The motivation is that the update script has at least two deviations
(`<...>@GOT`/`<...>@PLT`/ and not hiding pointer arithmetics) from
what pretty much all the checklines were generated with,
and most of the tests are still not updated, so each time one of the
non-up-to-date tests is updated to see the effect of the code change,
there is a lot of noise. Instead of having to deal with that each
time, let's just deal with everything at once.
This has been done via:
```
cd llvm-project/llvm/test/CodeGen/X86
grep -rl "; NOTE: Assertions have been autogenerated by utils/update_llc_test_checks.py" | xargs -L1 <...>/llvm-project/llvm/utils/update_llc_test_checks.py --llc-binary <...>/llvm-project/build/bin/llc
```
Not all tests were regenerated, however.
After D98856 these tests will by default break (fatal_error) if any of
the wrong interfaces are used, so there's no longer a need to have a
RUN line that checks for a warning message emitted by the compiler.
This patch adds a new intrinsic experimental.vector.reduce that takes a single
vector and returns a vector of matching type but with the original lane order
reversed. For example:
```
vector.reverse(<A,B,C,D>) ==> <D,C,B,A>
```
The new intrinsic supports fixed and scalable vectors types.
The fixed-width vector relies on shufflevector to maintain existing behaviour.
Scalable vector uses the new ISD node - VECTOR_REVERSE.
This new intrinsic is one of the named shufflevector intrinsics proposed on the
mailing-list in the RFC at [1].
