[AVX512] Generate masking instruction variants with tablegen
After adding the masking variants to several instructions, I have decided to experiment with generating these from the non-masking/unconditional variant. This will hopefully reduce the amount repetition that we currently have in order to define an instruction with all its variants (for a reg/mem instruction this would be 6 instruction defs and 2 Pat<> for the intrinsic). The patch is the first cut that is currently only applied to valignd/q to make the patch small. A few notes on the approach: * In order to stitch together the dag for both the conditional and the unconditional patterns I pass the RHS of the set rather than the full pattern (set dest, RHS). * Rather than subclassing each instruction base class (e.g. AVX512AIi8), with a masking variant which wouldn't scale, I derived the masking instructions from a new base class AVX512 (this is just I<> with Requires<HasAVX512>). The instructions derive from this now, plus a new set of classes that add the format bits and everything else that instruction base class provided (i.e. AVX512AIi8 vs. AVX512AIi8Base). I hope we can go incrementally from here. I expect that: * We will need different variants of the masking class. One example is instructions requiring three vector sources. In this case we tie one of the source operands to dest rather than a new implicit source operand ($src0) * Add the zero-masking variant * Add more AVX512*Base classes as new uses are added I've looked at X86.td.expanded before and after to make sure that nothing got lost for valignd/q. llvm-svn: 215125
