[AArch64] Avoid unnecessary vector byte-swapping in big-endian
Summary: Loads/stores of some NEON vector types are promoted to other vector types with different lane sizes but same vector size. This is not a problem in little-endian but, when in big-endian, it requires additional byte reversals required to preserve the lane ordering while keeping the right endianness of the data inside each lane. For example: %1 = load <4 x half>, <4 x half>* %p results in the following assembly: ld1 { v0.2s }, [x1] rev32 v0.4h, v0.4h This patch changes the promotion of these loads/stores so that the actual vector load/store (LD1/ST1) takes care of the endianness correctly and there is no need for further byte reversals. The previous code now results in the following assembly: ld1 { v0.4h }, [x1] Reviewers: olista01, SjoerdMeijer, efriedma Reviewed By: efriedma Subscribers: aemerson, rengolin, javed.absar, llvm-commits, kristof.beyls Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D42235 llvm-svn: 323325
