[X86][SSE] Improve support for 128-bit vector sign extension
This patch improves support for sign extension of the lower lanes of vectors of integers by making use of the SSE41 pmovsx* sign extension instructions where possible, and optimizing the sign extension by shifts on pre-SSE41 targets (avoiding the use of i64 arithmetic shifts which require scalarization). It converts SIGN_EXTEND nodes to SIGN_EXTEND_VECTOR_INREG where necessary, that more closely matches the pmovsx* instruction than the default approach of using SIGN_EXTEND_INREG which splits the operation (into an ANY_EXTEND lowered to a shuffle followed by shifts) making instruction matching difficult during lowering. Necessary support for SIGN_EXTEND_VECTOR_INREG has been added to the DAGCombiner. Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D9848 llvm-svn: 237885
