[x86] use more shift or LEA for select-of-constants (2nd try)
The previous rev (r310208) failed to account for overflow when subtracting the constants to see if they're suitable for shift/lea. This version add a check for that and more test were added in r310490. We can convert any select-of-constants to math ops: http://rise4fun.com/Alive/d7d For this patch, I'm enhancing an existing x86 transform that uses fake multiplies (they always become shl/lea) to avoid cmov or branching. The current code misses cases where we have a negative constant and a positive constant, so this is just trying to plug that hole. The DAGCombiner diff prevents us from hitting a terrible inefficiency: we can start with a select in IR, create a select DAG node, convert it into a sext, convert it back into a select, and then lower it to sext machine code. Some notes about the test diffs: 1. 2010-08-04-MaskedSignedCompare.ll - We were creating control flow that didn't exist in the IR. 2. memcmp.ll - Choose -1 or 1 is the case that got me looking at this again. We could avoid the push/pop in some cases if we used 'movzbl %al' instead of an xor on a different reg? That's a post-DAG problem though. 3. mul-constant-result.ll - The trade-off between sbb+not vs. setne+neg could be addressed if that's a regression, but those would always be nearly equivalent. 4. pr22338.ll and sext-i1.ll - These tests have undef operands, so we don't actually care about these diffs. 5. sbb.ll - This shows a win for what is likely a common case: choose -1 or 0. 6. select.ll - There's another borderline case here: cmp+sbb+or vs. test+set+lea? Also, sbb+not vs. setae+neg shows up again. 7. select_const.ll - These are motivating cases for the enhancement; replace cmov with cheaper ops. Assembly differences between movzbl and xor to avoid a partial reg stall are caused later by the X86 Fixup SetCC pass. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D35340 llvm-svn: 310717
