[AArch64] Convert CMP/SELECT sign patterns to OR & ASR.
ICMP & SELECT patterns extracting the sign of a value can be simplified to OR & ASR (see https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/Xx4iZ0). This does not save any instructions in IR, but it is profitable on AArch64, because we need at least 2 extra instructions to materialize 1 and -1 for the SELECT. The improvements result in ~5% speedups on loops of the form static int sign_of(int x) { if (x < 0) return -1; return 1; } void foo(const int *x, int *res, int cnt) { for (int i=0;i<cnt;i++) res[i] = sign_of(x[i]); } Reviewed By: dmgreen Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D96596
