PR target/107548: Handle vec_select in STV on x86.
This patch enhances x86's STV pass to handle VEC_SELECT during general
scalar chain conversion, performing SImode scalar extraction from V4SI
and DImode scalar extraction from V2DI in vector registers.
The motivating test case from bugzilla is:
typedef unsigned int v4si __attribute__((vector_size(16)));
unsigned int f (v4si a, v4si b)
{
a[0] += b[0];
return a[0] + a[1];
}
currently with -O2 -march=znver2 this generates:
vpextrd $1, %xmm0, %edx
vmovd %xmm0, %eax
addl %edx, %eax
vmovd %xmm1, %edx
addl %edx, %eax
ret
which performs three transfers from the vector unit to the scalar unit,
and performs the two additions there. With this patch, we now generate:
vmovdqa %xmm0, %xmm2
vpshufd $85, %xmm0, %xmm0
vpaddd %xmm0, %xmm2, %xmm0
vpaddd %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm0
vmovd %xmm0, %eax
ret
which performs the two additions in the vector unit, and then transfers
the result to the scalar unit. Technically the (cheap) movdqa isn't
needed with better register allocation (or this could be cleaned up
during peephole2), but even so this transform is still a win.
