This patch is the final piece in the series to improve the ABI issues
affecting PR 88873. The previous patches tackled inserting DFmode
values into V2DFmode registers, by introducing insvti_{low,high}part
patterns. This patch improves the extraction of DFmode values from
V2DFmode registers via TImode intermediates.
I'd initially thought this would require new extvti_{low,high}part
patterns to be defined, but all that's required is to recognize that
the SUBREG idioms produced by combine are equivalent to (forms of)
vec_select patterns. The target-independent middle-end can't be sure
that the appropriate vec_select instruction exists on the target,
hence doesn't canonicalize a SUBREG of a vector mode as a vec_select,
but the backend can provide a define_split stating where and when
this is useful, for example, considering whether the operand is in
memory, or whether !TARGET_SSE_MATH and the destination is i387.
For pr88873.c, gcc -O2 -march=cascadelake currently generates:
foo: vpunpcklqdq %xmm3, %xmm2, %xmm7
vpunpcklqdq %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm6
vpunpcklqdq %xmm5, %xmm4, %xmm2
vmovdqa %xmm7, -24(%rsp)
vmovdqa %xmm6, %xmm1
movq -16(%rsp), %rax
vpinsrq $1, %rax, %xmm7, %xmm4
vmovapd %xmm4, %xmm6
vfmadd132pd %xmm1, %xmm2, %xmm6
vmovapd %xmm6, -24(%rsp)
vmovsd -16(%rsp), %xmm1
vmovsd -24(%rsp), %xmm0
ret
with this patch, we now generate:
foo: vpunpcklqdq %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm6
vpunpcklqdq %xmm3, %xmm2, %xmm7
vpunpcklqdq %xmm5, %xmm4, %xmm2
vmovdqa %xmm6, %xmm1
vfmadd132pd %xmm7, %xmm2, %xmm1
vmovsd %xmm1, %xmm1, %xmm0
vunpckhpd %xmm1, %xmm1, %xmm1
ret
The improvement is even more dramatic when compared to the original
29 instructions shown in comment #8. GCC 13, for example, required
12 transfers to/from memory.
