[CGP] despeculate expensive cttz/ctlz intrinsics
This is another step towards allowing SimplifyCFG to speculate harder, but then have
CGP clean things up if the target doesn't like it.
Previous patches in this series:
http://reviews.llvm.org/D12882
http://reviews.llvm.org/D13297
D13297 should catch most expensive ops, but speculation of cttz/ctlz requires special
handling because of weirdness in the intrinsic definition for handling a zero input
(that definition can probably be blamed on x86).
For example, if we have the usual speculated-by-select expensive op pattern like this:
%tobool = icmp eq i64 %A, 0
%0 = tail call i64 @llvm.cttz.i64(i64 %A, i1 true) ; is_zero_undef == true
%cond = select i1 %tobool, i64 64, i64 %0
ret i64 %cond
There's an instcombine that will turn it into:
%0 = tail call i64 @llvm.cttz.i64(i64 %A, i1 false) ; is_zero_undef == false
This CGP patch is looking for that case and despeculating it back into:
entry:
%tobool = icmp eq i64 %A, 0
br i1 %tobool, label %cond.end, label %cond.true
cond.true:
%0 = tail call i64 @llvm.cttz.i64(i64 %A, i1 true) ; is_zero_undef == true
br label %cond.end
cond.end:
%cond = phi i64 [ %0, %cond.true ], [ 64, %entry ]
ret i64 %cond
This unfortunately may lead to poorer codegen (see the changes in the existing x86 test),
but if we increase speculation in SimplifyCFG (the next step in this patch series), then
we should avoid those kinds of cases in the first place.
