Comment typo and not needed

This is a very simple pattern so should go with the instruction definition's pattern

Should also include a test which has an immediate source to make sure that it is moved into a register. Another that uses inline asm to put a value in m0 would also be useful (same for the other intrinsic too)

Attributes not needed on call site

Use attribute group for the nounwind also

cfang updated this revision to Diff 64615.Jul 19 2016, 5:16 PM

update based on Matt's comments:

  1. Remove unnecessary comments in intrinsic definitions;
  2. move the pattern defs into instructions;
  3. add imm src test cases;
  4. remove unnecessary attributes at call sites;
  5. put "nounwind" into a new attribute group.
NOTE: M0 test case is not added in this update.

I think you should still add the m0 testcase even though it isn't folded

Add "m0" testcase based on Matt's request.

TODO: shoudl fold m0 into the src operand of readlane/readfirstlane. This is at a lower priority and can be done in a separate patch.

You should use the type in the pattern rather than the register class.

Same here.

Extra whitespace.

Do you plan to add code to DivergenceAnalysis to recognize these intrinsics? We might eventually want to use a readfirstlane intrinsic from Mesa to hint when certain indices can be assumed to be uniform.

(Right now, LLVM ends up deciding where to insert the readfirstlane in those cases, since they are situations where buffer resource descriptors are loaded which must end up in SGPRs anyway. By giving a readfirstlane hint, we could perhaps generate more efficient code.)

Update based on Tom's Comments:

  1. Use the type in the pattern instead of register class.
  2. remove extra white space.

I do not have this plan right now. But we will definitely consider your suggestion.

Hi, Matt and Tom:

Is there any further suggestions on this patch? Thanks.

Need further suggestion what to do on this. I think readlane and readfirstlane are very important.
