rG62b5df7fe2b3: [PowerPC] Added multiple PowerPC builtins
Summary

This is the first in a series of patches to provide builtins for
compatibility with the XL compiler. Most of the builtins already had
intrinsics and only needed to be implemented in the front end.
Intrinsics were created for the three iospace builtins, eieio, and icbt.
Pseudo instructions were created for eieio and iospace_eieio to
ensure that nops were inserted before the eieio instruction.

Is there any motivation to add these builtins? I don't see them implemented in GCC. Besides, in Clang I think a prefix __builtin is preferred for them.

clang/include/clang/Basic/BuiltinsPPC.def

On PPC we have __builtin_popcount, but I only saw popcntw and popcntd generated. (I didn't verify it carefully)

In terms of the motivation for this, the description of the patch should include something along the lines of:

"This is the first in a series of patches to provide builtins for compatibility with the XL compiler."

Since these builtins don't really conform to the typical naming in clang (i.e. using the __builtin prefix), perhaps @rjmccall or @rsmith have a suggestion as to how we should proceed here.
If the names with two underscores are acceptable, great (there won't be any name clashes with existing builtins).
However if those names are not acceptable, we might be able to implement some sort of compatibility layer in Clang where the names are intercepted if compiling for a PPC target and handled in CGBuiltin.cpp.

clang/include/clang/Basic/BuiltinsPPC.def

There isn't really a good candidate builtin for this since this does a popcount in each byte separately. Of course, it could be used for a popcount of i8, but that is just a subset of what the builtin/instruction do.

If these builtins are generally supposed to be accessed through a compiler-provided header, you could make that header define these functions using underlying builtins that have a __builtin prefix. That's not completely necessary, though; we do support some other non-library builtins that lack the __builtin prefix. And it sounds like maybe there isn't such a header anyway.

Adding a comment in BuiltinsPPC.def for motivation.

The Clang part of this looks fine to me; I can't review the backend changes, but you have partial approval.

This update is motivated by comments made by @nemanjai. All of the builtin names have been changed to follow the convention of __builtin_<arch>_<func>. To fulfill the original goal of compatibility with the XL compiler, macros have been added to map __<func> to __builtin_ppc_<func>.

Alright, that's fine with me, too.

LGTM. Thanks for implementing this. The redundant pseudo can be removed when committing.

These two are identical. Please only define one.
