[SelectionDAG] Optimization of BITREVERSE legalization for power-of-2 integer scalar/vector types
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

An extension of D19978, this patch replaces the default BITREVERSE evaluation of individual bit masks+shifts with block mask+shifts when we have integer elements of power-of-2 bits in size.

After calling BSWAP to reverse the order of the constituent bytes (which typically follows a similar approach), every neighbouring 4-bits, 2-bits and finally 1-bit pairs are masked off and swapped over with shifts.

In doing so we can significantly reduce the number of operations required.

I haven't looked at bitreverse before this, so James or someone else should review too. A few nits inline, but otherwise LGTM.

Is there something that guarantees that an i2 or i4 type doesn't get in here? Should we assert that VT is i8 or larger?

BTW, there's a bug in the LangRef:
"The llvm.bitreverse.iN intrinsic returns an i16 value"

lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/LegalizeDAG.cpp
2560

Open code?

2568–2569

If I'm reading this sentence correctly, it should be:
"If we can, perform"

test/CodeGen/X86/vector-bitreverse.ll
16

I wish we printed hex asm comments for 8-bit immediates too. :)

Updated based on Sanjay's comments.

James - any comments?

Hi,

Apologies, I was away on vacation.

Difficult to see in the x86 test noise, but do we have any tests that check the original, unoptimized behaviour? (like using i7 or i24)?

Cheers,

James
