[TargetLowering][RISCV] Introduce isSExtCheaperThanZExt hook and implement for RISC-V
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

DAGTypeLegalizer::PromoteSetCCOperands currently prefers to zero-extend operands when it is able to do so. For some targets this is more expensive than a sign-extension, which is also a valid choice. Introduce the isSExtCheaperThanZExt hook and use it in the new SExtOrZExtPromotedInteger helper. On RISC-V, we prefer sign-extension for FromTy == MVT::i32 and ToTy == MVT::i64, as it can be performed using a single instruction.

Should

if (!Subtarget.is64Bit())
    return false;

be added here? i64 shouldn't make it this far on 32 bit but is it better to be explicit?

Makes sense.

This probably needs a doc-comment explaining that for a given subtarget and type, the choice of either sign-extension or zero-extension is consistent.
