This teaches the importer to handle INSERT_SUBREG instructions. We were missing patterns involving INSERT_SUBREG in AArch64.
To meaningfully import it, the GlobalISelEmitter needs to know how to infer a super register class for a given register class.
This patch introduces the following to achieve this:
- getSuperRegForSubReg, a function which finds the largest register class which supports a value type and subregister index
- inferSuperRegisterClass, a function which finds the appropriate super register class for an INSERT_SUBREG
- inferRegClassFromPattern, a function which allows for some trivial lookthrough into instructions
- getRegClassFromLeaf, a helper function which returns the register class for a leaf TreePatternNode
- Support for subregister index operands in importExplicitUseRenderer
It also
- Updates tests in each backend which are impacted by the change
- Adds GlobalISelEmitterSubreg.td to test that we import and skip the expected patterns
As a result of this patch, INSERT_SUBREG patterns in X86 may use the LOW32_ADDR_ACCESS_RBP register class instead of GR32. This is correct, since the register class contains the same registers as GR32 (except with the addition of RBP). So, this also teaches X86 to handle that register class. This is in line with X86ISelLowering, which treats this as a GR class.
If A and B have the same size then you would end up with a tie. This can result in non-deterministic sorting order. I guess you would need a tie breaker in that case.
