[CodeGen] Fix the computation of the alignment of split stores.

[courbet]

Summary

Right now the alignment of the lower half of a store is computed as
align/2, which fails for unaligned stores (align = 1), and is overly
pessimitic for, e.g. a 8 byte store aligned to 4 bytes.
Fixes PR44851

[courbet]

remove dplicate test

Can you reuse Alignment here?

On a first read, this is very confusing.
When splitting store in half, naturally one half will retain the alignment
of the original wider store, regardless of whether it was over-aligned or not,
while other will require adjustment.

6875

Can the no-longer-pessimism of the computation be demonstrated by the tests?

[courbet]

use opt test to explicitly show align

[courbet]

Add a test with align=2 to show "no-longer-pessimism".

[courbet]

Improve documentation as suggested during the review.

Hmm.
Could you please add a similar test (but with wide store being 64-bit aligned) with big-endian triple please.

[courbet]

rename test file

[courbet]

add PowerPC test

[lebedev.ri]

LG to me.

Okay, i guess there is no big-endian issue after all.

Wait - why is there no difference between LE and BE here?
We may need to explicitly specify the datalayout on the command-line or in the test file.

[spatel]

CGP is not creating an appropriate default datalayout based on triple, so we need to specify it explicitly:

$ opt -S splitstore.ll -mtriple=powerpc64 -data-layout="E" -force-split-store -codegenprepare
; ModuleID = 'splitstore.ll'
source_filename = "splitstore.ll"
target datalayout = "E"
target triple = "powerpc64"

define void @split_store_align8(i32 %x, i64* %p) {
  %z = zext i32 43 to i64
  %s = shl nuw nsw i64 %z, 32
  %z2 = zext i32 %x to i64
  %o = or i64 %s, %z2
  %1 = bitcast i64* %p to i32*
  %2 = getelementptr i32, i32* %1, i32 1
  store i32 %x, i32* %2, align 8
  %3 = bitcast i64* %p to i32*
  store i32 43, i32* %3, align 4
  ret void
}

$ opt -S splitstore.ll -mtriple=powerpc64le -data-layout="e" -force-split-store -codegenprepare
; ModuleID = 'splitstore.ll'
source_filename = "splitstore.ll"
target datalayout = "e"
target triple = "powerpc64le"

define void @split_store_align8(i32 %x, i64* %p) {
  %z = zext i32 43 to i64
  %s = shl nuw nsw i64 %z, 32
  %z2 = zext i32 %x to i64
  %o = or i64 %s, %z2
  %1 = bitcast i64* %p to i32*
  store i32 %x, i32* %1, align 8
  %2 = bitcast i64* %p to i32*
  %3 = getelementptr i32, i32* %2, i32 1
  store i32 43, i32* %3, align 4
  ret void
}

[courbet]

Add target triple in module in tests, which shows the brokenness of alignment
for BE targets. Fit it.

Thanks !

LG for real now :)

Oops, thanks for catching that.
So there was an issue after all.

LGTM - see inline for a comment nit and some potential test changes.

The suggested "one half" is better than the current "lower half" - eliminate the endian-specific inaccuracy.

Unless I'm missing some advantage of the way of the tests are arranged currently, I prefer that:

1. The tests live under llvm/test/Transforms/CodeGenPrepare/<target>. I know there are exceptions, but that is where I first look for IR --> IR tests.
2. If we include the layout specifiers as parameters in the RUN line, then it saves some duplication, and it's easier to spot the endian differences.
3. If we can push the non-crashing tests as a preliminary commit, that would be nicer, so we can see the current buggy code (and the tests will remain just in case this patch ever gets reverted).

[lebedev.ri]

We probably want to backport the big-endian fix into 10.0 in some form?
Please do file a bug

[courbet]

rebase on submitted base tests.

[courbet]

Thanks for the review !
