[SVE] Fall back on DAG ISel at -O0 when encountering scalable types
ClosedPublic

Summary

At the moment we use Global ISel by default at -O0, however it is
currently not capable of dealing with scalable vectors for two
reasons:

  1. The register banks know nothing about SVE registers.
  2. The LLT (Low Level Type) class knows nothing about scalable

vectors.

For now, the easiest way to avoid users hitting issues when using
the SVE ACLE is to fall back on normal DAG ISel when encountering
instructions that operate on scalable vector types.

I've added a couple of RUN lines to existing SVE tests to ensure
we can compile at -O0. I've also added some new tests to

CodeGen/AArch64/GlobalISel/arm64-fallback.ll

that demonstrate we correctly fallback to DAG ISel at -O0 when
lowering formal arguments or translating instructions that involve
scalable vector types.

Do we also need to check here for SVE arguments? I doubt the current call lowering is going to work with scalable vectors so we might need a check there too in lowerFormalArguments.

LGTM but please also add a test that we fall back to DAG for the argument lowering in the arm64-fallbacks.ll test.

Hi @aemerson are you happy with the new test I added before I commit?

Yes, but I meant add them to the existing test file in test/CodeGen/AArch64/GlobalISel/arm64-fallback.ll

Otherwise it's fine.

Hi @aemerson I've moved the test now - hope this is ok now! Thanks.
