[AArch64] Unify vec_set patterns, support floating-point vector modes properly
We've a deficiency in our vec_set family of patterns. We don't support directly loading a vector lane using LD1 for V2DImode and all the vector floating-point modes. We do do it correctly for the other integer vector modes (V4SI, V8HI etc) though. The alternatives on the relative floating-point patterns only allow a register-to-register INS instruction. That means if we want to load a value into a vector lane we must first load it into a scalar register and then perform an INS, which is wasteful. There is also an explicit V2DI vec_set expander dangling around for no reason that I can see. It seems to do the exact same things as the other vec_set expanders. This patch removes that. It now unifies all vec_set expansions into a single "vec_set<mode>" define_expand using the catch-all VALL_F16 iterator. With this patch we avoid loading values into scalar registers and then doing an explicit INS on them to move them into the desired vector lanes. For example for: typedef float v4sf __attribute__ ((vector_size (16))); typedef long long v2di __attribute__ ((vector_size (16))); v2di foo_v2di (long long *a, long long *b) { v2di res = { *a, *b }; return res; } v4sf foo_v4sf (float *a, float *b, float *c, float *d) { v4sf res = { *a, *b, *c, *d }; return res; } we currently generate: foo_v2di: ldr d0, [x0] ldr x0, [x1] ins v0.d[1], x0 ret foo_v4sf: ldr s0, [x0] ldr s3, [x1] ldr s2, [x2] ldr s1, [x3] ins v0.s[1], v3.s[0] ins v0.s[2], v2.s[0] ins v0.s[3], v1.s[0] ret but with this patch we generate the much cleaner: foo_v2di: ldr d0, [x0] ld1 {v0.d}[1], [x1] ret foo_v4sf: ldr s0, [x0] ld1 {v0.s}[1], [x1] ld1 {v0.s}[2], [x2] ld1 {v0.s}[3], [x3] ret * config/aarch64/aarch64-simd.md (vec_set<mode>): Use VALL_F16 mode iterator. Delete separate integer-mode vec_set<mode> expander. (aarch64_simd_vec_setv2di): Delete. (vec_setv2di): Delete. (aarch64_simd_vec_set<mode>): Delete all other patterns with that name. Use VALL_F16 mode iterator. Add LD1 alternative and use vwcore for the "w, r" alternative. * gcc.target/aarch64/vect-init-ld1.c: New test. From-SVN: r260351
