[X86] Generate `kmov` for masking integers (#120593) When we have an integer used as a bit mask the llvm ir looks something like this ``` %1 = and <16 x i32> %.splat, <i32 1, i32 2, i32 4, i32 8, i32 16, i32 32, i32 64, i32 128, i32 256, i32 512, i32 1024, i32 2048, i32 4096, i32 8192, i32 16384, i32 32768> %cmp1 = icmp ne <16 x i32> %1, zeroinitializer ``` where `.splat` is vector containing the mask in all lanes. The assembly generated for this looks like ``` vpbroadcastd %ecx, %zmm0 vptestmd .LCPI0_0(%rip), %zmm0, %k1 ``` where we have a constant table of powers of 2. Instead of doing this we could just move the relevant bits directly to `k` registers using a `kmov` instruction. ``` kmovw %ecx, %k1 ``` This is faster and also reduces code size.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
