Some of these tests did not specify a cpu but were also sensitive to
instruction scheduling and/or register assignment choices. A few others
similarly-sensitive tests specified a cpu (often the POWER7), and while the P7
currently uses the default model for PPC64, this will soon change. For those
tests which should not really be cpu-dependent anyway, the cpu is set to the
generic 'ppc64'.

This is a preliminary patch for fast instruction selection on
PowerPC. Code generation can differ between DAG isel and fast isel.
Existing tests that specify -O0 were written to expect DAG isel. Make
this explicit by adding -fast-isel=false to the tests.
In some cases specifying -fast-isel=false produces different code even
when there isn't a fast instruction selector specified. This is
because TM.Options.EnableFastISel = 1 at -O0 whether or not a FastISel
object exists. Thus disabling fast isel can actually produce less
conservative code. Because of this, some of the expected code
generation in the -O0 tests needs to be adjusted.
In particular, handling of function arguments is less conservative
with -fast-isel=false (see isOnlyUsedInEntryBlock() in
SelectionDAGBuilder.cpp). This results in fewer stack accesses and,
in some cases, reduced stack size as uselessly loaded values are no
longer stored back to spill locations in the stack.
No functional change with this patch; test case adjustments only.

Some implementation detail in the forgotten past required the link
register to be placed in the GPRC and G8RC register classes. This is
just wrong on the face of it, and causes several extra intersection
register classes to be generated. I found this was having evil
effects on instruction scheduling, by causing the wrong register class
to be consulted for register pressure decisions.
No code generation changes are expected, other than some minor changes
in instruction order. Seven tests in the test bucket required minor
tweaks to adjust to the new normal.

Hal Finkel recently added code to allow unaligned memory references
for PowerPC. Two tests were temporarily modified with
-disable-ppc-unaligned to keep them from failing. This patch adjusts
the expected code generation for the unaligned references.

Unaligned access is supported on PPC for non-vector types, and is generally
more efficient than manually expanding the loads and stores.
A few of the existing test cases were using expanded unaligned loads and stores
to test other features (like load/store with update), and for these test cases,
unaligned access remains disabled.

For the PowerPC 64-bit ELF Linux ABI, aggregates of size less than 8
bytes are to be passed in the low-order bits ("right-adjusted") of the
doubleword register or memory slot assigned to them. A previous patch
addressed this for aggregates passed in registers. However, small
aggregates passed in the overflow portion of the parameter save area are
still being passed left-adjusted.
The fix is made in PPCTargetLowering::LowerCall_Darwin_Or_64SVR4 on the
caller side, and in PPCTargetLowering::LowerFormalArguments_64SVR4 on
the callee side. The main fix on the callee side simply extends
existing logic for 1- and 2-byte objects to 1- through 7-byte objects,
and correcting a constant left over from 32-bit code. There is also a
fix to a bogus calculation of the offset to the following argument in
the parameter save area.
On the caller side, again a constant left over from 32-bit code is
fixed. Additionally, some code for 1, 2, and 4-byte objects is
duplicated to handle the 3, 5, 6, and 7-byte objects for SVR4 only. The
LowerCall_Darwin_Or_64SVR4 logic is getting fairly convoluted trying to
handle both ABIs, and I propose to separate this into two functions in a
future patch, at which time the duplication can be removed.
The patch adds a new test (structsinmem.ll) to demonstrate correct
passing of structures of all seven sizes. Eight dummy parameters are
used to force these structures to be in the overflow portion of the
parameter save area.
As a side effect, this corrects the case when aggregates passed in
registers are saved into the first eight doublewords of the parameter
save area: Previously they were stored left-justified, and now are
properly stored right-justified. This requires changing the expected
output of existing test case structsinregs.ll.
