rather than 'unsigned' for their costs.
For something like costs in particular there is a natural "negative"
value, that of savings or saved cost. As a consequence, there is a lot
of code that subtracts or creates negative values based on cost, all of
which is prone to awkwardness or bugs when dealing with an unsigned
type. Similarly, we *never* want these values to wrap, as that would
cause Very Bad code generation (likely percieved as an infinite loop as
we try to emit over 2^32 instructions or some such insanity).
All around 'int' seems a much better fit for these basic metrics. I've
added asserts to ensure that at least the TTI interface never returns
negative numbers here. If we ever have a use case for negative numbers,
we can remove this, but this way a bug where someone used '-1' to
produce a 'very large' cost will be caught by the assert.
This passes all tests, and is also UBSan clean.
No functional change intended.

This the first of a series of patches to add CodeGen support exploiting
the instructions of the z13 vector facility. This patch adds support
for the native integer vector types (v16i8, v8i16, v4i32, v2i64).
When the vector facility is present, we default to the new vector ABI.
This is characterized by two major differences:
- Vector types are passed/returned in vector registers
(except for unnamed arguments of a variable-argument list function).
- Vector types are at most 8-byte aligned.
The reason for the choice of 8-byte vector alignment is that the hardware
is able to efficiently load vectors at 8-byte alignment, and the ABI only
guarantees 8-byte alignment of the stack pointer, so requiring any higher
alignment for vectors would require dynamic stack re-alignment code.
However, for compatibility with old code that may use vector types, when
*not* using the vector facility, the old alignment rules (vector types
are naturally aligned) remain in use.
These alignment rules are not only implemented at the C language level
(implemented in clang), but also at the LLVM IR level. This is done
by selecting a different DataLayout string depending on whether the
vector ABI is in effect or not.
Based on a patch by Richard Sandiford.

We already exploit a number of instructions specific to z196,
but not yet POPCNT. Add support for the population-count
facility, MC support for the POPCNT instruction, CodeGen
support for using POPCNT, and implement the getPopcntSupport
TargetTransformInfo hook.
llvm-svn: 233689
This hooks up the TargetTransformInfo machinery for SystemZ,
and provides an implementation of getIntImmCost.
In addition, the patch adds the isLegalICmpImmediate and
isLegalAddImmediate TargetLowering overrides, and updates
a couple of test cases where we now generate slightly
better code.
