Sanjay Patel c4d2690b90 [DAGCombiner] allow transforming (select Cond, C +/- 1, C) to (add(ext Cond), C) ... select Cond, C +/- 1, C --> add(ext Cond), C -- with a target hook. This is part of the ongoing process to obsolete D24480. The motivation is to canonicalize to select IR in InstCombine whenever possible, so we need to have a way to undo that easily in codegen. PowerPC is an obvious winner for this kind of transform because it has fast and complete bit-twiddling abilities but generally lousy conditional execution perf (although this might have changed in recent implementations). x86 also sees some wins, but the effect is limited because these transforms already mostly exist in its target-specific combineSelectOfTwoConstants(). The fact that we see any x86 changes just shows that that code is a mess of special-case holes. We may be able to remove some of that logic now. My guess is that other targets will want to enable this hook for most cases. The likely follow-ups would be to add value type and/or the constants themselves as parameters for the hook. As the tests in select_const.ll show, we can transform any select-of-constants to math/logic, but the general transform for any 2 constants needs one more instruction (multiply or 'and'). ARM is one target that I think may not want this for most cases. I see infinite loops there because it wants to use selects to enable conditionally executed instructions.
