Hi,
This patch teaches GCC that zero-extending a MVE predicate from 16-bits
to 32-bits and then only using 16-bits is a no-op.
It does so in two steps:
- it lets gcc know that it can access any MVE predicate mode using any
other MVE predicate mode without needing to copy it, using the
TARGET_MODES_TIEABLE_P hook,
- it teaches simplify_subreg to optimize a subreg with a vector
outermode, by replacing this outermode with a same-sized integer mode
and trying the avalailable optimizations, then if successful it
surrounds the result with a subreg casting it back to the original
vector outermode.
This removes the unnecessary zero-extending shown on PR 107674 (though
it's a sign-extend there), that was introduced in gcc 11.
Bootstrapped on aarch64-none-linux-gnu and regression tested on
arm-none-eabi and armeb-none-eabi for armv8.1-m.main+mve.fp.
OK for trunk?
gcc/ChangeLog:
PR target/107674
* conig/arm/arm.cc (arm_hard_regno_mode_ok): Use new MACRO.
(arm_modes_tieable_p): Make MVE predicate modes tieable.
* config/arm/arm.h (VALID_MVE_PRED_MODE): New define.
* simplify-rtx.cc (simplify_context::simplify_subreg): Teach
simplify_subreg to simplify subregs where the outermode is not scalar.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gcc.target/arm/mve/mve_vpt.c: Change to remove unecessary
zero-extend.
