This patch enhances x86's STV pass to handle VEC_SELECT during general scalar chain conversion, performing SImode scalar extraction from V4SI and DImode scalar extraction from V2DI vector registers. The motivating test case from bugzilla is: typedef unsigned int v4si __attribute__((vector_size(16))); unsigned int f (v4si a, v4si b) { a[0] += b[0]; return a[0] + a[1]; } currently with -O2 -march=znver2 this generates: vpextrd $1, %xmm0, %edx vmovd %xmm0, %eax addl %edx, %eax vmovd %xmm1, %edx addl %edx, %eax ret which performs three transfers from the vector unit to the scalar unit, and performs the two additions there. With this patch, we now generate: vmovdqa %xmm0, %xmm2 vpshufd $85, %xmm0, %xmm0 vpaddd %xmm0, %xmm2, %xmm0 vpaddd %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm0 vmovd %xmm0, %eax ret which performs the two additions in the vector unit, and then transfers the result to the scalar unit. Technically the (cheap) movdqa isn't needed with better register allocation (or this could be cleaned up during peephole2), but even so this transform is still a win. This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with make bootstrap and make -k check, both with and without --target_board=unix{-m32}, with no new failures.
