Subject: [PATCH] x86: improve fast bfloat->float conversion
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 08:08:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d75a4d5a-8624-aa77-9f29-140767357b58@suse.com> (raw)

There's nothing AVX512BW-ish in here, so no reason to use Yw as the
constraints for the AVX alternative. Furthermore by using the 512-bit
form of VPSSLD (in a new alternative) all 32 registers can be used
directly by the insn without AVX512VL needing to be enabled.

Also adjust the originally last alternative's "prefix" attribute to
maybe_evex.

gcc/

	* config/i386/i386.md (extendbfsf2_1): Add new AVX512F
	alternative. Adjust original last alternative's "prefix"
	attribute to maybe_evex.
---
The corresponding expander, "extendbfsf2", looks to have been dead since
its introduction in a1ecc5600464 ("Fix incorrect _mm_cvtsbh_ss"): The
builtin references the insn (extendbfsf2_1), not the expander. Can't the
expander be deleted and the name of the insn then pruned of the _1
suffix? If so, that further raises the question of the significance of
the "!HONOR_NANS (BFmode)" that the expander has, but the insn doesn't
have. Which may instead suggest the builtin was meant to reference the
expander. Yet then I can't see what would the builtin would expand to
when HONOR_NANS (BFmode) it true.

I further wonder whether the nearby "extendhfdf2" expander is really
needed. It doesn't look to specify anything that the corresponding insn
doesn't also specify.
