i386: Add additional variant of bswaphisi2_lowpart peephole2.
This patch adds an additional variation of the peephole2 used to convert bswaphisi2_lowpart into rotlhi3_1_slp, which converts xchgb %ah,%al into rotw if the flags register isn't live. The motivating example is: void ext(int x); void foo(int x) { ext((x&~0xffff)|((x>>8)&0xff)|((x&0xff)<<8)); } where GCC with -O2 currently produces: foo: movl %edi, %eax rolw $8, %ax movl %eax, %edi jmp ext The issue is that the original xchgb (bswaphisi2_lowpart) can only be performed in "Q" registers that allow the %?h register to be used, so reload generates the above two movl. However, it's later in peephole2 where we see that CC_FLAGS can be clobbered, so we can use a rotate word, which is more forgiving with register allocations. With the additional peephole2 proposed here, we now generate: foo: rolw $8, %di jmp ext 2024-07-04 Roger Sayle <roger@nextmovesoftware.com> gcc/ChangeLog * config/i386/i386.md (bswaphisi2_lowpart peephole2): New peephole2 variant to eliminate register shuffling. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog * gcc.target/i386/xchg-4.c: New test case.
