This patch adds a basic version of a combine that attempts to remove
shuffles that when combined simplify away to an identity shuffle. For
example:
%ab = shufflevector <8 x half> %a, <8 x half> poison, <4 x i32> <i32 3,
i32 2, i32 1, i32 0>
%at = shufflevector <8 x half> %a, <8 x half> poison, <4 x i32> <i32 7,
i32 6, i32 5, i32 4>
%abt = fneg <4 x half> %at
%abb = fneg <4 x half> %ab
%r = shufflevector <4 x half> %abt, <4 x half> %abb, <8 x i32> <i32 7,
i32 6, i32 5, i32 4, i32 3, i32 2, i32 1, i32 0>
By looking through the shuffles and fneg, it can be simplified to:
%r = fneg <8 x half> %a
The code tracks each lane starting from the original shuffle, keeping a
track of a vector of {src, idx}. As we propagate up through the
instructions we will either look through intermediate instructions
(binops and unops) or see a collections of lanes that all have the same
src and incrementing idx (an identity). We can also see a single value
with identical lanes, which we can treat like a splat.
Only the basic version is added here, handling identities, splats,
binops and unops. In follow-up patches other instructions can be added
such as constants, intrinsics, cmp/sel and zext/sext/trunc.
