This patch legalizes G_ZEXT, G_SEXT, and G_ANYEXT. If the type is a
legal mask type, then the instruction is legalized as the element-wise
select, where the condition on the select is the mask typed source
operand, and the true and false values are 1 or -1 (for
zero/any-extension and sign extension) and zero. If the type is a legal integer
or vector integer type, then the instruction is marked as legal.
The legalization of the extends may introduce a G_SPLAT_VECTOR, which
needs to be legalized in this patch for the extend test cases to pass.
A G_SPLAT_VECTOR is legal if the vector type is a legal integer or
floating point vector type and the source operand is sXLen type. This is
because the SelectionDAG patterns only support sXLen typed
ISD::SPLAT_VECTORS, and we'd like to reuse those patterns. A
G_SPLAT_VECTOR is cutom legalized if it has a legal s1 element vector
type and s1 scalar operand. It is legalized to G_VMSET_VL or G_VMCLR_VL
if the splat is all ones or all zeros respectivley. In the case of a
non-constant mask splat, we legalize by promoting the scalar value to
s8.
In order to get the s8 element vector back into s1 vector, we use a
G_ICMP. In order for the splat vector and extend tests to pass, we also
need to legalize G_ICMP in this patch.
A G_ICMP is legal if the destination type is a legal bool vector and the LHS and
RHS are legal integer vector types.
