Move from passing and returning u8 and u16 values to u32 in many of
the functions. This removes a number of type conversions and gives
a small compilation time speedup, around ~0.7% on my aarch64 machine.

Peepmatic was an early attempt at a DSL for peephole optimizations, with the
idea that maybe sometime in the future we could user it for instruction
selection as well. It didn't really pan out, however:
* Peepmatic wasn't quite flexible enough, and adding new operators or snippets
of code implemented externally in Rust was a bit of a pain.
* The performance was never competitive with the hand-written peephole
optimizers. It was *very* size efficient, but that came at the cost of
run-time efficiency. Everything was table-based and interpreted, rather than
generating any Rust code.
Ultimately, because of these reasons, we never turned Peepmatic on by default.
These days, we just landed the ISLE domain-specific language, and it is better
suited than Peepmatic for all the things that Peepmatic was originally designed
to do. It is more flexible and easy to integrate with external Rust code. It is
has better time efficiency, meeting or even beating hand-written code. I think a
small part of the reason why ISLE excels in these things is because its design
was informed by Peepmatic's failures. I still plan on continuing Peepmatic's
mission to make Cranelift's peephole optimizer passes generated from DSL rewrite
rules, but using ISLE instead of Peepmatic.
Thank you Peepmatic, rest in peace!
* Encode vselect using BLEND instructions on x86
* Legalize vselect to bitselect
* Optimize bitselect to vselect for some operands
* Add run tests for bitselect-vselect optimization
* Address review feedback
Rather than outright replacing parts of our existing peephole optimizations
passes, this makes peepmatic an optional cargo feature that can be enabled. This
allows us to take a conservative approach with enabling peepmatic everywhere,
while also allowing us to get it in-tree and make it easier to collaborate on
improving it quickly.
After replacing an instruction with an alias to an earlier value, trying to
further optimize that value is unnecessary, since we've already processed it,
and also was triggering an assertion.
This ports all of the identity, no-op, simplification, and canonicalization
related optimizations over from being hand-coded to the `peepmatic` DSL. This
does not handle the branch-to-branch optimizations or most of the
divide-by-constant optimizations.
* Manually rename BasicBlock to BlockPredecessor
BasicBlock is a pair of (Ebb, Inst) that is used to represent the
basic block subcomponent of an Ebb that is a predecessor to an Ebb.
Eventually we will be able to remove this struct, but for now it
makes sense to give it a non-conflicting name so that we can start
to transition Ebb to represent a basic block.
I have not updated any comments that refer to BasicBlock, as
eventually we will remove BlockPredecessor and replace with Block,
which is a basic block, so the comments will become correct.
* Manually rename SSABuilder block types to avoid conflict
SSABuilder has its own Block and BlockData types. These along with
associated identifier will cause conflicts in a later commit, so
they are renamed to be more verbose here.
* Automatically rename 'Ebb' to 'Block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'EBB' to 'block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'ebb' to 'block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'extended basic block' to 'basic block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'an basic block' to 'a basic block' in *.rs
* Manually update comment for `Block`
`Block`'s wikipedia article required an update.
* Automatically rename 'an `Block`' to 'a `Block`' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'extended_basic_block' to 'basic_block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'ebb' to 'block' in *.clif
* Manually rename clif constant that contains 'ebb' as substring to avoid conflict
* Automatically rename filecheck uses of 'EBB' to 'BB'
'regex: EBB' -> 'regex: BB'
'$EBB' -> '$BB'
* Automatically rename 'EBB' 'Ebb' to 'block' in *.clif
* Automatically rename 'an block' to 'a block' in *.clif
* Fix broken testcase when function name length increases
Test function names are limited to 16 characters. This causes
the new longer name to be truncated and fail a filecheck test. An
outdated comment was also fixed.
Converting something like iadd.i64 on a 32-bits architecture into a
iadd_imm.i64 will result in the instruction being legalized back to an
iadd.i64 later on, creating unnecessary churn.
This commit implements avoid doing so, and changes the target ISA to a
64-bits platform for tests than ran into this, as well as making sure
this won't happen on 32-bits platforms.
It can actually only replace one result; don't try to make it generic
yet, since there's no point in doing so right now, and make it do the
dumb thing so it's not surprising to use.
when replacing BinaryImm, we use the prior arg, but later use the arg
that was replaced when writing an alias if we can determine the new op
is actually equivalent to a simple copy
