Bug ID: 60451
Summary: X86 vectorization improve: pack instead of pshufb
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

test case
Currently vectorizer use 2 "pshufb" and "or" for even/odd permutation.
(odd case)
pshufb %xmm5, %xmm1
pshufb %xmm4, %xmm0
por %xmm0, %xmm1
where
%xmm4 0 2 4 6 8 a c e -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
%xmm5 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 0 2 4 6 8 a c e
gcc/config/i386/i386.c (expand_vec_perm_even_odd_1):
case V16QImode:
if (TARGET_SSSE3)
return expand_vec_perm_pshufb2 (d);
However in case of even/odd we can use:
2 "pand" and 1 "packuswb"
pand %xmm6, %xmm0
pand %xmm6, %xmm1
packuswb %xmm1, %xmm0
where
%xmm6 is 0x00ff00ff00ff00ff
This will improve performance for architectures with slow pshufb instructions
and reduce code size on 1 constant.
For attached test Silvermont performance improve is 30%.
