This patch is the backend piece of a solution to PRs 101955 and 106245,
that adds a define_insn_and_split to the i386 backend, to perform sign
extension of a single (least significant) bit using AND $1 then NEG.
Previously, (x<<31)>>31 would be generated as
sall $31, %eax // 3 bytes
sarl $31, %eax // 3 bytes
with this patch the backend now generates:
andl $1, %eax // 3 bytes
negl %eax // 2 bytes
Not only is this smaller in size, but microbenchmarking confirms
that it's a performance win on both Intel and AMD; Intel sees only a
2% improvement (perhaps just a size effect), but AMD sees a 7% win.
This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with make bootstrap
and make -k check, both with and without --target_board=unix{-m32}
with no new failures. Ok for mainline?
