With many thanks to H.J. for doing all the hard work, this patch resolves two P1 regressions; PR target/106933 and PR target/106959. Although superficially similar, the i386 backend's two scalar-to-vector (STV) passes perform their transformations in importantly different ways. The original pass converting SImode and DImode operations to V4SImode or V2DImode operations is "soft", allowing values to be maintained in both integer and vector hard registers. The newer pass converting TImode operations to V1TImode is "hard" (all or nothing) that converts all uses of a pseudo to vector form. To implement this it invokes powerful ju-ju calling SET_MODE on a reg_rtx, which due to RTL sharing, often updates this pseudo's mode everywhere in the RTL chain. Hence, TImode STV can only be performed when all uses of a pseudo are convertible to V1TImode form. To ensure this the STV passes currently use data-flow analysis to inspect all DEFs and USEs in a chain. This works fine for chains that are in the usual single assignment form, but the occurrence of uninitialized variables, or multiple assignments that split a pseudo's usage into several independent chains (lifetimes) can lead to situations where some but not all of a pseudo's occurrences need to be updated. This is safe for the SImode/DImode pass, but leads to the above bugs during the TImode pass. My one minor tweak to HJ's patch from comment #4 of bugzilla PR106959 is to only perform the new single_def_chain_p check for TImode STV; it turns out that STV of SImode/DImode min/max operates safely on multiple-def chains, and prohibiting this leads to testsuite regressions. We don't (yet) support V1TImode min/max, so this idiom isn't an issue during the TImode STV pass. For the record, the two alternate possible fixes are (i) make the TImode STV pass "soft", by eliminating use of SET_MODE, instead using replace_rtx with a new pseudo, or (ii) merging "chains" so that multiple DFA chains/lifetimes are considered a single STV chain. 2022-12-23 H.J.
