[X86] X86DAGToDAGISel::matchBitExtract(): extract 'lshr' from `X`
Summary: As discussed in previous review, and noted in the FIXME, if `X` is actually an `lshr Y, Z` (logical!), we can fold the `Z` into 'control`, and let the `BEXTR` do this too. We could just insert those 8 bits of shift amount into control, but it is better to instead zero-extend them, and 'or' them in place. We can only do this for `lshr`, not `ashr`, because we do not know that the mask cover only the bits of `Y`, and not any of the sign-extended bits. The obvious question is, is this actually legal to do? I believe it is. Relevant quotes, from `Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual`, `BEXTR — Bit Field Extract`: * `Bit 7:0 of the second source operand specifies the starting bit position of bit extraction.` * `A START value exceeding the operand size will not extract any bits from the second source operand.` * `Only bit positions up to (OperandSize -1) of the first source operand are extracted.` * `All higher order bits in the destination operand (starting at bit position LENGTH) are zeroed.` * `The destination register is cleared if no bits are extracted.` FIXME: if we can do this, i wonder if we should prefer `BEXTR` over `BZHI` in such cases.
