Add support for matching 'ordered' and 'unordered' floating point min/max constructs. In LLVM we can express min/max functions as a combination of compare and select. We have support for matching such constructs for integers but not for floating point. In floating point math there is no total order because of the presence of 'NaN'. Therefore, we have to be careful to preserve the original fcmp semantics when interpreting floating point compare select combinations as a minimum or maximum function. The resulting 'ordered/unordered' floating point maximum function has to select the same value as the select/fcmp combination it is based on. ordered_max(x,y) = max(x,y) iff x and y are not NaN, y otherwise unordered_max(x,y) = max(x,y) iff x and y are not NaN, x otherwise ordered_min(x,y) = min(x,y) iff x and y are not NaN, y otherwise unordered_min(x,y) = min(x,y) iff x and y are not NaN, x otherwise This matches the behavior of the underlying select(fcmp(olt/ult/.., L, R), L, R) construct. Any code using this predicate has to preserve this semantics. A follow-up patch will use this to implement floating point min/max reductions in the vectorizer. radar://13723044 git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@181143 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
