> In ARM32, "VSHL (register)" instruction [1] is shared by vector left
> shift and vector right shift, and the condition to distinguish them is
> whether the shift count value is positve or negative. Hence, negation
> operation is needed before conducting vector right shift.
> 
> For vector right shift, the shift count can be a RShiftCntV or a normal
> vector node. Take test case Byte64VectorTests.java [2][3] as an example.
> Note that RShiftCntV is already negated via rules "vsrcntD" and
> "vsrcntX" whereas the normal vector node is NOT, since we don't know
> whether a normal vector node is used as a vector shift count or not.
> This is the root cause for these vector test failures.
> 
> The fix is simple, moving the negation from "vsrcntD|X" to the
> corresponding vector right shift rules.
> 
> Affected rules are vsrlBB_reg and vsraBB_reg. Note that vector shift
> related rules are in form of "vsAABB_CC", where
> 1) AA can be l (left shift), rl (logical right shift) and ra (arithmetic
>   right shift).
> 2) BB can be 8B/16B (byte type), 4S/8S (short type), 2I/4I (int type)
>   and 2L (long type).
> 3) CC can be reg (register case) and immI (immediate case).
> 
> Minor updates:
> 1) Merge "vslcntD" and "vsrcntD" into rule "vscntD", as these two rules
> conduct the same duplication operation now.
> 2) Update the "match" primitive for vsraBB_immI rules.
> 3) Style issue: remove the surrounding space for "ins_pipe" primitive.
> 
> Tests:
> We ran tier 1~3 tests on ARM32 platform. With this patch, previously
> failed vector test cases can pass now without introducing test
> regression.

Hao Sun has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:

  Use is_var_shift() to determmine the location of negation use for right shifts
  
  Method is_var_shift() denotes that vector shift count is a variable
  shift:
  1) for this case, vector shift count should be negated before conducting
     right shifts. E.g., vsrl4S_reg_var rule.
  2) for the opposite case, vector shift count is generated via RShiftCntV
     rules and is already negated there. Hence, no negation is needed.
     E.g., vsrl4S_reg rule.
  
  Besides, it's safe to add "hash()" and "cmp()" methods for ShiftV node.
