(First cleanup pass over the JVM implementation.
The focus is on JVM-JDK interface.)
New JVM interface is minimal and contains intrinsics, well-known
classes, and opcode declarations. It resides in java.base
(jdk.internal.vm.vector.VectorSupport) and exports the interface to
jdk.incubator.vector module.
JVM doesn't need to know about typed vectors anymore: VectorPayload,
VectorMask, and VectorShuffle are enough to represent all interesting
cases and provide enough information to the JVM how to handle vector
classes:
- VectorPayload class represents vector values which are amenable to
aggressive box elimination transformation
* vector on-heap representation remains primitive array-backed;
* classes which extend VectorPayload should declare 2 static
fields (VLENGTH and ETYPE) which describe vector on-heap representation
to the JVM (array length and its element type);
- VectorShuffle and VectorMask mark vector shuffles and masks for the
JVM;
- VectorSpecies and Vector are there to enhance type checking of JVM
intrinsic usages;
Also, additional refactorings/fixes:
* merged reinterpret and cast intrinsics into one (convert)
* refactored rematerialization support
* don't remove unused VectorBoxAllocate nodes, but replace them with
safepoints
* VM vector support is turned off by default, but automatically
enabled when user adds jdk.incubator.vector incubator module to the graph
* multiple minor fixes and cleanups along the way
Testing: jdk/incubator/vector tests
