[CIR][Lowering] Fix inconditional sign extension on vec.cmp op

[RiverDave]

(Copied from my question on Discord)

I’ve been working on the vector to bit-mask related intrinsics for X86. I’ve been stuck specifically on X86::BI__builtin_ia32_cvtb2mask128(_mm256_movepi16_mask) and its variations with different vector/mask sizes.

In this case, we perform a vector comparison of vector<16xi16> and bitcast the resulting vector<16xi1> directly into a scalar integer mask (i16).

I’m successfully able to lower to cir:

    ...
    %5 = cir.vec.cmp(lt, %3, %4) : !cir.vector<!s16i x 16>, !cir.vector<!cir.int<u, 1> x 16>
    %6 = cir.cast(bitcast, %5 : !cir.vector<!cir.int<u, 1> x 16>), !u16i
    ...

There's an issue arises when lowering this to LLVM, the error message I'm getting is:

error: integer width of the output type is smaller or equal to the integer width of the input type

By looking at the test cases on the llvm dialect, this is related to the sext / zext instruction.

This is the cir → llvm dialect lowered for the latter:

        ...
    %14 = "llvm.icmp"(%12, %13) <{predicate = 2 : i64}> : (vector<16xi16>, vector<16xi16>) -> vector<16xi1>
    %15 = "llvm.sext"(%14) : (vector<16xi1>) -> vector<16xi1>
    %16 = "llvm.bitcast"(%15) : (vector<16xi1>) -> i16
        ...

This is seems to be the cause:

 %15 = "llvm.sext"(%14) : (vector<16xi1>) -> vector<16xi1>

The fix: Added a type check: if the result type does not differ from the expected type, we won't insert a sextOp
