            Bug ID: 41983
           Summary: Scheduling info for DIV narrower than 64-bits is wrong
                    on Skylake Server (and I assume Skylake Client too)
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Backend: X86
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: brennan.vincent at gmail.com

LLVM believes that 16, 32, and 64-bit divs on Skylake Server have a latency of
76 cycles and a throughput of one per 11 cycles:

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/d8286e45afd6b6a8d34f3002f884b00e64406857/lib/Target/X86/X86SchedSkylakeServer.td#L141

However, this is only close to accurate for 64-bit divs. Checking any resource
(Agner Fog, uops.info) shows that narrows divs are much faster.

On my own machine (Xeon W-2191B) I wrote a test program which is able to retire
a 32-bit div every 6 cycles, exactly matching Agner Fog's claim.

I don't have a machine to test on but I am guessing all of this is true on
Skylake Client as well.
