in-tree implementations of TargetLoweringBase::isFMAFasterThanMulAndAdd in
order to resolve the following issues with fmuladd (i.e. optional FMA)
intrinsics:
1. On X86(-64) targets, ISD::FMA nodes are formed when lowering fmuladd
intrinsics even if the subtarget does not support FMA instructions, leading
to laughably bad code generation in some situations.
2. On AArch64 targets, ISD::FMA nodes are formed for operations on fp128,
resulting in a call to a software fp128 FMA implementation.
3. On PowerPC targets, FMAs are not generated from fmuladd intrinsics on types
like v2f32, v8f32, v4f64, etc., even though they promote, split, scalarize,
etc. to types that support hardware FMAs.
The function has also been slightly renamed for consistency and to force a
merge/build conflict for any out-of-tree target implementing it. To resolve,
see comments and fixed in-tree examples.

When accessing just a single CR register, it is always preferable to
use mfocrf instead of mfcr, if the former is available on the CPU.
Current code makes that distinction in many, but not all places
where a single CR register value is retrieved. One missing
location is PPCRegisterInfo::lowerCRSpilling.
To fix this and make this simpler in the future, this patch changes
the bulk of the back-end to always assume mfocrf is available and
simply generate it when needed.
On machines that actually do not support mfocrf, the instruction
is replaced by mfcr at the very end, in EmitInstruction.
This has the additional benefit that we no longer need the
MFCRpseud hack, since before EmitInstruction we always have
a MFOCRF instruction pattern, which already models data flow
as required.
The patch also adds the MFOCRF8 version of the instruction,
which was missing so far.
Except for the PPCRegisterInfo::lowerCRSpilling case, no change
in generated code intended.
llvm-svn: 185556
This is a preparatory patch for fast-isel support. The instruction
selector will need to access some functions in PPCGenCallingConv.inc,
which in turn requires several helper functions to be defined. These
are currently defined near the only use of PCCGenCallingConv.inc,
inside PPCISelLowering.cpp. This patch moves the declaration of the
functions into the associated header file to provide the needed
visibility.
No functional change intended.
llvm-svn: 183844
This is the second part of the change to always return "true"
offset values from getPreIndexedAddressParts, tackling the
case of "memrix" type operands.
This is about instructions like LD/STD that only have a 14-bit
field to encode immediate offsets, which are implicitly extended
by two zero bits by the machine, so that in effect we can access
16-bit offsets as long as they are a multiple of 4.
The PowerPC back end currently handles such instructions by
carrying the 14-bit value (as it will get encoded into the
actual machine instructions) in the machine operand fields
for such instructions. This means that those values are
in fact not the true offset, but rather the offset divided
by 4 (and then truncated to an unsigned 14-bit value).
Like in the case fixed in r182012, this makes common code
operations on such offset values not work as expected.
Furthermore, there doesn't really appear to be any strong
reason why we should encode machine operands this way.
This patch therefore changes the encoding of "memrix" type
machine operands to simply contain the "true" offset value
as a signed immediate value, while enforcing the rules that
it must fit in a 16-bit signed value and must also be a
multiple of 4.
This change must be made simultaneously in all places that
access machine operands of this type. However, just about
all those changes make the code simpler; in many cases we
can now just share the same code for memri and memrix
operands.
llvm-svn: 182032
The old PPCCTRLoops pass, like the Hexagon pass version from which it was
derived, could only handle some simple loops in canonical form. We cannot
directly adapt the new Hexagon hardware loops pass, however, because the
Hexagon pass contains a fundamental assumption that non-constant-trip-count
loops will contain a guard, and this is not always true (the result being that
incorrect negative counts can be generated). With this commit, we replace the
pass with a late IR-level pass which makes use of SE to calculate the
backedge-taken counts and safely generate the loop-count expressions (including
any necessary max() parts). This IR level pass inserts custom intrinsics that
are lowered into the desired decrement-and-branch instructions.
The most fragile part of this new implementation is that interfering uses of
the counter register must be detected on the IR level (and, on PPC, this also
includes any indirect branches in addition to function calls). Also, to make
all of this work, we need a variant of the mtctr instruction that is marked
as having side effects. Without this, machine-code level CSE, DCE, etc.
illegally transform the resulting code. Hopefully, this can be improved
in the future.
This new pass is smaller than the original (and much smaller than the new
Hexagon hardware loops pass), and can handle many additional cases correctly.
In addition, the preheader-creation code has been copied from LoopSimplify, and
after we decide on where it belongs, this code will be refactored so that it
can be explicitly shared (making this implementation even smaller).
The new test-case files ctrloop-{le,lt,ne}.ll have been adapted from tests for
the new Hexagon pass. There are a few classes of loops that this pass does not
transform (noted by FIXMEs in the files), but these deficiencies can be
addressed within the SE infrastructure (thus helping many other passes as well).
llvm-svn: 181927
On cores for which we know the misprediction penalty, and we have
the isel instruction, we can profitably perform early if conversion.
This enables us to replace some small branch sequences with selects
and avoid the potential stalls from mispredicting the branches.
Enabling this feature required implementing canInsertSelect and
insertSelect in PPCInstrInfo; isel code in PPCISelLowering was
refactored to use these functions as well.
llvm-svn: 178926
When unsafe FP math operations are enabled, we can use the fre[s] and
frsqrte[s] instructions, which generate reciprocal (sqrt) estimates, together
with some Newton iteration, in order to quickly generate floating-point
division and sqrt results. All of these instructions are separately optional,
and so each has its own feature flag (except for the Altivec instructions,
which are covered under the existing Altivec flag). Doing this is not only
faster than using the IEEE-compliant fdiv/fsqrt instructions, but allows these
computations to be pipelined with other computations in order to hide their
overall latency.
I've also added a couple of missing fnmsub patterns which turned out to be
missing (but are necessary for good code generation of the Newton iterations).
Altivec needs a similar fix, but that will probably be more complicated because
fneg is expanded for Altivec's v4f32.
llvm-svn: 178617
The P7 and A2 have additional floating-point conversion instructions which
allow a direct two-instruction sequence (plus load/store) to convert from all
combinations (signed/unsigned i32/i64) <--> (float/double) (on previous cores,
only some combinations were directly available).
llvm-svn: 178480
PPCISD::STFIWX is really a memory opcode, and so it should come after
FIRST_TARGET_MEMORY_OPCODE, and we should use DAG.getMemIntrinsicNode to create
nodes using it.
No functionality change intended (although there could be optimization benefits
from preserving the MMO information).
llvm-svn: 178468
This instruction is available on modern PPC64 CPUs, and is now used
to improve the SINT_TO_FP lowering (by eliminating the need for the
separate sign extension instruction and decreasing the amount of
needed stack space).
llvm-svn: 178446
The existing SINT_TO_FP code for i32 -> float/double conversion was disabled
because it relied on broken EXTSW_32/STD_32 instruction definitions. The
original intent had been to enable these 64-bit instructions to be used on CPUs
that support them even in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, this form of lying to
the infrastructure was buggy (as explained in the FIXME comment) and had
therefore been disabled.
This re-enables this functionality, using regular DAG nodes, but only when
compiling in 64-bit mode. The old STD_32/EXTSW_32 definitions (which were dead)
are removed.
llvm-svn: 178438
As part of the the sequence generated to implement long double -> int
conversions, we need to perform an FADD in round-to-zero mode. This is
problematical since the FPSCR is not at all modeled at the SelectionDAG
level, and thus there is a risk of getting floating point instructions
generated out of sequence with the instructions to modify FPSCR.
The current code handles this by somewhat "special" patterns that in part
have dummy operands, and/or duplicate existing instructions, making them
awkward to handle in the asm parser.
This commit changes this by leaving the "FADD in round-to-zero mode"
as an atomic operation on the SelectionDAG level, and only split it up into
real instructions at the MI level (via custom inserter). Since at *this*
level the FPSCR *is* modeled (via the "RM" hard register), much of the
"special" stuff can just go away, and the resulting patterns can be used by
the asm parser.
No significant change in generated code expected.
llvm-svn: 178006
We currently have a duplicated set of call instruction patterns depending
on the ABI to be followed (Darwin vs. Linux). This is a bit odd; while the
different ABIs will result in different instruction sequences, the actual
instructions themselves ought to be independent of the ABI. And in fact it
turns out that the only nontrivial difference between the two sets of
patterns is that in the PPC64 Linux ABI, the instruction used for indirect
calls is marked to take X11 as extra input register (which is indeed used
only with that ABI to hold an incoming environment pointer for nested
functions). However, this does not need to be hard-coded at the .td
pattern level; instead, the C++ code expanding calls can simply add that
use, just like it adds uses for argument registers anyway.
No change in generated code expected.
llvm-svn: 177735
This implements SJLJ lowering on PPC, making the Clang functions
__builtin_{setjmp/longjmp} functional on PPC platforms. The implementation
strategy is similar to that on X86, with the exception that a branch-and-link
variant is used to get the right jump address. Credit goes to Bill Schmidt for
suggesting the use of the unconditional bcl form (instead of the regular bl
instruction) to limit return-address-cache pollution.
Benchmarking the speed at -O3 of:
static jmp_buf env_sigill;
void foo() {
__builtin_longjmp(env_sigill,1);
}
main() {
...
for (int i = 0; i < c; ++i) {
if (__builtin_setjmp(env_sigill)) {
goto done;
} else {
foo();
}
done:;
}
...
}
vs. the same code using the libc setjmp/longjmp functions on a P7 shows that
this builtin implementation is ~4x faster with Altivec enabled and ~7.25x
faster with Altivec disabled. This comparison is somewhat unfair because the
libc version must also save/restore the VSX registers which we don't yet
support.
llvm-svn: 177666
Unaligned access is supported on PPC for non-vector types, and is generally
more efficient than manually expanding the loads and stores.
A few of the existing test cases were using expanded unaligned loads and stores
to test other features (like load/store with update), and for these test cases,
unaligned access remains disabled.

- ISD::SHL/SRL/SRA must have either both scalar or both vector operands
but TLI.getShiftAmountTy() so far only return scalar type. As a
result, backend logic assuming that breaks.
- Rename the original TLI.getShiftAmountTy() to
TLI.getScalarShiftAmountTy() and re-define TLI.getShiftAmountTy() to
return target-specificed scalar type or the same vector type as the
1st operand.
- Fix most TICG logic assuming TLI.getShiftAmountTy() a simple scalar
type.

Large code model is identical to medium code model except that the
addis/addi sequence for "local" accesses is never used. All accesses
use the addis/ld sequence.
The coding changes are straightforward; most of the patch is taken up
with creating variants of the medium model tests for large model.
llvm-svn: 175767
This handles the cases where the 6-bit splat element is odd, converting
to a three-instruction sequence to add or subtract two splats. With this
fix, the XFAIL in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_constants.ll is removed.
llvm-svn: 175663
During lowering of a BUILD_VECTOR, we look for opportunities to use a
vector splat. When the splatted value fits in 5 signed bits, a single
splat does the job. When it doesn't fit in 5 bits but does fit in 6,
and is an even value, we can splat on half the value and add the result
to itself.
This last optimization hasn't been working recently because of improved
constant folding. To circumvent this, create a pseudo VADD_SPLAT that
can be expanded during instruction selection.

for a wider range of GOT entries that can hold thread-relative offsets.
This matches the behavior of GCC, which was not documented in the PPC64 TLS
ABI. The ABI will be updated with the new code sequence.
Former sequence:
ld 9,x@got@tprel(2)
add 9,9,x@tls
New sequence:
addis 9,2,x@got@tprel@ha
ld 9,x@got@tprel@l(9)
add 9,9,x@tls
Note that a linker optimization exists to transform the new sequence into
the shorter sequence when appropriate, by replacing the addis with a nop
and modifying the base register and relocation type of the ld.

PowerPC target. This is the last of the four models, so we now have
full TLS support.
This is mostly a straightforward extension of the general dynamic model.
I had to use an additional Chain operand to tie ADDIS_DTPREL_HA to the
register copy following ADDI_TLSLD_L; otherwise everything above the
ADDIS_DTPREL_HA appeared dead and was removed.
As before, there are new test cases to test the assembly generation, and
the relocations output during integrated assembly. The expected code
gen sequence can be read in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/tls-ld.ll.
There are a couple of things I think can be done more efficiently in the
overall TLS code, so there will likely be a clean-up patch forthcoming;
but for now I want to be sure the functionality is in place.

mention the inline memcpy / memset expansion code is a mess?
This patch split the ZeroOrLdSrc argument into two: IsMemset and ZeroMemset.
The first indicates whether it is expanding a memset or a memcpy / memmove.
The later is whether the memset is a memset of zero. It's totally possible
(likely even) that targets may want to do different things for memcpy and
memset of zero.
llvm-svn: 169959
Also added more comments to explain why it is generally ok to return true.
- Rename getOptimalMemOpType argument IsZeroVal to ZeroOrLdSrc. It's meant to
be true for loaded source (memcpy) or zero constants (memset). The poor name
choice is probably some kind of legacy issue.

Given a thread-local symbol x with global-dynamic access, the generated
code to obtain x's address is:
Instruction Relocation Symbol
addis ra,r2,x@got@tlsgd@ha R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_HA x
addi r3,ra,x@got@tlsgd@l R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_L x
bl __tls_get_addr(x@tlsgd) R_PPC64_TLSGD x
R_PPC64_REL24 __tls_get_addr
nop
<use address in r3>
The implementation borrows from the medium code model work for introducing
special forms of ADDIS and ADDI into the DAG representation. This is made
slightly more complicated by having to introduce a call to the external
function __tls_get_addr. Using the full call machinery is overkill and,
more importantly, makes it difficult to add a special relocation. So I've
introduced another opcode GET_TLS_ADDR to represent the function call, and
surrounded it with register copies to set up the parameter and return value.
Most of the code is pretty straightforward. I ran into one peculiarity
when I introduced a new PPC opcode BL8_NOP_ELF_TLSGD, which is just like
BL8_NOP_ELF except that it takes another parameter to represent the symbol
("x" above) that requires a relocation on the call. Something in the
TblGen machinery causes BL8_NOP_ELF and BL8_NOP_ELF_TLSGD to be treated
identically during the emit phase, so this second operand was never
visited to generate relocations. This is the reason for the slightly
messy workaround in PPCMCCodeEmitter.cpp:getDirectBrEncoding().
Two new tests are included to demonstrate correct external assembly and
correct generation of relocations using the integrated assembler.
Comments welcome!
Thanks,

on 64-bit PowerPC ELF.
The patch includes code to handle external assembly and MC output with the
integrated assembler. It intentionally does not support the "old" JIT.
For the initial-exec TLS model, the ABI requires the following to calculate
the address of external thread-local variable x:
Code sequence Relocation Symbol
ld 9,x@got@tprel(2) R_PPC64_GOT_TPREL16_DS x
add 9,9,x@tls R_PPC64_TLS x
The register 9 is arbitrary here. The linker will replace x@got@tprel
with the offset relative to the thread pointer to the generated GOT
entry for symbol x. It will replace x@tls with the thread-pointer
register (13).
The two test cases verify correct assembly output and relocation output
as just described.
PowerPC-specific selection node variants are added for the two
instructions above: LD_GOT_TPREL and ADD_TLS. These are inserted
when an initial-exec global variable is encountered by
PPCTargetLowering::LowerGlobalTLSAddress(), and later lowered to
machine instructions LDgotTPREL and ADD8TLS. LDgotTPREL is a pseudo
that uses the same LDrs support added for medium code model's LDtocL,
with a different relocation type.
The rest of the processing is straightforward.

The default for 64-bit PowerPC is small code model, in which TOC entries
must be addressable using a 16-bit offset from the TOC pointer. Additionally,
only TOC entries are addressed via the TOC pointer.
With medium code model, TOC entries and data sections can all be addressed
via the TOC pointer using a 32-bit offset. Cooperation with the linker
allows 16-bit offsets to be used when these are sufficient, reducing the
number of extra instructions that need to be executed. Medium code model
also does not generate explicit TOC entries in ".section toc" for variables
that are wholly internal to the compilation unit.
Consider a load of an external 4-byte integer. With small code model, the
compiler generates:
ld 3, .LC1@toc(2)
lwz 4, 0(3)
.section .toc,"aw",@progbits
.LC1:
.tc ei[TC],ei
With medium model, it instead generates:
addis 3, 2, .LC1@toc@ha
ld 3, .LC1@toc@l(3)
lwz 4, 0(3)
.section .toc,"aw",@progbits
.LC1:
.tc ei[TC],ei
Here .LC1@toc@ha is a relocation requesting the upper 16 bits of the
32-bit offset of ei's TOC entry from the TOC base pointer. Similarly,
.LC1@toc@l is a relocation requesting the lower 16 bits. Note that if
the linker determines that ei's TOC entry is within a 16-bit offset of
the TOC base pointer, it will replace the "addis" with a "nop", and
replace the "ld" with the identical "ld" instruction from the small
code model example.
Consider next a load of a function-scope static integer. For small code
model, the compiler generates:
ld 3, .LC1@toc(2)
lwz 4, 0(3)
.section .toc,"aw",@progbits
.LC1:
.tc test_fn_static.si[TC],test_fn_static.si
.type test_fn_static.si,@object
.local test_fn_static.si
.comm test_fn_static.si,4,4
For medium code model, the compiler generates:
addis 3, 2, test_fn_static.si@toc@ha
addi 3, 3, test_fn_static.si@toc@l
lwz 4, 0(3)
.type test_fn_static.si,@object
.local test_fn_static.si
.comm test_fn_static.si,4,4
Again, the linker may replace the "addis" with a "nop", calculating only
a 16-bit offset when this is sufficient.
Note that it would be more efficient for the compiler to generate:
addis 3, 2, test_fn_static.si@toc@ha
lwz 4, test_fn_static.si@toc@l(3)
The current patch does not perform this optimization yet. This will be
addressed as a peephole optimization in a later patch.
For the moment, the default code model for 64-bit PowerPC will remain the
small code model. We plan to eventually change the default to medium code
model, which matches current upstream GCC behavior. Note that the different
code models are ABI-compatible, so code compiled with different models will
be linked and execute correctly.
I've tested the regression suite and the application/benchmark test suite in
two ways: Once with the patch as submitted here, and once with additional
logic to force medium code model as the default. The tests all compile
cleanly, with one exception. The mandel-2 application test fails due to an
unrelated ABI compatibility with passing complex numbers. It just so happens
that small code model was incredibly lucky, in that temporary values in
floating-point registers held the expected values needed by the external
library routine that was called incorrectly. My current thought is to correct
the ABI problems with _Complex before making medium code model the default,
to avoid introducing this "regression."
Here are a few comments on how the patch works, since the selection code
can be difficult to follow:
The existing logic for small code model defines three pseudo-instructions:
LDtoc for most uses, LDtocJTI for jump table addresses, and LDtocCPT for
constant pool addresses. These are expanded by SelectCodeCommon(). The
pseudo-instruction approach doesn't work for medium code model, because
we need to generate two instructions when we match the same pattern.
Instead, new logic in PPCDAGToDAGISel::Select() intercepts the TOC_ENTRY
node for medium code model, and generates an ADDIStocHA followed by either
a LDtocL or an ADDItocL. These new node types correspond naturally to
the sequences described above.
The addis/ld sequence is generated for the following cases:
* Jump table addresses
* Function addresses
* External global variables
* Tentative definitions of global variables (common linkage)
The addis/addi sequence is generated for the following cases:
* Constant pool entries
* File-scope static global variables
* Function-scope static variables
Expanding to the two-instruction sequences at select time exposes the
instructions to subsequent optimization, particularly scheduling.
The rest of the processing occurs at assembly time, in
PPCAsmPrinter::EmitInstruction. Each of the instructions is converted to
a "real" PowerPC instruction. When a TOC entry needs to be created, this
is done here in the same manner as for the existing LDtoc, LDtocJTI, and
LDtocCPT pseudo-instructions (I factored out a new routine to handle this).
I had originally thought that if a TOC entry was needed for LDtocL or
ADDItocL, it would already have been generated for the previous ADDIStocHA.
However, at higher optimization levels, the ADDIStocHA may appear in a
different block, which may be assembled textually following the block
containing the LDtocL or ADDItocL. So it is necessary to include the
possibility of creating a new TOC entry for those two instructions.
Note that for LDtocL, we generate a new form of LD called LDrs. This
allows specifying the @toc@l relocation for the offset field of the LD
instruction (i.e., the offset is replaced by a SymbolLo relocation).
When the peephole optimization described above is added, we will need
to do similar things for all immediate-form load and store operations.
The seven "mcm-n.ll" test cases are kept separate because otherwise the
intermingling of various TOC entries and so forth makes the tests fragile
and hard to understand.
The above assumes use of an external assembler. For use of the
integrated assembler, new relocations are added and used by
PPCELFObjectWriter. Testing is done with "mcm-obj.ll", which tests for
proper generation of the various relocations for the same sequences
tested with the external assembler.

for the PowerPC target, and factoring the results. This will ease future
maintenance of both subtargets.
PPCTargetLowering::LowerCall_Darwin_Or_64SVR4() has grown a lot of special-case
code for the different ABIs, making maintenance difficult. This is getting
worse as we repair errors in the 64-bit ELF ABI implementation, while avoiding
changes to the Darwin ABI logic. This patch splits the routine into
LowerCall_Darwin() and LowerCall_64SVR4(), allowing both versions to be
significantly simplified. I've factored out chunks of similar code where it
made sense to do so. I also performed similar factoring on
LowerFormalArguments_Darwin() and LowerFormalArguments_64SVR4().
There are no functional changes in this patch, and therefore no new test
cases have been developed.

The 32-bit ABI requires CR bit 6 to be set if the call has fp arguments and
unset if it doesn't. The solution up to now was to insert a MachineNode to
set/unset the CR bit, which produces a CR vreg. This vreg was then copied
into CR bit 6. When the register allocator saw a bunch of these in the same
function, it allocated the set/unset CR bit in some random CR register (1
extra instruction) and then emitted CR moves before every vararg function
call, rather than just setting and unsetting CR bit 6 directly before every
vararg function call. This patch instead inserts a PPCcrset/PPCcrunset
instruction which are then matched by a dedicated instruction pattern.

Dynamic linking on PPC64 has had problems since we had to move the top-down
hazard-detection logic post-ra. For dynamic linking to work there needs to be
a nop placed after every call. It turns out that it is really hard to guarantee
that nothing will be placed in between the call (bl) and the nop during post-ra
scheduling. Previous attempts at fixing this by placing logic inside the
hazard detector only partially worked.
This is now fixed in a different way: call+nop codegen-only instructions. As far
as CodeGen is concerned the pair is now a single instruction and cannot be split.
This solution works much better than previous attempts.
The scoreboard hazard detector is also renamed to be more generic, there is currently
no cpu-specific logic in it.

the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.
