soft float mode. Before this patch alignment was 8 and this
patch changes it to 4.

Chapter 3 of the QPX manual states that, "Scalar floating-point load
instructions, defined in the Power ISA, cause a replication of the source data
across all elements of the target register." Thus, if we have a load followed
by a QPX splat (from the first lane), the splat is redundant. This adds a late
MI-level pass to remove the redundant splats in some of these cases
(specifically when both occur in the same basic block).
This optimization is scheduled just prior to post-RA scheduling. It can't happen
before anything that might replace the load with some already-computed quantity
(i.e. store-to-load forwarding).

This patch is part of the work to make PPCLoopDataPrefetch
target-independent
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/92758).
Obviously the pass still only used from PPC at this point. Subsequent
patches will start driving this from ARM64 as well.
Due to the previous patch most lines should show up as moved lines.

If some commits are happy, and some commits are sad, this is a sad commit. It
is sad because it restricts instruction scheduling to work around a binutils
linker bug, and moreover, one that may never be fixed. On 2012-05-21, GCC was
updated not to produce code triggering this bug, and now we'll do the same...
When resolving an address using the ELF ABI TOC pointer, two relocations are
generally required: one for the high part and one for the low part. Only
the high part generally explicitly depends on r2 (the TOC pointer). And, so,
we might produce code like this:
.Ltmp526:
addis 3, 2, .LC12@toc@ha
.Ltmp1628:
std 2, 40(1)
ld 5, 0(27)
ld 2, 8(27)
ld 11, 16(27)
ld 3, .LC12@toc@l(3)
rldicl 4, 4, 0, 32
mtctr 5
bctrl
ld 2, 40(1)
And there is nothing wrong with this code, as such, but there is a linker bug
in binutils (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18414) that will
misoptimize this code sequence to this:
nop
std r2,40(r1)
ld r5,0(r27)
ld r2,8(r27)
ld r11,16(r27)
ld r3,-32472(r2)
clrldi r4,r4,32
mtctr r5
bctrl
ld r2,40(r1)
because the linker does not know (and does not check) that the value in r2
changed in between the instruction using the .LC12@toc@ha (TOC-relative)
relocation and the instruction using the .LC12@toc@l(3) relocation.
Because it finds these instructions using the relocations (and not by
scanning the instructions), it has been asserted that there is no good way
to detect the change of r2 in between. As a result, this bug may never be
fixed (i.e. it may become part of the definition of the ABI). GCC was
updated to add extra dependencies on r2 to instructions using the @toc@l
relocations to avoid this problem, and we'll do the same here.
This is done as a separate pass because:
1. These extra r2 dependencies are not really properties of the
instructions, but rather due to a linker bug, and maybe one day we'll be
able to get rid of them when targeting linkers without this bug (and,
thus, keeping the logic centralized here will make that
straightforward).
2. There are ISel-level peephole optimizations that propagate the @toc@l
relocations to some user instructions, and so the exta dependencies do
not apply only to a fixed set of instructions (without undesirable
definition replication).
The test case was reduced with the help of bugpoint, with minimal cleaning. I'm
looking forward to our upcoming MI serialization support, and with that, much
better tests can be created.
llvm-svn: 237556
This patch adds a new SSA MI pass that runs on little-endian PPC64
code with VSX enabled. Loads and stores of 4x32 and 2x64 vectors
without alignment constraints are accomplished for little-endian using
lxvd2x/xxswapd and xxswapd/stxvd2x. The existence of the additional
xxswapd instructions hurts performance in comparison with big-endian
code, but they are necessary in the general case to support correct
semantics.
However, the general case does not apply to most vector code. Many
vector instructions are lane-insensitive; they do not "care" which
lanes the parallel computations are performed within, provided that
the resulting data is stored into the correct locations. Thus this
pass looks for computations that perform only lane-insensitive
operations, and remove the unnecessary swaps from loads and stores in
such computations.
Future improvements will allow computations using certain
lane-sensitive operations to also be optimized in this manner, by
modifying the lane-sensitive operations to account for the permuted
order of the lanes. However, this patch only adds the infrastructure
to permit this; no lane-sensitive operations are optimized at this
time.
This code is heavily exercised by the various vectorizing applications
in the projects/test-suite tree. For the time being, I have only added
one simple test case to demonstrate what the pass is doing. Although
it is quite simple, it provides coverage for much of the code,
including the special case handling of copies and subreg-to-reg
operations feeding the swaps. I plan to add additional tests in the
future as I fill in more of the "special handling" code.
Two existing tests were affected, because they expected the swaps to
be present, but they are now removed.

The IBM BG/Q supercomputer's A2 cores have a hardware prefetching unit, the
L1P, but it does not prefetch directly into the A2's L1 cache. Instead, it
prefetches into its own L1P buffer, and the latency to access that buffer is
significantly higher than that to the L1 cache (although smaller than the
latency to the L2 cache). As a result, especially when multiple hardware
threads are not actively busy, explicitly prefetching data into the L1 cache is
advantageous.
I've been using this pass out-of-tree for data prefetching on the BG/Q for well
over a year, and it has worked quite well. It is enabled by default only for
the BG/Q, but can be enabled for other cores as well via a command-line option.
Eventually, we might want to add some TTI interfaces and move this into
Transforms/Scalar (there is nothing particularly target dependent about it,
although only machines like the BG/Q will benefit from its simplistic
strategy).
llvm-svn: 229966
See full discussion in http://reviews.llvm.org/D7491.
We now hide the add-immediate and call instructions together in a
separate pseudo-op, which is tagged to define GPR3 and clobber the
call-killed registers. The PPCTLSDynamicCall pass prior to RA now
expands this op into the two separate addi and call ops, with explicit
definitions of GPR3 on both instructions, and explicit clobbers on the
call instruction. The pass is now marked as requiring and preserving
the LiveIntervals and SlotIndexes analyses, and fixes these up after
the replacement sequences are introduced.
Self-hosting has been verified on LE P8 and BE P7 with various
optimization levels, etc. It has also been verified with the
--no-tls-optimize flag workaround removed.
llvm-svn: 228725
Unfortunately, even with the workaround of disabling the linker TLS
optimizations in Clang restored (which has already been done), this still
breaks self-hosting on my P7 machine (-O3 -DNDEBUG -mcpu=native).
Bill is currently working on an alternate implementation to address the TLS
issue in a way that also fully elides the linker bug (which, unfortunately,
this approach did not fully), so I'm reverting this now.
llvm-svn: 228460
PowerPC supports pre-increment load/store instructions (except for Altivec/VSX
vector load/stores). Using these on embedded cores can be very important, but
most loops are not naturally set up to use them. We can often change that,
however, by placing loops into a non-canonical form. Generically, this means
transforming loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
array[i] = c;
to look like this:
T *p = array[-1];
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
*++p = c;
the key point is that addresses accessed are pulled into dedicated PHIs and
"pre-decremented" in the loop preheader. This allows the use of pre-increment
load/store instructions without loop peeling.
A target-specific late IR-level pass (running post-LSR), PPCLoopPreIncPrep, is
introduced to perform this transformation. I've used this code out-of-tree for
generating code for the PPC A2 for over a year. Somewhat to my surprise,
running the test suite + externals on a P7 with this transformation enabled
showed no performance regressions, and one speedup:
External/SPEC/CINT2006/483.xalancbmk/483.xalancbmk
-2.32514% +/- 1.03736%
So I'm going to enable it on everything for now. I was surprised by this
because, on the POWER cores, these pre-increment load/store instructions are
cracked (and, thus, harder to schedule effectively). But seeing no regressions,
and feeling that it is generally easier to split instructions apart late than
it is to combine them late, this might be the better approach regardless.
In the future, we might want to integrate this functionality into LSR (but
currently LSR does not create new PHI nodes, so (for that and other reasons)
significant work would need to be done).
llvm-svn: 228328
This patch is a third attempt to properly handle the local-dynamic and
global-dynamic TLS models.
In my original implementation, calls to __tls_get_addr were hidden
from view until the asm-printer phase, at which point the underlying
branch-and-link instruction was created with proper relocations. This
mostly worked well, but I used some repellent techniques to ensure
that the TLS_GET_ADDR nodes at the SD and MI levels correctly received
input from GPR3 and produced output into GPR3. This proved to work
badly in the presence of multiple TLS variable accesses, with the
copies to and from GPR3 being scheduled incorrectly and generally
creating havoc.
In r221703, I addressed that problem by representing the calls to
__tls_get_addr as true calls during instruction lowering. This had
the advantage of removing all of the bad hacks and relying on the
existing call machinery to properly glue the copies in place. It
looked like this was going to be the right way to go.
However, as a side effect of the recent discovery of problems with
linker optimizations for TLS, we discovered cases of suboptimal code
generation with this strategy. The problem comes when tls_get_addr is
called for the same address, and there is a resulting CSE
opportunity. It turns out that in such cases MachineCSE will common
the addis/addi instructions that set up the input value to
tls_get_addr, but will not common the calls themselves. MachineCSE
does not have any machinery to common idempotent calls. This is
perfectly sensible, since presumably this would be done at the IR
level, and introducing calls in the back end isn't commonplace. In
any case, we end up with two calls to __tls_get_addr when one would
suffice, and that isn't good.
I presumed that the original design would have allowed commoning of
the machine-specific nodes that hid the __tls_get_addr calls, so as
suggested by Ulrich Weigand, I went back to that design and cleaned it
up so that the copies were properly held together by glue
nodes. However, it turned out that this didn't work either...the
presence of copies to physical registers kept the machine-specific
nodes from being commoned also.
All of which leads to the design presented here. This is a return to
the original design, except that no attempt is made to introduce
copies to and from GPR3 during instruction lowering. Virtual registers
are used until prior to register allocation. At that point, a special
pass is run that identifies the machine-specific nodes that hide the
tls_get_addr calls and introduces the copies to and from GPR3 around
them. The register allocator then coalesces these copies away. With
this design, MachineCSE succeeds in commoning tls_get_addr calls where
possible, and we get nice optimal code generation (better than GCC at
the moment, which does not common these calls).
One additional problem must be dealt with: After introducing the
mentions of the physical register GPR3, the aggressive anti-dependence
breaker sees opportunities to improve scheduling by selecting a
different register instead. Flags must be used on the instruction
descriptions to tell the anti-dependence breaker to keep its hands in
its pockets.
One thing missing from the original design was recording a definition
of the link register on the GET_TLS_ADDR nodes. Doing this was found
to be insufficient to force a stack frame to be created, which led to
looping behavior because two different LR values were stored at the
same address. This appears to have been an oversight in
PPCFrameLowering::determineFrameLayout(), which is repaired here.
Because MustSaveLR() returns true for calls to builtin_return_address,
this changed the expected behavior of
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/retaddr2.ll, which now stacks a frame but
formerly did not. I've fixed the test case to reflect this.
There are existing TLS tests to catch regressions; the checks in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/tls-store2.ll proved to be too restrictive in the
face of instruction scheduling with these changes, so I fixed that
up.
I've added a new test case based on the PrettyStackTrace module that
demonstrated the original problem. This checks that we get correct
code generation and that CSE of the calls to __get_tls_addr has taken
place.

The tests for the disassembler were adapted from the encoder tests, and for the
most part, the output from the disassembler matches that encoder-test inputs.
There are some places where more-informative mnemonics could be produced
(notably for the branch instructions), and those cases are noted in the tests
with FIXMEs.
Future work includes:
- Generating more-informative mnemonics when possible (this may also be done
in the printer).
- Remove the dependence on positional "numbered" operand-to-variable mapping
(for both encoding and decoding).
- Internally using 64-bit instruction variants in 64-bit mode (if this turns
out to matter).

I think, in principle, intrinsics_gen may be added explicitly.
That said, it can be added incidentally, since each target already has dependencies to llvm-tblgen.
Almost all source files depend on both CommonTaleGen and intrinsics_gen.
Explicit add_dependencies() have been pruned under lib/Target.

This is the first of many upcoming patches for PowerPC fast
instruction selection support. This patch implements the minimum
necessary for a functional (but extremely limited) FastISel pass. It
allows the table-generated portions of the selector to be created and
used, but in most cases selection will fall back to the DAG selector.
None of the block terminator instructions are implemented yet, and
most interesting instructions require some special handling.
Therefore there aren't any new test cases with this patch. There will
be quite a few tests coming with future patches.
This patch adds the make/CMake support for the new code (including
tablegen -gen-fast-isel) and creates the FastISel object for PPC64 ELF
only. It instantiates the necessary virtual functions
(TargetSelectInstruction, TargetMaterializeConstant,
TargetMaterializeAlloca, tryToFoldLoadIntoMI, and FastLowerArguments),
but of these, only TargetMaterializeConstant contains any useful
implementation. This is present since the table-generated code
requires the ability to materialize integer constants for some
instructions.
This patch has been tested by building and running the
projects/test-suite code with -O0. All tests passed with the
exception of a couple of long-running tests that time out using -O0
code generation.
llvm-svn: 187399
This fixes warning messages observed in the oggenc application test in
projects/test-suite. Special handling is needed for the 64-bit
PowerPC SVR4 ABI when a constant is initialized with a pointer to a
function in a shared library. Because a function address is
implemented as the address of a function descriptor, the use of copy
relocations can lead to problems with initialization. GNU ld
therefore replaces copy relocations with dynamic relocations to be
resolved by the dynamic linker. This means the constant cannot reside
in the read-only data section, but instead belongs in .data.rel.ro,
which is designed for constants containing dynamic relocations.
The implementation creates a class PPC64LinuxTargetObjectFile
inheriting from TargetLoweringObjectFileELF, which behaves like its
parent except to place constants of this sort into .data.rel.ro.
The test case is reduced from the oggenc application.
llvm-svn: 181723
This adds assembler parser support to the PowerPC back end.
The parser will run for any powerpc-*-* and powerpc64-*-* triples,
but was tested only on 64-bit Linux. The supported syntax is
intended to be compatible with the GNU assembler.
The parser does not yet support all PowerPC instructions, but
it does support anything that is generated by LLVM itself.
There is no support for testing restricted instruction sets yet,
i.e. the parser will always accept any instructions it knows,
no matter what feature flags are given.
Instruction operands will be checked for validity and errors
generated. (Error handling in general could still be improved.)
The patch adds a number of test cases to verify instruction
and operand encodings. The tests currently cover all instructions
from the following PowerPC ISA v2.06 Book I facilities:
Branch, Fixed-point, Floating-Point, and Vector.
Note that a number of these instructions are not yet supported
by the back end; they are marked with FIXME.
A number of follow-on check-ins will add extra features. When
they are all included, LLVM passes all tests (including bootstrap)
when using clang -cc1as as the system assembler.
llvm-svn: 181050
This provides a place to add customized operation cost information and
control some other target-specific IR-level transformations.
The only non-trivial logic in this checkin assigns a higher cost to

This pass is derived from the Hexagon HardwareLoops pass. The only significant enhancement over the Hexagon

no longer otherwise used. Also, invalid preheader DebugLoc is not used.

specified in the same file that the library itself is created. This is
more idiomatic for CMake builds, and also allows us to correctly specify
dependencies that are missed due to bugs in the GenLibDeps perl script,
or change from compiler to compiler. On Linux, this returns CMake to
a place where it can relably rebuild several targets of LLVM.
I have tried not to change the dependencies from the ones in the current
auto-generated file. The only places I've really diverged are in places
where I was seeing link failures, and added a dependency. The goal of
this patch is not to start changing the dependencies, merely to move
them into the correct location, and an explicit form that we can control
and change when necessary.
This also removes a serialization point in the build because we don't
have to scan all the libraries before we begin building various tools.
We no longer have a step of the build that regenerates a file inside the
source tree. A few other associated cleanups fall out of this.
This isn't really finished yet though. After talking to dgregor he urged
switching to a single CMake macro to construct libraries with both
sources and dependencies in the arguments. Migrating from the two macros
to that style will be a follow-up patch.
Also, llvm-config is still generated with GenLibDeps.pl, which means it
still has slightly buggy dependencies. The internal CMake
'llvm-config-like' macro uses the correct explicitly specified
dependencies however. A future patch will switch llvm-config generation
(when using CMake) to be based on these deps as well.
This may well break Windows. I'm getting a machine set up now to dig
into any failures there. If anyone can chime in with problems they see
or ideas of how to solve them for Windows, much appreciated.

The first problem to fix is to stop creating synthetic *Table_gen
targets next to all of the LLVM libraries. These had no real effect as
CMake specifies that add_custom_command(OUTPUT ...) directives (what the
'tablegen(...)' stuff expands to) are implicitly added as dependencies
to all the rules in that CMakeLists.txt.
These synthetic rules started to cause problems as we started more and
more heavily using tablegen files from *subdirectories* of the one where
they were generated. Within those directories, the set of tablegen
outputs was still available and so these synthetic rules added them as
dependencies of those subdirectories. However, they were no longer
properly associated with the custom command to generate them. Most of
the time this "just worked" because something would get to the parent
directory first, and run tablegen there. Once run, the files existed and
the build proceeded happily. However, as more and more subdirectories
have started using this, the probability of this failing to happen has
increased. Recently with the MC refactorings, it became quite common for
me when touching a large enough number of targets.
To add insult to injury, several of the backends *tried* to fix this by
adding explicit dependencies back to the parent directory's tablegen
rules, but those dependencies didn't work as expected -- they weren't
forming a linear chain, they were adding another thread in the race.
This patch removes these synthetic rules completely, and adds a much
simpler function to declare explicitly that a collection of tablegen'ed
files are referenced by other libraries. From that, we can add explicit
dependencies from the smaller libraries (such as every architectures
Desc library) on this and correctly form a linear sequence. All of the
backends are updated to use it, sometimes replacing the existing attempt
at adding a dependency, sometimes adding a previously missing dependency
edge.
Please let me know if this causes any problems, but it fixes a rather
persistent and problematic source of build flakiness on our end.

sink the essential target description into MC layer so we can start building

MCRegisterInfo which TargetRegisterInfo is derived from. Changed TableGen to
