MCRelaxableFragment previously kept a copy of MCSubtargetInfo and
MCInst to enable re-encoding the MCInst later during relaxation. A copy
of MCSubtargetInfo (instead of a reference or pointer) was needed
because the feature bits could be modified by the parser.
This commit replaces the MCSubtargetInfo copy in MCRelaxableFragment
with a constant reference to MCSubtargetInfo. The copies of
MCSubtargetInfo are kept in MCContext, and the target parsers are now
responsible for asking MCContext to provide a copy whenever the feature
bits of MCSubtargetInfo have to be toggled.
With this patch, I saw a 4% reduction in peak memory usage when I
compiled verify-uselistorder.lto.bc using llc.

Summary:
This is the first patch in the series to migrate Triple's (which are ambiguous)
to TargetTuple's (which aren't).
For the moment, TargetTuple simply passes all requests to the Triple object it
holds. Once it has replaced Triple, it will start to implement the interface in
a more suitable way.
This change makes some changes to the public C++ API. In particular,
InitMCSubtargetInfo(), createMCRelocationInfo(), and createMCSymbolizer()
now take TargetTuples instead of Triples. The other public C++ API's have
been left as-is for the moment to reduce patch size.
This commit also contains a trivial patch to clang to account for the C++ API
change. Thanks go to Pavel Labath for fixing LLDB for me.

The mftb instruction was incorrectly marked as deprecated in the PPC
Backend. Instead, it should not be treated as deprecated, but rather be
implemented using the mfspr instruction. A similar patch was put into GCC last
year. Details can be found at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-11/msg00383.html.
This change will replace instances of the mftb instruction with the mfspr
instruction for all CPUs except 601 and pwr3. This will also be the default
behaviour.

Previously, subtarget features were a bitfield with the underlying type being uint64_t.
Since several targets (X86 and ARM, in particular) have hit or were very close to hitting this bound, switching the features to use a bitset.
No functional change.
The first several times this was committed (e.g. r229831, r233055), it caused several buildbot failures.
Apparently the reason for most failures was both clang and gcc's inability to deal with large numbers (> 10K) of bitset constructor calls in tablegen-generated initializers of instruction info tables.
This should now be fixed.

This patch adds support for the ISA 2.07 additions involving the
branch history rolling buffer and event-based branching. These will
not be used by typical applications, so built-in support is not
required. They will only be available via inline assembly.
Assembly/disassembly tests are included in the patch.

Add assembler/disassembler support for dcbt/dcbtst (and aliases) with the hint
field specified (non-zero). Unforunately, the syntax for this instruction is
special in that it differs for server vs. embedded cores:
dcbt ra, rb, th [server]
dcbt th, ra, rb [embedded]
where th can be omitted when it is 0. dcbtst is the same. Thus we need to play
games in the parser and the printer to flip the operands around on the embedded
cores. We'll use the server syntax as the default (binutils currently uses the
embedded form by default, but IBM is changing that).
We also stop marking dcbtst as having unmodeled side effects (this is not
necessary, it is just a hint like dcbt -- noticed by inspection, so no separate
test case).

The asm syntax for the 32-bit rotate-and-mask instructions can take a 32-bit
bitmask instead of an (mb, me) pair. This syntax is not specified in the Power
ISA manual, but is accepted by GNU as, and is documented in IBM's Assembler
Language Reference. The GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (gmp)
contains assembly that uses this syntax.
To implement this, I moved the isRunOfOnes utility function from
PPCISelDAGToDAG.cpp to PPCMCTargetDesc.h.

This patch adds Hardware Transaction Memory (HTM) support supported by ISA 2.07
(POWER8). The intrinsic support is based on GCC one [1], but currently only the
'PowerPC HTM Low Level Built-in Function' are implemented.
The HTM instructions follows the RC ones and the transaction initiation result
is set on RC0 (with exception of tcheck). Currently approach is to create a
register copy from CR0 to GPR and comapring. Although this is suboptimal, since
the branch could be taken directly by comparing the CR0 value, it generates code
correctly on both test and branch and just return value. A possible future
optimization could be elimitate the MFCR instruction to branch directly.
The HTM usage requires a recently newer kernel with PPC HTM enabled. Tested on
powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This is send along a clang patch to enabled the builtins and option switch.

This adds support for the QPX vector instruction set, which is used by the
enhanced A2 cores on the IBM BG/Q supercomputers. QPX vectors are 256 bytes
wide, holding 4 double-precision floating-point values. Boolean values, modeled
here as <4 x i1> are actually also represented as floating-point values
(essentially { -1, 1 } for { false, true }). QPX shares many features with
Altivec and VSX, but is distinct from both of them. One major difference is
that, instead of adding completely-separate vector registers, QPX vector
registers are extensions of the scalar floating-point registers (lane 0 is the
corresponding scalar floating-point value). The operations supported on QPX
vectors mirrors that supported on the scalar floating-point values (with some
additional ones for permutations and logical/comparison operations).
I've been maintaining this support out-of-tree, as part of the bgclang project,
for several years. This is not the entire bgclang patch set, but is most of the
subset that can be cleanly integrated into LLVM proper at this time. Adding
this to the LLVM backend is part of my efforts to rebase bgclang to the current
LLVM trunk, but is independently useful (especially for codes that use LLVM as
a JIT in library form).
The assembler/disassembler test coverage is complete. The CodeGen test coverage
is not, but I've included some tests, and more will be added as follow-up work.

ARM in particular is getting dangerously close to exceeding 32 bits worth of
possible subtarget features. When this happens, various parts of MC start to
fail inexplicably as masks get truncated to "unsigned".
Mostly just refactoring at present, and there's probably no way to test.

A second binutils feature needed to support ELFv2 is the .localentry
directive. In the ELFv2 ABI, functions may have two entry points:
one for calling the routine locally via "bl", and one for calling the
function via function pointer (either at the source level, or implicitly
via a PLT stub for global calls). The two entry points share a single
ELF symbol, where the ELF symbol address identifies the global entry
point address, while the local entry point is found by adding a delta
offset to the symbol address. That offset is encoded into three
platform-specific bits of the ELF symbol st_other field.
The .localentry directive instructs the assembler to set those fields
to encode a particular offset. This is typically used by a function
prologue sequence like this:
func:
addis r2, r12, (.TOC.-func)@ha
addi r2, r2, (.TOC.-func)@l
.localentry func, .-func
Note that according to the ABI, when calling the global entry point,
r12 must be set to point the global entry point address itself; while
when calling the local entry point, r2 must be set to point to the TOC
base. The two instructions between the global and local entry point in
the above example translate the first requirement into the second.
This patch implements support in the PowerPC MC streamers to emit the
.localentry directive (both into assembler and ELF object output), as
well as support in the assembler parser to parse that directive.
In addition, there is another change required in MC fixup/relocation
handling to properly deal with relocations targeting function symbols
with two entry points: When the target function is known local, the MC
layer would immediately handle the fixup by inserting the target
address -- this is wrong, since the call may need to go to the local
entry point instead. The GNU assembler handles this case by *not*
directly resolving fixups targeting functions with two entry points,
but always emits the relocation and relies on the linker to handle
this case correctly. This patch changes LLVM MC to do the same (this
is done via the processFixupValue routine).
Similarly, there are cases where the assembler would normally emit a
relocation, but "simplify" it to a relocation targeting a *section*
instead of the actual symbol. For the same reason as above, this
may be wrong when the target symbol has two entry points. The GNU
assembler again handles this case by not performing this simplification
in that case, but leaving the relocation targeting the full symbol,
which is then resolved by the linker. This patch changes LLVM MC
to do the same (via the needsRelocateWithSymbol routine).
NOTE: The method used in this patch is overly pessimistic, since the
needsRelocateWithSymbol routine currently does not have access to the
actual target symbol, and thus must always assume that it might have
two entry points. This will be improved upon by a follow-on patch
that modifies common code to pass the target symbol when calling
needsRelocateWithSymbol.

ELFv2 binaries are marked by a bit in the ELF header e_flags field.
A new assembler directive .abiversion can be used to set that flag.
This patch implements support in the PowerPC MC streamers to emit the

I saw at least a memory leak or two from inspection (on probably
untested error paths) and r206991, which was the original inspiration
for this change.
I ran this idea by Jim Grosbach a few weeks ago & he was OK with it.

We had stored both f64 values and v2f64, etc. values in the VSX registers. This
worked, but was suboptimal because we would always spill 16-byte values even
through we almost always had scalar 8-byte values. This resulted in an
increase in stack-size use, extra memory bandwidth, etc. To fix this, I've
added 64-bit subregisters of the Altivec registers, and combined those with the
existing scalar floating-point registers to form a class of VSX scalar
floating-point registers. The ABI code has also been enhanced to use this
register class and some other necessary improvements have been made.
llvm-svn: 205075
VSX is an ISA extension supported on the POWER7 and later cores that enhances
floating-point vector and scalar capabilities. Among other things, this adds
<2 x double> support and generally helps to reduce register pressure.
The interesting part of this ISA feature is the register configuration: there
are 64 new 128-bit vector registers, the 32 of which are super-registers of the
existing 32 scalar floating-point registers, and the second 32 of which overlap
with the 32 Altivec vector registers. This makes things like vector insertion
and extraction tricky: this can be free but only if we force a restriction to
the right register subclass when needed. A new "minipass" PPCVSXCopy takes care
of this (although it could do a more-optimal job of it; see the comment about
unnecessary copies below).
Please note that, currently, VSX is not enabled by default when targeting
anything because it is not yet ready for that. The assembler and disassembler
are fully implemented and tested. However:
- CodeGen support causes miscompiles; test-suite runtime failures:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/distray/distray
MultiSource/Benchmarks/McCat/08-main/main
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Olden/voronoi/voronoi
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mafft/pairlocalalign
MultiSource/Benchmarks/tramp3d-v4/tramp3d-v4
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/almabench
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/matmul_f64_4x4
- The lowering currently falls back to using Altivec instructions far more
than it should. Worse, there are some things that are scalarized through the
stack that shouldn't be.
- A lot of unnecessary copies make it past the optimizers, and this needs to
be fixed.
- Many more regression tests are needed.
Normally, I'd fix these things prior to committing, but there are some
students and other contributors who would like to work this, and so it makes
sense to move this development process upstream where it can be subject to the
regular code-review procedures.
