My original support for the general dynamic and local dynamic TLS
models contained some fairly obtuse hacks to generate calls to
__tls_get_addr when lowering a TargetGlobalAddress. Rather than
generating real calls, special GET_TLS_ADDR nodes were used to wrap
the calls and only reveal them at assembly time. I attempted to
provide correct parameter and return values by chaining CopyToReg and
CopyFromReg nodes onto the GET_TLS_ADDR nodes, but this was also not
fully correct. Problems were seen with two back-to-back stores to TLS
variables, where the call sequences ended up overlapping with unhappy
results. Additionally, since these weren't real calls, the proper
register side effects of a call were not recorded, so clobbered values
were kept live across the calls.
The proper thing to do is to lower these into calls in the first
place. This is relatively straightforward; see the changes to
PPCTargetLowering::LowerGlobalTLSAddress() in PPCISelLowering.cpp.
The changes here are standard call lowering, except that we need to
track the fact that these calls will require a relocation. This is
done by adding a machine operand flag of MO_TLSLD or MO_TLSGD to the
TargetGlobalAddress operand that appears earlier in the sequence.
The calls to LowerCallTo() eventually find their way to
LowerCall_64SVR4() or LowerCall_32SVR4(), which call FinishCall(),
which calls PrepareCall(). In PrepareCall(), we detect the calls to
__tls_get_addr and immediately snag the TargetGlobalTLSAddress with
the annotated relocation information. This becomes an extra operand
on the call following the callee, which is expected for nodes of type
tlscall. We change the call opcode to CALL_TLS for this case. Back
in FinishCall(), we change it again to CALL_NOP_TLS for 64-bit only,
since we require a TOC-restore nop following the call for the 64-bit
ABIs.
During selection, patterns in PPCInstrInfo.td and PPCInstr64Bit.td
convert the CALL_TLS nodes into BL_TLS nodes, and convert the
CALL_NOP_TLS nodes into BL8_NOP_TLS nodes. This replaces the code
removed from PPCAsmPrinter.cpp, as the BL_TLS or BL8_NOP_TLS
nodes can now be emitted normally using their patterns and the
associated printTLSCall print method.
Finally, as a result of these changes, all references to get-tls-addr
in its various guises are no longer used, so they have been removed.
There are existing TLS tests to verify the changes haven't messed
anything up). I've added one new test that verifies that the problem
with the original code has been fixed.

Since block address values can be larger than 2GB in 64-bit code, they
cannot be loaded simply using an @l / @ha pair, but instead must be
loaded from the TOC, just like GlobalAddress, ConstantPool, and
JumpTable values are.
The commit also fixes a bug in PPCLinuxAsmPrinter::doFinalization where
temporary labels could not be used as TOC values, since code would
attempt (and fail) to use GetOrCreateSymbol to create a symbol of the
same name as the temporary label.

Inline asm may specify 'U' and 'X' constraints to print a 'u' for an
update-form memory reference, or an 'x' for an indexed-form memory
reference. However, these are really only useful in GCC internal code
generation. In inline asm the operand of the memory constraint is
typically just a register containing the address, so 'U' and 'X' make
no sense.
This patch quietly accepts 'U' and 'X' in inline asm patterns, but
otherwise does nothing. If we ever unexpectedly see a non-register,
we'll assert and sort it out afterwards.
I've added a new test for these constraints; the test case should be
used for other asm-constraints changes down the road.
llvm-svn: 217622
This patch builds upon the two preceding MC changes to implement the
basic ELFv2 function call convention. In the ELFv1 ABI, a "function
descriptor" was associated with every function, pointing to both the
entry address and the related TOC base (and a static chain pointer
for nested functions). Function pointers would actually refer to that
descriptor, and the indirect call sequence needed to load up both entry
address and TOC base.
In the ELFv2 ABI, there are no more function descriptors, and function
pointers simply refer to the (global) entry point of the function code.
Indirect function calls simply branch to that address, after loading it
up into r12 (as required by the ABI rules for a global entry point).
Direct function calls continue to just do a "bl" to the target symbol;
this will be resolved by the linker to the local entry point of the
target function if it is local, and to a PLT stub if it is global.
That PLT stub would then load the (global) entry point address of the
final target into r12 and branch to it. Note that when performing a
local function call, r2 must be set up to point to the current TOC
base: if the target ends up local, the ABI requires that its local
entry point is called with r2 set up; if the target ends up global,
the PLT stub requires that r2 is set up.
This patch implements all LLVM changes to implement that scheme:
- No longer create a function descriptor when emitting a function
definition (in EmitFunctionEntryLabel)
- Emit two entry points *if* the function needs the TOC base (r2)
anywhere (this is done EmitFunctionBodyStart; note that this cannot
be done in EmitFunctionBodyStart because the global entry point
prologue code must be *part* of the function as covered by debug info).
- In order to make use tracking of r2 (as needed above) work correctly,
mark direct function calls as implicitly using r2.
- Implement the ELFv2 indirect function call sequence (no function
descriptors; load target address into r12).
- When creating an ELFv2 object file, emit the .abiversion 2 directive
to tell the linker to create the appropriate version of PLT stubs.

Rafael opened http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19893 to track non-optimal
code generation for forming a function address that is local to the compile
unit. The existing code was treating both local and non-local functions
identically.
This patch fixes the problem by properly identifying local functions and
generating the proper addis/addi code. I also noticed that Rafael's earlier
changes to correct the surrounding code in PPCISelLowering.cpp were also
needed for fast instruction selection in PPCFastISel.cpp, so this patch
fixes that code as well.
The existing test/CodeGen/PowerPC/func-addr.ll is modified to test the new

well.

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.

Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a

This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact

With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

Large code model on PPC64 requires creating and referencing TOC entries when
using the addis/ld form of addressing. This was not being done in all cases.
The changes in this patch to PPCAsmPrinter::EmitInstruction() fix this. Two
test cases are also modified to reflect this requirement.
Fast-isel was not creating correct code for loading floating-point constants
using large code model. This also requires the addis/ld form of addressing.
Previously we were using the addis/lfd shortcut which is only applicable to
medium code model. One test case is modified to reflect this requirement.

This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target.
However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian
code. Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian
built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for
syntax-only testing. Code generation will otherwise be the same as
powerpc64 (big-endian), for now.
The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian
PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a
thing.
The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import
worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
code are generated.

This was unfortunately incorrect, there is is fact another,
serious drawback to using the default VK_TLSLD/VK_TLSGD
variant kinds: using these causes ELFObjectWriter::RelocNeedsGOT
to return true, which in turn causes the ELFObjectWriter to emit
an undefined reference to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
This is a problem on powerpc64, because it uses the TOC instead
of the GOT, and the linker does not provide _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_,
so the symbol remains undefined. This means shared libraries
using TLS built with the integrated assembler are currently
broken.
While the whole RelocNeedsGOT / _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ situation
probably ought to be properly fixed at some point, for now I'm
simply reverting the r185476 commit. Now this in turn exposes
the breakage of handling @tlsgd/@tlsld in the asm parser that
this check-in was originally intended to fix.
To avoid this regression, I'm also adding a different fix for
this problem: while common code now parses @tlsgd as VK_TLSGD,
a special hack in the asm parser translates this code to the
platform-specific VK_PPC_TLSGD that the back-end now expects.
While this is not really pretty, it's self-contained and
shouldn't hurt anything else for now. One the underlying
problem is fixed, this hack can be reverted again.
llvm-svn: 185945
A setting in MCAsmInfo defines the "assembler dialect" to use. This is used
by common code to choose between alternatives in a multi-alternative GNU
inline asm statement like the following:
__asm__ ("{sfe|subfe} %0,%1,%2" : "=r" (out) : "r" (in1), "r" (in2));
The meaning of these dialects is platform specific, and GCC defines those
for PowerPC to use dialect 0 for old-style (POWER) mnemonics and 1 for
new-style (PowerPC) mnemonics, like in the example above.
To be compatible with inline asm used with GCC, LLVM ought to do the same.
Specifically, this means we should always use assembler dialect 1 since
old-style mnemonics really aren't supported on any current platform.
However, the current LLVM back-end uses:
AssemblerDialect = 1; // New-Style mnemonics.
in PPCMCAsmInfoDarwin, and
AssemblerDialect = 0; // Old-Style mnemonics.
in PPCLinuxMCAsmInfo.
The Linux setting really isn't correct, we should be using new-style
mnemonics everywhere. This is changed by this commit.
Unfortunately, the setting of this variable is overloaded in the back-end
to decide whether or not we are on a Darwin target. This is done in
PPCInstPrinter (the "SyntaxVariant" is initialized from the MCAsmInfo
AssemblerDialect setting), and also in PPCMCExpr. Setting AssemblerDialect
to 1 for both Darwin and Linux no longer allows us to make this distinction.
Instead, this patch uses the MCSubtargetInfo passed to createPPCMCInstPrinter
to distinguish Darwin targets, and ignores the SyntaxVariant parameter.
As to PPCMCExpr, this patch adds an explicit isDarwin argument that needs
to be passed in by the caller when creating a target MCExpr. (To do so
this patch implicitly also reverts commit 184441.)

Just as with mfocrf, it is also preferable to use mtocrf instead of
mtcrf when only a single CR register is to be written.
Current code however always emits mtcrf. This probably does not matter
when using an external assembler, since the GNU assembler will in fact
automatically replace mtcrf with mtocrf when possible. It does create
inefficient code with the integrated assembler, however.
To fix this, this patch adds MTOCRF/MTOCRF8 instruction patterns and
uses those instead of MTCRF/MTCRF8 everything. Just as done in the
MFOCRF patch committed as 185556, these patterns will be converted
back to MTCRF if MTOCRF is not available on the machine.
As a side effect, this allows to modify the MTCRF pattern to accept
the full range of mask operands for the benefit of the asm parser.
llvm-svn: 185561
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.

As part of the global-dynamic and local-dynamic TLS sequences, we need
to use a special form of the call instruction:
bl __tls_get_addr(sym@tlsld)
bl __tls_get_addr(sym@tlsgd)
which generates two fixups. The current implementation of this causes
problems with recognizing this form in the asm parser. To fix this,
this patch reworks operand processing for this special form by using
a single operand to hold both __tls_get_addr and sym@tlsld and defining
a print method to output the above form, and an encoding method to
generate the two fixups.
As a side simplification, the patch replaces the two instruction
patterns BL8_NOP_TLSGD and BL8_NOP_TLSLD by a single BL8_NOP_TLS,
since the patterns already operate in an identical fashion (whether
we have a local-dynamic or global-dynamic symbol is already encoded
in the symbol modifier).
No change in code generation intended.
llvm-svn: 185477
The PowerPC-specific modifiers VK_PPC_TLSGD and VK_PPC_TLSLD
correspond exactly to the generic modifiers VK_TLSGD and VK_TLSLD.
This causes some confusion with the asm parser, since VK_PPC_TLSGD
is output as @tlsgd, which is then read back in as VK_TLSGD.
To avoid this confusion, this patch removes the PowerPC-specific
modifiers and uses the generic modifiers throughout. (The only
drawback is that the generic modifiers are printed in upper case
while the usual convention on PowerPC is to use lower-case modifiers.
But this is just a cosmetic issue.)
