shorter/easier and have the DAG use that to do the same lookup. This
can be used in the future for TargetMachine based caching lookups from
the MachineFunction easily.
Update the MIPS subtarget switching machinery to update this pointer
at the same time it runs.

Just the simple cases for now. There were a few knock-on changes of
MachineBasicBlock *s to MachineBasicBlock &s. No functional change intended.

For some reason I never got around to adding these at the same time as
the signed versions. No idea why.
I'm not sure whether this SystemZII::BranchC* stuff is useful, or whether
it should just be replaced with an "is normal" flag. I'll leave that
for later though.
There are some boundary conditions that can be tweaked, such as preferring
unsigned comparisons for equality with [128, 256), and "<= 255" over "< 256",
but again I'll leave those for a separate patch.
llvm-svn: 190930
This patch just uses a peephole test for "add; compare; branch" sequences
within a single block. The IR optimizers already convert loops to
decrement-and-branch-on-nonzero form in some cases, so even this
simplistic test triggers many times during a clang bootstrap and
projects/test-suite run. It looks like there are still cases where we
need to more strongly prefer branches on nonzero though. E.g. I saw a
case where a loop that started out with a check for 0 ended up with a
check for -1. I'll try to look at that sometime.
I ended up adding the Reference class because MachineInstr::readsRegister()
doesn't check for subregisters (by design, as far as I could tell).

Perhaps predictably, doing comparison elimination on the fly during
SystemZLongBranch turned out to be a bad idea. The next patches make
use of LOAD AND TEST and BRANCH ON COUNT, both of which require
changes to earlier instructions.
No functionality change intended.
llvm-svn: 187718
This also fixes a bug in the predication of LR to LOCR: I'd forgotten
that with these in-place instruction builds, the implicit operands need
to be added manually. I think this was latent until now, but is tested
by int-cmp-45.c. It also adds a CC valid mask to STOC, again tested by
int-cmp-45.c.
llvm-svn: 187573
System z branches have a mask to select which of the 4 CC values should
cause the branch to be taken. We can invert a branch by inverting the mask.
However, not all instructions can produce all 4 CC values, so inverting
the branch like this can lead to some oddities. For example, integer
comparisons only produce a CC of 0 (equal), 1 (less) or 2 (greater).
If an integer EQ is reversed to NE before instruction selection,
the branch will test for 1 or 2. If instead the branch is reversed
after instruction selection (by inverting the mask), it will test for
1, 2 or 3. Both are correct, but the second isn't really canonical.
This patch therefore keeps track of which CC values are possible
and uses this when inverting a mask.
Although this is mostly cosmestic, it fixes undefined behavior
for the CIJNLH in branch-08.ll. Another fix would have been
to mask out bit 0 when generating the fused compare and branch,
but the point of this patch is that we shouldn't need to do that
in the first place.
The patch also makes it easier to reuse CC results from other instructions.
llvm-svn: 187495
r187116 moved compare-and-branch generation from the instruction-selection
pass to the peephole optimizer (via optimizeCompare). It turns out that even
this is a bit too early. Fused compare-and-branch instructions don't
interact well with predication, where a CC result is needed. They also
make it harder to reuse the CC side-effects of earlier instructions
(not yet implemented, but the subject of a later patch).
Another problem was that the AnalyzeBranch family of routines weren't
handling compares and branches, so we weren't able to reverse the fused
form in cases where we would reverse a separate branch. This could have
been fixed by extending AnalyzeBranch, but given the other problems,
I've instead moved the fusing to the long-branch pass, which is also
responsible for the opposite transformation: splitting out-of-range
compares and branches into separate compares and long branches.
I've added a test for the AnalyzeBranch problem. A test for the
predication problem is included in the next patch, which fixes a bug
in the choice of CC mask.
llvm-svn: 187494
This patch adds support for the CRJ and CGRJ instructions. Support for
the immediate forms will be a separate patch.
The architecture has a large number of comparison instructions. I think
it's generally better to concentrate on using the "best" comparison
instruction first and foremost, then only use something like CRJ if
CR really was the natual choice of comparison instruction. The patch
therefore opportunistically converts separate CR and BRC instructions
into a single CRJ while emitting instructions in ISelLowering.
llvm-svn: 182764
The original version of the pass could underestimate the length of a backward
branch in cases like:
alignment to N bytes or more
...
relaxable branch A
...
foo: (aligned to M<N bytes)
...
bar: (aligned to N bytes)
...
relaxable branch B to foo
We don't add any misalignment gap for "bar" because N bytes of alignment
had already been reached earlier in the function. In this case, assuming
that A is relaxed can push "foo" closer to "bar", and make B appear to be
in range. Similar problems can occur for forward branches.
I don't think it's possible to create blocks with mixed alignments as
things stand, not least because we haven't yet defined getPrefLoopAlignment()
for SystemZ (that would need benchmarking). So I don't think we can test
this yet.
Thanks to Rafael Espíndola for spotting the bug.

Before this change, the SystemZ backend would use BRCL for all branches
and only consider shortening them to BRC when generating an object file.
E.g. a branch on equal would use the JGE alias of BRCL in assembly output,
but might be shortened to the JE alias of BRC in ELF output. This was
a useful first step, but it had two problems:
(1) The z assembler isn't traditionally supposed to perform branch shortening
or branch relaxation. We followed this rule by not relaxing branches
in assembler input, but that meant that generating assembly code and
then assembling it would not produce the same result as going directly
to object code; the former would give long branches everywhere, whereas
the latter would use short branches where possible.
(2) Other useful branches, like COMPARE AND BRANCH, do not have long forms.
We would need to do something else before supporting them.
(Although COMPARE AND BRANCH does not change the condition codes,
the plan is to model COMPARE AND BRANCH as a CC-clobbering instruction
during codegen, so that we can safely lower it to a separate compare
and long branch where necessary. This is not a valid transformation
for the assembler proper to make.)
This patch therefore moves branch relaxation to a pre-emit pass.
For now, calls are still shortened from BRASL to BRAS by the assembler,
although this too is not really the traditional behaviour.
The first test takes about 1.5s to run, and there are likely to be
more tests in this vein once further branch types are added. The feeling
on IRC was that 1.5s is a bit much for a single test, so I've restricted
it to SystemZ hosts for now.
The patch exposes (and fixes) some typos in the main CodeGen/SystemZ tests.
A later patch will remove the {{g}}s from that directory.
