This change enables tracking i1 values in the PowerPC backend using the
condition register bits. These bits can be treated on PowerPC as separate
registers; individual bit operations (and, or, xor, etc.) are supported.
Tracking booleans in CR bits has several advantages:
- Reduction in register pressure (because we no longer need GPRs to store
boolean values).
- Logical operations on booleans can be handled more efficiently; we used to
have to move all results from comparisons into GPRs, perform promoted
logical operations in GPRs, and then move the result back into condition
register bits to be used by conditional branches. This can be very
inefficient, because the throughput of these CR <-> GPR moves have high
latency and low throughput (especially when other associated instructions
are accounted for).
- On the POWER7 and similar cores, we can increase total throughput by using
the CR bits. CR bit operations have a dedicated functional unit.
Most of this is more-or-less mechanical: Adjustments were needed in the
calling-convention code, support was added for spilling/restoring individual
condition-register bits, and conditional branch instruction definitions taking
specific CR bits were added (plus patterns and code for generating bit-level
operations).
This is enabled by default when running at -O2 and higher. For -O0 and -O1,
where the ability to debug is more important, this feature is disabled by
default. Individual CR bits do not have assigned DWARF register numbers,
and storing values in CR bits makes them invisible to the debugger.
It is critical, however, that we don't move i1 values that have been promoted
to larger values (such as those passed as function arguments) into bit
registers only to quickly turn around and move the values back into GPRs (such
as happens when values are returned by functions). A pair of target-specific
DAG combines are added to remove the trunc/extends in:
trunc(binary-ops(binary-ops(zext(x), zext(y)), ...)
and:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
In short, we only want to use CR bits where some of the i1 values come from
comparisons or are used by conditional branches or selects. To put it another
way, if we can do the entire i1 computation in GPRs, then we probably should
(on the POWER7, the GPR-operation throughput is higher, and for all cores, the
CR <-> GPR moves are expensive).

This patch adds fast-isel support for calls (but not intrinsic calls
or varargs calls). It also removes a badly-formed assert. There are
some new tests just for calls, and also for folding loads into
arguments on calls to avoid extra extends.

Incremental improvement to fast-isel for PPC64. This allows us to
select on ret, sext, and zext. Filling in sext/zext improves some of
the existing logic in handling compare-immediates that needed extends.
A simplified return convention for fast-isel is also added to the
PPC64 calling conventions. All call/return processing for DAG
selection is handled with custom code, so there isn't an existing CC
to rely on here. The include of PPCGenCallingConv.inc causes compiler
warnings due to the 32-bit calling conventions that are not used, so
the dummy function "usePPC32CCs()" is added here to silence those.
Test cases for the return and extend logic are added.
llvm-svn: 189266
There are a couple of (small) related changes here:
1. The printed name of the VRSAVE register has been changed from VRsave to
vrsave in order to match the name accepted by GNU binutils.
2. Support for parsing vrsave has been added to the asm parser (it seems that
there was no test case specifically covering this code, so I've added one).
3. The list of Altivec registers, which was common to all calling conventions,
has been separated out. This allows us to define the base CSR lists, and then
lists for each ABI with Altivec included. This allows SjLj, for example, to
work correctly on non-Altivec targets without using unnatural definitions of
the NoRegs CSR list.
4. VRSAVE is now always reserved on non-Darwin targets and all Altivec
registers are reserved when Altivec is disabled.
With these changes, it is now possible to compile a function containing
__builtin_unwind_init() on Linux/PPC64 with debugging information. This did not
work previously because GNU binutils assumes that all .cfi_offset offsets will
be 8-byte aligned on PPC64 (and errors out if you provide a non-8-byte-aligned
offset). This is not true for the vrsave register, however, because this
register is used only on Darwin, GCC does not bother printing a .cfi_offset
entry for it (even though there is a slot in the stack frame for it as
specified by the ABI). This change allows us to do the same: we will also not
print .cfi_offset directives for vrsave.

As Bill Schmidt pointed out to me, only on Darwin do we need to spill/restore
VRSAVE in the SjLj code. For non-Darwin, don't spill/restore VRSAVE (and I've
added some asserts to make sure that we're not).
As it turns out, we're not currently handling the Darwin case correctly (I've
added a FIXME in the test case). I've tried adding various implied register
definitions/uses to force the spill without success, so I'll need to address
this later.

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.

to be extended to a full register. This is modeled in the IR by marking
the return value (or argument) with a signext or zeroext attribute.
However, while these attributes are respected for function arguments,
they are currently ignored for function return values by the PowerPC
back-end. This patch updates PPCCallingConv.td to ask for the promotion
to i64, and fixes LowerReturn and LowerCallResult to implement it.
The new test case verifies that both arguments and return values are
properly extended when passing them; and also that the optimizers
understand incoming argument and return values are in fact guaranteed
by the ABI to be extended.
The patch caused a spurious breakage in CodeGen/PowerPC/coalesce-ext.ll,
since the test case used a "ret" instruction to create a use of an i32
value at the end of the function (to set up data flow as required for
what the test is intended to test). Since there's now an implicit
promotion to i64, that data flow no longer works as expected. To fix
this, this patch now adds an extra "add" to ensure we have an appropriate
use of the i32 value.
