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.

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/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.

The target specific parser should return `false' if the target AsmParser handles
the directive, and `true' if the generic parser should handle the directive.
Many of the target specific directive handlers would `return Error' which does
not follow these semantics. This change simply changes the target specific
routines to conform to the semantis of the ParseDirective correctly.
Conformance to the semantics improves diagnostics emitted for the invalid
directives. X86 is taken as a sample to ensure that multiple diagnostics are
not presented for a single error.

Use the new instruction deprecation feature to mark mftb (now replaced with
mfspr) and dst (along with the other Altivec cache control instructions) as
deprecated when targeting cores supporting at least ISA v2.03.
llvm-svn: 190605
The 'Deprecated' class allows you to specify a SubtargetFeature that the
instruction is deprecated on.
The 'ComplexDeprecationPredicate' class allows you to define a custom
predicate that is called to check for deprecation.
For example:
ComplexDeprecationPredicate<"MCR">
would mean you would have to define the following function:
bool getMCRDeprecationInfo(MCInst &MI, MCSubtargetInfo &STI,
std::string &Info)
Which returns 'false' for not deprecated, and 'true' for deprecated
and store the warning message in 'Info'.
The MCTargetAsmParser constructor was chaned to take an extra argument of
the MCInstrInfo class, so out-of-tree targets will need to be changed.

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.

The PowerPC assembler is supposed to provide a directive .machine
that allows switching the supported CPU instruction set on the fly.
Since we do not yet check CPU feature sets at all and always accept
any available instruction, this is not really useful at this point.
However, it makes sense to accept (and ignore) ".machine any" to
avoid spuriously rejecting existing assembler files that use this.
llvm-svn: 185924

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.)
llvm-svn: 185858
This adds support for the basic mnemoics (with the L operand) for the
fixed-point compare instructions. These are defined as aliases for the
already existing CMPW/CMPD patterns, depending on the value of L.
This requires use of InstAlias patterns with immediate literal operands.
To make this work, we need two further changes:
- define a RegisterPrefix, because otherwise literals 0 and 1 would
be parsed as literal register names
- provide a PPCAsmParser::validateTargetOperandClass routine to
recognize immediate literals (like ARM does)
llvm-svn: 185826
This adds support for the last missing construct to parse TLS-related
assembler code:
add 3, 4, symbol@tls
The ADD8TLS currently hard-codes the @tls into the assembler string.
This cannot be handled by the asm parser, since @tls is parsed as
a symbol variant. This patch changes ADD8TLS to have the @tls suffix
printed as symbol variant on output too, which allows us to remove
the isCodeGenOnly marker from ADD8TLS. This in turn means that we
can add a AsmOperand to accept @tls marked symbols on input.
As a side effect, this means that the fixup_ppc_tlsreg fixup type
is no longer necessary and can be merged into fixup_ppc_nofixup.
llvm-svn: 185692
This adds support for specifying condition registers and
condition register fields via expressions using the symbols

This patch now adds support for recognizing TLS call sequences in
the asm parser. This needs a new pattern BL8_TLS, which is like
BL8_NOP_TLS except without nop. That pattern is used for the

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.
llvm-svn: 185409
The assembler currently strictly verifies that immediates for
s16imm operands are in range (-32768 ... 32767). This matches
the behaviour of the GNU assembler, with one exception: gas
allows, as a special case, operands in an extended range
(-65536 .. 65535) for the addis instruction only (and its
extended mnemonic lis).
The main reason for this seems to be to allow using unsigned
16-bit operands for lis, e.g. like lis %r1, 0xfedc.
Since this has been supported by gas for a long time, and
assembler source code seen "in the wild" actually exploits
this feature, this patch adds equivalent support to LLVM
for compatibility reasons.
llvm-svn: 184946
This adds support for the predicted forms of branches (+/-).
There are three cases to consider:
- Branches using a PPC::Predicate code
For these, I've added new PPC::Predicate codes corresponding
to the BO values for predicted branch forms, and updated insn
printing to print them correctly. I've also added new aliases
for the asm parser matching the new forms.
- bt/bf
I've added new aliases matching to gBC etc.
- bd(n)z variants
I've added new instruction patterns for the predicted forms.
In all cases, the new patterns are used for the asm parser only.
(The new infrastructure ought to be sufficient to allow use by
the compiler too at some point.)
llvm-svn: 184754
There is currently only limited support for the "absolute" variants
of branch instructions. This patch adds support for the absolute
variants of all branches that are currently otherwise supported.
This requires adding new fixup types so that the correct variant
of relocation type can be selected by the object writer.
While the compiler will continue to usually choose the relative
branch variants, this will allow the asm parser to fully support
the absolute branches, with either immediate (numerical) or
symbolic target addresses.
No change in code generation intended.
llvm-svn: 184721
This adds necessary infrastructure to support the @h modifier.
Note that all required relocation types were already present
(and unused).
This patch provides support for using @h in the assembler;
it would also be possible to now use this feature in code
generated by the compiler, but this is not done yet.
llvm-svn: 184548
This renames more VK_PPC_ enums, to make them more closely reflect
the @modifier string they represent. This also prepares for adding
a bunch of new VK_PPC_ enums in upcoming patches.
For consistency, some MO_ flags related to VK_PPC_ enums are
likewise renamed.
No change in behaviour.
llvm-svn: 184547
This patch adds support for having the assembler optimize fixups
to constructs like "symbol@ha" or "symbol@l" if "symbol" can be
resolved at assembler time.
This optimization is already present in the PPCMCExpr.cpp code
for handling PPC_HA16/PPC_LO16 target expressions. However,
those target expression were used only on Darwin targets.
This patch changes target expression code so that they are
usable also with the GNU assembler (using the @ha / @l syntax
instead of the ha16() / lo16() syntax), and changes the
MCInst lowering code to generate those target expressions
where appropriate.
It also changes the asm parser to generate HA16/LO16 target
expressions when parsing assembler source that uses the
@ha / @l modifiers. The effect is that now the above-
mentioned optimization automatically becomes available
for those situations too.
llvm-svn: 184436
This is the second part of the change to always return "true"
offset values from getPreIndexedAddressParts, tackling the
case of "memrix" type operands.
This is about instructions like LD/STD that only have a 14-bit
field to encode immediate offsets, which are implicitly extended
by two zero bits by the machine, so that in effect we can access
16-bit offsets as long as they are a multiple of 4.
The PowerPC back end currently handles such instructions by
carrying the 14-bit value (as it will get encoded into the
actual machine instructions) in the machine operand fields
for such instructions. This means that those values are
in fact not the true offset, but rather the offset divided
by 4 (and then truncated to an unsigned 14-bit value).
Like in the case fixed in r182012, this makes common code
operations on such offset values not work as expected.
Furthermore, there doesn't really appear to be any strong
reason why we should encode machine operands this way.
This patch therefore changes the encoding of "memrix" type
machine operands to simply contain the "true" offset value
as a signed immediate value, while enforcing the rules that
it must fit in a 16-bit signed value and must also be a
multiple of 4.
This change must be made simultaneously in all places that
access machine operands of this type. However, just about
all those changes make the code simpler; in many cases we
can now just share the same code for memri and memrix
operands.

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.
