This is the groundwork for Armv8.2-A FP16 code generation .
Clang passes and returns _Float16 values as floats, together with the required
bitconverts and truncs etc. to implement correct AAPCS behaviour, see D42318.
We will implement half-precision argument passing/returning lowering in the ARM
backend soon, but for now this means that this:
_Float16 sub(_Float16 a, _Float16 b) {
return a + b;
}
gets lowered to this:
define float @sub(float %a.coerce, float %b.coerce) {
entry:
%0 = bitcast float %a.coerce to i32
%tmp.0.extract.trunc = trunc i32 %0 to i16
%1 = bitcast i16 %tmp.0.extract.trunc to half
<SNIP>
%add = fadd half %1, %3
<SNIP>
}
When FullFP16 is *not* supported, we don't make f16 a legal type, and we get
legalization for "free", i.e. nothing changes and everything works as before.
And also f16 argument passing/returning is handled.
When FullFP16 is supported, we do make f16 a legal type, and have 2 places that
we need to patch up: f16 argument passing and returning, which involves minor
tweaks to avoid unnecessary code generation for some bitcasts.
As a "demonstrator" that this works for the different FP16, FullFP16, softfp
modes, etc., I've added match rules to the VSUB instruction description showing
that we can codegen this instruction from IR, but more importantly, also to
some conversion instructions. These conversions were causing issue before in
the FP16 and FullFP16 cases.
I've also added match rules to the VLDRH and VSTRH desriptions, so that we can
actually compile the entire half-precision sub code example above. This showed
that these loads and stores had the wrong addressing mode specified: AddrMode5
instead of AddrMode5FP16, which turned out not be implemented at all, so that
has also been added.
This is the minimal patch that shows all the different moving parts. In patch
2/3 I will add some efficient lowering of bitcasts, and in 2/3 I will add the
remaining Armv8.2-A FP16 instruction descriptions.
Thanks to Sam Parker and Oliver Stannard for their help and reviews!

In RWPI code, globals that are not read-only are accessed relative to
the SB register (R9). This is achieved by explicitly generating an ADD
instruction between SB and an offset that we either load from a constant
pool or movw + movt into a register.

In the ROPI relocation model, read-only variables are accessed relative
to the PC. We use the (MOV|LDRLIT)_ga_pcrel pseudoinstructions for this.

Support the selection of G_GLOBAL_VALUE in the PIC relocation model. For
simplicity we use the same pseudoinstructions for both Darwin and ELF:
(MOV|LDRLIT)_ga_pcrel(_ldr).
This is new for ELF, so it requires a small update to the ARM pseudo
expansion pass to make sure it adds the correct constant pool modifier
and add-current-address in the case of ELF.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D36507
llvm-svn: 311992
Add support in the instruction selector for G_GLOBAL_VALUE for ELF and
MachO for the static relocation model. We don't handle Windows yet
because that's Thumb-only, and we don't handle Thumb in general at the
moment.
Support for PIC, ROPI, RWPI and TLS will be added in subsequent commits.

Lowering mixed struct args, params and returns used G_INSERT, which is a
bit more convoluted to support through the entire pipeline. Since they
don't occur that often in practice, it's probably wiser to leave them
out until later.
Meanwhile, we can lower homogeneous structs using G_MERGE_VALUES, which
has good support in the legalizer. These occur e.g. as the return of
__aeabi_idivmod, so it's nice to be able to support them.

Very very similar to the support for arrays. As with arrays, we don't
support returning large structs that wouldn't fit in R0-R3. Most
front-ends would likely use sret arguments for that anyway.
The only significant difference is that when splitting a struct, we need
to make sure we set the correct original alignment on each member,
otherwise it may get split incorrectly between stack and registers.
llvm-svn: 304536
Clang coerces structs into arrays, so it's a good idea to support them.
Most of the support boils down to getting the splitToValueTypes helper
to actually split types. We then use G_INSERT/G_EXTRACT to deal with the
parts.
llvm-svn: 304132
The condition in isSupportedType didn't handle struct/array arguments
properly. Fix the check and add a test to make sure we use the fallback
path in this kind of situation. The test deals with some common cases
where the call lowering should error out. There are still some issues
here that need to be addressed (tail calls come to mind), but they can
be addressed in other patches.
