Reid Kleckner b518054b87 Rename AttributeSet to AttributeList
Summary:
This class is a list of AttributeSetNodes corresponding the function
prototype of a call or function declaration. This class used to be
called ParamAttrListPtr, then AttrListPtr, then AttributeSet. It is
typically accessed by parameter and return value index, so
"AttributeList" seems like a more intuitive name.

Rename AttributeSetImpl to AttributeListImpl to follow suit.

It's useful to rename this class so that we can rename AttributeSetNode
to AttributeSet later. AttributeSet is the set of attributes that apply
to a single function, argument, or return value.

James Y Knight 148a6469dc Support expanding partial-word cmpxchg to full-word cmpxchg in AtomicExpandPass.
Many CPUs only have the ability to do a 4-byte cmpxchg (or ll/sc), not 1
or 2-byte. For those, you need to mask and shift the 1 or 2 byte values
appropriately to use the 4-byte instruction.

This change adds support for cmpxchg-based instruction sets (only SPARC,
in LLVM). The support can be extended for LL/SC-based PPC and MIPS in
the future, supplanting the ISel expansions those architectures
currently use.

Tests added for the IR transform and SPARCv9.

James Y Knight 19f6cce4e3 Add __atomic_* lowering to AtomicExpandPass.
(Recommit of r266002, with r266011, r266016, and not accidentally
including an extra unused/uninitialized element in LibcallRoutineNames)

AtomicExpandPass can now lower atomic load, atomic store, atomicrmw, and
cmpxchg instructions to __atomic_* library calls, when the target
doesn't support atomics of a given size.

This is the first step towards moving all atomic lowering from clang
into llvm. When all is done, the behavior of __sync_* builtins,
__atomic_* builtins, and C11 atomics will be unified.

Previously LLVM would pass everything through to the ISelLowering
code. There, unsupported atomic instructions would turn into __sync_*
library calls. Because of that behavior, Clang currently avoids emitting
llvm IR atomic instructions when this would happen, and emits __atomic_*
library functions itself, in the frontend.

This change makes LLVM able to emit __atomic_* libcalls, and thus will
eventually allow clang to depend on LLVM to do the right thing.

It is advantageous to do the new lowering to atomic libcalls in
AtomicExpandPass, before ISel time, because it's important that all
atomic operations for a given size either lower to __atomic_*
libcalls (which may use locks), or native instructions which won't. No
mixing and matching.

At the moment, this code is enabled only for SPARC, as a
demonstration. The next commit will expand support to all of the other
targets.

JF Bastien 800f87a871 NFC: make AtomicOrdering an enum class
Summary:
In the context of http://wg21.link/lwg2445 C++ uses the concept of
'stronger' ordering but doesn't define it properly. This should be fixed
in C++17 barring a small question that's still open.

The code currently plays fast and loose with the AtomicOrdering
enum. Using an enum class is one step towards tightening things. I later
also want to tighten related enums, such as clang's
AtomicOrderingKind (which should be shared with LLVM as a 'C++ ABI'
enum).

This change touches a few lines of code which can be improved later, I'd
like to keep it as NFC for now as it's already quite complex. I have
related changes for clang.

As a follow-up I'll add:
  bool operator<(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
  bool operator>(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
  bool operator<=(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
  bool operator>=(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
This is separate so that clang and LLVM changes don't need to be in sync.

Tim Northover d32f8e60bf ARM: sink atomic release barrier as far as possible into cmpxchg.
DMB instructions can be expensive, so it's best to avoid them if possible. In
atomicrmw operations there will always be an attempted store so a release
barrier is always needed, but in the cmpxchg case we can delay the DMB until we
know we'll definitely try to perform a store (and so need release semantics).

In the strong cmpxchg case this isn't quite free: we must duplicate the LDREX
instructions to skip the barrier on subsequent iterations. The basic outline
becomes:

        ldrex rOld, [rAddr]
        cmp rOld, rDesired
        bne Ldone
        dmb
    Lloop:
        strex rRes, rNew, [rAddr]
        cbz rRes Ldone
        ldrex rOld, [rAddr]
        cmp rOld, rDesired
        beq Lloop
    Ldone:

So we'll skip this version for strong operations in "minsize" functions.

Philip Reames 1960cfd323 [IR] Extend cmpxchg to allow pointer type operands
Today, we do not allow cmpxchg operations with pointer arguments. We require the frontend to insert ptrtoint casts and do the cmpxchg in integers. While correct, this is problematic from a couple of perspectives:
1) It makes the IR harder to analyse (for instance, it make capture tracking overly conservative)
2) It pushes work onto the frontend authors for no real gain

This patch implements the simplest form of IR support. As we did with floating point loads and stores, we teach AtomicExpand to convert back to the old representation. This prevents us needing to change all backends in a single lock step change. Over time, we can migrate each backend to natively selecting the pointer type. In the meantime, we get the advantages of a cleaner IR representation without waiting for the backend changes.

Philip Reames 61a24ab6cc [IR] Add support for floating pointer atomic loads and stores
This patch allows atomic loads and stores of floating point to be specified in the IR and adds an adapter to allow them to be lowered via existing backend support for bitcast-to-equivalent-integer idiom.

Previously, the only way to specify a atomic float operation was to bitcast the pointer to a i32, load the value as an i32, then bitcast to a float. At it's most basic, this patch simply moves this expansion step to the point we start lowering to the backend.

This patch does not add canonicalization rules to convert the bitcast idioms to the appropriate atomic loads. I plan to do that in the future, but for now, let's simply add the support. I'd like to get instruction selection working through at least one backend (x86-64) without the bitcast conversion before canonicalizing into this form.

Similarly, I haven't yet added the target hooks to opt out of the lowering step I added to AtomicExpand. I figured it would more sense to add those once at least one backend (x86) was ready to actually opt out.

As you can see from the included tests, the generated code quality is not great. I plan on submitting some patches to fix this, but help from others along that line would be very welcome. I'm not super familiar with the backend and my ramp up time may be material.

JF Bastien e8aad29984 Refactor AtomicExpand::expandAtomicRMWToCmpXchg into a standalone function.
Summary:
This is useful for PNaCl's `RewriteAtomics` pass. NaCl intrinsics don't exist for some of the more exotic RMW instructions, so by refactoring this function into its own, `RewriteAtomics` can share code rewriting those atomics with `AtomicExpand` while additionally saving a few cycles by generating the `cmpxchg` NaCl-specific intrinsic with the callback. Without this patch, `RewriteAtomics` would require two extra passes over functions, by first requiring use of the full `AtomicExpand` pass to just expand the leftover exotic RMWs and then running itself again to expand resulting `cmpxchg`s.

JF Bastien f14889ee34 Mutate TargetLowering::shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR to specifically dictate how AtomicRMWInsts are expanded.
Summary:
In PNaCl, most atomic instructions have their own @llvm.nacl.atomic.* function, each one, with a few exceptions, represents a consistent behaviour across all NaCl-supported targets. Unfortunately, the atomic RMW operations nand, [u]min, and [u]max aren't directly represented by any such @llvm.nacl.atomic.* function. This patch refines shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR in TargetLowering so that a future `Le32TargetLowering` class can selectively inform the caller how the target desires the atomic RMW instruction to be expanded (ie via load-linked/store-conditional for ARM/AArch64, via cmpxchg for X86/others?, or not at all for Mips) if at all.

This does not represent a behavioural change and as such no tests were added.

Robin Morisset 810739d174 Lower idempotent RMWs to fence+load
Summary:
I originally tried doing this specifically for X86 in the backend in D5091,
but it was rather brittle and generally running too late to be general.
Furthermore, other targets may want to implement similar optimizations.
So I reimplemented it at the IR-level, fitting it into AtomicExpandPass
as it interacts with that pass (which could not be cleanly done before
at the backend level).

This optimization relies on a new target hook, which is only used by X86
for now, as the correctness of the optimization on other targets remains
an open question. If it is found correct on other targets, it should be
trivial to enable for them.

Details of the optimization are discussed in D5091.

Robin Morisset dedef3325f Add AtomicExpandPass::bracketInstWithFences, and use it whenever getInsertFencesForAtomic would trigger in SelectionDAGBuilder
Summary:
The goal is to eventually remove all the code related to getInsertFencesForAtomic
in SelectionDAGBuilder as it is wrong (designed for ARM, not really portable, works
mostly by accident because the backends are overly conservative), and repeats the
same logic that goes in emitLeading/TrailingFence.

In this patch, I make AtomicExpandPass insert the fences as it knows better
where to put them. Because this requires getting the fences and not just
passing an IRBuilder around, I had to change the return type of
emitLeading/TrailingFence.
This code only triggers on ARM for now. Because it is earlier in the pipeline
than SelectionDAGBuilder, it triggers and lowers atomic accesses to atomic so
SelectionDAGBuilder does not add barriers anymore on ARM.

If this patch is accepted I plan to implement emitLeading/TrailingFence for all
backends that setInsertFencesForAtomic(true), which will allow both making them
less conservative and simplifying SelectionDAGBuilder once they are all using
this interface.

This should not cause any functionnal change so the existing tests are used
and not modified.

Robin Morisset a47cb411dc Use target-dependent emitLeading/TrailingFence instead of the target-independent insertLeading/TrailingFence (in AtomicExpandPass)
Fixes two latent bugs:
- There was no fence inserted before expanded seq_cst load (unsound on Power)
- There was only a fence release before seq_cst stores (again unsound, in particular on Power)
    It is not even clear if this is correct on ARM swift processors (where release fences are
    DMB ishst instead of DMB ish). This behaviour is currently preserved on ARM Swift
    as it is not clear whether it is incorrect. I would love to get documentation stating
    whether it is correct or not.
These two bugs were not triggered because Power is not (yet) using this pass, and these
behaviours happen to be (mostly?) working on ARM
(although they completely butchered the semantics of the llvm IR).

See:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2014-August/075821.html
for an example of the problems that can be caused by the second of these bugs.

I couldn't see a way of fixing these in a completely target-independent way without
adding lots of unnecessary fences on ARM, hence the target-dependent parts of this
patch.

This patch implements the new target-dependent parts only for ARM (the default
of not doing anything is enough for AArch64), other architectures will use this
infrastructure in later patches.

Robin Morisset 59c23cd946 Rename AtomicExpandLoadLinked into AtomicExpand
AtomicExpandLoadLinked is currently rather ARM-specific. This patch is the first of
a group that aim at making it more target-independent. See
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2014-August/075873.html
for details

The command line option is "atomic-expand"
