This patch adds support for the ISA 2.07 additions involving the
branch history rolling buffer and event-based branching. These will
not be used by typical applications, so built-in support is not
required. They will only be available via inline assembly.
Assembly/disassembly tests are included in the patch.

TableGen had been nicely generating code to print a number of instructions using
shorter aliases (and PowerPC has plenty of short mnemonics), but we were not
calling it. For some of the aliases we support in the parser, TableGen can't
infer the "inverse" alias relationship, so there is still more to do.
Thus, after some hours of updating test cases...

per-function subtarget.
Currently, code-gen passes the default or generic subtarget to the constructors
of MCInstPrinter subclasses (see LLVMTargetMachine::addPassesToEmitFile), which
enables some targets (AArch64, ARM, and X86) to change their instprinter's
behavior based on the subtarget feature bits. Since the backend can now use
different subtargets for each function, instprinter has to be changed to use the
per-function subtarget rather than the default subtarget.
This patch takes the first step towards enabling instprinter to change its
behavior based on the per-function subtarget. It adds a bit "PassSubtarget" to
AsmWriter which tells table-gen to pass a reference to MCSubtargetInfo to the
various print methods table-gen auto-generates.
I will follow up with changes to instprinters of AArch64, ARM, and X86.

This patch adds Hardware Transaction Memory (HTM) support supported by ISA 2.07
(POWER8). The intrinsic support is based on GCC one [1], but currently only the
'PowerPC HTM Low Level Built-in Function' are implemented.
The HTM instructions follows the RC ones and the transaction initiation result
is set on RC0 (with exception of tcheck). Currently approach is to create a
register copy from CR0 to GPR and comapring. Although this is suboptimal, since
the branch could be taken directly by comparing the CR0 value, it generates code
correctly on both test and branch and just return value. A possible future
optimization could be elimitate the MFCR instruction to branch directly.
The HTM usage requires a recently newer kernel with PPC HTM enabled. Tested on
powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This is send along a clang patch to enabled the builtins and option switch.

This adds support for the QPX vector instruction set, which is used by the
enhanced A2 cores on the IBM BG/Q supercomputers. QPX vectors are 256 bytes
wide, holding 4 double-precision floating-point values. Boolean values, modeled
here as <4 x i1> are actually also represented as floating-point values
(essentially { -1, 1 } for { false, true }). QPX shares many features with
Altivec and VSX, but is distinct from both of them. One major difference is
that, instead of adding completely-separate vector registers, QPX vector
registers are extensions of the scalar floating-point registers (lane 0 is the
corresponding scalar floating-point value). The operations supported on QPX
vectors mirrors that supported on the scalar floating-point values (with some
additional ones for permutations and logical/comparison operations).
I've been maintaining this support out-of-tree, as part of the bgclang project,
for several years. This is not the entire bgclang patch set, but is most of the
subset that can be cleanly integrated into LLVM proper at this time. Adding
this to the LLVM backend is part of my efforts to rebase bgclang to the current
LLVM trunk, but is independently useful (especially for codes that use LLVM as
a JIT in library form).
The assembler/disassembler test coverage is complete. The CodeGen test coverage
is not, but I've included some tests, and more will be added as follow-up work.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

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/mafft/pairlocalalign
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.

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.)

As part of the global-dynamic and local-dynamic TLS sequences, we need
to use a special form of the call instruction:
bl __tls_get_addr(sym@tlsld)
bl __tls_get_addr(sym@tlsgd)
which generates two fixups. The current implementation of this causes
problems with recognizing this form in the asm parser. To fix this,
this patch reworks operand processing for this special form by using
a single operand to hold both __tls_get_addr and sym@tlsld and defining
a print method to output the above form, and an encoding method to
generate the two fixups.
As a side simplification, the patch replaces the two instruction
patterns BL8_NOP_TLSGD and BL8_NOP_TLSLD by a single BL8_NOP_TLS,
since the patterns already operate in an identical fashion (whether
we have a local-dynamic or global-dynamic symbol is already encoded
in the symbol modifier).
No change in code generation intended.
llvm-svn: 185477
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.

When targeting the Darwin assembler, we need to generate markers ha16() and
lo16() to designate the high and low parts of a (symbolic) immediate. This
is necessary not just for plain symbols, but also for certain symbolic
expression, typically along the lines of ha16(A - B). The latter doesn't
work when simply using VariantKind flags on the symbol reference.
This is why the current back-end uses hacks (explicitly called out as such
via multiple FIXMEs) in the symbolLo/symbolHi print methods.
This patch uses target-defined MCExpr codes to represent the Darwin
ha16/lo16 constructs, following along the lines of the equivalent solution
used by the ARM back end to handle their :upper16: / :lower16: markers.
This allows us to get rid of special handling both in the symbolLo/symbolHi
print method and in the common code MCExpr::print routine. Instead, the
ha16 / lo16 markers are printed simply in a custom print routine for the
target MCExpr types. (As a result, the symbolLo/symbolHi print methods
can now replaced by a single printS16ImmOperand routine that also handles
symbolic operands.)
The patch also provides a EvaluateAsRelocatableImpl routine to handle
ha16/lo16 constructs. This is not actually used at the moment by any
in-tree code, but is provided as it makes merging into David Fang's
out-of-tree Mach-O object writer simpler.
Since there is no longer any need to treat VK_PPC_GAS_HA16 and
VK_PPC_DARWIN_HA16 differently, they are merged into a single
VK_PPC_ADDR16_HA (and likewise for the _LO16 types).
llvm-svn: 182616
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.
