This is useful for cases when stand-alone patterns are preferred to the

that stand-alone patterns set a larger AddedComplexity value, which
can be confusing to new developers, the allows us to reduce the
complexity of the included patterns to achieve the same result.

There were two generally-useful CaptureTracker classes defined in LLVM: the
simple tracker defined in CaptureTracking (and made available via the
PointerMayBeCaptured utility function), and the CapturesBefore tracker
available only inside of AA. This change moves the CapturesBefore tracker into
CaptureTracking, generalizes it slightly (by adding a ReturnCaptures
parameter), and makes it generally available via a PointerMayBeCapturedBefore
utility function.
This logic will be needed, for example, to perform noalias function parameter
attribute inference.
No functionality change intended.

This makes the first stage DAG for @llvm.convert.to.fp16 an fptrunc,
and correspondingly @llvm.convert.from.fp16 an fpext. The legalisation
path is now uniform, regardless of the input IR:
fptrunc -> FP_TO_FP16 (if f16 illegal) -> libcall
fpext -> FP16_TO_FP (if f16 illegal) -> libcall
Each target should be able to select the version that best matches its
operations and not be required to duplicate patterns for both fptrunc
and FP_TO_FP16 (for example).
As a result we can remove some redundant AArch64 patterns.

Notably, the very 'WorkList' of the DAG combiner was exposed to target
specific DAG combines under an interface 'AddToWorklist' which was
implemented by in turn calling 'AddToWorkList' in the combiner. This has

In addition to enabling ELFv2 homogeneous aggregate handling,
LLVM support to pass array types directly also enables a performance
enhancement. We can now pass (non-homogeneous) aggregates that fit
fully in registers as direct integer arrays, using an element type
to encode the alignment requirement (that would otherwise go to the
"byval align" field).
This is preferable since "byval" forces the back-end to write the
aggregate out to the stack, even if it could be passed fully in
registers. This is particularly annoying on ELFv2, if there is
no parameter save area available, since we then need to allocate
space on the callee's stack just to hold those aggregates.
Note that to implement this optimization, this patch does not attempt
to fully anticipate register allocation rules as (defined in the
ABI and) implemented in the back-end. Instead, the patch is simply
passing *any* aggregate passed by value using the array mechanism
if its size is up to 64 bytes. This means that some of those will
end up being passed in stack slots anyway, but the generated code
shouldn't be any worse either. (*Large* aggregates remain passed
using "byval" to enable optimized copying via memcpy etc.)

This patch implements clang support for the PowerPC ELFv2 ABI.
Together with a series of companion patches in LLVM, this makes
clang/LLVM fully usable on powerpc64le-linux.
Most of the ELFv2 ABI changes are fully implemented on the LLVM side.
On the clang side, we only need to implement some changes in how
aggregate types are passed by value. Specifically, we need to:
- pass (and return) "homogeneous" floating-point or vector aggregates in
FPRs and VRs (this is similar to the ARM homogeneous aggregate ABI)
- return aggregates of up to 16 bytes in one or two GPRs
The second piece is trivial to implement in any case. To implement
the first piece, this patch makes use of infrastructure recently
enabled in the LLVM PowerPC back-end to support passing array types
directly, where the array element type encodes properties needed to
handle homogeneous aggregates correctly.
Specifically, the array element type encodes:
- whether the parameter should be passed in FPRs, VRs, or just
GPRs/stack slots (for float / vector / integer element types,
respectively)
- what the alignment requirements of the parameter are when passed in
GPRs/stack slots (8 for float / 16 for vector / the element type
size for integer element types) -- this corresponds to the
"byval align" field
With this support in place, the clang part simply needs to *detect*
whether an aggregate type implements a float / vector homogeneous
aggregate as defined by the ELFv2 ABI, and if so, pass/return it
as array type using the appropriate float / vector element type.
llvm-svn: 213494
This patch adds infrastructure support for passing array types
directly. These can be used by the front-end to pass aggregate
types (coerced to an appropriate array type). The details of the
array type being used inform the back-end about ABI-relevant
properties. Specifically, the array element type encodes:
- whether the parameter should be passed in FPRs, VRs, or just
GPRs/stack slots (for float / vector / integer element types,
respectively)
- what the alignment requirements of the parameter are when passed in
GPRs/stack slots (8 for float / 16 for vector / the element type
size for integer element types) -- this corresponds to the
"byval align" field
Using the infrastructure provided by this patch, a companion patch
to clang will enable two features:
- In the ELFv2 ABI, pass (and return) "homogeneous" floating-point
or vector aggregates in FPRs and VRs (this is similar to the ARM
homogeneous aggregate ABI)
- As an optimization for both ELFv1 and ELFv2 ABIs, pass aggregates
that fit fully in registers without using the "byval" mechanism
The patch uses the functionArgumentNeedsConsecutiveRegisters callback
to encode that special treatment is required for all directly-passed
array types. The isInConsecutiveRegs / isInConsecutiveRegsLast bits set
as a results are then used to implement the required size and alignment
rules in CalculateStackSlotSize / CalculateStackSlotAlignment etc.
As a related change, the ABI routines have to be modified to support
passing floating-point types in GPRs. This is necessary because with
homogeneous aggregates of 4-byte float type we can now run out of FPRs
*before* we run out of the 64-byte argument save area that is shadowed
by GPRs. Any extra floating-point arguments that no longer fit in FPRs
must now be passed in GPRs until we run out of those too.
Note that there was already code to pass floating-point arguments in
GPRs used with vararg parameters, which was done by writing the argument
out to the argument save area first and then reloading into GPRs. The
patch re-implements this, however, in favor of code packing float arguments
directly via extension/truncation, BITCAST, and BUILD_PAIR operations.
This is required to support the ELFv2 ABI, since we cannot unconditionally
write to the argument save area (which the caller might not have allocated).
The change does, however, affect ELFv1 varags routines too; but even here
the overall effect should be advantageous: Instead of loading the argument
into the FPR, then storing the argument to the stack slot, and finally
reloading the argument from the stack slot into a GPR, the new code now
just loads the argument into the FPR, and subsequently loads the argument
into the GPR (via BITCAST). That BITCAST might imply a save/reload from
a stack temporary (in which case we're no worse than before); but it
might be implemented more efficiently in some cases.
The final part of the patch enables up to 8 FPRs and VRs for argument
return in PPCCallingConv.td; this is required to support returning
ELFv2 homogeneous aggregates. (Note that this doesn't affect other ABIs
since LLVM wil only look for which register to use if the parameter is
marked as "direct" return anyway.)

This is a minor improvement in the ELFv2 ABI. In ELFv1, DWARF CFI
would represent a saved CR word (holding CR fields CR2, CR3, and CR4)
using just a single CFI record refering to CR2. In ELFv2 instead,
each of the CR fields is represented by its own CFI record. The
advantage is that the compiler can now chose to save just a single
(or two) CR fields instead of all of them, if those are the only ones
that actually need saving. That can lead to more efficient code using
mf(o)crf instead of the (slow) mfcr instruction.
Note that this patch does not (yet) implement this more efficient
code generation, but it does implement the part that is required to
be ABI compliant: creating multiple CFI records if multiple CR fields
are saved.

This patch enables the new ELFv2 ABI in the runtime dynamic loader.
The loader has to implement the following features:
- In the ELFv2 ABI, do not look up a function descriptor in .opd, but
instead use the local entry point when resolving a direct call.
- Update the TOC restore code to use the new TOC slot linkage area
offset.
- Create PLT stubs appropriate for the ELFv2 ABI.
Note that this patch also adds common-code changes. These are necessary
because the loader must check the newly added ELF flags: the e_flags
header bits encoding the ABI version, and the st_other symbol table
entry bits encoding the local entry point offset. There is currently
no way to access these, so I've added ObjectFile::getPlatformFlags and
SymbolRef::getOther accessors.

The ELFv2 ABI reduces the amount of stack required to implement an
ABI-compliant function call in two ways:
* the "linkage area" is reduced from 48 bytes to 32 bytes by
eliminating two unused doublewords
* the 64-byte "parameter save area" is now optional and need not be
present in certain cases (it remains mandatory in functions with
variable arguments, and functions that have any parameter that is
passed on the stack)
The following patch implements this required changes:
- reducing the linkage area, and associated relocation of the TOC save
slot, in getLinkageSize / getTOCSaveOffset (this requires updating all
callers of these routines to pass in the isELFv2ABI flag).
- (partially) handling the case where the parameter save are is optional
This latter part requires some extra explanation: Currently, we still
always allocate the parameter save area when *calling* a function.
That is certainly always compliant with the ABI, but may cause code to
allocate stack unnecessarily. This can be addressed by a follow-on
optimization patch.
On the *callee* side, in LowerFormalArguments, we *must* track
correctly whether the ABI guarantees that the caller has allocated
the parameter save area for our use, and the patch does so. However,
there is one complication: the code that handles incoming "byval"
arguments will currently *always* write to the parameter save area,
because it has to force incoming register arguments to the stack since
it must return an *address* to implement the byval semantics.
To fix this, the patch changes the LowerFormalArguments code to write
arguments to a freshly allocated stack slot on the function's own stack
frame instead of the argument save area in those cases where that area
is not present.

This patch builds upon the two preceding MC changes to implement the
basic ELFv2 function call convention. In the ELFv1 ABI, a "function
descriptor" was associated with every function, pointing to both the
entry address and the related TOC base (and a static chain pointer
for nested functions). Function pointers would actually refer to that
descriptor, and the indirect call sequence needed to load up both entry
address and TOC base.
In the ELFv2 ABI, there are no more function descriptors, and function
pointers simply refer to the (global) entry point of the function code.
Indirect function calls simply branch to that address, after loading it
up into r12 (as required by the ABI rules for a global entry point).
Direct function calls continue to just do a "bl" to the target symbol;
this will be resolved by the linker to the local entry point of the
target function if it is local, and to a PLT stub if it is global.
That PLT stub would then load the (global) entry point address of the
final target into r12 and branch to it. Note that when performing a
local function call, r2 must be set up to point to the current TOC
base: if the target ends up local, the ABI requires that its local
entry point is called with r2 set up; if the target ends up global,
the PLT stub requires that r2 is set up.
This patch implements all LLVM changes to implement that scheme:
- No longer create a function descriptor when emitting a function
definition (in EmitFunctionEntryLabel)
- Emit two entry points *if* the function needs the TOC base (r2)
anywhere (this is done EmitFunctionBodyStart; note that this cannot
be done in EmitFunctionBodyStart because the global entry point
prologue code must be *part* of the function as covered by debug info).
- In order to make use tracking of r2 (as needed above) work correctly,
mark direct function calls as implicitly using r2.
- Implement the ELFv2 indirect function call sequence (no function
descriptors; load target address into r12).
- When creating an ELFv2 object file, emit the .abiversion 2 directive
to tell the linker to create the appropriate version of PLT stubs.

As discussed in a previous checking to support the .localentry
directive on PowerPC, we need to inspect the actual target symbol
in needsRelocateWithSymbol to make the appropriate decision based
on that symbol's st_other bits.
Currently, needsRelocateWithSymbol does not get the target symbol.
However, it is directly available to its sole caller. This patch
therefore simply extends the needsRelocateWithSymbol by a new
parameter "const MCSymbolData &SD", passes in the target symbol,
and updates all derived implementations.
In particular, in the PowerPC implementation, this patch removes
the FIXME added by the previous checkin.

Prior to this change, the loop vectorizer did not make use of the alias
analysis infrastructure. Instead, it performed memory dependence analysis using
ScalarEvolution-based linear dependence checks within equivalence classes
derived from the results of ValueTracking's GetUnderlyingObjects.
Unfortunately, this meant that:
1. The loop vectorizer had logic that essentially duplicated that in BasicAA
for aliasing based on identified objects.
2. The loop vectorizer could not partition the space of dependency checks
based on information only easily available from within AA (TBAA metadata is
currently the prime example).
This means, for example, regardless of whether -fno-strict-aliasing was
provided, the vectorizer would only vectorize this loop with a runtime
memory-overlap check:
void foo(int *a, float *b) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1600; ++i)
a[i] = b[i];
}
This is suboptimal because the TBAA metadata already provides the information
necessary to show that this check unnecessary. Of course, the vectorizer has a
limit on the number of such checks it will insert, so in practice, ignoring
TBAA means not vectorizing more-complicated loops that we should.
This change causes the vectorizer to use an AliasSetTracker to keep track of
the pointers in the loop. The resulting alias sets are then used to partition
the space of dependency checks, and potential runtime checks; this results in
more-efficient vectorizations.
When pointer locations are added to the AliasSetTracker, two things are done:
1. The location size is set to UnknownSize (otherwise you'd not catch
inter-iteration dependencies)
2. For instructions in blocks that would need to be predicated, TBAA is
removed (because the metadata might have a control dependency on the condition
being speculated).
For non-predicated blocks, you can leave the TBAA metadata. This is safe
because you can't have an iteration dependency on the TBAA metadata (if you
did, and you unrolled sufficiently, you'd end up with the same pointer value
used by two accesses that TBAA says should not alias, and that would yield
undefined behavior).
llvm-svn: 213486
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.

When handling an incoming byval argument, we need to possibly write
incoming registers to the stack in order to create an on-stack image
of the parameter, so we can return its address to common code.
This currently uses CreateFixedObject to access the parts of the
parameter save area where the argument is (or needs to be) stored.
However, sometimes we need to access multiple parts of that area,
e.g. to write multiple registers. The code currently uses a new
CreateFixedObject call for each of these accesses, resulting in
a patchwork of overlapping (fixed) stack objects.
This doesn't really matter in the case of fixed objects, since
any access to those turns into a fixed stackpointer + offset
address anyway. However, with the upcoming ELFv2 patches, we
may actually need to place an incoming argument into our *own*
stack frame instead of the caller's. This means we need to use
CreateStackObject instead, and we cannot have multiple overlapping
instances of those.
To make the rest of the argument handling code work equally in
both situations, this patch refactors it to always use just a
single call to CreateFixedObject, and access parts of that object
as required using address arithmetic. This way, we can in a future
patch substitute CreateStackObject without further changes.
No change to generated code intended.

The PPCTargetLowering::SelectAddressRegImm routine needs to handle
FrameIndex nodes in a special manner, by tranlating them into a
TargetFrameIndex node. This was done in most cases, but seems to
have been neglected in one path: when the input tree has an OR of
the FrameIndex with an immediate. This can happen if the FrameIndex
can be proven to be sufficiently aligned that an OR of that immediate
is equivalent to an ADD.
The missing handling of FrameIndex in that case caused the SelectionDAG
instruction selection to miss opportunities to merge the OR back into
the FrameIndex node, leading to superfluous addi/ori instructions in
the final assembler output.
