Some early revisions of the Cortex-A53 have an erratum (835769) whereby it is
possible for a 64-bit multiply-accumulate instruction in AArch64 state to
generate an incorrect result. The details are quite complex and hard to
determine statically, since branches in the code may exist in some
circumstances, but all cases end with a memory (load, store, or prefetch)
instruction followed immediately by the multiply-accumulate operation.
The safest work-around for this issue is to make the compiler avoid emitting
multiply-accumulate instructions immediately after memory instructions and the
simplest way to do this is to insert a NOP.
This patch implements such work-around in the backend, enabled via the option
-aarch64-fix-cortex-a53-835769.
The work-around code generation is not enabled by default.

This patch removes the PBQPBuilder class and its subclasses and replaces them
with a composable constraints class: PBQPRAConstraint. This allows constraints
that are only required for optimisation (e.g. coalescing, soft pairing) to be
mixed and matched.
This patch also introduces support for target writers to supply custom
constraints for their targets by overriding a TargetSubtargetInfo method:
std::unique_ptr<PBQPRAConstraints> getCustomPBQPConstraints() const;
This patch should have no effect on allocations.
llvm-svn: 219421
This adds target specific support for using the PBQP register allocator on the
AArch64, for the A57 cpu.
By default, the PBQP allocator is not used, unless explicitely required
on the command line with "-aarch64-pbqp".

Patched by Sergey Dmitrouk.
This pass tries to make consecutive compares of values use same operands to
allow CSE pass to remove duplicated instructions. For this it analyzes
branches and adjusts comparisons with immediate values by converting:
GE -> GT
GT -> GE
LT -> LE
LE -> LT
and adjusting immediate values appropriately. It basically corrects two
immediate values towards each other to make them equal.

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.

For best-case performance on Cortex-A57, we should try to use a balanced mix of odd and even D-registers when performing a critical sequence of independent, non-quadword FP/ASIMD floating-point multiply or multiply-accumulate operations.
This pass attempts to detect situations where the register allocation may adversely affect this load balancing and to change the registers used so as to better utilize the CPU.
Ideally we'd just take each multiply or multiply-accumulate in turn and allocate it alternating even or odd registers. However, multiply-accumulates are most efficiently performed in the same functional unit as their accumulation operand. Therefore this pass tries to find maximal sequences ("Chains") of multiply-accumulates linked via their accumulation operand, and assign them all the same "color" (oddness/evenness).
This optimization affects S-register and D-register floating point multiplies and FMADD/FMAs, as well as vector (floating point only) muls and FMADD/FMA. Q register instructions (and 128-bit vector instructions) are not affected.

This commit starts with a "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and continues out
from there, renaming the C++ classes, intrinsics, and other
target-local objects for consistency.
"ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their
life in ARM64 use an arm64 triple, those from AArch64 use an aarch64
triple. Both should be equivalent though.
This finishes the AArch64 merge, and everyone should feel free to
continue committing as normal now.

I'm doing this in two phases for a better "git blame" record. This
commit removes the previous AArch64 backend and redirects all
functionality to ARM64. It also deduplicates test-lines and removes
orphaned AArch64 tests.
The next step will be "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and rewire most of the
tests.
Hopefully LLVM is still functional, though it would be even better if
no-one ever had to care because the rename happens straight
afterwards.

This is essentially a stripped-down version of the ConstandIslands pass (which
always had these two functions), providing just the features necessary for
correctness.
In particular there needs to be a way to resolve the situation where a
conditional branch's destination block ends up out of range.
This issue crops up when self-hosting for AArch64.

This implements the review suggestion to simplify the AArch64 backend. If we
later discover that we *really* need the extra complexity of the
ConstantIslands pass for performance reasons it can be resurrected.
llvm-svn: 175258
This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.
