This patch adds an optimization in CodeGenPrepare to move an extractelement
right before a store when the target can combine them.
The optimization may promote any scalar operations to vector operations in the
way to make that possible.
** Context **
Some targets use different register files for both vector and scalar operations.
This means that transitioning from one domain to another may incur copy from one
register file to another. These copies are not coalescable and may be expensive.
For example, according to the scheduling model, on cortex-A8 a vector to GPR
move is 20 cycles.
** Motivating Example **
Let us consider an example:
define void @foo(<2 x i32>* %addr1, i32* %dest) {
%in1 = load <2 x i32>* %addr1, align 8
%extract = extractelement <2 x i32> %in1, i32 1
%out = or i32 %extract, 1
store i32 %out, i32* %dest, align 4
ret void
}
As it is, this IR generates the following assembly on armv7:
vldr d16, [r0] @vector load
vmov.32 r0, d16[1] @ cross-register-file copy: 20 cycles
orr r0, r0, #1 @ scalar bitwise or
str r0, [r1] @ scalar store
bx lr
Whereas we could generate much faster code:
vldr d16, [r0] @ vector load
vorr.i32 d16, #0x1 @ vector bitwise or
vst1.32 {d16[1]}, [r1:32] @ vector extract + store
bx lr
Half of the computation made in the vector is useless, but this allows to get
rid of the expensive cross-register-file copy.
** Proposed Solution **
To avoid this cross-register-copy penalty, we promote the scalar operations to
vector operations. The penalty will be removed if we manage to promote the whole
chain of computation in the vector domain.
Currently, we do that only when the chain of computation ends by a store and the
target is able to combine an extract with a store.
Stores are the most likely candidates, because other instructions produce values
that would need to be promoted and so, extracted as some point[1]. Moreover,
this is customary that targets feature stores that perform a vector extract (see
AArch64 and X86 for instance).
The proposed implementation relies on the TargetTransformInfo to decide whether
or not it is beneficial to promote a chain of computation in the vector domain.
Unfortunately, this interface is rather inaccurate for this level of details and
although this optimization may be beneficial for X86 and AArch64, the inaccuracy
will lead to the optimization being too aggressive.
Basically in TargetTransformInfo, everything that is legal has a cost of 1,
whereas, even if a vector type is legal, usually a vector operation is slightly
more expensive than its scalar counterpart. That will lead to too many
promotions that may not be counter balanced by the saving of the
cross-register-file copy. For instance, on AArch64 this penalty is just 4
cycles.
For now, the optimization is just enabled for ARM prior than v8, since those
processors have a larger penalty on cross-register-file copies, and the scope is
limited to basic blocks. Because of these two factors, we limit the effects of
the inaccuracy. Indeed, I did not want to build up a fancy cost model with block
frequency and everything on top of that.
[1] We can imagine targets that can combine an extractelement with other
instructions than just stores. If we want to go into that direction, the current
interfaces must be augmented and, moreover, I think this becomes a global isel
problem.

Currently, the ARM backend will select the VMAXNM and VMINNM for these C
expressions:
(a < b) ? a : b
(a > b) ? a : b
but not these expressions:
(a > b) ? b : a
(a < b) ? b : a
This patch allows all of these expressions to be matched.

This updates check for double precision zero floating point constant to allow
use of instruction with immediate value rather than temporary register.
Currently "a == 0.0", where "a" is of "double" type generates:
vmov.i32 d16, #0x0
vcmpe.f64 d0, d16
With this change it becomes:
vcmpe.f64 d0, #0

The previous code had a few problems, motivating the choices here.
1. It could create instructions clobbering CPSR, but the incoming MachineInstr
didn't reflect this. A potential source of corruption. This is why the patch
has a new PseudoInst for before lowering.
2. Similarly, there was some code to handle the incoming instruction not being
ARMCC::AL, but this would have caused massive problems if it was actually
invoked when a complex offset needing more than one instruction was requested.
3. It wasn't designed to handle unaligned pointers (or offsets). These should
probably be minimised anyway, but the code needs to deal with them properly
regardless.
4. It had some rather dubious ad-hoc code to avoid calling
emitThumbRegPlusImmediate, a function which should be designed to do precisely
this job.
We seem to cover the common cases correctly now, and hopefully can enhance
emitThumbRegPlusImmediate to handle any extra optimisations we need to add in
future.

The current instruction selection patterns for SMULW[BT] and SMLAW[BT]
are incorrect. These instructions multiply a 32-bit and a 16-bit value
(both signed) and return the top 32 bits of the 48-bit result. This
preserves the 16 bits of overflow, whereas the patterns they currently
match truncate the result to 16 bits then sign extend.
To select these instructions, we would need to match an ISD::SMUL_LOHI,
a sign extend, two shifts and an or. There is no way to match SMUL_LOHI
in an instruction pattern as it defines multiple values, so this would
have to be done in C++. I have raised
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21297 to cover allowing correct
selection of these instructions.

Thumb1 has legitimate reasons for preferring 32-bit alignment of types
i1/i8/i16, since the 16-bit encoding of "add rD, sp, #imm" requires #imm to be
a multiple of 4. However, this is a trade-off betweem code size and RAM usage;
the DataLayout string is not the best place to represent it even if desired.
So this patch removes the extra Thumb requirements, hopefully making ARM and
Thumb completely compatible in this respect.
llvm-svn: 219734
There's no hard requirement on LLVM to align local variable to 32-bits, so the
Thumb1 frame handling needs to be able to deal with variables that are only
naturally aligned without falling over.
llvm-svn: 219733
Before, ARM and Thumb mode code had different preferred alignments, which could
lead to some rather unexpected results. There's justification for reducing it
from the default 64-bits (wasted space), but I don't think there is for going
below 32-bits.
There's no actual ABI change here, just to reassure people.

This reverts commit r218918, effectively reapplying r218914 after fixing
an Ocaml bindings test and an Asan crash. The root cause of the latter

PR to investigate who requires the loose check (and why).

As with x86 and AArch64, certain situations can arise where we need to spill
CPSR in the middle of a calculation. These should be avoided where possible
(MRS/MSR is rather expensive), which ARM is actually better at than the other
two since it tries to Glue defs to uses, but as a last ditch effort, copying is
better than crashing.

argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

Currently, we only codegen the VRINT[APMXZR] and VCVT[BT] instructions
when targeting ARMv8, but they are actually present on any target with
FP-ARMv8. Note that FP-ARMv8 is called FPv5 when is is part of an
M-profile core, but they have the same instructions so we model them
both as FPARMv8 in the ARM backend.
llvm-svn: 218763
The Cortex-M7 has 3 options for its FPU: none, FPv5-SP-D16 and
FPv5-DP-D16. FPv5 has the same instructions as FP-ARMv8, so it can be
modelled using the same target feature, and all double-precision
operations are already disabled by the fp-only-sp target features.

This testcase was not testing what it meant: because there were only two checks for
dmb {{ish}} in the second function, it could have missed a bug where one of the three
required dmb {{ish}} became dmb {{ishst}}. As I was fixing it, I also added
CHECK-LABELs to make it a bit less brittle.
llvm-svn: 218341
The fix is slightly different then x86 (see r216117) because the number of values
attached to a return can vary even for a single returned value (e.g., f64 yields
two returned values).

Summary:
This patch was originally in D5304 (I could not find a way to reopen that revision).
It was accepted, commited and broke the build bots because the overloading of
the constructor of ArrayRef for braced initializer lists is not supported by all
toolchains. I then reverted it, and propose this fixed version that uses a plain
C array instead in makeDMB (that array is then converted implicitly to an
ArrayRef, but that is not behind an ifdef). Could someone confirm me whether
initialization lists for plain C arrays are supported by every toolchain used
to build llvm ? Otherwise I can just initialize the array in the old way:
args[0] = ...; .. ; args[5] = ...;
Below is the description of the original patch:
```
I had only tested this code for ARMv7 and ARMv8. This patch adds several
fallback paths if the processor does not support dmb ish:
- dmb sy if a cortex-M with support for dmb
- mcr p15, #0, r0, c7, c10, #5 for ARMv6 (special instruction equivalent to a DMB)
These fallback paths were chosen based on the code for fence seq_cst.
Thanks to luqmana for having noticed this bug.

It is breaking the build on the buildbots but works fine on my machine, I revert
while trying to understand what happens (it appears to depend on the compiler used
to build, I probably used a C++11 feature that is not perfectly supported by some
of the buildbots).

There's no need to do this if the user doesn't call va_start. In the
future, we're going to have thunks that forward these register
parameters with musttail calls, and they won't need these spills for
handling va_start.
Most of the test suite changes are adding va_start calls to existing
tests to keep things working.

The FPv4-SP floating-point unit is generally referred to as
single-precision only, but it does have double-precision registers and
load, store and GPR<->DPR move instructions which operate on them.
This patch enables the use of these registers, the main advantage of
which is that we now comply with the AAPCS-VFP calling convention.
This partially reverts r209650, which added some AAPCS-VFP support,
but did not handle return values or alignment of double arguments in
registers.
This patch also adds tests for Thumb2 code generation for
floating-point instructions and intrinsics, which previously only
existed for ARM.

advanced copy optimization.
This is the final step patch toward transforming:
udiv r0, r0, r2
udiv r1, r1, r3
vmov.32 d16[0], r0
vmov.32 d16[1], r1
vmov r0, r1, d16
bx lr
into:
udiv r0, r0, r2
udiv r1, r1, r3
bx lr
Indeed, thanks to this patch, this optimization is able to look through
vmov.32 d16[0], r0
vmov.32 d16[1], r1
and is able to rewrite the following sequence:
vmov.32 d16[0], r0
vmov.32 d16[1], r1
vmov r0, r1, d16
into simple generic GPR copies that the coalescer managed to remove.

On pre-v6 hardware, 'MOV lo, lo' gives undefined results, so such copies need to
be avoided. This patch trades simplicity for implementation time at the expense
of performance... As they say: correctness first, then performance.
See http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2014-August/075998.html for a few
ideas on how to make this better.
