There are two attempted optimisations in reMaterializeTrivialDef, trying to
avoid promoting the size of a register too much when rematerializing.
Unfortunately, both appear to be flawed. First, we see if the original register
would have worked, but this is inadequate. Consider:
v1 = SOMETHING (v1 is QQ)
v2:Q0 = COPY v1:Q1 (v1, v2 are QQ)
...
uses of v2
In this case even though v2 *could* be used directly as the output of
SOMETHING, this would set the wrong bits of the QQ register involved. The
correct rematerialization must be:
v2:Q0_Q1 = SOMETHING (v2 promoted to QQQ)
...
uses of v2:Q1_Q2
For the second optimisation, if the correct remat is "v2:idx = SOMETHING" then
we can't necessarily expect v2 itself to be valid for SOMETHING, but we do try
to hunt for a class between v1 and v2 that works. Unfortunately, this is also
wrong:
v1 = SOMETHING (v1 is QQ)
v2:Q0_Q1 = COPY v1 (v1 is QQ, v2 is QQQ)
...
uses of v2 as a QQQ
The canonical rematerialization here is "v2:Q0_Q1 = SOMETHING". However current
logic would decide that v2 could be a QQ (no interest is taken in later uses).
This patch, therefore, always accepts the widened register class without trying
to be clever. Generally there is no penalty to this (e.g. in the common GR32 <
GR64 case, expanding the width doesn't matter because it's not like you were
going to do anything else with the high bits of a GR32 register). It can
increase register pressure in cases like the ARM VFP regs though (multiple
non-overlapping but equivalent subregisters). This situation can be
spotted by the fact that both source and destination in the
not-quite-coalesced pair have a sub-register index and
rematerialisation is skipped in that situation.
Unfortunately, no in-tree targets actually expose this as far as I can tell
(there are so few isAsCheapAsAMove instructions for it to trigger on) so I've
been unable to produce a test. It was exposed in our ARM64 SPEC tests though,
and I will be adding a test there that we should be able to contribute
soon(TM).
