Altivec vector loads on PowerPC have an interesting property: They always load
from an aligned address (by rounding down the address actually provided if
necessary). In order to generate an actual unaligned load, you can generate two
load instructions, one with the original address, one offset by one vector
length, and use a special permutation to extract the bytes desired.
When this was originally implemented, I generated these two loads using regular
ISD::LOAD nodes, now marked as aligned. Unfortunately, there is a problem with
this:
The alignment of a load does not contribute to its identity, and SDNodes
are uniqued. So, imagine that we have some unaligned load, L1, that is not
aligned. The routine will create two loads, L1(aligned) and (L1+16)(aligned).
Further imagine that there had already existed a load (L1+16)(unaligned) with
the same chain operand as the load L1. When (L1+16)(aligned) is created as part
of the lowering of L1, this load *is* also the (L1+16)(unaligned) node, just
now marked as aligned (because the new alignment overwrites the old). But the
original users of (L1+16)(unaligned) now get the data intended for the
permutation yielding the data for L1, and (L1+16)(unaligned) no longer exists
to get its own permutation-based expansion. This was PR19991.
A second potential problem has to do with the MMOs on these loads, which can be
used by AA during instruction scheduling to break chain-based dependencies. If
the new "aligned" loads get the MMO from the original unaligned load, this does
not represent the fact that it will load data from below the original address.
Normally, this would not matter, but this load might be combined with another
load pair for a previous vector, and then the dependency on the otherwise-
ignored lower bytes can matter.
To fix both problems, instead of generating the necessary loads using regular
ISD::LOAD instructions, ppc_altivec_lvx intrinsics are used instead. These are
provided with MMOs with a conservative address range.
Unfortunately, I no longer have a failing test case (since PR19991 was
reported, other changes in CodeGen have forced this bug back into hiding it
again). Nevertheless, this should fix the underlying problem.

When generating unaligned vector loads, we need to search for other loads or
stores nearby offset by one vector width. If we find one, then we know that we
can safely generate another aligned load at that address. Otherwise, we must
generate the next load using an offset of the vector width minus one byte (so
we don't read off the end of the allocation if the base unaligned address
happened to be aligned at runtime). We had previously done this using only
other vector loads and stores, but did not consider the PowerPC-specific vector
load/store intrinsics. Now we'll also consider vector intrinsics. By itself,
this change is a feature enhancement, but is a necessary step toward fixing the
underlying problem behind PR19991.

Currently when DAGCombine converts loads feeding a switch into a switch of
addresses feeding a load the new load inherits the isInvariant flag of the left
side. This is incorrect since invariant loads can be reordered in cases where it
is illegal to reoarder normal loads.
This patch adds an isInvariant parameter to getExtLoad() and updates all call
sites to pass in the data if they have it or false if they don't. It also
changes the DAGCombine to use that data to make the right decision when
creating the new load.

While LLVM now supports both ELFv1 and ELFv2 ABIs, their use is currently
hard-coded via the target triple: powerpc64-linux is always ELFv1, while
powerpc64le-linux is always ELFv2.
These are of course the most common scenarios, but in principle it is
possible to support the ELFv2 ABI on big-endian or the ELFv1 ABI on
little-endian systems (and GCC does support that), and there are some
special use cases for that (e.g. certain Linux kernel versions could
only be built using ELFv1 on LE).
This patch implements the LLVM side of supporting this. As precedent
on other platforms suggests, ABI options are passed to the back-end as
features. Thus, this patch implements two features "elfv1" and "elfv2"
that select the desired ABI if present. (If not, the LLVM uses the
same default rules as now.)

Because the PowerPC vmrgh* and vmrgl* instructions have a built-in
big-endian bias, it is necessary to swap their inputs in little-endian
mode when using them to implement a vector shuffle. This was
previously missed in the vector LE implementation.
There was already logic to distinguish between unary and "normal"
vmrg* vector shuffles, so this patch extends that logic to use a third
option: "swapped" vmrg* vector shuffles that are used for little
endian in place of the "normal" ones.
I've updated the vec-shuffle-le.ll test to check for the expected
register ordering on the generated instructions.
This bug was discovered when testing the LE and ELFv2 patches for
safety if they were backported to 3.4. A different vectorization
decision was made in 3.4 than on mainline trunk, and that exposed the
problem. I've verified this fix takes care of that issue.

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.

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.

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.

Arguments passed as "byval align" should get the specified alignment
in the parameter save area. There was some code in PPCISelLowering.cpp
that attempted to implement this, but this didn't work correctly:
while code did update the ArgOffset value, it neglected to update
the PtrOff value (which was already computed from the old ArgOffset),
and it also neglected to update GPR_idx -- fields skipped due to
alignment in the save area must likewise be skipped in GPRs.
This patch fixes and simplifies this logic by:
- handling argument offset alignment right at the beginning
of argument processing, using a new helper routine
CalculateStackSlotAlignment (this avoids having to update
PtrOff and other derived values later on)
- not tracking GPR_idx separately, but always computing the
correct GPR_idx for each argument *from* its ArgOffset
- removing some redundant computation in LowerFormalArguments:
MinReservedArea must equal ArgOffset after argument processing,
so there's no use in computing it twice.
[This doesn't change the behavior of the current clang front-end,
since that never creates "byval align" arguments at the moment.
This will change with a follow-on patch, however.]

The PPCFrameLowering::determineFrameLayout routine currently ensures
that every function that allocates a stack frame provides space for the
parameter save area (via PPCFrameLowering::getMinCallFrameSize).
This is actually not necessary. There may be functions that never call
another routine but still allocate a frame; those do not require the

routines that do call other functions do not need to allocate the
parameter save area.
While it is not a bug to allocate the parameter area when it is not
needed, it is better to avoid it to save stack space.
Note that when any particular function call requires the parameter save
area, this space will already have been included by ABI code in the size
the CALLSEQ_START insn is annotated with, and therefore included in the
size returned by MFI->getMaxCallFrameSize().
This means that determineFrameLayout simply does not need to care about
the parameter save area. (It still needs to ensure that every frame
provides the linkage area.) This is implemented by this patch.
Note that this exposed a bug in the new fast-isel code where the parameter
area was *not* included in the CALLSEQ_START size; this is also fixed.
A couple of test cases needed to be adapted for the new (smaller) stack
frame size those tests now see.
