This document describes techniques for writing compiler backends that convert
|
|
|
|
|
the LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) to code for a specified machine or
|
|
|
|
|
other languages. Code intended for a specific machine can take the form of
|
|
|
|
|
either assembly code or binary code (usable for a JIT compiler).
|
|

The backend of LLVM features a target-independent code generator that may create
|
|
|
|
|
output for several types of target CPUs — including X86, PowerPC, Alpha,
|
|
|
|
|
and SPARC. The backend may also be used to generate code targeted at SPUs of the
|
|
|
|
|
Cell processor or GPUs to support the execution of compute kernels.

The document focuses on existing examples found in subdirectories
|
|
|
|
|
of <tt>llvm/lib/Target</tt> in a downloaded LLVM release. In particular, this
|
|
|
|
|
document focuses on the example of creating a static compiler (one that emits
|
|
|
|
|
text assembly) for a SPARC target, because SPARC has fairly standard
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
characteristics, such as a RISC instruction set and straightforward calling
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
conventions.

To write a compiler backend for LLVM that converts the LLVM IR to code for a
|
|
|
|
|
specified target (machine or other language), follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Create a subclass of the TargetMachine class that describes characteristics
|
|
|
|
|
of your target machine. Copy existing examples of specific TargetMachine
|
|
|
|
|
class and header files; for example, start with
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>SparcTargetMachine.cpp</tt> and <tt>SparcTargetMachine.h</tt>, but
|
|
|
|
|
change the file names for your target. Similarly, change code that
|
|
|
|
|
references "Sparc" to reference your target. </li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Describe the register set of the target. Use TableGen to generate code for
|
|
|
|
|
register definition, register aliases, and register classes from a
|
|
|
|
|
target-specific <tt>RegisterInfo.td</tt> input file. You should also write
|
|
|
|
|
additional code for a subclass of the TargetRegisterInfo class that
|
|
|
|
|
represents the class register file data used for register allocation and
|
|
|
|
|
also describes the interactions between registers.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Describe the instruction set of the target. Use TableGen to generate code
|
|
|
|
|
for target-specific instructions from target-specific versions of
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>TargetInstrFormats.td</tt> and <tt>TargetInstrInfo.td</tt>. You should
|
|
|
|
|
write additional code for a subclass of the TargetInstrInfo class to
|
|
|
|
|
represent machine instructions supported by the target machine. </li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Describe the selection and conversion of the LLVM IR from a Directed Acyclic
|
|
|
|
|
Graph (DAG) representation of instructions to native target-specific
|
|
|
|
|
instructions. Use TableGen to generate code that matches patterns and
|
|
|
|
|
selects instructions based on additional information in a target-specific
|
|
|
|
|
version of <tt>TargetInstrInfo.td</tt>. Write code
|
|
|
|
|
for <tt>XXXISelDAGToDAG.cpp</tt>, where XXX identifies the specific target,
|
|
|
|
|
to perform pattern matching and DAG-to-DAG instruction selection. Also write
|
|
|
|
|
code in <tt>XXXISelLowering.cpp</tt> to replace or remove operations and
|
|
|
|
|
data types that are not supported natively in a SelectionDAG. </li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Write code for an assembly printer that converts LLVM IR to a GAS format for
|
|
|
|
|
your target machine. You should add assembly strings to the instructions
|
|
|
|
|
defined in your target-specific version of <tt>TargetInstrInfo.td</tt>. You
|
|
|
|
|
should also write code for a subclass of AsmPrinter that performs the
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM-to-assembly conversion and a trivial subclass of TargetAsmInfo.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Optionally, add support for subtargets (i.e., variants with different
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities). You should also write code for a subclass of the
|
|
|
|
|
TargetSubtarget class, which allows you to use the <tt>-mcpu=</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>-mattr=</tt> command-line options.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Optionally, add JIT support and create a machine code emitter (subclass of
|
|
|
|
|
TargetJITInfo) that is used to emit binary code directly into memory. </li>
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00

|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In the <tt>.cpp</tt> and <tt>.h</tt>. files, initially stub up these methods and
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
then implement them later. Initially, you may not know which private members
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
that the class will need and which components will need to be subclassed.

To actually create your compiler backend, you need to create and modify a few
|
|
|
|
|
files. The absolute minimum is discussed here. But to actually use the LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
target-independent code generator, you must perform the steps described in
|
|
|
|
|
the <a href="http://www.llvm.org/docs/CodeGenerator.html">LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
Target-Independent Code Generator</a> document.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
First, you should create a subdirectory under <tt>lib/Target</tt> to hold all
|
|
|
|
|
the files related to your target. If your target is called "Dummy," create the
|
|
|
|
|
directory <tt>lib/Target/Dummy</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In this new
|
|
|
|
|
directory, create a <tt>Makefile</tt>. It is easiest to copy a
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>Makefile</tt> of another target and modify it. It should at least contain
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>LEVEL</tt>, <tt>LIBRARYNAME</tt> and <tt>TARGET</tt> variables, and then
|
|
|
|
|
include <tt>$(LEVEL)/Makefile.common</tt>. The library can be
|
|
|
|
|
named <tt>LLVMDummy</tt> (for example, see the MIPS target). Alternatively, you
|
|
|
|
|
can split the library into <tt>LLVMDummyCodeGen</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>LLVMDummyAsmPrinter</tt>, the latter of which should be implemented in a
|
|
|
|

Note that these two naming schemes are hardcoded into <tt>llvm-config</tt>.
|
|
|
|

Using any other naming scheme will confuse <tt>llvm-config</tt> and produce a

lot of (seemingly unrelated) linker errors when linking <tt>llc</tt>.

To make your target actually do something, you need to implement a subclass of
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>TargetMachine</tt>. This implementation should typically be in the file
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>lib/Target/DummyTargetMachine.cpp</tt>, but any file in
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>lib/Target</tt> directory will be built and should work. To use LLVM's
|
|
|
|
|
target independent code generator, you should do what all current machine
|
|
|
|
|
backends do: create a subclass of <tt>LLVMTargetMachine</tt>. (To create a
|
|
|
|
|
target from scratch, create a subclass of <tt>TargetMachine</tt>.)
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To get LLVM to actually build and link your target, you need to add it to
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>TARGETS_TO_BUILD</tt> variable. To do this, you modify the configure
|
|
|
|
|
script to know about your target when parsing the <tt>--enable-targets</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
option. Search the configure script for <tt>TARGETS_TO_BUILD</tt>, add your
|
|
|
|
|
target to the lists there (some creativity required), and then
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
reconfigure. Alternatively, you can change <tt>autotools/configure.ac</tt> and
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
regenerate configure by running <tt>./autoconf/AutoRegen.sh</tt>.

<tt>LLVMTargetMachine</tt> is designed as a base class for targets implemented
|
|
|
|
|
with the LLVM target-independent code generator. The <tt>LLVMTargetMachine</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
class should be specialized by a concrete target class that implements the
|
|
|
|
|
various virtual methods. <tt>LLVMTargetMachine</tt> is defined as a subclass of
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>TargetMachine</tt> in <tt>include/llvm/Target/TargetMachine.h</tt>. The
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>TargetMachine</tt> class implementation (<tt>TargetMachine.cpp</tt>) also
|
|
|
|
|
processes numerous command-line options.

|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To create a concrete target-specific subclass of <tt>LLVMTargetMachine</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
start by copying an existing <tt>TargetMachine</tt> class and header. You
|
|
|
|
|
should name the files that you create to reflect your specific target. For
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
instance, for the SPARC target, name the files <tt>SparcTargetMachine.h</tt> and
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>SparcTargetMachine.cpp</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For a target machine <tt>XXX</tt>, the implementation of
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>XXXTargetMachine</tt> must have access methods to obtain objects that
|
|
|
|
|
represent target components. These methods are named <tt>get*Info</tt>, and are
|
|
|
|
|
intended to obtain the instruction set (<tt>getInstrInfo</tt>), register set
|
|
|
|
|
(<tt>getRegisterInfo</tt>), stack frame layout (<tt>getFrameInfo</tt>), and
|
|
|
|
|
similar information. <tt>XXXTargetMachine</tt> must also implement the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>getTargetData</tt> method to access an object with target-specific data
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics, such as data type size and alignment requirements.

|
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, for the SPARC target, the header file
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>SparcTargetMachine.h</tt> declares prototypes for several <tt>get*Info</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>getTargetData</tt> methods that simply return a class member.

You must also register your target with the <tt>TargetRegistry</tt>, which is
|
|
|
|
|
what other LLVM tools use to be able to lookup and use your target at
|
|
|
|
|
runtime. The <tt>TargetRegistry</tt> can be used directly, but for most targets

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
All targets should declare a global <tt>Target</tt> object which is used to
|
|
|
|
|
represent the target during registration. Then, in the target's TargetInfo
|
|
|
|
|
library, the target should define that object and use
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>RegisterTarget</tt> template to register the target. For example, the Sparc registration code looks like this:

This allows the <tt>TargetRegistry</tt> to look up the target by name or by

target triple. In addition, most targets will also register additional features
|
|
|
|
|
which are available in separate libraries. These registration steps are

|
|
|
|
separate, because some clients may wish to only link in some parts of the target

-- the JIT code generator does not require the use of the assembler printer, for
|
|
|
|
|
example. Here is an example of registering the Sparc assembly printer:

You should describe a concrete target-specific class that represents the
|
|
|
|
|
register file of a target machine. This class is called <tt>XXXRegisterInfo</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
(where <tt>XXX</tt> identifies the target) and represents the class register
|
|
|
|
|
file data that is used for register allocation. It also describes the
|
|
|
|
|
interactions between registers.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You also need to define register classes to categorize related registers. A
|
|
|
|
|
register class should be added for groups of registers that are all treated the
|
|
|
|
|
same way for some instruction. Typical examples are register classes for
|
|
|
|
|
integer, floating-point, or vector registers. A register allocator allows an
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
instruction to use any register in a specified register class to perform the
|
|
|
|
|
instruction in a similar manner. Register classes allocate virtual registers to
|
|
|
|
|
instructions from these sets, and register classes let the target-independent
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
register allocator automatically choose the actual registers.
|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Much of the code for registers, including register definition, register aliases,
|
|
|
|
|
and register classes, is generated by TableGen from <tt>XXXRegisterInfo.td</tt>

The <tt>XXXRegisterInfo.td</tt> file typically starts with register definitions
|
|
|
|
|
for a target machine. The <tt>Register</tt> class (specified
|
|
|
|

in <tt>Target.td</tt>) is used to define an object for each register. The
|
|
|
|
|
specified string <tt>n</tt> becomes the <tt>Name</tt> of the register. The
|
|
|
|
|
basic <tt>Register</tt> object does not have any subregisters and does not
|
|
|
|
|
specify any aliases.

This defines the register <tt>AL</tt> and assigns it values (with

<tt>DwarfRegNum</tt>) that are used by <tt>gcc</tt>, <tt>gdb</tt>, or a debug

information writer (such as <tt>DwarfWriter</tt>
|

|

in <tt>llvm/lib/CodeGen/AsmPrinter</tt>) to identify a register. For register

|
|

<tt>AL</tt>, <tt>DwarfRegNum</tt> takes an array of 3 values representing 3

different modes: the first element is for X86-64, the second for exception
|

handling (EH) on X86-32, and the third is generic. -1 is a special Dwarf number

that indicates the gcc number is undefined, and -2 indicates the register number

is invalid for this mode.

TableGen uses the entire target description file (<tt>.td</tt>) to determine

|
|
|
text names for the register (in the <tt>AsmName</tt> and <tt>Name</tt> fields of
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>TargetRegisterDesc</tt>) and the relationships of other registers to the
|
|
|
|
|
defined register (in the other <tt>TargetRegisterDesc</tt> fields). In this
|
|
|
|
|
example, other definitions establish the registers "<tt>AX</tt>",
|
|
|
|
|
"<tt>EAX</tt>", and "<tt>RAX</tt>" as aliases for one another, so TableGen
|
|
|
|
|
generates a null-terminated array (<tt>AL_AliasSet</tt>) for this register alias
|
|
|
|
|
set.

SPARC: a Register subclass, SparcReg, and further subclasses: <tt>Ri</tt>,

|

2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00

<ul>

2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00

<li>The first argument of the definition is the name of the namespace.</li>

|
|
<li>The second argument is a list of <tt>ValueType</tt> register type values
|
|
|
|
|
that are defined in <tt>include/llvm/CodeGen/ValueTypes.td</tt>. Defined
|
|
|
|
|
values include integer types (such as <tt>i16</tt>, <tt>i32</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>i1</tt> for Boolean), floating-point types
|
|

must have the same <tt>ValueType</tt>, but some registers may store vector
|
|

data in different configurations. For example a register that can process a

128-bit vector may be able to handle 16 8-bit integer elements, 8 16-bit

In <tt>SparcRegisterInfo.td</tt>, three RegisterClass objects are defined:
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>FPRegs</tt>, <tt>DFPRegs</tt>, and <tt>IntRegs</tt>. For all three register
|
|
|
|
|
classes, the first argument defines the namespace with the string
|
|
|
|
|
'<tt>SP</tt>'. <tt>FPRegs</tt> defines a group of 32 single-precision
|
|
|
|
|
floating-point registers (<tt>F0</tt> to <tt>F31</tt>); <tt>DFPRegs</tt> defines
|
|
|
|
|
a group of 16 double-precision registers
|
|
|
|
|
(<tt>D0-D15</tt>). For <tt>IntRegs</tt>, the <tt>MethodProtos</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>MethodBodies</tt> methods are used by TableGen to insert the specified
|
|
|
|
|
code into generated output.

Using <tt>SparcRegisterInfo.td</tt> with TableGen generates several output files
|
|
|
|
|
that are intended for inclusion in other source code that you write.
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>SparcRegisterInfo.td</tt> generates <tt>SparcGenRegisterInfo.h.inc</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
which should be included in the header file for the implementation of the SPARC
|
|
|
|
|
register implementation that you write (<tt>SparcRegisterInfo.h</tt>). In
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>SparcGenRegisterInfo.h.inc</tt> a new structure is defined called
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>SparcGenRegisterInfo</tt> that uses <tt>TargetRegisterInfo</tt> as its
|
|
|
|

base. It also specifies types, based upon the defined register
|
|
|

classes: <tt>DFPRegsClass</tt>, <tt>FPRegsClass</tt>, and <tt>IntRegsClass</tt>.

which is included at the bottom of <tt>SparcRegisterInfo.cpp</tt>, the SPARC
|
|
|
|
|
register implementation. The code below shows only the generated integer
|
|
|
|

registers and associated register classes. The order of registers
|
|
|
|

in <tt>IntRegs</tt> reflects the order in the definition of <tt>IntRegs</tt> in

the target description file. Take special note of the use

During the early stages of code generation, the LLVM IR code is converted to a
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>SelectionDAG</tt> with nodes that are instances of the <tt>SDNode</tt> class
|
|
|
|
|
containing target instructions. An <tt>SDNode</tt> has an opcode, operands, type
|
|
|
|
|
requirements, and operation properties. For example, is an operation
|
|
|
|
|
commutative, does an operation load from memory. The various operation node
|
|
|
|
|
types are described in the <tt>include/llvm/CodeGen/SelectionDAGNodes.h</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
file (values of the <tt>NodeType</tt> enum in the <tt>ISD</tt> namespace).

A <tt>SelectionDAG</tt> node (<tt>SDNode</tt>) should contain an object
|
|
|
|
|
representing a target-specific instruction that is defined
|
|
|
|
|
in <tt>XXXInstrInfo.td</tt>. The instruction objects should represent
|
|
|
|
|
instructions from the architecture manual of the target machine (such as the
|
|
|
|
|
SPARC Architecture Manual for the SPARC target).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
A single instruction from the architecture manual is often modeled as multiple
|
|
|
|
|
target instructions, depending upon its operands. For example, a manual might
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
describe an add instruction that takes a register or an immediate operand. An
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
LLVM target could model this with two instructions named <tt>ADDri</tt> and
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>ADDrr</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You should define a class for each instruction category and define each opcode
|
|
|
|
|
as a subclass of the category with appropriate parameters such as the fixed
|
|
|
|
|
binary encoding of opcodes and extended opcodes. You should map the register
|
|
|
|
|
bits to the bits of the instruction in which they are encoded (for the
|
|
|
|
|
JIT). Also you should specify how the instruction should be printed when the
|
|
|
|
|
automatic assembly printer is used.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
As is described in the SPARC Architecture Manual, Version 8, there are three
|
|
|
|
|
major 32-bit formats for instructions. Format 1 is only for the <tt>CALL</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
instruction. Format 2 is for branch on condition codes and <tt>SETHI</tt> (set
|
|
|
|
|
high bits of a register) instructions. Format 3 is for other instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Each of these formats has corresponding classes in <tt>SparcInstrFormat.td</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>InstSP</tt> is a base class for other instruction classes. Additional base
|
|
|
|
|
classes are specified for more precise formats: for example
|
|
|
|
|
in <tt>SparcInstrFormat.td</tt>, <tt>F2_1</tt> is for <tt>SETHI</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>F2_2</tt> is for branches. There are three other base
|
|
|
|
|
classes: <tt>F3_1</tt> for register/register operations, <tt>F3_2</tt> for
|
|
|
|
|
register/immediate operations, and <tt>F3_3</tt> for floating-point
|
|
|
|
|
operations. <tt>SparcInstrInfo.td</tt> also adds the base class Pseudo for
|
|
|
|
|
synthetic SPARC instructions.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>SparcInstrInfo.td</tt> largely consists of operand and instruction
|
|
|
|
|
definitions for the SPARC target. In <tt>SparcInstrInfo.td</tt>, the following
|
|
|
|
|
target description file entry, <tt>LDrr</tt>, defines the Load Integer
|
|
|
|
|
instruction for a Word (the <tt>LD</tt> SPARC opcode) from a memory address to a
|
|
|
|
|
register. The first parameter, the value 3 (<tt>11<sub>2</sub></tt>), is the
|
|
|
|
|
operation value for this category of operation. The second parameter
|
|
|
|
|
(<tt>000000<sub>2</sub></tt>) is the specific operation value
|
|
|
|
|
for <tt>LD</tt>/Load Word. The third parameter is the output destination, which
|
|
|
|
|
is a register operand and defined in the <tt>Register</tt> target description
|
|
|
|
|
file (<tt>IntRegs</tt>).

Instruction class definitions are not overloaded for different operand types, so
|
|
|
|
|
separate versions of instructions are needed for register, memory, or immediate
|
|
|
|
|
value operands. For example, to perform a Load Integer instruction for a Word
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
from an immediate operand to a register, the following instruction class is
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
defined:

Writing these definitions for so many similar instructions can involve a lot of

|
|
|

cut and paste. In td files, the <tt>multiclass</tt> directive enables the
|
|
|
|
|
creation of templates to define several instruction classes at once (using
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>defm</tt> directive). For example in <tt>SparcInstrInfo.td</tt>, the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>multiclass</tt> pattern <tt>F3_12</tt> is defined to create 2 instruction
|

classes each time <tt>F3_12</tt> is invoked:

The code generator backend maps instruction operands to fields in the

example, the Sparc target defines the <tt>XNORrr</tt> instruction as

a <tt>F3_1</tt> format instruction having three operands.

Performance can be improved by combining instructions or by eliminating
|
|
|
|
|
instructions that are never reached. The <tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> method
|
|
|
|
|
in <tt>XXXInstrInfo</tt> may be implemented to examine conditional instructions
|
|
|
|
|
and remove unnecessary instructions. <tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> looks at the end of
|
|
|
|
|
a machine basic block (MBB) for opportunities for improvement, such as branch
|
|
|
|
|
folding and if conversion. The <tt>BranchFolder</tt> and <tt>IfConverter</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
machine function passes (see the source files <tt>BranchFolding.cpp</tt> and

|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00

<tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> to improve the control flow graph that represents the

Several implementations of <tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> (for ARM, Alpha, and X86) can

In the simplest case, if a block ends without a branch, then it falls through to

|
the successor block. No destination blocks are specified for either <tt>TBB</tt>

or <tt>FBB</tt>, so both parameters return <tt>NULL</tt>. The start of

For the last two cases (ending with a single conditional branch or ending with
|
|
|
|
|
one conditional and one unconditional branch), the operands returned in
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>Cond</tt> parameter can be passed to methods of other instructions to
|
|
|
|
|
create new branches or perform other operations. An implementation
|
|
|
|
|
of <tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> requires the helper methods <tt>RemoveBranch</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>InsertBranch</tt> to manage subsequent operations.

<p>

<tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> should return false indicating success in most circumstances.

|
|
|
<tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> should only return true when the method is stumped about what to

do, for example, if a block has three terminating branches. <tt>AnalyzeBranch</tt> may

return true if it encounters a terminator it cannot handle, such as an indirect

branch.

LLVM uses a <tt>SelectionDAG</tt> to represent LLVM IR instructions, and nodes
|
|
|
|
|
of the <tt>SelectionDAG</tt> ideally represent native target
|
|
|
|
|
instructions. During code generation, instruction selection passes are performed
|
|
|
|
|
to convert non-native DAG instructions into native target-specific
|
|
|
|
|
instructions. The pass described in <tt>XXXISelDAGToDAG.cpp</tt> is used to
|
|
|
|
|
match patterns and perform DAG-to-DAG instruction selection. Optionally, a pass
|
|
|
|
|
may be defined (in <tt>XXXBranchSelector.cpp</tt>) to perform similar DAG-to-DAG
|
|
|
|
|
operations for branch instructions. Later, the code in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>XXXISelLowering.cpp</tt> replaces or removes operations and data types not
|
|
|
|
|
supported natively (legalizes) in a <tt>SelectionDAG</tt>.

TableGen generates code for instruction selection using the following target

The implementation of an instruction selection pass must include a header that
|
|
|
|
|
declares the <tt>FunctionPass</tt> class or a subclass of <tt>FunctionPass</tt>. In
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>XXXTargetMachine.cpp</tt>, a Pass Manager (PM) should add each instruction
|
|
|
|
|
selection pass into the queue of passes to run.

The LLVM static compiler (<tt>llc</tt>) is an excellent tool for visualizing the
|
|
|
|
|
contents of DAGs. To display the <tt>SelectionDAG</tt> before or after specific
|
|
|
|
|
processing phases, use the command line options for <tt>llc</tt>, described
|
|
|
|
|
at <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/CodeGenerator.html#selectiondag_process">

To describe instruction selector behavior, you should add patterns for lowering
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM code into a <tt>SelectionDAG</tt> as the last parameter of the instruction
|
|
|
|
|
definitions in <tt>XXXInstrInfo.td</tt>. For example, in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>SparcInstrInfo.td</tt>, this entry defines a register store operation, and
|
|
|
|
|
the last parameter describes a pattern with the store DAG operator.

The Legalize phase converts a DAG to use types and operations that are natively
|
|
|
|
|
supported by the target. For natively unsupported types and operations, you need
|
|
|
|
|
to add code to the target-specific XXXTargetLowering implementation to convert
|
|
|
|
|
unsupported types and operations to supported ones.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In the constructor for the <tt>XXXTargetLowering</tt> class, first use the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>addRegisterClass</tt> method to specify which types are supports and which
|
|
|
|
|
register classes are associated with them. The code for the register classes are
|
|
|
|
|
generated by TableGen from <tt>XXXRegisterInfo.td</tt> and placed
|
|
|
|
|
in <tt>XXXGenRegisterInfo.h.inc</tt>. For example, the implementation of the
|
|
|
|
|
constructor for the SparcTargetLowering class (in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>SparcISelLowering.cpp</tt>) starts with the following code:

For an operation without native support for a given type, the specified type may
|
|
|
|
|
be promoted to a larger type that is supported. For example, SPARC does not
|
|
|
|
|
support a sign-extending load for Boolean values (<tt>i1</tt> type), so
|
|
|
|
|
in <tt>SparcISelLowering.cpp</tt> the third parameter below, <tt>Promote</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
changes <tt>i1</tt> type values to a large type before loading.

For a type without native support, a value may need to be broken down further,
|
|
|
|
|
rather than promoted. For an operation without native support, a combination of
|
|
|
|
|
other operations may be used to similar effect. In SPARC, the floating-point
|
|
|
|
|
sine and cosine trig operations are supported by expansion to other operations,
|
|
|
|
|
as indicated by the third parameter, <tt>Expand</tt>, to

For some operations, simple type promotion or operation expansion may be

|

|
insufficient. In some cases, a special intrinsic function must be implemented.

For example, a constant value may require special treatment, or an operation may

require spilling and restoring registers in the stack and working with register
|
|
|
|

allocators.

During the code emission stage, the code generator may utilize an LLVM pass to

|
|
|
|
produce assembly output. To do this, you want to implement the code for a
|
|
|
|
|
printer that converts LLVM IR to a GAS-format assembly language for your target
|
|
|
|
|
machine, using the following steps:

Subtarget support is used to inform the code generation process of instruction
|
|
|
|
|
set variations for a given chip set. For example, the LLVM SPARC implementation
|
|
|
|
|
provided covers three major versions of the SPARC microprocessor architecture:
|
|
|
|
|
Version 8 (V8, which is a 32-bit architecture), Version 9 (V9, a 64-bit
|
|
|
|
|
architecture), and the UltraSPARC architecture. V8 has 16 double-precision
|
|
|
|
|
floating-point registers that are also usable as either 32 single-precision or 8
|
|
|
|
|
quad-precision registers. V8 is also purely big-endian. V9 has 32
|
|
|
|
|
double-precision floating-point registers that are also usable as 16
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
quad-precision registers, but cannot be used as single-precision registers. The
|
|
|
|
|
UltraSPARC architecture combines V9 with UltraSPARC Visual Instruction Set
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
extensions.

If subtarget support is needed, you should implement a target-specific
|
|
|
|
|
XXXSubtarget class for your architecture. This class should process the
|
|
|
|
|
command-line options <tt>-mcpu=</tt> and <tt>-mattr=</tt>.

TableGen uses definitions in the <tt>Target.td</tt> and <tt>Sparc.td</tt> files
|
|
|
|
|
to generate code in <tt>SparcGenSubtarget.inc</tt>. In <tt>Target.td</tt>, shown
|
|
|
|
|
below, the <tt>SubtargetFeature</tt> interface is defined. The first 4 string
|
|
|
|
|
parameters of the <tt>SubtargetFeature</tt> interface are a feature name, an
|
|
|
|
|
attribute set by the feature, the value of the attribute, and a description of
|
|
|
|
|
the feature. (The fifth parameter is a list of features whose presence is
|
|
|
|
|
implied, and its default value is an empty array.)

The implementation of a target machine optionally includes a Just-In-Time (JIT)

|
|
|
code generator that emits machine code and auxiliary structures as binary output
|
|
|
|
|
that can be written directly to memory. To do this, implement JIT code

|
|
|

generation by performing the following steps:

There are several different approaches to writing the JIT support code. For
|
|
|
|
|
instance, TableGen and target descriptor files may be used for creating a JIT
|
|
|
|
|
code generator, but are not mandatory. For the Alpha and PowerPC target
|
|
|
|
|
machines, TableGen is used to generate <tt>XXXGenCodeEmitter.inc</tt>, which
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
contains the binary coding of machine instructions and the
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>getBinaryCodeForInstr</tt> method to access those codes. Other JIT
|
|
|
|
|
implementations do not.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|

Both <tt>XXXJITInfo.cpp</tt> and <tt>XXXCodeEmitter.cpp</tt> must include the
|
|
|
|

<tt>llvm/CodeGen/MachineCodeEmitter.h</tt> header file that defines the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>MachineCodeEmitter</tt> class containing code for several callback functions
|
|
|
|
|
that write data (in bytes, words, strings, etc.) to the output stream.

In <tt>XXXCodeEmitter.cpp</tt>, a target-specific of the <tt>Emitter</tt> class
|
|
|

is implemented as a function pass (subclass

|
|
|

of <tt>runOnMachineFunction</tt> (invoked by

|
|
<tt>runOnFunction</tt> in <tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt>) iterates through the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>MachineBasicBlock</tt> calls <tt>emitInstruction</tt> to process each
|
|
|
|

instruction and emit binary code. <tt>emitInstruction</tt> is largely
|
|
|
|
|
implemented with case statements on the instruction types defined in

|
|
|
<tt>XXXInstrInfo.h</tt>. For example, in <tt>X86CodeEmitter.cpp</tt>,

the <tt>emitInstruction</tt> method is built around the following switch/case

The implementations of these case statements often first emit the opcode and
|
|
|
|
|
then get the operand(s). Then depending upon the operand, helper methods may be
|
|
|
|
|
called to process the operand(s). For example, in <tt>X86CodeEmitter.cpp</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
for the <tt>X86II::AddRegFrm</tt> case, the first data emitted
|
|
|
|
|
(by <tt>emitByte</tt>) is the opcode added to the register operand. Then an
|
|
|
|
|
object representing the machine operand, <tt>MO1</tt>, is extracted. The helper
|
|
|
|
|
methods such as <tt>isImmediate</tt>,
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>isGlobalAddress</tt>, <tt>isExternalSymbol</tt>, <tt>isConstantPoolIndex</tt>, and
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|

<tt>isJumpTableIndex</tt> determine the operand
|

type. (<tt>X86CodeEmitter.cpp</tt> also has private methods such

|
|
|

as <tt>emitConstant</tt>, <tt>emitGlobalAddress</tt>,

In the previous example, <tt>XXXCodeEmitter.cpp</tt> uses the
|
|
|
|
|
variable <tt>rt</tt>, which is a RelocationType enum that may be used to
|
|
|
|
|
relocate addresses (for example, a global address with a PIC base offset). The
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>RelocationType</tt> enum for that target is defined in the short
|
|
|
|
|
target-specific <tt>XXXRelocations.h</tt> file. The <tt>RelocationType</tt> is used by
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>relocate</tt> method defined in <tt>XXXJITInfo.cpp</tt> to rewrite
|
|
|
|
|
addresses for referenced global symbols.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For example, <tt>X86Relocations.h</tt> specifies the following relocation types
|
|
|
|
|
for the X86 addresses. In all four cases, the relocated value is added to the
|
|
|
|
|
value already in memory. For <tt>reloc_pcrel_word</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>reloc_picrel_word</tt>, there is an additional initial adjustment.

<tt>getLazyResolverFunction</tt> is generally trivial to implement. It makes the
|
|
|
|
|
incoming parameter as the global <tt>JITCompilerFunction</tt> and returns the
|
2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00
|
|
|
callback function that will be used a function wrapper. For the Alpha target
|
2009-04-05 00:41:19 +00:00
|
|
|
(in <tt>AlphaJITInfo.cpp</tt>), the <tt>getLazyResolverFunction</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
implementation is simply:

|
|
|

TargetJITInfo::LazyResolverFn AlphaJITInfo::getLazyResolverFunction(

JITCompilerFn F) {

2008-11-11 19:30:41 +00:00

|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For the X86 target, the <tt>getLazyResolverFunction</tt> implementation is a
|
|
|
|
|
little more complication, because it returns a different callback function for
|
|
|
|
|
processors with SSE instructions and XMM registers.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The callback function initially saves and later restores the callee register
|
|
|
|
|
values, incoming arguments, and frame and return address. The callback function
|
|
|
|
|
needs low-level access to the registers or stack, so it is typically implemented
|
|
|
|
|
with assembler.
