When PPCEarlyReturn, it should really copy implicit ops from the old return
instruction to the new one. This currently does not matter much, because we run
PPCEarlyReturn very late in the pipeline (there is nothing to do DCE on
definitions of those registers). However, for completeness, we should do it
anyway.
Noticed by inspection (and there should be no functional change); thus, no
test case.

The VSX store instructions were also picking up an implicit "may read" from the
default pattern, which was an intrinsic (and we don't currently have a way of
specifying write-only intrinsics).
This was causing MI verification to fail for VSX spill restores.

isel is actually a cracked instruction on the P7/P8, and must start a dispatch
group. The scheduling model should reflect this so that we don't bunch too many
of them together when possible.

The TOC base pointer is passed in r2, and we normally reserve this register so
that we can depend on it being there. However, for leaf functions, and
specifically those leaf functions that don't do any TOC access of their own
(which is generally due to accessing the constant pool, using TLS, etc.),
we can treat r2 as an ordinary callee-saved register (it must be callee-saved
because, for local direct calls, the linker will not insert any save/restore
code).
The allocation order has been changed slightly for PPC64/ELF systems to put r2
at the end of the list (while leaving it near the beginning for Darwin systems
to prevent unnecessary output changes). While r2 is allocatable, using it still
requires spill/restore traffic, and thus comes at the end of the list.

now that we have a correct and cached subtarget specific to the
function.
Also, finish providing a cached per-function subtarget in the core
LLVMTargetMachine -- that layer hadn't switched over yet.
The only use of the TargetMachine was to re-lookup a subtarget for
a particular function to work around the fact that TTI was immutable.
Now that it is per-function and we haved a cached subtarget, use it.
This still leaves a few interfaces with real warts on them where we were
passing Function objects through the TTI interface. I'll remove these
and clean their usage up in subsequent commits now that this isn't
necessary.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@227738 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
intermediate TTI implementation template and instead query up to the
derived class for both the TargetMachine and the TargetLowering.
Most of the derived types had a TLI cached already and there is no need
to store a less precisely typed target machine pointer.
This will in turn make it much cleaner to look up the TLI via
a per-function subtarget instead of the generic subtarget, and it will
pave the way toward pulling the subtarget used for unroll preferences
into the same form once we are *always* using the function to look up
the correct subtarget.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@227737 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
TargetIRAnalysis access path directly rather than implementing getTTI.
This even removes getTTI from the interface. It's more efficient for
each target to just register a precise callback that creates their
specific TTI.
As part of this, all of the targets which are building their subtargets
individually per-function now build their TTI instance with the function
and thus look up the correct subtarget and cache it. NVPTX, R600, and
XCore currently don't leverage this functionality, but its trivial for
them to add it now.

null.
For some reason some of the original TTI code supported a null target
machine. This seems to have been legacy, and I made matters worse when
refactoring this code by spreading that pattern further through the
various targets.
The TargetMachine can't actually be null, and it doesn't make sense to
support that use case. I've now consistently removed it and removed all
of the code trying to cope with that situation. This is probably good,
as several targets *didn't* cope with it being null despite the null
default argument in their constructors. =]
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@227734 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
base which it adds a single analysis pass to, to instead return the type
erased TargetTransformInfo object constructed for that TargetMachine.
This removes all of the pass variants for TTI. There is now a single TTI
*pass* in the Analysis layer. All of the Analysis <-> Target
communication is through the TTI's type erased interface itself. While
the diff is large here, it is nothing more that code motion to make
types available in a header file for use in a different source file
within each target.
I've tried to keep all the doxygen comments and file boilerplate in line
with this move, but let me know if I missed anything.
With this in place, the next step to making TTI work with the new pass
manager is to introduce a really simple new-style analysis that produces
a TTI object via a callback into this routine on the target machine.
Once we have that, we'll have the building blocks necessary to accept
a function argument as well.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@227685 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.
The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.
I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.
There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.
The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.
Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.
The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]
Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:
1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
the TTI in each target.
Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

Patch by Nemanja Ivanovic.
As was uncovered by the failing test case (when run on non-PPC
platforms), the feature set when compiling with -march=ppc64le was not
being picked up. This change ensures that if the -mcpu option is not
specified, the correct feature set is picked up regardless of whether
we are on PPC or not.

derived classes.
Since global data alignment, layout, and mangling is often based on the
DataLayout, move it to the TargetMachine. This ensures that global
data is going to be layed out and mangled consistently if the subtarget
changes on a per function basis. Prior to this all targets(*) have
had subtarget dependent code moved out and onto the TargetMachine.
*One target hasn't been migrated as part of this change: R600. The
R600 port has, as a subtarget feature, the size of pointers and
this affects global data layout. I've currently hacked in a FIXME
to enable progress, but the port needs to be updated to either pass
the 64-bitness to the TargetMachine, or fix the DataLayout to
avoid subtarget dependent features.

Test by Nemanja Ivanovic.
Since ppc64le implies POWER8 as a minimum, it makes sense that the
same features are included. Since the pwr8 processor model will likely
be getting new features until the implementation is complete, I
created a new list to add these updates to. This will include them in
both pwr8 and ppc64le.
Furthermore, it seems that it would make sense to compose the feature
lists for other processor models (pwr3 and up). Per discussion in the
review, I will make this change in a subsequent patch.
In order to test the changes, I've added an additional run step to
test cases that specify -march=ppc64le -mcpu=pwr8 to omit the -mcpu
option. Since the feature lists are the same, the behaviour should be
unchanged.

The fixes are to note that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local
relocations can be used. In particular, ld64 requires that relocations to
cstring/cfstrings use linker visible symbols.
Original message:
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

We don't need to exclude patchpoints from the implicit r2 dependence in
FastISel because it is added as an implicit operand and, thus, should not
confuse that StackMap code.
By inspection / no test case.

Our PPC64 ELF V2 call lowering logic added r2 as an operand to all direct call
instructions in order to represent the dependency on the TOC base pointer
value. Restricting this to ELF V2, however, does not seem to make sense: calls
under ELF V1 have the same dependence, and indirect calls have an r2 dependence
just as direct ones. Make sure the dependence is noted for all calls under both
ELF V1 and ELF V2.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@226432 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Instructions that have high-order TOC relocations always carry R2 as their base
register, so it does not matter whether we take the register from the
instruction or just hard-code it in PPCAsmPrinter. In the future, however, we
might want to apply these relocations to instructions using a different
register, so taking the register from the instruction is a better thing to do.
No change in functionality here, however.

So we don't forget, once we support FPR <-> GPR moves on the P8, we'll likely
want to re-visit this part of the calling convention.

The default calling convention specified by the PPC64 ELF (V1 and V2) ABI is
designed to work with both prototyped and non-prototyped/varargs functions. As
a result, GPRs and stack space are allocated for every argument, even those
that are passed in floating-point or vector registers.
GlobalOpt::OptimizeFunctions will transform local non-varargs functions (that
do not have their address taken) to use the 'fast' calling convention.
When functions are using the 'fast' calling convention, don't allocate GPRs for
arguments passed in other types of registers, and don't allocate stack space for
arguments passed in registers. Other changes for the fast calling convention
may be added in the future.

R11's status is the same under both the PPC64 ELF V1 and V2 ABIs: it is
reserved for use as an "environment pointer" for compilation models that
require such a thing. We don't, we also don't need a second scratch register,
and because we support only "local" patchpoint call targets, we might as well
let R11 be used for anyregcc patchpoints.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@226369 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Bill Schmidt pointed out that some adjustments would be needed to properly
support powerpc64le (using the ELF V2 ABI). For one thing, R11 is not available
as a scratch register, so we need to use R12. R12 is also available under ELF
V1, so to maintain consistency, I flipped the order to make R12 the first
scratch register in the array under both ABIs.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@226247 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Function pointers under PPC64 ELFv1 (which is used on PPC64/Linux on the
POWER7, A2 and earlier cores) are really pointers to a function descriptor, a
structure with three pointers: the actual pointer to the code to which to jump,
the pointer to the TOC needed by the callee, and an environment pointer. We
used to chain these loads, and make them opaque to the rest of the optimizer,
so that they'd always occur directly before the call. This is not necessary,
and in fact, highly suboptimal on embedded cores. Once the function pointer is
known, the loads can be performed ahead of time; in fact, they can be hoisted
out of loops.
Now these function descriptors are almost always generated by the linker, and
thus the contents of the descriptors are invariant. As a result, by default,
we'll mark the associated loads as invariant (allowing them to be hoisted out
of loops). I've added a target feature to turn this off, however, just in case
someone needs that option (constructing an on-stack descriptor, casting it to a
function pointer, and then calling it cannot be well-defined C/C++ code, but I
can imagine some JIT-compilation system doing so).
Consider this simple test:
$ cat call.c
typedef void (*fp)();
void bar(fp x) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1600000000; ++i)
x();
}
$ cat main.c
typedef void (*fp)();
void bar(fp x);
void foo() {}
int main() {
bar(foo);
}
On the PPC A2 (the BG/Q supercomputer), marking the function-descriptor loads
as invariant brings the execution time down to ~8 seconds from ~32 seconds with
the loads in the loop.
The difference on the POWER7 is smaller. Compiling with:
gcc -std=c99 -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c : ~6 seconds [this is 4.8.2]
clang -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c : ~5.3 seconds
clang -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c -mno-invariant-function-descriptors : ~4 seconds
(looks like we'd benefit from additional loop unrolling here, as a first
guess, because this is faster with the extra loads)
The -mno-invariant-function-descriptors will be added to Clang shortly.

The pass is really just a means of accessing a cached instance of the
TargetLibraryInfo object, and this way we can re-use that object for the
new pass manager as its result.
Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the
result and pass for analyses.

While the term "Target" is in the name, it doesn't really have to do
with the LLVM Target library -- this isn't an abstraction which LLVM
targets generally need to implement or extend. It has much more to do
with modeling the various runtime libraries on different OSes and with
different runtime environments. The "target" in this sense is the more
general sense of a target of cross compilation.
This is in preparation for porting this analysis to the new pass
manager.
No functionality changed, and updates inbound for Clang and Polly.

Patch by Kit Barton.
Support for the ICBT instruction is currently present, but limited to
embedded processors. This change adds a new FeatureICBT that can be used
to identify whether the ICBT instruction is available on a specific processor.
Two new tests are added:
* Positive test to ensure the icbt instruction is present when using
-mcpu=pwr8
* Negative test to ensure the icbt instruction is not generated when
using -mcpu=pwr7
Both test cases use the Prefetch opcode in LLVM. They are based on the

This re-applies r225808, fixed to avoid problems with SDAG dependencies along

These problems caused the original regression tests to assert/segfault on many
(but not all) systems.
Original commit message:
This commit does two things:
1. Refactors PPCFastISel to use more of the common infrastructure for call
lowering (this lets us take advantage of this common code for lowering some
common intrinsics, stackmap/patchpoint among them).
2. Adds support for stackmap/patchpoint lowering. For the most part, this is
very similar to the support in the AArch64 target, with the obvious differences
(different registers, NOP instructions, etc.). The test cases are adapted
from the AArch64 test cases.
One difference of note is that the patchpoint call sequence takes 24 bytes, so
you can't use less than that (on AArch64 you can go down to 16). Also, as noted
in the docs, we take the patchpoint address to be the actual code address
(assuming the call is local in the TOC-sharing sense), which should yield
higher performance than generating the full cross-DSO indirect-call sequence
and is likely just as useful for JITed code (if not, we'll change it).
StackMaps and Patchpoints are still marked as experimental, and so this support
is doubly experimental. So go ahead and experiment!

This was already done in clang, this commit now uses the integrated
assembler as default when using LLVM tools directly.

We really need a separate 64-bit version of this instruction so that it can be
marked as clobbering LR8 (instead of just LR). No change in functionality
(although the verifier might be slightly happier), however, it is required for
stackmap/patchpoint support. Thus, this will be covered by stackmap test cases
once those are added.

One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.

the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

Looking at r225438 inspired me to see how the PowerPC backend handled the
situation (calling a bitcasted TLS global), and it turns out we also produced
an error (cannot select ...). What it means to "call" something that is not a
function is implementation and platform specific, but in the name of doing
something (besides crashing), this makes sure we do what GCC does (treat all
such calls as calls through a function pointer -- meaning that the pointer is
assumed, as is the convention on PPC, to point to a function descriptor
structure holding the actual code address along with the function's TOC pointer
and environment pointer). As GCC does, we now do the same for calling regular
(non-TLS) non-function globals too.
I'm not sure whether this is the most useful way to define the behavior, but at
least we won't be alone.

This initial implementation of PPCTargetLowering::isZExtFree marks as free
zexts of small scalar loads (that are not sign-extending). This callback is
used by SelectionDAGBuilder's RegsForValue::getCopyToRegs, and thus to
determine whether a zext or an anyext is used to lower illegally-typed PHIs.
Because later truncates of zero-extended values are nops, this allows for the
elimination of later unnecessary truncations.
Fixes the initial complaint associated with PR22120.
