This patch is a third attempt to properly handle the local-dynamic and
global-dynamic TLS models.
In my original implementation, calls to __tls_get_addr were hidden
from view until the asm-printer phase, at which point the underlying
branch-and-link instruction was created with proper relocations. This
mostly worked well, but I used some repellent techniques to ensure
that the TLS_GET_ADDR nodes at the SD and MI levels correctly received
input from GPR3 and produced output into GPR3. This proved to work
badly in the presence of multiple TLS variable accesses, with the
copies to and from GPR3 being scheduled incorrectly and generally
creating havoc.
In r221703, I addressed that problem by representing the calls to
__tls_get_addr as true calls during instruction lowering. This had
the advantage of removing all of the bad hacks and relying on the
existing call machinery to properly glue the copies in place. It
looked like this was going to be the right way to go.
However, as a side effect of the recent discovery of problems with
linker optimizations for TLS, we discovered cases of suboptimal code
generation with this strategy. The problem comes when tls_get_addr is
called for the same address, and there is a resulting CSE
opportunity. It turns out that in such cases MachineCSE will common
the addis/addi instructions that set up the input value to
tls_get_addr, but will not common the calls themselves. MachineCSE
does not have any machinery to common idempotent calls. This is
perfectly sensible, since presumably this would be done at the IR
level, and introducing calls in the back end isn't commonplace. In
any case, we end up with two calls to __tls_get_addr when one would
suffice, and that isn't good.
I presumed that the original design would have allowed commoning of
the machine-specific nodes that hid the __tls_get_addr calls, so as
suggested by Ulrich Weigand, I went back to that design and cleaned it
up so that the copies were properly held together by glue
nodes. However, it turned out that this didn't work either...the
presence of copies to physical registers kept the machine-specific
nodes from being commoned also.
All of which leads to the design presented here. This is a return to
the original design, except that no attempt is made to introduce
copies to and from GPR3 during instruction lowering. Virtual registers
are used until prior to register allocation. At that point, a special
pass is run that identifies the machine-specific nodes that hide the
tls_get_addr calls and introduces the copies to and from GPR3 around
them. The register allocator then coalesces these copies away. With
this design, MachineCSE succeeds in commoning tls_get_addr calls where
possible, and we get nice optimal code generation (better than GCC at
the moment, which does not common these calls).
One additional problem must be dealt with: After introducing the
mentions of the physical register GPR3, the aggressive anti-dependence
breaker sees opportunities to improve scheduling by selecting a
different register instead. Flags must be used on the instruction
descriptions to tell the anti-dependence breaker to keep its hands in
its pockets.
One thing missing from the original design was recording a definition
of the link register on the GET_TLS_ADDR nodes. Doing this was found
to be insufficient to force a stack frame to be created, which led to
looping behavior because two different LR values were stored at the
same address. This appears to have been an oversight in
PPCFrameLowering::determineFrameLayout(), which is repaired here.
Because MustSaveLR() returns true for calls to builtin_return_address,
this changed the expected behavior of
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/retaddr2.ll, which now stacks a frame but
formerly did not. I've fixed the test case to reflect this.
There are existing TLS tests to catch regressions; the checks in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/tls-store2.ll proved to be too restrictive in the
face of instruction scheduling with these changes, so I fixed that
up.
I've added a new test case based on the PrettyStackTrace module that
demonstrated the original problem. This checks that we get correct
code generation and that CSE of the calls to __get_tls_addr has taken
place.

The VSX store instructions were also picking up an implicit "may read" from the

isel is actually a cracked instruction on the P7/P8, and must start a dispatch

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.

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.

It appears we have different behavior with and without -mcpu=pwr8 even
with ppc64le defaulting to POWER8. The failure appears as follows:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
ppc64-prefetch.ll test case.

The form of nops used is CPU-specific (some CPUs, such as the POWER7, have
special group-terminating nops). We probably want a different callback for this
kind of nop insertion (something more like MCAsmBackend::writeNopData), or for
PPC to use a different mechanism for scheduling nops, but this will stop the
test from failing for now.

This re-applies r225808, fixed to avoid problems with SDAG dependencies along
with the preceding fix to ScheduleDAGSDNodes::RegDefIter::InitNodeNumDefs.
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!

A pass that adds random noops to X86 binaries to introduce diversity with the goal of increasing security against most return-oriented programming attacks.
Command line options:
-noop-insertion // Enable noop insertion.
-noop-insertion-percentage=X // X% of assembly instructions will have a noop prepended (default: 50%, requires -noop-insertion)
-max-noops-per-instruction=X // Randomly generate X noops per instruction. ie. roll the dice X times with probability set above (default: 1). This doesn't guarantee X noop instructions.
In addition, the following 'quick switch' in clang enables basic diversity using default settings (currently: noop insertion and schedule randomization; it is intended to be extended in the future).

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.

MachineLICM uses a callback named hasLowDefLatency to determine if an
instruction def operand has a 'low' latency. If all relevant operands have a
'low' latency, the instruction is considered too cheap to hoist out of loops
even in low-register-pressure situations. On PowerPC cores, both the embedded
cores and the others, there is no reason to believe that this is a good choice:
all instructions have a cost inside a loop, and hoisting them when not limited
by register pressure is a reasonable default.

int->fp conversions on PPC must be done through memory loads and stores. On a
modern core, this process begins by storing the int value to memory, then
loading it using a (sometimes special) FP load instruction. Unfortunately, we
would do this even when the value to be converted was itself a load, and we can
just use that same memory location instead of copying it to another first.
There is a slight complication when handling int_to_fp(fp_to_int(x)) pairs,
because the fp_to_int operand has not been lowered when the int_to_fp is being
lowered. We handle this specially by invoking fp_to_int's lowering logic
(partially) and getting the necessary memory location (some trivial refactoring
was done to make this possible).
This is all somewhat ugly, and it would be nice if some later CodeGen stage
could just clean this stuff up, but because doing so would involve modifying
target-specific nodes (or instructions), it is not immediately clear how that
would work.
Also, remove a related entry from the README.txt for which we now generate

peephole optimization as frontier instructions for the removal of unnecessary
zero extensions.

PPC has an instruction for ctlz with defined zero behavior, and our lowering of
cttz (provided by DAGCombine) is also efficient and branchless, so speculating
these makes sense.

r225135 added the ability to materialize i64 constants using rotations in order
to reduce the instruction count. Sometimes we can use a rotation only with some
extra masking, so that we take advantage of the fact that generating a bunch of
extra higher-order 1 bits is easy using li/lis.

Materializing full 64-bit constants on PPC64 can be expensive, requiring up to
5 instructions depending on the locations of the non-zero bits. Sometimes
materializing a rotated constant, and then applying the inverse rotation, requires
fewer instructions than the direct method. If so, do that instead.
In r225132, I added support for forming constants using bit inversion. In
effect, this reverts that commit and replaces it with rotation support. The bit
inversion is useful for turning constants that are mostly ones into ones that
are mostly zeros (thus enabling a more-efficient shift-based materialization),
but the same effect can be obtained by using negative constants and a rotate,
and that is at least as efficient, if not more.

Materializing full 64-bit constants on PPC64 can be expensive, requiring up to
5 instructions depending on the locations of the non-zero bits. Sometimes
materializing the bit-reversed constant, and then flipping the bits, requires
fewer instructions than the direct method. If so, do that instead.

The existing code provided for specifying a global loop alignment preference.
However, the preferred loop alignment might depend on the loop itself. For
recent POWER cores, loops between 5 and 8 instructions should have 32-byte
alignment (while the others are better with 16-byte alignment) so that the
entire loop will fit in one i-cache line.
To support this, getPrefLoopAlignment has been made virtual, and can be
provided with an optional MachineLoop* so the target can inspect the loop
before answering the query. The default behavior, as before, is to return the
value set with setPrefLoopAlignment. MachineBlockPlacement now queries the
target for each loop instead of only once per function. There should be no
functional change for other targets.

Most modern PowerPC cores prefer that functions and loops start on
16-byte-aligned boundaries (*), so instruct block placement, etc. to make this
happen. The branch selector has also been adjusted so account for the extra
nops that might now be inserted before loop headers.
(*) Some cores actually prefer other alignments for small loops, but that will
be addressed in a follow-up commit.

Newer POWER cores, and the A2, support the cmpb instruction. This instruction
compares its operands, treating each of the 8 bytes in the GPRs separately,
returning a 'mask' result of 0 (for false) or -1 (for true) in each byte.
Code generation support is added, in the form of a PPCISelDAGToDAG
DAG-preprocessing routine, that recognizes patterns close to what the
instruction computes (either exactly, or related by a constant masking
operation), and generates the cmpb instruction (along with any necessary
constant masking operation). This can be expanded if use cases arise.
