A setting in MCAsmInfo defines the "assembler dialect" to use. This is used
by common code to choose between alternatives in a multi-alternative GNU
inline asm statement like the following:
__asm__ ("{sfe|subfe} %0,%1,%2" : "=r" (out) : "r" (in1), "r" (in2));
The meaning of these dialects is platform specific, and GCC defines those
for PowerPC to use dialect 0 for old-style (POWER) mnemonics and 1 for
new-style (PowerPC) mnemonics, like in the example above.
To be compatible with inline asm used with GCC, LLVM ought to do the same.
Specifically, this means we should always use assembler dialect 1 since
old-style mnemonics really aren't supported on any current platform.
However, the current LLVM back-end uses:
AssemblerDialect = 1; // New-Style mnemonics.
in PPCMCAsmInfoDarwin, and
AssemblerDialect = 0; // Old-Style mnemonics.
in PPCLinuxMCAsmInfo.
The Linux setting really isn't correct, we should be using new-style
mnemonics everywhere. This is changed by this commit.
Unfortunately, the setting of this variable is overloaded in the back-end
to decide whether or not we are on a Darwin target. This is done in
PPCInstPrinter (the "SyntaxVariant" is initialized from the MCAsmInfo
AssemblerDialect setting), and also in PPCMCExpr. Setting AssemblerDialect
to 1 for both Darwin and Linux no longer allows us to make this distinction.
Instead, this patch uses the MCSubtargetInfo passed to createPPCMCInstPrinter
to distinguish Darwin targets, and ignores the SyntaxVariant parameter.
As to PPCMCExpr, this patch adds an explicit isDarwin argument that needs
to be passed in by the caller when creating a target MCExpr. (To do so
this patch implicitly also reverts commit 184441.)

As part of the global-dynamic and local-dynamic TLS sequences, we need
to use a special form of the call instruction:
bl __tls_get_addr(sym@tlsld)
bl __tls_get_addr(sym@tlsgd)
which generates two fixups. The current implementation of this causes
problems with recognizing this form in the asm parser. To fix this,
this patch reworks operand processing for this special form by using
a single operand to hold both __tls_get_addr and sym@tlsld and defining
a print method to output the above form, and an encoding method to
generate the two fixups.
As a side simplification, the patch replaces the two instruction
patterns BL8_NOP_TLSGD and BL8_NOP_TLSLD by a single BL8_NOP_TLS,
since the patterns already operate in an identical fashion (whether
we have a local-dynamic or global-dynamic symbol is already encoded
in the symbol modifier).
No change in code generation intended.

Currently, all instructions taking s16imm operands support symbolic
operands. However, for u16imm operands, we only support actual
immediate integers. This causes the assembler to reject code like
ori %r5, %r5, symbol@l
This patch changes the u16imm operand definition to likewise
accept symbolic operands. In fact, s16imm and u16imm can
share the same encoding routine, now renamed to getImm16Encoding.

This adds support for the predicted forms of branches (+/-).
There are three cases to consider:
- Branches using a PPC::Predicate code
For these, I've added new PPC::Predicate codes corresponding
to the BO values for predicted branch forms, and updated insn
printing to print them correctly. I've also added new aliases
for the asm parser matching the new forms.
- bt/bf
I've added new aliases matching to gBC etc.
- bd(n)z variants
I've added new instruction patterns for the predicted forms.
In all cases, the new patterns are used for the asm parser only.
(The new infrastructure ought to be sufficient to allow use by
the compiler too at some point.)

There is currently only limited support for the "absolute" variants
of branch instructions. This patch adds support for the absolute
variants of all branches that are currently otherwise supported.
This requires adding new fixup types so that the correct variant
of relocation type can be selected by the object writer.
While the compiler will continue to usually choose the relative
branch variants, this will allow the asm parser to fully support
the absolute branches, with either immediate (numerical) or
symbolic target addresses.
No change in code generation intended.

When targeting the Darwin assembler, we need to generate markers ha16() and
lo16() to designate the high and low parts of a (symbolic) immediate. This
is necessary not just for plain symbols, but also for certain symbolic
expression, typically along the lines of ha16(A - B). The latter doesn't
work when simply using VariantKind flags on the symbol reference.
This is why the current back-end uses hacks (explicitly called out as such
via multiple FIXMEs) in the symbolLo/symbolHi print methods.
This patch uses target-defined MCExpr codes to represent the Darwin
ha16/lo16 constructs, following along the lines of the equivalent solution
used by the ARM back end to handle their :upper16: / :lower16: markers.
This allows us to get rid of special handling both in the symbolLo/symbolHi
print method and in the common code MCExpr::print routine. Instead, the
ha16 / lo16 markers are printed simply in a custom print routine for the
target MCExpr types. (As a result, the symbolLo/symbolHi print methods
can now replaced by a single printS16ImmOperand routine that also handles
symbolic operands.)
The patch also provides a EvaluateAsRelocatableImpl routine to handle
ha16/lo16 constructs. This is not actually used at the moment by any
in-tree code, but is provided as it makes merging into David Fang's
out-of-tree Mach-O object writer simpler.
Since there is no longer any need to treat VK_PPC_GAS_HA16 and
VK_PPC_DARWIN_HA16 differently, they are merged into a single
VK_PPC_ADDR16_HA (and likewise for the _LO16 types).

This is the second part of the change to always return "true"
offset values from getPreIndexedAddressParts, tackling the
case of "memrix" type operands.
This is about instructions like LD/STD that only have a 14-bit
field to encode immediate offsets, which are implicitly extended
by two zero bits by the machine, so that in effect we can access
16-bit offsets as long as they are a multiple of 4.
The PowerPC back end currently handles such instructions by
carrying the 14-bit value (as it will get encoded into the
actual machine instructions) in the machine operand fields
for such instructions. This means that those values are
in fact not the true offset, but rather the offset divided
by 4 (and then truncated to an unsigned 14-bit value).
Like in the case fixed in r182012, this makes common code
operations on such offset values not work as expected.
Furthermore, there doesn't really appear to be any strong
reason why we should encode machine operands this way.
This patch therefore changes the encoding of "memrix" type
machine operands to simply contain the "true" offset value
as a signed immediate value, while enforcing the rules that
it must fit in a 16-bit signed value and must also be a
multiple of 4.
This change must be made simultaneously in all places that
access machine operands of this type. However, just about
all those changes make the code simpler; in many cases we
can now just share the same code for memri and memrix
operands.

PowerPC assemblers are supposed to support a stand-alone '$' symbol
as an alternative of '.' to refer to the current PC. This does not
work in the LLVM assembler parser yet.
To avoid bootstrap failures when using the LLVM assembler as system
assembler, this patch modifies the assembler source code generated
by LLVM to avoid using '$' (and simply use '.' instead).

As pointed out by Jakob, we don't need to maintain a separate
register-numbering table. Instead we should let TableGen generate the table for
us from the information (already present) in PPCRegisterInfo.td.
TRI->getEncodingValue is now used to access register-encoding values.

This commit changes the ISEL patterns to use a CCBITRC operand
instead of a "pred" operand. This matches the actual instruction
text more directly, and simplifies use of ISEL with the asm parser.
In addition, this change allows some simplification of handling
the "pred" operand, as this is now only used by BCC.

The BLR pattern cannot be recognized by the asm parser in its current form.
This complexity is due to an apparent attempt to enable conditional BLR
variants. However, none of those can ever be generated by current code;
the pattern is only ever created using the default "pred" operand.
To simplify the pattern and allow it to be recognized by the parser,
this commit removes those attempts at conditional BLR support.
When we later come back to actually add real conditional BLR, this
should probably be done via a fully generic conditional branch pattern.

Vector compare using altivec 'vcmpxxx' instructions have as third argument
a vector register instead of CR one, different from integer and float-point
compares. This leads to a failure in code generation, where 'SelectSETCC'
expects a DAG with a CR register and gets vector register instead.
This patch changes the behavior by just returning a DAG with the
vector compare instruction based on the type. The patch also adds a testcase
for all vector types llvm defines.
It also included a fix on signed 5-bits predicates printing, where
signed values were not handled correctly as signed (char are unsigned by
default for PowerPC). This generates 'vspltisw' (vector splat)
instruction with SIM out of range.

specified in the same file that the library itself is created. This is
more idiomatic for CMake builds, and also allows us to correctly specify
dependencies that are missed due to bugs in the GenLibDeps perl script,
or change from compiler to compiler. On Linux, this returns CMake to
a place where it can relably rebuild several targets of LLVM.
I have tried not to change the dependencies from the ones in the current
auto-generated file. The only places I've really diverged are in places
where I was seeing link failures, and added a dependency. The goal of
this patch is not to start changing the dependencies, merely to move
them into the correct location, and an explicit form that we can control
and change when necessary.
This also removes a serialization point in the build because we don't
have to scan all the libraries before we begin building various tools.
We no longer have a step of the build that regenerates a file inside the
source tree. A few other associated cleanups fall out of this.
This isn't really finished yet though. After talking to dgregor he urged
switching to a single CMake macro to construct libraries with both
sources and dependencies in the arguments. Migrating from the two macros
to that style will be a follow-up patch.
Also, llvm-config is still generated with GenLibDeps.pl, which means it
still has slightly buggy dependencies. The internal CMake
'llvm-config-like' macro uses the correct explicitly specified
dependencies however. A future patch will switch llvm-config generation
(when using CMake) to be based on these deps as well.
This may well break Windows. I'm getting a machine set up now to dig
into any failures there. If anyone can chime in with problems they see
or ideas of how to solve them for Windows, much appreciated.

The first problem to fix is to stop creating synthetic *Table_gen
targets next to all of the LLVM libraries. These had no real effect as
CMake specifies that add_custom_command(OUTPUT ...) directives (what the
'tablegen(...)' stuff expands to) are implicitly added as dependencies
to all the rules in that CMakeLists.txt.
These synthetic rules started to cause problems as we started more and
more heavily using tablegen files from *subdirectories* of the one where
they were generated. Within those directories, the set of tablegen
outputs was still available and so these synthetic rules added them as
dependencies of those subdirectories. However, they were no longer
properly associated with the custom command to generate them. Most of
the time this "just worked" because something would get to the parent
directory first, and run tablegen there. Once run, the files existed and
the build proceeded happily. However, as more and more subdirectories
have started using this, the probability of this failing to happen has
increased. Recently with the MC refactorings, it became quite common for
me when touching a large enough number of targets.
To add insult to injury, several of the backends *tried* to fix this by
adding explicit dependencies back to the parent directory's tablegen
rules, but those dependencies didn't work as expected -- they weren't
forming a linear chain, they were adding another thread in the race.
This patch removes these synthetic rules completely, and adds a much
simpler function to declare explicitly that a collection of tablegen'ed
files are referenced by other libraries. From that, we can add explicit
dependencies from the smaller libraries (such as every architectures
Desc library) on this and correctly form a linear sequence. All of the
backends are updated to use it, sometimes replacing the existing attempt
at adding a dependency, sometimes adding a previously missing dependency
edge.
Please let me know if this causes any problems, but it fixes a rather
persistent and problematic source of build flakiness on our end.
