This patch introduces a new pass that computes the safe point to insert the
prologue and epilogue of the function.
The interest is to find safe points that are cheaper than the entry and exits
blocks.
As an example and to avoid regressions to be introduce, this patch also
implements the required bits to enable the shrink-wrapping pass for AArch64.
** Context **
Currently we insert the prologue and epilogue of the method/function in the
entry and exits blocks. Although this is correct, we can do a better job when
those are not immediately required and insert them at less frequently executed
places.
The job of the shrink-wrapping pass is to identify such places.
** Motivating example **
Let us consider the following function that perform a call only in one branch of
a if:
define i32 @f(i32 %a, i32 %b) {
%tmp = alloca i32, align 4
%tmp2 = icmp slt i32 %a, %b
br i1 %tmp2, label %true, label %false
true:
store i32 %a, i32* %tmp, align 4
%tmp4 = call i32 @doSomething(i32 0, i32* %tmp)
br label %false
false:
%tmp.0 = phi i32 [ %tmp4, %true ], [ %a, %0 ]
ret i32 %tmp.0
}
On AArch64 this code generates (removing the cfi directives to ease
readabilities):
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stur w0, [x29, #-4]
sub x1, x29, #4 ; =4
mov w0, wzr
bl _doSomething
LBB0_2: ; %false
mov sp, x29
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
ret
With shrink-wrapping we could generate:
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
stur w0, [x29, #-4]
sub x1, x29, #4 ; =4
mov w0, wzr
bl _doSomething
add sp, x29, #16 ; =16
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
LBB0_2: ; %false
ret
Therefore, we would pay the overhead of setting up/destroying the frame only if
we actually do the call.
** Proposed Solution **
This patch introduces a new machine pass that perform the shrink-wrapping
analysis (See the comments at the beginning of ShrinkWrap.cpp for more details).
It then stores the safe save and restore point into the MachineFrameInfo
attached to the MachineFunction.
This information is then used by the PrologEpilogInserter (PEI) to place the
related code at the right place. This pass runs right before the PEI.
Unlike the original paper of Chow from PLDI’88, this implementation of
shrink-wrapping does not use expensive data-flow analysis and does not need hack
to properly avoid frequently executed point. Instead, it relies on dominance and
loop properties.
The pass is off by default and each target can opt-in by setting the
EnableShrinkWrap boolean to true in their derived class of TargetPassConfig.
This setting can also be overwritten on the command line by using
-enable-shrink-wrap.
Before you try out the pass for your target, make sure you properly fix your
emitProlog/emitEpilog/adjustForXXX method to cope with basic blocks that are not
necessarily the entry block.
** Design Decisions **
1. ShrinkWrap is its own pass right now. It could frankly be merged into PEI but
for debugging and clarity I thought it was best to have its own file.
2. Right now, we only support one save point and one restore point. At some
point we can expand this to several save point and restore point, the impacted
component would then be:
- The pass itself: New algorithm needed.
- MachineFrameInfo: Hold a list or set of Save/Restore point instead of one
pointer.
- PEI: Should loop over the save point and restore point.
Anyhow, at least for this first iteration, I do not believe this is interesting
to support the complex cases. We should revisit that when we motivating
examples.

can be used in the future for TargetMachine based caching lookups from
the MachineFunction easily.

The old system was fairly convoluted:
* A temporary label was created.
* A single PROLOG_LABEL was created with it.
* A few MCCFIInstructions were created with the same label.
The semantics were that the cfi instructions were mapped to the PROLOG_LABEL
via the temporary label. The output position was that of the PROLOG_LABEL.
The temporary label itself was used only for doing the mapping.
The new CFI_INSTRUCTION has a 1:1 mapping to MCCFIInstructions and points to
one by holding an index into the CFI instructions of this function.
I did consider removing MMI.getFrameInstructions completelly and having
CFI_INSTRUCTION own a MCCFIInstruction, but MCCFIInstructions have non
trivial constructors and destructors and are somewhat big, so the this setup
is probably better.
The net result is that we don't create temporary labels that are never used.

BuildMI instructions were not including MachineMemOperand information.
This was discovered by 'SingleSource/Benchmarks/Stanford/Oscar' failing
due to a FrameIndex load incorrectly being hoisted by postra-machine-licm.
No other tests have been found to fail.

We also narrow the liveness of FP & LR during the prologue to
reflect the actual usage of the registers.
I have been unable to construct a test to prove the previous live
range was too large.

eliminateFrameIndex() has been reworked to handle both small & large frames
with either a FP or SP.
An additional Slot is required for Scavenging spills when not using FP for large frames.
Reworked the handling of Register Scavenging.
Whether we are using an FP or not, whether it is a large frame or not,
and whether we are using a large code model or not are now independent.

getExceptionHandlingType is not ExceptionHandling::DwarfCFI on xcore, so
etFrameInstructions is never called. There is no point creating cfi
instructions if they are never used.

To add a frame now there is a dedicated addFrameMove which also takes
care of constructing the move itself.

Previously we only checked if the LR required saving if the frame size was
non zero. However because the caller reserves 1 word for the callee to use
that doesn't count towards our frame size it is possible for the LR to need
saving and for the frame size to be 0.
We didn't hit when the LR needed saving because of a function calls because
the 1 word of stack we must allocate for our callee means the frame size
is always non zero in this case. However we can hit this case if the LR is
clobbered in inline asm.

At the time when the XCore backend was added there were some issues with
with overlapping register classes but these all seem to be fixed now.
Describing the register classes correctly allow us to get rid of a
codegen only instruction (LDAWSP_lru6_RRegs) and it means we can
disassemble ru6 instructions that use registers above r11.

This patch lets the register scavenger make use of multiple spill slots in
order to guarantee that it will be able to provide multiple registers
simultaneously.
To support this, the RS's API has changed slightly: setScavengingFrameIndex /
getScavengingFrameIndex have been replaced by addScavengingFrameIndex /
isScavengingFrameIndex / getScavengingFrameIndices.
In forthcoming commits, the PowerPC backend will use this capability in order
to implement the spilling of condition registers, and some special-purpose
registers, without relying on r0 being reserved. In some cases, spilling these
registers requires two GPRs: one for addressing and one to hold the value being
transferred.

to TargetFrameLowering, where it belongs. Incidentally, this allows us
to delete some duplicated (and slightly different!) code in TRI.
There are potentially other layering problems that can be cleaned up
as a result, or in a similar manner.
The refactoring was OK'd by Anton Korobeynikov on llvmdev.
Note: this touches the target interfaces, so out-of-tree targets may
be affected.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

change, now you need a TargetOptions object to create a TargetMachine. Clang
patch to follow.
One small functionality change in PTX. PTX had commented out the machine
verifier parts in their copy of printAndVerify. That now calls the version in
LLVMTargetMachine. Users of PTX who need verification disabled should rely on
not passing the command-line flag to enable it.
