Dan Gohman 602b0c8c17 Rename getTargetNode to getMachineNode, for consistency with the
naming scheme used in SelectionDAG, where there are multiple kinds
of "target" nodes, but "machine" nodes are nodes which represent
a MachineInstr.

* Condition codes
** DONE Problem with asymmetric SETCC operations
The instruction

  CC = R0 < 2

is not symmetric - there is no R0 > 2 instruction. On the other hand, IF CC
JUMP can take both CC and !CC as a condition. We cannot pattern-match (brcond
(not cc), target), the DAG optimizer removes that kind of thing.

This is handled by creating a pseudo-register NCC that aliases CC. Register
classes JustCC and NotCC are used to control the inversion of CC.

** DONE CC as an i32 register
The AnyCC register class pretends to hold i32 values. It can only represent the
values 0 and 1, but we can copy to and from the D class. This hack makes it
possible to represent the setcc instruction without having i1 as a legal type.

In most cases, the CC register is set by a "CC = .." or BITTST instruction, and
then used in a conditional branch or move. The code generator thinks it is
moving 32 bits, but the value stays in CC. In other cases, the result of a
comparison is actually used as am i32 number, and CC will be copied to a D
register.

* Stack frames
** TODO Use Push/Pop instructions
We should use the push/pop instructions when saving callee-saved
registers. The are smaller, and we may even use push multiple instructions.

** TODO requiresRegisterScavenging
We need more intelligence in determining when the scavenger is needed. We
should keep track of:
- Spilling D16 registers
- Spilling AnyCC registers

* Assembler
** TODO Implement PrintGlobalVariable
** TODO Remove LOAD32sym
It's a hack combining two instructions by concatenation.

* Inline Assembly

These are the GCC constraints from bfin/constraints.md:

** TODO Support all register classes
* DAG combiner
** Create test case for each Illegal SETCC case
The DAG combiner may someimes produce illegal i16 SETCC instructions.

*** TODO SETCC (ctlz x), 5) == const
*** TODO SETCC (and load, const) == const
*** DONE SETCC (zext x) == const
*** TODO SETCC (sext x) == const

* Instruction selection
** TODO Better imediate constants
Like ARM, build constants as small imm + shift.

** TODO Implement cycle counter
We have CYCLES and CYCLES2 registers, but the readcyclecounter intrinsic wants
to return i64, and the code generator doesn't know how to legalize that.

** TODO Instruction alternatives
Some instructions come in different variants for example:

  D = D + D
  P = P + P

Cross combinations are not allowed:

  P = D + D (bad)

Similarly for the subreg pseudo-instructions:

 D16L = EXTRACT_SUBREG D16, bfin_subreg_lo16
 P16L = EXTRACT_SUBREG P16, bfin_subreg_lo16

We want to take advantage of the alternative instructions. This could be done by
changing the DAG after instruction selection.


** Multipatterns for load/store
We should try to identify multipatterns for load and store instructions. The
available instruction matrix is a bit irregular.

* Workarounds and features
Blackfin CPUs have bugs. Each model comes in a number of silicon revisions with
different bugs. We learn about the CPU model from the -mcpu switch.

** Interpretation of -mcpu value
- -mcpu=bf527 refers to the latest known BF527 revision
- -mcpu=bf527-0.2 refers to silicon rev. 0.2
- -mcpu=bf527-any refers to all known revisions
- -mcpu=bf527-none disables all workarounds

The -mcpu setting affects the __SILICON_REVISION__ macro and enabled workarounds:

| -mcpu      | __SILICON_REVISION__ | Workarounds        |
|------------+----------------------+--------------------|
| bf527      | Def Latest           | Specific to latest |
| bf527-1.3  | Def 0x0103           | Specific to 1.3    |
| bf527-any  | Def 0xffff           | All bf527-x.y      |
| bf527-none | Undefined            | None               |

These are the known cores and revisions:

| Core        | Silicon            | Processors              |
|-------------+--------------------+-------------------------|
| Edinburgh   | 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 | BF531 BF532 BF533       |

| Stirling    | 0.3, 0.4, 0.5      | BF538 BF539             |
| Moab        | 0.0, 0.1, 0.2      | BF542 BF544 BF548 BF549 |
| Teton       | 0.3, 0.5           | BF561                   |
| Kookaburra  | 0.0, 0.1, 0.2      | BF523 BF525 BF527       |
| Mockingbird | 0.0, 0.1           | BF522 BF524 BF526       |
| Brodie      | 0.0, 0.1           | BF512 BF514 BF516 BF518 |


** Compiler implemented workarounds
Most workarounds are implemented in header files and source code using the
__ADSPBF527__ macros. A few workarounds require compiler support.
