//===- README_ALTIVEC.txt - Notes for improving Altivec code gen ----------===//
|
|
|
|
Implement PPCInstrInfo::isLoadFromStackSlot/isStoreToStackSlot for vector
|
|
registers, to generate better spill code.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
The first should be a single lvx from the constant pool, the second should be
|
|
a xor/stvx:
|
|
|
|
void foo(void) {
|
|
int x[8] __attribute__((aligned(128))) = { 1, 1, 1, 17, 1, 1, 1, 1 };
|
|
bar (x);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
#include <string.h>
|
|
void foo(void) {
|
|
int x[8] __attribute__((aligned(128)));
|
|
memset (x, 0, sizeof (x));
|
|
bar (x);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Altivec: Codegen'ing MUL with vector FMADD should add -0.0, not 0.0:
|
|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8763
|
|
|
|
When -ffast-math is on, we can use 0.0.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Consider this:
|
|
v4f32 Vector;
|
|
v4f32 Vector2 = { Vector.X, Vector.X, Vector.X, Vector.X };
|
|
|
|
Since we know that "Vector" is 16-byte aligned and we know the element offset
|
|
of ".X", we should change the load into a lve*x instruction, instead of doing
|
|
a load/store/lve*x sequence.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
For functions that use altivec AND have calls, we are VRSAVE'ing all call
|
|
clobbered regs.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Implement passing vectors by value into calls and receiving them as arguments.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
GCC apparently tries to codegen { C1, C2, Variable, C3 } as a constant pool load
|
|
of C1/C2/C3, then a load and vperm of Variable.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
We need a way to teach tblgen that some operands of an intrinsic are required to
|
|
be constants. The verifier should enforce this constraint.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
We currently codegen SCALAR_TO_VECTOR as a store of the scalar to a 16-byte
|
|
aligned stack slot, followed by a load/vperm. We should probably just store it
|
|
to a scalar stack slot, then use lvsl/vperm to load it. If the value is already
|
|
in memory this is a big win.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
extract_vector_elt of an arbitrary constant vector can be done with the
|
|
following instructions:
|
|
|
|
vTemp = vec_splat(v0,2); // 2 is the element the src is in.
|
|
vec_ste(&destloc,0,vTemp);
|
|
|
|
We can do an arbitrary non-constant value by using lvsr/perm/ste.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
If we want to tie instruction selection into the scheduler, we can do some
|
|
constant formation with different instructions. For example, we can generate
|
|
"vsplti -1" with "vcmpequw R,R" and 1,1,1,1 with "vsubcuw R,R", and 0,0,0,0 with
|
|
"vsplti 0" or "vxor", each of which use different execution units, thus could
|
|
help scheduling.
|
|
|
|
This is probably only reasonable for a post-pass scheduler.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
For this function:
|
|
|
|
void test(vector float *A, vector float *B) {
|
|
vector float C = (vector float)vec_cmpeq(*A, *B);
|
|
if (!vec_any_eq(*A, *B))
|
|
*B = (vector float){0,0,0,0};
|
|
*A = C;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
we get the following basic block:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
lvx v2, 0, r4
|
|
lvx v3, 0, r3
|
|
vcmpeqfp v4, v3, v2
|
|
vcmpeqfp. v2, v3, v2
|
|
bne cr6, LBB1_2 ; cond_next
|
|
|
|
The vcmpeqfp/vcmpeqfp. instructions currently cannot be merged when the
|
|
vcmpeqfp. result is used by a branch. This can be improved.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

The code generated for this is truly aweful:
|
|
|
|
vector float test(float a, float b) {
|
|
return (vector float){ 0.0, a, 0.0, 0.0};
|
|
}

A predicate compare being used in a select_cc should have the same peephole
|
|
applied to it as a predicate compare used by a br_cc. There should be no
|

mfcr here:

CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_constants.ll has an and operation that should be
|
|
codegen'd to andc. The issue is that the 'all ones' build vector is
|
|
SelectNodeTo'd a VSPLTISB instruction node before the and/xor is selected
|
|
which prevents the vnot pattern from matching.
|
|
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|

|
An alternative to the store/store/load approach for illegal insert element
|
|
lowering would be:
|
|
|
|
1. store element to any ol' slot
|
|
2. lvx the slot
|
|
3. lvsl 0; splat index; vcmpeq to generate a select mask
|
|
4. lvsl slot + x; vperm to rotate result into correct slot
|
|
5. vsel result together.
|
|
|
|
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
|
|
|
|
Should codegen branches on vec_any/vec_all to avoid mfcr. Two examples:
|
|
|
|
#include <altivec.h>
|
|
int f(vector float a, vector float b)
|
|
{
|
|
int aa = 0;
|
|
if (vec_all_ge(a, b))
|
|
aa |= 0x1;
|
|
if (vec_any_ge(a,b))
|
|
aa |= 0x2;
|
|
return aa;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
vector float f(vector float a, vector float b) {
|
|
if (vec_any_eq(a, b))
|
|
return a;
|
|
else
|
|
return b;
|
|
}
|
|
