Previously print+verify passes were added in a very unsystematic way, which is
annoying when debugging as you miss intermediate steps and allows bugs to stay
unnotice when no verification is performed.
To make this change practical I added the possibility to explicitely disable
verification. I used this option on all places where no verification was
performed previously (because alot of places actually don't pass the
MachineVerifier).
In the long term these problems should be fixed properly and verification
enabled after each pass. I'll enable some more verification in subsequent
commits.
This is the 2nd attempt at this after realizing that PassManager::add() may
actually delete the pass.

This mirrors r222331, which enabled SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP on AArch64, in
the PowerPC backend. Yields, on a POWER7 machine, a 30% speedup on
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/nestedloop (this might just be from LICM,
there is a store moved out of the inner loop) and a potential speedup on
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mediabench/mpeg2/mpeg2dec/mpeg2decode. Regardless, it
makes some code look cleaner, and synchronizing the backends in this regard
seems like a generally good thing.

These recently all grew a unique_ptr<TargetLoweringObjectFile> member in
r221878. When anyone calls a virtual method of a class, clang-cl
requires all virtual methods to be semantically valid. This includes the
implicit virtual destructor, which triggers instantiation of the
unique_ptr destructor, which fails because the type being deleted is
incomplete.
This is just part of the ongoing saga of PR20337, which is affecting
Blink as well. Because the MSVC ABI doesn't have key functions, we end
up referencing the vtable and implicit destructor on any virtual call
through a class. We don't actually end up emitting the dtor, so it'd be
good if we could avoid this unneeded type completion work.

Summary:
This patch makes use of AtomicExpandPass in Power for inserting fences around
atomic as part of an effort to remove fence insertion from SelectionDAGBuilder.
As a big bonus, it lets us use sync 1 (lightweight sync, often used by the mnemonic
lwsync) instead of sync 0 (heavyweight sync) in many cases.
I also added a test, as there was no test for the barriers emitted by the Power
backend for atomic loads and stores.

As explained in r204976, because of how the allocation of VSX registers
interacts with the call-lowering code, we sometimes end up generating self VSX
copies. Specifically, things like this:
%VSL2<def> = COPY %F2, %VSL2<imp-use,kill>
(where %F2 is really a sub-register of %VSL2, and so this copy is a nop)
This adds a small cleanup pass to remove these prior to post-RA scheduling.
llvm-svn: 204980
The VSX instruction set has two types of FMA instructions: A-type (where the
addend is taken from the output register) and M-type (where one of the product
operands is taken from the output register). This adds a small pass that runs
just after MI scheduling (and, thus, just before register allocation) that
mutates A-type instructions (that are created during isel) into M-type
instructions when:
1. This will eliminate an otherwise-necessary copy of the addend
2. One of the product operands is killed by the instruction
The "right" moment to make this decision is in between scheduling and register
allocation, because only there do we know whether or not one of the product
operands is killed by any particular instruction. Unfortunately, this also
makes the implementation somewhat complicated, because the MIs are not in SSA
form and we need to preserve the LiveIntervals analysis.
As a simple example, if we have:
%vreg5<def> = COPY %vreg9; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg9
%vreg5<def,tied1> = XSMADDADP %vreg5<tied0>, %vreg17, %vreg16,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg17,%vreg16
...
%vreg9<def,tied1> = XSMADDADP %vreg9<tied0>, %vreg17, %vreg19,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg9,%vreg17,%vreg19
...
We can eliminate the copy by changing from the A-type to the
M-type instruction. This means:
%vreg5<def,tied1> = XSMADDADP %vreg5<tied0>, %vreg17, %vreg16,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg17,%vreg16
is replaced by:
%vreg16<def,tied1> = XSMADDMDP %vreg16<tied0>, %vreg18, %vreg9,
%RM<imp-use>; VSLRC:%vreg16,%vreg18,%vreg9
and we remove: %vreg5<def> = COPY %vreg9; VSLRC:%vreg5,%vreg9

VSX is an ISA extension supported on the POWER7 and later cores that enhances
floating-point vector and scalar capabilities. Among other things, this adds
<2 x double> support and generally helps to reduce register pressure.
The interesting part of this ISA feature is the register configuration: there
are 64 new 128-bit vector registers, the 32 of which are super-registers of the
existing 32 scalar floating-point registers, and the second 32 of which overlap
with the 32 Altivec vector registers. This makes things like vector insertion
and extraction tricky: this can be free but only if we force a restriction to
the right register subclass when needed. A new "minipass" PPCVSXCopy takes care
of this (although it could do a more-optimal job of it; see the comment about
unnecessary copies below).
Please note that, currently, VSX is not enabled by default when targeting
anything because it is not yet ready for that. The assembler and disassembler
are fully implemented and tested. However:
- CodeGen support causes miscompiles; test-suite runtime failures:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/distray/distray
MultiSource/Benchmarks/McCat/08-main/main
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Olden/voronoi/voronoi
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mafft/pairlocalalign
MultiSource/Benchmarks/tramp3d-v4/tramp3d-v4
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/almabench
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/matmul_f64_4x4
- The lowering currently falls back to using Altivec instructions far more
than it should. Worse, there are some things that are scalarized through the
stack that shouldn't be.
- A lot of unnecessary copies make it past the optimizers, and this needs to
be fixed.
- Many more regression tests are needed.
Normally, I'd fix these things prior to committing, but there are some
students and other contributors who would like to work this, and so it makes
sense to move this development process upstream where it can be subject to the
regular code-review procedures.

The integrated assembler now works for ppc. Since this was the last use of the
bg/p predicate and Hal says that it is now dead, drop the predicate too.

This change enables tracking i1 values in the PowerPC backend using the
condition register bits. These bits can be treated on PowerPC as separate
registers; individual bit operations (and, or, xor, etc.) are supported.
Tracking booleans in CR bits has several advantages:
- Reduction in register pressure (because we no longer need GPRs to store
boolean values).
- Logical operations on booleans can be handled more efficiently; we used to
have to move all results from comparisons into GPRs, perform promoted
logical operations in GPRs, and then move the result back into condition
register bits to be used by conditional branches. This can be very
inefficient, because the throughput of these CR <-> GPR moves have high
latency and low throughput (especially when other associated instructions
are accounted for).
- On the POWER7 and similar cores, we can increase total throughput by using
the CR bits. CR bit operations have a dedicated functional unit.
Most of this is more-or-less mechanical: Adjustments were needed in the
calling-convention code, support was added for spilling/restoring individual
condition-register bits, and conditional branch instruction definitions taking
specific CR bits were added (plus patterns and code for generating bit-level
operations).
This is enabled by default when running at -O2 and higher. For -O0 and -O1,
where the ability to debug is more important, this feature is disabled by
default. Individual CR bits do not have assigned DWARF register numbers,
and storing values in CR bits makes them invisible to the debugger.
It is critical, however, that we don't move i1 values that have been promoted
to larger values (such as those passed as function arguments) into bit
registers only to quickly turn around and move the values back into GPRs (such
as happens when values are returned by functions). A pair of target-specific
DAG combines are added to remove the trunc/extends in:
trunc(binary-ops(binary-ops(zext(x), zext(y)), ...)
and:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
In short, we only want to use CR bits where some of the i1 values come from
comparisons or are used by conditional branches or selects. To put it another
way, if we can do the entire i1 computation in GPRs, then we probably should
(on the POWER7, the GPR-operation throughput is higher, and for all cores, the
CR <-> GPR moves are expensive).
POWER7 test-suite performance results (from 10 runs in each configuration):

Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a
GlobalValue had to link with Target.
This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact
behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target.
With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

This patch adds -f64:32:64 to 32 bit ppc darwin since a f64 inside a
structure are only 32 bit aligned.
The patch also drop -f128:64:128 from all ppc darwin, since f128 is
128 bit aligned.

This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target.
However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian
code. Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian
built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for
syntax-only testing. Code generation will otherwise be the same as
powerpc64 (big-endian), for now.
The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian
PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a
thing.
The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import
worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
code are generated.

When asserts are enabled, this adds a verification pass for PPC counter-loop
formation. Unfortunately, without sacrificing code quality, there is no better
way of forming counter-based loops except at the (late) IR level. This means
that we need to recognize, at the IR level, anything which might turn into a
function call (or indirect branch). Because this is currently a finite set of
things, and because SelectionDAG lowering is basic-block local, this can be
done. Nevertheless, it is fragile, and failure results in a miscompile. This
verification pass checks that all (reachable) counter-based branches are
dominated by a loop mtctr instruction, and that no instructions in between
clobber the counter register. If these conditions are not satisfied, then an
ICE will be triggered.
In short, this is to help us sleep better at night.
llvm-svn: 182295
The old PPCCTRLoops pass, like the Hexagon pass version from which it was
derived, could only handle some simple loops in canonical form. We cannot
directly adapt the new Hexagon hardware loops pass, however, because the
Hexagon pass contains a fundamental assumption that non-constant-trip-count
loops will contain a guard, and this is not always true (the result being that
incorrect negative counts can be generated). With this commit, we replace the
pass with a late IR-level pass which makes use of SE to calculate the
backedge-taken counts and safely generate the loop-count expressions (including
any necessary max() parts). This IR level pass inserts custom intrinsics that
are lowered into the desired decrement-and-branch instructions.
The most fragile part of this new implementation is that interfering uses of
the counter register must be detected on the IR level (and, on PPC, this also
includes any indirect branches in addition to function calls). Also, to make
all of this work, we need a variant of the mtctr instruction that is marked
as having side effects. Without this, machine-code level CSE, DCE, etc.
illegally transform the resulting code. Hopefully, this can be improved
in the future.
This new pass is smaller than the original (and much smaller than the new
Hexagon hardware loops pass), and can handle many additional cases correctly.
In addition, the preheader-creation code has been copied from LoopSimplify, and
after we decide on where it belongs, this code will be refactored so that it
can be explicitly shared (making this implementation even smaller).
The new test-case files ctrloop-{le,lt,ne}.ll have been adapted from tests for
the new Hexagon pass. There are a few classes of loops that this pass does not
transform (noted by FIXMEs in the files), but these deficiencies can be
addressed within the SE infrastructure (thus helping many other passes as well).

It was just a less powerful and more confusing version of
MCCFIInstruction. A side effect is that, since MCCFIInstruction uses
dwarf register numbers, calls to getDwarfRegNum are pushed out, which
should allow further simplifications.
I left the MachineModuleInfo::addFrameMove interface unchanged since
this patch was already fairly big.
llvm-svn: 181680
This enables us to form predicated branches (which are the same conditional
branches we had before) and also a larger set of predicated returns (including
instructions like bdnzlr which is a conditional return and loop-counter
decrement all in one).
At the moment, if conversion does not capture all possible opportunities. A
simple example is provided in early-ret2.ll, where if conversion forms one
predicated return, and then the PPCEarlyReturn pass picks up the other one. So,
at least for now, we'll keep both mechanisms.
