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.

This adds support for the last missing construct to parse TLS-related
assembler code:
add 3, 4, symbol@tls
The ADD8TLS currently hard-codes the @tls into the assembler string.
This cannot be handled by the asm parser, since @tls is parsed as
a symbol variant. This patch changes ADD8TLS to have the @tls suffix
printed as symbol variant on output too, which allows us to remove
the isCodeGenOnly marker from ADD8TLS. This in turn means that we
can add a AsmOperand to accept @tls marked symbols on input.
As a side effect, this means that the fixup_ppc_tlsreg fixup type
is no longer necessary and can be merged into fixup_ppc_nofixup.

This implements a proper PPCAsmBackend::writeNopData routine
that actually writes PowerPC nop instructions.
This fixes the last remaining difference in object file output
(text section) between the integrated assembler and GNU as
that I've seen anywhere.

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.

Now that fixup_ppc_ha16 and fixup_ppc_lo16 are being treated exactly
the same everywhere, it no longer makes sense to have two fixup types.
This patch merges them both into a single type fixup_ppc_half16,
and renames fixup_ppc_lo16_ds to fixup_ppc_half16ds for consistency.
(The half16 and half16ds names are taken from the description of
relocation types in the PowerPC ABI.)
No change in code generation expected.
llvm-svn: 182092
The current PowerPC MC back end distinguishes between fixup_ppc_ha16
and fixup_ppc_lo16, which are determined by the instruction the fixup
applies to, and uses this distinction to decide whether a fixup ought
to resolve to the high or the low part of a symbol address.
This isn't quite correct, however. It is valid -if unusual- assembler
to use, e.g.
li 1, symbol@ha
or
lis 1, symbol@l
Whether the high or the low part of the address is used depends solely
on the @ suffix, not on the instruction.
In addition, both
li 1, symbol
and
lis 1, symbol
are valid, assuming the symbol address fits into 16 bits; again, both
will then refer to the actual symbol value (so li will load the value
itself, while lis will load the value shifted by 16).
To fix this, two places need to be adapted. If the fixup cannot be
resolved at assembler time, a relocation needs to be emitted via
PPCELFObjectWriter::getRelocType. This routine already looks at
the VK_ type to determine the relocation. The only problem is that
will reject any _LO modifier in a ha16 fixup and vice versa. This
is simply incorrect; any of those modifiers ought to be accepted
for either fixup type.
If the fixup *can* be resolved at assembler time, adjustFixupValue
currently selects the high bits of the symbol value if the fixup
type is ha16. Again, this is incorrect; see the above example
lis 1, symbol
Now, in theory we'd have to respect a VK_ modifier here. However,
in fact common code never even attempts to resolve symbol references
using any nontrivial VK_ modifier at assembler time; it will always
fall back to emitting a reloc and letting the linker handle it.
If this ever changes, presumably there'd have to be a target callback
to resolve VK_ modifiers. We'd then have to handle @ha etc. there.

Now that applyFixup understands differently-sized fixups, we can define
fixup_ppc_lo16/fixup_ppc_lo16_ds/fixup_ppc_ha16 to properly be 2-byte
fixups, applied at an offset of 2 relative to the start of the
instruction text.
This has the benefit that if we actually need to generate a real
relocation record, its address will come out correctly automatically,
without having to fiddle with the offset in adjustFixupOffset.
Tested on both 64-bit and 32-bit PowerPC, using external and
integrated assembler.
llvm-svn: 181894
The PPCAsmBackend::applyFixup routine handles the case where a
fixup can be resolved within the same object file. However,
this routine is currently hard-coded to assume the size of
any fixup is always exactly 4 bytes.
This is sort-of correct for fixups on instruction text; even
though it only works because several of what really would be
2-byte fixups are presented as 4-byte fixups instead (requiring
another hack in PPCELFObjectWriter::adjustFixupOffset to clean
it up).
However, this assumption breaks down completely for fixups
on data, which legitimately can be of any size (1, 2, 4, or 8).
This patch makes applyFixup aware of fixups of varying sizes,
introducing a new helper routine getFixupKindNumBytes (along
the lines of what the ARM back end does). Note that in order
to handle fixups of size 8, we also need to fix the return type
of adjustFixupValue to uint64_t to avoid truncation.
Tested on both 64-bit and 32-bit PowerPC, using external and
integrated assembler.
llvm-svn: 181891
MCTargetDesc/PPCMCCodeEmitter.cpp current has code like:
if (isSVR4ABI() && is64BitMode())
Fixups.push_back(MCFixup::Create(0, MO.getExpr(),
(MCFixupKind)PPC::fixup_ppc_toc16));
else
Fixups.push_back(MCFixup::Create(0, MO.getExpr(),
(MCFixupKind)PPC::fixup_ppc_lo16));
This is a problem for the asm parser, since it requires knowledge of
the ABI / 64-bit mode to be set up. However, more fundamentally,
at this point we shouldn't make such distinctions anyway; in an assembler
file, it always ought to be possible to e.g. generate TOC relocations even
when the main ABI is one that doesn't use TOC.
Fortunately, this is actually completely unnecessary; that code was added
to decide whether to generate TOC relocations, but that information is in
fact already encoded in the VariantKind of the underlying symbol.
This commit therefore merges those fixup types into one, and then decides
which relocation to use based on the VariantKind.
No changes in generated code.

PowerPC target. This is the last of the four models, so we now have
full TLS support.
This is mostly a straightforward extension of the general dynamic model.
I had to use an additional Chain operand to tie ADDIS_DTPREL_HA to the
register copy following ADDI_TLSLD_L; otherwise everything above the
ADDIS_DTPREL_HA appeared dead and was removed.
As before, there are new test cases to test the assembly generation, and
the relocations output during integrated assembly. The expected code
gen sequence can be read in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/tls-ld.ll.
There are a couple of things I think can be done more efficiently in the
overall TLS code, so there will likely be a clean-up patch forthcoming;
but for now I want to be sure the functionality is in place.

Given a thread-local symbol x with global-dynamic access, the generated
code to obtain x's address is:
Instruction Relocation Symbol
addis ra,r2,x@got@tlsgd@ha R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_HA x
addi r3,ra,x@got@tlsgd@l R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_L x
bl __tls_get_addr(x@tlsgd) R_PPC64_TLSGD x
R_PPC64_REL24 __tls_get_addr
nop
<use address in r3>
The implementation borrows from the medium code model work for introducing
special forms of ADDIS and ADDI into the DAG representation. This is made
slightly more complicated by having to introduce a call to the external
function __tls_get_addr. Using the full call machinery is overkill and,
more importantly, makes it difficult to add a special relocation. So I've
introduced another opcode GET_TLS_ADDR to represent the function call, and
surrounded it with register copies to set up the parameter and return value.
Most of the code is pretty straightforward. I ran into one peculiarity
when I introduced a new PPC opcode BL8_NOP_ELF_TLSGD, which is just like
BL8_NOP_ELF except that it takes another parameter to represent the symbol
("x" above) that requires a relocation on the call. Something in the
TblGen machinery causes BL8_NOP_ELF and BL8_NOP_ELF_TLSGD to be treated
identically during the emit phase, so this second operand was never
visited to generate relocations. This is the reason for the slightly
messy workaround in PPCMCCodeEmitter.cpp:getDirectBrEncoding().
Two new tests are included to demonstrate correct external assembly and
correct generation of relocations using the integrated assembler.
Comments welcome!
Thanks,

on 64-bit PowerPC ELF.
The patch includes code to handle external assembly and MC output with the
integrated assembler. It intentionally does not support the "old" JIT.
For the initial-exec TLS model, the ABI requires the following to calculate
the address of external thread-local variable x:
Code sequence Relocation Symbol
ld 9,x@got@tprel(2) R_PPC64_GOT_TPREL16_DS x
add 9,9,x@tls R_PPC64_TLS x
The register 9 is arbitrary here. The linker will replace x@got@tprel
with the offset relative to the thread pointer to the generated GOT
entry for symbol x. It will replace x@tls with the thread-pointer
register (13).
The two test cases verify correct assembly output and relocation output
as just described.
PowerPC-specific selection node variants are added for the two
instructions above: LD_GOT_TPREL and ADD_TLS. These are inserted
when an initial-exec global variable is encountered by
PPCTargetLowering::LowerGlobalTLSAddress(), and later lowered to
machine instructions LDgotTPREL and ADD8TLS. LDgotTPREL is a pseudo
that uses the same LDrs support added for medium code model's LDtocL,
with a different relocation type.
The rest of the processing is straightforward.

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. =]

This patch adds initial PPC64 TOC MC object creation using the small mcmodel
(a single 64K TOC) adding the some TOC relocations (R_PPC64_TOC,
R_PPC64_TOC16, and R_PPC64_TOC16DS).
The addition of 'undefinedExplicitRelSym' hook on 'MCELFObjectTargetWriter'
is meant to avoid the creation of an unreferenced ".TOC." symbol (used in
the .odp creation) as well to set the R_PPC64_TOC relocation target as the
temporary ".TOC." symbol. On PPC64 ABI, the R_PPC64_TOC relocation should
not point to any symbol.

Whether a fixup needs relaxation for the associated instruction is a
target-specific function, as the FIXME indicated. Create a hook for that
and use it.
