conditional branches for very large targets. That will be the next small
patch. Everything now should in principle work as good (functionality
wise) as without constant islands so we decided at Mips/Imagination to
make constant islands the default for Mips16 now so that it will get
excercised a lot and this port is still experimentatl though hopefully soon
we will change the status. Some more cleanup and code review is in order
but things are converging fast.

Hard float for mips16 means essentially to compile as soft float but to
use a runtime library for soft float that is written with native mips32
floating point instructions (those runtime routines run in mips32 hard
float mode).

Before I just ported the shell of the pass. I've tried to keep everything
nearly identical to the ARM version. I think it will be very easy to eventually
merge these two and create a new more general pass that other targets can
use. I have some improvements I would like to make to allow pools to
be shared across functions and some other things. When I'm all done we
can think about making a more general pass. More to be ported but the
basic mechanism works now almost as good as gcc mips16.

has hard float, when you compile the mips32 code you have to make sure
that it knows to compile any mips32 routines as hard float. I need to clean
up the way mips16 hard float is specified but I need to first think through
all the details. Mips16 always has a form of soft float, the difference being
whether the underlying hardware has floating point. So it's not really
necessary to pass the -soft-float to llvm since soft-float is always true
for mips16 by virtue of the fact that it will not register floating point
registers. By using this fact, I can simplify the way this is all handled.

This regards how mips16 is viewed. It's not really a target type but
there has always been a target for it in the td files. It's more properly
-mcpu=mips32 -mattr=+mips16 . This is how clang treats it but we have
always had the -mcpu=mips16 which I probably should delete now but it will
require updating all the .ll test cases for mips16. In this case it changed
how we decide if we have a count bits instruction and whether instruction
lowering should then expand ctlz. Now that we have dual mode compilation,
-mattr=+mips16 really just indicates the inital processor mode that
we are compiling for. (It is also possible to have -mcpu=64 -mattr=+mips16
but as far as I know, nobody has even built such a processor, though there
is an architecture manual for this).

mips16/mips32 floating point interoperability.
This patch fixes returns from mips16 functions so that if the function
was in fact called by a mips32 hard float routine, then values
that would have been returned in floating point registers are so returned.
Mips16 mode has no floating point instructions so there is no way to
load values into floating point registers.
This is needed when returning float, double, single complex, double complex
in the Mips ABI.
Helper functions in libc for mips16 are available to do this.
For efficiency purposes, these helper functions have a different calling
convention from normal Mips calls.
Registers v0,v1,a0,a1 are used to pass parameters instead of
a0,a1,a2,a3.
This is because v0,v1,a0,a1 are the natural registers used to return
floating point values in soft float. These values can then be moved
to the appropriate floating point registers with no extra cost.
The only register that is modified is ra in this call.
The helper functions make sure that the return values are in the floating
point registers that they would be in if soft float was not in effect
(which it is for mips16, though the soft float is implemented using a mips32
library that uses hard float).
llvm-svn: 181641
Mips32 code as Mips16 unless it can't be compiled as Mips 16. For now this
would happen as long as floating point instructions are not needed.
Probably it would also make sense to compile as mips32 if atomic operations
are needed too. There may be other cases too.
A module pass prescans the IR and adds the mips16 or nomips16 attribute
to functions depending on the functions needs.
Mips 16 mode can result in a 40% code compression by utililizing 16 bit
encoding of many instructions.
The hope is for this to replace the traditional gcc way of dealing with
Mips16 code using floating point which involves essentially using soft float
but with a library implemented using mips32 floating point. This gcc
method also requires creating stubs so that Mips32 code can interact with
these Mips 16 functions that have floating point needs. My conjecture is
that in reality this traditional gcc method would never win over this
new method.
I will be implementing the traditional gcc method also. Some of it is already
done but I needed to do the stubs to finish the work and those required
this mips16/32 mixed mode capability.
I have more ideas for to make this new method much better and I think the old
method will just live in llvm for anyone that needs the backward compatibility
but I don't for what reason that would be needed.

and mips16 on a per function basis.
Because this patch is somewhat involved I have provide an overview of the
key pieces of it.
The patch is written so as to not change the behavior of the non mixed
mode. We have tested this a lot but it is something new to switch subtargets
so we don't want any chance of regression in the mainline compiler until
we have more confidence in this.
Mips32/64 are very different from Mip16 as is the case of ARM vs Thumb1.
For that reason there are derived versions of the register info, frame info,
instruction info and instruction selection classes.
Now we register three separate passes for instruction selection.
One which is used to switch subtargets (MipsModuleISelDAGToDAG.cpp) and then
one for each of the current subtargets (Mips16ISelDAGToDAG.cpp and
MipsSEISelDAGToDAG.cpp).
When the ModuleISel pass runs, it determines if there is a need to switch
subtargets and if so, the owning pointers in MipsTargetMachine are
appropriately changed.
When 16Isel or SEIsel is run, they will return immediately without doing
any work if the current subtarget mode does not apply to them.
In addition, MipsAsmPrinter needs to be reset on a function basis.
The pass BasicTargetTransformInfo is substituted with a null pass since the
pass is immutable and really needs to be a function pass for it to be
used with changing subtargets. This will be fixed in a follow on patch.

This calling convention was added just to handle functions which return vector
of floats. The fix committed in r165585 solves the problem.

llc to recognize MIPS16 as a MIPS ASE extension. -mips16 will mean the
mips16 ASE for mips32 by default.
As part of fixing of adding this we discovered some small changes that
need to be made to MipsInstrInfo::storeRegToStackSLot and
MipsInstrInfo::loadRegFromStackSlot. We were using some "==" equality tests
where in fact we should have been using Mips::<regclas>.hasSubClassEQ instead,
per suggestion of Jakob Stoklund Olesen.

and MCSubtargetInfo.
- Added methods to update subtarget features (used when targets automatically
detect subtarget features or switch modes).
- Teach X86Subtarget to update MCSubtargetInfo features bits since the
MCSubtargetInfo layer can be shared with other modules.
- These fixes .code 16 / .code 32 support since mode switch is updated in
MCSubtargetInfo so MC code emitter can do the right thing.

CPU, and feature string. Parsing some asm directives can change
subtarget state (e.g. .code 16) and it must be reflected in other
modules (e.g. MCCodeEmitter). That is, the MCSubtargetInfo instance
must be shared.
llvm-svn: 134795
- Each target asm parser now creates its own MCSubtatgetInfo (if needed).
- Changed AssemblerPredicate to take subtarget features which tablegen uses
to generate asm matcher subtarget feature queries. e.g.
"ModeThumb,FeatureThumb2" is translated to
"(Bits & ModeThumb) != 0 && (Bits & FeatureThumb2) != 0".

- Refactor TargetSubtarget to be based on MCSubtargetInfo.

and hide more details from targets.

features / scheduling itineray even though clients know full well the CPU name
being used to query these properties.
The fix is to just have the clients explictly pass the CPU name!
