This patch introduces a new pass that computes the safe point to insert the
prologue and epilogue of the function.
The interest is to find safe points that are cheaper than the entry and exits
blocks.
As an example and to avoid regressions to be introduce, this patch also
implements the required bits to enable the shrink-wrapping pass for AArch64.
** Context **
Currently we insert the prologue and epilogue of the method/function in the
entry and exits blocks. Although this is correct, we can do a better job when
those are not immediately required and insert them at less frequently executed
places.
The job of the shrink-wrapping pass is to identify such places.
** Motivating example **
Let us consider the following function that perform a call only in one branch of
a if:
define i32 @f(i32 %a, i32 %b) {
%tmp = alloca i32, align 4
%tmp2 = icmp slt i32 %a, %b
br i1 %tmp2, label %true, label %false
true:
store i32 %a, i32* %tmp, align 4
%tmp4 = call i32 @doSomething(i32 0, i32* %tmp)
br label %false
false:
%tmp.0 = phi i32 [ %tmp4, %true ], [ %a, %0 ]
ret i32 %tmp.0
}
On AArch64 this code generates (removing the cfi directives to ease
readabilities):
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stur w0, [x29, #-4]
sub x1, x29, #4 ; =4
mov w0, wzr
bl _doSomething
LBB0_2: ; %false
mov sp, x29
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
ret
With shrink-wrapping we could generate:
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
stur w0, [x29, #-4]
sub x1, x29, #4 ; =4
mov w0, wzr
bl _doSomething
add sp, x29, #16 ; =16
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
LBB0_2: ; %false
ret
Therefore, we would pay the overhead of setting up/destroying the frame only if
we actually do the call.
** Proposed Solution **
This patch introduces a new machine pass that perform the shrink-wrapping
analysis (See the comments at the beginning of ShrinkWrap.cpp for more details).
It then stores the safe save and restore point into the MachineFrameInfo
attached to the MachineFunction.
This information is then used by the PrologEpilogInserter (PEI) to place the
related code at the right place. This pass runs right before the PEI.
Unlike the original paper of Chow from PLDI’88, this implementation of
shrink-wrapping does not use expensive data-flow analysis and does not need hack
to properly avoid frequently executed point. Instead, it relies on dominance and
loop properties.
The pass is off by default and each target can opt-in by setting the
EnableShrinkWrap boolean to true in their derived class of TargetPassConfig.
This setting can also be overwritten on the command line by using
-enable-shrink-wrap.
Before you try out the pass for your target, make sure you properly fix your
emitProlog/emitEpilog/adjustForXXX method to cope with basic blocks that are not
necessarily the entry block.
** Design Decisions **
1. ShrinkWrap is its own pass right now. It could frankly be merged into PEI but
for debugging and clarity I thought it was best to have its own file.
2. Right now, we only support one save point and one restore point. At some
point we can expand this to several save point and restore point, the impacted
component would then be:
- The pass itself: New algorithm needed.
- MachineFrameInfo: Hold a list or set of Save/Restore point instead of one
pointer.
- PEI: Should loop over the save point and restore point.
Anyhow, at least for this first iteration, I do not believe this is interesting
to support the complex cases. We should revisit that when we motivating
examples.

time. The target independent code was passing in one all the
time and targets weren't checking validity before using. Update
a few calls to pass in a MachineFunction where necessary.

The main issue being fixed here is that APCS targets handling a "byval align N"
parameter with N > 4 were miscounting what objects were where on the stack,
leading to FrameLowering setting the frame pointer incorrectly and clobbering
the stack.
But byval handling had grown over many years, and had multiple layers of cruft
trying to compensate for each other and calculate padding correctly. This only
really needs to be done once, in the HandleByVal function. Elsewhere should
just do what it's told by that call.
I also stripped out unnecessary APCS/AAPCS distinctions (now that Clang emits
byvals with the correct C ABI alignment), which simplified HandleByVal.

Followup to r224294:
ARM/AArch64: Attach the FrameSetup MIFlag to CFI instructions.
Debug info marks the first instruction without the FrameSetup flag
as being the end of the function prologue. Any CFI instructions in the
middle of the function prologue would cause debug info to end the prologue
too early and worse, attach the line number of the CFI instruction, which
incidentally is often 0.

This reverts r214893, re-applying r214881 with the test case relaxed a bit to
satiate the build bots.
POP on armv4t cannot be used to change thumb state (unilke later non-m-class
architectures), therefore we need a different return sequence that uses 'bx'
instead:
POP {r3}
ADD sp, #offset
BX r3
This patch also fixes an issue where the return value in r3 would get clobbered
for functions that return 128 bits of data. In that case, we generate this
sequence instead:
MOV ip, r3
POP {r3}
ADD sp, #offset
MOV lr, r3
MOV r3, ip
BX lr

Update the MIPS subtarget switching machinery to update this pointer

The old system was fairly convoluted:
* A temporary label was created.
* A single PROLOG_LABEL was created with it.
* A few MCCFIInstructions were created with the same label.
The semantics were that the cfi instructions were mapped to the PROLOG_LABEL
via the temporary label. The output position was that of the PROLOG_LABEL.
The temporary label itself was used only for doing the mapping.
The new CFI_INSTRUCTION has a 1:1 mapping to MCCFIInstructions and points to
one by holding an index into the CFI instructions of this function.
I did consider removing MMI.getFrameInstructions completelly and having
CFI_INSTRUCTION own a MCCFIInstruction, but MCCFIInstructions have non
trivial constructors and destructors and are somewhat big, so the this setup
is probably better.
The net result is that we don't create temporary labels that are never used.

The changes caused by folding an sp-adjustment into a "pop" previously
disrupted the forward search for the final real instruction in a
terminating block. This switches to a backward search (skipping debug
instrs).
This fixes PR18399.

The ARM backend has been using most of the MachO related subtarget
checks almost interchangeably, and since the only target it's had to
run on has been IOS (which is all three of MachO, Darwin and IOS) it's
worked out OK so far.
But we'd like to support embedded targets under the "*-*-none-macho"
triple, which means everything starts falling apart and inconsistent
behaviours emerge.
This patch should pick a reasonably sensible set of behaviours for the
new triple (and any others that come along, with luck). Some choices
were debatable (notably FP == r7 or r11), but we can revisit those
later when deficiencies become apparent.
llvm-svn: 198617
Previously, we clobbered callee-saved registers when folding an "add
sp, #N" into a "pop {rD, ...}" instruction. This change checks whether
a register we're going to add to the "pop" could actually be live
outside the function before doing so and should fix the issue.
This should fix PR18081.
llvm-svn: 196046
ARM prologues usually look like:
push {r7, lr}
sub sp, sp, #4
If code size is extremely important, this can be optimised to the single
instruction:
push {r6, r7, lr}
where we don't actually care about the contents of r6, but pushing it subtracts
4 from sp as a side effect.
This should implement such a conversion, predicated on the "minsize" function
attribute (-Oz) since I've yet to find any code it actually makes faster.
llvm-svn: 194264
ResolveFrameIndex had what appeared to be a very nasty hack for when the
frame-index referred to a callee-saved register. In this case it "adjusted" the
offset so that the address was correct if (and only if) the MachineInstr
immediately followed the respective push.
This "worked" for all forms of GPR & DPR but was only ever used to set the
frame pointer itself, and once this was put in a more sensible location the
entire state-tracking machinery it relied on became redundant. So I stripped
it.
The only wrinkle is that "add r7, sp, #0" might theoretically be slower (need
an actual ALU slot) compared to "mov r7, sp" so I added a micro-optimisation
that also makes emitARMRegUpdate and emitT2RegUpdate also work when NumBytes ==
0.
No test changes since there shouldn't be any functionality change.

Introduction:
In case when stack alignment is 8 and GPRs parameter part size is not N*8:
we add padding to GPRs part, so part's last byte must be recovered at
address K*8-1.
We need to do it, since remained (stack) part of parameter starts from
address K*8, and we need to "attach" "GPRs head" without gaps to it:
Stack:
|---- 8 bytes block ----| |---- 8 bytes block ----| |---- 8 bytes...
[ [padding] [GPRs head] ] [ ------ Tail passed via stack ------ ...
FIX:
Note, once we added padding we need to correct *all* Arg offsets that are going
after padded one. That's why we need this fix: Arg offsets were never corrected
before this patch. See new test-cases included in patch.
We also don't need to insert padding for byval parameters that are stored in GPRs
only. We need pad only last byval parameter and only in case it outsides GPRs
and stack alignment = 8.
Though, stack area, allocated for recovered byval params, must satisfy
"Size mod 8 = 0" restriction.
This patch reduces stack usage for some cases:
We can reduce ArgRegsSaveArea since inner N*4 bytes sized byval params my be
"packed" with alignment 4 in some cases.

1. VarArgStyleRegisters: functionality that emits "store" instructions for byval regs moved out into separated method "StoreByValRegs". Before this patch VarArgStyleRegisters had confused use-cases. It was used for both variadic functions and for regular functions with byval parameters. In last case it created new stack-frame and registered it as VarArg frame, that is wrong.
This patch replaces VarArgsStyleRegisters usage for byval parameters with StoreByValRegs method.
2. In ARMMachineFunctionInfo, "get/setVarArgsRegSaveSize" was renamed to "get/setArgRegsSaveSize". By the same reason. Sometimes it was used for variadic functions, and sometimes for byval parameters in regular functions. Actually, this property means the size of registers, that keeps arguments, and thats why it was renamed.
3. In ARMISelLowering.cpp, ARMTargetLowering class, in methods computeRegArea and StoreByValRegs, VARegXXXXXX was renamed to ArgRegsXXXXXX still by the same reasons.

to TargetFrameLowering, where it belongs. Incidentally, this allows us
to delete some duplicated (and slightly different!) code in TRI.
There are potentially other layering problems that can be cleaned up
as a result, or in a similar manner.
The refactoring was OK'd by Anton Korobeynikov on llvmdev.
Note: this touches the target interfaces, so out-of-tree targets may
be affected.

It is possible that frame pointer is not found in the
callee saved info, thus FramePtrSpillFI may be incorrect
if we don't check the result of hasFP(MF).
Besides, if we enable the stack coloring algorithm, there
will be an assertion to ensure the slot is live. But in
the test case, %var1 is not live in the prologue of the
function, and we will get the assertion failure.
Note: There is similar code in ARMFrameLowering.cpp.

This function is often used to decorate dangling instructions, so a
context reference is required to allocate memory for the operands.
Also add a corresponding MachineInstrBuilder method.
llvm-svn: 170797
rdar://10288916 is tracking this fix.
In the past, instcombine and other passes were promoting alloca alignment past
the natural alignment, resulting in dynamic stack realignment. Lang's work now
prevents this from happening (LLVM commit r141599). Now that this really
shouldn't happen report a fatal error rather than silently generate bad code.

Add the predicate operand to the instructions. Update the back end
accordingly where the instructions are used. Restrict the SP operands
to actually only be SP, as otherwise these break assembly parsing for the
normal instruction variants.
llvm-svn: 138445
The normal tBX instruction is predicable, so there's no reason the
pseudos for using it as a return shouldn't be. Gives us some nice code-gen
improvements as can be seen by the test changes. In particular, several
tests now have to disable if-conversion because it works too well and defeats
the test.
llvm-svn: 134746
Merge the tMOVr, tMOVgpr2tgpr, tMOVtgpr2gpr, and tMOVgpr2gpr instructions
into tMOVr. There's no need to keep them separate. Giving the tMOVr
instruction the proper GPR register class for its operands is sufficient
to give the register allocator enough information to do the right thing
directly.
llvm-svn: 134204
Fix a FIXME and allow predication (in Thumb2) for the T1 register to
register MOV instructions. This allows some better codegen with
if-conversion (as seen in the test updates), plus it lays the groundwork
for pseudo-izing the tMOVCC instructions.
llvm-svn: 134197
The tSpill and tRestore instructions are just copies of the tSTRspi and
tLDRspi instructions, respectively. Just use those directly instead.

The logic for reserving R4 for use as a scratch needs to match that for
actually using it. Also, it's not necessary for immediate <=508, so adjust
the value checked.
