Almost all immediates in PowerPC assembly (both 32-bit and 64-bit) are signed
numbers, and it is important that we print them as such. To make sure that
happens, we change PPCTargetLowering::LowerAsmOperandForConstraint so that it
does all intermediate checks on a signed-extended int64_t value, and then
creates the resulting target constant using MVT::i64. This will ensure that all
negative values are printed as negative values (mirroring what is done in other
backends to achieve the same sign-extension effect).
This came up in the context of inline assembly like this:
"add%I2 %0,%0,%2", ..., "Ir"(-1ll)
where we used to print:
addi 3,3,4294967295
and gcc would print:
addi 3,3,-1
and gas accepts both forms, but our builtin assembler (correctly) does not. Now
we print -1 like gcc does.
While here, I replaced a bunch of custom integer checks with isInt<16> and
friends from MathExtras.h.
Thanks to Paul Hargrove for the bug report.

We need to use the custom expansion of readcyclecounter on all 32-bit targets
(even those with 64-bit registers). This should fix the ppc64 buildbot.
llvm-svn: 223182
We've long supported readcyclecounter on PPC64, but it is easier there (the
read of the 64-bit time-base register can be accomplished via a single
instruction). This now provides an implementation for PPC32 as well. On PPC32,
the time-base register is still 64 bits, but can only be read 32 bits at a time
via two separate SPRs. The ISA manual explains how to do this properly (it
involves re-reading the upper bits and looping if the counter has wrapped while
being read).
This requires PPC to implement a custom integer splitting legalization for the
READCYCLECOUNTER node, turning it into a target-specific SDAG node, which then
gets turned into a pseudo-instruction, which is then expanded to the necessary
sequence (which has three SPR reads, the comparison and the branch).
Thanks to Paul Hargrove for pointing out to me that this was still unimplemented.

This does not matter on newer cores (where we can use reciprocal estimates in

Summary:
Large-model was added first. With the addition of support for multiple PIC
models in LLVM, now add small-model PIC for 32-bit PowerPC, SysV4 ABI. This

This patch enables the vec_vsx_ld and vec_vsx_st intrinsics for
PowerPC, which provide programmer access to the lxvd2x, lxvw4x,
stxvd2x, and stxvw4x instructions.
New LLVM intrinsics are provided to represent these four instructions
in IntrinsicsPowerPC.td. These are patterned after the similar
intrinsics for lvx and stvx (Altivec). In PPCInstrVSX.td, these
intrinsics are tied to the code gen patterns, with additional patterns
to allow plain vanilla loads and stores to still generate these
instructions.
At -O1 and higher the intrinsics are immediately converted to loads
and stores in InstCombineCalls.cpp. This will open up more
optimization opportunities while still allowing the correct
instructions to be generated. (Similar code exists for aligned
Altivec loads and stores.)
The new intrinsics are added to the code that checks for consecutive
loads and stores in PPCISelLowering.cpp, as well as to
PPCTargetLowering::getTgtMemIntrinsic().
There's a new test to verify the correct instructions are generated.
The loads and stores tend to be reordered, so the test just counts
their number. It runs at -O2, as it's not very effective to test this
at -O0, when many unnecessary loads and stores are generated.
I ended up having to modify vsx-fma-m.ll. It turns out this test case
is slightly unreliable, but I don't know a good way to prevent
problems with it. The xvmaddmdp instructions read and write the same
register, which is one of the multiplicands. Commutativity allows
either to be chosen. If the FMAs are reordered differently than
expected by the test, the register assignment can be different as a
result. Hopefully this doesn't change often.
There is a companion patch for Clang.

My original support for the general dynamic and local dynamic TLS
models contained some fairly obtuse hacks to generate calls to
__tls_get_addr when lowering a TargetGlobalAddress. Rather than
generating real calls, special GET_TLS_ADDR nodes were used to wrap
the calls and only reveal them at assembly time. I attempted to
provide correct parameter and return values by chaining CopyToReg and
CopyFromReg nodes onto the GET_TLS_ADDR nodes, but this was also not
fully correct. Problems were seen with two back-to-back stores to TLS
variables, where the call sequences ended up overlapping with unhappy
results. Additionally, since these weren't real calls, the proper
register side effects of a call were not recorded, so clobbered values
were kept live across the calls.
The proper thing to do is to lower these into calls in the first
place. This is relatively straightforward; see the changes to
PPCTargetLowering::LowerGlobalTLSAddress() in PPCISelLowering.cpp.
The changes here are standard call lowering, except that we need to
track the fact that these calls will require a relocation. This is
done by adding a machine operand flag of MO_TLSLD or MO_TLSGD to the
TargetGlobalAddress operand that appears earlier in the sequence.
The calls to LowerCallTo() eventually find their way to
LowerCall_64SVR4() or LowerCall_32SVR4(), which call FinishCall(),
which calls PrepareCall(). In PrepareCall(), we detect the calls to
__tls_get_addr and immediately snag the TargetGlobalTLSAddress with
the annotated relocation information. This becomes an extra operand
on the call following the callee, which is expected for nodes of type
tlscall. We change the call opcode to CALL_TLS for this case. Back
in FinishCall(), we change it again to CALL_NOP_TLS for 64-bit only,
since we require a TOC-restore nop following the call for the 64-bit
ABIs.
During selection, patterns in PPCInstrInfo.td and PPCInstr64Bit.td
convert the CALL_TLS nodes into BL_TLS nodes, and convert the
CALL_NOP_TLS nodes into BL8_NOP_TLS nodes. This replaces the code
removed from PPCAsmPrinter.cpp, as the BL_TLS or BL8_NOP_TLS
nodes can now be emitted normally using their patterns and the
associated printTLSCall print method.
Finally, as a result of these changes, all references to get-tls-addr
in its various guises are no longer used, so they have been removed.
There are existing TLS tests to verify the changes haven't messed
anything up). I've added one new test that verifies that the problem
with the original code has been fixed.

Since block address values can be larger than 2GB in 64-bit code, they

JumpTable values are.

A previous patch enabled SELECT_VSRC and SELECT_CC_VSRC for VSX to
handle <2 x double> cases. This patch adds SELECT_VSFRC and
SELECT_CC_VSFRC to allow use of all 64 vector-scalar registers for the
f64 type when VSX is enabled. The changes are analogous to those in
the previous patch. I've added a new variant to vsx.ll to test the
code generation.
(I also cleaned up a little formatting in PPCInstrVSX.td from the
previous patch.)
llvm-svn: 220395
The tests test/CodeGen/Generic/select-cc.ll and
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/select-cc.ll both fail with VSX enabled. The
problem is that the lowering logic for the SELECT and SELECT_CC
operations doesn't currently support the VSX registers. This patch
fixes that.
In lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCInstrInfo.td, we have pseudos to handle this
for other register classes. Similar pseudos are added in
PPCInstrVSX.td (they must be there, because the "vsrc" register class
definition appears there) for the VSRC register class. The
SELECT_VSRC pseudo is then used in pattern matching for SELECT_CC.
The rest of the patch just adds logic for SELECT_VSRC wherever similar
logic appears for SELECT_VRRC.
There are no new test cases because the existing tests above test
this, along with a variant in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vsx.ll.
After discussion with Hal, a future patch will add similar _VSFRC
variants to override f64 type handling (currently using F8RC).
llvm-svn: 220385
Currently the VSX support enables use of lxvd2x and stxvd2x for 2x64
types, but does not yet use lxvw4x and stxvw4x for 4x32 types. This
patch adds that support.
As with lxvd2x/stxvd2x, this involves straightforward overriding of
the patterns normally recognized for lvx/stvx, with preference given
to the VSX patterns when VSX is enabled.
In addition, the logic for permitting misaligned memory accesses is
modified so that v4r32 and v4i32 are treated the same as v2f64 and
v2i64 when VSX is enabled. Finally, the DAG generation for unaligned
loads is changed to just use a normal LOAD (which will become lxvw4x)
on P8 and later hardware, where unaligned loads are preferred over
lvsl/lvx/lvx/vperm.
A number of tests now generate the VSX loads/stores instead of
lvx/stvx, so this patch adds VSX variants to those tests. I've also
added <4 x float> tests to the vsx.ll test case, and created a
vsx-p8.ll test case to be used for testing code generation for the
P8Vector feature. For now, that simply tests the unaligned load/store
behavior.
This has been tested along with a temporary patch to enable the VSX
and P8Vector features, with no new regressions encountered with or
without the temporary patch applied.

Summary:
Atomic loads and store of up to the native size (32 bits, or 64 for PPC64)
can be lowered to a simple load or store instruction (as the synchronization
is already handled by AtomicExpand, and the atomicity is guaranteed thanks to
the alignment requirements of atomic accesses). This is exactly what this patch
does. Previously, these were implemented by complex
load-linked/store-conditional loops.. an obvious performance problem.
For example, this patch turns
```
define void @store_i8_unordered(i8* %mem) {
store atomic i8 42, i8* %mem unordered, align 1
ret void

It was hacky to use an opcode as a switch because it won't always match
(rsqrte != sqrte), and it looks like we'll need to add more special casing
per arch than I had hoped for. Eg, x86 will prefer a different NR estimate
implementation. ARM will want to use it's 'step' instructions. There also
don't appear to be any new estimate instructions in any arch in a long,
long time. Altivec vloge and vexpte may have been the first and last in
that field...

And:

The heuristic used by DAGCombine to form FMAs checks that the FMUL has only one
use, but this is overly-conservative on some systems. Specifically, if the FMA
and the FADD have the same latency (and the FMA does not compete for resources
with the FMUL any more than the FADD does), there is no need for the
restriction, and furthermore, forming the FMA leaving the FMUL can still allow
for higher overall throughput and decreased critical-path length.
Here we add a new TLI callback, enableAggressiveFMAFusion, false by default, to
elide the hasOneUse check. This is enabled for PowerPC by default, as most
PowerPC systems will benefit.

That name doesn't specify signed or unsigned.
Lazy as I am, I eventually read the function and variable comments. It turns out that this is strictly about signed div. But I discovered that the comments are wrong:
srl/add/sra

sra/srl/add/sra
That's the sequence produced in DAGCombiner. The first 'sra' may be removed when dividing by exactly '2', but that's a special case.

A byval object, even if allocated at a fixed offset (prescribed by the ABI) is
pointed to by IR values. Most fixed-offset stack objects are not pointed-to by

miscompiles otherwise).

llvm-svn: 215795
On PPC/Darwin, byval arguments occur at fixed stack offsets in the callee's
frame, but are not immutable -- the pointer value is directly available to the
higher-level code as the address of the argument, and the value of the byval
argument can be modified at the IR level.
This is necessary, but not sufficient, to fix PR20280. When PR20280 is fixed in

This implements PPCTargetLowering::getTgtMemIntrinsic for Altivec load/store
intrinsics. As with the construction of the MachineMemOperands for the
intrinsic calls used for unaligned load/store lowering, the only slight
complication is that we need to represent a larger memory range than the
loaded/stored value-type size (because the address is rounded down to an
aligned address, and we need to conservatively represent the entire possible
range of the actual access). This required adding an extra size field to
TargetLowering::IntrinsicInfo, and this was done in a way that required no
modifications to other targets (the size defaults to the store size of the
provided memory data type).
This fixes test/CodeGen/PowerPC/unal-altivec-wint.ll (so it can be un-XFAILed).

indicating to its caller whether its needs to swap the input operands
and/or negate the result of the comparison. Apart from implementing
these two modifications as directed by getVCmpInst, there is no need
to ever implement vector comparisons in any other manner; in particular,
there is never a need to perform two separate comparisons (e.g. one for
equal and one for greater-than, as code used to do before this patch).

Altivec vector loads on PowerPC have an interesting property: They always load
from an aligned address (by rounding down the address actually provided if
necessary). In order to generate an actual unaligned load, you can generate two
load instructions, one with the original address, one offset by one vector
length, and use a special permutation to extract the bytes desired.
When this was originally implemented, I generated these two loads using regular
ISD::LOAD nodes, now marked as aligned. Unfortunately, there is a problem with
this:
The alignment of a load does not contribute to its identity, and SDNodes
are uniqued. So, imagine that we have some unaligned load, L1, that is not
aligned. The routine will create two loads, L1(aligned) and (L1+16)(aligned).
Further imagine that there had already existed a load (L1+16)(unaligned) with
the same chain operand as the load L1. When (L1+16)(aligned) is created as part
of the lowering of L1, this load *is* also the (L1+16)(unaligned) node, just
now marked as aligned (because the new alignment overwrites the old). But the
original users of (L1+16)(unaligned) now get the data intended for the
permutation yielding the data for L1, and (L1+16)(unaligned) no longer exists
to get its own permutation-based expansion. This was PR19991.
A second potential problem has to do with the MMOs on these loads, which can be
used by AA during instruction scheduling to break chain-based dependencies. If
the new "aligned" loads get the MMO from the original unaligned load, this does
not represent the fact that it will load data from below the original address.
Normally, this would not matter, but this load might be combined with another
load pair for a previous vector, and then the dependency on the otherwise-
ignored lower bytes can matter.
To fix both problems, instead of generating the necessary loads using regular
ISD::LOAD instructions, ppc_altivec_lvx intrinsics are used instead. These are
provided with MMOs with a conservative address range.
Unfortunately, I no longer have a failing test case (since PR19991 was
reported, other changes in CodeGen have forced this bug back into hiding it
again). Nevertheless, this should fix the underlying problem.
llvm-svn: 214481
When generating unaligned vector loads, we need to search for other loads or
stores nearby offset by one vector width. If we find one, then we know that we
can safely generate another aligned load at that address. Otherwise, we must
generate the next load using an offset of the vector width minus one byte (so
we don't read off the end of the allocation if the base unaligned address
happened to be aligned at runtime). We had previously done this using only
other vector loads and stores, but did not consider the PowerPC-specific vector
load/store intrinsics. Now we'll also consider vector intrinsics. By itself,
this change is a feature enhancement, but is a necessary step toward fixing the
underlying problem behind PR19991.
llvm-svn: 214469
Currently when DAGCombine converts loads feeding a switch into a switch of
addresses feeding a load the new load inherits the isInvariant flag of the left
side. This is incorrect since invariant loads can be reordered in cases where it
is illegal to reoarder normal loads.
This patch adds an isInvariant parameter to getExtLoad() and updates all call
sites to pass in the data if they have it or false if they don't. It also
changes the DAGCombine to use that data to make the right decision when
creating the new load.

Rename to allowsMisalignedMemoryAccess.

Because the PowerPC vmrgh* and vmrgl* instructions have a built-in
big-endian bias, it is necessary to swap their inputs in little-endian
mode when using them to implement a vector shuffle. This was
previously missed in the vector LE implementation.
There was already logic to distinguish between unary and "normal"
vmrg* vector shuffles, so this patch extends that logic to use a third
option: "swapped" vmrg* vector shuffles that are used for little
endian in place of the "normal" ones.
I've updated the vec-shuffle-le.ll test to check for the expected
register ordering on the generated instructions.
This bug was discovered when testing the LE and ELFv2 patches for
safety if they were backported to 3.4. A different vectorization
decision was made in 3.4 than on mainline trunk, and that exposed the
problem. I've verified this fix takes care of that issue.
llvm-svn: 213915
This patch adds infrastructure support for passing array types
directly. These can be used by the front-end to pass aggregate
types (coerced to an appropriate array type). The details of the
array type being used inform the back-end about ABI-relevant
properties. Specifically, the array element type encodes:
- whether the parameter should be passed in FPRs, VRs, or just
GPRs/stack slots (for float / vector / integer element types,
respectively)
- what the alignment requirements of the parameter are when passed in
GPRs/stack slots (8 for float / 16 for vector / the element type
size for integer element types) -- this corresponds to the
"byval align" field
Using the infrastructure provided by this patch, a companion patch
to clang will enable two features:
- In the ELFv2 ABI, pass (and return) "homogeneous" floating-point
or vector aggregates in FPRs and VRs (this is similar to the ARM
homogeneous aggregate ABI)
- As an optimization for both ELFv1 and ELFv2 ABIs, pass aggregates
that fit fully in registers without using the "byval" mechanism
The patch uses the functionArgumentNeedsConsecutiveRegisters callback
to encode that special treatment is required for all directly-passed
array types. The isInConsecutiveRegs / isInConsecutiveRegsLast bits set
as a results are then used to implement the required size and alignment
rules in CalculateStackSlotSize / CalculateStackSlotAlignment etc.
As a related change, the ABI routines have to be modified to support
passing floating-point types in GPRs. This is necessary because with
homogeneous aggregates of 4-byte float type we can now run out of FPRs
*before* we run out of the 64-byte argument save area that is shadowed
by GPRs. Any extra floating-point arguments that no longer fit in FPRs
must now be passed in GPRs until we run out of those too.
Note that there was already code to pass floating-point arguments in
GPRs used with vararg parameters, which was done by writing the argument
out to the argument save area first and then reloading into GPRs. The
patch re-implements this, however, in favor of code packing float arguments
directly via extension/truncation, BITCAST, and BUILD_PAIR operations.
This is required to support the ELFv2 ABI, since we cannot unconditionally
write to the argument save area (which the caller might not have allocated).
The change does, however, affect ELFv1 varags routines too; but even here
the overall effect should be advantageous: Instead of loading the argument
into the FPR, then storing the argument to the stack slot, and finally
reloading the argument from the stack slot into a GPR, the new code now
just loads the argument into the FPR, and subsequently loads the argument
into the GPR (via BITCAST). That BITCAST might imply a save/reload from
a stack temporary (in which case we're no worse than before); but it
might be implemented more efficiently in some cases.
The final part of the patch enables up to 8 FPRs and VRs for argument
return in PPCCallingConv.td; this is required to support returning
ELFv2 homogeneous aggregates. (Note that this doesn't affect other ABIs
since LLVM wil only look for which register to use if the parameter is
marked as "direct" return anyway.)
