The current VSX feature for PowerPC specifies availability of the VSX
instructions added with the 2.06 architecture version. With 2.07, the
architecture adds new instructions to both the Category:Vector and
Category:VSX instruction sets. Additionally, unaligned vector storage
operations have improved performance.
This patch adds a feature to provide access to the new instructions
and performance capabilities of Power8. For compatibility with GCC,
the feature is controlled via a new -mpower8-vector switch, and the
feature causes the __POWER8_VECTOR__ builtin define to be generated by
the preprocessor.
There is a companion patch for cfe being committed at the same time.

Older Book-E cores, such as the PPC 440, support only msync (which has the same
encoding as sync 0), but not any of the other sync forms. Newer Book-E cores,
however, do support sync, and for performance reasons we should allow the use
of the more-general form.
This refactors msync use into its own feature group so that it applies by
default only to older Book-E cores (of the relevant cores, we only have
definitions for the PPC440/450 currently).

While LLVM now supports both ELFv1 and ELFv2 ABIs, their use is currently
hard-coded via the target triple: powerpc64-linux is always ELFv1, while
powerpc64le-linux is always ELFv2.
These are of course the most common scenarios, but in principle it is
possible to support the ELFv2 ABI on big-endian or the ELFv1 ABI on
little-endian systems (and GCC does support that), and there are some
special use cases for that (e.g. certain Linux kernel versions could
only be built using ELFv1 on LE).
This patch implements the LLVM side of supporting this. As precedent
on other platforms suggests, ABI options are passed to the back-end as
features. Thus, this patch implements two features "elfv1" and "elfv2"
that select the desired ABI if present. (If not, the LLVM uses the
same default rules as now.)
llvm-svn: 214072
This patch builds upon the two preceding MC changes to implement the
basic ELFv2 function call convention. In the ELFv1 ABI, a "function
descriptor" was associated with every function, pointing to both the
entry address and the related TOC base (and a static chain pointer
for nested functions). Function pointers would actually refer to that
descriptor, and the indirect call sequence needed to load up both entry
address and TOC base.
In the ELFv2 ABI, there are no more function descriptors, and function
pointers simply refer to the (global) entry point of the function code.
Indirect function calls simply branch to that address, after loading it
up into r12 (as required by the ABI rules for a global entry point).
Direct function calls continue to just do a "bl" to the target symbol;
this will be resolved by the linker to the local entry point of the
target function if it is local, and to a PLT stub if it is global.
That PLT stub would then load the (global) entry point address of the
final target into r12 and branch to it. Note that when performing a
local function call, r2 must be set up to point to the current TOC
base: if the target ends up local, the ABI requires that its local
entry point is called with r2 set up; if the target ends up global,
the PLT stub requires that r2 is set up.
This patch implements all LLVM changes to implement that scheme:
- No longer create a function descriptor when emitting a function
definition (in EmitFunctionEntryLabel)
- Emit two entry points *if* the function needs the TOC base (r2)
anywhere (this is done EmitFunctionBodyStart; note that this cannot
be done in EmitFunctionBodyStart because the global entry point
prologue code must be *part* of the function as covered by debug info).
- In order to make use tracking of r2 (as needed above) work correctly,
mark direct function calls as implicitly using r2.
- Implement the ELFv2 indirect function call sequence (no function
descriptors; load target address into r12).
- When creating an ELFv2 object file, emit the .abiversion 2 directive
to tell the linker to create the appropriate version of PLT stubs.

Refactoring; no functional changes intended
Removed PostRAScheduler bits from subtargets (X86, ARM).
Added PostRAScheduler bit to MCSchedModel class.
This bit is set by a CPU's scheduling model (if it exists).
Removed enablePostRAScheduler() function from TargetSubtargetInfo and subclasses.
Fixed the existing enablePostMachineScheduler() method to use the MCSchedModel (was just returning false!).
Added methods to TargetSubtargetInfo to allow overrides for AntiDepBreakMode, CriticalPathRCs, and OptLevel for PostRAScheduling.
Added enablePostRAScheduler() function to PostRAScheduler class which queries the subtarget for the above values.
Preserved existing scheduler behavior for ARM, MIPS, PPC, and X86:
a. ARM overrides the CPU's postRA settings by enabling postRA for any non-Thumb or Thumb2 subtarget.
b. MIPS overrides the CPU's postRA settings by enabling postRA for everything.
c. PPC overrides the CPU's postRA settings by enabling postRA for everything.
d. X86 is the only target that actually has postRA specified via sched model info.

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.

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).

Modern PPC cores support a floating-point copysign instruction, and we can use
this to lower the FCOPYSIGN node (which is created from calls to the libm
copysign function). A couple of extra patterns are necessary because the
operand types of FCOPYSIGN need not agree.

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 change mirrors the changes that were made to the X86 and ARM targets to
support subtarget feature changing. As indicated in r182899, the mechanism is
still undergoing revision, and so as with the X86 and ARM targets, there is no
test case yet (there is no effective functionality change).

When unsafe FP math operations are enabled, we can use the fre[s] and
frsqrte[s] instructions, which generate reciprocal (sqrt) estimates, together
with some Newton iteration, in order to quickly generate floating-point
division and sqrt results. All of these instructions are separately optional,
and so each has its own feature flag (except for the Altivec instructions,
which are covered under the existing Altivec flag). Doing this is not only
faster than using the IEEE-compliant fdiv/fsqrt instructions, but allows these
computations to be pipelined with other computations in order to hide their
overall latency.
I've also added a couple of missing fnmsub patterns which turned out to be
missing (but are necessary for good code generation of the Newton iterations).
Altivec needs a similar fix, but that will probably be more complicated because
fneg is expanded for Altivec's v4f32.

The P7 and A2 have additional floating-point conversion instructions which
allow a direct two-instruction sequence (plus load/store) to convert from all
combinations (signed/unsigned i32/i64) <--> (float/double) (on previous cores,
only some combinations were directly available).
llvm-svn: 178480
This instruction is available on modern PPC64 CPUs, and is now used
to improve the SINT_TO_FP lowering (by eliminating the need for the
separate sign extension instruction and decreasing the amount of
needed stack space).
llvm-svn: 178446
These instructions are available on the P5x (and later) and on the A2. They
implement the standard floating-point rounding operations (floor, trunc, etc.).
One caveat: frin (round to nearest) does not implement "ties to even", and so
is only enabled in fast-math mode.
llvm-svn: 178337
These are 64-bit load/store with byte-swap, and available on the P7 and the A2.
