We were previously codegen'ing memcpy as regular load/store operations and
hoping that the register allocator would allocate registers in ascending order
so that we could apply an LDM/STM combine after register allocation. According
to the commit that first introduced this code (r37179), we planned to teach the
register allocator to allocate the registers in ascending order. This never got
implemented, and up to now we've been stuck with very poor codegen.
A much simpler approach for achieving better codegen is to create MEMCPY pseudo
instructions, attach scratch virtual registers to them and then, post register
allocation, expand the MEMCPYs into LDM/STM pairs using the scratch registers.
The register allocator will have picked arbitrary registers which we sort when
expanding the MEMCPY. This approach also avoids the need to repeatedly calculate
offsets which ultimately ought to be eliminated pre-RA in order to decrease
register pressure.
Fixes PR9199 and PR23768.
[This is based on Peter Collingbourne's r238473 which was reverted.]

We were previously codegen'ing these as regular load/store operations and

so that we could apply an LDM/STM combine after register allocation. According
to the commit that first introduced this code (r37179), we planned to teach
the register allocator to allocate the registers in ascending order. This
never got implemented, and up to now we've been stuck with very poor codegen.
A much simpler approach for achiveing better codegen is to create LDM/STM
instructions with identical sets of virtual registers, let the register
allocator pick arbitrary registers and order register lists when printing an
MCInst. This approach also avoids the need to repeatedly calculate offsets
which ultimately ought to be eliminated pre-RA in order to decrease register
pressure.
This is implemented by lowering the memcpy intrinsic to a series of SD-only
MCOPY pseudo-instructions which performs a memory copy using a given number
of registers. During SD->MI lowering, we lower MCOPY to LDM/STM. This is a
little unusual, but it avoids the need to encode register lists in the SD,
and we can take advantage of SD use lists to decide whether to use the _UPD
variant of the instructions.
Fixes PR9199.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.
update.py:
import fileinput
import sys
import re
ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
normrep = re.compile( r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
def conv(match, line):
if not match:
return line
line = match.groups()[0]
if len(match.groups()[5]) == 0:
line += match.groups()[2]
line += match.groups()[3]
line += ", "
line += match.groups()[1]
line += "\n"
return line
for line in sys.stdin:
if line.find("getelementptr ") == line.find("getelementptr inbounds"):
if line.find("getelementptr inbounds") != line.find("getelementptr inbounds ("):
line = conv(re.match(ibrep, line), line)
elif line.find("getelementptr ") != line.find("getelementptr ("):
line = conv(re.match(normrep, line), line)
sys.stdout.write(line)
apply.sh:
for name in "$@"
do
python3 `dirname "$0"`/update.py < "$name" > "$name.tmp" && mv "$name.tmp" "$name"
rm -f "$name.tmp"
done
The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).
The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

There are two add-immediate instructions in Thumb1: tADDi8 and tADDi3. Only
the latter supports using different source and destination registers, so
whenever we materialize a new base register (at a certain offset) we'd do
so by moving the base register value to the new register and then adding in
place. This patch changes the code to use a single tADDi3 if the offset is
small enough to fit in 3 bits.
