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...

This is purely refactoring. No functional changes intended. PowerPC is the only target
that is currently using this interface.
The ultimate goal is to allow targets other than PowerPC (certainly X86 and Aarch64) to turn this:
z = y / sqrt(x)
into:
z = y * rsqrte(x)
And:
z = y / x
into:
z = y * rcpe(x)
using whatever HW magic they can use. See http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20900 .
There is one hook in TargetLowering to get the target-specific opcode for an estimate instruction
along with the number of refinement steps needed to make the estimate usable.

Summary:
This patch makes use of AtomicExpandPass in Power for inserting fences around
atomic as part of an effort to remove fence insertion from SelectionDAGBuilder.
As a big bonus, it lets us use sync 1 (lightweight sync, often used by the mnemonic
lwsync) instead of sync 0 (heavyweight sync) in many cases.
I also added a test, as there was no test for the barriers emitted by the Power
backend for atomic loads and stores.

The code in DAGCombiner::BuildRSQRTE() should be refactored further; tests that exercise that logic need to be added.

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
is not the general sequence for signed integer division by power-of-2. We need one more '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
IR values, so the default is to assume this is not possible. However, we need
to override the default in this case (instruction scheduling can cause
miscompiles otherwise).
Fixes PR20280.
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).

This patch refactors code generation of vector comparisons.
This fixes a wrong code-gen bug for ISD::SETGE for floating-point types,
and improves generated code for vector comparisons in general.
Specifically, the patch moves all logic deciding how to implement vector
comparisons into getVCmpInst, which gets two extra boolean outputs
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.

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.

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.)

The ELFv2 ABI reduces the amount of stack required to implement an
ABI-compliant function call in two ways:
* the "linkage area" is reduced from 48 bytes to 32 bytes by
eliminating two unused doublewords
* the 64-byte "parameter save area" is now optional and need not be
present in certain cases (it remains mandatory in functions with
variable arguments, and functions that have any parameter that is
passed on the stack)
The following patch implements this required changes:
- reducing the linkage area, and associated relocation of the TOC save
slot, in getLinkageSize / getTOCSaveOffset (this requires updating all
callers of these routines to pass in the isELFv2ABI flag).
- (partially) handling the case where the parameter save are is optional
This latter part requires some extra explanation: Currently, we still
always allocate the parameter save area when *calling* a function.
That is certainly always compliant with the ABI, but may cause code to
allocate stack unnecessarily. This can be addressed by a follow-on
optimization patch.
On the *callee* side, in LowerFormalArguments, we *must* track
correctly whether the ABI guarantees that the caller has allocated
the parameter save area for our use, and the patch does so. However,
there is one complication: the code that handles incoming "byval"
arguments will currently *always* write to the parameter save area,
because it has to force incoming register arguments to the stack since
it must return an *address* to implement the byval semantics.
To fix this, the patch changes the LowerFormalArguments code to write
arguments to a freshly allocated stack slot on the function's own stack
frame instead of the argument save area in those cases where that area
is not present.

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.

When handling an incoming byval argument, we need to possibly write
incoming registers to the stack in order to create an on-stack image
of the parameter, so we can return its address to common code.
This currently uses CreateFixedObject to access the parts of the
parameter save area where the argument is (or needs to be) stored.
However, sometimes we need to access multiple parts of that area,
e.g. to write multiple registers. The code currently uses a new
CreateFixedObject call for each of these accesses, resulting in
a patchwork of overlapping (fixed) stack objects.
This doesn't really matter in the case of fixed objects, since
any access to those turns into a fixed stackpointer + offset
address anyway. However, with the upcoming ELFv2 patches, we
may actually need to place an incoming argument into our *own*
stack frame instead of the caller's. This means we need to use
CreateStackObject instead, and we cannot have multiple overlapping
instances of those.
To make the rest of the argument handling code work equally in
both situations, this patch refactors it to always use just a
single call to CreateFixedObject, and access parts of that object
as required using address arithmetic. This way, we can in a future
patch substitute CreateStackObject without further changes.

The PPCTargetLowering::SelectAddressRegImm routine needs to handle
FrameIndex nodes in a special manner, by tranlating them into a
TargetFrameIndex node. This was done in most cases, but seems to
have been neglected in one path: when the input tree has an OR of
the FrameIndex with an immediate. This can happen if the FrameIndex
can be proven to be sufficiently aligned that an OR of that immediate
is equivalent to an ADD.
The missing handling of FrameIndex in that case caused the SelectionDAG
instruction selection to miss opportunities to merge the OR back into
the FrameIndex node, leading to superfluous addi/ori instructions in

Arguments passed as "byval align" should get the specified alignment
in the parameter save area. There was some code in PPCISelLowering.cpp
that attempted to implement this, but this didn't work correctly:
while code did update the ArgOffset value, it neglected to update
the PtrOff value (which was already computed from the old ArgOffset),
and it also neglected to update GPR_idx -- fields skipped due to
alignment in the save area must likewise be skipped in GPRs.
This patch fixes and simplifies this logic by:
- handling argument offset alignment right at the beginning
of argument processing, using a new helper routine
CalculateStackSlotAlignment (this avoids having to update
PtrOff and other derived values later on)
- not tracking GPR_idx separately, but always computing the
correct GPR_idx for each argument *from* its ArgOffset
- removing some redundant computation in LowerFormalArguments:
MinReservedArea must equal ArgOffset after argument processing,
so there's no use in computing it twice.
[This doesn't change the behavior of the current clang front-end,
since that never creates "byval align" arguments at the moment.
This will change with a follow-on patch, however.]

As of r211495, the only remaining users of getMinCallFrameSize are in
core ABI code (LowerFormalParameter / LowerCall). This is actually a
good thing, since the details of the parameter save area are ABI specific.
With the new ELFv2 ABI in particular, the rules defining the size of the
save area will become significantly more complex, so it wouldn't make
sense to implement those outside ABI code that has all required
information.
In preparation, this patch eliminates the getMinCallFrameSize (and
associated getMinCallArgumentsSize) routines, and inlines them into all
callers. Note that since nearly all call arguments are constant, this
allows simplifying the inlined copies to a single line everywhere.

The PPCISelLowering.cpp routines PPCTargetLowering::setMinReservedArea and
CalculateParameterAndLinkageAreaSize are currently used as subroutines
from both 64-bit SVR4 and Darwin ABI code.
However, the two ABIs are already quite different w.r.t. AltiVec
conventions, and they will become more different when the ELFv2 ABI is
supported. Also, in general it seems better to disentangle ABI support
routines for different ABIs to avoid accidentally affecting one ABI when
intending to change only the other.
(Actually, the current code strictly speaking already contains a bug:
these routines call PPCFrameLowering::getMinCallFrameSize and
PPCFrameLowering::getLinkageSize with the IsDarwin parameter set to
"true" even on 64-bit SVR4. This bug currently has no adverse effect
since those routines always return the same for 64-bit SVR4 and 64-bit
Darwin, but it still seems wrong ... I'll fix this in a follow-up
commit shortly.)
To remove this code sharing, I'm simply inlining both routines into all
call sites (there are just two each, one for 64-bit SVR4 and one for
Darwin), and simplifying due to constant parameters where possible.
A small piece of code that *does* make sense to share is refactored into
the new routine EnsureStackAlignment, now also called from 32-bit SVR4
ABI code.

Current 64-bit SVR4 code seems to have some remnants of Darwin code
in AltiVec argument handing. This had the effect that AltiVec arguments
(or subsequent arguments) were not correctly placed in the parameter area
in some cases.
The correct behaviour with the 64-bit SVR4 ABI is:
- All AltiVec arguments take up space in the parameter area, just like
any other arguments, whether vararg or not.
- They are always 16-byte aligned, skipping a parameter area doubleword
(and the associated GPR, if any), if necessary.
This patch implements the correct behaviour and adds a test case.
(Verified against GCC behaviour via the ABI compat test suite.)
llvm-svn: 211492
When small arguments (structures < 8 bytes or "float") are passed in a
stack slot in the ppc64 SVR4 ABI, they must reside in the least
significant part of that slot. On BE, this means that an offset needs
to be added to the stack address of the parameter, but on LE, the least
significant part of the slot has the same address as the slot itself.
This changes the PowerPC back-end ABI code to only add the small
argument stack slot offset for BE. It also adds test cases to verify
the correct behavior on both BE and LE.

When looking at the 64-bit SVR4 indirect call sequence, I noticed
an unnecessary load of r12. And indeed the code says:
// R12 must contain the address of an indirect callee.
But this is not correct; in the 64-bit SVR4 (ELFv1) ABI, there is
no need to load r12 at this point. It seems this code and comment
is a remnant of code originally shared with the Darwin ABI ...
This patch simply removes the unnecessary load.
llvm-svn: 211203
During an indirect function call sequence on the 64-bit SVR4 ABI,
generate code must load and then restore the TOC register.
This does not use a regular LOAD instruction since the TOC
register r2 is marked as reserved. Instead, the are two
special instruction patterns:
let RST = 2, DS = 2 in
def LDinto_toc: DSForm_1a<58, 0, (outs), (ins g8rc:$reg),
"ld 2, 8($reg)", IIC_LdStLD,
[(PPCload_toc i64:$reg)]>, isPPC64;
let RST = 2, DS = 10, RA = 1 in
def LDtoc_restore : DSForm_1a<58, 0, (outs), (ins),
"ld 2, 40(1)", IIC_LdStLD,
[(PPCtoc_restore)]>, isPPC64;
Note that these not only restrict the destination of the
load to r2, but they also restrict the *source* of the
load to particular address combinations. The latter is
a problem when we want to support the ELFv2 ABI, since
there the TOC save slot is no longer at 40(1).
This patch replaces those two instructions with a single
instruction pattern that only hard-codes r2 as destination,
but supports generic addresses as source. This will allow
supporting the ELFv2 ABI, and also helps generate more
efficient code for calls to absolute addresses (allowing
simplification of the ppc64-calls.ll test case).

The PowerPC back-end uses BLA to implement calls to functions at
known-constant addresses, which is apparently used for certain
system routines on Darwin.
However, with the 64-bit SVR4 ABI, this is actually incorrect.
An immediate function pointer value on this platform is not
directly usable as a target address for BLA:
- in the ELFv1 ABI, the function pointer value refers to the
*function descriptor*, not the code address
- in the ELFv2 ABI, the function pointer value refers to the
global entry point, but BL(A) would only be correct when
calling the *local* entry point
This bug didn't show up since using immediate function pointer
values is not usually done in the 64-bit SVR4 ABI in the first
place. However, I ran into this issue with a certain use case
of LLVM as JIT, where immediate function pointer values were
uses to implement callbacks from JITted code to helpers in
statically compiled code.
Fixed by simply not using BLA with the 64-bit SVR4 ABI.
