This patch is a third attempt to properly handle the local-dynamic and
global-dynamic TLS models.
In my original implementation, calls to __tls_get_addr were hidden
from view until the asm-printer phase, at which point the underlying
branch-and-link instruction was created with proper relocations. This
mostly worked well, but I used some repellent techniques to ensure
that the TLS_GET_ADDR nodes at the SD and MI levels correctly received
input from GPR3 and produced output into GPR3. This proved to work
badly in the presence of multiple TLS variable accesses, with the
copies to and from GPR3 being scheduled incorrectly and generally
creating havoc.
In r221703, I addressed that problem by representing the calls to
__tls_get_addr as true calls during instruction lowering. This had
the advantage of removing all of the bad hacks and relying on the
existing call machinery to properly glue the copies in place. It
looked like this was going to be the right way to go.
However, as a side effect of the recent discovery of problems with
linker optimizations for TLS, we discovered cases of suboptimal code
generation with this strategy. The problem comes when tls_get_addr is
called for the same address, and there is a resulting CSE
opportunity. It turns out that in such cases MachineCSE will common
the addis/addi instructions that set up the input value to
tls_get_addr, but will not common the calls themselves. MachineCSE
does not have any machinery to common idempotent calls. This is
perfectly sensible, since presumably this would be done at the IR
level, and introducing calls in the back end isn't commonplace. In
any case, we end up with two calls to __tls_get_addr when one would
suffice, and that isn't good.
I presumed that the original design would have allowed commoning of
the machine-specific nodes that hid the __tls_get_addr calls, so as
suggested by Ulrich Weigand, I went back to that design and cleaned it
up so that the copies were properly held together by glue
nodes. However, it turned out that this didn't work either...the
presence of copies to physical registers kept the machine-specific
nodes from being commoned also.
All of which leads to the design presented here. This is a return to
the original design, except that no attempt is made to introduce
copies to and from GPR3 during instruction lowering. Virtual registers
are used until prior to register allocation. At that point, a special
pass is run that identifies the machine-specific nodes that hide the
tls_get_addr calls and introduces the copies to and from GPR3 around
them. The register allocator then coalesces these copies away. With
this design, MachineCSE succeeds in commoning tls_get_addr calls where
possible, and we get nice optimal code generation (better than GCC at
the moment, which does not common these calls).
One additional problem must be dealt with: After introducing the
mentions of the physical register GPR3, the aggressive anti-dependence
breaker sees opportunities to improve scheduling by selecting a
different register instead. Flags must be used on the instruction
descriptions to tell the anti-dependence breaker to keep its hands in
its pockets.
One thing missing from the original design was recording a definition
of the link register on the GET_TLS_ADDR nodes. Doing this was found
to be insufficient to force a stack frame to be created, which led to
looping behavior because two different LR values were stored at the
same address. This appears to have been an oversight in
PPCFrameLowering::determineFrameLayout(), which is repaired here.
Because MustSaveLR() returns true for calls to builtin_return_address,
this changed the expected behavior of
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/retaddr2.ll, which now stacks a frame but
formerly did not. I've fixed the test case to reflect this.
There are existing TLS tests to catch regressions; the checks in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/tls-store2.ll proved to be too restrictive in the
face of instruction scheduling with these changes, so I fixed that
up.
I've added a new test case based on the PrettyStackTrace module that
demonstrated the original problem. This checks that we get correct
code generation and that CSE of the calls to __get_tls_addr has taken
place.

Summary:
Hi Eric,
this patch cleans up the layering violation that you're fixing across backends.
Anything else I need to fix on bpf backend side?
Thanks

This is true for SI only. CI+ supports unaligned memory accesses,
but this requires driver support, so for now we disallow unaligned
accesses for all GCN targets.

PPCInstrInfo.cpp has ended up containing several small MI-level passes, and
this is making the file harder to read than necessary. Split out
PPCEarlyReturn into its own source file. NFC.
Now that PPCInstrInfo.cpp does not also contain pass implementations, I hope
that it will be slightly less unwieldy.

This MI-level pass was necessary when VSX support was first being developed,
specifically, before the ABI code had been updated to use VSX registers for
arguments (the register assignments did not change, in a physical sense, but
the VSX super-registers are now used). Unfortunately, I never went back and
removed this pass after that was done. I believe this code is now effectively
dead.

When PPCEarlyReturn, it should really copy implicit ops from the old return
instruction to the new one. This currently does not matter much, because we run
PPCEarlyReturn very late in the pipeline (there is nothing to do DCE on
definitions of those registers). However, for completeness, we should do it
anyway.
Noticed by inspection (and there should be no functional change); thus, no
test case.

The VSX store instructions were also picking up an implicit "may read" from the
default pattern, which was an intrinsic (and we don't currently have a way of
specifying write-only intrinsics).
This was causing MI verification to fail for VSX spill restores.

isel is actually a cracked instruction on the P7/P8, and must start a dispatch
group. The scheduling model should reflect this so that we don't bunch too many
of them together when possible.

This moves the transformation introduced in r223757 into a separate MI pass.
This allows it to cover many more cases (not only cases where there must be a
reserved call frame), and perform rudimentary call folding. It still doesn't
have a heuristic, so it is enabled only for optsize/minsize, with stack
alignment <= 8, where it ought to be a fairly clear win.
