Fixes#175.
The Intel division instructions have fixed input operands that are
clobbered by fixed output operands, so the value passed as an input will
be clobbered just like a tied operand.
The FixedTied operand constraint is used to indicate a fixed input
operand that has a corresponding output operand with the same fixed
register.
Teach the spiller to teach a FixedTied operand the same as a Tied
operand constraint and make sure that the input value is killed by the
instruction.
Add EBB parameter and EBB argument to the langref glossary to clarify
the distinction between formal EBB parameter values and arguments passed
to branches.
- Replace "ebb_arg" with "ebb_param" in function names that deal with
EBB parameters.
- Rename the ValueDef variants to Result and Param.
- A bunch of other small langref fixes.
No functional changes intended.
This allows GVN to avoid hoisting them. These will be to coarse for
things that want more precise dependence information, however we can
work that out when we build such things.
Add integer and floating comparison instructions that return CPU flags:
ifcmp, ifcmp_imm, and ffcmp.
Add conditional branch instructions that check CPU flags: brif, brff
Add instructions that check a condition in the CPU flags and return a
b1: trueif, trueff.
Track allocatable registers both locally and globally: Add a second
AllocatableSet which tracks registers allocated to global values without
accounting for register diversions. Since diversions are only local to
an EBB, global values must be assigned un-diverted locations that don't
interfere.
Handle the third "global" interference domain in the constraint solver in
addition to the existing "input" and "output" domains.
Extend the solver error code to indicate when a global define just can't
be allocated because there are not enough available global registers.
Resolve this problem by replacing the instruction's global defines with
local defines that are copied into their global destinations
afterwards.
The register allocator can't handle branches with constrained register
operands, and the brz.b1/brnz.b1 instructions only have the t8jccd_abcd
in 32-bit mode where no REX prefixes are possible.
This adds a worst case encoding for those cases where a b1 value lives
in a non-ABCD register.
The register allocator doesn't even try to compile unreachable EBBs, so
any values defined in such blocks won't be assigned registers.
Since the dominator tree already has determined which EBBs are
reachable, we should just eliminate any unreachable blocks instead o
trying to do something with the dead code.
Not that this is not a "dead code elimination" pass which would also
remove individual instructions whose results are not used.
- Create a new kind of stack slot: emergency_slot.
- Add a get_emergency_slot() method which finds a suitable emergency
slot given a list of slots already in use.
- Use emergency spill slots when schedule_moves needs them.
These are parallels to the existing regmove instruction, but the divert
the value to and from a stack slot.
Like regmove diversions, this is a temporary diversion that must be
local to the EBB.
Fixes#165.
The constraint solver's schedule_move() function sometimes need to use
an extra available register when the moves to be scheduled contains
cycles.
The pending moves have associated register classes that come from the
constraint programming. Since the moves have hard-coded to and from
registers, these register classes are only meant to indicate the
register sizes. In particular, we can use the whole top-level register
class when scavenging for a spare register to break a cycle.
When we detect interference between the values that have already been
merged into the candidate virtual register and an EBB argument, we first
try to resolve the conflict by splitting. We also check if the existing
interfering value is fundamentally incompatible with the branch
instruction so it needs to be removed from the virtual register,
restarting the merge operation.
However, this existing interfering value is not necessarily the only
interference, so the split is not guaranteed to resolve the conflict. If
it turns out that splitting didn't resolve the conflict, restart the
merge after removing this second conflicting value.
A value passed as an argument to a function call may live in an incoming
stack slot initially. Fix the call legalizer so it copies such an
argument into the expected outgoing stack slot for the call.
Some REX-less encodings require an ABCD input because they are looking
at 8-bit registers. This constraint doesn't apply with a REX prefix
where the low 8 bits of all registers are addressable.
It can happen that the currently live registers are blocking a smaller
register class completely, so the only way of solving the allocation
problem is to turn some of the live-through registers into solver
variables.
When the quick_solve attempt fails, try to free up registers in the
critical register class by turning live-through values into solver
variables.
When the return value from a call has been spilled, the reload pass
needs to insert a spill instruction right after the call instruction
which returns its results in registers.
The extend and reduce instructions have additional type constraints.
Stop inserting sextend instructions after ctz, clz, and popcnt when
translating from WebAssembly. The Cretonne instructions have the same
signature as the WebAssembly equivalents.
Also make sure we generate type checks for the controlling type variable
in legalization patterns. This is not needed for encodings since the
encoding tables are already keyed on the controlling type variable.
In 32-bit mode, all function arguments are passed on the stack, not in
registers.
This ABI support is not complete or properly tested, but at least it
doesn't try to pass arguments in r8.
The native x86_fmin and x86_fmax instructions don't behave correctly for
NaN inputs and when comparing +0.0 to -0.0, so we need separate branches
for those cases.
These Intel-specific instructions represent the semantics of the minss /
maxss Intel instructions which behave more like a C ternary operator
than the WebAssembly fmin and fmax instructions.
They will be used as building blocks for implementing the WebAssembly
semantics.
This is used to represent the non-trapping semantics of the cvttss2si and
cvttsd2si instructions (and their vectorized counterparts).
The overflow behavior of this instruction is specific to the Intel ISAs.
There is no float-to-i64 instruction on the 32-bit Intel ISA.
Not all floating point condition codes are directly supported by the
ucimiss/ucomisd instructions. Some inequalities need to be reversed and
eq+ne require two separate tests.
These sign bit manipulations need to use a -0.0 floating point constant
which we didn't have a way of materializing previously.
Add a ieee32.bits(0x...) syntax to the Python AST nodes that creates am
f32 immediate value with the exact requested bitwise representation.
To begin with, these are catch-all encodings with a SIB byte and a
32-bit displacement, so they can access any stack slot via both the
stack pointer and the frame pointer.
In the future, we will add encodings for 8-bit displacements as well as
EBP-relative references without a SIB byte.
Use the simplest expansion which materializes the bits of the floating
point constant as an integer and then bit-casts to the floating point
type. In the future, we may want to use constant pools instead. Either
way, we need custom legalization.
Also add a legalize_monomorphic() function to the Python targetISA class
which permits the configuration of a default legalization action for
monomorphic instructions, just like legalize_type() does for polymorphic
instructions.
