Rename the ArgumentType type to AbiParam since it describes the ABI
characteristics of a parameter or return value, not just the value type.
In Signature, rename members argument_types and return_types to "params"
and "returns". Again, they are not just types.
Fix a couple lingering references to "EBB arguments".
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.
Also move the CursorPosition type into the cursor module.
Move layout::cursor into the tests module as LayoutCursor and remove its
ability to insert instructions via the dfg.ins() method. This cursor
type is only used in the layout unit tests now.
The FuncCursor and EncCursor types are the commonly used cursors now.
On some ISAs like Intel's, all arithmetic instructions set all or some
of the CPU flags, so flag values can't be live across these
instructions. On ISAs like ARM's Aarch32, flags are clobbered by compact
16-bit encodings but not necessarily by 32-bit encodings of the same
instruction.
The "clobbers_flags" bit on the encoding recipe is used to indicate if
CPU flag values can be live across an instruction, or conversely whether
the encoding can be used where flag values are live.
The arm32 ISA technically has separate floating point and integer flags,
but the only useful thing you can do with the floating point flags is to
copy them ti the integer flags, so there is not need to model them.
The arm64 ISA fixes this and the fcmp instruction writes the integer
nzcv flags directly.
RISC-V does not have CPU flags.
This makes it possible to define register banks that opt out of register
pressure tracking. This will be used to define banks for special-purpose
registers like the CPU flags.
The pressure tracker does not need to use resources for a top-level
register class in a non-tracked bank. The constant MAX_TOPRCS is renamed
to MAX_TRACKED_TOPRCS to indicate that there may be top-level register
classes with higher numbers, but they won't require pressure tracking.
We won't be tracking register pressure for CPU flags since only one
value is allowed to be live at a time.
This is needed to allow implementations to have 'data-lifetime
references if they choose to. The DummyEnvironment is an example of an
implementation that doesn't choose to.
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.
These two value types represent the state of CPU flags after an integer
comparison and a floating point comparison respectively.
Instructions using these types TBD.
The value types are now classified into three groups:
1. Lane types are scalar types that can also be used to form vectors.
2. Vector types 2-256 copies of a lane type.
3. Special types. This is where the CPU flag types will go.
The special types can't be used to form vectors.
Change the numbering scheme for value types to make room for the special
types and add `is_lane()` and `is_special()` classification methods.
The VOID type still has number 0, but it can no longer appear as a
vector lane. It classifies as special now.
The word "scalar" is a bit vague and tends to mean "non-vector". Since
we are about to add new CPU flag value types that can't appear as vector
lanes, make the distinction clear: LaneType represents value types that
can appear as a vector lane.
Also replace the Type::is_scalar() method with an is_vector() method.
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.
These spills and fills use 32-bit writes, knowing that the spill slot is
minimum 4 bytes which makes it safe.
Also simplify the definition of load/store encodings a bit by
introducing loops.
This is primarily for the benefit of 32-bit x86 code which can't spill
1-byte types from arbitrary registers. This makes it possible to use
32-bit writes to spill types like b1 and i8.
These small types are expected to be very rare since WebAssembly doesn't
have then, and we tend to push integer arithmetic to at least i32. The
effect of frame sizes should be minimal.
This renames WasmRuntime to ModuleEnvironment, and makes several changes
to allow for more flexible compilation.
ModuleEnvironment no longer derives from FuncEnvironment, and no longer
has the `begin_translation` and `next_translation` functions, so that
independent `FuncEnvironment` instances can operate within the same
module.
Also, this obviates the rest of TranslationResult, as it moves processing
of function bodies into the environment. The DummyEnvironment implementation
gives an example of decoding the function bodies as they are parsed, however
other implementation strategies are now possible.
Also, redo how functions are named in the DummyRuntime. Use the FunctionName
field to just encode the wasm function index rather than trying to shoehorn
a printable name into it. And to make up for that, teach the wasm printer
to print export names as comments next to the function definitions.
This also makes the fields of DummyRuntime public, in preparation for
the DummyRuntime to have a more general-purpose debugging role, as well
as possibly to allow it to serve as a base for other implementations.
This makes it more consistent with how all the rest of the content of
a wasm module is handled. And, now TranslationResult just has a Vec
of translated functions, which will make it easier to refactor further.
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.
