When an instruction doesn't have a valid encoding for the target ISA, it
needs to be legalized. Different legalization strategies can be
expressed as separate XFormGroup objects.
Make the choice of XFormGroup configurable per CPU mode, rather than
depending on a hard-coded default.
Add a CPUMode.legalize_type() method which assigns an XFormGroup to
controlling type variables and lets you set a default.
Add a `legalize` field to Level1Entry so the first-level hash table
lookup gives us the configured default legalization action for the
instruction's controlling type variable.
These map to single Intel instructions.
The i64 to float conversions are not tested yet. The encoding tables
can't yet differentiate instructions on a secondary type variable alone.
This instruction returns a `b1` value which is represented as the output
of a setCC instruction which is the low 8 bits of a GPR register. Use a
cmp+setCC macro recipe to encode this. That is not ideal, but we can't
represent CPU flags yet.
Add instructions representing Intel's division instructions which use a
numerator that is twice as wide as the denominator and produce both the
quotient and remainder.
Add encodings for the x86_[su]divmodx instructions.
Fixes#11.
Presets are groups of settings and values applied at once. This is used
as a shorthand in test files, so for example "isa intel nehalem" enables
all of the CPUID bits that the Nehalem micro-architecture provides.
Change the result type for the bit-counting instructions from a fixed i8
to the iB type variable which is the type of the input. This matches the
convention in WebAssembly, and at least Intel's instructions will set a
full register's worth of count result, even if it is always < 64.
Duplicate the Intel 'ur' encoding recipe into 'umr' and 'urm' variants
corresponding to the RM and MR encoding variants. The difference is
which register is encoded as 'reg' and which is 'r/m' in the ModR/M
byte. A 'mov' register copy uses the MR variant, a unary popcnt uses the
RM variant.
Add a TailRecipe.rex() method which creates an encoding recipe with a
REX prefix.
Define I64 encodings with REX.W for i64 operations and with/without REX
for i32 ops. Only test the with-REX encodings for now. We don't yet have
an instruction shrinking pass that can select the non-REX encodings.
Use a PUT_OP macro in the TailRecipe Python class to replace the code
snippet that emits the prefixes + opcode part of the instruction encoding.
Prepare for the addition of REX prefixes by giving the PUT_OP functions
a third argument representing the REX prefix. For the non-REX encodings,
verify that no REX bits wold be needed.
Generate code to:
- Unwrap the instruction and generate an error if the instruction format
doesn't match the recipe.
- Look up the value locations of register and stack arguments.
The recipe_* functions in the ISA binemit modules now take these
unwrapped items as arguments.
Also add an optional `emit` argument to the EncRecipe constructor which
makes it possible to provide inline Rust code snippets for code
emission. This requires a lot less boilerplate than recipe_* functions.
Add a Stack() class for specifying operand constraints for values on the
stack.
Add encoding recipes for RISC-V spill and fill instructions. Don't
implement the encoding recipe functions yet since we don't have the
stack slot layout yet.
Cretonne's encoding recipes need to have a fixed size so we can compute
accurate branch destination addresses. Intel's instruction encoding has
a lot of variance in the number of bytes needed to encode the opcode
which leads to a number of duplicated encoding recipes that only differ
in the opcode size.
Add an Intel-specific TailEnc Python class which represents an
abstraction over a set of recipes that are identical except for the
opcode encoding. The TailEnc can then generate specific encoding recipes
for each opcode format.
The opcode format is a prefix of the recipe name, so for example, the
'rr' TailEnc will generate the 'Op1rr', 'Op2rr', 'Mp2rr' etc recipes.
The TailEnc class provides a __call__ implementation that simply takes
the sequence of opcode bytes as arguments. It then looks up the right
prefix for the opcode bytes.
We don't support the full set of Intel addressing modes yet. So far we
have:
- Register indirect, no displacement.
- Register indirect, 8-bit signed displacement.
- Register indirect, 32-bit signed displacement.
The SIB addressing modes will need new Cretonne instruction formats to
represent.
These instructions have a fixed register constraint; the shift amount is
passed in CL.
Add meta language syntax so a fixed register can be specified as
"GPR.rcx".
Tabulate the Intel opcode representations and implement an OP() function
which computes the encoding bits.
Implement the single-byte opcode with a reg-reg ModR/M byte.
Two new pieces of information are available for all encoding recipes:
- The size in bytes of an encoded instruction, and
- The range of a branch encoded with the recipe, if any.
In the meta language, EncRecipe takes two new constructor arguments. The
size is required for all encodings and branch_range is required for all
recipes used to encode branches.
Not all br_icmp opcodes are present in the ISA. The missing ones can be
reached by commuting operands.
Don't attempt to encode EBB offsets yet. For now just emit an EBB
relocation for the branch instruction.
Allow some flexibility in the signature matching for instruction
formats. In particular, look for a value list format as a second chance
option.
The Return, ReturnReg, and TernaryOverflow formats all fit the single
MultiAry catch-all format for instructions without immediate operands.
The List and Dict types are no longer implicitly available. They must be
imported from typing.
Type annotations must appear before the doc comment in a function. Also
fix type errors in these functions that weren't detected before.
Every encoding recipe must specify register constraints on input and
output values.
Generate recipe constraint tables along with the other encoding tables.
