Rather than using paths from the root instruction to the instruction we are
matching against or checking if it is constant or whatever, use temporary
variables. When we successfully match an instruction's opcode, we simultaneously
define these temporaries for the instruction's operands. This is similar to how
open-coding these matches in Rust would use `match` expressions with pattern
matching to bind the operands to variables at the same time.
This saves about 1.8% of instructions retired when Peepmatic is enabled.
This commit adds arm32 code generation for some IR insts.
Floating-point instructions are not supported, because regalloc
does not allow to represent overlapping register classes,
which are needed by VFP/Neon.
There is also no support for big-endianness, I64 and I128 types.
This allows for more flexibility of when/where to harvest LHS candidates. For
example, we could choose to harvest candidates that overlap with and supercede
our current preopt peepholes.
This commit also makes sure that we compute the CFG before running preopt, when
harvesting LHS candidates via `clif-util souper-harvest`.
Given a clif function, harvest all its integer subexpressions, so that they can
be fed into [Souper](https://github.com/google/souper) as candidates for
superoptimization. For some of these candidates, Souper will successfully
synthesize a right-hand side that is equivalent but has lower cost than the
left-hand side. Then, we can combine these left- and right-hand sides into a
complete optimization, and add it to our peephole passes.
To harvest the expression that produced a given value `x`, we do a post-order
traversal of the dataflow graph starting from `x`. As we do this traversal, we
maintain a map from clif values to their translated Souper values. We stop
traversing when we reach anything that can't be translated into Souper IR: a
memory load, a float-to-int conversion, a block parameter, etc. For values
produced by these instructions, we create a Souper `var`, which is an input
variable to the optimization. For instructions that have a direct mapping into
Souper IR, we get the Souper version of each of its operands and then create the
Souper version of the instruction itself. It should now be clear why we do a
post-order traversal: we need an instruction's translated operands in order to
translate the instruction itself. Once this instruction is translated, we update
the clif-to-souper map with this new translation so that any other instruction
that uses this result as an operand has access to the translated value. When the
traversal is complete we return the translation of `x` as the root of left-hand
side candidate.
In particular:
- try to optimize the integer emission into a 32-bit emission, when the
high bits are all zero, and stop relying on the caller of `imm_r` to
ensure this.
- rename `Inst::imm_r`/`Inst::Imm_R` to `Inst::imm`/`Inst::Imm`.
- generate a sign-extending mov 32-bit immediate to 64-bits, whenever
possible.
- fix a few places where the previous commit did introduce the
generation of zero-constants with xor, when calling `put_input_to_reg`,
thus clobbering the flags before they were read.
Eventually, we should be able to unify this function's implementation
with the aarch64 one; but the latter does much more, and this would
require abstractions brought up in another pending PR#2142.
Previously, in #2128, we factored out a common "vanilla 64-bit ABI"
implementation from the AArch64 ABI code, with the idea that this should
be largely compatible with x64. This PR alters the new x64 backend to
make use of the shared infrastructure, removing the duplication that
existed previously. The generated code is nearly (not exactly) the same;
the only difference relates to how the clobber-save region is padded in
the prologue.
This also changes some register allocations in the aarch64 code because
call support in the shared ABI infra now passes a temp vreg in, rather
than requiring use of a fixed, non-allocable temp; tests have been
updated, and the runtime behavior is unchanged.
