This lets us avoid the cost of `cranelift_codegen::ir::Opcode` to
`peepmatic_runtime::Operator` conversion overhead, and paves the way for
allowing Peepmatic to support non-clif optimizations (e.g. vcode optimizations).
Rather than defining our own `peepmatic::Operator` type like we used to, now the
whole `peepmatic` crate is effectively generic over a `TOperator` type
parameter. For the Cranelift integration, we use `cranelift_codegen::ir::Opcode`
as the concrete type for our `TOperator` type parameter. For testing, we also
define a `TestOperator` type, so that we can test Peepmatic code without
building all of Cranelift, and we can keep them somewhat isolated from each
other.
The methods that `peepmatic::Operator` had are now translated into trait bounds
on the `TOperator` type. These traits need to be shared between all of
`peepmatic`, `peepmatic-runtime`, and `cranelift-codegen`'s Peepmatic
integration. Therefore, these new traits live in a new crate:
`peepmatic-traits`. This crate acts as a header file of sorts for shared
trait/type/macro definitions.
Additionally, the `peepmatic-runtime` crate no longer depends on the
`peepmatic-macro` procedural macro crate, which should lead to faster build
times for Cranelift when it is using pre-built peephole optimizers.
We had previously fixed a bug in which constant shift amounts should be
masked to modulo the number of bits in the operand; however, we did not
fix the analogous case for shifts incorporated into the second register
argument of ALU instructions that support integrated shifts. This
failure to mask resulted in illegal instructions being generated, e.g.
in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1653502. This PR fixes
the issue by masking the amount, as the shift semantics require.
Instead, when the `rebuild-peephole-optimizers` feature is enabled, rebuild them
the first time they are used. This allows peepmatic to run when Cranelift's
`Opcode` is defined and available, which paves the way forward for:
* merging `peepmatic_runtime::operator::Operator` and Cranelift's `Opcode` (we
are wasting a bunch of cycles converting between the two of them), and
* supporting vcode optimizations in `peepmatic`.
This is tricky: the control flow implicitly implied by the operand makes
it so that the output register may be undefined, if we mark it only as a
"def". Make it a "mod" instead, which matches our usage in the codebase,
and will make it crash if the output operand isn't unconditionally
defined before the instruction.
Certain operations (e.g. widening) will have operands with types like `NxM` but will return results with types like `(N*2)x(M/2)` (double the lane width, halve the number of lanes; maintain the same number of vector bits). This is equivalent to applying two `DerivedFunction`s to the type: `DerivedFunction::DoubleWidth` then `DerivedFunction::HalfVector`. Since there is no easy way to apply multiple `DerivedFunction`s (e.g. most of the logic is one-level deep, 1d5a678124/cranelift/codegen/meta/src/gen_inst.rs (L618-L621)), I added `DerivedFunction::MergeLanes` to do the necessary type conversion.
Before this patch, running the x64 new backend would require both
compiling with --features experimental_x64 and running with
`use_new_backend`.
This patches changes this behavior so that the runtime flag is not
needed anymore: using the feature flag will enforce usage of the new
backend everywhere, making using and testing it much simpler:
cargo run --features experimental_x64 ;; other CLI options/flags
This also gives a hint at what the meta language generation would look
like after switching to the new backend.
Compiling only with the x64 codegen flag gives a nice compile time speedup.
This commit adds support for generating stackmaps at safepoints to the
new backend framework and to the AArch64 backend in particular. It has
been tested to work with SpiderMonkey.
This commit adds the inital support to allow reftypes to flow through
the program when targetting aarch64. It also adds a fix to the
`ModuleTranslationState` needed to send R32/R64 types over from the
SpiderMonkey embedding.
This commit does not include any support for safepoints in aarch64
or the `MachInst` infrastructure; that is in the next commit.
This commit also makes a drive-by improvement to `Bint`, avoiding an
unneeded zero-extension op when the extended value comes directly from a
conditional-set (which produces a full-width 0 or 1).
The main issue with the InstSize enum was that it was used both for
GPR and SIMD & FP operands, even though machine instructions do not
mix them in general (as in a destination register is either a GPR
or not). As a result it had methods such as sf_bit() that made
sense only for one type of operand.
Another issue was that the enum name was not reflecting its purpose
accurately - it was meant to represent an instruction operand size,
not an instruction size, which is fixed in A64 (always 4 bytes).
Now the enum is split into one for GPR operands and another for
scalar SIMD & FP operands.
