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.

* Manually rename BasicBlock to BlockPredecessor
BasicBlock is a pair of (Ebb, Inst) that is used to represent the
basic block subcomponent of an Ebb that is a predecessor to an Ebb.
Eventually we will be able to remove this struct, but for now it
makes sense to give it a non-conflicting name so that we can start
to transition Ebb to represent a basic block.
I have not updated any comments that refer to BasicBlock, as
eventually we will remove BlockPredecessor and replace with Block,
which is a basic block, so the comments will become correct.
* Manually rename SSABuilder block types to avoid conflict
SSABuilder has its own Block and BlockData types. These along with
associated identifier will cause conflicts in a later commit, so
they are renamed to be more verbose here.
* Automatically rename 'Ebb' to 'Block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'EBB' to 'block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'ebb' to 'block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'extended basic block' to 'basic block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'an basic block' to 'a basic block' in *.rs
* Manually update comment for `Block`
`Block`'s wikipedia article required an update.
* Automatically rename 'an `Block`' to 'a `Block`' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'extended_basic_block' to 'basic_block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'ebb' to 'block' in *.clif
* Manually rename clif constant that contains 'ebb' as substring to avoid conflict
* Automatically rename filecheck uses of 'EBB' to 'BB'
'regex: EBB' -> 'regex: BB'
'$EBB' -> '$BB'
* Automatically rename 'EBB' 'Ebb' to 'block' in *.clif
* Automatically rename 'an block' to 'a block' in *.clif
* Fix broken testcase when function name length increases
Test function names are limited to 16 characters. This causes
the new longer name to be truncated and fail a filecheck test. An
outdated comment was also fixed.
Accessing Wasm reference globals that are reference types will
want to use the plain load/store instructions. This commit adds
encodings for these instructions to match loading a i32/i64.
Producers of IR are required to insert the appropriate barriers
around the loads/stores.
This patch adds a third mode for templates: REX inference is requestable
at template instantiation time. This reduces the number of recipes
by removing rex()/nonrex() redundancy for many instructions.
And replace it by constructors in OperandKind. There's a single optional
parameter function `set_doc` that remains, and didn't justify the whole
OperandKindBuilder concept to exist.
This applies both to the default_member value (which is now determined at
runtime, instead of pre-computed) and the rust_type value (which is
determined in the Operand's ctor, instead of the builder).
It can be resurrected if needed in the future. It was used only for the
semantics descriptions, which went away with the transition of the
meta-language to Rust.
This does a lot at once, since there was no clear way to split the three
commits:
- Instruction need to be passed an explicit InstructionFormat,
- InstructionFormat deduplication is checked once all entities have been
defined;
This avoids a lot of dereferences, and InstructionFormat are immutable
once they're created. It removes a lot of code that was keeping the
FormatRegistry around, just in case we needed the format. This is more
in line with the way we create Instructions, and make it easy to
reference InstructionFormats in general.
Previously, ConstantData was a type alias for `Vec<u8>` which prevented it from having an implementation; this meant that `V128Imm` and `&[u8; 16]` were used in places that otherwise could have accepted types of different byte lengths.
This avoids doing multiple unpacking of the InstructionData for a single
legalization, improving readability and reducing size of the generated
code. For instance, icmp had to unpack the format once per IntCC
condition code.
This adds a `DummyConstant` structure that is converted to something like `let const0 = pos.func.dfg.constants.insert(...)` in `gen_legalizer.rs`. This allows us to create constants during legalization with something like `let ones = constant(vec![0xff; 16])` and then use `ones` within a `def!` block, e.g.: `def!(a = vconst(ones))`. One unfortunate side-effect of this change is that, because the names of the constants in `ConstPool` are dynamic, the `VarPool` and `SymbolTable` structures that previously operated on `&'static str` types now must operate on `String` types; however, since this is a change to the meta code-generation, it should result in no runtime performance impact.
This change should make the code more clear (and less code) when adding encodings for instructions with specific immediates; e.g., a constant with a 0 immediate could be encoded as an XOR with something like `const.bind(...)` without explicitly creating the necessary predicates. It has several parts:
* Introduce Bindable trait to instructions
* Convert all instruction bindings to use Bindable::bind()
* Add ability to bind immediates to BoundInstruction
This is an attempt to reduce some of the issues in #955.
Instead of using MOVUPS to expensively load bits from memory, this change uses a predicate to optimize vconst without a memory access:
- when the 128-bit immediate is all zeroes in all bits, use PXOR to zero out an XMM register
- when the 128-bit immediate is all ones in all bits, use PCMPEQB to set an XMM register to all ones
This leaves the constant data in the constant pool, which may increase code size (TODO)
