This commit performs a small cleanup in the AArch64 backend - after
the MAdd and MSub variants have been extracted, the ALUOp enum is
used purely for binary integer operations.
Also, Inst::Mov has been renamed to Inst::Mov64 for consistency.

Baldrdash's API requires that there is at most one result in a register,
across all the possible register classes: in particular, it's not
possible to return an i64 value in a register while returning an v128
value in another register.
This patch adds a notion of "remaining register values", so this is
properly taking into account when choosing whether a return value may be
put into a register or not.
The logic for generation of shifts-by-immediate was not quite right. The result was that even
shifts by an amount known at compile time were being done by moving the shift immediate into %cl
and then doing a variable shift by %cl. The effect is worse than it sounds, because all of
those shift constants are small and often used in multiple places, so they were GVN'd up and
often ended up at the entry block of the function. Hence these were connected to the use points
by long live ranges which got spilled. So all in all, most of the win here comes from avoiding
spilling.
The problem was caused by this line, in the `Opcode::Ishl | Opcode::Ushr ..` case:
```
let (count, rhs) = if let Some(cst) = ctx.get_constant(inputs[1].insn) {
```
`inputs[]` appears to refer to this CLIF instruction's inputs, and bizarrely `inputs[].insn` all
refer to the instruction (the shift) itself. Hence `ctx.get_constant(inputs[1].insn)` asks
"does this shift instruction produce a constant" to which the answer is always "no", so the
shift-by-unknown amount code is always generated. The fix here is to change that expression to
```
let (count, rhs) = if let Some(cst) = ctx.get_input(insn, 1).constant {
```
`get_input`'s result conveniently includes a `constant` field of type `Option<u64>`, so we just
use that instead.
The pinned register hack didn't work because the GetPinnedReg is marked
as having side-effects, so that GVN wouldn't try to common it out.
This commit tweaks the function used during lowering to vcode, so that
the GetPinnedReg opcode is specially handled. It's a bit lame, but it
makes the hack work again.
Also, use_input needs to be a no-op for real registers.
It does this by providing an implementation of the CLIF instructions `AtomicRmw`, `AtomicCas`,
`AtomicLoad`, `AtomicStore` and `Fence`.
The translation is straightforward. `AtomicCas` is translated into x64 `cmpxchg`, `AtomicLoad`
becomes a normal load because x64-TSO provides adequate sequencing, `AtomicStore` becomes a
normal store followed by `mfence`, and `Fence` becomes `mfence`. `AtomicRmw` is the only
complex case: it becomes a normal load, followed by a loop which computes an updated value,
tries to `cmpxchg` it back to memory, and repeats if necessary.
This is a minimum-effort initial implementation. `AtomicRmw` could be implemented more
efficiently using LOCK-prefixed integer read-modify-write instructions in the case where the old
value in memory is not required. Subsequent work could add that, if required.
The x64 emitter has been updated to emit the new instructions, obviously. The `LegacyPrefix`
mechanism has been revised to handle multiple prefix bytes, not just one, since it is now
sometimes necessary to emit both 0x66 (Operand Size Override) and F0 (Lock).
In the aarch64 implementation of atomics, there has been some minor renaming for the sake of
clarity, and for consistency with this x64 implementation.
This change primarily adds the ability to lower packed `[move|load|store]` instructions (the vector types were previously unimplemented), but with the addition of the utility `Inst::[move|load|store]` functions it became possible to remove duplicated code (e.g. `stack_load` and `stack_store`) and use these utility functions elsewhere (though not exhaustively).
This upgrade pulls in one memory-allocation reduction improvement
(bytecodealliance/regalloc.rs#95). There should be no change in behavior
as a result of this.
When storing an argument to a stack location for consumption by a
callee, or storing a return value to an on-stack return slot for
consumption by the caller, the ABI implementation was properly extending
the value but was then performing a store with only the original width.
This fixes the issue by always performing a 64-bit store of the extended
value.
Issue reported by @uweigand (thanks!).
We have observed that the ABI implementations for AArch64 and x64 are
very similar; in fact, x64's implementation started as a modified copy
of AArch64's implementation. This is an artifact of both a similar ABI
(both machines pass args and return values in registers first, then the
stack, and both machines give considerable freedom with stack-frame
layout) and a too-low-level ABI abstraction in the existing design. For
machines that fit the mainstream or most common ABI-design idioms, we
should be able to do much better.
This commit factors AArch64 into machine-specific and
machine-independent parts, but does not yet modify x64; that will come
next.
This should be completely neutral with respect to compile time and
generated code performance.
This change is a pure refactoring--no change to functionality. It removes `use crate::ir::types::*` imports and uses instead `types::I32`, e.g., throughout the x64 code. Though it increases code verbosity, this change makes it more clear where the type identifiers come from (they are generated by `cranelif-codegen-meta` so without a prefix it is difficult to find their origin), avoids IDE confusion (e.g. CLion flags the un-prefixed identifiers as errors), and avoids importing unwanted identifiers into the namespace.
This change is a pure refactoring--no change to functionality. It removes newlines between the `use ...` statements in the x64 backend so that rustfmt can format them according to its convention. I noticed some files had followed a manual convention but subsequent additions did not seem to fit; this change fixes that and lightly coalesces some of the occurrences of `use a::b; use a::c;` into `use::{b, c}`.
