The live value tracker expects them to be there.
We may eventually delete dead arguments from internal EBBs, but at least
the entry block needs to be able to handle dead function arguments.
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.
The arguments to the entry block arrive in registers determined by the
ABI. This information is stored in the signature.
Use a separate function for coloring entry block arguments using the
signature information. We can't handle stack arguments yet.
These special-purpose arguments and return values are only relevant for
the function being compiled, so add a `current` flag to
legalize_signature().
- Add the necessary argument values to the entry block to represent
the special-purpose arguments.
- Propagate the link and sret arguments to return instructions if the
legalized signature asks for it.
Enumerate a set of special purposes for function arguments that general
purpose code needs to know about. Some of these argument purposes will
only appear in the signature of the current function, representing
things the prologue and epilogues need to know about like the link
register and callee-saved registers.
Get rid of the 'inreg' argument flag. Arguments can be pre-assigned to a
specific register instead.
When converting from ABI types to original program types, the final
conversion instruction can place its result into the original value, so
it doesn't need to be changed to an alias.
Now that we can detach and reuse all values, there is no longer a need
to create a lot of alias values during pattern expansion. Instead, reuse
the values from the source pattern when emitting instructions in the
destination pattern.
If a destination instruction produces the exact same values as a source
instruction, simply leave the values attached and replace the
instruction it. Otherwise, detach the source values, reuse them in the
expansion, and remove the source instruction afterwards.
All values are now references into the value table, so drop the
distinction between direct and table values. Direct values don't exist
any more.
Also remove the parser support for the 'vxNN' syntax. Only 'vNN' values
can be parsed now.
We only ever create table values now.
Simplify legalizer::legalize_inst_results. Instead of calling
detach_secondary_results, just detach all the results and don't treat
the first result specially.
This affects the comparison instructions which now read "icmp ult a, b".
This mimics LLVM's style and makes it simpler to add instruction flags
in the future, such as "load v1" -> "load aligned v1".
These enumerated operands and flags feel like opcode modifiers rather
than value operands, so displaying them differently makes sense.
Value and numeric operands are still comma separated.
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.
This instruction behaves like icmp fused with brnz, and it can be used
to represent fused compare+branch instruction on Intel when optimizing
for macro-op fusion.
RISC-V provides compare-and-branch instructions directly, and it is
needed there too.
Compare a scalar integer to an immediate constant. Both Intel and RISC-V
ISAs have this operation.
This requires the addition of a new IntCompareImm instruction format.
The carry and borrow values are boolean, so we have to convert them to
an integer type with bint(c) before we can add them to the result.
Also tweak the default legalizer action for unsupported types: Only
attempt a narrowing pattern for lane types > 32 bits.
This was found by @angusholder's new type checks in the verifier.
If an instruction doesn't have an associated encoding, use the standard
TargetIsa hook to encode it.
The test still fails if an instruction can't be encoded. There is no
legalization step.
The EBB argument splitting may generate concat-split dependencies when
it repairs branch arguments in EBBs that have not yet been fully
legalized. Add a branch argument simplification step that can resolve
these dependency chains.
This means that all split and concatenation instructions will be dead
after legalization for types that have no legal instructions using them.
When the legalizer splits a value into halves, it would previously stop
if the value was an EBB argument. With this change, we also split EBB
arguments and iteratively split arguments on branches to the EBB.
The iterative splitting stops when we hit the entry block arguments or
an instruction that isn't one of the concatenation instructions.
The legalizer often splits values into parts with the vsplit and
isplit_lohi instructions. Avoid doing that for values that are already
defined by the corresponding concatenation instructions.
This reduces the number of instructions created during legalization, and
it simplifies later optimizations. A number of dead concatenation
instructions are left behind. They can be trivially cleaned up by a dead
code elimination pass.
The call arguments on call_indirect should not include the fixed callee
argument.
Add legalizer assertions to verify that signatures are actually valid
after legalization. If not, we would get infinite legalizer loops.
Like the entry block arguments, the return values from a call
instruction need to be converted back from their ABI representation.
Add tests of call instruction legalization.
- abi.cton is for testing the actual RISC-V ABI.
- legalize-abi.cton is for testing the legalizer around ABI boundaries.
- parse-encoding.cton is for testing the parser's handling of RISC-V
encoding and register annotations.
