The P7 benefits from not have really-small loops so that we either have
multiple dispatch groups in the loop and/or the ability to form more-full
dispatch groups during scheduling. Setting the partial unrolling threshold to
44 seems good, empirically, for the P7. Compared to using no late partial
unrolling, this yields the following test-suite speedups:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Adobe-C++/simple_types_constant_folding
-66.3253% +/- 24.1975%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc-C++/oopack_v1p8
-44.0169% +/- 29.4881%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/pi
-27.8351% +/- 12.2712%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Stanford/Bubblesort
-30.9898% +/- 22.4647%
I've speculatively added a similar setting for the P8. Also, I've noticed that
the unroller does not quite calculate the unrolling factor correctly for really
tiny loops because it neglects to account for the fact that not every loop body
replicant contains an ending branch and counter increment. I'll fix that later.

MachineLICM uses a callback named hasLowDefLatency to determine if an
instruction def operand has a 'low' latency. If all relevant operands have a
'low' latency, the instruction is considered too cheap to hoist out of loops
even in low-register-pressure situations. On PowerPC cores, both the embedded
cores and the others, there is no reason to believe that this is a good choice:
all instructions have a cost inside a loop, and hoisting them when not limited
by register pressure is a reasonable default.

type (in addition to the memory type).
The *LoadExt* legalization handling used to only have one type, the
memory type. This forced users to assume that as long as the extload
for the memory type was declared legal, and the result type was legal,
the whole extload was legal.
However, this isn't always the case. For instance, on X86, with AVX,
this is legal:
v4i32 load, zext from v4i8
but this isn't:
v4i64 load, zext from v4i8
Whereas v4i64 is (arguably) legal, even without AVX2.
Note that the same thing was done a while ago for truncstores (r46140),
but I assume no one needed it yet for extloads, so here we go.
Calls to getLoadExtAction were changed to add the value type, found
manually in the surrounding code.
Calls to setLoadExtAction were mechanically changed, by wrapping the
call in a loop, to match previous behavior. The loop iterates over
the MVT subrange corresponding to the memory type (FP vectors, etc...).
I also pulled neighboring setTruncStoreActions into some of the loops;
those shouldn't make a difference, as the additional types are illegal.
(e.g., i128->i1 truncstores on PPC.)
No functional change intended.

int->fp conversions on PPC must be done through memory loads and stores. On a
modern core, this process begins by storing the int value to memory, then
loading it using a (sometimes special) FP load instruction. Unfortunately, we
would do this even when the value to be converted was itself a load, and we can
just use that same memory location instead of copying it to another first.
There is a slight complication when handling int_to_fp(fp_to_int(x)) pairs,
because the fp_to_int operand has not been lowered when the int_to_fp is being
lowered. We handle this specially by invoking fp_to_int's lowering logic
(partially) and getting the necessary memory location (some trivial refactoring
was done to make this possible).
This is all somewhat ugly, and it would be nice if some later CodeGen stage
could just clean this stuff up, but because doing so would involve modifying
target-specific nodes (or instructions), it is not immediately clear how that
would work.
Also, remove a related entry from the README.txt for which we now generate
reasonable code.

int foo(int a, int b) { return (a < b) << 4; }
We now explicitly track CR bits by default, so the comment in the README.txt

cmpw 0, 3, 4
li 3, 0
li 12, 1
isel 3, 12, 3, 0
sldi 3, 3, 4

which generates the zext as a select between 0 and 1, and then shifts the
result by a constant amount. Here we preprocess the DAG in order to fold the
results of operations on an extension of an i1 value into the SELECT_I[48]
pseudo instruction when the resulting constant can be materialized using one
instruction (just like the 0 and 1). This was not implemented as a DAGCombine
because the resulting code would have been anti-canonical and depends on
replacing chained user nodes, which does not fit well into the lowering
paradigm. Now we generate:
cmpw 0, 3, 4
li 3, 0
li 12, 16
isel 3, 12, 3, 0
blr

r225135 added the ability to materialize i64 constants using rotations in order

Materializing full 64-bit constants on PPC64 can be expensive, requiring up to
5 instructions depending on the locations of the non-zero bits. Sometimes
materializing a rotated constant, and then applying the inverse rotation, requires
fewer instructions than the direct method. If so, do that instead.
In r225132, I added support for forming constants using bit inversion. In
effect, this reverts that commit and replaces it with rotation support. The bit
inversion is useful for turning constants that are mostly ones into ones that
are mostly zeros (thus enabling a more-efficient shift-based materialization),
but the same effect can be obtained by using negative constants and a rotate,
and that is at least as efficient, if not more.

The existing code provided for specifying a global loop alignment preference.
However, the preferred loop alignment might depend on the loop itself. For
recent POWER cores, loops between 5 and 8 instructions should have 32-byte
alignment (while the others are better with 16-byte alignment) so that the
entire loop will fit in one i-cache line.
To support this, getPrefLoopAlignment has been made virtual, and can be
provided with an optional MachineLoop* so the target can inspect the loop
before answering the query. The default behavior, as before, is to return the
value set with setPrefLoopAlignment. MachineBlockPlacement now queries the
target for each loop instead of only once per function. There should be no
functional change for other targets.

Most modern PowerPC cores prefer that functions and loops start on
16-byte-aligned boundaries (*), so instruct block placement, etc. to make this

nops that might now be inserted before loop headers.
(*) Some cores actually prefer other alignments for small loops, but that will
be addressed in a follow-up commit.

Newer POWER cores, and the A2, support the cmpb instruction. This instruction
compares its operands, treating each of the 8 bytes in the GPRs separately,
returning a 'mask' result of 0 (for false) or -1 (for true) in each byte.
Code generation support is added, in the form of a PPCISelDAGToDAG
DAG-preprocessing routine, that recognizes patterns close to what the
instruction computes (either exactly, or related by a constant masking
operation), and generates the cmpb instruction (along with any necessary
constant masking operation). This can be expanded if use cases arise.

This is the second installment of improvements to instruction selection for "bit
permutation" instruction sequences. r224318 added logic for instruction
selection for 32-bit bit permutation sequences, and this adds lowering for
64-bit sequences. The 64-bit sequences are more complicated than the 32-bit
ones because:
a) the 64-bit versions of the 32-bit rotate-and-mask instructions
work by replicating the lower 32-bits of the value-to-be-rotated into the
upper 32 bits -- and integrating this into the cost modeling for the various
bit group operations is non-trivial
b) unlike the 32-bit instructions in 32-bit mode, the rotate-and-mask instructions
cannot, in one instruction, specify the
mask starting index, the mask ending index, and the rotation factor. Also,
forming arbitrary 64-bit constants is more complicated than in 32-bit mode
because the number of instructions necessary is value dependent.
Plus, support for 'late masking' was added: it is sometimes more efficient to
treat the overall value as if it had no mandatory zero bits when planning the
bit-group insertions, and then mask them in at the very end. Unfortunately, as
the structure of the bit groups is different in the two cases, the more
feasible implementation technique was to generate both instruction sequences,
and then pick the shorter one.
And finally, we now generate reasonable code for i64 bswap:
rldicl 5, 3, 16, 0
rldicl 4, 3, 8, 0
rldicl 6, 3, 24, 0
rldimi 4, 5, 8, 48
rldicl 5, 3, 32, 0
rldimi 4, 6, 16, 40
rldicl 6, 3, 48, 0
rldimi 4, 5, 24, 32
rldicl 5, 3, 56, 0
rldimi 4, 6, 40, 16
rldimi 4, 5, 48, 8
rldimi 4, 3, 56, 0
vs. what we used to produce:
li 4, 255
rldicl 5, 3, 24, 40
rldicl 6, 3, 40, 24
rldicl 7, 3, 56, 8

sldi 10, 3, 24
sldi 12, 3, 40
rldicl 0, 3, 8, 56

andis. 7, 7, 65280

and 8, 8, 9
and 4, 12, 4
and 9, 10, 11
or 6, 7, 6

or 3, 3, 4
or 7, 9, 8

The issues was that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local

Original message:
Remove doesSectionRequireSymbols.
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

It is tempting to mark the fixed stack slot used to store the return address as
immutable when lowering @llvm.returnaddress(i32 0). Unfortunately, within the

are available for scheduling, and we're not free to interchange the order of a

The PowerPC backend, somewhat embarrassingly, did not generate an
optimal-length sequence of instructions for a 32-bit bswap. While adding a
pattern for the bswap intrinsic to fix this would not have been terribly
difficult, doing so would not have addressed the real problem: we had been
generating poor code for many bit-permuting operations (by which I mean things
like byte-swap that permute the bits of one or more inputs around in various
ways). Here are some initial steps toward solving this deficiency.
Bit-permuting operations are represented, at the SDAG level, using ISD::ROTL,
SHL, SRL, AND and OR (mostly with constant second operands). Looking back
through these operations, we can build up a description of the bits in the
resulting value in terms of bits of one or more input values (and constant
zeros). For each bit, we compute the rotation amount from the original value,
and then group consecutive (value, rotation factor) bits into groups. Groups
sharing these attributes are then collected and sorted, and we can then
instruction select the entire permutation using a combination of masked
rotations (rlwinm), imm ands (andi/andis), and masked rotation inserts
(rlwimi).
The result is that instead of lowering an i32 bswap as:
rlwinm 5, 3, 24, 16, 23
rlwinm 4, 3, 24, 0, 7
rlwimi 4, 3, 8, 8, 15
rlwimi 5, 3, 8, 24, 31
rlwimi 4, 5, 0, 16, 31
we now produce:
rlwinm 4, 3, 8, 0, 31
rlwimi 4, 3, 24, 16, 23
rlwimi 4, 3, 24, 0, 7
and for the 'test6' example in the PowerPC/README.txt file:
unsigned test6(unsigned x) {
return ((x & 0x00FF0000) >> 16) | ((x & 0x000000FF) << 16);
}
we used to produce:
lis 4, 255
rlwinm 3, 3, 16, 0, 31
ori 4, 4, 255
and 3, 3, 4
and now we produce:
rlwinm 4, 3, 16, 24, 31
rlwimi 4, 3, 16, 8, 15
and, as a nice bonus, this fixes the FIXME in
test/CodeGen/PowerPC/rlwimi-and.ll.
This commit does not include instruction-selection for i64 operations, those
will come later.

PPCTargetLowering::DAGCombineExtBoolTrunc contains logic to remove unwanted
truncations and extensions when dealing with nodes of the form:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
There was a FIXME in the implementation (now removed) regarding the fact that
the function would abort the transformations if any of the non-output operands
of a SELECT or SELECT_CC node would need to be promoted (because they were
also output operands, for example). As a result, we continued to generate
unnecessary zero-extends for code such as this:
unsigned foo(unsigned a, unsigned b) {
return (a <= b) ? a : b;
}
which would produce:
cmplw 0, 3, 4
isel 3, 4, 3, 1
rldicl 3, 3, 0, 32
blr
and now we produce:
cmplw 0, 3, 4
isel 3, 4, 3, 1
blr
which is better in the obvious way.

On PPC64, we end up with lots of i32 -> i64 zero extensions, not only from all
of the usual places, but also from the ABI, which specifies that values passed
are zero extended. Almost all 32-bit PPC instructions in PPC64 mode are defined
to do *something* to the higher-order bits, and for some instructions, that
action clears those bits (thus providing a zero-extended result). This is
especially common after rotate-and-mask instructions. Adding an additional
instruction to zero-extend the results of these instructions is unnecessary.
This PPCISelDAGToDAG peephole optimization examines these zero-extensions, and
looks back through their operands to see if all instructions will implicitly
zero extend their results. If so, we convert these instructions to their 64-bit
variants (which is an internal change only, the actual encoding of these
instructions is the same as the original 32-bit ones) and remove the
unnecessary zero-extension (changing where the INSERT_SUBREG instructions are
to make everything internally consistent).

If we have an add (or an or that is really an add), where one operand is a
FrameIndex and the other operand is a small constant, we can combine the
lowering of the FrameIndex (which is lowered as an add of the FI and a zero
offset) with the constant operand.
Amusingly, this is an old potential improvement entry from
lib/Target/PowerPC/README.txt which had never been resolved. In short, we used
to lower:
%X = alloca { i32, i32 }
%Y = getelementptr {i32,i32}* %X, i32 0, i32 1
ret i32* %Y
as:
addi 3, 1, -8
ori 3, 3, 4
blr
and now we produce:
addi 3, 1, -4
blr
which is much more sensible.
