Patch by Kit Barton.
Add the vector population count instructions for byte, halfword, word,
and doubleword sizes. There are two major changes here:
PPCISelLowering.cpp: Make CTPOP legal for vector types.
PPCRegisterInfo.td: Added v2i64 to the VRRC register
definition. This is needed for the doubleword variations of the
integer ops that were added in P8.
Test Plan
Test the instruction vpcnt* encoding/decoding in ppc64-encoding-vmx.s
Test the generation of the vpopcnt instructions for various vector
data types. When adding the v2i64 type to the Vector Register set, I
also needed to add the appropriate bit conversion patterns between
v2i64 and the existing vector types. Testing for these conversions
were also added in the test case by passing a different vector type as
a parameter into the test functions. There is also a run step that
will ensure the vpopcnt instructions are generated when the vsx
feature is disabled.

Patch by Nemanja Ivanovic.
As was uncovered by the failing test case (when run on non-PPC
platforms), the feature set when compiling with -march=ppc64le was not
being picked up. This change ensures that if the -mcpu option is not
specified, the correct feature set is picked up regardless of whether
we are on PPC or not.

derived classes.
Since global data alignment, layout, and mangling is often based on the
DataLayout, move it to the TargetMachine. This ensures that global
data is going to be layed out and mangled consistently if the subtarget
changes on a per function basis. Prior to this all targets(*) have
had subtarget dependent code moved out and onto the TargetMachine.
*One target hasn't been migrated as part of this change: R600. The
R600 port has, as a subtarget feature, the size of pointers and
this affects global data layout. I've currently hacked in a FIXME
to enable progress, but the port needs to be updated to either pass
the 64-bitness to the TargetMachine, or fix the DataLayout to
avoid subtarget dependent features.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@227113 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Function pointers under PPC64 ELFv1 (which is used on PPC64/Linux on the
POWER7, A2 and earlier cores) are really pointers to a function descriptor, a
structure with three pointers: the actual pointer to the code to which to jump,
the pointer to the TOC needed by the callee, and an environment pointer. We
used to chain these loads, and make them opaque to the rest of the optimizer,
so that they'd always occur directly before the call. This is not necessary,
and in fact, highly suboptimal on embedded cores. Once the function pointer is
known, the loads can be performed ahead of time; in fact, they can be hoisted
out of loops.
Now these function descriptors are almost always generated by the linker, and
thus the contents of the descriptors are invariant. As a result, by default,
we'll mark the associated loads as invariant (allowing them to be hoisted out
of loops). I've added a target feature to turn this off, however, just in case
someone needs that option (constructing an on-stack descriptor, casting it to a
function pointer, and then calling it cannot be well-defined C/C++ code, but I
can imagine some JIT-compilation system doing so).
Consider this simple test:
$ cat call.c
typedef void (*fp)();
void bar(fp x) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1600000000; ++i)
x();
}
$ cat main.c
typedef void (*fp)();
void bar(fp x);
void foo() {}
int main() {
bar(foo);
}
On the PPC A2 (the BG/Q supercomputer), marking the function-descriptor loads
as invariant brings the execution time down to ~8 seconds from ~32 seconds with
the loads in the loop.
The difference on the POWER7 is smaller. Compiling with:
gcc -std=c99 -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c : ~6 seconds [this is 4.8.2]
clang -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c : ~5.3 seconds
clang -O3 -mcpu=native call.c main.c -mno-invariant-function-descriptors : ~4 seconds
(looks like we'd benefit from additional loop unrolling here, as a first
guess, because this is faster with the extra loads)
The -mno-invariant-function-descriptors will be added to Clang shortly.

Patch by Kit Barton.
Support for the ICBT instruction is currently present, but limited to
embedded processors. This change adds a new FeatureICBT that can be used
to identify whether the ICBT instruction is available on a specific processor.
Two new tests are added:
* Positive test to ensure the icbt instruction is present when using
-mcpu=pwr8
* Negative test to ensure the icbt instruction is not generated when
using -mcpu=pwr7
Both test cases use the Prefetch opcode in LLVM. They are based on the
ppc64-prefetch.ll test case.

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.

The current VSX feature for PowerPC specifies availability of the VSX
instructions added with the 2.06 architecture version. With 2.07, the
architecture adds new instructions to both the Category:Vector and
Category:VSX instruction sets. Additionally, unaligned vector storage
operations have improved performance.
This patch adds a feature to provide access to the new instructions
and performance capabilities of Power8. For compatibility with GCC,
the feature is controlled via a new -mpower8-vector switch, and the
feature causes the __POWER8_VECTOR__ builtin define to be generated by
the preprocessor.
There is a companion patch for cfe being committed at the same time.

Older Book-E cores, such as the PPC 440, support only msync (which has the same
encoding as sync 0), but not any of the other sync forms. Newer Book-E cores,
however, do support sync, and for performance reasons we should allow the use
of the more-general form.
This refactors msync use into its own feature group so that it applies by
default only to older Book-E cores (of the relevant cores, we only have
definitions for the PPC440/450 currently).

While LLVM now supports both ELFv1 and ELFv2 ABIs, their use is currently
hard-coded via the target triple: powerpc64-linux is always ELFv1, while
powerpc64le-linux is always ELFv2.
These are of course the most common scenarios, but in principle it is
possible to support the ELFv2 ABI on big-endian or the ELFv1 ABI on
little-endian systems (and GCC does support that), and there are some
special use cases for that (e.g. certain Linux kernel versions could
only be built using ELFv1 on LE).
This patch implements the LLVM side of supporting this. As precedent
on other platforms suggests, ABI options are passed to the back-end as
features. Thus, this patch implements two features "elfv1" and "elfv2"
that select the desired ABI if present. (If not, the LLVM uses the
same default rules as now.)

Refactoring; no functional changes intended
Removed PostRAScheduler bits from subtargets (X86, ARM).
Added PostRAScheduler bit to MCSchedModel class.
This bit is set by a CPU's scheduling model (if it exists).
Removed enablePostRAScheduler() function from TargetSubtargetInfo and subclasses.
Fixed the existing enablePostMachineScheduler() method to use the MCSchedModel (was just returning false!).
Added methods to TargetSubtargetInfo to allow overrides for AntiDepBreakMode, CriticalPathRCs, and OptLevel for PostRAScheduling.
Added enablePostRAScheduler() function to PostRAScheduler class which queries the subtarget for the above values.
Preserved existing scheduler behavior for ARM, MIPS, PPC, and X86:
a. ARM overrides the CPU's postRA settings by enabling postRA for any non-Thumb or Thumb2 subtarget.
b. MIPS overrides the CPU's postRA settings by enabling postRA for everything.
c. PPC overrides the CPU's postRA settings by enabling postRA for everything.
d. X86 is the only target that actually has postRA specified via sched model info.

system headers above the includes of generated '.inc' files that
actually contain code. In a few targets this was already done pretty
consistently, but it wasn't done *really* consistently anywhere. It is
strictly cleaner IMO and necessary in a bunch of places where the
DEBUG_TYPE is referenced from the generated code. Consistency with the
necessary places trumps. Hopefully the build bots are OK with the
movement of intrin.h...
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@206838 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
behavior based on other files defining DEBUG_TYPE, which means it cannot
define DEBUG_TYPE at all. This is actually better IMO as it forces folks
to define relevant DEBUG_TYPEs for their files. However, it requires all
files that currently use DEBUG(...) to define a DEBUG_TYPE if they don't
already. I've updated all such files in LLVM and will do the same for
other upstream projects.
This still leaves one important change in how LLVM uses the DEBUG_TYPE
macro going forward: we need to only define the macro *after* header
files have been #include-ed. Previously, this wasn't possible because
Debug.h required the macro to be pre-defined. This commit removes that.
By defining DEBUG_TYPE after the includes two things are fixed:
- Header files that need to provide a DEBUG_TYPE for some inline code
can do so by defining the macro before their inline code and undef-ing
it afterward so the macro does not escape.
- We no longer have rampant ODR violations due to including headers with
different DEBUG_TYPE definitions. This may be mostly an academic
violation today, but with modules these types of violations are easy
to check for and potentially very relevant.
Where necessary to suppor headers with DEBUG_TYPE, I have moved the
definitions below the includes in this commit. I plan to move the rest
of the DEBUG_TYPE macros in LLVM in subsequent commits; this one is big
enough.
The comments in Debug.h, which were hilariously out of date already,
have been updated to reflect the recommended practice going forward.

VSX is an ISA extension supported on the POWER7 and later cores that enhances
floating-point vector and scalar capabilities. Among other things, this adds
<2 x double> support and generally helps to reduce register pressure.
The interesting part of this ISA feature is the register configuration: there
are 64 new 128-bit vector registers, the 32 of which are super-registers of the
existing 32 scalar floating-point registers, and the second 32 of which overlap
with the 32 Altivec vector registers. This makes things like vector insertion
and extraction tricky: this can be free but only if we force a restriction to
the right register subclass when needed. A new "minipass" PPCVSXCopy takes care
of this (although it could do a more-optimal job of it; see the comment about
unnecessary copies below).
Please note that, currently, VSX is not enabled by default when targeting
anything because it is not yet ready for that. The assembler and disassembler
are fully implemented and tested. However:
- CodeGen support causes miscompiles; test-suite runtime failures:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/FreeBench/distray/distray

MultiSource/Benchmarks/tramp3d-v4/tramp3d-v4
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/almabench
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/matmul_f64_4x4
- The lowering currently falls back to using Altivec instructions far more
than it should. Worse, there are some things that are scalarized through the
stack that shouldn't be.
- A lot of unnecessary copies make it past the optimizers, and this needs to
be fixed.
- Many more regression tests are needed.
Normally, I'd fix these things prior to committing, but there are some
students and other contributors who would like to work this, and so it makes
sense to move this development process upstream where it can be subject to the
regular code-review procedures.

This change enables tracking i1 values in the PowerPC backend using the
condition register bits. These bits can be treated on PowerPC as separate
registers; individual bit operations (and, or, xor, etc.) are supported.
Tracking booleans in CR bits has several advantages:
- Reduction in register pressure (because we no longer need GPRs to store
boolean values).
- Logical operations on booleans can be handled more efficiently; we used to
have to move all results from comparisons into GPRs, perform promoted
logical operations in GPRs, and then move the result back into condition
register bits to be used by conditional branches. This can be very
inefficient, because the throughput of these CR <-> GPR moves have high
latency and low throughput (especially when other associated instructions
are accounted for).
- On the POWER7 and similar cores, we can increase total throughput by using
the CR bits. CR bit operations have a dedicated functional unit.
Most of this is more-or-less mechanical: Adjustments were needed in the
calling-convention code, support was added for spilling/restoring individual
condition-register bits, and conditional branch instruction definitions taking
specific CR bits were added (plus patterns and code for generating bit-level
operations).
This is enabled by default when running at -O2 and higher. For -O0 and -O1,
where the ability to debug is more important, this feature is disabled by
default. Individual CR bits do not have assigned DWARF register numbers,
and storing values in CR bits makes them invisible to the debugger.
It is critical, however, that we don't move i1 values that have been promoted
to larger values (such as those passed as function arguments) into bit
registers only to quickly turn around and move the values back into GPRs (such
as happens when values are returned by functions). A pair of target-specific
DAG combines are added to remove the trunc/extends in:
trunc(binary-ops(binary-ops(zext(x), zext(y)), ...)
and:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
In short, we only want to use CR bits where some of the i1 values come from
comparisons or are used by conditional branches or selects. To put it another
way, if we can do the entire i1 computation in GPRs, then we probably should
(on the POWER7, the GPR-operation throughput is higher, and for all cores, the
CR <-> GPR moves are expensive).

This adds a scheduling model for the POWER7 (P7) core, and enables the
machine-instruction scheduler when targeting the P7. Scheduling for the P7,
like earlier ooo PPC cores, requires considering both dispatch group hazards,
and functional unit resources and latencies. These are both modeled in a
combined itinerary. Dispatch group formation is still handled by the post-RA
scheduler (which still needs to be updated for the P7, but nevertheless does a
pretty good job).
One interesting aspect of this change is that I've also enabled to use of AA
duing CodeGen for the P7 (just as it is for the embedded cores). The benchmark
results seem to support this decision (see below), and while this is normally
useful for in-order cores, and not for ooo cores like the P7, I think that the
dispatch slot hazards are enough like in-order resources to make the AA useful.

These are 99.5% confidence intervals from 5 runs per configuration. Regarding
the choice to turn on AA during CodeGen, of these results, four seem
significantly in favor of using AA, and one seems significantly against. I'm
not making this decision based on these numbers alone, but these results
seem consistent with results I have from other tests, and so I think that, on
balance, using AA is a win.

Aggressive anti-dependency breaking is enabled by default for all PPC cores.
This provides a general speedup on the P7 and other platforms (among other
factors, the instruction group formation for the non-embedded PPC cores is done
during post-RA scheduling). In order to do this safely, the incompatibility
between uses of the MFOCRF instruction and anti-dependency breaking are
resolved by marking MFOCRF with hasExtraSrcRegAllocReq. As noted in the removed
FIXME, the problem was that MFOCRF's output is sensitive to the identify of the
source register, and always paired with a shift to undo this effect. Because
anti-dependency breaking is unaware of this hidden dependency of the shift
amount on the source register of the MFOCRF instruction, changing that register
must be inhibited.
Two test cases were adjusted: The SjLj test was made more insensitive to
register choices and scheduling; the saveCR test disabled anti-dependency
breaking because part of what it is testing is proper register reuse.

This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target.
However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian
code. Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian
built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for
syntax-only testing. Code generation will otherwise be the same as
powerpc64 (big-endian), for now.
The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian
PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a
thing.
The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import
worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
code are generated.

with some Newton iteration, in order to quickly generate floating-point
division and sqrt results. All of these instructions are separately optional,
and so each has its own feature flag (except for the Altivec instructions,
which are covered under the existing Altivec flag). Doing this is not only
faster than using the IEEE-compliant fdiv/fsqrt instructions, but allows these
computations to be pipelined with other computations in order to hide their
overall latency.
I've also added a couple of missing fnmsub patterns which turned out to be
missing (but are necessary for good code generation of the Newton iterations).
Altivec needs a similar fix, but that will probably be more complicated because
fneg is expanded for Altivec's v4f32.

The P7 and A2 have additional floating-point conversion instructions which
allow a direct two-instruction sequence (plus load/store) to convert from all
combinations (signed/unsigned i32/i64) <--> (float/double) (on previous cores,
only some combinations were directly available).
