There are currently two schemes for mapping instruction operands to
instruction-format variables for generating the instruction encoders and
decoders for the assembler and disassembler respectively: a) to map by name and
b) to map by position.
In the long run, we'd like to remove the position-based scheme and use only
name-based mapping. Unfortunately, the name-based scheme currently cannot deal
with complex operands (those with suboperands), and so we currently must use
the position-based scheme for those. On the other hand, the position-based
scheme cannot deal with (register) variables that are split into multiple
ranges. An upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend (adding VSX support) will
require this capability. While we could teach the position-based scheme to
handle that, since we'd like to move away from the position-based mapping
generally, it seems silly to teach it new tricks now. What makes more sense is
to allow for partial transitioning: use the name-based mapping when possible,
and only use the position-based scheme when necessary.
Now the problem is that mixing the two sensibly was not possible: the
position-based mapping would map based on position, but would not skip those
variables that were mapped by name. Instead, the two sets of assignments would
overlap. However, I cannot currently change the current behavior, because there
are some backends that rely on it [I think mistakenly, but I'll send a message
to llvmdev about that]. So I've added a new TableGen bit variable:
noNamedPositionallyEncodedOperands, that can be used to cause the
position-based mapping to skip variables mapped by name.

the stack of the analysis group because they are all immutable passes.
This is made clear by Craig's recent work to use override
systematically -- we weren't overriding anything for 'finalizePass'
because there is no such thing.
This is kind of a lame restriction on the API -- we can no longer push
and pop things, we just set up the stack and run. However, I'm not
invested in building some better solution on top of the existing
(terrifying) immutable pass and legacy pass manager.

The old system was fairly convoluted:
* A temporary label was created.
* A single PROLOG_LABEL was created with it.
* A few MCCFIInstructions were created with the same label.
The semantics were that the cfi instructions were mapped to the PROLOG_LABEL
via the temporary label. The output position was that of the PROLOG_LABEL.
The temporary label itself was used only for doing the mapping.
The new CFI_INSTRUCTION has a 1:1 mapping to MCCFIInstructions and points to
one by holding an index into the CFI instructions of this function.
I did consider removing MMI.getFrameInstructions completelly and having
CFI_INSTRUCTION own a MCCFIInstruction, but MCCFIInstructions have non
trivial constructors and destructors and are somewhat big, so the this setup
is probably better.
The net result is that we don't create temporary labels that are never used.

When copying an i1 value into a GPR for a vaarg call, we need to explicitly

On cores without fpcvt support, we cannot promote int_to_fp i1 operations,
because there is nothing to promote them to. The most straightforward

This uncovers that ValueMap too is in the IR library. Ironically, the

Now that the PowerPC backend can track individual CR bits as first-class
registers, we should also have a way of allocating them for inline asm
statements. Because these registers are only one bit, if an output variable is
implicitly cast to a larger integer size, we'll get an any_extend to that
larger type (this is part of the existing target-independent logic). As a
result, regardless of the size of the output type, only the first bit is
meaningful.
The constraint identifier "wc" has been chosen for this purpose. Although gcc
does not currently support allocating individual CR bits, this identifier
choice has been coordinated with the gcc PowerPC team, and will be marked as
reserved for this purpose in the gcc constraints.md file.

This generalizes the code to eliminate extra truncs/exts around i1 bit
operations to also do the same on PPC64 for i32 bit operations. This eliminates
a fairly prevalent code wart:
int foo(int a) {
return a == 5 ? 7 : 8;
}
On PPC64, because of the extension implied by the ABI, this would generate:
cmplwi 0, 3, 5
li 12, 8
li 4, 7
isel 3, 4, 12, 2
rldicl 3, 3, 0, 32
blr
where the 'rldicl 3, 3, 0, 32', the extension, is completely unnecessary. At
least for the single-BB case (which is all that the DAG combine mechanism can
handle), this unnecessary extension is no longer generated.

The PPC isel instruction can fold 0 into the first operand (thus eliminating
the need to materialize a zero-containing register when the 'true' result of
the isel is 0). When the isel is fed by a bit register operation that we can
invert, do so as part of the bit-register-operation peephole routine.

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).

TargetLoweringBase is implemented in CodeGen, so before this patch we had

r201608 made llvm corretly handle private globals with MachO. r201622 fixed
a bug in it and r201624 and r201625 were changes for using private linkage,
assuming that llvm would do the right thing.
They all got reverted because r201608 introduced a crash in LTO. This patch
includes a fix for that. The issue was that TargetLoweringObjectFile now has
to be initialized before we can mangle names of private globals. This is
trivially true during the normal codegen pipeline (the asm printer does it),
but LTO has to do it manually.
llvm-svn: 201700
The IR
@foo = private constant i32 42
is valid, but before this patch we would produce an invalid MachO from it. It
was invalid because it would use an L label in a section where the liker needs
the labels in order to atomize it.
One way of fixing it would be to just reject this IR in the backend, but that
would not be very front end friendly.
What this patch does is use an 'l' prefix in sections that we know the linker
requires symbols for atomizing them. This allows frontends to just use
private and not worry about which sections they go to or how the linker handles
them.
One small issue with this strategy is that now a symbol name depends on the
section, which is not available before codegen. This is not a problem in
practice. The reason is that it only happens with private linkage, which will
be ignored by the non codegen users (llvm-nm and llvm-ar).

Summary:
AsmPrinter::EmitInlineAsm() will no longer use the EmitRawText() call for
targets with mature MC support. Such targets will always parse the inline
assembly (even when emitting assembly). Targets without mature MC support
continue to use EmitRawText() for assembly output.
The hasRawTextSupport() check in AsmPrinter::EmitInlineAsm() has been replaced
with MCAsmInfo::UseIntegratedAs which when true, causes the integrated assembler
to parse inline assembly (even when emitting assembly output). UseIntegratedAs
is set to true for targets that consider any failure to parse valid assembly
to be a bug. Target specific subclasses generally enable the integrated
assembler in their constructor. The default value can be overridden with
-no-integrated-as.
All tests that rely on inline assembly supporting invalid assembly (for example,
those that use mnemonics such as 'foo' or 'hello world') have been updated to
disable the integrated assembler.
Changes since review (and last commit attempt):
- Fixed test failures that were missed due to configuration of local build.
(fixes crash.ll and a couple others).
- Fixed tests that happened to pass because the local build was on X86
(should fix 2007-12-17-InvokeAsm.ll)
- mature-mc-support.ll's should no longer require all targets to be compiled.
(should fix ARM and PPC buildbots)
- Object output (-filetype=obj and similar) now forces the integrated assembler
to be enabled regardless of default setting or -no-integrated-as.
(should fix SystemZ buildbots)
