Introduce MCAsmBackend::addReloc to manage relocation appending.
The default implementation uses shouldForceRelocation to check
unresolved fixups and calls recordRelocation to append a relocation when
needed.
RISCV and LoongArch override addReloc to handle ADD/SUB relocations,
with potential support for RELAX relocations in the future.
AVR overrides addReloc to customize shouldForceRelocation behavior
(#121498).
applyFixup is moved into evaluateFixup.
Register assembly printer passes in the pass registry.
This makes it possible to use `llc -start-before=<target>-asm-printer ...` in tests.
Adds a `char &ID` parameter to the AssemblyPrinter constructor to allow
targets to use the `INITIALIZE_PASS` macros and register the pass in the
pass registry. This currently has a default parameter so it won't break
any targets that have not been updated.
This makes them more consistent with the checks performed by regular loads. We can't simply add IsNonExtLoad to the existing atomic_load_8/16/32/64 as that would affect out of tree targets.
We will increase the use of raw relocation types and eliminate fixup
kinds that correspond to relocation types. The getFixupKindInfo
functions will return an rvalue instead. Let's update the return type
from a const reference to a value type.
Add two helper functions to simplify checks for relocation types,
replacing direct comparisons with FirstRelocationKind and
FirstLiteralRelocationKind. Note: Some targets haven't utilized
isRelocation yet.
Also, update RelaxFixupKind to use 0 as the sentinel value.
Move `Fixup.getKind() >= FirstLiteralRelocationKind` from target hooks
to ELFObjectWriter::recordRelocation.
Currently, getRelocType cannot be skipped for LoongArch due to #135519
Commit 52eb11f925ddeba4e1b3840fd636ee87387f3ada temporarily introduced
getSymSpecifier to prepare for "MCValue: Replace MCSymbolRefExpr members

Commit 0999cbd0b9ed8aa893cce10d681dec6d54b200ad (2014) introduced
`MCValue::RefKind` for AArch64 ELF as a clean approach to encode the
relocation specifier.
Following numerous migration commits, direct references to getSymA and
getSymB have been eliminated. This allows us to seamlessly update SymA
and SymB, replacing MCSymbolRefExpr with MCSymbol.
Removeing reliance on a MCAssembler::evaluateFixup hack
(`if (Target.SymSpecifier || SA.isUndefined()) {` (previosuly
`if (A->getKind() != MCSymbolRefExpr::VK_None || SA.isUndefined()) {`))
requires 38c3ad36be1facbe6db2dede7e93c0f12fb4e1dc and 4182d2dcb5ecbfc34d41a6cd11810cd36844eddb
Revert the temporary RISCV/LoongArch workaround
(7e62715e0cd433ed97749549c6582c4e1aa689a3) during migration.
MCAssembler::evaluateFixup needs an extra `!Add->isAbsolute()` case
to support `movq abs@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax; abs = 42` in llvm/test/MC/ELF/relocation-alias.s
(ELFObjectWriter::isSymbolRefDifferenceFullyResolvedImpl asserts if
called on an absolute symbol).
clang -fexperimental-relative-c++-abi-vtables might generate `@plt` and
`@gotpcrel` specifiers in data directives. The syntax is not used in
humand-written assembly code, and is not supported by GNU assembler.
Note: the `@plt` in `.word foo@plt` is different from
the legacy `call func@plt` (where `@plt` is simply ignored).
The `@plt` syntax was selected was simply due to a quirk of AsmParser:
the syntax was supported by all targets until I updated it
to be an opt-in feature in a0671758eb6e52a758bd1b096a9b421eec60204c
RISC-V favors the `%specifier(expr)` syntax following MIPS and Sparc,
and we should follow this convention.
This PR adds support for `.word %pltpcrel(foo+offset)` and
`.word %gotpcrel(foo)`, and drops `@plt` and `@gotpcrel`.
* MCValue::SymA can no longer have a SymbolVariant. Add an assert
similar to that of AArch64ELFObjectWriter.cpp before
https://reviews.llvm.org/D81446 (see my analysis at
https://maskray.me/blog/2025-03-16-relocation-generation-in-assemblers
if intrigued)
* `jump foo@plt, x31` now has a different diagnostic.

Follow the X86, Mips, and RISCV renaming.
> "Relocation modifier" suggests adjustments happen during the linker's relocation step rather than the assembler's expression evaluation.
> "Relocation specifier" is clear, aligns with Arm and IBM AIX's documentation, and fits the assembler's role seamlessly.
In addition, rename *MCExpr::getKind, which confusingly shadows the base class getKind.
Follow-up to 14951a5a3120e50084b3c5fb217e2d47992a24d1
* Unify getVariantKindName and getVariantKindForName
* Allow each target to specify the preferred case (albeit ignored in MCParser)
Note: targets that use variant kinds should call MCExpr::print with a
non-null MAI to print variant kinds. operator<< passes a nullptr to
`MCExpr::print`, which should be avoided (e.g. Hexagon; fixed in
commit cf00ac81ac049cddb80aec1d6d88b8fab4f209e8).
All VariantKinds except VK_None/VK_Invalid are target-specific (e.g. a
target may not support "@plt" even if it is widely available).
Move the parsers to lib/Target to ensure that VariantKind from unrelated
targets will not be parsed.
https://reviews.llvm.org/D23669 inappropriately added MIPS-specific
dtprel/tprel directives to MCStreamer. In addition,
llvm-mc -filetype=null parsing these directives will crash.
This patch moves these functions to MipsTargetStreamer and fixes
-filetype=null.
gprel32 and gprel64, called by AsmPrinter, are moved to
MCTargetStreamer.
NVPTX, SPIRV, and WebAssembly pass virtual registers to this function
since they don't perform register allocation. We need to use Register to
avoid a virtual register being converted to MCRegister by the caller.
Callee saved registers should always be phyiscal registers. They are
often passed directly to other functions that take MCRegister like
getMinimalPhysRegClass or TargetRegisterClass::contains.
Unfortunately, sometimes the MCRegister is compared to a Register which
gave an ambiguous comparison error when the MCRegister is on the LHS.
Adding a MCRegister==Register comparison operator created more ambiguous
comparison errors elsewhere. These cases were usually comparing against
a base or frame pointer register that is a physical register in a
Register. For those I added an explicit conversion of Register to
MCRegister to fix the error.
Use nonstatic member instead. This requires explicit conversions, but
many will go away as we continue converting unsigned to Register.
In a few places where it was simple, I changed unsigned to Register.
This patch is in preparation to enable setting the MachineInstr::MIFlag
flags, i.e. FrameSetup/FrameDestroy, on callee saved register
spill/reload instructions in prologue/epilogue. This eventually helps in
setting the prologue_end and epilogue_begin markers more accurately.
The DWARF Spec in "6.4 Call Frame Information" says:
The code that allocates space on the call frame stack and performs the
save
operation is called the subroutine’s prologue, and the code that
performs
the restore operation and deallocates the frame is called its epilogue.
which means the callee saved register spills and reloads are part of
prologue (a.k.a frame setup) and epilogue (a.k.a frame destruction),
respectively. And, IIUC, LLVM backend uses FrameSetup/FrameDestroy flags
to identify instructions that are part of call frame setup and
destruction.
In the trunk, while most targets consistently set
FrameSetup/FrameDestroy on save/restore call frame information (CFI)
instructions of callee saved registers, they do not consistently set
those flags on the actual callee saved register spill/reload
instructions.
I believe this patch provides a clean mechanism to set
FrameSetup/FrameDestroy flags on the actual callee saved register
spill/reload instructions as needed. And, by having default argument of
MachineInstr::NoFlags for Flags, this patch is a NFC.
With this patch, the targets have to just pass FrameSetup/FrameDestroy
flag to the storeRegToStackSlot/loadRegFromStackSlot calls from the
target derived spillCalleeSavedRegisters and restoreCalleeSavedRegisters
to set those flags on callee saved register spill/reload instructions.
Also, this patch makes it very easy to set the source line information
on callee saved register spill/reload instructions which is needed by
the DwarfDebug.cpp implementation to set prologue_end and epilogue_begin
markers more accurately.
As per DwarfDebug.cpp implementation:
prologue_end is the first known non-DBG_VALUE and non-FrameSetup
location
that marks the beginning of the function body
epilogue_begin is the first FrameDestroy location that has been seen in
the
epilogue basic block
With this patch, the targets have to just do the following to set the
source line information on callee saved register spill/reload
instructions, without hampering the LLVM's efforts to avoid adding
source line information on the artificial code generated by the
compiler.
<Foo>InstrInfo::storeRegToStackSlot() {
...
DebugLoc DL =
Flags & MachineInstr::FrameSetup ? DebugLoc() : MBB.findDebugLoc(I);
...
}
<Foo>InstrInfo::loadRegFromStackSlot() {
...
DebugLoc DL =
Flags & MachineInstr::FrameDestroy ? MBB.findDebugLoc(I) : DebugLoc();
...
}
While I understand this patch would break out-of-tree backend builds, I
think it is in the right direction.
One immediate use case that can benefit from this patch is fixing
#120553 becomes simpler.
These properties are only valid on ComplexPatterns. Having them as flags
is more convenient because one can now use "let = ... in" syntax to set
these flags on several patterns at a time. This is also less error-prone
as it makes it impossible to specify these properties on records derived
from SDPatternOperator.
Pull Request: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/119599
Following discussions in #110443, and the following earlier discussions
in https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-October/117907.html,
https://reviews.llvm.org/D38482, https://reviews.llvm.org/D38489, this
PR attempts to overhaul the `TargetMachine` and `LLVMTargetMachine`
interface classes. More specifically:
1. Makes `TargetMachine` the only class implemented under
`TargetMachine.h` in the `Target` library.
2. `TargetMachine` contains target-specific interface functions that
relate to IR/CodeGen/MC constructs, whereas before (at least on paper)
it was supposed to have only IR/MC constructs. Any Target that doesn't
want to use the independent code generator simply does not implement
them, and returns either `false` or `nullptr`.
3. Renames `LLVMTargetMachine` to `CodeGenCommonTMImpl`. This renaming
aims to make the purpose of `LLVMTargetMachine` clearer. Its interface
was moved under the CodeGen library, to further emphasis its usage in
Targets that use CodeGen directly.
4. Makes `TargetMachine` the only interface used across LLVM and its
projects. With these changes, `CodeGenCommonTMImpl` is simply a set of
shared function implementations of `TargetMachine`, and CodeGen users
don't need to static cast to `LLVMTargetMachine` every time they need a
CodeGen-specific feature of the `TargetMachine`.
5. More importantly, does not change any requirements regarding library
linking.

The node was introduced in 59c39dc1 and was intended to allow writing
patterns like this:
`[(set AL, (mul AL, GR8:$src1)), (implicit EFLAGS)]`
However, it does not introduce new functionality because the same
pattern can be equivalently expressed as:
`[(set AL, EFLAGS, (mul AL, GR8:$src1))]`
The latter form is also more flexible as it allows reordering output
operands.
In most places uses of `implicit` were redundant -- removing them didn't
change anything in the generated DAG tables. The only three cases where
it did have effect are in X86InstrArithmetic.td and X86InstrSystem.td --
those were rewritten to use `set` node.
Removing `implicit` from some patterns made them importable by GISel,
hence the change in a test.
Some targets (e.g. PPC and Hexagon) already did this. I think it's best
to do this consistently so that frontend authors don't run into
inconsistent results when they emit `naked` functions. For example, in
Zig, we had to change our emit code to also set `frame-pointer=none` to
get reliable results across targets.
Note: I don't have commit access.
