This patch utilizes the -maix-small-local-exec-tls option to produce a
faster,
non-TOC-based access sequence for the local-exec TLS model.
Specifically, for
when the offsets from the TLS variable are non-zero.
In particular, this patch produces either a single:
- addi/la with a displacement off of R13 plus a non-zero offset for when
an address is calculated, or
- load or store off of R13 plus a non-zero offset for when an address is
calculated and used for further
access where R13 is the thread pointer, respectively.
In order to produce a single addi or load/store off of the thread
pointer with a non-zero offset,
this patch also adds the necessary support in the assembly printer when
printing these instructions.
Specifically:
- The non-zero offset is added to the TLS variable address when the
address of the
TLS variable + it's offset is less than 32KB.
- Otherwise, when the address of the TLS variable + its offset is
greater than 32KB, the
non-zero offset (and a multiple of 64KB) is subtracted from the TLS
address.
This handling in the assembly printer is necessary to ensure that the
TLS address + the non-zero offset
is between [-32768, 32768), so that the total displacement can fit
within the addi/load/store instructions.
This patch is meant to be a follow-up to
3f46e5453d9310b15d974e876f6132e3cf50c4b1 (where the
optimization occurs for when the offset is zero).
This patch utilizes the -maix-small-local-exec-tls option added in
D155544 to produce a faster access sequence for the local-exec TLS
model, where loading from the TOC can be avoided.
The patch either produces an addi/la with a displacement off of r13
(the thread pointer) when the address is calculated, or it produces an
addi/la followed by a load/store when the address is calculated and
used for further accesses.
This patch also optimizes this sequence a bit more where we can remove
the addi/la when the load/store offset is 0. A follow up patch will
be posted to account for when the load/store offset is non-zero, and
currently in these situations we keep the addi/la that precedes the
load/store.
Furthermore, this access sequence is only performed for TLS variables
that are less than ~32KB in size.
