This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

Fix the ARM backend's analyzeBranch so it doesn't ignore predicated
return instructions, and make the MachineVerifier rule more strict.

Summary:
This catches malformed mir files which specify alignment as log2 instead of pow2.

This is patch is part of a series to introduce an Alignment type.

Both WhileLoopStart and LoopEnd may get turned into a cmp and br pair,
so add an implicit def to these pseudo instructions in case that WLS
and LE aren't generated.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D65275
llvm-svn: 367089
Backend changes to enable WLS/LE low-overhead loops for armv8.1-m:
1) Use TTI to communicate to the HardwareLoop pass that we should try
to generate intrinsics that guard the loop entry, as well as setting
the loop trip count.
2) Lower the BRCOND that uses said intrinsic to an Arm specific node:
ARMWLS.
3) ISelDAGToDAG the node to a new pseudo instruction:
t2WhileLoopStart.
4) Add support in ArmLowOverheadLoops to handle the new pseudo
instruction.
