With -fomit-frame-pointer, even if we set up a frame pointer for other
reasons (e.g. variable-sized or over-aligned stack allocations), we
don't need to create an ABI-compliant frame record. This means that we
can save all of the general-purpose registers in one push, instead of
splitting it to ensure that the frame pointer and link register are
adjacent on the stack, saving two instructions per function.
When using AAPCS-compliant frame chains with PACBTI return address
signing, there ware a number of bugs in the generation of the frame
pointer and function prologues. The most obvious was that we sometimes
would modify r11 before pushing it to the stack, so it wasn't preserved
as required by the PCS. We also sometimes did not push R11 and LR
adjacent to one another on the stack, or used R11 as a frame pointer
without pointing it at the saved value of R11, both of which are
required to have an AAPCS compliant frame chain.

#82801 and #81249, with some tidy-ups done by Mark Murray and myself.

Gentoo is planning to introduce a `*t64` suffix for triples that will be
used by 32-bit platforms that use 64-bit `time_t`. Add support for
parsing and accepting these triples, and while at it make clang
automatically enable the necessary glibc feature macros when this suffix
is used.
An open question is whether we can backport this to LLVM 19.x. After
all, adding new triplets to Triple sounds like an ABI change — though I
suppose we can minimize the risk of breaking something if we move new
enum values to the very end.
We have two different ways of splitting the pushes of callee-saved
registers onto the stack, controlled by the confusingly similar names
STI.splitFramePushPop() and STI.splitFramePointerPush(). This removes
those functions and replaces them with a single function which returns
an enum. This is in preparation for adding another value to that enum.

The feature 'FeaturePrefLoopAlignment' was misleading as it was used to

The InitUndef pass works around a register allocation issue, where undef
operands can be allocated to the same register as early-clobber result
operands. This may lead to ISA constraint violations, where certain
input and output registers are not allowed to overlap.
Originally this pass was implemented for RISCV, and then extended to ARM
in #77770. I've since removed the target-specific parts of the pass in
#106744 and #107885. This PR reduces the pass to use a single
requiresDisjointEarlyClobberAndUndef() target hook and enables it by
default. The hook is disabled for AMDGPU, because overlapping
early-clobber and undef operands are known to be safe for that target,
and we get significant codegen diffs otherwise.
The motivating case is the one in arm64-ldxr-stxr.ll, where we were
previously incorrectly allocating a stxp input and output to the same
register.
Introduce a mechanism to share data between the ARM and AArch64 backends and
TargetParser, to reduce duplication of code. This is similar to the current
RISC-V implementation.
The target tablegen file (in this case `ARM.td` or `AArch64.td`) is
processed during building of `TargetParser` to generate the following
files in the build tree:
- `build/include/llvm/TargetParser/ARMTargetParserDef.inc`
- `build/include/llvm/TargetParser/AArch64TargetParserDef.inc`
For now, the use of these generated files is limited to files _outside_
of `TargetParser`. The main reason for this is that the modifications to
`TargetParser` will require additional data added to the tablegen files,
which I want to split into separate PRs.
… AAPCS frame chain fix (#82801)"
This reverts commit 00e4a4197137410129d4725ffb82bae9ce44bdde. This patch
was found to cause miscompilations and compilation failures.
When code for M class architecture was compiled with AAPCS and PAC
enabled, the frame pointer, r11, was not pushed to the stack adjacent to
the link register. Due to PAC being enabled, r12 was placed between r11
and lr. This patch fixes this by adding an extra case to the already
existing code that splits the GPR push in two when R11 is the frame
pointer and certain paremeters are met. The differential revision for
this previous change can be found here:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D125649. This now ensures that r11 and lr are
pushed in a separate push instruction to the other GPRs when PAC and
AAPCS are enabled, meaning the frame pointer and link register are now
pushed onto the stack adjacent to each other.
When using Greedy Register Allocation, there are times where
early-clobber values are ignored, and assigned the same register. This
is illeagal behaviour for these intructions. To get around this, using
Pseudo instructions for early-clobber registers gives them a definition
and allows Greedy to assign them to a different register. This then
meets the ARM Architecture Reference Manual and matches the defined
behaviour.
This patch takes the existing RISC-V patch and makes it target
independent, then adds support for the ARM Architecture. Doing this will
ensure early-clobber restraints are followed when using the ARM
Architecture. Making the pass target independent will also open up
possibility that support other architectures can be added in the future.
Aligning functions yields small performance gains on
embedded cores, moreso with numerous small function calls.
Similar to aligning loops, if the function can fit within
a single cache line then the performance overhead of
fetching more instructions can be limited.

AArch64 has five system registers intended to be useful as thread
pointers: one for each exception level which is RW at that level and
inaccessible to lower ones, and the special TPIDRRO_EL0 which is
readable but not writable at EL0. AArch32 has three, corresponding to
the AArch64 ones that aren't specific to EL2 or EL3.
Currently clang supports only a subset of these registers, and not
even a consistent subset between AArch64 and AArch32:
- For AArch64, clang permits you to choose between the four TPIDR_ELn
thread registers, but not the fifth one, TPIDRRO_EL0.
- In AArch32, on the other hand, the //only// thread register you can
choose (apart from 'none, use a function call') is TPIDRURO, which
corresponds to (the bottom 32 bits of) AArch64's TPIDRRO_EL0.
So there is no thread register that you can currently use in both
targets!
For custom and bare-metal purposes, users might very reasonably want
to use any of these thread registers. There's no reason they shouldn't
all be supported as options, even if the default choices follow
existing practice on typical operating systems.
This commit extends the range of values acceptable to the `-mtp=`
clang option, so that you can specify any of these registers by (the
lower-case version of) their official names in the ArmARM:
- For AArch64: tpidr_el0, tpidrro_el0, tpidr_el1, tpidr_el2, tpidr_el3
- For AArch32: tpidrurw, tpidruro, tpidrprw
All existing values of the option are still supported and behave the
same as before. Defaults are also unchanged. No command line that
worked already should change behaviour as a result of this.
The new values for the `-mtp=` option have been agreed with Arm's gcc
developers (although I don't know whether they plan to implement them
in the near future).

For functions that require restoring SP from FP (e.g. that need to
align the stack, or that have variable sized allocations), the prologue
and epilogue previously used to look like this:
push {r4-r5, r11, lr}
add r11, sp, #8
...
sub r4, r11, #8
mov sp, r4
pop {r4-r5, r11, pc}
This is problematic, because this unwinding operation (restoring sp
from r11 - offset) can't be expressed with the SEH unwind opcodes
(probably because this unwind procedure doesn't map exactly to
individual instructions; note the detour via r4 in the epilogue too).
To make unwinding work, the GPR push is split into two; the first one
pushing all other registers, and the second one pushing r11+lr, so that
r11 can be set pointing at this spot on the stack:
push {r4-r5}
push {r11, lr}
mov r11, sp
...
mov sp, r11
pop {r11, lr}
pop {r4-r5}
bx lr
For the same setup, MSVC generates code that uses two registers;
r11 still pointing at the {r11,lr} pair, but a separate register
used for restoring the stack at the end:
push {r4-r5, r7, r11, lr}
add r11, sp, #12
mov r7, sp
...
mov sp, r7
pop {r4-r5, r7, r11, pc}
For cases with clobbered float/vector registers, they are pushed
after the GPRs, before the {r11,lr} pair.

This patch permits Swing Modulo Scheduling for ARM targets
turns it on by default for the Cortex-M7. The t2Bcc
instruction is recognized as a loop-ending branch.
MachinePipeliner is extended by adding support for
"unpipelineable" instructions. These instructions are
those which contribute to the loop exit test; in the SMS
papers they are removed before creating the dependence graph
and then inserted into the final schedule of the kernel and
prologues. Support for these instructions was not previously
necessary because current targets supporting SMS have only
supported it for hardware loop branches, which have no
loop-exit-contributing instructions in the loop body.
The current structure of the MachinePipeliner makes it difficult
to remove/exclude these instructions from the dependence graph.
Therefore, this patch leaves them in the graph, but adds a
"normalization" method which moves them in the schedule to
stage 0, which causes them to appear properly in kernel and
prologues.
It was also necessary to be more careful about boundary nodes
when iterating across successors in the dependence graph because
the loop exit branch is now a non-artificial successor to
instructions in the graph. In additional, schedules with physical
use/def pairs in the same cycle should be treated as creating an
invalid schedule because the scheduling logic doesn't respect
physical register dependence once scheduled to the same cycle.

Without this patch, clang would generate calls to __sync_* routines on
targets where it does not make sense; we can't assume the routines exist
on unknown targets. Linux has special implementations of the routines
that work on old ARM targets; other targets have no such routines. In
general, atomics operations which aren't natively supported should go
through libatomic (__atomic_*) APIs, which can support arbitrary atomics
through locks.
ARM targets older than v6, where this patch makes a difference, are rare
in practice, but not completely extinct. See, for example, discussion on
D116088.
This also affects Cortex-M0, but I don't think __sync_* routines
actually exist in any Cortex-M0 libraries. So in practice this just
leads to a slightly different linker error for those cases, I think.
Mechanically, this patch does the following:
- Ensures we run atomic expansion unconditionally; it never makes sense to
completely skip it.
- Fixes getMaxAtomicSizeInBitsSupported() so it returns an appropriate
number on all ARM subtargets.
- Fixes shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR() and shouldExpandAtomicCmpXchgInIR() to
correctly handle subtargets that don't have atomic instructions.

AArch32/Armv8A introduced the performance deprecation of certain patterns
of IT instructions. After some debate internal to ARM, this is now being
reverted; i.e. no IT instruction patterns are performance deprecated
anymore, as the perfomance degredation is not significant enough.
This reverts the following:
"ARMv8-A deprecates some uses of the T32 IT instruction. All uses of
IT that apply to instructions other than a single subsequent 16-bit
instruction from a restricted set are deprecated, as are explicit
references to the PC within that single 16-bit instruction. This permits
the non-deprecated forms of IT and subsequent instructions to be treated
as a single 32-bit conditional instruction."
The deprecation no longer applies, but the behaviour may be controlled
by the -arm-restrict-it and -arm-no-restrict-it command-line options,
with the latter being the default. No warnings about complex IT blocks
will be generated.

This patch implements PAC return address signing for armv8-m. This patch roughly
accomplishes the following things:
- PAC and AUT instructions are generated.
- They're part of the stack frame setup, so that shrink-wrapping can move them
inwards to cover only part of a function
- The auth code generated by PAC is saved across subroutine calls so that AUT
can find it again to check
- PAC is emitted before stacking registers (so that the SP it signs is the one
on function entry).
- The new pseudo-register ra_auth_code is mentioned in the DWARF frame data
- With CMSE also in use: PAC is emitted before stacking FPCXTNS, and AUT
validates the corresponding value of SP
- Emit correct unwind information when PAC is replaced by PACBTI
- Handle tail calls correctly
Some notes:
We make the assembler accept the `.save {ra_auth_code}` directive that is
emitted by the compiler when it saves a register that contains a
return address authentication code.
For EHABI we need to have the `FrameSetup` flag on the instruction and
handle the `t2PACBTI` opcode (identically to `t2PAC`), so we can emit
`.save {ra_auth_code}`, instead of `.save {r12}`.
For PACBTI-M, the instruction which computes return address PAC should use SP
value before adjustment for the argument registers save are (used for variadic
functions and when a parameter is is split between stack and register), but at
the same it should be after the instruction that saves FPCXT when compiling a
CMSE entry function.
This patch moves the varargs SP adjustment after the FPCXT save (they are never
enabled at the same time), so in a following patch handling of the `PAC`
instruction can be placed between them.
Epilogue emission code adjusted in a similar manner.
PACBTI-M code generation should not emit any instructions for architectures
v6-m, v8-m.base, and for A- and R-class cores. Diagnostic message for such cases
is handled separately by a future ticket.
note on tail calls:
If the called function has four arguments that occupy registers `r0`-`r3`, the
only option for holding the function pointer itself is `r12`, but this register
is used to keep the PAC during function/prologue epilogue and clobbers the
function pointer.
When we do the tail call we need the five registers (`r0`-`r3` and `r12`) to
keep six values - the four function arguments, the function pointer and the PAC,
which is obviously impossible.
One option would be to authenticate the return address before all callee-saved
registers are restored, so we have a scratch register to temporarily keep the
value of `r12`. The issue with this approach is that it violates a fundamental
invariant that PAC is computed using CFA as a modifier. It would also mean using
separate instructions to pop `lr` and the rest of the callee-saved registers,
which would offset the advantages of doing a tail call.
Instead, this patch disables indirect tail calls when the called function take
four or more arguments and the return address sign and authentication is enabled
for the caller function, conservatively assuming the caller function would spill
LR.
This patch is part of a series that adds support for the PACBTI-M extension of
