+Linux is missing some basic tail call support:
+
+#include <math.h>
+double foo(double a) { return sin(a); }
+
+This compiles into this on x86-64 Linux (but not darwin):
+foo:
+ subq $8, %rsp
+ call sin
+ addq $8, %rsp
+ ret
+vs:
+
+foo:
+ jmp sin
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
Tail call optimization improvements: Tail call optimization currently
pushes all arguments on the top of the stack (their normal place for
non-tail call optimized calls) that source from the callers arguments
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-This testcase misses a read/modify/write opportunity (from PR1425):
-
-void vertical_decompose97iH1(int *b0, int *b1, int *b2, int width){
- int i;
- for(i=0; i<width; i++)
- b1[i] += (1*(b0[i] + b2[i])+0)>>0;
-}
-
-We compile it down to:
-
-LBB1_2: # bb
- movl (%esi,%edi,4), %ebx
- addl (%ecx,%edi,4), %ebx
- addl (%edx,%edi,4), %ebx
- movl %ebx, (%ecx,%edi,4)
- incl %edi
- cmpl %eax, %edi
- jne LBB1_2 # bb
-
-the inner loop should add to the memory location (%ecx,%edi,4), saving
-a mov. Something like:
-
- movl (%esi,%edi,4), %ebx
- addl (%edx,%edi,4), %ebx
- addl %ebx, (%ecx,%edi,4)
-
-Here is another interesting example:
-
-void vertical_compose97iH1(int *b0, int *b1, int *b2, int width){
- int i;
- for(i=0; i<width; i++)
- b1[i] -= (1*(b0[i] + b2[i])+0)>>0;
-}
-
-We miss the r/m/w opportunity here by using 2 subs instead of an add+sub[mem]:
-
-LBB9_2: # bb
- movl (%ecx,%edi,4), %ebx
- subl (%esi,%edi,4), %ebx
- subl (%edx,%edi,4), %ebx
- movl %ebx, (%ecx,%edi,4)
- incl %edi
- cmpl %eax, %edi
- jne LBB9_2 # bb
-
-Additionally, LSR should rewrite the exit condition of these loops to use
-a stride-4 IV, would would allow all the scales in the loop to go away.
-This would result in smaller code and more efficient microops.

In SSE mode, we turn abs and neg into a load from the constant pool plus a xor
or and instruction, for example:
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-handling llvm.memory.barrier on pre SSE2 cpus
-
-should generate:
-lock ; mov %esp, %esp

-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

The generated code on x86 for checking for signed overflow on a multiply the
obvious way is much longer than it needs to be.
xorl %eax, %eax

-There are a few possible improvements here:
-1. We should be able to eliminate the dead load into %ecx
-2. We could change the "movl 8(%esp), %eax" into
- "movzwl 10(%esp), %eax"; this lets us change the cmpl
- into a testl, which is shorter, and eliminate the shift.
-
-We could also in theory eliminate the branch by using a conditional
-for the address of the load, but that seems unlikely to be worthwhile
-in general.

-The coalescer could coalesce "edx" with "eax" to avoid the movl in LBB1_2
-if it commuted the addl in LBB1_1.
+There's an obviously unnecessary movl in .LBB0_2, and we could eliminate a
+couple more movls by putting 4(%esp) into %eax instead of %ecx.

-Legalize loses track of the fact that bools are always zero extended when in

+LLVM misses a load+store narrowing opportunity in this code:

+
+LLVM currently emits this:
+
+ movq bfi(%rip), %rax
+ andl $-65537, 8(%rax)
+ movq bfi(%rip), %rax
+ andl $-131073, 8(%rax)
+ ret
+
+It could narrow the loads and stores to emit this:
+
+ movq bfi(%rip), %rax
+ andb $-2, 10(%rax)
+ movq bfi(%rip), %rax
+ andb $-3, 10(%rax)
+ ret
+
+The trouble is that there is a TokenFactor between the store and the
+load, making it non-trivial to determine if there's anything between
+the load and the store which would prohibit narrowing.
