// Random ideas for the X86 backend.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-Missing features:
- - Support for SSE4: http://www.intel.com/software/penryn
-http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/Downloads/Intel%20SSE4%20Programming%20Reference.pdf
- - support for 3DNow!
- - weird abis?
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-Add a MUL2U and MUL2S nodes to represent a multiply that returns both the
-Hi and Lo parts (combination of MUL and MULH[SU] into one node). Add this to
-X86, & make the dag combiner produce it when needed. This will eliminate one
-imul from the code generated for:
-
-long long test(long long X, long long Y) { return X*Y; }
-
-by using the EAX result from the mul. We should add a similar node for
-DIVREM.
-
-another case is:
-
-long long test(int X, int Y) { return (long long)X*Y; }
-
-... which should only be one imul instruction.
-
-or:
-
-unsigned long long int t2(unsigned int a, unsigned int b) {
- return (unsigned long long)a * b;
-}
-
-... which should be one mul instruction.
-
-
-This can be done with a custom expander, but it would be nice to move this to
-generic code.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
But that requires good 8-bit subreg support.
+Also, this might be better. It's an extra shift, but it's one instruction
+shorter, and doesn't stress 8-bit subreg support.
+(From http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg01148.html,
+but without the unnecessary and.)
+ movl %ecx, %eax
+ shrl $5, %eax
+ movl %eax, %edx
+ xorl $1, %edx
+ sall %cl, %eax
+ sall %cl. %edx
+
64-bit shifts (in general) expand to really bad code. Instead of using
cmovs, we should expand to a conditional branch like GCC produces.
xorl $1, %eax
ret
+(Although note that this isn't a legal way to express the code that llvm-gcc
+currently generates for that function.)
+
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
Some isel ideas:
Leave any_extend as pseudo instruction and hint to register
allocator. Delay codegen until post register allocation.
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-Count leading zeros and count trailing zeros:
-
-int clz(int X) { return __builtin_clz(X); }
-int ctz(int X) { return __builtin_ctz(X); }
-
-$ gcc t.c -S -o - -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -masm=intel
-clz:
- bsr %eax, DWORD PTR [%esp+4]
- xor %eax, 31
- ret
-ctz:
- bsf %eax, DWORD PTR [%esp+4]
- ret
-
-however, check that these are defined for 0 and 32. Our intrinsics are, GCC's
-aren't.
-
-Another example (use predsimplify to eliminate a select):
-
-int foo (unsigned long j) {
- if (j)
- return __builtin_ffs (j) - 1;
- else
- return 0;
-}
+Note. any_extend is now turned into an INSERT_SUBREG. We still need to teach
+the coalescer how to deal with it though.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
Evaluate what the best way to codegen sdiv X, (2^C) is. For X/8, we currently
get this:
-int %test1(int %X) {
- %Y = div int %X, 8
- ret int %Y
+define i32 @test1(i32 %X) {
+ %Y = sdiv i32 %X, 8
+ ret i32 %Y
}
_test1:
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-The first BB of this code:
-
-declare bool %foo()
-int %bar() {
- %V = call bool %foo()
- br bool %V, label %T, label %F
-T:
- ret int 1
-F:
- call bool %foo()
- ret int 12
-}
-
-compiles to:
-
-_bar:
- subl $12, %esp
- call L_foo$stub
- xorb $1, %al
- testb %al, %al
- jne LBB_bar_2 # F
-
-It would be better to emit "cmp %al, 1" than a xor and test.
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-Enable X86InstrInfo::convertToThreeAddress().
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We are currently lowering large (1MB+) memmove/memcpy to rep/stosl and rep/movsl
We should leave these as libcalls for everything over a much lower threshold,
since libc is hand tuned for medium and large mem ops (avoiding RFO for large
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) { X = i; Y = i*4; }

-There are 3 issues:
-
-1. Lack of post regalloc LICM.
-2. LSR unable to reused IV for a different type (i16 vs. i32) even though
- the cast would be free.
+This is due to the lack of post regalloc LICM.

-mov $reg, 48(%esp)
-...
-leal 48(%esp), %eax
-mov %eax, (%esp)
-call _foo
-
-Obviously it would have been better for the first mov (or any op) to store
-directly %esp[0] if there are no other uses.
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
Adding to the list of cmp / test poor codegen issues:
int test(__m128 *A, __m128 *B) {
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-If shorter, we should use things like:
-movzwl %ax, %eax
-instead of:
-andl $65535, %EAX
-
-The former can also be used when the two-addressy nature of the 'and' would
-require a copy to be inserted (in X86InstrInfo::convertToThreeAddress).
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-Consider this:
-
-typedef struct pair { float A, B; } pair;
-void pairtest(pair P, float *FP) {
- *FP = P.A+P.B;
-}
-
-We currently generate this code with llvmgcc4:
-
-_pairtest:
- movl 8(%esp), %eax
- movl 4(%esp), %ecx
- movd %eax, %xmm0
- movd %ecx, %xmm1
- addss %xmm0, %xmm1
- movl 12(%esp), %eax
- movss %xmm1, (%eax)
- ret
-
-we should be able to generate:
-_pairtest:
- movss 4(%esp), %xmm0
- movl 12(%esp), %eax
- addss 8(%esp), %xmm0
- movss %xmm0, (%eax)
- ret
-
-The issue is that llvmgcc4 is forcing the struct to memory, then passing it as
-integer chunks. It does this so that structs like {short,short} are passed in
-a single 32-bit integer stack slot. We should handle the safe cases above much
-nicer, while still handling the hard cases.
-
-While true in general, in this specific case we could do better by promoting
-load int + bitcast to float -> load fload. This basically needs alignment info,
-the code is already implemented (but disabled) in dag combine).
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-Another instruction selector deficiency:
-
-void %bar() {
- %tmp = load int (int)** %foo
- %tmp = tail call int %tmp( int 3 )
- ret void
-}
-
-_bar:
- subl $12, %esp
- movl L_foo$non_lazy_ptr, %eax
- movl (%eax), %eax
- call *%eax
- addl $12, %esp
- ret
-
-The current isel scheme will not allow the load to be folded in the call since
-the load's chain result is read by the callseq_start.
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-Don't forget to find a way to squash noop truncates in the JIT environment.
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-Implement anyext in the same manner as truncate that would allow them to be
-eliminated.
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
-How about implementing truncate / anyext as a property of machine instruction
-operand? i.e. Print as 32-bit super-class register / 16-bit sub-class register.
-Do this for the cases where a truncate / anyext is guaranteed to be eliminated.
-For IA32 that is truncate from 32 to 16 and anyext from 16 to 32.
-
-//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-
For this:
int test(int a)
However, if we care more about code size, then imull is better. It's two bytes
shorter than movl + leal.
+On a Pentium M, both variants have the same characteristics with regard
+to throughput; however, the multiplication has a latency of four cycles, as
+opposed to two cycles for the movl+lea variant.
+
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-Implement CTTZ, CTLZ with bsf and bsr.
+__builtin_ffs codegen is messy.
+
+int ffs_(unsigned X) { return __builtin_ffs(X); }
+
+llvm produces:
+ffs_:
+ movl 4(%esp), %ecx
+ bsfl %ecx, %eax
+ movl $32, %edx
+ cmove %edx, %eax
+ incl %eax
+ xorl %edx, %edx
+ testl %ecx, %ecx
+ cmove %edx, %eax
+ ret
+
+vs gcc:
+
+_ffs_:
+ movl $-1, %edx
+ bsfl 4(%esp), %eax
+ cmove %edx, %eax
+ addl $1, %eax
+ ret
+
+Another example of __builtin_ffs (use predsimplify to eliminate a select):
+
+int foo (unsigned long j) {
+ if (j)
+ return __builtin_ffs (j) - 1;
+ else
+ return 0;
+}

-We currently compile sign_extend_inreg into two shifts:

-long foo(long X) {
- return (long)(signed char)X;

-
-becomes:

-_foo:
- movl 4(%esp), %eax
- shll $24, %eax

We need to teach the codegen to convert two-address INC instructions to LEA
-when the flags are dead. For example, on X86-64, compile:
+when the flags are dead (likewise dec). For example, on X86-64, compile:

Sometimes it is better to codegen subtractions from a constant (e.g. 7-x) with
a neg instead of a sub instruction. Consider:
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
-For code like:
-phi (undef, x)
+Leaf functions that require one 4-byte spill slot have a prolog like this:
-We get an implicit def on the undef side. If the phi is spilled, we then get:
-implicitdef xmm1
-store xmm1 -> stack
+_foo:
+ pushl %esi
+ subl $4, %esp
+...
+and an epilog like this:
+ addl $4, %esp
+ popl %esi
+ ret
-It should be possible to teach the x86 backend to "fold" the store into the
-implicitdef, which just deletes the implicit def.
+It would be smaller, and potentially faster, to push eax on entry and to
+pop into a dummy register instead of using addl/subl of esp. Just don't pop
+into any return registers :)
-These instructions should go away:
-#IMPLICIT_DEF %xmm1
-movaps %xmm1, 192(%esp)
-movaps %xmm1, 224(%esp)
-movaps %xmm1, 176(%esp)
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+The X86 backend should fold (branch (or (setcc, setcc))) into multiple
+branches. We generate really poor code for:
+
+double testf(double a) {
+ return a == 0.0 ? 0.0 : (a > 0.0 ? 1.0 : -1.0);
+}
+
+For example, the entry BB is:
+
+_testf:
+ subl $20, %esp
+ pxor %xmm0, %xmm0
+ movsd 24(%esp), %xmm1
+ ucomisd %xmm0, %xmm1
+ setnp %al
+ sete %cl
+ testb %cl, %al
+ jne LBB1_5 # UnifiedReturnBlock
+LBB1_1: # cond_true
+
+
+it would be better to replace the last four instructions with:
+
+ jp LBB1_1
+ je LBB1_5
+LBB1_1:
+
+We also codegen the inner ?: into a diamond:
+
+ cvtss2sd LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm2
+ cvtss2sd LCPI1_1(%rip), %xmm3
+ ucomisd %xmm1, %xmm0
+ ja LBB1_3 # cond_true
+LBB1_2: # cond_true
+ movapd %xmm3, %xmm2
+LBB1_3: # cond_true
+ movapd %xmm2, %xmm0
+ ret
+
+We should sink the load into xmm3 into the LBB1_2 block. This should
+be pretty easy, and will nuke all the copies.

+
+produces this:
+
+ testw %cx, %cx
+ movswl %cx, %esi
+ jns LBB4_109 # cond_next715
+
+Shark tells us that using %cx in the testw instruction is sub-optimal. It
+suggests using the 32-bit register (which is what ICC uses).

+
+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
+or that source from a virtual register (also possibly sourcing from
+callers arguments).
+This is done to prevent overwriting of parameters (see example
+below) that might be used later.
+
+example:
+
+int callee(int32, int64);
+int caller(int32 arg1, int32 arg2) {
+ int64 local = arg2 * 2;
+ return callee(arg2, (int64)local);
+}
+
+[arg1] [!arg2 no longer valid since we moved local onto it]
+[arg2] -> [(int64)
+[RETADDR] local ]
+
+Moving arg1 onto the stack slot of callee function would overwrite
+arg2 of the caller.
+
+Possible optimizations:
+
+
+ - Analyse the actual parameters of the callee to see which would
+ overwrite a caller parameter which is used by the callee and only
+ push them onto the top of the stack.
+
+ int callee (int32 arg1, int32 arg2);
+ int caller (int32 arg1, int32 arg2) {
+ return callee(arg1,arg2);
+ }
+
+ Here we don't need to write any variables to the top of the stack
+ since they don't overwrite each other.
+
+ int callee (int32 arg1, int32 arg2);
+ int caller (int32 arg1, int32 arg2) {
+ return callee(arg2,arg1);
+ }
+
+ Here we need to push the arguments because they overwrite each
+ other.

+We can fold a store into "zeroing a reg". Instead of:

+
+we should get:
+
+movl $0, 124(%esp)
+
+if the flags of the xor are dead.
+
+Likewise, we isel "x<<1" into "add reg,reg". If reg is spilled, this should
+be folded into: shl [mem], 1
+

+
+This testcase misses a read/modify/write opportunity (from PR1425):

+ 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:
+
+ xorpd LCPI1_0, %xmm2
+
+However, if xmm2 gets spilled, we end up with really ugly code like this:
+
+ movsd (%esp), %xmm0
+ xorpd LCPI1_0, %xmm0
+ movsd %xmm0, (%esp)
+
+Since we 'know' that this is a 'neg', we can actually "fold" the spill into
+the neg/abs instruction, turning it into an *integer* operation, like this:
+
+ xorl 2147483648, [mem+4] ## 2147483648 = (1 << 31)
+
+you could also use xorb, but xorl is less likely to lead to a partial register
+stall. Here is a contrived testcase:
+
+double a, b, c;
+void test(double *P) {
+ double X = *P;
+ a = X;
+ bar();
+ X = -X;
+ b = X;
+ bar();
+ c = X;
+}
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+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.
+
+int x(int a, int b) {
+ long long prod = (long long)a*b;
+ return prod > 0x7FFFFFFF || prod < (-0x7FFFFFFF-1);
+}
+
+See PR2053 for more details.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+We should investigate using cdq/ctld (effect: edx = sar eax, 31)
+more aggressively; it should cost the same as a move+shift on any modern
+processor, but it's a lot shorter. Downside is that it puts more
+pressure on register allocation because it has fixed operands.
+
+Example:
+int abs(int x) {return x < 0 ? -x : x;}
+
+gcc compiles this to the following when using march/mtune=pentium2/3/4/m/etc.:
+abs:
+ movl 4(%esp), %eax
+ cltd
+ xorl %edx, %eax
+ subl %edx, %eax
+ ret
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+Consider:
+int test(unsigned long a, unsigned long b) { return -(a < b); }
+
+We currently compile this to:
+
+define i32 @test(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind {
+ %tmp3 = icmp ult i32 %a, %b ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+ %tmp34 = zext i1 %tmp3 to i32 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %tmp5 = sub i32 0, %tmp34 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ ret i32 %tmp5
+}
+
+and
+
+_test:
+ movl 8(%esp), %eax
+ cmpl %eax, 4(%esp)
+ setb %al
+ movzbl %al, %eax
+ negl %eax
+ ret
+
+Several deficiencies here. First, we should instcombine zext+neg into sext:
+
+define i32 @test2(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind {
+ %tmp3 = icmp ult i32 %a, %b ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+ %tmp34 = sext i1 %tmp3 to i32 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ ret i32 %tmp34
+}
+
+However, before we can do that, we have to fix the bad codegen that we get for
+sext from bool:
+
+_test2:
+ movl 8(%esp), %eax
+ cmpl %eax, 4(%esp)
+ setb %al
+ movzbl %al, %eax
+ shll $31, %eax
+ sarl $31, %eax
+ ret
+
+This code should be at least as good as the code above. Once this is fixed, we
+can optimize this specific case even more to:
+
+ movl 8(%esp), %eax
+ xorl %ecx, %ecx
+ cmpl %eax, 4(%esp)
+ sbbl %ecx, %ecx
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+Take the following code (from
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16541):
+
+extern unsigned char first_one[65536];
+int FirstOnet(unsigned long long arg1)
+{
+ if (arg1 >> 48)
+ return (first_one[arg1 >> 48]);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+
+The following code is currently generated:
+FirstOnet:
+ movl 8(%esp), %eax
+ cmpl $65536, %eax
+ movl 4(%esp), %ecx
+ jb .LBB1_2 # UnifiedReturnBlock
+.LBB1_1: # ifthen
+ shrl $16, %eax
+ movzbl first_one(%eax), %eax
+ ret
+.LBB1_2: # UnifiedReturnBlock
+ xorl %eax, %eax
+ ret
+
+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.
+

+
+We compile this function:

+
+Rather than spilling the result of the last addsd in the loop, we should have
+insert a copy to split the interval (one for the duration of the loop, one
+extending to the fall through). The register pressure in the loop isn't high
+enough to warrant the spill.
+
+Also check why xmm7 is not used at all in the function.

+instructions on X86. This may be a trivial dag combine (GCC PR7061):
+
+struct s1 { unsigned char a, b; };
+unsigned long f1(struct s1 x) {
+ return x.a + x.b;
+}
+struct s2 { unsigned a: 8, b: 8; };
+unsigned long f2(struct s2 x) {
+ return x.a + x.b;
+}
