[PPC][GlobalISel] Add initial GlobalIsel infrastructure
ClosedPublic

Authored by kbarton on Jul 2 2020, 3:28 PM.

Details

Summary

This adds the initial GlobalISel skeleton for PowerPC. It can only run
ir-translator and legalizer for ret void.

This is largely based on the initial GlobalISel patch for RISCV
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D65219).

These should be const?

I'm pretty sure you don't need these and all the other places that override this are dead code

Add const to all parameters of createPPCInstructionSelector.

Refreshing diff

I had some problems refreshing the patch using arcanist. I *think* I have fixed everything now, but if things look odd please let me know.

Yup, thanks for catching this. Fixed.

llvm/lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCInstructionSelector.cpp
39 ↗(On Diff #275251)

I don't follow this.
Both select and getName seem to be required - getName is needed by the base InstructionSelector implementation in GlobalISel; select is needed by the PPCGenGlobalISel.inc file generated below.

It is entirely possible I'm doing something incorrect though. Could you explain some more?

AArch64 has a sub-directory for GlobalISel related things:

Why not do "return VRegs.empty()"? You can add a comment if it needs readability.

May be ppc-gisel better?

Legalizer or register banks?

Oh right, this isn't the direct pass. I think manual getName overrides are dead code on passes and set by the INITIALIZE_PASS* macros

I like this idea. I will do the refactoring in a subsequent commit and update the patch, so if others do not like it it's easy to undo.

llvm/lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCInstructionSelector.cpp
23 ↗(On Diff #275412)

Yes, this is a better idea. Will change it.

39 ↗(On Diff #275251)

Yes, that could be. I haven't looked at the implementation for how it works on passes.

Are you OK marking this as done?

llvm/lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCLegalizerInfo.h
21 ↗(On Diff #275412)

Good catch. Updated to legalizer.

I don't particularly like the AArch64 split. There isn't an entirely clean break between globalisel parts and the rest of the backend. The other target subdirectories are used for places where there's a separate library

  • Put all new GlobalISel related files into new GISel subdirectory.

Pardon my cmake, but don't you need a CMakeLists.txt in the GISel sub-directory?

Pardon my cmake, but don't you need a CMakeLists.txt in the GISel sub-directory?

I thought I would too, but I added GISel/ prefix to the CMake in the PowerPC directory, which works.
This is the way it was done in the Aarch64 patch that did the refactoring.

That said, I am by no means a cmake expert, so if having a separate CMakeLists.txt file in the GISel directory is "better", I can add one there also.

It's not a separate library, so it's not better. Things are not layered to make this possible

Fix warnings from clang-tidy and clang-format and rebase to latest version of master.

InlineAsmLowering is another boilerplate field, but you can also leave that for later

Don't need -global-isel if directly running MIR passes
