[AVR] Mark call-clobbered registers as clobbered in interrupt handlers
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

I have matched the RISCV backend, which only uses the interrupt save
list in getCalleeSavedRegs, _not_ in getCallPreservedMask. I don't know
the details of these two methods, but with it, the correct amount of
registers is saved and restored.

Without this patch, practically all interrupt handlers that call a
function will miscompile.

I have added a test to verify this behavior. I've also added a very
simple test to verify that more normal interrupt operations (in this
case, incrementing a global value) behave as expected.

Forgot the colon in CHECK-NEXT

Fixed missing semicolons in test

Generally speaking, I am OK with this patch. Just one suggestion, run llvm/utils/update_llc_test_checks.py against the test case llvm/test/CodeGen/AVR/interrupts.ll

Would it be better to add an option -verify-machineinstrs ?

Why this is a CHECK not a CHECK-NEXT ? Would it be better to show all auto generated assembly ?

Just one suggestion, run llvm/utils/update_llc_test_checks.py against the test case llvm/test/CodeGen/AVR/interrupts.ll

I think it is better to not do this for this test. With update_llc_test_checks.py, all the register names would be hidden. But the register names (r0, r1, etc) are an important part of this test.

Not sure. I've looked at other targets and most have it only on a small subset of tests.
If you want to enable the machine verifier, you can build LLVM with -DLLVM_ENABLE_EXPENSIVE_CHECKS=True or you can run llvm-lit manually, in my case:

../llvm-build.main/bin/llvm-lit -Dllc="llc -verify-machineinstrs" -sv llvm/test/CodeGen/AVR/

I usually use the above command to check for verification issues. This is how I found many issues that I fixed over several patches (see D107853#3224989).

That gets conformed with avr-gcc's behaviour on handling interrupt/signal service functions.

For the following C code

#include <avr/interrupt.h>
void foo(void);
SIGNAL(_VECTOR(1)) { foo(); }

avr-gcc generates the following asm, which is conformed with your patch.

        .file   "a.c"
__SP_H__ = 0x3e
__SP_L__ = 0x3d
__SREG__ = 0x3f
__tmp_reg__ = 0
__zero_reg__ = 1
        .text
.global __vector_1
        .type   __vector_1, @function
__vector_1:
        push r1
        push r0
        in r0,__SREG__
        push r0
        clr __zero_reg__
        push r18
        push r19
        push r20
        push r21
        push r22
        push r23
        push r24
        push r25
        push r26
        push r27
        push r30
        push r31
/* prologue: Signal */

.L__stack_usage = 15
        call foo
