[CodeGen][RegAllocFast] Add MRI delegate callback to notify VReg spill
AbandonedPublic

Summary

Add a callback to notify targets whenever a virtual register is
spilled/restored during fast regalloc. The physical register is
directly spilled in case of RegAllocFast and targets sometimes
need to track the spills for certain virtual registers involved
in special operations.

Also, used cloneVirtualRegister in LiveIntervals while cloning
a virtual register.

Hi,

The LiveIntervals and LiveRangeEdit changes make sense to me (though in practice they are NFC.)

However, I'm not a fan of the MachineRegisterInfo change. Since it sounds like you need that field only for fast regalloc, could you do something specifically in that pass/with the related target hooks in that pass?

Cheers,

The alternative would be to pass the flags as an argument to the target hooks storeRegToStackSlot & loadRegFromStackSlot which are common to both fast regalloc and greedy.

Added a new delegate callback to notify targets whenever a virtual register is spilled/restored during RegAllocFast.

Removed the enum class DelegateReceiver and changed the code to notify all delegates when an event occurs.

Rebase after recent changes in D134950.

LGTM.

Nit: we may want to have two different events for spill and reload. But I'm fine keeping this as is for now if that is enough for your needs.

I assume TheDelegates are pointers, so const X *TheDelegate?

Is the clone still strictly necessary for this patch?

Yes, they are pointers, will use *

Not necessarily in the same patch. They are basically needed to notify the targets when the RegAllocFast clone registers (for AMDGPU they are needed to propagate the vreg flags). They are included in the earlier patch where the VRegFlags are added directly in the MachineRegisterInfo file.

Used auto *Delegate in the range-based loop.

D138656 handled it better and hence abanding it.
