[RISCV] Implement assembler support for XVentanaCondOps
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This change provides an implementation of the XVentanaCondOps vendor extension. This extension is defined in version 1.0.0 of the VTx-family custom instructions specification (https://github.com/ventanamicro/ventana-custom-extensions/releases/download/v1.0.0/ventana-custom-extensions-v1.0.0.pdf) by Ventana Micro Systems.

This change is intended to be a test case for our vendor extension policy. I believe this to be a case we clearly should accept, but it gives us an opportunity to discuss and set precedent on various policy and naming questions. (I will comment on the review to highlight questions I think are worth discussion.)

I intent to bring this up at the next RISCV sync call, and ensure we have consensus. Once this lands, I plan to use this extension to prototype selection lowering to conditional moves. There's an RVI proposal in flight, and the expectation is that lowering to these and the new RVI instructions is likely to be substantially similar.

Naming wise, is xventanacondops what we want this called? The toolchain docs linked are a bit ambiguous on this point. They seem to be saying that the extension should maybe be xvtcondops. But that's not what the spec uses, not what we tend to use in discussion, and not what is being discussed for binutils.

This patch only includes positive tests for riscv64. Per the current specification, no rv32 chips have shipped with this feature. I chose not to actually reject the flags or elf settings for riscv32, but to not enable the assembler either.

What do we think is the right answer here? Should we accept the riscv32 forms? This would essentially be an LLVM extension. Should we explicitly error on the riscv32 form? Something else?

Anything else we want in the documentation? Remember, we're setting precedent here.

How do we want to manage td files for vendor extensions?

I put them inline - which is probably not the right answer. I'm leaning towards a vendor specific td file with extensions split out if complexity justifies it. So, this patch would add a RISCVInstInfoXVentana.td.

Is that the precedent we want here?

qemu seems to have also used xventanacondops.

It's not quite conditional move. It's conditional move or zero right? Might be better just says "Ops" or "Operations" instead of "Move".

Since the string here is used for .insn parsing, I think it should be CUSTOM_3. I'm not sure why we don't already have all 4 added.

Do these need their own DecoderNameSpace?

What is a decoder namespace? Some quick grepping and googling isn't very informative.

If another vendor also uses these opcodes for something else, I think we would need to partition the disassembler tables.

Some existing examples

RISCVInstrInfoC.td
330:let DecoderNamespace = "RISCV32Only_",
364:let DecoderNamespace = "RISCV32Only_",
409:    DecoderNamespace = "RISCV32Only_", Defs = [X1],
517:let DecoderNamespace = "RISCV32Only_",
577:let DecoderNamespace = "RISCV32Only_",

RISCVDisassembler::getInstruction checks some subtarget bits to select different tables where there are conflicts.

I was going to come here to request that

Add a decoder namespace.

I did one per vendor - i.e. used a Ventana table rather than a VentanaCondOps one. In theory, we could have a vendor who ships incompatible extensions (in two different pieces of hardware), but if we hit that case, we can adjust later. Or at least, I think we can? This is new to me.

Typo, should be "Trying Ventana..."

I would suggest put into RISCVInstInfoXVentana.td instead of inline here, I could imagine once this get merged, T-head extensions might try to upstream too, so put into separated now could prevent they reference this commit and try to inline their extensions IMO :)

Does the - here mean something?

I don't think we need to this applied to the class and the instantatiations of the class. I think you can drop the curly braces and only apply it to the class.
