[AArch64] [ARM] Make a target-independent llvm.thread.pointer intrinsic.
ClosedPublic

Authored by koriakin on Apr 14 2016, 1:06 AM.

Details

Summary

Both AArch64 and ARM support llvm.<arch>.thread.pointer intrinsics that
just return the thread pointer. I have a pending patch that does the same
for SystemZ (D19054), and there are many more targets that could benefit
from one.

This patch merges the ARM and AArch64 intrinsics into a single target
independent one that will also be used by subsequent targets.

This breaks a clang test (that checks for llvm.aarch64.thread.pointer),
which will be fixed in another change. clang itself requires no modification,
thanks to GCCBuiltin.

I think you also need to auto-upgrade (lib/IR/AutoUpgrade.cpp) the old intrinsics to the new one.

Done.

Seems reasonable to me, but I think it'd make more sense to test the autoupgrade separately. What about an llvm-as|llvm-dis test in test/Assembler?

Rename the file to something like autoupgrade-thread-pointer.ll ?

I think you can remove the codegen tests with the old intrinsics now.

Thanks, now waiting for acceptance of the corresponding clang patch (D19099).

Should this intrinsic get documented in the langref?

Sounds like a good plan, I'll throw it in to Code Generator Intrinsics.

Now includes documentation in langref.

Thanks David & Marcin! Langref LGTM as well.
