[RISCV 15/n] Implement lowering of ISD::SELECT
ClosedPublic

Authored by asb on Feb 14 2017, 5:47 AM.

Details

Summary

There's nothing particular novel here, every backend without a conditional move has something similar to the custom inserter for SELECT_CC. Some backends try to use a mix of tablegen patterns and C++ code, for instance to deal with the condition code. I feel it's simpler when just handled in RISCVTargetLowering.

Although ISD::SELECT_CC is a more natural match for RISCVISD::SELECT_CC (and
ultimately the integer RISC-V conditional branch instructions), we choose to
expand ISD::SELECT_CC and lower ISD::SELECT. The appropriate compare+branch
will be created in the case where an ISD::SELECT condition value is created by
an ISD::SETCC node, which operates on XLen types. Other datatypes such as
floating point don't have conditional branch instructions, and lowering
ISD::SELECT allows more flexibility for handling these cases.

A better name here would be more clear, maybe FallthroughMBB?

171

Extracting this switch out as a helper function or lambda would aid readability. getBranchOpcodeForSetCCOpcode?

203

Yuck. Please just use the names and don't update a variable in place. This is just confusing.

205

Didn't you already do this above?

209

Hm, as written, isn't this basically making a static prediction the true value is common? Is there profiling available on the SETCC instruction?

Please expand your test to cover the whole diamond.

Hi Philip, many many thanks for the review - this code has been copied around several backends, and we can certainly do better (patches for those backends to follow!). This is exactly the sort of thing I'm trying to avoid with this backend project, so I really appreciate you calling it this case where the code fell short. The code comment was incorrect to say a diamond control flow pattern is being inserted, as it's actually just a triangle. Hopefully the Head/IfFalse/Tail names make more sense. I've made normaliseSetCC a separate helper function in addition to your suggested CondCode->BranchOpcode helper (this felt sensible, given getBranchOpcodeForIntCondCode expects its argument has been normalised in this way).

I believe MachineBlockPlacement should handle this. RISC-V compilers should assume a forward branch is predicted not-taken, so the assumption would actually be the false path is the common case.

The comment was incorrect, we're actually inserting a triangle (though as you point out, the confusing variable naming makes it really hard to see what is going on!)

Much, much cleaner. Thanks!

LGTM if you want to land as is, but you might consider waiting for one other review. I'm not super familiar with the tablegen and customer inserter stuff, so I may have missed something.

You might want to be consistent in code standard in the file and put the default case as the top one like done above.

Update to put the 'default:' case first in a switch (thanks @apazos).

This minor revision of the patch switches to lowering ISD::SELECT. This is motivated by future support for the floating point instruction set extensions and the coarse-grained nature of setOperationAction. See the updated patch description and new code comments for more discussion, but essentially we need to ensure that a RISC-V compare+branch instruction is generated whenever the comparison is between two XLEN integers.

I noticed that the select-cc.ll test didn't cover this code.
This little snip with the correct matching pattern should cover it.
...

%val20 = select i1 %tst10, i32 %val18, i32 %val19

%tr3 = trunc i32 %val3 to i1
%val21 = select i1 %tr3, i32 %val20, i32 %val19

ret i32 %val21

Could we use a 'switch(MI.getOpcode())' here and assert on an unhandled opcode if it occurs. I suspect other pseudos may require a custom inserter in the future.

Adds a bare-select.ll test case, ensuring all code paths in lowerSELECT are tested.

Well spotted, I've moved the bare-select.ll test from D29938 in to this patch to ensure the code path is exercised.

Future patches move to doing this. For previous patches, reviewers have asked to not have single-element switches. I don't have a particularly strong view either way. The single-element switch minimises the diff in the future patches and is easier to extend, but has the disadvantage of looking a little odd.

This looks ready to merge. Can we have this in today?
