[PowerPC] Eliminate compares - add handling for logical operations without the use of condition registers
ClosedPublic

Authored by nemanjai on Apr 8 2017, 10:16 AM.

Details

Summary

This adds the code gen and testing for logical operations on i1 values without using condition registers (when possible).
It handles:

  • logical operations with SETCC inputs
  • logical operations with TRUNCATE inputs
  • logical operations with logical operations as inputs
  • zero extensions of logical operations on i1 values (as above)

These two variables were erroneously left in after I refactored the code to not need them. They'll be removed on the commit.

This is a significantly scoped-down version of this patch to make it more manageable for review. It simply extends the use of the existing handling of ISD::SETCC in GPRs to their uses in logic operations (AND/OR/XOR).

Furthermore, this adds a restriction to the SETCC handling to only perform the expansion if all the uses need the value in a GPR since doing the expansion in such a situation would be a net addition of instructions without being able to eliminate the compare instruction.

A few inline comments, a couple of refactorings and some cleanup, otherwise looks OK.

One other comment: This is starting to feel like we're doing all of isel in C++ in the backend. I'd like to look at being able to do as much of this in generic code as possible. Perhaps take a look and see what we can manage that way and a comment at some point before all of this in the source?

Thanks!

Comment?

bool operand :)

The naming convention here is a little hard to parse later on. I'm seeing IsNot as !a and not a ^ -1...

2610

Maybe call them LHS and RHS? :)

Needs the same commentary as the previous patch.

Description?

This should probably be an earlier return before you do the work above?

fallthrough?

Ah good catch. I missed that. Thanks.

Addressed comments to add some documentation, remove a bool parameter and add the missing break in the switch.

Part of asking for the enum is wondering why it's necessary. It seems odd to say "getLogicOpInGPR" to want to know whether or not to put something in a GPR.

That's a good point. Perhaps the naming is a poor choice. I could rename it to performLogicOpInGPR().
The idea would be to convey the fact that this simply defers moving the data out of a GPR. What it does is take something like:
(and (i1 (setcc %a, %b, CC), (setcc %c, %d, CC2))) and convert it to a sequence that does the comparisons and the logical operation in a GPR.
That of course still leaves the question of whether we want the result of the logical operation itself to stay in a GPR (for further extended operations) or to be moved out to a CR (for use in branches, ISEL, etc.).

So I think maybe renaming the function and/or providing a clearer comment as to what's happening might be the right choice here. What do you think?

I'd probably just separate out the performLogicOptInGPR and then just add code where you'd pass the bool argument to pull it into a CR if you need it after the call?

This revision does away with the Boolean parameter to getLogicOpInGPR and adds the logic to extract the CR result at the only call of that function that needs it.
Furthermore, this patch eliminates bitwise negations if they're produced by instructions that have a record-form.

Maybe "computeLogicOpInGPR"?

2701–2703

I think you mean "single bit" rather than "CR bit" at least I'm reading it that way rather than in a cc register right?

Will do.

2701–2703

We have produced a record-form machine node above. The code immediately after this comment actually gets a single bit out of CR0 (which was set by the record-form op) and selects this logical operation to that bit. So it is a single bit, but it is in a CR - CR0 to be specific.
Perhaps it is clearer if I set the comment to this:

// Select this node to a single bit from CR0 set by the record-form node
// just created. For bitwise negation, use the EQ bit which is the equivalent
// of negating the result (i.e. it is a bit set when the result of the operation
// is zero).

Address cosmetic comments - name change and line comment.

SGTM. It still seems a bit overly complicated, but I don't think there's anything for it at the moment.

SGTM.
