[ARM] Reverse PostRASched subtarget feature logic

[samparker]

Summary

Replace the UsePostRAScheduler SubtargetFeature with DisablePostRAScheduler, which is then used by Swift and Cyclone. This patch maintains enabling PostRA scheduling for other Thumb2 capable cores and/or for functions which are being compiled in ARM mode.

Thanks Sam! I think this should be in line with Matthias's comments in a previous review, but I think it would be good if he could have another quick look.

Lots of unrelated whitespace changes. I think @javed.absar submitted a change recently to aligned all Processors model fields consistently.

lib/Target/ARM/ARMSubtarget.cpp

362

Convention seems to be using a "getter" functions to access properties.

364

Is PostRAScheduler still defined in some models? If so, I think we should remove those references, as they would be misleading IMO

[samparker]

Thanks Florian. I've removed my white space changes and introduced a customary getter function. I've also removed the PostRAScheduler flag from the Cortex-R52 model.

cheers,
sam

may be add an explicit comment on why we choose to do this

'Because the gods of old said so.' Honestly, I'm really not sure of the reason and the logic seems odd to me. Unfortunately a lot of tests rely on this behaviour and its not something that I want to look into at the moment.

I think it is because of IT block - we don't want PostRA to mess it up.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks!

[MatzeB]

Thanks for looking into this again. This is indeed better. Did you choose the "negative" DisablePostRAScheduler feature over a "positive" FeaturePostRAScheduler just so it's less lines needed in the .td file? The positive variant seems slightly user friendlier and in line with aarch64 to me, even though it means adding the flag to every processor variant except for swift and cyclone.

Either way this is an improvement and should go in, LGTM.

lib/Target/ARM/ARMSubtarget.cpp

I don't know if that is the original reason / motivation for it. But indeed the machine scheduler was not prepared/had bugs when dealing with instruction bundles last time I looked and so would probably fail on IT blocks.

[samparker]

Hi Matthias,

The reason for the inverse logic is because the decision isn't just based upon the CPU, but also the current mode. For the old CPUs, the post-RA scheduler should be used when compiling a function in arm mode, but not when in thumb mode because they only support Thumb1. I wanted to predicate on the Thumb2 capability, but then I would of still needed something else for cyclone and swift.

Thanks for the review,
sam
