[ARM] Fix PR35481
ClosedPublic

Authored by chill on Dec 7 2017, 8:34 AM.

Details

Summary

The issue is when restoring LR when there are no available low registers after popping the callee-saves and we try to find a temporary register before the pop. In the testcase, we are in front of a pop {r7}, however r7 is not in the pop-friendly set (since it's used as a frame pointer), whereas the code assumes that at least one register in the pop is in that set.

This patch allows r7 to be used, regardless of its use as a frame pointer, and also just falls back to using a high register if, for some reason,
we weren't able to find a suitable temporary reg among the popped ones.

If you want exactly the set r0...r7, shouldn't you just set that, rather than getting the set of allocatable registers and adding back specific registers? That would simplify the code a bit because findTemporariesForLR would be guaranteed to succeed.

I'd prefer to not depend (or depends less) on which registers are considered allocatable and contain this decision in ARMBaseRegisterInfo::getReservedRegs - to deal with platform specific conventions, possible future options like GCC's -ffixed-reg-N, etc.
That said, I'd like to add back in a similar manner r6/BasePtr.

I wasn't able to produce a testcase which would take advantage of having a reserved r6 in that set, so I'll
leave it as is.
