[PowerPC] Optimize TLS initial-exec sequence to use X-Form loads/stores
ClosedPublic

Authored by syzaara on Feb 14 2018, 2:13 PM.

Details

Summary

The TLS sequence for the initial exec access mode currently generates:

addis 4, 2, var_int@got@tprel@ha
ld 4, var_int@got@tprel@l(4)
add 4, 4, var_int@tls
lwz 5, 0(4)

The d-form load can be changed into an x-form load if we check that the input is coming from a special tls add instruction.

addis 3, 2, var_int@got@tprel@ha
ld 3, var_int@got@tprel@l(3)
lwzx 3, 3, var_int@tls

This patch adds new load/store instructions for integer scalar types and selects these instructions when an ISD::LOAD/STORE is fed by PPCISD::ADD_TLS.

Please don't forget the diff context (that is missing with this patch).

Add a comment describing what these functions do.

I find this name a little un-intuitive. Seems a little odd to use "output" with a store. Perhaps it might be clearer if the two types were MemVT and RegVT?

587

This is unnecessarily nested. Please change this to an early exit if != PPCISD::ADD_TLS. Same for the load case below.

This looks like it'll fit on the line above just fine. Perhaps run clang-format on this part of the patch.

lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCInstr64Bit.td

Formatting issue on all these defs - the " should go under the 3.

523

Why are these marked as cracked instructions?
