Summary

Looking at D49861 Roman discovered that we don't have MCA tests for XCHG* instrs. This patch fixes this issue.

http://felixcloutier.com/x86/XCHG.html suggests that memory operand can be on either side,
so this needs to be repeated with swapped order.

In fact I checked it but decided not to include in the test because this test is not about syntax. But if you insist I'll extend the test. Is it enough to include the check in one test file only? I mean that I'd like to check this syntax construction for one cpu, OK? Or you'd like to see it inside all 10 files?

I agree. But the existing tests are doing exhaustive coverage - e.g. see sub, add.

Or you'd like to see it inside all 10 files?

All these generic files should be identical other than the CPU specified in run line.
One can argue that it is a bad design, to have to duplicate the tests for every CPU.
But this is what it is...

So yes, all of them, please.

I updated the tests accordingly to Roman's request.

Thank you for adding this test coverage.
It looks about right to me, but i don't have enough expirience with these MCA tests to accept this.

I don't think only byte ops have special case AL instructions? It's just ax/eax/rax according to APMv3

676–677

Do they actually have different encodings? I just thought they were commutable in the assembly but would generate the same encoding - @craig.topper do you know?

Please can you add XADD tests as well

Don't use AL/AX/EAX/RAX as explicit ops - they are implicitly referenced by in the instruction

233

cmpxchg8b/cmpxchg16b tests were added at rL338595 (in their own file) - please remove them from this patch

676–677

According to X86InstrInfo.td:

// xchg: We accept "xchgX <reg>, <mem>" and "xchgX <mem>, <reg>" as synonyms.
def : InstAlias<"xchg{b}\t{$mem, $val|$val, $mem}",
                (XCHG8rm  GR8 :$val, i8mem :$mem), 0>;
def : InstAlias<"xchg{w}\t{$mem, $val|$val, $mem}",
                (XCHG16rm GR16:$val, i16mem:$mem), 0>;
def : InstAlias<"xchg{l}\t{$mem, $val|$val, $mem}",
                (XCHG32rm GR32:$val, i32mem:$mem), 0>;
def : InstAlias<"xchg{q}\t{$mem, $val|$val, $mem}",
                (XCHG64rm GR64:$val, i64mem:$mem), 0>;

So we shouldn't need the commuted variants.

Yeah its just a parser trick. The encoding is the same.

It seems it deos not work:

cmpxchgb %bl
^
<stdin>:226:10: error: invalid operand for instruction
cmpxchgb (%rbx)

^~~~~~

cmpxchgw %bx

The new tests were updated, xadd* tests were added.

This triple is 64-bit - use 64-bit pointers (%rbx).

No, I mean the instruction implicitly uses the RAX register - use different registers to make the instruction more realistic.

APM V3:

Compares the value in the AL, AX, EAX, or RAX register with the value in a register or a memory location (first operand). If the two values are equal, the instruction copies the value in the second operand to the first operand and sets the ZF flag in the rFLAGS register to 1. Otherwise, it copies the value in the first operand to the AL, AX, EAX, or RAX register and clears the ZF flag to 0.

This triple is 64-bit - use 64-bit pointers (%rbx).

avt77 retitled this revision from [X86] MCA tests for XCHG* and CMPXCHG* instructions to [X86] MCA tests for XCHG*, XADD* and CMPXCHG* instructions.

All last requirements were fixed.
