[ARM] Add v4f16 and v8f16 types to the CallingConv
ClosedPublic

Authored by dnsampaio on Apr 15 2019, 10:00 AM.

Details

Summary

The Procedure Call Standard for the Arm Architecture
states that float16x4_t and float16x8_t behave just
as uint16x4_t and uint16x8_t for argument passing.
This patch adds the fp16 vectors to the
ARMCallingConv.td file.

This is only testing the soft-float calling convention, we should also test hard-float. We should also cover multiple vector arguments, including enough arguments that some must be passed on the stack.

Tests updated

  • Added:
    • hard-float calling convention
    • bit-endian tests to be activated by D60618

This test is labelled as hard-float, but is passing the vector argument in GPRs. I suspect that this is because the APCS calling convention doesn't support hard-float. Actually, i think you could remove all of the tests for APCS to simplify this file, because it's a very old calling convention, which was superseded by AAPCS a long time ago, and it's unlikely to ever be used with v8.2A.

@dnsampaio @ostannard This introduces duplicate v4f16/v8f16 types which is causing PVS Studio warnings:

ARMGenCallingConv.inc	63	err	V501 There are identical sub-expressions 'LocVT == MVT::v4f16' to the left and to the right of the '||' operator.

Thanks @RKSimon, will remove the 8 duplicates.
