[X86] Fixup LEAs - Fix inconsistent codegen with/without debug info
AcceptedPublic

Details

Summary

The function processInstrForSlow3OpLEA() contains a register liveness check in isSafeToClobberEFLAGS() which calls computeRegisterLiveness().

computeRegisterLiveness() will not be able to verify that a register is fully dead if the basic block has debug instructions at the start.

This patch fixes computeRegisterLiveness() for this case, which re-enables the optimization.

Does this skip one instruction more than before unconditionally or am I just misinterpreting the --I?

Corrected fix to avoid unconditionally moving I backwards by one instruction. Updated computeRegisterLiveness() to ignore meta instructions, not just debug instructions.

I'm still somewhat confused by this line. Why are you skipping over the instruction *before* I here, but then check I (and not std::prev(I)) in the next line?

Please remove all non-essential attributes. Also, if you can find any way to reduce this testcase, that would also be highly appreciated. It probably doesn't needs to be quite as long.

This is due to the way skipMetaInstructionsBackward() is implemented, it performs a meta check on the provided instruction and decrements backwards if the check succeeds. After we exit the preceding while loop (if we took it) we are either at begin() or a non-meta instruction, so to attempt to skip any earlier potential meta instructions we must look one instr back (which should be alright since we've already checked that we aren't at begin() in the if). skipMetaInstructionsBackward() will either return the first non-meta instruction if finds or begin(), even if begin() is a meta. Since we assign it to I it should still be alright to check I in succeeding if.

Hope that's sufficient info! Let me know if there's anything I didn't explain clearly enough :)

How would you recommend trying to reduce this test case?

Is this still needed?

Ping. This still does look relevant. Anyone feels like committing this?

I think this patch needs to be rebased. There have been changes in MachineBasicBlock::computeRegisterLiveness
