Summary

The SELR(Mux) instructions can be converted to two-address form as LOCR(Mux) instructions whenever one of the sources are the same reg as dest. By adding this mapping in getTwoOperandOpcode(), we get:

  • Two address hints in getRegAllocationHints() for select register instructions.
  • No effect in foldMemoryOperandImpl() as the select register instructions do not have a memory mapped instructions. This is possibly a potential improvement to be utilized as is currently done for the K (3-address) instructions.
  • no need for special handling in SystemZShortenInst.cpp - shortenSelect() removed.

It seems that there is yet another part of the "high-muxes patch" that never got committed separately, namely the moving of the handling of two-address hints to be done before the GRX32 hints, in getRegAllocationHints(), which this patch also does.

Number of spill instructions go up just a little in total:

master <> patch
Spill|Reload   :               187260               187339      +79
Copies         :               414305               414303       -2

This seems to be small enough to be considered random. It seems that the number of spilled live ranges in total are very slightly less, while the number of instructions emitted for spill/restore are very slightly more... I could not find any reason to suspect anything in particular with the test cases I tried to examine, and it should hopefully not be bad to hint (softly) a two-address register.

738 files are different.

What is the effect of this part?

It seems that there is yet another part of the "high-muxes patch" that never got committed separately, namely the moving of the handling of two-address hints to be done before the GRX32 hints, in getRegAllocationHints(), which this patch also does.

In any case, this should better be done as a separate commit.

no need for special handling in SystemZShortenInst.cpp - shortenSelect() removed.

Do those really never match again now? But I agree it would be nice to remove those if possible.

I'd prefer to move this into CondBinaryRRF itself, so that it matches CondBinaryRRFPseudo again.

Likewise for CondBinaryRRFa.

The effect of applying just the change in getRegAllocationHints() to move the 2-address hints above GRX32 hints is on SPEC 2006 / z15:

It seems that some two-address hints now are passed for instructions that use the same regs as a SELRMux, so there are more AHI:s and less AHIK:s. By chance - since we are not handling the SELRMux instructions here - we also get a few more SELR:s and a few less LOCR:s.

I could pre-commit this, or we could perhaps do benchmarking on the full patch (I see some mixed minor variations in my own runs).

no need for special handling in SystemZShortenInst.cpp - shortenSelect() removed.

Do those really never match again now? But I agree it would be nice to remove those if possible.

I checked it once on 2006 and it was NFC to remove them. shortenSelect() changes opcode and ties the operands if it can - using commuteInstruction() if helpful - and this is exactly what the default handling for a TwoOperandOpcode does as well.
