[x86][SLH] Rm liveness check from data invariance check
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

SLH had two functions named isDataInvariant and isDataInvariantLoad that
checked whether the passed instruction was data invariant. For some instructions,
if the EFLAGS were dead then they were considered data invariant, otherwise
they were not considered data invariant.

In this patch, I extracted that EFLAGS liveness check and made it
explicit at every call to isDataInvariant and isDataInvariantLoad.
This makes the isDataInvariant function behave more generally
and preserves the liveness check behavior that SLH would like to have.

Tested via llvm-lit llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/speculative-load-hardening*

This is the first step in making these two data invariance checks
available for non-SLH passes. The second step is to move the passes from
SLH to X86InstrInfo.cpp. I'll follow up with a patch that does that.

[x86][SLH] Update commit message for clarity

I was waiting for input from Chandler, but in the absence of that (one month later >_>), I see that this is NFC, and you are really working to make isDataInvariant(Load) shared with other passes. This seems like a step in that direction, and it all makes sense. I think you can go ahead and land this.

Rebased and tested. No change to the code.

Uh dang. I messed this up. I'm going to close this and make a new change that only removes the liveness check.

Hm, I'm not sure which parentheses you mean. On my scan, I don't see any extras.

Welp, I actually did mess this up. See this for the fix: https://reviews.llvm.org/D75650 Fortunately, it's a NFC to fix the mess up, that is, the code works correctly either way.
