[AIX] Implement by-val caller arguments in a single register
ClosedPublic

Authored by cebowleratibm on Mar 9 2020, 10:19 AM.

Details

Summary

This is the first of a series of patches that adds caller support for by-value arguments that are passed in a single GPR.

There are 3 limitation cases:
-The by-value argument is larger than a single register.
-There are no remaining GPRs even though the by-value argument would otherwise fit in a single GPR.
-The by-value argument requires alignment greater than register width.

Future patches will be required to add support for these cases as well as for the callee handling (in LowerFormalArguments_AIX) that corresponds to this work.

To reviewers, I thought I had a bug that we may choose a PowerOf2Floor that's larger than a register. This will be a bug, however, for the time being, we're only processing ByValSize <= PtrByteSize.

This test is already ridiculously big, I suggest we add these changes into a new test file instead.

IIUC EXTLOAD is safe for the first load because it will be left justified in the register after the shift, but the later loads need the upper bits defined to zero because we are ORing them into those shifted bits.

  1. Split byval cc tests into a separate file.
  2. Use ZEXTLOAD

Good catch. Using ZEXTLOAD improved the codegen to use rotate/mask inserts to assemble the byval in register. See the test updates on the next revision.

-Use ZEXTLOAD rather than EXTLOAD. This changed expected output because we're able to use rotate left word immediate with mask form instructions.
-Split byval cc tests into new test files.

I missed the run commands. Need to add them and update review.

I'm curious as to what happens with 0 sized parameter, will they need special handling like they do on the callee side or do they need to be skipped?

Caught by the automatic testing bots, this test doesn't have a RUN step.

looks like a git artifact here

Added the missing run steps to aix-cc-byval.ll

-Add CC_AIX logic to pass over 0 size by-val arguments.
-Tidy the by val tests added.
-Some expected output changes required in aix-cc-byval.ll related to use of ZEXTLOAD now that I've added the run step.

We should skip 0 size by-val arguments in CC_AIX and assert non-zero by-val size here.

cebowleratibm marked an inline comment as done.

-Added skipping of 0 size by val args.
-Tidied up tests.

I don't think we need an assertion like this: CCValAssign is either a RegLoc or a MemLoc. by the class construction. Its not possible to create an object with both of these false. If the class design ever changes such that there are other options then we can add an assertion then.

7155

Why the name PaddingInBits? Isn't this is the shift size to justify the bytes just loaded, where does padding come in?

7161

Could we do a larger load if the alignment is greater then the size? For example if we have a size of 7 and a type alignment of 1, but the argument is an auto local and the compiler increase the alignment to 8. I don't suggest making any such changes to this patch if it allowed, but something to consider once we have everything working.

suggestion:
Move the load over --> Adjust the load offset

llvm/test/CodeGen/PowerPC/aix-cc-byval.ll

IDX isn't used again. You can use just the regex to match the label without having to store it in a file check variable. Ditto on the other filecheck variables that aren't used after capture.

126

Can we drop the 'BYTE' part of REG2BYTE and REG1BYTE?

137

LC2(2) --> LC{{[0-9]+}}(2)

157

Same fix mentioned above with 'LC2(2)'.

llvm/test/CodeGen/PowerPC/aix64-cc-byval.ll
28

Same suggestion about dropping 'BYTE' from the variables name.

37

Same fix on the label here and elsewhere in the test : LC{{[0-9]+}}

"Padding" was meant to indicate the number of zero extended bits from the load that need to be left shifted to get the loaded bits into the correct bit offset. I agree the term "Padding" is misleading. I'll rename to "NumSHLBits".

7161

The size should be a multiple of the alignment. We can do a single load if we can prove PtrByteSize bytes are accessible from the argument address. The auto local case you mention is probably the one worth looking into but I agree it's beyond the scope of this patch to optimize this case.

I'll just use REG1, REG2 ... as per usual generic reg names. The reader will need to chase down the contents.

I found it useful to name the regs by content as I tried to keep everything straight in my head, but I don't mind the more condensed form.

Addressed Sean's comments:
-General test tidy up, remove an unnecessary assertion, tweaked a variable rename.
