Mutate TargetLowering::shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR to specifically dictate how AtomicRMWInsts are expanded.

Summary

In PNaCl, most atomic instructions have their own @llvm.nacl.atomic.* function, each one, with a few exceptions, represents a consistent behaviour across all NaCl-supported targets. Unfortunately, the atomic RMW operations nand, [u]min, and [u]max aren't directly represented by any such @llvm.nacl.atomic.* function. This patch refines shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR in TargetLowering so that a future Le32TargetLowering class can selectively inform the caller how the target desires the atomic RMW instruction to be expanded (ie via load-linked/store-conditional for ARM/AArch64, via cmpxchg for X86/others?, or not at all for Mips) if at all.

This does not represent a behavioural change and as such no tests were added.

No tests? No explanation?

Does any compiler really whinge about this?

No tests?

It seems to me that the test would be passing existing tests, considering this patch happens only at an API boundary and doesn't change the behaviour of existing code.

No explanation?

Apologies; I've added a summary.

You change description should explain that this change doesn't lead to a functional change, so the existing tests are all still valid.

I would just call this None instead of Native.

I find the logic with continue confusing, could you instead do:

if (...) {
  MadeChange = true;
} else {
  MadeChange |= ...;
}
228–229

I'd rename to tryExpandAtomicRMW since it doesn't expand them unconditionally anymore.

229

clang-format.

I'd also just do:

switch (TLI->shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR(AI)) {
235

Use string concatenation instead of backslashes:

"foo "
"bar"

Is equivalent to:

"foo bar"
241

Could you explain the rationale for splitting LLSC from CmpXhg instead of using the same logic as before? It does provide more flexibility, but the enum doesn't really explain why that flexibility is desirable, and doesn't point out that LLSC implies hasLoadLinkedStoreConditional: even if your assert checks this, it's a tricky gotcha for a Target implementer.

lib/Target/AArch64/AArch64ISelLowering.cpp

I think it's generally more idiomatic to do:

return Size <= 128 ? LLSC : Native;
lib/Target/ARM/ARMISelLowering.cpp
11109

Same on ternary operator.

lib/Target/X86/X86ISelLowering.cpp
19622

Same.

19638

Same.

Looks good overall, but I'll let @t.p.northover comment more.

Why remove this?

Fix a comment from the last patchset.

This lgtm, I'll leave open for a short while if anyone else wants to comment.

@DiamondLovesYou: could you re-upload this patch? It looks like the latest one is an incremental patch comparing your previous one, not a patch from tip-of-tree. Once that's done I'll be able to commit.

Fix use of an incremental diff.

I also re-ran clang-format, some of the code wasn't formatted with it.

lib/CodeGen/AtomicExpandPass.cpp

I removed the semicolon here, and had to add llvm_unreachable because not all compilers realize that all cases are handled.
