Summary

This change allows relaxInstruction to use the auto-generated
instruction uncompression routine, rather than a partial implementation
of the same.

I am yet to find a testcase that this affects.

Oh there's more to do, which may involve changes to llvm/utils/TableGen/RISCVCompressInstEmitter.cpp

LGTM.

Nit: declare Res at the point of initialization or, probably better yet, just do the if on the result of uncompressInst.

I'm getting a test failure on rv64-relax-all.s with this patch?

  • Rebase
Harbormaster completed remote builds in B79122: Diff 305793.

Issues I still need to investigate:

  • That this doesn't cause a code-size blow-up
  • That this doesn't cause compiler performance regressions due to using uncompressInst in mayNeedRelaxation

However, this change is also blocking relaxing conditional branches, so I need to get to a conclusion on this quickly.

Preliminary data says there's no major difference to code size from this patch, so I'm feeling more confident about it. I still want to do a GCC Torture test run, if possible.

I'm afraid this causes compile-time failures with 20030323-1.c, multi-ix.c, and pr53645.c.

e.g.

+./output_rv64imafdc_lp64_O0/multi-ix.o: in function `.LBB0_1':
+multi-ix.c:(.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: R_RISCV_BRANCH against `.LBB0_4'
+clang-11: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Only if Inst is a non-indirect branch (which is exactly the set that getRelaxedOpcode previously handled)?

llvm/test/MC/RISCV/rv64-relax-all.s
7–10

This seems like a regression?

17–21

Why not test with a non-zero immediate like before?

So, looking further into this for the failing test case:

  • The patch as-was relaxed far more instructions than necessary in e.g. the example @asb notes is failing.
  • I went back to using the explicit list of instructions that can be relaxed, from feedback from @jrtc27 - as the list is not likely to grow.
  • This change is now probably pointless, as the uncompresser is *huge* and the list of instructions we should uncompress is all of 4.
