[X86] ESP should not be in the regcall CSR list
ClosedPublic

Authored by rnk on Jan 5 2021, 1:48 PM.

Details

Summary

All calling conventions should manage ESP explicitly. Typically, they
either preserve it, or use a callee-cleanup convention. There is no need
to push and pop ESP directly. Its inclusion appears to have been an
oversight.

I saw the document mentions ESP/RSP should be preserve for regcall. But I cannot think out a situation that ESP/RSP need to preserve either.

Why do we still preserve RSP for 64 bit?

The document is correct, SP is preserved, but it's done by the standard SP adjustments, not by explicitly pushing and popping the SP register.

Looks like that shows up in codegen as well.

except r11 and rsp?

The same here.

I don't think that adds any clarification. RSP is preserved, just like you would expect of any regular, non callee-cleanup convention.

LGTM.

Yeah, you are right. I don't know what are these definition used for. Just saw it says all GPRs :-)
