Write a powerpc.descr for ego and use it with osxppc.
No change to linuxppc and qemuppc. They continue to run ego without
any descr file.
I copied m68020.descr to powerpc.descr and changed some numbers. My
numbers are guesses; I know little about PowerPC cycle counts, and
almost nothing about ego. This powerpc.descr causes most of the
example programs to shrink in size (without descr -> with descr):
65429 -> 57237 hilo_b.osxppc -8192
36516 -> 32420 hilo_c.osxppc -4096
55782 -> 51686 hilo_mod.osxppc -4096
20096 -> 20096 hilo_p.osxppc 0
8813 -> 8813 mandelbrot_c.osxppc 0
93355 -> 89259 paranoia_c.osxppc -4096
92751 -> 84559 startrek_c.osxppc -8192
(Each file has 2 Mach segments, then a symbol table. Each segment
takes a multiple of 4096 bytes. When the code shrinks, we lose a
multiple of 4096 bytes.)
I used "ack -mosxppc -O6 -c.so" to examine the assembly code for
hilo.mod and mandelbrot.c, both without and with descr. This reveals
optimizations made only with descr, from 2 ego phases: SP (stack
pollution) and RA (register allocation). In hilo.mod, SP deletes some
instructions that remove items from the stack. These items get
removed when the function returns. In both hilo.mod and mandelbrot.c,
RA moves some values into local variables, so ncg can make them into
register variables. This shrinks code size, probably because register
variables get preserved across function calls. More values stay in
registers, and ncg emits shorter code.
I believe that the ego descr file uses (time,space) tuples but the ncg
table uses (space,time) tuples. This is confusing. Perhaps I am
wrong, and some or all tuples are backwards. My time values are the
cycle counts in latency from the MPC7450 Reference Manual (but not
including complications like "store serialization").
In powerpc.descr, I give the cost for saving and restoring registers
as if I was using chains of stw and lwz instructions. Actually ncg
uses single stmw and lmw instructions with at least 2 instructions.
The (time,space) for stmw and lmw would be much less than the
(time,space) for chains of stw and lwz. But this ignores the pipeline
of the MPC7450. The chains of stw and lwz may run faster than stmw
and lmw in the pipeline, because the throughput may be better than the
latency. By using the wrong values for (time,space), I'm trying to
tell ego that stmw and lmw are not better than chains of stw and lwz.

Add floating-point register variables to PowerPC ncg.
Use f14 to f31 as register variables for 8-byte double-precison.
There are no regvars for 4-byte double precision, because all
regvar(reg_float) must have the same size. I expect more programs to
prefer 8-byte double precision.
Teach mach/powerpc/ncg/mach.c to emit stfd and lfd instructions to
save and restore 8-byte regvars. Delay emitting the function prolog
until f_regsave(), so we can use one addi to make stack space for both
local vars and saved registers. Be more careful with types in mach.c;
don't assume that int and long and full are the same.
In ncg table, add f14 to f31 as register variables, and some rules to
use them. Add rules to put the result of fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv, fneg
in a regvar. Without such rules, the result would go in a scratch
FREG, and we would need fmr to move it to the regvar. Also add a rule
for pat sdl inreg($1)==reg_float with STACK, so we can unstack the
value directly into the regvar, again without a scratch FREG and fmr.
Edit util/ego/descr/powerpc.descr to tell ego about the new float
regvars. This might not be working right; ego usually decides against
using any float regvars, so ack -O1 (not running ego) uses the
regvars, but ack -O4 (running ego) doesn't use the regvars.
Beware that ack -mosxppc runs ego using powerpc.descr but -mlinuxppc
and -mqemuppc run ego without a config file (since 8ef7c31). I am
testing powerpc.descr with a local edit to plat/linuxppc/descr to run

Add floating-point register variables to PowerPC ncg.
Use f14 to f31 as register variables for 8-byte double-precison.
There are no regvars for 4-byte double precision, because all
regvar(reg_float) must have the same size. I expect more programs to
prefer 8-byte double precision.
Teach mach/powerpc/ncg/mach.c to emit stfd and lfd instructions to
save and restore 8-byte regvars. Delay emitting the function prolog
until f_regsave(), so we can use one addi to make stack space for both
local vars and saved registers. Be more careful with types in mach.c;
don't assume that int and long and full are the same.
In ncg table, add f14 to f31 as register variables, and some rules to
use them. Add rules to put the result of fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv, fneg
in a regvar. Without such rules, the result would go in a scratch
FREG, and we would need fmr to move it to the regvar. Also add a rule
for pat sdl inreg($1)==reg_float with STACK, so we can unstack the
value directly into the regvar, again without a scratch FREG and fmr.
Edit util/ego/descr/powerpc.descr to tell ego about the new float
regvars. This might not be working right; ego usually decides against
using any float regvars, so ack -O1 (not running ego) uses the
regvars, but ack -O4 (running ego) doesn't use the regvars.
Beware that ack -mosxppc runs ego using powerpc.descr but -mlinuxppc
and -mqemuppc run ego without a config file (since 8ef7c31). I am
testing powerpc.descr with a local edit to plat/linuxppc/descr to run
ego with powerpc.descr there, but I did not commit my local edit.

I copied m68020.descr to powerpc.descr and changed some numbers. My
numbers are guesses; I know little about PowerPC cycle counts, and
almost nothing about ego. This powerpc.descr causes most of the
example programs to shrink in size (without descr -> with descr):

(Each file has 2 Mach segments, then a symbol table. Each segment
takes a multiple of 4096 bytes. When the code shrinks, we lose a
multiple of 4096 bytes.)
I used "ack -mosxppc -O6 -c.so" to examine the assembly code for
hilo.mod and mandelbrot.c, both without and with descr. This reveals
optimizations made only with descr, from 2 ego phases: SP (stack
pollution) and RA (register allocation). In hilo.mod, SP deletes some
instructions that remove items from the stack. These items get
removed when the function returns. In both hilo.mod and mandelbrot.c,
RA moves some values into local variables, so ncg can make them into
register variables. This shrinks code size, probably because register
variables get preserved across function calls. More values stay in
registers, and ncg emits shorter code.
I believe that the ego descr file uses (time,space) tuples but the ncg
table uses (space,time) tuples. This is confusing. Perhaps I am
wrong, and some or all tuples are backwards. My time values are the
cycle counts in latency from the MPC7450 Reference Manual (but not
including complications like "store serialization").
In powerpc.descr, I give the cost for saving and restoring registers
as if I was using chains of stw and lwz instructions. Actually ncg
uses single stmw and lmw instructions with at least 2 instructions.
The (time,space) for stmw and lmw would be much less than the
(time,space) for chains of stw and lwz. But this ignores the pipeline
of the MPC7450. The chains of stw and lwz may run faster than stmw
and lmw in the pipeline, because the throughput may be better than the
latency. By using the wrong values for (time,space), I'm trying to
tell ego that stmw and lmw are not better than chains of stw and lwz.

don't assume that int and long and full are the same.
In ncg table, add f14 to f31 as register variables, and some rules to
use them. Add rules to put the result of fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv, fneg
in a regvar. Without such rules, the result would go in a scratch
FREG, and we would need fmr to move it to the regvar. Also add a rule
for pat sdl inreg($1)==reg_float with STACK, so we can unstack the
value directly into the regvar, again without a scratch FREG and fmr.
Edit util/ego/descr/powerpc.descr to tell ego about the new float
regvars. This might not be working right; ego usually decides against
using any float regvars, so ack -O1 (not running ego) uses the
regvars, but ack -O4 (running ego) doesn't use the regvars.
Beware that ack -mosxppc runs ego using powerpc.descr but -mlinuxppc
and -mqemuppc run ego without a config file (since 8ef7c31). I am
testing powerpc.descr with a local edit to plat/linuxppc/descr to run
ego with powerpc.descr there, but I did not commit my local edit.

Write a powerpc.descr for ego and use it with osxppc.
No change to linuxppc and qemuppc. They continue to run ego without
any descr file.
I copied m68020.descr to powerpc.descr and changed some numbers. My
numbers are guesses; I know little about PowerPC cycle counts, and
almost nothing about ego. This powerpc.descr causes most of the
example programs to shrink in size (without descr -> with descr):
65429 -> 57237 hilo_b.osxppc -8192
36516 -> 32420 hilo_c.osxppc -4096
55782 -> 51686 hilo_mod.osxppc -4096
20096 -> 20096 hilo_p.osxppc 0
8813 -> 8813 mandelbrot_c.osxppc 0
93355 -> 89259 paranoia_c.osxppc -4096
92751 -> 84559 startrek_c.osxppc -8192
(Each file has 2 Mach segments, then a symbol table. Each segment
takes a multiple of 4096 bytes. When the code shrinks, we lose a
multiple of 4096 bytes.)
I used "ack -mosxppc -O6 -c.so" to examine the assembly code for
hilo.mod and mandelbrot.c, both without and with descr. This reveals
optimizations made only with descr, from 2 ego phases: SP (stack
pollution) and RA (register allocation). In hilo.mod, SP deletes some
instructions that remove items from the stack. These items get
removed when the function returns. In both hilo.mod and mandelbrot.c,
RA moves some values into local variables, so ncg can make them into
register variables. This shrinks code size, probably because register
variables get preserved across function calls. More values stay in
registers, and ncg emits shorter code.
I believe that the ego descr file uses (time,space) tuples but the ncg
table uses (space,time) tuples. This is confusing. Perhaps I am
wrong, and some or all tuples are backwards. My time values are the
cycle counts in latency from the MPC7450 Reference Manual (but not
including complications like "store serialization").
In powerpc.descr, I give the cost for saving and restoring registers
as if I was using chains of stw and lwz instructions. Actually ncg
uses single stmw and lmw instructions with at least 2 instructions.
The (time,space) for stmw and lmw would be much less than the
(time,space) for chains of stw and lwz. But this ignores the pipeline
of the MPC7450. The chains of stw and lwz may run faster than stmw
and lmw in the pipeline, because the throughput may be better than the
latency. By using the wrong values for (time,space), I'm trying to
tell ego that stmw and lmw are not better than chains of stw and lwz.
