If a .c file included "types.h" before "mach.h", then it missed the
declaration of mach_option(). Fix by adding "xmach.h".
Fix mach/powerpc/ncg/mach.h and mach/vc4/ncg/mach.h to use the correct
type in their printf() format strings.
Also add `static` and remove `register` in mach/proto/top/top.c. A
static function is only in one file, so its function declaration may
go in that file, instead of a header file.
Use the new syntax in the mips, pdp, powerpc tables to declare
functions before calling them. These declarations prevent compiler
warnings about implicitly declaring functions. They also provide
prototypes of the function parameters.
Also fix a warning in the powerpc table: use `bsearch(...) != NULL` to
avoid converting the pointer from bsearch() to an int.
The syntax for topgen is a block `{...}` among the parameters in the
top table. It looks like the syntax of LLgen, but topgen doesn't
allow nested blocks, so declarations like `struct whatever {...};`
don't work. The token OPEN_BRACKET that begins a declaration_block
doesn't conflict with the LETTER that begins a parameter_line or the
'%' that begins a separator.
Because a block writes a #line command to gen.h, a parameter line now
also writes a #line command to gen.h, so it doesn't get a wrong line
number from a previous block.
Most machines had undefined valu_t and redefined it to a different
type. Edit mach/*/as/mach0.c to remove such redefinitions, so the
next change to valu_t will affect all machines.
Edit mach/proto/as/comm0.h to change valu_t to int64_t, and add
uvalu_t and uint64_t.
Remove int64_t y_valu8 from the yacc %union, now that valu_t y_valu
can hold 64 bits. Replace y_valu8 with y_valu. The .data8 pseudo
becomes less special; it now accepts absolute expressions.
This change simplifies the assembler and seems to have no effect on
the assembled output. Among the files in share/ack/examples, the only
changes are in hilo_bas.* and startrek_c.linuxppc, but those files
seem to change whenever I rebuild them.
This turns EM `con 5000000000I8` into assembly `.data8 5000000000` for
machines i386, i80, i86, m68020, powerpc, vc4. These are the only ncg
machines in our build.
i80 and i86 get con_mult(sz) for sz == 4 and sz == 8. The other
machines only get sz == 8, because they have 4-byte words, and ncg
only calls con_mult(sz) when sz is greater than the word size. The
tab "\t" after .data4 or .data8 is like the tabs in the con_*() macros
of mach/*/ncg/mach.h.
i86 now uses .data4, like i80. Also, i86 and i386 now use the numeric
string without converting it to an integer and back to a string.
Add more page numbers from PowerPC version 2.01. Remove "xnop" not in
2.01, add "mtcr" from 2.01. Add "lwarx" and the other instructions
from Book II. I did not try all the newly added instructions, but
these seem to work: dcbt, dcbtst, icibi, isync, lwarx, stwcx., mftb,
mftbu
In man/powerpc_as.6 (not installed), add a summary of the registers
and addressing modes (like in i386_as.6), describe short forms, update
description of hi16/ha16, add CAVEATS about instructions that some
processors can't run.
If X < 0, then lowering the addi might cause the code to use the stack
space before allocating it. This is a bug because an asynchronous
signal handler can overwrite the unallocated stack space.
Tests pass if one edits the top build.lua to uncomment "qemuppc" from
both vars.plats and vars.plats_with_tests, and one leaves mcg in
plat/qemuppc/descr.
Add or correct some EM instructions in treebuilder.c:
- "lof", "stf": handle negative offsets in load() and store().
- "cuu": add using IR_FROMUI.
- "lim", "sim": keep an entire word in ".ignmask", to be compatible
with mach/powerpc/libem/trp.s and ncg. We also keep a word in
".ignmask" in ncg for both i386 and m68020.
- "trp": pass trap number in register. See comment in
helper_function_with_arg().
- "sig": push the old value of .trppc on the stack.
- "and ?", "ior ?", "xor ?", "com ?", "cms ?", "set ?", "inn ?":
connect to helper functions in libem.
- "blm", "bls": drop call to memmove() and use new helper ".bls4",
because tests/plat/structcopy_e.c can't call memmove().
- "xor s", "cms s": if s is large, fall back on helper function.
- "rol", "ror": add by decomposing each rotate into 4 IR ops.
- "rck s", "bls s": make fatal unless s is word size.
- "loi": push multiple loads in the correct order.
- "dup s", "exg s": if s is large, fall back on helper.
- "dus": add using new helper ".dus4".
- "lxl", "lxa": follow the static chain, not the dynamic chain.
- "lor 1": materialise the stack before pushing the stack pointer.
- "lor 2", "str 2": make fatal.
- "los", "sts": drop calls to memcpy() and use helpers ".los4" and
and ".sts4", so lang/m2/libm2/LtoUset.e starts working.
- "gto": correctly read descriptor.
Change mach/powerpc/mcg/table:
- ANY.L: add for "asp -8".
- LOAD.L: work around register corruption.
- COMPAREUL.I: add for "cms 8".
In the instruction list, put /* kills xer */ for sraw, srawi, subfic;
and correct the (now unused) "addi." and "lfdu".
Change MACHOPT_F from -m3 to -m2. This changes the code for 15 * i
from
slwi r3,r4,4
subfic r5,r4,0
add r3,r3,r5
to
mulli r3,r4,15
If the sequence "slwi subfic addi" takes 3 cycles and 12 bytes, and
mulli takes 3 cycles and 4 bytes, then mulli is better.
Copy and adapt code from mach/{i386,m68020}/ncg/mach.c to pass the
debugging stabs from EM to assembly. The next tools (as, led, cv)
already know how to put the stabs in the Mach-o executable.
Modify the function prolog/prologue so gdb uses fp, not sp, for N_LSYM
and N_PSYM stabs. Simplify prolog() by reducing differences between
stabs and no stabs, and zero and nonzero framesize. For files without
stabs, the new prolog has the same number of instructions and memory
accesses as the old prolog, and to run at about the same speed on my
PowerPC Mac.
This is enough to see some info for global and local variables in gdb
for Mac OS X. I still can't get a backtrace; gdb gets confused
because EM and ncg don't link 0(sp) to the previous stack frame.
I don't expect `ack -mlinuxppc -g` to work with gdb for Linux, because
we prepend underscores to the symbol table, which is correct for
Mach-o but wrong for ELF.
This simplifies parts of the PowerPC table and causes ncg to better
decide whether to push sp or fp to the real stack, or coerce it to
REG3, or coerce it to REG-REG3, or move it to a regvar. These better
decisions remove extra _mr_ instructions.
The idea comes from mach/powerpc/arm/table, where SP has a property
STACKPOINTER and LB has LOCALBASE. I don't need two properties, so I
make one property SPFP for both registers.
When I wrote fef 8, I forgot to test denormalized numbers. Oops. Now
fix two of my mistakes:
- When checking for zero, `extrwi r6, r3, 22, 12` needs to be
`extrwi r6, r3, 20, 12`. There are only 20 bits to extract.
- After the multiplication by 2**64, I forgot to put the fraction in
[0.5, 1) or (-1, 0.5] by setting IEEE exponent = 1022.
Teach fif 8 about signed zero and NaN.
In ncg/table, change cmf so NaN is not equal to any value, and comment
why ordered comparisons don't work with NaN. Also add cost for
fctwiz, remove extra `uses REG`.
Edit comment in cfu8.s because the conditional branch might be before
or after fctwiz.
With my PowerBook G4, a program that converts values from 1.0 to
4000000.0 runs in about 0.32s with the old .cfu8 and 0.29s with this
shrunken .cfu8
Leave a comment about other ways to implement .cfu8
This reduces code size, because ncg emits too many "addi sp, sp, X"
instructions when unstacking things. Now top lowers "addi sp, sp, X"
by lifting other instructions. This sometimes creates chances to
merge or delete _addi_ instructions. If no such chance is found, the
_addi_ remains uselessly lowered.
Edit ncg/table to remove something that top now does.
Edit ncg/mach.c to remove some spaces after commas. This removes a
whitespace difference between *.s and *.so files, because top removes
the space.
_lim_ must use _loe_ (load word external), not _lde_ (load double-word
external).
The new patterns for _lxl_, _lxa_, _lor_, _str_ emit shorter code in
some cases. The change from GPR_EXPR to REG_EXPR allows moving
LXFRAME to a register variable.
Add more "reusing" clauses. We have enough registers that ncg almost
never reuses a register, but sometimes it can reuse r3.
In mach.c, emit one fewer instruction in procedures with no locals.
Fix PowerPC ncg so setjmp() returns the correct value. I got unlucky
when ncg picked r3 for "uses REG"; this destroyed the return value in
r3 and caused the new test to fail.
The new test rck_e.e segfaults on PowerPC unless I make some changes.
The inline code for _rck_ was wrong because it didn't allow the trap
handler to return. _sig_ forgot to push the old trap handler.
Move plat/linuxppc/libsys/trap.s to mach/powerpc/libem/trp.s and
rewrite it with simplified/extended mnemonics. Remove .trap alias for
.trp procedure. Add a missing `mtspr lr, r0` so we can return from
the trap handler. Call write() and _exit() so trp.s works with both
linuxppc and osxppc. Before, Mac OS X was wrongly using the trap.s
for Linux.
In powerpc/libem, simplify .aar4; teach .csa and .csb to raise the
trap if the default target is zero.
C programs don't need these changes. You may relink your C programs
with the changed .csa and .csb, but C code doesn't raise the trap.
Modula-2 code can raise traps, so you may want to relink your Modula-2
programs with the changed libem, but you might keep your old .o files
from Modula-2. You may need to recompile your Pascal programs (delete
old .o files from Pascal) because the Pascal compiler might use _rck_.
I understand `loi 4` more easily than `loi INT32`, because `loi 4`
appears in .e files. So remove INT8, INT16, INT32, INT64.
Add a comment to explain r3 during unconditional jumps.
When storing to a local, stop killing the tokens of other locals,
unless they might overlap with the stored local. This helps some
procedures that juggle locals when the locals aren't in registers.
Also use FRAME_V tokens for locals in statically enclosing procedures.
Rewrite _lxa_ as _lxl_, to skip the `addi ?,?,8` if we can add 8 to
the next constant. The PowerPC code from _lxl_ is now sometimes
better, sometimes worse than before.
The i386 table provided the idea to use %size to find overlapping
locals.
Prefer the rule with REG FREG, by coercing IND_RC_D or IND_RR_D to
FREG. This rule looks better to ncg. When ncg chose between coercion
to REG IND_RC_D or coercion to REG FREG, it chose REG FREG. It only
chose REG IND_RC_D if the stack had exact REG IND_RC_D.
Allow asp 4, exg 4 to shuffle tokens without coercing them into
registers; but comment why dup 4, dup 8 coerce tokens into registers.
Allow dup, dus, exg with larger sizes; and add tests dup_e.e and
exg_e.e to check that dup 20, dus, exg 20 work as well in powerpc as
in i80 and i86.
Then powerpc failed to compile loc 2 loc 4 cuu in dup_e.e. Revise the
integer conversions, so powerpc can compile and pass the test.
When a rule `uses REG ... yields %a`, the result %a is always a
temporary, never a regvar. If the EM code uses _stl_ to put the
result in a regvar, then ncg emits _mr_ to move %a to the regvar.
There are two ways to put the result in the regvar without %a:
1. Yield a token, as in `yields {MUL_RR, %2, %1}`, so that _stl_
can move the token to the regvar without using %a.
2. Provide a pattern, like `sli stl`, that just puts the result
in `{LOCAL, $2}` and not %a.
Allow some tokens, like SUM_RIS and XEQ, onto the stack; and add
tokens like MUL_RR, and patterns like `sli stl`.
Delete patterns for `stl lol` and `sdl ldl` to avoid an extra
temporary %a when the local is a regvar. Delete `lal sti lal loi`
because it would emit wrong code.
Rename token CONST to C. Define set CONST = C + CONST_STACK. The
instructions with CONST operands can now accept CONST_STACK tokens;
some cases of {CONST, %1.val} become %1.
Also simplify two of _rlwinm_ into _slwi_ and _srwi_.
EM instructions _rol_ and _ror_ do rotate an integer left or right.
Our compilers and optimizers never emit _rol_ nor _ror_, but I might
want to use them in the future.
Add _rol_ and _ror_ to powerpc. Fix `rol 4` and `ror 4` in both i80
and i86, where the rules for `rol 4` and `ror 4` seem to have never
been tested until now.
This breaks all machines because the declared return type void
disagrees with the implicit return type int (when I compile mach.c
with clang). Unbreak i386, i80, i86, m68020, powerpc, vc4 by adding
the return types to mach.c. We don't build any other machines; they
are broken since commit a46ee91 (May 19, 2013) declared void prolog()
and commit fd91851 (Nov 10, 2016) declared void mes(), with both
declarations in mach/proto/ncg/fillem.c.
Also fix mach/vc4/ncg/mach.c where type full is long, so fprintf()
must use "%ld" not "%d" to print full nlocals.
In util/ncgg, add two more errors for tables using reglap:
- "Two sizes of reg_float can't be same size"
- "Missing reg_float of size %d to contain %s"
In mach/proto/ncg, rename macro isregvar_size() to PICK_REGVAR(), so
the macro doesn't look like a function. This macro sometimes doesn't
evaluate its second argument.
In mach/powerpc/ncg/mach.c, change type of lfs_set to uint32_t, and
change the left shifts from 1U<<regno to (uint32_t)1<<regno, because
1U would be too small for machines with 16-bit int.
This relocation is specific to PowerPC. @davidgiven suggested the
name RELOPPC_LIS in
https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/pull/52#issuecomment-279856501
Reindent the list in h/out.h and util/led/ack.out.5 because
RELOLIS_PPC is a long name. I use spaces and no tabs because the tabs
looked bad in the manual page.
Because lwzu or stwu moves the pointer, I can remove an addi
instruction from the loop, so the loop is slightly faster.
I wrote a benchmark in Modula-2 that exercises some of these loops. I
measured its time on my old PowerPC Mac. Its user time decreases from
8.401s to 8.217s with the tighter loops.
The result of single-precision fadds, fsubs, and such can go into a
register variable, like we already do with double precision. This
avoids an extra fmr from a temporary register to the regvar.
Do the conversion by calling .cif8 or .cuf8 in libem, as it was done
before my commit 1de1e8f. I used the inline conversion to experiment
with the register allocator, which was too slow until c5bb3be.
Now that libem has the only copy of the code, move some comments and
code changes there.
Rename GPRE to GPR_EXPR, then define FPR_EXPR and FSREG_EXPR. Use
them for moves to register variables.
Keep "kills regvar($1)", because deleting it and recompiling libc
would cause many failures in my test programs. Add comment to warn,
/* ncg fails to infer that regvar($1) is dead! */
Remove "kills LOCAL %off==$1" because it seems to have no effect.
The new feature "reglap" allows two sizes of floating-point register
variables (reg_float), if each register overlaps a single register of
the other size. PowerPC ncg uses reglap to define 4-byte instances
of f14 to f31 that overlap the 8-byte instances.
When ncgg sees the definition of fs14("f14")=f14, it removes the
8-byte f14 from its rvnumbers array, and adds the 4-byte fs14 in its
place. Later, when ncg puts a variable in fs14, if it is an 8-byte
variable, then ncg switches to the 8-byte f14. The code has
/* reglap */ comments in util/ncgg or #ifdef REGLAP in mach/proto/ncg
reglap became necessary because my commit a20b87c caused PowerPC ego
to allocate reg_float in both 4-byte and 8-byte sizes.
After c5bb3be, ncg began to allocate regvars from r13 up. I reorder
the regvars so ncg again allocates them from r31 down. I also reorder
the other registers.
This exposed a bug in my rule for ret 8. It was wrong if item %2 was
in r3, because I moved %1 to r3 before %2 to r4. Fix it by adding
back an individual register class for r3 (called REG3 here, GPR3 in
c5bb3be).
Also fix my typo in mach.c that made a syntax error in assembly.
