All Cmm procedures now include the set of global registers that are live on
procedure entry, i.e., the global registers used to pass arguments to the
procedure. Only global registers that are use to pass arguments are included in
this list.
|
|
|
|
|
|

We would like to calculate register liveness for global registers as well as
local registers, so this patch generalizes the existing infrastructure to set
the stage.

The main change here is that the Cmm parser now allows high-level cmm
code with argument-passing and function calls. For example:
foo ( gcptr a, bits32 b )
{
if (b > 0) {
// we can make tail calls passing arguments:
jump stg_ap_0_fast(a);
}
return (x,y);
}
More details on the new cmm syntax are in Note [Syntax of .cmm files]
in CmmParse.y.
The old syntax is still more-or-less supported for those occasional
code fragments that really need to explicitly manipulate the stack.
However there are a couple of differences: it is now obligatory to
give a list of live GlobalRegs on every jump, e.g.
jump %ENTRY_CODE(Sp(0)) [R1];
Again, more details in Note [Syntax of .cmm files].
I have rewritten most of the .cmm files in the RTS into the new
syntax, except for AutoApply.cmm which is generated by the genapply
program: this file could be generated in the new syntax instead and
would probably be better off for it, but I ran out of enthusiasm.
Some other changes in this batch:
- The PrimOp calling convention is gone, primops now use the ordinary
NativeNodeCall convention. This means that primops and "foreign
import prim" code must be written in high-level cmm, but they can
now take more than 10 arguments.
- CmmSink now does constant-folding (should fix #7219)
- .cmm files now go through the cmmPipeline, and as a result we
generate better code in many cases. All the object files generated
for the RTS .cmm files are now smaller. Performance should be
better too, but I haven't measured it yet.
- RET_DYN frames are removed from the RTS, lots of code goes away
- we now have some more canned GC points to cover unboxed-tuples with
2-4 pointers, which will reduce code size a little.

I've switched to passing DynFlags rather than Platform, as (a) it's
simpler to not have to extract targetPlatform in so many places, and
(b) it may be useful to have DynFlags around in future.

This means that we now generate the same code whatever platform we are
on, which should help avoid changes on one platform breaking the build
on another.
It's also another step towards full cross-compilation.

To explicitly choose whether you want an unregisterised build you now
need to use the "--enable-unregisterised"/"--disable-unregisterised"
configure flags.

Proc-point splitting is only required by backends that do not support
having proc-points within a code block (that is, everything except the
native backend, i.e. LLVM and C).
Not doing proc-point splitting saves some compilation time, and might
produce slightly better code in some cases.

All the flags that 'ways' imply are now dynamic

This gives the register allocator access to R1.., F1.., D1.. etc. for
the new code generator, and is a cheap way to eliminate all the extra
"x = R1" assignments that we get from copyIn.

Also, do removeDeadAssignments instead of cmmLiveness before stack
allocation, because the former also does liveness analysis, and we can
do just one liveness analysis instead of two. The stack layout
algorithm doesn't introduce any dead assignments, so this doesn't
affect the generated code.

We also generate much better code for safe foreign calls (and maybe
also unsafe foreign calls) than previously. See the two new Notes:
Note [lower safe foreign calls]
Note [safe foreign call convention]

Also:
- improvements to code generation: push slow-call continuations
on the stack instead of generating explicit continuations
- remove unused CmmInfo wrapper type (replace with CmmInfoTable)
- squash Area and AreaId together, remove now-unused RegSlot
- comment out old unused stack-allocation code that no longer
compiles after removal of RegSlot
