[AArch64][SME] Spill p-regs as z-regs when streaming hazards are possible (#123752) This patch adds a new option `-aarch64-enable-zpr-predicate-spills` (which is disabled by default), this option replaces predicate spills with vector spills in streaming[-compatible] functions. For example: ``` str p8, [sp, #7, mul vl] // 2-byte Folded Spill // ... ldr p8, [sp, #7, mul vl] // 2-byte Folded Reload ``` Becomes: ``` mov z0.b, p8/z, #1 str z0, [sp] // 16-byte Folded Spill // ... ldr z0, [sp] // 16-byte Folded Reload ptrue p4.b cmpne p8.b, p4/z, z0.b, #0 ``` This is done to avoid streaming memory hazards between FPR/vector and predicate spills, which currently occupy the same stack area even when the `-aarch64-stack-hazard-size` flag is set. This is implemented with two new pseudos SPILL_PPR_TO_ZPR_SLOT_PSEUDO and FILL_PPR_FROM_ZPR_SLOT_PSEUDO. The expansion of these pseudos handles scavenging the required registers (z0 in the above example) and, in the worst case spilling a register to an emergency stack slot in the expansion. The condition flags are also preserved around the `cmpne` in case they are live at the expansion point.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
