MIPS assembler branch relaxations

MIPS assembler branch relaxations

[Alexandre Oliva]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 258 bytes --]

This patch arranges for the MIPS assembler to turn out-of-range
branches into jumps.  No regressions are introduced in the binutils
testsuites for a mips-linux build.  Details on how it is done are in
comments in the beginning of the patch.  Ok to install?

+
+   Even though keeping the delay slot instruction in the delay slot of
+   the branch would be more efficient, it would be very tricky to do
+   correctly, because we'd have to introduce a variable frag *after*
+   the delay slot instruction, and expand that instead.  Let's do it
+   the easy way for now, even if the branch-not-taken case now costs
+   one additional instruction.  Out-of-range branches are not supposed
+   to be common, anyway.

+
+   It would be possible to generate a shorter sequence by losing the

+     
+	bne reg1, reg2, 0f

+	bc1fl -> bc1t
+	bc1tl -> bc1f
+
+	bltzall -> bgezal  (with jal label instead of j label)
+	bgezall -> bltzal  (ditto)
+
+
+   but it's not clear that it would actually improve performance.  */

A couple of thoughts:

Have you checked it against g++.dg/opt/longbranch1.C in gcc 3.2 on
Linux/mips? It should pass now.

It's a good comment, however, a couple of other comments:

1) If this bites assembler programmers then they screwed themselves.
2) gcc is going towards .set nomacro, so, hopefully this is just
temporary.

1) None of the other relaxations require a command line.
2) always.
3) no
4) shouldn't - good catch.
5) not always, macros are partially to blame.
6) you and i had a conversation about this very thing yesterday :)

Anyhow, if 4 is I'm pretty happy with it going in.

Not only that, but MIPS64 explicitly deprecates all flavors of "branch
likely" which is why gcc has a way to avoid generating them.  So the
assembler should either have the same conditional stuff, or avoid them
entirely.

That's not a problem here - Alex's patch only generated branch-likely
in response to existing branch-likely in the source.

How about "if relaxation doesn't happen within set nomacro" i'm pretty
happy with it going in. Or did you want all of them expanded? They were
just answers to your questions.

Er... um... could I get that said again with more words?  I have no

"b" isn't a valid opcode. :-)
Btw, "beqzl" also isn't one. In this special case I'd prefer "beq".

Right.  `b foo' is just a shorthand for `beq $0, $0, foo'

> Btw, "beqzl" also isn't one.

Huh?  Please check your ISA manual again.  It surely is there.

> In this special case I'd prefer "beq".

Then other branch prediction forms would kick in, and the branch would
probably be considered unlikely for being a forward branch.  I don't
know whether mips has any such considerations, but indicating the
branch is likely if there is a way to do so is an obvious improvement
to me.

Nope.  I'm still struggling to get a stable kernel for mips-linux
development, on which I'd be able to bootstrap gcc and test it.

I agree.  I doubt it's worth doing it the right way.  It shouldn't
strike often enough to motivate anyone to do it.

I don't see why not.  It's not like we're expanding a macro.  We're
rather doing relaxation.  Does the linker refrain from doing
relaxations on machine code generated from opcodes assembled while
.set nomacro was in effect?  This is no different, except that the
relaxation is being performed in the assembler rather than in the
linker.

That would be a nice improvement.  Just arrange for whatever option
you come up with to disable this block:

  if (place == NULL
      && address_expr
      && ((*reloc_type == BFD_RELOC_16_PCREL
	   && address_expr->X_op != O_constant)
	  || *reloc_type == BFD_RELOC_16_PCREL_S2)
      && (pinfo & INSN_UNCOND_BRANCH_DELAY || pinfo & INSN_COND_BRANCH_DELAY
	  || pinfo & INSN_COND_BRANCH_LIKELY)
+     && !whatever_option_you_come_up_with
      && !mips_opts.mips16)

This will switch all the rest off.

I just realized this test is off by 4.  The base address added to the
branch offset is the address of the instruction in the delay slot, not
that of the branch instruction.  I'm amending the patch as follows:

         addr = fragp->fr_address + fragp->fr_fix + 4;

Definitly not for MIPS IV and earlier.
Of course, "beql" is there, and with rt == $0 it equals "beqzl".
(/opcodes/mips-opc.c provides "beqzl" this way.)

It's a style issue, I like to use the official mnemnonic in such a case,
but probably that's only me.

Ok, then it would be "beql".

Eeek!  I apologize.  You're of course right.  I don't know where I got
this idea that beqzl existed but beql did not.  I even wrote about
beql myself, but apparently I did so in DMA mode :-)

I suppose.  But, as I've been discussing with Eric, the eventual goal
is for GCC to not emit macros; which will let it have much more precise
control over the generated code.  That'll make overlong branches
significantly less likely, and more interesting to know about.  I guess
a warning would suffice.

Thanks.  How about something as simple as -mno-relax-branch?  (Or would
it be -no-mrelax-branch?  Gas is pretty inconsistent.)

I suppose warning by default would be a little too harsh, too.  With
the option to not relax it would be as simple as running a GCC testsuite
with unix/-Wa,-mno-relax-branch.

Are we generating more than one instruction?  Yes.  Ergo
it's a macro.

What linker relaxations?

coff-mips does them for embedded pic.  I thought we did more of those,
given the references to linker relaxations in comments in the
assembler.

Ok, I'm now convinced not doing such relaxations under certain
conditions is the way to go.  But what are the exact conditions?
nomacro (as suggested), noat (to avoid clobbering $at in the expanded
sequences) and no gp (to avoid depending on uninitialized values)?

Dunno what current behaviour is like for the mips assembler,
but for the alpha assembler the behaviour would be that only
nomacro would prevent the expansion, but if noat is present
you get an assembler error if it's needed.

Always, as it should prevent expansions.

Only if $at is actually used. AFAICS this is the PIC case.

AFAICS $gp is only used for PIC, where it must be defined anyway.

Btw, your patch uses explicit binary patterns to create insns, is it
actually impossible to use mips_ip()/append_insn() instead?

Below you'll find a revised patch that prevents us from attempting to
do branch relaxation in the two cases above, and that introduces the 
-relax-branch and -no-relax-branch options.  -no-relax-branch is in
effect by default, because I found out the assembler generates worse
code for:

	la	$3,l2-l3	# -30

in gas/testsuite/gas/mips/empic.s, because by the time it computes the
offset between l3 and l2, it's already committed to a longer expansion
of `la', instead of the single-instruction it uses currently.  This
could probably be overcome using generic relaxation tables, but that's
too much work for now.

> Btw, your patch uses explicit binary patterns to create insns, is it
> actually impossible to use mips_ip()/append_insn() instead?

I haven't really tried to do it, out of fear of running into corner
cases such as the conversion of `j' to `b' in EMBEDDED_PIC.  I agree
it would be desirable, but I preferred not to take the risk, since
it's essential to know in advance exactly which instructions we're
going to emit.


Ok to install?
