Hi,
As mentioned in the previous version patch:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-October/604646.html
The suboptimal code is generated for "assigning from parameter" or
"assigning to return value".
This patch enhances the assignment from parameters like the below
cases:
/////case1.c
typedef struct SA {double a[3];long l; } A;
A ret_arg (A a) {return a;}
void st_arg (A a, A *p) {*p = a;}
////case2.c
typedef struct SA {double a[3];} A;
A ret_arg (A a) {return a;}
void st_arg (A a, A *p) {*p = a;}
For this patch, bootstrap and regtest pass on ppc64{,le}
and x86_64.
* Besides asking for help reviewing this patch, I would like to
consult comments about enhancing for "assigning to returns".
On some targets(ppc64), for below case:
////case3.c
typedef struct SA {double a[3]; long l; } A;
A ret_arg_pt (A *a) {return *a;}
The optimized GIMPLE code looks like:
<retval> = *a_2(D);
return <retval>;
Here, <retval>(aka. RESULT_DECL) is MEM, and "aggregate_value_p"
returns true for <retval>.
* While for below case, the generated code is still suboptimal.
////case4.c
typedef struct SA {double a[3];} A;
A ret_arg_pt (A *a) {return *a;}
The optimized GIMPLE code looks like:
D.3951 = *a_2(D);
return D.3951;
The "return/assign" stmts are using D.3951(VAR_DECL) instead
"<retval>(RESULT_DECL)". The mode of D.3951/<retval> is BLK.
The RTL of D.3951 is MEM, and RTL of <retval> is PARALLEL. For
PARALLEL, aggregate_value_p returns false.
In function expand_assignment, there is code:
if (TREE_CODE (to) == RESULT_DECL
&& (REG_P (to_rtx) || GET_CODE (to_rtx) == PARALLEL))
This code can handle "<retval>", but can not handle "D.3951".
I'm thinking of one way to handle this issue is to update the
GIMPLE sequence as: "<retval> = *a_2(D); return <retval>;"
Or, collecting VARs which are used by return stmts; and for
assignments to those VARs, using sub scalar mode for the block
move.
Thanks for any comments and suggestions!
BR,
Jeff (Jiufu)

I updated the patch to fix the issue for returns. This patch
adds a flag DECL_USEDBY_RETURN_P to indicate if a var is used
by a return stmt. This patch fix the issue in expand pass only,
so, we would try to update the patch to avoid this flag.

Where did this come from and what does it mean?
Note that BLKmode subword values passed in registers can be either right
or left justified. I think you also need to worry about endianness here.

Sorry for does not make this clear. We know that an aggregate arg may be
on registers partially or totally, as assign_parm_adjust_entry_rtl.
For an example, if a parameter with 12 words and the target/ABI only
allow 8 gprs for arguments, then the parameter could use 8 regs at most
and left part in stack.

Since the subword is used to move block(read from source mem and then
store to destination mem with register mode), and this would keep to use
the same endianness on reg like move_block_from_reg. So, the patch does
not check the endianness.
If any concerns and sugguestions, please point out, thanks!

I also wonder about the exact semantics of the parallels we get here.
+ int size = INTVAL (expr_size (from));
esp. when you use sth as simple as this. Shouldn't you instead look
at to_rtx since that's already expanded? For returns that should
be the desired layout to match 'from' to, no? Maybe it's better
to not try sharing the code for both incoming and return copies
for clarity?
Also, what happens if there's a copy from a PARM_DECL to a
DECL_USEDBY_RETURN_P decl? Which heuristic takes precedent?
I think that at least the place of the copy improvement and the
way you compute DECL_USEDBY_RETURN_P is reasonable.

Since we are collecting the return vals, it would be built in function
gimplify_return_expr. In this function, create_tmp_reg is used and
a local temp. So it would not be a global var here.
code piece in gimplify_return_expr:
if (!result_decl)
result = NULL_TREE;
else if (aggregate_value_p (result_decl, TREE_TYPE (current_function_decl)))
{
....
result = result_decl;
}
else if (gimplify_ctxp->return_temp)
result = gimplify_ctxp->return_temp;
else
{
result = create_tmp_reg (TREE_TYPE (result_decl));
Here, for "typedef struct SA {double a[3];}", aggregate_value_p returns
false for target like ppc64le, because result of "hard_function_value"
is a "rtx with PARALLELL code".
And then a DECL_VAR is built via "create_tmp_reg" (actually it is not a
reg here. it built a DECL_VAR with RECORD type and BLK mode).
I also tried the way to use RESULT_DECL for this kind of type, or
let aggregate_value_p accept this kind of type. But it seems not easy,
because "<retval> (RESULT_DECL with PARALLEL)" is not ok for address
operations.

Checking BLK, because I want make sure the param should occur on
register and stack (saved from register).
Actualy, my intention is checking:
GET_MODE (DECL_INCOMING_RTL (from)) == BLKmode
For code:
GET_MODE (DECL_INCOMING_RTL (from)) == BLKmode
&& (GET_CODE (DECL_INCOMING_RTL (from)) == PARALLEL
|| REG_P (DECL_INCOMING_RTL (from)))
This checking indicates if the param may be passing via 2 or more
registers.
Using "AGGREGATE_TYPE_P && (PARALLEL || REG_P)" may be ok and more
readable. I would have a test.

REG_P with BLK on return would means return in memory, instead return
through registers, so, REG_P was not added here, and let it use
orignal behavior.

Yes, I use "expr_size (from)" is just because the size should be same
between "from", "to" and "to_rtx" for these cases.

OK, thanks, good sugguestion.

I thinking below code reflects this senario:
typedef struct SA {double a[3];} A;
A ret_arg (A a) {return a;}
The gimple seq:
D.3951 = a;
return D.3951;
For this patch, since "PARM_DECL" is checked before "VAR_P",
so, PARM_DECL is checked as true first.

I'm also thinking to mark this flag for return variables during
it was built in gimplify_return_expr. This would be more
straightforward and no need to query/walk return stmts. One
possible concern: it is too far between "gimplify" phase and
"expand".
I will update the patch accordingly.
Thanks for suggestions and comments!

Oh, AGGREGATE_TYPE_P seems not the intention of this patch, since if
struct size can be represented by an INT size, the mode would be that
INT mode, and no need to use block move for the assignment.

Right, but the number of registers is target dependent, so I don't see
how using "8" or any number of that matter is correct here.

Hmm, I was clear enough here, particularly using the endianness term.
Don't you need to query the ABI to ensure that you're not changing left
vs right justification for a partially in register argument. On the
PA we have:
/* Specify padding for the last element of a block move between registers
and memory.
The 64-bit runtime specifies that objects need to be left justified
(i.e., the normal justification for a big endian target). The 32-bit
runtime specifies right justification for objects smaller than 64 bits.
We use a DImode register in the parallel for 5 to 7 byte structures
so that there is only one element. This allows the object to be
correctly padded. */
#define BLOCK_REG_PADDING(MODE, TYPE, FIRST) \
targetm.calls.function_arg_padding ((MODE), (TYPE))

I understand. And even for the same struct type, using how many
registers to pass a parameter, it also dependends on the size of the
parameter and how many leading parameters there is.
So, as you said, "8" or any numbers are not always accurate.
Because, the enhancement in this patch is just make "block move" to be
more friendly for follow optiomizations(cse/dse/dce...) by moving
through sub-mode. So, I just selected one arbitrary number which may
not too large and also tolerable.
I also through to query the max number registers from targets for
param/ret passing, but it may not very accurate neither.
Any sugguestions are welcome! and thanks!

Yes. We should be careful when store registers to stack
(assign_parms/assign_parm_setup_xx/block/reg), or load to returns.
For this patch, only simple stuffs are handled like "D.xxx = param_1",
where the source and dest of the assignment are all in memory which is
the DECL_RTL(of D.xx/param_xx) in MEM_P/BLK.
And to avoid complicate, this patch only handle the case where
"(size % mode_size) == 0".
If any misunderstandings, please point out, thanks.
And thanks for comments!

OK, so it's just a magic number and (in theory) any number should still
generate correct code -- the number merely places limits on when we'll
consider performing this optimization.
It may be overkill, but you might consider making it a PARAM that can be
adjusted.

How values are justified varies on the PA depending on whether the
parameter is passed in registers or in memory. Though thinking more
about things, I don't think you're changing how the parameter is passed.
Just how it's subsequently pulled out of memory.

Right.

Yes. I also feel the magic number is not perfect. I'm thinking of a way
to mark if a param is stored to stack from the register when setup, and
then reference the marker during this optimization. This would be more
accurate and able to avoid the magic number.
