From: H.J. Lu @ 2021-07-20 18:50 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gcc-patches; +Cc: Richard Biener, Jeff Law, Richard Sandiford

1. Replace scalar_int_mode with fixed_size_mode in the by-pieces
infrastructure to allow non-integer mode.
2. Rename widest_int_mode_for_size to widest_fixed_size_mode_for_size
to return QI vector mode for memset.
3. Add op_by_pieces_d::smallest_fixed_size_mode_for_size to return the
smallest integer or QI vector mode.
4. Remove clear_by_pieces_1 and use builtin_memset_read_str in
clear_by_pieces to support vector mode broadcast.
5. Add lowpart_subreg_regno, a wrapper around simplify_subreg_regno that
uses subreg_lowpart_offset (mode, prev_mode) as the offset.
6. Add TARGET_GEN_MEMSET_SCRATCH_RTX to allow the backend to use a hard
scratch register to avoid stack realignment when expanding memset.

Sorry to nitpick, but I guess this might get out out-of-date.  Maybe:

I don't understand this.  Why not just do the:

      if (REG_P (prev_rtx)
	  && HARD_REGISTER_P (prev_rtx)
	  && lowpart_subreg_regno (REGNO (prev_rtx), prev_mode, mode) < 0)
        prev_rtx = copy_to_reg (prev_rtx);

that I suggested in the previous review?

IMO anything that relies on a sequence of two subreg operations is
doing something wrong.

A less cast-heavy way to write this would be:

  fixed_size_mode result = NARROWEST_INT_MODE;

  gcc_checking_assert (size > 1);

  /* Use QI vector only if size is wider than a WORD.  */
  if (qi_vector && size > UNITS_PER_WORD)
    {
      machine_mode mode;
      fixed_size_mode candidate;
      FOR_EACH_MODE_IN_CLASS (mode, MODE_VECTOR_INT)
	if (is_a<fixed_size_mode> (mode, &candidate)
	    && GET_MODE_INNER (candidate) == QImode)
	  {
	    if (GET_MODE_SIZE (candidate) >= size)
	      break;
	    if (optab_handler (vec_duplicate_optab, candidate)
		!= CODE_FOR_nothing)
	      result = candidate;
	  }

      if (result != NARROWEST_INT_MODE)

Same idea here.

I realise this is pre-existing, but the heavy use of “NB:” seems a bit odd.
I don't think it's something that the patch needs to adopt.

Otherwise it looks good, thanks.  I think the main sticking point is
the subreg thing.

But for
---
extern void *ops;

void
foo (int c)
{
  __builtin_memset (ops, c, 18);
}
---
I got

vpbroadcastb %edi, %xmm31
vmovdqa64 %xmm31, -24(%rsp)
movq ops(%rip), %rax
movzwl -24(%rsp), %edx
vmovdqu8 %xmm31, (%rax)
movw %dx, 16(%rax)
ret

I want to avoid store and load.  I am testing

      if (REG_P (prev_rtx)
          && HARD_REGISTER_P (prev_rtx)
          && lowpart_subreg_regno (REGNO (prev_rtx), prev_mode, mode) < 0)
        {
          /* Find the smallest subreg mode in the same mode class which
             is not narrower than MODE and narrower than PREV_MODE.  */
          machine_mode m;
          fixed_size_mode candidate;
          FOR_EACH_MODE_IN_CLASS (m, GET_MODE_CLASS (mode))
            if (is_a<fixed_size_mode> (m, &candidate))
              {
                if (GET_MODE_SIZE (candidate)
                    >= GET_MODE_SIZE (prev_mode))
                  break;
                if (GET_MODE_SIZE (candidate) >= GET_MODE_SIZE (mode)
                    && lowpart_subreg_regno (REGNO (prev_rtx),
                                             prev_mode, candidate) >= 0)
                  {
                    target = lowpart_subreg (candidate, prev_rtx,
                                             prev_mode);
                    prev_rtx = target;
                    prev_mode = candidate;
                    break;
                  }
              }
          if (target == nullptr)
            prev_rtx = copy_to_reg (prev_rtx);
        }

to get

movq ops(%rip), %rax
vpbroadcastb %edi, %xmm31
vmovd %xmm31, %edx
movw %dx, 16(%rax)
vmovdqu8 %xmm31, (%rax)

That doesn't seem better though.  There are still two subregs involved.

What does the pre-RA RTL look like for the code that you want?

Since a hard register is used, there is only one subreg generated:

(insn 7 6 8 2 (set (reg:QI 85)
        (subreg:QI (reg/v:SI 83 [ c ]) 0)) "s2a.i":6:3 77 {*movqi_internal}
     (nil))
(insn 8 7 9 2 (set (reg:V16QI 67 xmm31)
        (vec_duplicate:V16QI (reg:QI 85))) "s2a.i":6:3 5165 {*avx512vl_vec_dup_g
prv16qi}
     (nil))
(insn 9 8 10 2 (set (mem:V16QI (reg/f:DI 84) [0 MEM <char[1:18]> [(void *)ops.0_

WIth my code,  I got

(insn 8 6 9 2 (set (reg:V16QI 67 xmm31)
        (vec_duplicate:V16QI (subreg:QI (reg:SI 86) 0))) "s2a.i":6:3

     (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 86)
        (nil)))
(insn 9 8 10 2 (set (mem:V16QI (reg/f:DI 84 [ ops ]) [0 MEM
<char[1:18]> [(void *)ops.0_1]+0 S16 A8])
        (reg:V16QI 67 xmm31)) "s2a.i":6:3 1574 {movv16qi_internal}
     (nil))
(insn 10 9 0 2 (set (mem:HI (plus:DI (reg/f:DI 84 [ ops ])
                (const_int 16 [0x10])) [0 MEM <char[1:18]> [(void

        (subreg:HI (reg:SI 67 xmm31) 0)) "s2a.i":6:3 76 {*movhi_internal}

        (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 67 xmm31)
            (nil))))

With copy_to_reg, I got

(insn 8 6 9 2 (set (reg:V16QI 67 xmm31)
        (vec_duplicate:V16QI (subreg:QI (reg:SI 87) 0))) "s2a.i":6:3

        (reg:V16QI 67 xmm31)) "s2a.i":6:3 1574 {movv16qi_internal}

Actually, I take that back.  I guess it does make sense, and is
definitely better than hard-coding word_mode.  How about a comment
along the lines of the following, instead of the one above:

           /* This case occurs when PREV_MODE is a vector and when
	      MODE is too small to store using vector operations.
	      After register allocation, the code will need to move the
	      lowpart of the vector register into a non-vector register.

	      Also, the target has chosen to use a hard register
	      instead of going with the default choice of using a
	      pseudo register.  We should respect that choice and try to
	      avoid creating a pseudo register with the same mode as the
	      current hard register.

	      In principle, we could just use a lowpart MODE subreg of
	      the vector register.  However, the vector register mode might
	      be too wide for non-vector registers, and we already know
	      that the non-vector mode is too small for vector registers.
	      It's therefore likely that we'd need to spill to memory in
	      the vector mode and reload the non-vector value from there.

	      Try to avoid that by reducing the vector register to the
	      smallest size that it can hold.  This should increase the
	      chances that non-vector registers can hold both the inner
	      and outer modes of the subreg that we generate later.  */

Thanks,
Richard
