Subject: [committed] Fix multiple recent sh3/sh3eb regressions
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 18:51:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dc69d060-9336-a1fd-fd9b-6bc9a024eb57@gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1592 bytes --]
So my tester started showing even more regressions on the sh3/sh4 runs
recently (beyond the one recently reported in BZ triggered by some DCE
related changes). Bisection kept showing inconsistent results. I was
starting to think memory management error, but valgrind didn't flag
anything.
After a bit of head-banging I was able to track it down to predicate
tests called from the SH specific combiner passes. And once I started
getting inside the actual code for the predicate function it became
pretty obvious. The predicate routines are supposed to return a bool,
fine and they dutifully set the low bit in %eax properly.
The *caller* was looking at the full register. Uh-oh. Naturally we
became dependent on what happened to be in the upper 31 bits of a
register. That's why the bug would come and go so willy-nilly. This was
ultimately chased down to an incorrect prototype in sh_treg_combine.cc
for predicates functions defined via define_predicate.
Removing the bogus prototypes and instead including the generated
tm-preds.h fixes this problem. I also checked the other ports for
similar problems (specifically looking for a extern int.*_operand, then
for each of the hits looking to see if the predicate was defined via
define_predicate). No other ports had similar braindamage.
This fixes the most recent regressions in my tester for sh3/sh3eb and I
strongly suspect sh4. It does not fix 107704, but I think Richi and I
both agree that's a visitation order issue and we were just getting
lucky before.
Committing to the trunk.
Jeff
