[PATCH v9 4/4] ree: Improve ree pass for rs6000 target using defined ABI interfaces

[PATCH v9 4/4] ree: Improve ree pass for rs6000 target using defined ABI interfaces

[Ajit Agarwal]

Hello All:

This version 9 of the patch uses abi interfaces to remove zero and sign extension elimination.
Bootstrapped and regtested on powerpc-linux-gnu.

In this version (version 9) of the patch following review comments are incorporated.

a) Removal of hard code zero_extend and sign_extend  in abi interfaces.
b) Source and destination with different registers are considered.
c) Further enhancements.
d) Added sign extension elimination using abi interfaces.


Thanks & Regards
Ajit

ree: Improve ree pass for rs6000 target using defined abi interfaces

For rs6000 target we see redundant zero and sign extension and done
to improve ree pass to eliminate such redundant zero and sign extension
using defined ABI interfaces.

As has been trend in the past, I don't think all the review comments 
have been addressed.
The standard practice is to reply to reviewer's email and say yay/nay 
explicitly to each comment. Some of my comments in [1a] are still not 
resolved, importantly the last two. To be fair you did reply [1b] but 
the comments were not addressed explicitly.

[1a] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-September/630814.html
[1b] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-September/630865.html

Anyhow I gave this a try for RISC-V, specially after [2a][2b] as I was 
curious to see if this uncovers REE handling extraneous extensions which 
could potentially be eliminated in Expand itself, which is generally 
better as it happens earlier in the pipeline.

[2a] 2023-10-16 8eb9cdd14218 expr: don't clear SUBREG_PROMOTED_VAR_P 
flag for a promoted subreg [target/111466]
[2b] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-October/631818.html

Bad news is with the patch, we fail to even bootstrap risc-v, buckles 
over when building libgcc itself.

The reproducer is embarrassingly simple, build with -O2:

float a;
b() { return a; }

See details below....

Is this early exit OK ? It skips a subsequent apply_change_group() call 
which could potentially fail and thus extension would be undone.
And even for the passing case, we do want those instructions to be 
merged normally. So I don't understand how this change is useful at all ?

FWIW for my test, w/o the patch: apply_change_group would fail (likely 
missing some combine pattern) and undo the merge. However w/ patch we 
just return/continue, keeping the merged but invalid insn which ICE in 
next pass cprop_hardreg as failure to recog that insn.

Some more details in case you are curious:

Coming into REE we have

(insn 7 6 13 2 (set (reg:SI 10 a0 [136])  #DEF
         (fix:SI (reg:SF 47 fa5 [orig:138 a ] [138])))
                  {fix_truncsfsi2}

(insn 13 7 14 2 (set (reg/i:DI 10 a0)    # extension
         (sign_extend:DI (reg:SI 10 a0 [136])))
                  {extendsidi2}

These are merged into unrecog insn as of now:

(insn 7 6 14 2 (set (reg:DI 10 a0)
         (sign_extend:DI (fix:SI (reg:SF 47 fa5 [orig:138 a ] [138]))))

I have addressed the last 2 comments in the version 10 of the patch. Please let me know if there
is anything missing. Regarding last comments with a providing different tests if you have any suggestions please 
let me know.

And apart from that, may I ask if this is just me, or does anybody else think that it might be worthwhile to actually read a patch before (re-)posting?

Seeing e.g. the proposed abi_extension_candidate_p as written in a first POC would deserve some manual CSE, if nothing more then for clarity and conciseness?

Just curious from a meta perspective..

And:

>> ree: Improve ree pass for rs6000 target using defined abi interfaces

mentioning powerpc like this, and then changing generic code could be interpreted as misleading, IMHO.

Mentioning powerpc in the body as one of the affected target(s) is of course fine.

, false otherwise.

As said, I don't see why the below was not cleaned up before the V1 submission.
Iff it breaks when manually CSEing, I'm curious why?

As said, please also rephrase the above (and everything else if it obviously looks akin the above).

The rest, mentioned below,  should largely be covered by following the coding convention.

Singular register.

Debug leftover.
I would probably have inlined this function manually, with a respective comment.
Did not look how often it is used, admittedly.

Pre-existing, I know.
But you could fix those in a preparatory patch while you touch surrounding code.
This is not a requirement, of course, just good habit, IMHO.

Also in a lot of other spots in your patch.
Please read the coding conventions and the patch, once again, before submission?

The function below looks identical in v12 of the patch.

Using CSE here breaks aarch64 regressions hence I have reverted it back

Just for my own education, can you please paste your patch perusing common subexpressions and an assembly diff of the failing versus working aarch64 testcase, along how you configured that failing (cross-?)compiler and the command-line of a typical testcase that broke when manually CSEing the function below?

I might have not completely understood the subtile intricacies of RTL re-entrancy, it seems?

Here is the abi interface where I CSE'D and got a mail from automated regressions run that aarch64
test fails.

static inline bool
abi_extension_candidate_return_reg_p (int regno)
{
  if (targetm.calls.function_value_regno_p (regno))
    return true;

  return false;
}

+static inline bool
+abi_extension_candidate_return_reg_p (int regno)
+{
+  return targetm.calls.function_value_regno_p (regno);
+}


I have not done any assembly diff as myself have not cross compiled with aarch64.
Reverting above CSE the tests passes with automatically regression runs and build with linaro.
Linaro runs the tests with every patch we submit in gcc-patches and if there is any fail they 
report error.

Reverting CSE the Linaro tests passes.

Thanks & Regards

If nothing else it would hopefully improve the readability.

We already concluded that this failure was obviously a hiccup on the
testers, no problem.

But i was referring to abi_extension_candidate_p :)

your v13 looks like this:

+static bool
+abi_extension_candidate_p (rtx_insn *insn)
+{
+  rtx set = single_set (insn);
+  machine_mode dst_mode = GET_MODE (SET_DEST (set));
+  rtx orig_src = XEXP (SET_SRC (set), 0);
+
+  if (!FUNCTION_ARG_REGNO_P (REGNO (orig_src))
+      || abi_extension_candidate_return_reg_p (REGNO (orig_src)))
+    return false;
+
+  /* Return FALSE if mode of destination and source is same.  */
+  if (dst_mode == GET_MODE (orig_src))
+    return false;
+
+  machine_mode mode = GET_MODE (XEXP (SET_SRC (set), 0));
+  bool promote_p = abi_target_promote_function_mode (mode);
+
+  /* Return FALSE if promote is false and REGNO of source and destination
+     is different.  */
+  if (!promote_p && REGNO (SET_DEST (set)) != REGNO (orig_src))
+    return false;
+
+  return true;
+}

and i suppose it would be easier to read if phrased something like

static bool
abi_extension_candidate_p (rtx_insn *insn)
{
  rtx set = single_set (insn);
  rtx orig_src = XEXP (SET_SRC (set), 0);
  unsigned int src_regno = REGNO (orig_src);

  /* Not a function argument reg or is a function values return reg.  */
  if (!FUNCTION_ARG_REGNO_P (src_regno)
      || abi_extension_candidate_return_reg_p (src_regno))
    return false;

  rtx dst = SET_DST (set);
  machine_mode src_mode = GET_MODE (orig_src);

  /* Return FALSE if mode of destination and source is the same.  */
  if (GET_MODE (dst) == src_mode)
    return false;

  /* Return FALSE if the FIX THE COMMENT and REGNO of source and destination
     is different.  */
  if (!abi_target_promote_function_mode_p (src_mode)
      && REGNO (dst) != src_regno)
    return false;

  return true;
}

so no, that's not exactly better.

Maybe just do what the function comment says (i did not check the "not
promoted" part, but you get the idea):

^L

/* Return TRUE if
   reg source operand is argument register and not return register,
   mode of source and destination operand are different,
   if not promoted REGNO of source and destination operand are the same.  */
static bool
abi_extension_candidate_p (rtx_insn *insn)
{
  rtx set = single_set (insn);
  rtx orig_src = XEXP (SET_SRC (set), 0);

  if (FUNCTION_ARG_REGNO_P (REGNO (orig_src))
      && !abi_extension_candidate_return_reg_p (REGNO (orig_src))
      && GET_MODE (SET_DST (set)) != GET_MODE (orig_src)
      && abi_target_promote_function_mode_p (GET_MODE (orig_src))
      && REGNO (SET_DST (set)) == REGNO (orig_src))
    return true;

  return false;
}

I think this is much easier to actually read (and that's why good
function comments are important). In the end it's not important and
just personal preference.
Either way, I did not check the plausibility of the logic therein.

This may have been my doing as I asked to split out the logic as some of 
the conditions merit more commentary.
e.g. why does the mode need to be same
But granted this is the usual coding style in gcc and the extra comments 
could still be added before the big if

Here is the abi interface where I CSE'D and got a mail from automated regressions run that aarch64
test fails.

static inline bool
abi_extension_candidate_return_reg_p (int regno)
{
  if (targetm.calls.function_value_regno_p (regno))
    return true;

  return false;
}

+static inline bool
+abi_extension_candidate_return_reg_p (int regno)
+{
+  return targetm.calls.function_value_regno_p (regno);
+}


I have not done any assembly diff as myself have not cross compiled with aarch64.
Reverting above CSE the tests passes with automatically regression runs and build with linaro.
Linaro runs the tests with every patch we submit in gcc-patches and if there is any fail they 
report error.

Reverting CSE the Linaro tests passes.

Again you are not paying attention to prior comments about fixing your 
submission practice and like some of the prior reviewers I'm starting to 
get tired, despite potentially good technical content.

1. The commentary above is NOT part of changelog. Either use a separate 
cover letter or add patch version change history between two "---" lines 
just before the start of code diff. And keep accumulating those as you 
post new versions. See [1]. This is so reviewers knwo what changed over 
10 months and automatically gets dropped when patch is eventually 
applied/merged into tree.

2. Acknowledge (even if it is yes) each and every comment of the 
reviewerw explicitly inline below. That ensures you don't miss 
addressing a change since this forces one to think about each of them.

I do have some technical comments which I'll follow up with later.
Just a short summary that v10 indeed bootstraps risc-v but I don't see 
any improvements at all - as in whenever abi interfaces code identifies 
and extension (saw missing a definition, the it is not able to eliminate 
any extensions despite the patch.
