{Load,Store}RegisterSRA always loads or stores GPRSize. 8-bit and 16-bit
are vestigial and all OpcodeDispatcher usage will load the full GPR size
(32-bit or 64-bit) and then extract or insert as necessary.
This cleans up a few bits of codegen in InstCountCI.
This leaves us with two temporary vectors that the JIT can use.
As of last month we stopped using v2 and v3 as temporaries and these can
now be given back to the JIT.
Ensures that the registers are still sequentially ordered and adds
support for spilling the FPR counts that are aligned by 2 instead of 4.
Adds a couple of instructions to filling and spilling but isn't that big
of an issue.
InstcountCI has some ridiculously large changes just because RA is
starting at a new register number.
When flags are invalidated but we're going to insert a new flag we end
up in a situation where we loaded the prior value from memory, claimed
unknown cache status (they were all invalid!), and then did an insert.
These instructions set all the flags to undefined and moves the
resulting bit in to CF. No need to calculate the deferred flags when
we are about to write over them.
Arm64 store with writeback when source register is the same register as
the address is undefined behaviour.
Depending on hardware details this can do a whole bunch of things.
This situation happens when the x86 code does `push rsp` which is quite
common for applications to do. We would then convert this to a `str x8, [x8, #-8]!`
Which results in undefined behaviour.
Now that redundant loads are optimized this showed up as an issue. Adds
a unit test to ensure we don't hit this again.
When the destination overlaps one of the sources we must be careful to
follow a movprfx rule.
```
The destination register must not refer to architectural register state
referenced by any other source operand register of this instruction.
```
We ended up in a situation in the vpmulh{u,}w AVX tests where zm was
overlapping the destination which violated that rule. This also
generated invalid code for this instruction.
```
[INFO] movprfx z6, z4
[INFO] umulh z6.h, p6/m, z6.h, z6.h
```
As seen, we were overwriting one of the sources because the destination
overlapped it. Now instead check if each individual overlap so invalid
code isn't generated.
InstCountCI results aren't affected since this only happens in
situations with multiple instructions.
Now that the RCLSE pass finally optimizes redundant loads again this
optimization that lives in the OpcodeDispatcher can be removed.
With InstCountCI reran, the pblendvb results don't change at all, as
expected.
This is taking steps to start fixing RCLSE which was started by #2700.
Same situation as that PR, since #2170 when we converted
{Load,Store}Context in to {Load,Store}Register we broke this pass
entirely. It hasn't been doing anything for redundant GPRs and FPRs
since at least November of last year.
Technically it was potentially still optimizing redundant MMX
accesses, but it is so broken that it doesn't matter.
Instead of going all in like #2700 did, tear down the pass and start
again. We are now /only/ optimizing redundant context/register loads.
This fixes an issue that comes up commonly where the same register used
as sources was getting loaded twice, causing redundant moves.
`packsswb xmm0, xmm0` for example was generating a four instruction
sequence instead of three instructions because we weren't eliminating
the redundant load.
Going to take reimplementing all the optimizations that this pass does
in steps. This way we can track any regression in the independent steps
unlike what happened in #2700.
Confirmed that Proton/Sonic Mania still works after this.
It turns out that pure SSA isn't a great choice for the sort of emulation we do.
On one hand, it discards information from the guest binary's register allocation
that would let us skip stuff. On the other hand, it doesn't have nearly as many
benefits in this setting as in a traditional compiler... We really *don't* want
to do global RA or really any global optimization. We assume the guest optimizer
did its job for x86, we just need to clean up the mess left from going x86 ->
arm. So we just need enough SSA to peephole optimize.
My concrete IR proposals are that:
* SSA values must be killed in the same block that they are defined.
* Explicit LoadGPR/StoreGPR instructions can be used for global persistence.
* LoadGPR/StoreGPR are eliminated in favour of SSA within a block.
This has a lot of nice properties for our setting:
* Except for some internal REP instruction emulation (etc), we already have
registers for everything that escapes block boundaries, so this form is very
easy to go into -- straightforward local value numbering, not a full into
SSA pass.
* Spilling is entirely local (if it happens at all), since everything is in
registers at block boundaries. This is excellent, because Belady's algorithm
lets us spill nearly optimally in linear-time for individual blocks. (And
the global version of Belady's algorithm is massively more complicated...)
A nice fit for a JIT.
Relatedly, it turns out allowing spilling is probably a decent decision,
since the same spiller code can be used to rematerialize constants in a
straightforward way. This is an issue with the current RA.
* Register assignment is entirely local. For the same reason, we can assign
registers "optimally" in linear time & memory (e.g. with linear scan). And
the impl is massively simpler than a full blown SSA-based tree scan RA. For
example, we don't have to worry about parallel copies or coalescing phis or
anything. Massively nicer algorithm to deal with.
* SSA value names can be block local which makes the validation implicit :~)
It also has remarkably few drawbacks, because we didn't want to do CFG global
optimization anyway given our time budget and the diminishng returns. The few
global optimizations we might want (flag escape analysis?) don't necessarily
benefit from pure SSA anyway.
Anyway, we explicitly don't want phi nodes in any of this. They're currently
unused. Let's just remove them so nobody gets the bright idea of changing that.

Now the calculation of PF is entirely deferred, by inverting our internal
representation of PF. All the (e.g.) logical op needs to do is store the low
8-bits of the result.
This is a bit of a mixed bag. Primary ALU ops all save an instruction, by
skip the XOR. Loading PF takes an extra instruction, that's expected. The tricky
cases are:
* Zeroing PF. This now requires writing 1 instead of 0, which may require an
extra move for the constant. Some of this will go away when we merge PF+AF
into a single register, which is next up on the list. In that case, the
two stores will turn into 1 `or`. So if we need to write a 1 to PF (zeroing
x86 view of PF), that will get absorbed into the or, if we also write AF. If
we leave AF undefined and need to write a 1, that's a single mov instruction
and we couldn't do better anyway if not inverted (since we'd still have a mov
wzr even then). So in view of the future work, this isn't something I'm
concerned about.
* Float comparisons that put Unordered into PF. These require an extra invert to
match the new convention. These are already so unnecessarily bloated that I'm
not convinced I'm making things materially worse here. But we realistically
need multiple destination support in the IR to fix this particular mess.

Now that PF calculation is deferred, the cost of calculating PF correctly should
be tolerable. Remove the speed hack to skip PF. It's fundamentally broken, and
there are enough broken things in FEX as it is that we don't need to maintain
this one ;-)

AF is calculated as:
((Src1 ^ Src2) ^ Res)[4]
Due to the extract, this is equivalent to
((Src1 ^ Src2) ^ (Res ^ 1))[4]
We already store (Res ^ 1) as the PF byte. So, it suffices to store
AF Byte = Src1 ^ Src2
and then we can recover the flag value
AF = (AF Byte ^ PF Byte)[4]
This saves an instruction from the AF calculation. It does couple PF/AF writes.
In practice, most instructions fall into one of these categories:
* Both PF and AF written together, the coupling is correct.
* PF written but AF invalidated, irrelevant.
* Both invalidated, irrelevant.
None of these require special handling. Where we do need special handling is
when we want to write them separately, in which case we can fix-up the value of
AF as appropriate.

Use an explicit invalidate, so we can zero easily enough if we need to for
debugging later but we can save the instrs ordinarily.

The AF calculation is a Bfe of an XOR result. We can't defer the XOR (since it
combines multiple inputs into one), but we can & should defer the Bfe. Since AF
is written much more often than it is read, this should come out ahead.

For now these are trivial to let us refactor without functional changes. Later
in this series, they will be made nontrivial to let us defer AF calculation.

FEX has a problem with large blocks that uses a ton of constants spread
throughout the block. Once a block gets large enough with enough
constants that have large live ranges, FEX slows down to unusable speeds
due to the register allocator spending more time calculating node
interferences than anything else in the program.
This adds a little heuristic to ensure that constants aren't reused if
the previous value is past a certain distance threshold. This threshold
works well enough that XeSS's pedantic initialization code doesn't have
issues now. See https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/issues/2688 for more
information about that.
FEX itself should work to remove bad constant usages to make this pass
less necessary anyway. In most cases we are materializing duplicated 0,
1, and masks which could be done without a constant entirely.
Maybe once we've improve that enough we could remove this constant
pooling entirely.
To note, this doesn't fix the issue that XeSS causes our register
allocator, this is purely a heuristic workaround.
This class is very expensive to initialize so if you happen to have the
disassembler configuration enabled you were eating a very bad
initialization cost for no reason.
Only initialize the data member if any disassembler runtime option is
enabled, this completely removes the overhead.
With Or, Orlshl, Bfe, and Bfi there were some assumptions made that i8
and i16 operations made sense. Which required us to disable the IR
validation for these operations when it was just added.
This removes the final assumptions about these IR operations supporting
these small operating sizes allowing us to enable the IR validation.
Also a very minor optimization by moving a couple extracts from source
before trying to BFI from it, making RA more optimal.
When moving everything away from implicit size handling, I kept this the
same codegen even though it was uglier.
Now that implicit stuff is mostly done, switch this over to 32-bit
operations. The behaviour of these changes is no functional change, just
cleans up the operations.
Currently in main today, FEX fails to compact OF/CF/ZF/SF and PF.
This is due to recent optimizations with flag calculations on each of
these. Now that we have a centralized location where we compact and set
our internal representation of flags we can do this in one location.
The FXSAVE and FSAVE tag words are written out in different formats,
with FXSAVE using an abridged version that lacks the zero/special/valid
distinction. Switch to using this abridged version internally for
simplicity, and to allow the calculation of zero/special/valid
distinction to be deferred until an fxsave instruction (in the future,
currently the distinction is ignored and only valid/empty states are
possible).
Currently FEX's internal EFLAGS representation is a perfect 1:1 mapping
between bit offset and byte offset. This is going to change with #3038.
There should be no reason that the frontend needs to understand how to
reconstruct the compacted flags from the internal representation.
Adds context helpers and moves all the logic to FEXCore. The locations
that previously needed to handle this have been converted over to use
this.
32-bit or 64-bit addition without carry-in. This matches the baseline hardware
semantic. Generalizing to support other cases can come later, this should be a
win already.
