 Hi,
 PR48250 happens under TARGET_NEON, where DImode is included within 
 the
 valid NEON modes. This turns the range of legitimate constant 
 indexes to
 step-4 (coproc load/store), thus arm_legitimize_reload_address() 
 when
 trying to decompose the [reg+index] reload address into
 [(reg+index_high)+index_low], can cause an ICE later when 
 'index_low'
 part is not aligned to 4.

 I'm not sure why the current DImode index is computed as:
 low = ((val & 0xf) ^ 0x8) - 0x8;  the sign-extending into negative
 values, then subtracting back, actually creates further off 
 indexes.
 e.g. in the supplied testcase, [sp+13] was turned into [(sp+16)-3].

 My patch changes the index decomposing to a more straightforward 
 way; it
 also sort of outlines the way the other reload address indexes are
 broken by using and-masks, is not the most effective.  The address 
 is
 computed by addition, subtracting away the parts to obtain low+high

 I have included a few Thumb-2 bits in the patch; I know currently
 arm_legitimize_reload_address() is only used under TARGET_ARM, but 
 I
 guess it might eventually be turned into TARGET_32BIT.

 I see it now. The code in output_move_double() returning assembly for
 ldm/stm(db/da/ib) for offsets -8/-4/+4 seems to confirm this.

 I have changed the patch to let the new code handle the TARGET_LDRD 
 case
 only.  The pre-LDRD case is still handled by the original code, with an
 additional & ~0x3 for aligning the offset to 4.

 I've also added a comment for the pre-TARGET_LDRD case. Please see if
 the description is accurate enough.

 I'll be testing the modified patch under an ARMv4/ARMv4T configuration.
 Okay for trunk if no regressions?

 I see it now. The code in output_move_double() returning assembly for
 ldm/stm(db/da/ib) for offsets -8/-4/+4 seems to confirm this.

 I have changed the patch to let the new code handle the TARGET_LDRD case
 only.  The pre-LDRD case is still handled by the original code, with an
 additional & ~0x3 for aligning the offset to 4.

 I've also added a comment for the pre-TARGET_LDRD case. Please see if
 the description is accurate enough.

 Hi,
 PR48250 happens under TARGET_NEON, where DImode is included within the

 trying to decompose the [reg+index] reload address into

 I'm not sure why the current DImode index is computed as:
 low = ((val & 0xf) ^ 0x8) - 0x8;  the sign-extending into negative
 values, then subtracting back, actually creates further off indexes.
 e.g. in the supplied testcase, [sp+13] was turned into [(sp+16)-3].

 My patch changes the index decomposing to a more straightforward way; it
 also sort of outlines the way the other reload address indexes are
 broken by using and-masks, is not the most effective.  The address is
 computed by addition, subtracting away the parts to obtain low+high
 should be the optimal way of giving the largest computable index range.

 I have included a few Thumb-2 bits in the patch; I know currently
 arm_legitimize_reload_address() is only used under TARGET_ARM, but I
 guess it might eventually be turned into TARGET_32BIT.

It is supposed to provide better utilization of the full range of
LEGAL_BIG_CONST+SMALL_LEGAL_CONST.  I am not sure, but I guess reload
will resolve it with the reg+LEGAL_BIG_CONST part only, using only (mem
(reg)) for the load/store (correct me if I'm wrong).

Also, the new code slighty improves the reloading, for example currently
[reg+64] is broken into [(reg+72)-8], creating an additional unneeded
reload, which is certainly not good when we have ldrd/strd available.

This looks technically correct, but I can't help feeling that trying to
deal with the bottom two bits being non-zero is not really worthwhile.
This hook is an optimization that's intended to generate better code
than the default mechanisms that reload provides.  It is allowed to
fail, but it must say so if it does (by returning false).

What this hook is trying to do for DImode is to take an address of the
form (reg + TOO_BIG_CONST) and turn it into two instructions that are
legitimate:

tmp = (REG + LEGAL_BIG_CONST)
some_use_of (mem (tmp + SMALL_LEGAL_CONST))

The idea behind the optimization is that LEGAL_BIG_CONST will need fewer
instructions to generate than TOO_BIG_CONST.  It's unlikely (probably
impossible in ARM state) that pushing the bottom two bits of the address
into LEGAL_BIG_CONST part of the offset is going to lead to a better
code sequence.  

So I think it would be more sensible to just return false if we have a
DImode address with the bottom 2 bits non-zero and then let the normal
reload recovery mechanism take over.

I'll be testing the modified patch under an ARMv4/ARMv4T configuration.
Okay for trunk if no regressions?

Hysterical Raisins... the code there was clearly written for the days
before we had LDRD in the architecture.  At that time the most efficient
way to load a 64-bit object was to use the LDM{ia,ib,da,db}
instructions.  The computation here was (I think), intended to try and
make the most efficient use of an add/sub instruction followed by
LDM/STM offsetting.  At that time the architecture had no unaligned
access either, so dealing with 64-bit that were less than 32-bit aligned
(in those days 32-bit was the maximum alignment) probably wasn't
considered, or couldn't even get through to reload.

I think this needs to be looked at carefully on ARMv4/ARMv4T to check
that it doesn't cause regressions there when we don't have LDRD in the
instruction set.

[patch, ARM] Fix PR48250, adjust DImode reload address legitimizing

2011-03-23 Thread Chung-Lin Tang
Hi,
PR48250 happens under TARGET_NEON, where DImode is included within the
valid NEON modes. This turns the range of legitimate constant indexes to
step-4 (coproc load/store), thus arm_legitimize_reload_address() when
trying to decompose the [reg+index] reload address into
[(reg+index_high)+index_low], can cause an ICE later when 'index_low'
part is not aligned to 4.

I'm not sure why the current DImode index is computed as:
low = ((val & 0xf) ^ 0x8) - 0x8;  the sign-extending into negative
values, then subtracting back, actually creates further off indexes.
e.g. in the supplied testcase, [sp+13] was turned into [(sp+16)-3].

My patch changes the index decomposing to a more straightforward way; it
also sort of outlines the way the other reload address indexes are
broken by using and-masks, is not the most effective.  The address is
computed by addition, subtracting away the parts to obtain low+high
should be the optimal way of giving the largest computable index range.

I have included a few Thumb-2 bits in the patch; I know currently
arm_legitimize_reload_address() is only used under TARGET_ARM, but I
guess it might eventually be turned into TARGET_32BIT.

Cross-tested on QEMU without regressions, is this okay?

Thanks,
Chung-Lin
