Using 20100918 snapshot

reduced from http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/apps/plugins/goban/sgf.c?revision=20001&view=markup

I tried to see which optimization broke with -Ox -Q --help=optimizers but the list printed doesn't seem to be complete.
Comment 1 Mikael Pettersson 2010-09-19 11:15:56 UTC
I see the same on arm-linux-gnueabi with 4.6-20100907 and 4.5-20100916.  It happens regardless of whether I pass -mcpu=arm9tdmi, -mcpu=armv5tel, or no -mcpu= at all.
Comment 2 Andrew Pinski 2010-09-20 04:52:05 UTC
What binutils version are you using?

movteq is a valid ARM v7 instruction.
Comment 3 Rafaël Carré 2010-09-20 07:24:24 UTC
I made a CVS checkout of binutils yesterday.

You're right, MOVT is supported on ARMv7 because all ARMv7 supports Thumb2,
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.qrc0001m/QRC0001_UAL.pdf
(It says "All Thumb-2 versions of ARM v6 and above" so I suppose some ARMv6 CPU supports it too)

But this instruction is emitted when an ARMv4 (mcpu=arm9tdmi) or ARMv5 (mcpu=armv5tel) CPU is used.

Do you confuse ARM7 and ARMv7 ? ;)

Only emit MOVT when targetting Thumb2

Tentative patch.

However as suggested by the original TARGET_32BIT, your comment, and the binutils message; MOVT might be valid as well when targetting ARM?

Comment 6 Mikael Pettersson 2010-09-20 10:29:52 UTC
Can you do a bisection to identify the exact commit responsible?  Looking at the original commit that introduced the movt md pattern (139881) I see a TARGET_USE_MOVT guard in the C code that _should_ prevent it from being selected on non Thumb2-capable CPUs.  If these guards are now broken then they need to be fixed.
Comment 7 Rafaël Carré 2010-09-20 11:08:00 UTC
I didn't bisect.
Did you try r139881? If I download a checkout (I'm using a snapshot) to bisect I could use this as a working starting point.

TARGET_USE_MOVT uses arm_arch_thumb2 just like my patch so it's not broken.
I double checked by adding an abort() in the 2 points where TARGET_USE_MOVT is tested in arm.c

BTW I remember seeing this error in 4.5.0 and/or 4.5.1 but I don't have the builds around to verify.
Comment 8 Mikael Pettersson 2010-09-20 12:02:46 UTC
r139881 is good.  I'll start a bisection.
Comment 9 Richard Earnshaw 2010-09-20 15:20:37 UTC
Must also be present (even if latent) on 4.5.

Comment 12 Richard Earnshaw 2010-09-20 15:36:24 UTC
Fixed in 4.5.3 and trunk.
Comment 13 Rafaël Carré 2010-09-20 15:46:22 UTC
Is there something wrong with the first hunk of the patch (arm_movt) ?

Nothing really.  I missed that bit.

I think in practice the compiler will never end up matching that pattern (as lo_sum isn't something the compiler spontaneously generates -- it means different things on each architecture that supports it, so the generic parts of the compiler will only use it if they are transforming something that already uses it), but it should probably be on the trunk version as the current code is clearly too liberal.

Comment 16 Mikael Pettersson 2010-09-20 16:37:19 UTC
FWIW, exposed on trunk by r160462 (PR44423 fix), backported to 4.5 in r160775.  But clearly the issue was latent since the movt patterns were added.
Comment 17 Ryan Hill 2010-12-26 05:45:45 UTC
Doesn't this second change also need to be on the 4.5 branch?
Comment 18 Ryan Hill 2010-12-26 08:03:51 UTC
Ignore that.
