[PATCH] [MIPS] Fix wrong instruction in the delay slot


Hi,

The attached test case that uses __builtin_unreachable in the default case
in a switch statement triggers a situation where a wrong instruction is placed
in the delay slot by the eager delay slot filler.

The issue should be reproducible with ToT compiler with -mips32r2 -G0 -mno-abicalls -O2.

It appears that a possibly related issue is already reported to Bugzilla (bug 51513)
where the branch is not optimized away, leaving the compare and branch instructions.

It would also appear that this should be fixed at the tree level, however, handling
a special case when a branch is generated, pointing to 'nowhere' block, is probably 
more suitable.

Without the fix, the generated assembly is following:

	...
	addiu   $2,$3,-3                 
	sltu    $4,$2,33                 
	.set    noreorder                
	.set    nomacro                  
	beq     $4,$0,$L22               
	lw      $4,%lo(mips_cm_is64)($4)
	.set    macro    
	.set    reorder  
                 
	sll     $4,$2,2  
	...

The load instruction should not be placed in the delay slot as it is a part of
the taken branch with an undefined behaviour. The 'sll' was expected to be in the slot.

This is a series of unfortunate events that causes this to happen:
1. After the expansion, the 'nowhere' block is placed after the switch statement and
   behaves as a fallthrough case with a diamond shape.
2. The block reordering pass randomly rearranges the nowhere block and it happens to be
   placed before the load instruction.
3. The eager delay slot filler firstly redirects jumps by skipping consecutive labels
   (ignoring barriers), pointing directly to the load. The analysis is doomed to failure at this
   stage as the own thread is analysed and the shift instruction is rejected as it uses
   conflicting resources (most likely because $4 is referenced in the load) but the opposite
   thread succeeds partly because the set and needed registers sets do not intersect when
   the resources are being computed by mark_target_live_regs ().

IMO, the fix is to recognize the empty basic block that has a code_label followed by
a barrier (ignoring notes and debug_insns), forbid going beyond the barrier if the empty block
is found in skip_consecutive_labels () and first_active_target_insn ().

The patch was cross tested on mips-img-linux-gnu and sparc-linux-gnu.


Regards,
Robert

gcc/
	* reorg.c (label_with_barrier_p): New function.
	(skip_consecutive_labels): Use it.  Don't skip the label if an empty
	block is found.
	(first_active_target_insn): Likewise.  Don't ignore the empty
	block when searching for the next active instruction.

gcc/testsuite
	* gcc.target/mips/builtin-unreachable-bug-1.c: New test.
