[PATCH 6/6] [ARC] Reimplement return padding operation for ARC700.

Claudiu Zissulescu claziss@gmail.com
Mon May 21 10:19:00 GMT 2018


From: Claudiu Zissulescu <claziss@synopsys.com>

For ARC700, adding padding if necessary to avoid a mispredict.  A
return could happen immediately after the function start.  A
call/return and return/return must be 6 bytes apart to avoid
mispredict.

The old implementation was doing this operation very late in the
compilation process, and the additional nop instructions and/or
forcing some other instruction to take their long form was not taken
into account when generating brcc instructions. Thus, wrong code could
be generated.

Ok to apply?

2017-03-24  Claudiu Zissulescu  <claziss@synopsys.com>

	* config/arc/arc-protos.h (arc_pad_return): Remove.
	* config/arc/arc.c (machine_function): Remove force_short_suffix
	and size_reason.
	(arc_print_operand): Adjust printing of '&'.
	(arc_verify_short): Remove conditional printing of short suffix.
	(arc_final_prescan_insn): Remove reference to size_reason.
	(pad_return): New function.
	(arc_reorg): Call pad_return.
	(arc_pad_return): Remove.
	(arc_init_machine_status): Remove reference to force_short_suffix.
	* config/arc/arc.md (vunspec): Add VUNSPEC_ARC_BLOCKAGE.
	(attr length): When attribute iscompact is true force to 2
	regardless; in the case of maybe check if we want to force the
	instruction to have 4 bytes length.
	(nopv): Change it to generate 4 byte long nop as well.
	(blockage): New pattern.
	(simple_return): Remove call to arc_pad_return.
	(p_return_i): Likewise.
