[Removing Jeff Law since middle end code hasn't changed]

Hi,

Given how memory operand are reloaded even with an X constraint, I've
reworked the patch for the combined set and combined test instruction
ot keep the mem out of the match_operand and used an expander to
generate the right instruction pattern. I've also fixed some
longstanding issues with the patch when flag_pic is true and with
constraints for Thumb-1 that I hadn't noticed before due to using
dg-cmp-results in conjunction with test_summary which does not show
NA->FAIL (see [1]).

All in all, I think the Arm code would do with a fresh review rather
than looking at the changes since last posted version. (unchanged)
ChangeLog entries are as follows:

*** gcc/ChangeLog ***

2018-08-09  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@linaro.org>

    * target-insns.def (stack_protect_combined_set): Define new standard
    pattern name.
    (stack_protect_combined_test): Likewise.
    * cfgexpand.c (stack_protect_prologue): Try new
    stack_protect_combined_set pattern first.
    * function.c (stack_protect_epilogue): Try new
    stack_protect_combined_test pattern first.
    * config/arm/arm.c (require_pic_register): Add pic_reg and compute_now
    parameters to control which register to use as PIC register and force
    reloading PIC register respectively.  Insert in the stream of insns if
    possible.
    (legitimize_pic_address): Expose above new parameters in prototype and
    adapt recursive calls accordingly.  Use pic_reg if non null instead of
    cached one.
    (arm_load_pic_register): Add pic_reg parameter and use it if non null.
    (arm_legitimize_address): Adapt to new legitimize_pic_address
    prototype.
    (thumb_legitimize_address): Likewise.
    (arm_emit_call_insn): Adapt to require_pic_register prototype change.
    (arm_expand_prologue): Adapt to arm_load_pic_register prototype change.
    (thumb1_expand_prologue): Likewise.
    * config/arm/arm-protos.h (legitimize_pic_address): Adapt to prototype
    change.
    (arm_load_pic_register): Likewise.
    * config/arm/predicated.md (guard_addr_operand): New predicate.
    (guard_operand): New predicate.
    * config/arm/arm.md (movsi expander): Adapt to legitimize_pic_address
    prototype change.
    (builtin_setjmp_receiver expander): Adapt to thumb1_expand_prologue
    prototype change.
    (stack_protect_combined_set): New expander..
    (stack_protect_combined_set_insn): New insn_and_split pattern.
    (stack_protect_set_insn): New insn pattern.
    (stack_protect_combined_test): New expander.
    (stack_protect_combined_test_insn): New insn_and_split pattern.
    (stack_protect_test_insn): New insn pattern.
    * config/arm/unspecs.md (UNSPEC_SP_SET): New unspec.
    (UNSPEC_SP_TEST): Likewise.
    * doc/md.texi (stack_protect_combined_set): Document new standard
    pattern name.
    (stack_protect_set): Clarify that the operand for guard's address is
    legal.
    (stack_protect_combined_test): Document new standard pattern name.
    (stack_protect_test): Clarify that the operand for guard's address is
    legal.

*** gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog ***

2018-07-05  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@linaro.org>

    * gcc.target/arm/pr85434.c: New test.

Testing: Bootstrap and regression testing for Arm, Thumb-1 and Thumb-2
with (i) default flags, (ii) an extra -fstack-protect-all and (iii)
-fPIC -fstack-protect-all. A glibc build and testsuite run was also
performed for Arm and Thumb-2. Default flags show no regression and
the other runs have some expected scan-assembler failing (due to stack
protector or fPIC code sequence), as well as guality fail (due to less
optimized code with the new stack protector code) and some execution
failures in sibcall-9 and sibcall-10 under -fPIC -fstack-protector-all
due to the PIC sequence for the global variable making the frame
layout different for the 2 functions (these become PASS if making the
global variable static).

Is this ok for trunk?

Best regards,

Thomas

Issues were due to unconditionally attempting to generate the new patterns. The code now tests if there is a pattern for them for the target before generating them. In the ARM side of the patch, I've also added a more specific predicate for the new patterns. The new patch is found below.
