Build on Jordan's patch to allow direct branching and USE_REG_TB to co-exist. Use the power9 addpcis wherever pc-relative addrs might be handy. Merge in my power10 patches for prefixed insns.
Finish up with an RFC to disable TCG_REG_TB for power9+, when pc-relative code sequences exist. I've only lightly tested this, and it seems to increase code size by a few insns per TB. It really depends on how much we end up using the constant pool. Changes for v4: * Fix tcg_out_addpcis. * Drop RFC from the final patch. Jordan's testing suggests that pc-relative addressing is slightly better than tb-relative. I can imagine that addpcis+ld might be fused in the pipeline to an absolute 64-bit address, and so has no real cost. r~ Jordan Niethe (1): tcg/ppc: Enable direct branching tcg_out_goto_tb with TCG_REG_TB Richard Henderson (12): tcg/ppc: Untabify tcg-target.c.inc tcg/ppc: Reinterpret tb-relative to TB+4 tcg/ppc: Use ADDPCIS in tcg_out_tb_start tcg/ppc: Use ADDPCIS in tcg_out_movi_int tcg/ppc: Use ADDPCIS for the constant pool tcg/ppc: Use ADDPCIS in tcg_out_goto_tb tcg/ppc: Use PADDI in tcg_out_movi tcg/ppc: Use prefixed instructions in tcg_out_mem_long tcg/ppc: Use PLD in tcg_out_movi for constant pool tcg/ppc: Use prefixed instructions in tcg_out_dupi_vec tcg/ppc: Use PLD in tcg_out_goto_tb tcg/ppc: Disable TCG_REG_TB for Power9/Power10 tcg/ppc/tcg-target.c.inc | 277 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 236 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1
