Tim Northover 677da09d02 AArch64: add support for newer Apple CPUs
They're roughly ARMv8.6. This works in the .td file, but in
AArch64TargetParser.def, marking them v8.6 brings in support for the SM4
cryptographic hash and we don't actually have that. So TargetParser side
they're marked as v8.5, with the extra features (BF16 and I8MM added manually).

Finally, A16 supports the HCX extension in addition to v8.6. This has no
TargetParser implications.

Fangrui Song 45f3a5aae7 [AArch64] Add target feature "all"
This is used by disassemblers: `llvm-mc -disassemble -mattr=` and `llvm-objdump --mattr=`.
The main use case is for llvm-objdump to disassemble all known instructions
(D128030).

In user-facing tools, "all" is intentionally not supported in producers:
integrated assembler (`.arch_extension all`), clang -march (`-march=armv9.3a+all`).
Due to the code structure, `llvm-mc -mattr=+all` `llc -mattr=+all` are not
rejected (they are internal tool). Add `llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/mattr-all.ll`
to catch behavior changes.

AArch64SysReg::SysReg::haveFeatures: check `FeatureAll` to print
`AArch64SysReg::SysReg::AltName` for some system registers (e.g. `ERRIDR_EL1, RNDR`).

AArch64.td: add `AssemblerPredicateWithAll` to additionally test `FeatureAll`.
Change all `AssemblerPredicate` (except `UseNegativeImmediates`) to `AssemblerPredicateWithAll`.

utils/TableGen/{DecoderEmitter,SubtargetFeatureInfo}.cpp: support arbitrarily
nested all_of, any_of, and not.

Note: A predicate supports all_of, any_of, and not. For a target (though
currently not for AArch64) an encoding may be disassembled differently with
different target features.
Note: AArch64MCCodeEmitter::computeAvailableFeatures is not available to
the disassembler.

David Spickett eb5ecbbcbb [llvm][AArch64] Insert "bti j" after call to setjmp
Some implementations of setjmp will end with a br instead of a ret.
This means that the next instruction after a call to setjmp must be
a "bti j" (j for jump) to make this work when branch target identification
is enabled.

The BTI extension was added in armv8.5-a but the bti instruction is in the
hint space. This means we can emit it for any architecture version as long
as branch target enforcement flags are passed.

The starting point for the hint number is 32 then call adds 2, jump adds 4.
Hence "hint #36" for a "bti j" (and "hint #34" for the "bti c" you see
at the start of functions).

The existing Arm command line option -mno-bti-at-return-twice has been
applied to AArch64 as well.

Support is added to SelectionDAG Isel and GlobalIsel. FastIsel will
defer to SelectionDAG.

Simon Tatham 54dafd38c5 [AArch64] Move FeatureSpecRestrict into core 8.0-R architecture.
It was included in HasV8_0rOps when D88660 first introduced that
architecture definition. In D118045 I moved it out of there and into
ProcessorFeatures.R82, so that -mcpu=cortex-r82 would continue to
behave the same as before but -march=armv8-r would include only the
mandatory parts of the architecture.

In fact, that was a mistake. Firstly, Cortex-R82 _doesn't_ implement
that feature, so it makes no sense to deliberately enable it for that
CPU in particular. But also, it's an extension that only adds system
registers, and we're generally more relaxed about where we enable
those (because kernel developers find it useful to write sysreg-access
instructions after runtime checking, and because sysreg accesses
aren't manufactured during code generation so the risk is small).

So, in line with that usual AArch64 policy, FeatureSpecRestrict ought
to be considered part of 8.0-R for LLVM purposes. So I'm moving it
back into HasV8_0rOps, where it started out.

Simon Tatham f302e0b5dd [AArch64] Exclude optional features from HasV8_0rOps.
The following SubtargetFeatures are removed from the definition of
HasV8_0rOps, on the grounds that they are optional in Armv8.4-A, and
therefore (by the definition of Armv8.0-R) also optional in v8.0-R:

 * performance monitoring: FeaturePerfMon
 * cryptography: FeatureSM4 and FeatureSHA3
 * half-precision FP: FeatureFullFP16, FeatureFP16FML
 * speculation control: FeatureSSBS, FeaturePredRes, FeatureSB,
   FeatureSpecRestrict

This isn't the full set of features that are listed as optional in the
spec. FeatureCCIDX and FeatureTRACEV8_4 are also optional. But LLVM
includes those in HasV8_3aOps and HasV8_4aOps respectively (I think on
the grounds that the system registers they enable are useful to be
able to access after a runtime check), and so for consistency, I've
left those in HasV8_0rOps too.

After this commit, HasV8_0rOps is a strict subset of HasV8_4aOps (but
missing features that are not in Armv8.0-R at all).

The definition of Cortex-R82 is correspondingly updated to add most of
the features that I've removed from base Armv8.0-R (with the exception
of the cryptography ones), since that particular implementation of
v8.0-R does have them.

Simon Tatham e35a3f188f [AArch64] Adding "armv8.8-a" memcpy/memset support.
This family of instructions includes CPYF (copy forward), CPYB (copy
backward), SET (memset) and SETG (memset + initialise MTE tags), with
some sub-variants to indicate whether address translation is done in a
privileged or unprivileged way. For the copy instructions, you can
separately specify the read and write translations (so that kernels
can safely use these instructions in syscall handlers, to memcpy
between the calling process's user-space memory map and the kernel's
own privileged one).

The unusual thing about these instructions is that they write back to
multiple registers, because they perform an implementation-defined
amount of copying each time they run, and write back to _all_ the
address and size registers to indicate how much remains to be done
(and the code is expected to loop on them until the size register
becomes zero). But this is no problem in LLVM - you just define each
instruction to have multiple outputs, multiple inputs, and a set of
constraints tying their register numbers together appropriately.

This commit introduces a special subtarget feature called MOPS (after
the name the spec gives to the CPU id field), which is a dependency of
the top-level 8.8-A feature, and uses that to enable most of the new
instructions. The SETMG instructions also depend on MTE (and the test
checks that).

Architecture documentation available here:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0596/2021-12/Base-Instructions/BC-cond--Branch-Consistent-conditionally-?lang=en

FEAT_HBC "Hinted Conditional Branches" is listed in the 2021 A-Profile Architecture Extensions:

'BC.cc', where 'cc' is any ordinary condition code, is an instruction
that looks exactly like B.cc (the normal conditional branch), except
that bit 4 of the encoding is 1 rather than 0, which hints something
to the branch predictor (specifically, that this branch is expected to
be highly consistent, even though _which way_ it will consistently go
is not known at compile time).

This is the first commit in a series that implements support for

boilerplate to make the 8.8-A architecture exist from LLVM and Clang's

predefined macros, and adds appropriate tests. The new architecture name
is supported in both AArch32 and AArch64.

However, in this commit, no actual _functionality_ is added as part of

Archibald Elliott 52faad83c9 [AArch64] Use Feature for A53 Erratum 835769 Fix
When this pass was originally implemented, the fix pass was enabled
using a llvm command-line flag. This works fine, except in the case of
LTO, where the flag is not passed into the linker plugin in order to
enable the function pass in the LTO backend.

Now LTO exists, the expectation now is to use target features rather
than command-line arguments to control code generation, as this ensures
that different command-line arguments in different files are correctly
represented, and target-features always get to the LTO plugin as they
are encoded into LLVM IR.

The fall-out of this change is that the fix pass has to always be added
to the backend pass pipeline, so now it makes no changes if the function
does not have the right target feature to enable it. This should make a
minimal difference to compile time.

One advantage is it's now much easier to enable when compiling for a
Cortex-A53, as CPUs imply their own individual sets of target-features,
in a more fine-grained way. I haven't done this yet, but it is an
option, if the fix should be enabled in more places.

Existing tests of the user interface are unaffected, the changes are to
reflect that the argument is now turned into a target feature.

Victor Campos 3550e242fa [Clang][ARM][AArch64] Add support for Armv9-A, Armv9.1-A and Armv9.2-A
armv9-a, armv9.1-a and armv9.2-a can be targeted using the -march option
both in ARM and AArch64.

 - Armv9-A maps to Armv8.5-A.
 - Armv9.1-A maps to Armv8.6-A.
 - Armv9.2-A maps to Armv8.7-A.
 - The SVE2 extension is enabled by default on these architectures.
 - The cryptographic extensions are disabled by default on these
 architectures.

The Armv9-A architecture is described in the Arm® Architecture Reference
Manual Supplement Armv9, for Armv9-A architecture profile
(https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0608/latest).

David Green adec922361 [AArch64] Make -mcpu=generic schedule for an in-order core
We would like to start pushing -mcpu=generic towards enabling the set of
features that improves performance for some CPUs, without hurting any
others. A blend of the performance options hopefully beneficial to all
CPUs. The largest part of that is enabling in-order scheduling using the
Cortex-A55 schedule model. This is similar to the Arm backend change
from eecb353d0e which made -mcpu=generic perform in-order scheduling
using the cortex-a8 schedule model.

The idea is that in-order cpu's require the most help in instruction
scheduling, whereas out-of-order cpus can for the most part out-of-order
schedule around different codegen. Our benchmarking suggests that
hypothesis holds. When running on an in-order core this improved
performance by 3.8% geomean on a set of DSP workloads, 2% geomean on
some other embedded benchmark and between 1% and 1.8% on a set of
singlecore and multicore workloads, all running on a Cortex-A55 cluster.

On an out-of-order cpu the results are a lot more noisy but show flat
performance or an improvement. On the set of DSP and embedded
benchmarks, run on a Cortex-A78 there was a very noisy 1% speed
improvement. Using the most detailed results I could find, SPEC2006 runs
on a Neoverse N1 show a small increase in instruction count (+0.127%),
but a decrease in cycle counts (-0.155%, on average). The instruction
count is very low noise, the cycle count is more noisy with a 0.15%
decrease not being significant. SPEC2k17 shows a small decrease (-0.2%)
in instruction count leading to a -0.296% decrease in cycle count. These
results are within noise margins but tend to show a small improvement in
general.

When specifying an Apple target, clang will set "-target-cpu apple-a7"
on the command line, so should not be affected by this change when
running from clang. This also doesn't enable more runtime unrolling like
-mcpu=cortex-a55 does, only changing the schedule used.

A lot of existing tests have updated. This is a summary of the important
differences:
 - Most changes are the same instructions in a different order.
 - Sometimes this leads to very minor inefficiencies, such as requiring
   an extra mov to move variables into r0/v0 for the return value of a test
   function.
 - misched-fusion.ll was no longer fusing the pairs of instructions it
   should, as per D110561. I've changed the schedule used in the test
   for now.
 - neon-mla-mls.ll now uses "mul; sub" as opposed to "neg; mla" due to
   the different latencies. This seems fine to me.
 - Some SVE tests do not always remove movprfx where they did before due
   to different register allocation giving different destructive forms.
 - The tests argument-blocks-array-of-struct.ll and arm64-windows-calls.ll
   produce two LDR where they previously produced an LDP due to
   store-pair-suppress kicking in.
 - arm64-ldp.ll and arm64-neon-copy.ll are missing pre/postinc on LPD.
 - Some tests such as arm64-neon-mul-div.ll and
   ragreedy-local-interval-cost.ll have more, less or just different
   spilling.
 - In aarch64_generated_funcs.ll.generated.expected one part of the
   function is no longer outlined. Interestingly if I switch this to use
   any other scheduled even less is outlined.

Some of these are expected to happen, such as differences in outlining
or register spilling. There will be places where these result in worse
codegen, places where they are better, with the SPEC instruction counts
suggesting it is not a decrease overall, on average.

Tim Northover 13aa102e07 AArch64: use ldp/stp for 128-bit atomic load/store in v.84 onwards
v8.4 says that normal loads/stores of 128-bytes are single-copy atomic if
they're properly aligned (which all LLVM atomics are) so we no longer need to
do a full RMW operation to guarantee we got a clean read.

Victor Campos 79f9c79aaf [AArch64][MC] Merge FeaturePMU into FeaturePerfMon
FeaturePMU was created in AArch64 to accommodate one missing system
register, PMMIR_EL1, in commit ffcd7698ae.

However, the Performance Monitors extension already had a target
feature, which is called FeaturePerfMon. Therefore, FeaturePMU is
redundant.

This patch removes FeaturePMU and merges its contents into
FeaturePerfMon.
