When unpacking operands on 64-bit CPUs, use a smarter mask to
help the compiler optimize the code.
It turns out that on x86_64, if we use the mask 0xFFFFUL (selecting
the 16 least significant bits), the compiler can combine a move and
a mask operation into the single insruction 'movzwl', which will
eliminate one instruction.

Not pre-fetching in conditional instructions (instructions that use
-fail_action) seems to improve performance slightly.
The reason for that is that conditional instructions may jump to the
failure label, wasting the pre-fetched instruction. Another reason
is that that many conditional instructions do a function call, and
the register pressure is therefore high. Avoiding the pre-fetch
may reduce the register pressure and pontentially result in more
efficient code.

It is currently only possible to pack up to 4 operands. However,
the move_window4 instrucion has 5 operands and move_window5 and
move3 instrucations have 6 operands.
Teach beam_makeops to pack instructions with 5 or 6 operands.
Also rewrite the move_window instructions in beam_emu.c to macros
to allow their operands to get packed.
|
|
When packing 3 operands into one word, there would be an unnecessary
mask operation when extracting the last operand.
|

The 'r' type is now mandatory. That means in order to handle
both of the following instructions:
move x(0) y(7)
move x(1) y(7)
we would need to define two specific operations in ops.tab:
move r y
move x y
We want to make 'r' operands optional. That is, if we have
only this specific instruction:
move x y
it will match both of the following instructions:
move x(0) y(7)
move x(1) y(7)
Make 'r' optional allows us to save code space when we don't
want to make handling of x(0) a special case, but we can still
use 'r' to optimize commonly used instructions.

Consider the try_case_end instruction:
try_case_end s
The 's' operand type means that the operand can either be a
literal of one of the types atom, integer, or empty list, or
a register. That worked well before R12. In R12 additional
types of literals where introduced. Because of way the
overloading was done, an 's' operand cannot handle the
new types of literals. Therefore, code such as the following
is necessary in ops.tab to avoid giving an 's' operand a
literal:
try_case_end Literal=q => move Literal x | try_case_end x
While this work, it is error-prone in that it is easy to
forget to add that kind of rule. It would also be complicated
in case we wanted to introduce a new kind of addition operator
such as:
i_plus jssd
Since there are two 's' operands, two scratch registers and
two 'move' instructions would be needed.
Therefore, we'll need to find a smarter way to find tag
register operands. We will overload the pid and port tags
for X and Y register, respectively. That works because pids
and port are immediate values (fit in one word), and there
are no literals for pids and ports.

The purpose of this series of commits is to improve code generation
for the Clang compiler.
As a first step we want to change the meaning of 'x' in a
transformation such as:
operation Literal=q => move Literal x | operation x
Currently, a plain 'x' means reg[0] or x(0), which is the first
element in the X register array. That element is distinct from
r(0) which is a variable in process_main(). Therefore, since r(0)
and x(0) are currently distinct it is fine to use x(0) as a
scratch register.
However, in the next commit we will eliminate the separate variable
for storing the contents of X register zero (thus, x(0) and r(0)
will point to the same location in the X register array). Therefore,
we must use another scratch register in transformation. Redefine
a plain 'x' in a transformation to mean x(1023). Also define
SCRATCH_X_REG so that we can refer to the register by name from
C code.

Consider an hypothetical instruction:
do_something x x c
The loader would crash if we tried to load an instance of the
instruction with the last operand referencing a literal:
{do_something,{x,0},{x,1},{literal,{a,b,c}}}
Teach beam_makeops to turn off packing for such unsafe instructions.

This has to be done in order to consistently generate the same
file so that we do not get rebuilds all the time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was not possible to preserve extra arguments in transformations.
The following (hypothetical) example will now work:
some_op Lit=c SizeArg Rest=* => move Lit x | some_op x SizeArg Rest

None of the OTP linked-in driver are supported
|
|
Both crypto and asn1 are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The sha will only be included if there is no tag
starting with OTP_R* associated with the sha. This
is because we do not want the sha to show on offical
releases.

Perl 5.16.1 (and perhaps other versions) issues the following
warning:
defined(@array) is deprecated at utils/beam_makeops line 1714.
(Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
for the following line:
$prev_last = pop(@{$gen_transform{$key}})
if defined @{$gen_transform{$key}}; # LINE 1714
The documentation for "defined" says that its use on hashes and
arrays is deprecated and that it may stop working in a future
release.
Simply removing "defined" (as suggested by the warning message)
will not work, as there will be an error when trying to use an
undefined value as an array reference:
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
utils/beam_makeops line 1714.
What we must do is to check whether $gen_transform{$key} is
defined before trying to use it as an array reference.

make_preload: Don't fail if Perl's default file encoding is UTF-8
|
|
Setting Perl's default encoding for files to UTF-8, for example
like this:
PERL_UNICODE=DS make
would crash the build with a message similar to:
form size 1413 greater than size 1237 of module at
utils/make_preload line 175, <FILE> chunk 1.
Tell Perl to interpret the data in BEAM files as binary by
using the binmode() function. The binmode() function existed
before Unicode support was added to Perl, which means that
make_preload should work even in old versions of Perl.

Calls to erlang:set_trace_pattern/3 will no longer block all
other schedulers.
We will still go to single-scheduler mode when new code is loaded
for a module that is traced, or when loading code when there is a
default trace pattern set. That is not impossible to fix, but that
requires much closer cooperation between tracing BIFs and the loader
BIFs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still does not run, just compiles.
|
|
The current calling convention for BIFs makes it necessary to
handle each arity specially, since each argument for the BIF
also becomes an argument for the C function implementing the BIF,
which makes it hard to allow BIFs with any number of arguments.
Change the calling convention for BIFs, so that BIF arguments are
passed in an array to the C function implementing the BIF.

We already avoid outputting a comment terminator ("*/") inside
a comment to avoid causing a syntax error. Also avoid outputting
the start of a comment ("/*") to avoid causing a compiler warning.

'store_var' is always followed by 'next_arg'.
|
|
'next_instr' is always followed by 'is_op'.
|
|
Since the 'new_instr' instruction always occurs before the
'store_op' instruction, we can merge the instructions into one.
Also, there is no need to include the arity of the BEAM
instruction as an operand, since the arity can be looked up
based on the opcode.
|
|
A 'call' instruction in the loader transformation language is
always followed by an 'end' instruction, so we can replace the
'call' instruction with a 'call_end' instruction.
|
|
If the left part of a transformation will always match, omit the
the 'try_me_else' and 'fail' instructions.
As part of this optimization, make it an error to have a
transformation that can never be reached because of a previous
transformation that will always match. (Remove one transformation
from ops.tab that was found to be unreachable.)
|
|
|
|
This optimization will save some space (in the loader tables) and
some loading time.
|
|
Fix the incorrect code that attempted to remove a single
'next_arg' instructions before 'next_instr'.
|
|
It is more useful to have a helper function that can test for
any instruction.
