2016-09-05hipe: Refactor ra callbacks to accept context argMagnus Lång
This allows us to pass around the context data that hipe_regalloc_prepass needs cleanly, without using process dictionary or parameterised modules (like it was previous to this change).
2016-09-02hipe_x86: Add code rewrite RA callbacksMagnus Lång
These will not only be useful for hipe_regalloc_prepass, but also, after the introduction of a mk_move/2 (or similar) callback, for the purpose of range splitting. Since the substitution needed to case over all the instructions, a new module, hipe_x86_subst, was introduced to the x86 backend. Due to differences in the 'jtab' field of a #jmp_switch{} between x86 and amd64, it regrettably needed to be duplicated to hipe_amd64_subst.
2016-09-02hipe: Remove defun_to_cfg/1 RA callbackMagnus Lång
Now that all backends do register allocation on a CFG directly and define the defun_to_cfg/1 callback as the identity function, it can be removed.
2016-09-02hipe: Add hipe_regalloc_prepassMagnus Lång
hipe_regalloc_prepass speeds up register allocation by spilling any temp that is live over a call (which clobbers all register). In order to detect these, a new function was added to the target interface; defines_all_alloc/1, that takes an instruction and returns a boolean.
2016-08-30hipe_x86: Minimise CFG<->linear conversionsMagnus Lång
Most x86 passes were either linearise(pass(to_cfg(Code))) or trivially rewritable to process a CFG. This saves a great deal of time and memory churn when compiling large programs. Now, there will only ever be a single Linear->CFG conversion, just after lowering from RTL, and only ever a single CFG->Linear conversion, just before the finalise pass. Both of these now happen in hipe_x86_main.
