Many thanks to Thomas Schwinge for confirming my hypothesis that the
register
usage regression, PR target/104345, is solely due to libgcc's _muldc3
function.
In addition to the isinf functionality in the previously proposed nvptx
patch at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-January/588453.html which
significantly reduces the number of instructions in _muldc3, the patch below
further reduces both the number of instructions and the number of explicitly
declared registers, by permitting floating point constant immediate operands
in nvptx's copysign instruction.
Fingers-crossed, the combination with all of the previous proposed nvptx
patches improves things. Ultimately, increasing register usage from 50 to
51 registers, reducing the number of concurrent threads by ~2%, can easily
be countered if we're now executing significantly fewer instructions in each
kernel, for a net performance win.
This patch has been tested on nvptx-none hosted on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
with a "make" and "make -k check" with no new failures. Ok for mainline?
LGTM, applied.
Thanks,
- Tom
