2012-05-12Make the following changes in MipsAsmPrinter.cpp:Akira Hatanaka
- Remove code which lowers pseudo SETGP01. - Fix LowerSETGP01. The first two of the three instructions that are emitted to initialize the global pointer register now use register $2. - Stop emitting .cpload directive. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@156689 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2012-02-24Add an option to use a virtual register as the global base register instead ofAkira Hatanaka
reserving a physical register ($gp or $28) for that purpose. This will completely eliminate loads that restore the value of $gp after every function call, if the register allocator assigns a callee-saved register, or eliminate unnecessary loads if it assigns a temporary register. example: .cpload $25 // set $gp. ... .cprestore 16 // store $gp to stack slot 16($sp). ... jalr $25 // function call. clobbers $gp. lw $gp, 16($sp) // not emitted if callee-saved reg is chosen. ... lw $2, 4($gp) ... jalr $25 // function call. lw $gp, 16($sp) // not emitted if $gp is not live after this instruction. ... git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@151402 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
