[AArch64][SME] Support split ZPR and PPR area allocationusers/MacDue/split_pprs
For a while we have supported the `-aarch64-stack-hazard-size=<size>`
option, which adds "hazard padding" between GPRs and FPR/ZPRs. However,
there is currently a hole in this mitigation as PPR and FPR/ZPR accesses
to the same area also cause streaming memory hazards (this is noted by
`-pass-remarks-analysis=sme -aarch64-stack-hazard-remark-size=<val>`),
and the current stack layout places PPRs and ZPRs within the same area.
Which looks like:
------------------------------------ Higher address
| callee-saved gpr registers |
|---------------------------------- |
| lr,fp (a.k.a. "frame record") |
|-----------------------------------| <- fp(=x29)
| <hazard padding> |
|-----------------------------------|
| callee-saved fp/simd/SVE regs |
|-----------------------------------|
| SVE stack objects |
|-----------------------------------|
| local variables of fixed size |
| <FPR> |
| <hazard padding> |
| <GPR> |
------------------------------------| <- sp
| Lower address
With this patch the stack (and hazard padding) is rearranged so that
hazard padding is placed between the PPRs and ZPRs rather than within
the (fixed size) callee-save region. Which looks something like this:
------------------------------------ Higher address
| callee-saved gpr registers |
|---------------------------------- |
| lr,fp (a.k.a. "frame record") |
|-----------------------------------| <- fp(=x29)
| callee-saved PPRs |
| PPR stack objects | (These are SVE predicates)
|-----------------------------------|
| <hazard padding> |
|-----------------------------------|
| callee-saved ZPR regs | (These are SVE vectors)
| ZPR stack objects | Note: FPRs are promoted to ZPRs
|-----------------------------------|
| local variables of fixed size |
| <FPR> |
| <hazard padding> |
| <GPR> |
------------------------------------| <- sp
| Lower address
This layout is only enabled if:
* SplitSVEObjects are enabled (`-aarch64-split-sve-objects`)
- (This may be enabled by default in a later patch)
* Streaming memory hazards are present
- (`-aarch64-stack-hazard-size=<val>` != 0)
* PPRs and FPRs/ZPRs are on the stack
* There's no stack realignment or variable-sized objects
- This is left as a TODO for now
Additionally, any FPR callee-saves that are present will be promoted to
ZPRs. This is to prevent stack hazards between FPRs and GRPs in the
fixed size callee-save area (which would otherwise require more hazard
padding, or moving the FPR callee-saves).
This layout should resolve the hole in the hazard padding mitigation,
and is not intended change codegen for non-SME code.
