:
The only situation where we use physical registers now is for fixed non-allocatable registers, all other uses should be virtual register. As such, it no longer makes sense to report moves of registers that aren't virtual to regalloc2, as that would imply that it's acceptable to satisfy a constraint by using a non-allocatable register.
Fixes #5425

The
casloop_emit
function in the s390x backend was using the fixed non-allocatable register%r0
directly with move instructions, which produced a panic in the regalloc2 checker (#5425). This PR changes thecasloop_result
function to usemov_preg
instead ofcopy_reg
to fetch the result, as it's not viewed by regalloc2 as a move. However, this does introduce some indirection when we need to swap the endianness of the result, as we will first move out and then swap.Fixes #5425

This a bit iffy, in that it's not guaranteed (at least, that wasn't the intention) that
result
must be GPR 0 here. I think in practice it (nearly?) always is, but it still would be better to at least verify.
uweigand created PR review comment:
I'm confused about the exact rules when/which instructions are allowed to refer to non-allocatable fixed registers. It seems the load before loop (loading into %r0) is OK, but the move is problematic (which I understand is because regalloc handles moves specially).
But is it OK to have a fixed register as source of the bswap instruction? If so, we wouldn't have to incur this performance regression. In fact, if only moves are the problem, maybe the fix could be as simple as having a special-cased rule for
copy_reg
that detects that the source is a fixed register and uses mov_preg instead?

That's a good point: moves are indeed the case that we need to avoid, and it should be fine for the bswap instruction to take a fixed non-allocatable input. I'll fix this up, thanks!

I'll verify that it's always used with gpr 0, and add a comment explaining why we return it there if that's the case.
