Subject: [PATCH] tcg/arm: Reduce vector alignment requirement for NEON
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2021 10:49:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210912174925.200132-1-richard.henderson@linaro.org> (raw)
With arm32, the ABI gives us 8-byte alignment for the stack.
While it's possible to realign the stack to provide 16-byte alignment,
it's far easier to simply not encode 16-byte alignment in the
VLD1 and VST1 instructions that we emit.
Remove the assertion in temp_allocate_frame, limit natural alignment
to the provided stack alignment, and add a comment.

I haven't seen the assertion with the various arm kernels that I happen
to have laying about. I have not taken the time to build the combo
from the bug report:
[ 0.000000] Linux version 5.14.0-60.fc36.armv7hl (mockbuild@buildvm-a32-12.iad2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc (GCC) 11.2.1 20210728 (Red Hat 11.2.1-1), GNU ld version 2.37-9.fc36) #1 SMP Mon Aug 30 14:08:34 UTC 2021
I thought about parameterizing this patch further, but I can't think of
another ISA that would be affected. (i686 clumsily changed its abi 20
years ago to avoid faulting on vector spills; other isas so far have
allowed vectors to be unaligned.)
