Currently the ARM-Port uses generic functions for SwapEndian, which are
relativly slow.
This patch adds optimized functions for the 32 and 64-bit case, the 16
bit case is still handled with a normal function, while the generated
code is far from optimal, the inlining (which is not possible with
asm-functions) makes it faster than the optimized function.
Some Numbers from my 1.2GHz Kirkwood (ARMv5):
Old New Result
SwapEndian(Integer) 12.168s 5.411s 44.47%
SwapEndian(Int64) 168.28s 9.015s 5.36%
Testcode was
begin
I := $FFFFFFF;
while I > 0 do
begin
Val2 := MySwapEndian(Val);
Dec(I);
end;
end.
Currently only the ARM implementation is tested. ARMv6+ includes a rev
instruction, while I've implemented them, I was not able to test them.

always points to the previous r7 on the stack (with the saved return
address coming right after it) so that the debugger and crashreporter
can use it for backtraces as specified in the ABI
o changed NR_FRAME_POINTER_REG and RS_FRAME_POINTER_REG from a symbolic
into a typed constant, and added a new method to tprocinfo that can
be used to initialze it (so it can be inited to r7/r11 depending on
the target platform)
* allow using r9 on Darwin, it was only used by the system on iOS up to
2.x, which we no longer support
* prefer using r9 and r12 before r4..r11 on Darwin, because they are
volatile and hence do not have to be saved

o new eabihf (hard float) abi
o vfpv3_d16 variant of VFP (default variant used by EABI assemblers: VFPv3
with only 16 double registers instead of 32) and pass it to GNU as
o make the odd numbered single precision floating point VFP registers
available for explicit allocation for use by the calling convention
* fixed copy/paste error in stdname of S30 register
-> use -dFPC_ARMHF to create an ARM eabi hard float compiler
(mantis #21554)

* Fix for InterLockedCompareExchange on ARMEL
InterLockedCompareExchange would not return the current data on failure.
Getting this to work correctly is a bit tricky. As kuser_cmpxchg does
not return the set value, we have to load it.
There is a tiny chance that we get rescheduled between calling
kuser_cmpxchg and loading the value. If the value changed in between
there is the possibility that we would return the Comperand without
having done an actual swap. Which might cause havoc and destruction.
So, if the exchange failed, compare the value and loop again in case
of CurrentValue == Comperand.
* Improve testing of InterLockedCompareExchange
Added a test to check for the case when Comperand is different from the
current value.

Use "nostackframe" for:
- Sptr (broken without nostackframe)
- get_caller_addr
- get_caller_frame
Use cmp+ldrne instead of movs+beq+ldr, its a bit more pipeline-friendly
and takes burden of the BPU.

The following functions where changed to make use of the kernel helper
kuser_cmpxchg:
InterLockedDecrement
InterLockedIncrement
InterLockedExchangeAdd
InterLockedCompareExchange
The previous implementation using a spinlock had a couple of drawbacks:
1.) The functions could not be used safely on values not completly managed
by the process itself, because the spinlock did not protect data but the
functions. For example, think about two processes using shared memory.
They would not be able to share fpc_system_lock, making it unsafe to use
these functions.
2.) With many active threads, there was a high chance that the scheduler
would interrupt a thread while fpc_system_lock was taken, which would
result in the following threads using one of these functions to spinlock till
the end of its timeslice. This could result in unwanted and unnecessary
latencies.
3.) Every function contained a pointer to fpc_system_lock. Resulting in
two polluted DCache-Lines per call and possible latencies through dcache
misses.
The new implementation only works on Linux Kernel >= 2.6.16
The functions are implemented in a way which tries to minimize cache pollution
and load latencies.
Even without Multithreading the new functions are a lot faster. I've did
comparisons on my Kirkwood 1.2GHz with the following template code:
var X: longint;
begin
X := 0;
while X < longint(100*1000000) do
FUNCTION(X);
Writeln(X);
end.
Function New Old
InterLockedIncrement: 0m3.696s 0m23.220s
InterLockedExchangeAdd: 0m4.034s 0m23.242s
InterLockedCompareExchange: 0m4.703s 0m24.006s
This speedup is most probably because of the reduced memory access,
which resulted in lots of cache misses.

* generate add.w instead of add for thumb-2 in case one of the registers
is > r8
* add register interferences for the "add" instruction so the register
allocator can detect invalid instruction forms (even for assembler code)
* fixed error in thumb2.inc detected by the previous change
git-svn-id: trunk@16633 -
and above, so this also works when calling thumb code (should actually
also be done for ARMv5T, but we don't have a monicker for that yet)
* use BX instead of "mov r15, r14" for simple returns from subroutines
on ARMv6+ to support returning to thumb code from ARM code (idem)

+ RTL support:
o VFP exceptions are disabled by default on Darwin,
because they cause kernel panics on iPhoneOS 2.2.1 at least
o all denormals are truncated to 0 on Darwin, because disabling
that also causes kernel panics on iPhoneOS 2.2.1 (probably
because otherwise denormals can also cause exceptions)
* set softfloat rounding mode correctly for non-wince/darwin/vfp
targets
+ compiler support: only half the number of single precision
registers is available due to limitations of the register
allocator
+ added a number of comments about why the stackframe on ARM is
set up the way it is by the compiler
+ added regtype and subregtype info to regsets, because they're
also used for VFP registers (+ support in assembler reader)
+ various generic support routines for dealing with floating point
values located in integer registers that have to be transferred to
mm registers (needed for VFP)
* renamed use_sse() to use_vectorfpu() and also use it for
ARM/vfp support
o only superficially tested for Linux (compiler compiled with -Cpvfpv6
-Cfvfpv2 works on a Cortex-A8, no testsuite run performed -- at least
the fpu exception handler still needs to be implemented), Darwin has
been tested more thoroughly
+ added ARMv6 cpu type and made it default for Darwin/ARM
+ ARMv6+ implementations of atomic operations using ldrex/strex
* don't use r9 on Darwin/ARM, as it's reserved under certain
circumstances (don't know yet which ones)
* changed C-test object files for ARM/Darwin to ARMv6 versions
* check in assembler reader that regsets are not empty, because
instructions with a regset operand have undefined behaviour in that
case
* fixed resultdef of tarmtypeconvnode.first_int_to_real in case of
int64->single type conversion
* fixed constant pool locations in case 64 bit constants are generated,
and/or when vfp instructions with limited reach are present
WARNING: when using VFP on an ARMv6 or later cpu, you *must* compile all
code with -Cparmv6 (or higher), or you will get crashes. The reason is
that storing/restoring multiple VFP registers must happen using
different instructions on pre/post-ARMv6.
