Introduces a docgen tool for templated documentation generation, and uses it
to generate the README.
At the moment this change makes minimal difference to generating it with
embedmd. The difference is that docgen opens up the possibility to generate
documentation with more elaborate templating. The specific use case currently
in mind is including an adopters list that's kept in sync with the third-party
packages file.
Updates #101
Extends avo to support most AVX-512 instruction sets.
The instruction type is extended to support suffixes. The K family of opmask
registers is added to the register package, and the operand package is updated
to support the new operand types. Move instruction deduction in `Load` and
`Store` is extended to support KMOV* and VMOV* forms.
Internal code generation packages were overhauled. Instruction database loading
required various messy changes to account for the additional complexities of the
AVX-512 instruction sets. The internal/api package was added to introduce a
separation between instruction forms in the database, and the functions avo
provides to create them. This was required since with instruction suffixes there
is no longer a one-to-one mapping between instruction constructors and opcodes.
AVX-512 bloated generated source code size substantially, initially increasing
compilation and CI test times to an unacceptable level. Two changes were made to
address this:
1. Instruction constructors in the `x86` package moved to an optab-based
approach. This compiles substantially faster than the verbose code
generation we had before.
2. The most verbose code-generated tests are moved under build tags and
limited to a stress test mode. Stress test builds are run on
schedule but not in regular CI.
An example of AVX-512 accelerated 16-lane MD5 is provided to demonstrate and
test the new functionality.
Updates #20#163#229

Currently `avo` uses `BP` as a standard general-purpose register. However, `BP` is used for the frame pointer and should be callee-save. Under some circumstances, the Go assembler will do this automatically, but not always. At the moment `avo` can produce code that clobbers the `BP` register. Since Go 1.16 this code will also fail a new `go vet` check.
This PR provides a (currently sub-optimal) fix for the issue. It introduces an `EnsureBasePointerCalleeSaved` pass which will check if the base pointer is written to by a function, and if so will artificially ensure that the function has a non-zero frame size. This will trigger the Go assembler to automatically save and restore the BP register.
In addition, we update the `asmdecl` tool to `asmvet`, which includes the `framepointer` vet check.
Updates #156
An update to gofumpt caused the lint job to start failing:
https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo/runs/638734114?check_suite_focus=true#step:7:688
The underlying issue is that the "join parameters" rule added to gofumpt
disagrees with output from go/types. It's possible to fix, but I don't
think it's important enough to deal with right now. Instead I'll pin the
gofumpt dependency to a version before that rule was added.
Pinning tool dependencies is a good idea anyway.
Updates modules handling so build passes in Go 1.13. Bypasses modules for tools install in bootstrap. Upgrades golangci-lint version to avoid bug with v1.17.1 under Go 1.13.
Fixes#95
Run asmfmt suring linting and confirm git repository isn't dirty.
This introduces a developer tools dependency on asmfmt, but not a
runtime dependency.
Updates #8
Attempt to fix a stream of CI failures that started on the addition of
Go modules.
I wonder if we are falling foul of this warning in the wiki
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules.
"The module cache in Go 1.11 can sometimes cause various errors,
primarily if there were previously network issues or multiple go
commands executing in parallel (see #26794, which is addressed for Go
1.12). As a troubleshooting step, you can copy $GOPATH/pkg/mod to a
backup directory (in case further investigation is warranted later), run
go clean -modcache, and then see whether the original problem persists."
Updates #21
We depend upon data files from golang arch sub-repo and the Opcodes XML
database (behind PeachPy). This change includes their LICENSE files.
Updates #22
Adds methods for referencing sub- or super-registers. For example, for
general purpose registers you can now reference As8(), As16(), ... and
for vector AsX(), AsY(), AsZ().
Closes#1
