2021-11-08fix for sloppy reg->mem in arm64 abiQuentin Carbonneaux
Michael found a bug where some copies from registers to memory in the arm64 abi clobber the stack. The test case is: type :T = { w } function w $f() { @start %p =:T call $g() %x =w loadw %p ret %x } qbe will write 4 bytes out of bounds when pulling the result struct from its register. The same bug can be observed if :T's definition is {w 3}; in this case qbe writes 16 bytes in a slot of 12 bytes. This patch changes stkblob() to use the rounded argument size if it is going to be restored from registers. Relatedly, mem->reg loads for structs with size < 16 and != 8, are treated a bit sloppily both in the arm64 and in the sysv abis. That is much less harmful than the present bug.
2021-10-26spill: fix regs assertionsQuentin Carbonneaux
Some arm64 abi tests have been failing for some time now. This fixes them by being a bit more careful with liveset management in spill.c. A late bsclr() call in spill.c may drop legitimately live registers in e.g., R12 =w add R12, 1 While it hurts for regs, it does not matter for ssa temps because those cannot be both in the arguments & return (by the ssa invariant). I added a check before bsclr() to make sure we are clearing only ssa temps. One might be surprised that any ssa temp may be live at this point. The reason why this is the case is the special handling of dead return values earlier in spill(). I think that it is the only case where the return value can be (awkwardly) live at the same time as the arguments, and I think this never happens with registers (i.e., we never have dead register- assigning instructions). I added an assert to check the latter invariant. Finally, there was a simple bug in the arm64 abi which I fixed: In case the return happens via a pointer, x8 needs to be marked live at the beginning of the function. This was caught by test/abi4.ssa.
2021-10-22make variadic args explicitQuentin Carbonneaux
Some abis, like the riscv one, treat arguments differently depending on whether they are variadic or not. To prepare for the upcomming riscv target, we change the variadic call syntax and give meaning to the location of the '...' marker. # new syntax %ret =w call $f(w %regular, ..., w %variadic) By nature of their abis, the change is backwards compatible for existing targets.

2021-03-12arm64: fix selcall call data for return of aggregate in memoryMichael Forney
The no-op `copy R0` is necessary in order to trigger dopm in spill.c and rega.c, which assume that a call is always followed by one or more copies from registers. However, the arm64 ABI does not actually return the caller-passed pointer as in x86_64. This causes an assertion failure qbe: aarch64: Assertion failed: r == T.rglob || b == fn->start (spill.c: spill: 470) for the following test program type :t = { l 3 } function $f() { @start.1 @start.2 %ret =:t call $g() ret } The assertion failure only triggers when the block containing the call is not the first block, because the check is skipped for the first block (since some registers may have been used for arguments). To fix this, set R0 in the call data so that spill/rega can see that this dummy "return" register was generated by the call. This matches qbe's existing behavior when the function returns void, another case where no register is used for the function result.
