Hi Folks,

Anyone got chance to review the patch adding X32 psABI support?

If you are interesting to play around X32, you may refer to http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/x32 to bootstrap a local environment on Linux.

Subject: [cfe-commits] [PATCH] add x32 psABI support

Hi, Folks

There are 2 feature support patches adding X32 psABI support (https://sites.google.com/site/x32abi/), respectively to LLVM and clang. The patch to LLVM adds X32 psABI support and introduce a new 'X32' environment for x86-64 target to tell X32 psABI from LP64 psABI (i.e. the original x86-64 ABI). The patch to clang adds '-mx32' option to generate x32 binaries as well as support calling convention changes due to pointer size reduction. Please commit the patch if it seems acceptable.

This new osABI, X32 psABI, allows programs to run in the 64-bit mode but only using 32-bit pointers. Though, programs will be limited to 4GB virtual address space (not all application requires more than 4GB), X32 psABI helps reduce memory footprint and file size and allow them run faster. The following are statistics on both runtime and file size I collected with LLVM patch (plus another dragonegg patch) against CPU2000 and CPU2006. In summary, X32 psABI could boost ~10% performance from legacy 32-bit and has roughly the same performance from 64-bit app. It also reduces file size by +5% from the original x86-64 psABI and has roughly the same file size from legacy 32-bit app. Several workloads do have much better performance due to the reduction of memory footprint, e.g. 181.mcf in CINT2000, up to 100+% and 429.mcf in CINT2006, up to 30+%)

(Note the data in perf columns are the ratio to the base reference time. Data are collected on my laptop with 2.5GHz i5 CPU w/o HT and 8GB memory.)
