RFR(S): 8159611: C2: ArrayCopy elimination skips required parameter checks

Sorry for the long delay...

Here's my new version:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2016/8159611.v3/

I've actually changed PhaseMacroExpand::expand_arraycopy_node() such
that it calls generate_arraycopy() with 'length_never_negative' set to
true if EliminateAllocations is true (in this case we already checked
in LibraryCallKit::inline_arraycopy() that 'length' is not negative).
This way I could leave generate_arraycopy() untouched.

The generated code now looks as follows:

Original version (without 'length < 0' check):

0a7   B5: #    B17 B6 <- B4  Freq: 0,999998
0a7       cmpl    R9, R11    # unsigned
0aa       jb,u  B17  P=0,000001 C=-1,000000
...
0da   B7: #    B18 B8 <- B6 B12 B13  Freq: 0,999997
0da       movl    R11, [rsp + #8]    # spill
0df       testl   R11, R11
0e2       jle     B18  P=0,000001 C=-1,000000
...
0e8   B8: #    B9 <- B7  Freq: 0,999996
0f9       call_leaf_nofp,runtime  oop_disjoint_arraycopy
...
106   B9: #    B10 <- B8 B18 B20  Freq: 0,999997
113       ret
...
184   B17: #    N1 <- B4 B5  Freq: 2,01328e-06
193       call,static  wrapper for:
uncommon_trap(reason='intrinsic_or_type_checked_inlining'
action='make_not_entrant' debug_id='0')

19d   B18: #    B9 B19 <- B7  Freq: 9,99997e-07
19d       testl   R11, R11
1a0       jge     B9  P=0,999999 C=-1,000000
1a0
1a6   B19: #    B22 B20 <- B18  Freq: 9,99997e-13
1a6       movq    RSI, R8    # spill
1a9       movl    RDX, #1    # int
1ae       movq    RCX, R10    # spill
1b1       movl    R8, #1    # int
1b7       movl    R9, R11    # spill
          nop     # 1 bytes pad for loops and calls
1bb       call,static  wrapper for: slow_arraycopy

In B5 there's a check if 'offset+length' is still in the array range.
If not we jump to the uncommon trap in B17.
In B7 there's the first check from
PhaseMacroExpand::generate_arraycopy() (i.e.
generate_nonpositive_guard()). If 'length is less than or equal to
zero we jump to B18 where there's the second check from
PhaseMacroExpand::generate_arraycopy() (i.e.
generate_negative_guard()). If 'length' is  zero, we jump to B9 and
return. Otherwise we fall into B19 from where we call slow_arraycopy.
slow_arraycopy (which is generated in ObjArrayKlass::copy_array() will
throw an AIOOB exception if 'length' is negative.

The new version now looks as follows:

0a2   B5: #    B19 B6 <- B4  Freq: 0,999998
0a2       cmpl    R10, RCX    # unsigned
0a5       jb,u  B19  P=0,000001 C=-1,000000
0a5
0ab   B6: #    B20 B7 <- B5  Freq: 0,999997
0ab       movl    R10, [rsp + #0]    # spill
0af       testl   R10, R10
0b2       jl     B20  P=0,000001 C=-1,000000
0b2
...
0e2   B8: #    B10 B9 <- B7 B13 B14  Freq: 0,999996
0e2       testl   R10, R10
0e5       je,s   B10  P=0,000001 C=-1,000000
...
0e7   B9: #    B10 <- B8  Freq: 0,999995
0f8       call_leaf_nofp,runtime  oop_disjoint_arraycopy
...
105   B10: #    B11 <- B9 B8  Freq: 0,999996
112       ret
...
18e   B19: #    B20 <- B5  Freq: 9,99998e-07
192   B20: #    N1 <- B18 B19 B6  Freq: 3,01327e-06
1a3       call,static  wrapper for:
uncommon_trap(reason='intrinsic_or_type_checked_inlining'
action='make_not_entrant' debug_id='0')

B5 is like before, but is now followed by the extra check for 'length'
being not negative in B6. In B8 we we now have the first check (i.e.
generate_negative_guard()) from
PhaseMacroExpand::generate_arraycopy(). It directly checks if 'length'
is zero and jumps to B10 (i.e. returns) if so. Otherwise we fall
directly into oop_disjoint_arraycopy(). There's no need to check for
'length' being negative and calling 'slow_arraycopy' because this case
is already handled before now (in B6).

Is this OK now?

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
