Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] Hexagon (target/hexagon) Implicit writes to USR don't force packet commit
Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2025 15:25:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251104222548.108264-3-ltaylorsimpson@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251104222548.108264-1-ltaylorsimpson@gmail.com>
Implicit writes to USR are only to specific fields of USR to indicate
side effects (e.g., saturation overflow, floating point status).
In these cases, we don't force a packet commit. This will allow more
packets to be short-circuited (avoid writing the results to temporaries).
When there is a packet commit with an implicit write to USR, we initialize
new_value_usr during gen_start_packet and write to USR in gen_reg_writes.
