Subject: [PULL 1/3] target/hexagon: fix J2_jumptnew/pt predicate check to use LSB
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 07:50:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320145041.3027130-2-brian.cain@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320145041.3027130-1-brian.cain@oss.qualcomm.com>

J2_jumptnew and J2_jumptnewpt passed the raw predicate value to
gen_cond_jump(), checking if the full 8-bit value was non-zero.
Refer to PRM Section 6.1.2 "predicate-consuming instructions examine
only the least-significant bit".

This inconsistency caused if (p0.new) jumps and if (p0.new) loads
within the same packet to disagree when the predicate had values
other than the ones generated by predicate-generating instructions
(e.g. 0x80 or 0xAA where bit 0 is clear but the value is
non-zero): the jump would be taken while the loads were skipped.

Fix by routing both macros through fGEN_TCG_cond_jumpt(fLSBNEW(PuN)),
matching the pattern used by every other predicated jump.
