This adjusts the place that the t2DoLoopStart reg allocation hint is
inserted, adding it in the ARMTPAndVPTOptimizaionPass in a similar place
as other tail predicated loop optimizations. This removes the need for
doing so in a custom inserter, and should make the hint more accurate,
only adding it where we expect to create a DLS (not DLSTP or WLS).
Recently we improved the lowering of low overhead loops and tail
predicated loops, but concentrated first on the DLS do style loops. This
extends those improvements over to the WLS while loops, improving the
chance of lowering them successfully. To do this the lowering has to
change a little as the instructions are terminators that produce a value
- something that needs to be treated carefully.
Lowering starts at the Hardware Loop pass, inserting a new
llvm.test.start.loop.iterations that produces both an i1 to control the
loop entry and an i32 similar to the llvm.start.loop.iterations
intrinsic added for do loops. This feeds into the loop phi, properly
gluing the values together:
%wls = call { i32, i1 } @llvm.test.start.loop.iterations.i32(i32 %div)
%wls0 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 0
%wls1 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 1
br i1 %wls1, label %loop.ph, label %loop.exit
...
loop:
%lsr.iv = phi i32 [ %wls0, %loop.ph ], [ %iv.next, %loop ]
..
%iv.next = call i32 @llvm.loop.decrement.reg.i32(i32 %lsr.iv, i32 1)
%cmp = icmp ne i32 %iv.next, 0
br i1 %cmp, label %loop, label %loop.exit
The llvm.test.start.loop.iterations need to be lowered through ISel
lowering as a pair of WLS and WLSSETUP nodes, which each get converted
to t2WhileLoopSetup and t2WhileLoopStart Pseudos. This helps prevent
t2WhileLoopStart from being a terminator that produces a value,
something difficult to control at that stage in the pipeline. Instead
the t2WhileLoopSetup produces the value of LR (essentially acting as a
lr = subs rn, 0), t2WhileLoopStart consumes that lr value (the Bcc).
These are then converted into a single t2WhileLoopStartLR at the same
point as t2DoLoopStartTP and t2LoopEndDec. Otherwise we revert the loop
to prevent them from progressing further in the pipeline. The
t2WhileLoopStartLR is a single instruction that takes a GPR and produces
LR, similar to the WLS instruction.
%1:gprlr = t2WhileLoopStartLR %0:rgpr, %bb.3
t2B %bb.1
...
bb.2.loop:
%2:gprlr = PHI %1:gprlr, %bb.1, %3:gprlr, %bb.2
...
%3:gprlr = t2LoopEndDec %2:gprlr, %bb.2
t2B %bb.3
The t2WhileLoopStartLR can then be treated similar to the other low
overhead loop pseudos, eventually being lowered to a WLS providing the
branches are within range.

These intrinsics, not the icmp+select are the canonical form nowadays,
so we might as well directly emit them.
This should not cause any regressions, but if it does,
then then they would needed to be fixed regardless.
Note that this doesn't deal with `SCEVExpander::isHighCostExpansion()`,
but that is a pessimization, not a correctness issue.
Additionally, the non-intrinsic form has issues with undef,
see https://reviews.llvm.org/D88287#2587863
This adds some simple known bits handling for the three CSINC/NEG/INV
instructions. From the operands known bits we can compute the common
bits of the first operand and incremented/negated/inverted second

tests. The others are more rare so a unit test for them is added.

In some rare circumstances we can be using an undef register for a
compare. When folded into a CBZ/CBNZ the undef flags are lost, leading
to machine verifier problems. This propagates the existing flags to the
new instruction.
This removes the existing patterns for inserting two lanes into an
f16/i16 vector register using VINS, instead using a DAG combine to
pattern match the same code sequences. The tablegen patterns were
already on the large side (foreach LANE = [0, 2, 4, 6]) and were not
handling all the cases they could. Moving that to a DAG combine, whilst
not less code, allows us to better control and expand the selection of
VINSs. Additionally this allows us to remove the AddedComplexity on
VCVTT.
The extra trick that this has learned in the process is to move two
adjacent lanes using a single f32 vmov, allowing some extra
inefficiencies to be removed.

From what I can tell, a writeback is unpredictable with LR for both

Currently the findIncDecAfter will only look at the next instruction for
post-inc candidates in the load/store optimizer. This extends that to a
search through the current BB, until an instruction that modifies or
uses the increment reg is found. This allows more post-inc load/stores
and ldm/stm's to be created, especially in cases where a schedule might
move instructions further apart.
We make sure not to look any further for an SP, as that might invalidate
stack slots that are still in use.

With t2DoLoopDec we can be left with some extra MOV's in the preheaders

This patch adds tablegen patterns for pairs of i16/f16 insert/extracts.
If we are inserting into two adjacent vector lanes (0 and 1 for
example), we can use either a vmov;vins or vmovx;vins to insert the pair
together, avoiding a round-trip from GRP registers. This is quite a
large patterns with a number of EXTRACT_SUBREG/INSERT_SUBREG/
COPY_TO_REGCLASS nodes, but hopefully as most of those become copies all
that will be cleaned up by further optimizations.
The VINS pattern was also adjusted to allow it to represent that it is
inserting into the top half of an existing register.

When LSR converts a branch on the pre-inc IV into a branch on the
post-inc IV, the nowrap flags on the addition may no longer be valid.
Previously, a poison result of the addition might have been ignored,
in which case the program was well defined. After branching on the
post-inc IV, we might be branching on poison, which is undefined behavior.
Fix this by discarding nowrap flags which are not present on the SCEV
expression. Nowrap flags on the SCEV expression are proven by SCEV
to always hold, independently of how the expression will be used.
This is essentially the same fix we applied to IndVars LFTR, which
also performs this kind of pre-inc to post-inc conversion.
I believe a similar problem can also exist for getelementptr inbounds,
but I was not able to come up with a problematic test case. The
inbounds case would have to be addressed in a differently anyway
(as SCEV does not track this property).

It turns our that the BranchFolder and IfCvt does not like unanalyzable
branches that fall-through. This means that removing the unconditional
branches from the end of tail predicated instruction can run into
asserts and verifier issues.
This effectively reverts 372eb2bbb6, but
adds handling to t2DoLoopEndDec which are not branches, so can be safely
skipped.
This treats low overhead loop branches the same as jump tables and
indirect branches in analyzeBranch - they cannot be analyzed but the
direct branches on the end of the block may be removed. This helps
remove the unnecessary branches earlier, which can help produce better
codegen (and change block layout in a number of cases).

A vpt block that just contains either VPST;VCTP or VPT;VCTP, once the

Although this was something that I was hoping we would not have to do,
this patch makes t2DoLoopStartTP a terminator in order to keep it at the
end of it's block, so not allowing extra MVE instruction between it and
the end. With t2DoLoopStartTP's also starting tail predication regions,
it also marks them as having side effects. The t2DoLoopStart is still
not a terminator, giving it the extra scheduling freedom that can be
helpful, but now that we have a TP version they can be treated
differently.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91887
We currently have problems with the way that low overhead loops are
specified, with LR being spilled between the t2LoopDec and the t2LoopEnd
forcing the entire loop to be reverted late in the backend. As they will
eventually become a single instruction, this patch introduces a
t2LoopEndDec which is the combination of the two, combined before
registry allocation to make sure this does not fail.
Unfortunately this instruction is a terminator that produces a value
(and also branches - it only produces the value around the branching
edge). So this needs some adjustment to phi elimination and the register
allocator to make sure that we do not spill this LR def around the loop
(needing to put a spill after the terminator). We treat the loop very
carefully, making sure that there is nothing else like calls that would
break it's ability to use LR. For that, this adds a
isUnspillableTerminator to opt in the new behaviour.
There is a chance that this could cause problems, and so I have added an
escape option incase. But I have not seen any problems in the testing
that I've tried, and not reverting Low overhead loops is important for
our performance. If this does work then we can hopefully do the same for
t2WhileLoopStart and t2DoLoopStart instructions.
This patch also contains the code needed to convert or revert the
t2LoopEndDec in the backend (which just needs a subs; bne) and the code
pre-ra to create them.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91358
The phi created in a low overhead loop gets created with a default
register class it seems. There are then copied inserted between the low
overhead loop pseudo instructions (which produce/consume GPRlr
instructions) and the phi holding the induction. This patch removes
those as a step towards attempting to make t2LoopDec and t2LoopEnd a
single instruction, and appears useful in it's own right as shown in the
tests.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91267
This adds code to revert low overhead loops with calls in them before
register allocation. Ideally we would not create low overhead loops with
calls in them to begin with, but that can be difficult to always get
correct. If we want to try and glue together t2LoopDec and t2LoopEnd
into a single instruction, we need to ensure that no instructions use LR
in the loop. (Technically the final code can be better too, as it
doesn't need to use the same registers but that has not been optimized
for here, as reverting loops with calls is expected to be very rare).
It also adds a MVETailPredUtils.h header to share the revert code
between different passes, and provides a place to expand upon, with
RevertLoopWithCall becoming a place to perform other low overhead loop
alterations like removing copies or combining LoopDec and End into a
single instruction.

This strips out a lot of the code that should no longer be needed from

This checks to see if the loop will likely become a tail predicated loop
and disables wls loop generation if so, as the likelihood for reverting
is currently too high. These should be fairly rare situations anyway due
to the way iterations and element counts are used during lowering. Just
not trying can alter how SCEV's are materialized however, leading to
different codegen.
It also adds a option to disable all while low overhead loops, for
debugging.

This was already something that was handled by one of the "else"

Of course there was something missing, in this case a check that the def
of the count register we are adding to a t2DoLoopStartTP would dominate
the insertion point.
In the future, when we remove some of these COPY's in between, the
t2DoLoopStartTP will always become the last instruction in the block,
preventing this from happening. In the meantime we need to check they
are created in a sensible order.

This introduces a new pseudo instruction, almost identical to a
t2DoLoopStart but taking 2 parameters - the original loop iteration
count needed for a low overhead loop, plus the VCTP element count needed
for a DLSTP instruction setting up a tail predicated loop. The idea is
that the instruction holds both values and the backend
ARMLowOverheadLoops pass can pick between the two, depending on whether
it creates a tail predicated loop or falls back to a low overhead loop.
To do that there needs to be something that converts a t2DoLoopStart to
a t2DoLoopStartTP, for which this patch repurposes the
MVEVPTOptimisationsPass as a "tail predication and vpt optimisation"
pass. The extra operand for the t2DoLoopStartTP is chosen based on the
operands of VCTP's in the loop, and the instruction is moved as late in
the block as possible to attempt to increase the likelihood of making
tail predicated loops.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D90591
This hints the operand of a t2DoLoopStart towards using LR, which can
help make it more likely to become t2DLS lr, lr. This makes it easier to
move if needed (as the input is the same as the output), or potentially
remove entirely.
The hint is added after others (from COPY's etc) which still take
precedence. It needed to find a place to add the hint, which currently
uses the post isel custom inserter.

This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

There were cases where a VCMP and a VPST were merged even if the VCMP
didn't have the same defs of its operands as the VPST. This is fixed by
adding RDA checks for the defs. This however gave rise to cases where
the new VPST created would precede the un-merged VCMP and so would fail
a predicate mask assertion since the VCMP wasn't predicated. This was
solved by converting the VCMP to a VPT instead of inserting the new
VPST.

If an instruction will be lowered to a call there is no advantage of

This reverts commit 38f625d0d1.
This commit contains some holes in its logic and has been causing
issues since it was commited. The idea sounds OK but some cases were not
handled correctly. Instead of trying to fix that up later it is probably
simpler to revert it and work to reimplement it in a more reliable way.
There are a number of places in RDA where we assume the block will not
be empty. This isn't necessarily true for tail predicated loops where we
have removed instructions. This attempt to make the pass more resilient
to empty blocks, not casting pointers to machine instructions where they

The test contains a case that was previously failing, but recently been
hidden on trunk. It contains an empty block to begin with to show a
