A DLS lr, lr instruction only moves lr to itself. It need not be emitted
on it's own to save a instruction in the loop preheader.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D78916
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.

The VPTBlock has been modified to track the 'global' state of the
VPR, as well as the state for each block. Each object now just holds
a list of instructions that makeup the block, while static structures
hold the predicate information. This enables global access for
querying how both a VPT block and individual instructions are
predicated. These changes now allow us, again, to handle more
complicated cases where multiple instructions build a predicate
and/or where the same predicate in used in multiple blocks.
It doesn't, however, get us back to before the tracking was 'fixed'
as some extra logic will be required to properly handle VPT
instructions. Currently a VPT could be effectively predicated because
of it's inputs, but the existing logic will not detect that and so
will refuse to perform the transformation. This can be seen in
remat-vctp.ll test where we still don't perform the transform.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87681
Clear the CurrentPredicate when we find an instruction which would
completely overwrite the VPR. This fix essentially means we're back
to not really being able to handle VPT instructions when tail
predicating.

We really want to try and avoid spilling P0, which can be difficult
since there's only one register, so try to rematerialize any VCTP
instructions.

Fix the ARM backend's analyzeBranch so it doesn't ignore predicated

This adapts tail-predication to the new semantics of get.active.lane.mask as
defined in D86147. This means that:
- we can remove the BTC + 1 overflow checks because now the loop tripcount is
passed in to the intrinsic,
- we can immediately use that value to setup a counter for the number of
elements processed by the loop and don't need to materialize BTC + 1.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D86303
VPSEL has slightly different semantics under tail predication (it can
end up selecting from Qn, Qm and Qd). We do not model that at the moment
so they block tail predicated loops from being formed.
This just converts them into a predicated VMOV instead (via a VORR),
allowing tail predication to happen whilst still modelling the original
behaviour of the input.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D85110
Most MVE instructions can be predicated to fold a select into the
instruction, using the predicate and the selects else as a passthough.
This adds tablegen patterns for most two operand instructions using the
newly added TwoOpPattern from 1030e82598.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D83222
This refactors option -disable-mve-tail-predication to take different arguments
so that we have 1 option to control tail-predication rather than several
different ones.
This is also a prep step for D82953, in which we want to reject reductions
unless that is requested with this option.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D83133
To set up a tail-predicated loop, we need to to calculate the number of
elements processed by the loop. We can now use intrinsic
@llvm.get.active.lane.mask() to do this, which is emitted by the vectoriser in
D79100. This intrinsic generates a predicate for the masked loads/stores, and
consumes the Backedge Taken Count (BTC) as its second argument. We can now use
that to reconstruct the loop tripcount, instead of the IR pattern match
approach we were using before.
Many thanks to Eli Friedman and Sam Parker for all their help with this work.
This also adds overflow checks for the different, new expressions that we
create: the loop tripcount, and the sub expression that calculates the
remaining elements to be processed. For the latter, SCEV is not able to
calculate precise enough bounds, so we work around that at the moment, but is
not entirely correct yet, it's conservative. The overflow checks can be
overruled with a force flag, which is thus potentially unsafe (but not really
because the vectoriser is the only place where this intrinsic is emitted at the
moment). It's also good to mention that the tail-predication pass is not yet
enabled by default. We will follow up to see if we can implement these
overflow checks better, either by a change in SCEV or we may want revise the
definition of llvm.get.active.lane.mask.

Previously, the LowOverheadLoops pass couldn't handle VPT blocks
with conditions, or with multiple VCTPs. This patch improves the
LowOverheadLoops pass so it can handle those cases.
It also adds support for VCMPs before the VCTP.

This patch makes the folding of or(A, B) into not(and(not(A), not(B)))
more agressive for I1 vector. This only affects Thumb2 MVE and improves
codegen, because it removes a lot of msr/mrs instructions on VPR.P0.
This patch also adds a xor(vcmp) -> !vcmp fold for MVE.

When decided whether to generate a post-inc load/store, look at the
other memory nodes that use the same base address and, if any proceed
the current node, then don't do the combine.
The change only seems to be affecting the Arm backend, which I was
surprised at, but it appears to fix a lot of our issues around MVE
masked load/stores having to store a temporary address after an early
post-increment on a shared base address.

Check that no Q-regs are live out of the loop, unless the instruction
within the loop is predicated on the vctp.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D72713
This patch uses helper function rewriteLoopExitValues that is refactored in
D72602 to rematerialise the iteration count in exit blocks, so that we can
clean-up loop update expressions inside the hardware-loops later in
ARMLowOverheadLoops, which is necessary to get actual performance gains for
tail-predicated loops.

This adds ICmp to the list of instructions that we sink a splat to in a
loop, allowing the register forms of instructions to be selected more
often. It does not add FCmp yet as the results look a little odd, trying
to keep the register in an float reg and having to move it back to a GPR.

Record the discovered VPT blocks while checking for validity and, for
now, only handle blocks that begin with VPST and not VPT. We're now
allowing more than one instruction to define vpr, but each block must
somehow be predicated using the vctp. This leaves us with several
scenarios which need fixing up:
1) A VPT block with is only predicated by the vctp and has no
internal vpr defs.
2) A VPT block which is only predicated by the vctp but has an
internal vpr def.
3) A VPT block which is predicated upon the vctp as well as another
vpr def.
4) A VPT block which is not predicated upon a vctp, but contains it
and all instructions within the block are predicated upon in.
The changes needed are, for:
1) The easy one, just remove the vpst and unpredicate the
instructions in the block.
2) Remove the vpst and unpredicate the instructions up to the
internal vpr def. Need insert a new vpst to predicate the
remaining instructions.
3) No nothing.
4) The vctp will be inside a vpt and the instruction will be removed,
so adjust the size of the mask on the vpst.

With the extra optimisations we have done, these should now be fine to
enable by default. Which is what this patch does.

MVE has a basic symmetry between it's normal loads/store operations and
the masked variants. This means that masked loads and stores can use
pre-inc and post-inc addressing modes, just like the standard loads and
stores already do.
To enable that, this patch adds all the relevant infrastructure for
treating masked loads/stores addressing modes in the same way as normal
loads/stores.
This involves:
- Adding an AddressingMode to MaskedLoadStoreSDNode, along with an extra
Offset operand that is added after the PtrBase.
- Extending the IndexedModeActions from 8bits to 16bits to store the
legality of masked operations as well as normal ones. This array is
fairly small, so doubling the size still won't make it very large.
Offset masked loads can then be controlled with
setIndexedMaskedLoadAction, similar to standard loads.
- The same methods that combine to indexed loads, such as
CombineToPostIndexedLoadStore, are adjusted to handle masked loads in
the same way.
- The ARM backend is then adjusted to make use of these indexed masked
loads/stores.
- The X86 backend is adjusted to hopefully be no functional changes.

The VCTP instruction will calculate the predicate masked based upon
the number of elements that need to be processed. I had inserted the
sub before the vctp intrinsic and supplied it as the operand, but
this is incorrect as the phi should directly feed the vctp. The sub
is calculating the value for the next iteration.
