When the destination register of a XOP instruction is an XMM register, bits
[255:128] of the corresponding YMM register are cleared.
When the destination register of a EVEX encoded instruction is an XMM/YMM
register, the upper bits of the corresponding ZMM are cleared.
On processors that feature AVX512, a write to an XMM registers always clears the
upper portion of the corresponding ZMM register if the instruction is VEX or
EVEX encoded.
These new tests show some interesting cases which aren't correctly analyzed by
llvm-mca. The lack of knowledge related to the implicit update on the
super-registers is addressed by D48225.

This patch is the last of a sequence of three patches related to LLVM-dev RFC
"MC support for variant scheduling classes".
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123181.html
This fixes PR36672.
The main goal of this patch is to teach llvm-mca how to solve variant scheduling
classes. This patch does that, plus it adds new variant scheduling classes to
the BtVer2 scheduling model to identify so-called zero-idioms (i.e. so-called
dependency breaking instructions that are known to generate zero, and that are
optimized out in hardware at register renaming stage).
Without the BtVer2 change, this patch would not have had any meaningful tests.
This patch is effectively the union of two changes:
1) a change that teaches llvm-mca how to resolve variant scheduling classes.
2) a change to the BtVer2 scheduling model that allows us to special-case
packed XOR zero-idioms (this partially fixes PR36671).

Previously update_mca_test_checks worked entirely at "block" level where
a block is some sequence of lines delimited by at least one empty line.
This generally worked well, but could sometimes lead to excessive
repetition of check lines for various prefixes if some block was almost
identical between prefixes, but not quite (for example, due to a
different dispatch width in the otherwise identical summary views).
This new analyis attempts to split blocks further in the case where the
following conditions are met:
a) There is some prefix common to every RUN line (typically 'ALL').
b) The first line of the block is common to the output with every prefix.
c) The block has the same number of lines for the output with every prefix.
Also, regenerated all llvm-mca test files with the following command:
update_mca_test_checks.py "../test/tools/llvm-mca/*/*.s" "../test/tools/llvm-mca/*/*/*.s"

This patch implements the "block reciprocal throughput" computation in the
SummaryView.
The block reciprocal throughput is computed as the MAX of:
- NumMicroOps / DispatchWidth
- Resource Cycles / #Units (for every resource consumed).
The block throughput is bounded from above by the hardware dispatch throughput.
That is because the DispatchWidth is an upper bound on how many opcodes can be part
of a single dispatch group.
The block throughput is also limited by the amount of hardware parallelism. The
number of available resource units affects how the resource pressure is
distributed, and also how many blocks can be delivered every cycle.

We can have scheduling classes with no write latency entries, that still consume

still consume resource cycles.
This is likely to be a regression which I have accidentally introduced at

This patch teaches llvm-mca how to parse code comments in search for special
"markers" used to select regions of code.
Example:
# LLVM-MCA-BEGIN My Code Region
....
# LLVM-MCA-END
The MCAsmLexer now delegates to an object of class MCACommentParser (i.e. an
AsmCommentConsumer) the parsing of code comments to search for begin/end code
region markers.
A comment starting with substring "LLVM-MCA-BEGIN" marks the beginning of a new
region of code. A comment starting with substring "LLVM-MCA-END" marks the end
of the last region.
This implementation doesn't allow regions to overlap. Each region can have a
optional description; internally, each region is identified by a range of source
code locations (SMLoc).
MCInst objects are added to a region R only if the source location for the
MCInst is in the range of locations specified by R.
By default, the tool allocates an implicit "Default" code region which contains
every source location. See new tests llvm-mca-marker-*.s for a few examples.
A new Backend object is created for every region. So, the analysis is conducted
on every parsed code region. The final report is the union of the reports
generated for every code region. Note that empty regions are skipped.
Special "[#] Code Region - ..." strings are used in the report to mark the
portion which is specific to a code region only. For example, see
llvm-mca-markers-5.s.

This patch adds the ability to describe properties of the hardware retire
control unit.
Tablegen class RetireControlUnit has been added for this purpose (see
TargetSchedule.td).
A RetireControlUnit specifies the size of the reorder buffer, as well as the
maximum number of opcodes that can be retired every cycle.
A zero (or negative) value for the reorder buffer size means: "the size is
unknown". If the size is unknown, then llvm-mca defaults it to the value of
field SchedMachineModel::MicroOpBufferSize. A zero or negative number of
opcodes retired per cycle means: "there is no restriction on the number of
instructions that can be retired every cycle".
Models can optionally specify an instance of RetireControlUnit. There can only
be up-to one RetireControlUnit definition per scheduling model.
Information related to the RCU (RetireControlUnit) is stored in (two new fields
of) MCExtraProcessorInfo. llvm-mca loads that information when it initializes
the DispatchUnit / RetireControlUnit (see Dispatch.h/Dispatch.cpp).
This patch fixes PR36661.

Before this patch, the "BackendStatistics" view was responsible for printing the
register file usage (as well as many other statistics).

llvm-svn: 329083
This patch allows the description of register files in processor scheduling
models. This addresses PR36662.
A new tablegen class named 'RegisterFile' has been added to TargetSchedule.td.
Targets can optionally describe register files for their processors using that
class. In particular, class RegisterFile allows to specify:
- The total number of physical registers.
- Which target registers are accessible through the register file.
- The cost of allocating a register at register renaming stage.
Example (from this patch - see file X86/X86ScheduleBtVer2.td)
def FpuPRF : RegisterFile<72, [VR64, VR128, VR256], [1, 1, 2]>
Here, FpuPRF describes a register file for MMX/XMM/YMM registers. On Jaguar
(btver2), a YMM register definition consumes 2 physical registers, while MMX/XMM
register definitions only cost 1 physical register.
The syntax allows to specify an empty set of register classes. An empty set of
register classes means: this register file models all the registers specified by
the Target. For each register class, users can specify an optional register
cost. By default, register costs default to 1. A value of 0 for the number of
physical registers means: "this register file has an unbounded number of
physical registers".
This patch is structured in two parts.
* Part 1 - MC/Tablegen *
A first part adds the tablegen definition of RegisterFile, and teaches the
SubtargetEmitter how to emit information related to register files.
Information about register files is accessible through an instance of
MCExtraProcessorInfo.
The idea behind this design is to logically partition the processor description
which is only used by external tools (like llvm-mca) from the processor
information used by the llvm machine schedulers.
I think that this design would make easier for targets to get rid of the extra
processor information if they don't want it.
* Part 2 - llvm-mca related *
The second part of this patch is related to changes to llvm-mca.
The main differences are:
1) class RegisterFile now needs to take into account the "cost of a register"
when allocating physical registers at register renaming stage.
2) Point 1. triggered a minor refactoring which lef to the removal of the
"maximum 32 register files" restriction.
3) The BackendStatistics view has been updated so that we can print out extra
details related to each register file implemented by the processor.
The effect of point 3. is also visible in tests register-files-[1..5].s.

Before, the instruction builder incorrectly assumed that only explicit reads
could have been associated with ReadAdvance entries.
This patch fixes the issue and adds a test to verify it.
llvm-svn: 328972
Summary:
It seems many CPUs don't implement this instruction as well as the other vector multiplies. Often using a multi uop flow. Silvermont in particular has a 7 uop flow with 11 cycle throughput. Sandy Bridge implements it as a single uop with 5 cycle latency and 1 cycle throughput. But Haswell and later use 2 uops with 10 cycle latency and 2 cycle throughput.
This patch adds a new X86SchedWritePair we can use to tag this instruction separately. I've provided correct information for Silvermont, Btver2, and Sandy Bridge. I've removed the InstRWs for SandyBridge. I've left Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake InstRWs in place because I wasn't sure how to account for the different load latency between 128 and 256 bits. I also left Znver1 InstRWs in place because the existing values don't match Agner's spreadsheet.
I also left a FIXME in the SandyBridge model because it being used for the "generic" model is too optimistic for the 256/512-bit versions since those are multiple uops on all known CPUs.

The goal of this patch is to address most of PR36874. To fully fix PR36874 we
need to split the "InstructionInfo" view from the "SummaryView". That would make
easy to check the latency and rthroughput as well.
The patch reuses all the logic from ResourcePressureView to print out the
"instruction tables".
We have an entry for every instruction in the input sequence. Each entry reports
the theoretical resource pressure distribution. Resource pressure is uniformly
distributed across all the processor resource units of a group.
At the moment, the backend pipeline is not configurable, so the only way to fix
this is by creating a different driver that simply sends instruction events to
the resource pressure view. That means, we don't use the Backend interface.
Instead, it is simpler to just have a different code-path for when flag
-instruction-tables is specified.
Once Clement addresses bug 36663, then we can port the "instruction tables"
logic into a stage of our configurable pipeline.
Updated the BtVer2 test cases (thanks Simon for the help). Now we pass flag
-instruction-tables to each modified test.

With this patch, the "instruction dispatched" event now provides information
related to the number of microarchitectural registers used in each register
file. Similarly, the "instruction retired" event is now able to tell how may
registers are freed in each register file.
Currently, the BackendStatistics view is the only consumer of register
usage/pressure information. BackendStatistics uses that info to print out a few
general statistics (i.e. max number of mappings used; total mapping created).
Before this patch, the BackendStatistics was forced to query the Backend to
obtain the register pressure information.
This helps removes that dependency. Now views are completely independent from
the Backend. As a consequence, it should be easier to address PR36663 and
further modularize the pipeline.

This patch fixes a problem found when testing zero latency instructions on
target AArch64 -mcpu=exynos-m3 / -mcpu=exynos-m1.
On Exynos-m3/m1, direct branches are zero-latency instructions that don't consume
any processor resources. The DispatchUnit marks zero-latency instructions as
"executed", so that no scheduling is required. The event of instruction
executed is then notified to all the listeners, and the reorder buffer (managed
by the RetireControlUnit) is updated. In particular, the entry associated to the
zero-latency instruction in the reorder buffer is marked as executed.
Before this patch, the DispatchUnit forgot to assign a retire control unit token
(RCUToken) to the zero-latency instruction. As a consequence, the RCUToken was
used uninitialized. This was causing a crash in the RetireControlUnit logic.

llvm-mca is an LLVM based performance analysis tool that can be used to
statically measure the performance of code, and to help triage potential
problems with target scheduling models.
llvm-mca uses information which is already available in LLVM (e.g. scheduling
models) to statically measure the performance of machine code in a specific cpu.
Performance is measured in terms of throughput as well as processor resource
consumption. The tool currently works for processors with an out-of-order
backend, for which there is a scheduling model available in LLVM.
The main goal of this tool is not just to predict the performance of the code
when run on the target, but also help with diagnosing potential performance
issues.
Given an assembly code sequence, llvm-mca estimates the IPC (instructions per
cycle), as well as hardware resources pressure. The analysis and reporting style
were mostly inspired by the IACA tool from Intel.
