Adrian Prantl b8089516a5 testcase gardening: update the emissionKind enum to the new syntax. (NFC)

2016-04-01 00:16:49 +00:00
Adrian Prantl b939a25707 Move the DebugEmissionKind enum from DIBuilder into DICompileUnit.
This mostly cosmetic patch moves the DebugEmissionKind enum from DIBuilder
into DICompileUnit. DIBuilder is not the right place for this enum to live
in — a metadata consumer should not have to include DIBuilder.h.
I also added a Verifier check that checks that the emission kind of a
DICompileUnit is actually legal.

Hyojin Sung 4673f10568 [SimlifyCFG] Prevent passes from destroying canonical loop structure, especially for nested loops
When eliminating or merging almost empty basic blocks, the existence of non-trivial PHI nodes
is currently used to recognize potential loops of which the block is the header and keep the block.
However, the current algorithm fails if the loops' exit condition is evaluated only with volatile
values hence no PHI nodes in the header. Especially when such a loop is an outer loop of a nested
loop, the loop is collapsed into a single loop which prevent later optimizations from being
applied (e.g., transforming nested loops into simplified forms and loop vectorization).
    
The patch augments the existing PHI node-based check by adding a pre-test if the BB actually
belongs to a set of loop headers and not eliminating it if yes.

Sanjay Patel ee52b6e77d allow branch weight metadata on select instructions (PR26636)
As noted in:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26636

This doesn't accomplish anything on its own. It's the first step towards preserving 
and using branch weights with selects.

The next step would be to make sure we're propagating the info in all of the other
places where we create selects (SimplifyCFG, InstCombine, etc). I don't think there's
an easy fix to make this happen; we have to look at each transform individually to 
determine how to correctly propagate the weights.

Along with that step, we need to then use the weights when making subsequent transform
decisions such as discussed in http://reviews.llvm.org/D16836.

The inliner test is independent but closely related. It verifies that metadata is
preserved when both branches and selects are cloned.

Gerolf Hoflehner 2432bd0ddd [SimplifyCFG] Fix for "endless" loop after dead code removal (Alternative to
D16251)

Summary:
This is a simpler fix to the problem than the dominator approach in
http://reviews.llvm.org/D16251. It adds only values into the gather() while loop
that have been seen before.

The actual endless loop is in the constant compare gather() routine in
Utils/SimplifyCFG.cpp. The same value ret.0.off0.i is pushed back into the
queue:
%.ret.0.off0.i = or i1 %.ret.0.off0.i, %cmp10.i

Here is what happens at the IR level:

for.cond.i:                                       ; preds = %if.end6.i,
%if.end.i54
%ix.0.i = phi i32 [ 0, %if.end.i54 ], [ %inc.i55, %if.end6.i ]
%ret.0.off0.i = phi i1 [false, %if.end.i54], [%.ret.0.off0.i, %if.end6.i] <<<
%cmp2.i = icmp ult i32 %ix.0.i, %11
br i1 %cmp2.i, label %for.body.i, label %LBJ_TmpSimpleNeedExt.exit

if.end6.i:                                        ; preds = %for.body.i
%cmp10.i = icmp ugt i32 %conv.i, %add9.i
%.ret.0.off0.i = or i1 %ret.0.off0.i, %cmp10.i <<<

When if.end.i54 gets eliminated which removes the definition of ret.0.off0.i.
The result is the expression %.ret.0.off0.i = or i1 %.ret.0.off0.i, %cmp10.i
(Note the first ‘or’ operand is now %.ret.0.off0.i, and *NOT* %ret.0.off0.i).
And
now there is use of .ret.0.off0.i before a definition which triggers the
“endless” loop in gather():

while(!DFT.empty()) {

    V = DFT.pop_back_val();   // V is .ret.0.off0.i

    if (Instruction *I = dyn_cast<Instruction>(V)) {
      // If it is a || (or && depending on isEQ), process the operands.
      if (I->getOpcode() == (isEQ ? Instruction::Or : Instruction::And)) {
        DFT.push_back(I->getOperand(1));  // This is now .ret.0.off0.i also
        DFT.push_back(I->getOperand(0));

        continue; // “endless loop” for .ret.0.off0.i
      }

Sanjay Patel 5264cc772c [SimplifyCFG] limit recursion depth when speculating instructions (PR26308)
This is a fix for:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26308

With the switch to using the TTI cost model in:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL228826
...it became possible to hit a zero-cost cycle of instructions (gep -> phi -> gep...), 
so we need a cap for the recursion in DominatesMergePoint().

A recursion depth parameter was already added for a different reason in:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL255660
...so we can just set a limit for it.

I pulled "10" out of the air and made it an independent parameter that we can play with.
It might be higher than it needs to be given the currently low default value of 
PHINodeFoldingThreshold (2). That's the starting cost value that we enter the recursion
with, and most instructions have cost set to TCC_Basic (1), so I don't think we're going
to speculate more than 2 instructions with the current parameters.

As noted in the review and the TODO comment, we can do better than just limiting recursion
depth.

David Majnemer c761afd1d1 [SimplifyCFG] Don't mistake icmp of and for a tree of comparisons
SimplifyCFG tries to turn complex branch conditions into a switch.
Some of it's logic attempts to reason about bitwise arithmetic produced
by InstCombine.  InstCombine can turn things like (X == 2) || (X == 3)
into (X & 1) == 2 and so SimplifyCFG tries to detect when this occurs so
that it can produce a switch instruction.

However, the legality checking was not sufficient to determine whether
or not this had occured.  Correctly check this case by requiring that
the right-hand side of the comparison be a power of two.

This fixes PR26323.

Chen Li d71999ef1b [gc.statepoint] Change gc.statepoint intrinsic's return type to token type instead of i32 type
Summary: This patch changes gc.statepoint intrinsic's return type to token type instead of i32 type. Using token types could prevent LLVM to merge different gc.statepoint nodes into PHI nodes and cause further problems with gc relocations. The patch also changes the way on how gc.relocate and gc.result look for their corresponding gc.statepoint on unwind path. The current implementation uses the selector value extracted from a { i8*, i32 } landingpad as a hook to find the gc.statepoint, while the patch directly uses a token type landingpad (http://reviews.llvm.org/D15405) to find the gc.statepoint.

James Molloy 3d21dcf3ed [SimplifyCFG] Don't create unnecessary PHIs
In conditional store merging, we were creating PHIs when we didn't
need to. If the value to be predicated isn't defined in the block
we're predicating, then it doesn't need a PHI at all (because we only
deal with triangles and diamonds, any value not in the predicated BB
must dominate the predicated BB).

This fixes a large code size increase in some benchmarks in a popular embedded benchmark suite.

Sanjay Patel 38a022623a [SimplifyCFG] allow speculation of exactly one expensive instruction (PR24818)
This is the last general step to allow more IR-level speculation with a safety harness in place in CodeGenPrepare.

The intent is to restore the behavior enabled by:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL228826

but prevent bad performance such as:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24818

Earlier patches in this sequence:
D12882 (disable SimplifyCFG speculation for expensive instructions)
D13297 (have CGP despeculate expensive ops)
D14630 (have CGP despeculate special versions of cttz/ctlz)

As shown in the test cases, we only have two instructions currently affected: ctz for some x86 and fdiv generally. 
Allowing exactly one expensive instruction is a bit of a hack, but it lines up with what is currently implemented
in CGP. If we make the despeculation more general in CGP, we can make the speculation here more liberal.

A follow-up patch will adjust the cost for sqrt and possibly other typically expensive math intrinsics (currently
everything is cheap by default). GPU targets would likely want to override those expensive default costs (just as
they probably should already override the cost of div/rem) because just about any math is cheaper than control-flow
on those targets.

David Majnemer 8a1c45d6e8 [IR] Reformulate LLVM's EH funclet IR
While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
  but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
  experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers.  They cannot
  be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
  This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
  It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
  funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
  control flow edges.  Because of this, we are forced to carefully
  analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
  nesting among funclets.  While we have logic to clone funclets when
  they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
  representation which forbade them upfront.

Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
  flow, just a bunch of simple operands;  catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
  the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
  the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad.  Their presence can be inferred
  implicitly using coloring information.

N.B.  The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for.  An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

Renato Golin 0e77d72b0a Revert "Strip metadata when speculatively hoisting instructions"
This reverts commit r252604, as it broke all ARM and AArch64 buildbots, as
well as some x86, et al.

Igor Laevsky 01c3692a10 Strip metadata when speculatively hoisting instructions
This is fix for PR24059.

When we are hoisting instruction above some condition it may turn out
that metadata on this instruction was control dependant on the condition.
This metadata becomes invalid and we need to drop it.

This patch should cover most obvious places of speculative execution (which
I have found by greping isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute). I think there are more
cases but at least this change covers the severe ones.

Peter Collingbourne d4bff30370 DI: Reverse direction of subprogram -> function edge.
Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.

For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.

This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.

Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.

Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.

James Molloy 4de84ddec9 [SimplifyCFG] Merge conditional stores
We can often end up with conditional stores that cannot be speculated. They can come from fairly simple, idiomatic code:

  if (c & flag1)
    *a = x;
  if (c & flag2)
    *a = y;
  ...

There is no dominating or post-dominating store to a, so it is not legal to move the store unconditionally to the end of the sequence and cache the intermediate result in a register, as we would like to.

It is, however, legal to merge the stores together and do the store once:

  tmp = undef;
  if (c & flag1)
    tmp = x;
  if (c & flag2)
    tmp = y;
  if (c & flag1 || c & flag2)
    *a = tmp;

The real power in this optimization is that it allows arbitrary length ladders such as these to be completely and trivially if-converted. The typical code I'd expect this to trigger on often uses binary-AND with constants as the condition (as in the above example), which means the ending condition can simply be truncated into a single binary-AND too: 'if (c & (flag1|flag2))'. As in the general case there are bitwise operators here, the ladder can often be optimized further too.

This optimization involves potentially increasing register pressure. Even in the simplest case, the lifetime of the first predicate is extended. This can be elided in some cases such as using binary-AND on constants, but not in the general case. Threading 'tmp' through all branches can also increase register pressure.

The optimization as in this patch is enabled by default but kept in a very conservative mode. It will only optimize if it thinks the resultant code should be if-convertable, and additionally if it can thread 'tmp' through at least one existing PHI, so it will only ever in the worst case create one more PHI and extend the lifetime of a predicate.

This doesn't trigger much in LNT, unfortunately, but it does trigger in a big way in a third party test suite.

Philip Reames 846e3e41ed [SimplifyCFG] Constant fold a branch implied by it's incoming edge
The most common use case is when eliminating redundant range checks in an example like the following:
c = a[i+1] + a[i];

Note that all the smarts of the transform (the implication engine) is already in ValueTracking and is tested directly through InstructionSimplify.
