On some targets, the penalty of executing runtime unrolling checks
and then not the unrolled loop can be significantly detrimental to
performance. This results in the need to be more conservative with
the unroll count, keeping a trip count of 2 reduces the overhead as
well as increasing the chance of the unrolled body being executed. But
being conservative leaves performance gains on the table.
This patch enables the unrolling of the remainder loop introduced by
runtime unrolling. This can help reduce the overhead of misunrolled
loops because the cost of non-taken branches is much less than the
cost of the backedge that would normally be executed in the remainder
loop. This allows larger unroll factors to be used without suffering
performance loses with smaller iteration counts.

results when a loop is completely removed.
This is very hard to manifest as a visible bug. You need to arrange for
there to be a subsequent allocation of a 'Loop' object which gets the
exact same address as the one which the unroll deleted, and you need the
LoopAccessAnalysis results to be significant in the way that they're
stale. And you need a million other things to align.
But when it does, you get a deeply mysterious crash due to actually
finding a stale analysis result. This fixes the issue and tests for it
by directly checking we successfully invalidate things. I have not been
able to get *any* test case to reliably trigger this. Changes to LLVM
itself caused the only test case I ever had to cease to crash.
I've looked pretty extensively at less brittle ways of fixing this and
they are actually very, very hard to do. This is a somewhat strange and
unusual case as we have a pass which is deleting an IR unit, but is not
running within that IR unit's pass framework (which is what handles this
cleanly for the normal loop unroll). And where there isn't a definitive
way to clear *all* of the stale cache entries. And where the pass *is*
updating the core analysis that provides the IR units!
For example, we don't have any of these problems with Function analyses
because it is easy to clear out function analyses when the functions
themselves may have been deleted -- we clear an entire module's worth!
But that is too heavy of a hammer down here in the LoopAnalysisManager
layer.
A better long-term solution IMO is to require that AnalysisManager's
make their keys durable to this kind of thing. Specifically, when
caching an analysis for one IR unit that is conceptually "owned" by
a higher level IR unit, the AnalysisManager should incorporate this into
its data structures so that we can reliably clear these results without
having to teach each and every pass to do so manually as we do here. But
that is a change for another day as it will be a fairly invasive change
to the AnalysisManager infrastructure. Until then, this fortunately
seems to be quite rare.

Summary:
Peeling should not occur during the full unrolling invocation early
in the pipeline, but rather later with partial and runtime loop
unrolling. The later loop unrolling invocation will also eventually
utilize profile summary and branch frequency information, which
we would like to use to control peeling. And for ThinLTO we want
to delay peeling until the backend (post thin link) phase, just as
we do for most types of unrolling.
Ensure peeling doesn't occur during the full unrolling invocation
by adding a parameter to the shared implementation function, similar
to the way partial and runtime loop unrolling are disabled.
Performance results for ThinLTO suggest this has a neutral to positive
effect on some internal benchmarks.

Summary:
When simplifying unconditional branches from empty blocks, we pre-test if the
BB belongs to a set of loop headers and keep the block to prevent passes from
destroying canonical loop structure. However, the current algorithm fails if
the destination of the branch is a loop header. Especially when such a loop's
latch block is folded into loop header it results in additional backedges and
LoopSimplify turns it into a nested loop which prevent later optimizations
from being applied (e.g., loop unrolling and loop interleaving).
This patch augments the existing algorithm by further checking if the
destination of the branch belongs to a set of loop headers and defer
eliminating it if yes to LateSimplifyCFG.

This patch is a generalization of the improvement introduced in rL296898.
Previously, we were able to peel one iteration of a loop to get rid of a Phi that becomes
an invariant on the 2nd iteration. In more general case, if a Phi becomes invariant after
N iterations, we can peel N times and turn it into invariant.
In order to do this, we for every Phi in loop's header we define the Invariant Depth value
which is calculated as follows:
Given %x = phi <Inputs from above the loop>, ..., [%y, %back.edge].
If %y is a loop invariant, then Depth(%x) = 1.
If %y is a Phi from the loop header, Depth(%x) = Depth(%y) + 1.
Otherwise, Depth(%x) is infinite.
Notice that if we peel a loop, all Phis with Depth = 1 become invariants,
and all other Phis with finite depth decrease the depth by 1.
Thus, peeling N first iterations allows us to turn all Phis with Depth <= N
into invariants.

This implements PGO-driven loop peeling.
The basic idea is that when the average dynamic trip-count of a loop is known,
based on PGO, to be low, we can expect a performance win by peeling off the
first several iterations of that loop.
Unlike unrolling based on a known trip count, or a trip count multiple, this
doesn't save us the conditional check and branch on each iteration. However,
it does allow us to simplify the straight-line code we get (constant-folding,
etc.). This is important given that we know that we will usually only hit this
code, and not the actual loop.
This is currently disabled by default.

Summary:
...loop after the last iteration.
This is really hard to do correctly. The core problem is that we need to
model liveness through the induction PHIs from iteration to iteration in
order to get the correct results, and we need to correctly de-duplicate
the common subgraphs of instructions feeding some subset of the
induction PHIs. All of this can be driven either from a side effect at
some iteration or from the loop values used after the loop finishes.
This patch implements this by storing the forward-propagating analysis
of each instruction in a cache to recall whether it was free and whether
it has become live and thus counted toward the total unroll cost. Then,
at each sink for a value in the loop, we recursively walk back through
every value that feeds the sink, including looping back through the
iterations as needed, until we have marked the entire input graph as
live. Because we cache this, we never visit instructions more than twice
-- once when we analyze them and put them into the cache, and once when
we count their cost towards the unrolled loop. Also, because the cache
is only two bits and because we are dealing with relatively small
iteration counts, we can store all of this very densely in memory to
avoid this from becoming an excessively slow analysis.
The code here is still pretty gross. I would appreciate suggestions
about better ways to factor or split this up, I've stared too long at
the algorithmic side to really have a good sense of what the design
should probably look at.
Also, it might seem like we should do all of this bottom-up, but I think
that is a red herring. Specifically, the simplification power is *much*
greater working top-down. We can forward propagate very effectively,
even across strange and interesting recurrances around the backedge.
Because we use data to propagate, this doesn't cause a state space
explosion. Doing this level of constant folding, etc, would be very
expensive to do bottom-up because it wouldn't be until the last moment
that you could collapse everything. The current solution is essentially
a top-down simplification with a bottom-up cost accounting which seems
to get the best of both worlds. It makes the simplification incremental
and powerful while leaving everything dead until we *know* it is needed.
Finally, a core property of this approach is its *monotonicity*. At all
times, the current UnrolledCost is a conservatively low estimate. This
ensures that we will never early-exit from the analysis due to exceeding
a threshold when if we had continued, the cost would have gone back
below the threshold. These kinds of bugs can cause incredibly hard to
track down random changes to behavior.
We could use a techinque similar (but much simpler) within the inliner
as well to avoid considering speculated code in the inline cost.

Summary:
Currently we consider such instructions as simplified, which is incorrect,
because if their user isn't simplified, we can't actually simplify them too.
This biases our estimates of profitability: for instance the analyzer expects
much more gains from unrolling memcpy loops than there actually are.

Before r268509, Clang would disable the loop unroll pass when optimizing
for size. That commit enabled it to be able to support unroll pragmas
in -Os builds. However, this regressed binary size in one of Chromium's
DLLs with ~100 KB.
This restores the original behaviour of no unrolling at -Os, but doing it
in LLVM instead of Clang makes more sense, and also allows the pragmas to
keep working.

The unroll pass was disabled by clang in /Os. Those new test cases shows that the pass will behave correctly even if it is not fully disabled. This patch is related in some way to the clang commit (http://reviews.llvm.org/D19827), which re-enables the pass in /Os.

We were overly cautious in our analysis of loops which have invokes
which unwind to EH pads. The loop unroll transform is safe because it
only clones blocks in the loop body, it does not try to split critical
edges involving EH pads. Instead, move the necessary safety check to
LoopUnswitch.
N.B. The safety check for loop unswitch is covered by an existing test
which fails without it.
llvm-svn: 268357
Summary:
It is incorrect to compare TripCount (which is BECount + 1)
with extraiters (or Count) to check if we should enter unrolled
loop or not, because TripCount can potentially overflow
(when BECount is max unsigned integer).
While comparing BECount with (Count - 1) is overflow safe and
therefore correct.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.
Attached to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27284 is a python script
that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

Updating dominators for exit-blocks of the unrolled loops is not enough,
as shown in PR27157. The proper way is to update dominators for all
dominance-children of original loop blocks.
llvm-svn: 265605
Summary:
Specifically, when we perform runtime loop unrolling of a loop that
contains a convergent op, we can only unroll k times, where k divides
the loop trip multiple.
Without this change, we'll happily unroll e.g. the following loop
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
if (i == 0) convergent_op();
foo();
}
into
int i = 0;
if (N % 2 == 1) {
convergent_op();
foo();
++i;
}
for (; i < N - 1; i += 2) {
if (i == 0) convergent_op();
foo();
foo();
}.
This is unsafe, because we've just added a control-flow dependency to
the convergent op in the prelude.
In general, runtime unrolling loops that contain convergent ops is safe
only if we don't have emit a prelude, which occurs when the unroll count
divides the trip multiple.

Currently we're unrolling loops more in minsize than in optsize, which
means -Oz will have a larger code size than -Os. That doesn't make any
sense.
This resolves the FIXME about this in LoopUnrollPass and extends the
optsize test to make sure we use the smaller threshold for minsize as
well.

It's strange that LoopInfo mostly owns the Loop objects, but that it
defers deleting them to the loop pass manager. Instead, change the
oddly named "updateUnloop" to "markAsRemoved" and have it queue the
Loop object for deletion. We can't delete the Loop immediately when we
remove it, since we need its pointer identity still, so we'll mark the
object as "invalid" so that clients can see what's going on.

noduplicate prevents unrolling of small loops that happen to have
barriers in them. If a loop has a barrier in it, it is OK to duplicate
it for the unroll.
llvm-svn: 256075
Summary:
Currently we always recompute LCSSA for outer loops after unrolling an
inner loop. That leads to compile time problem when we have big loop
nests, and we can solve it by avoiding unnecessary work. For instance,
if w eonly do partial unrolling, we don't break LCSSA, so we don't need
to rebuild it. Also, if all exits from the inner loop are inside the
enclosing loop, then complete unrolling won't break LCSSA either.
I replaced unconditional LCSSA recomputation with conditional recomputation +
unconditional assert and added several tests, which were failing when I
experimented with it.
Soon I plan to follow up with a similar patch for recalculation of dominators
tree.

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

Summary:
This patch adds support to check if a loop has loop invariant conditions which lead to loop exits. If so, we know that if the exit path is taken, it is at the first loop iteration. If there is an induction variable used in that exit path whose value has not been updated, it will keep its initial value passing from loop preheader. We can therefore rewrite the exit value with
its initial value. This will help remove phis created by LCSSA and enable other optimizations like loop unswitch.

As a follow-up to r246098, require `DISubprogram` definitions
(`isDefinition: true`) to be 'distinct'. Specifically, add an assembler
check, a verifier check, and bitcode upgrading logic to combat testcase
bitrot after the `DIBuilder` change.
While working on the testcases, I realized that
test/Linker/subprogram-linkonce-weak-odr.ll isn't relevant anymore. Its
purpose was to check for a corner case in PR22792 where two subprogram
definitions match exactly and share the same metadata node. The new
verifier check, requiring that subprogram definitions are 'distinct',
precludes that possibility.
I updated almost all the IR with the following script:
git grep -l -E -e '= !DISubprogram\(.* isDefinition: true' |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's/= \(!DISubprogram(.*, isDefinition: true\)/= distinct \1/'
Likely some variant of would work for out-of-tree testcases.

This change adds the unroll metadata "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" which directs
the optimizer to unroll a loop fully if the trip count is known at compile time, and
unroll partially if the trip count is not known at compile time. This differs from
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" which explicitly does not unroll a loop if the trip count is not
known at compile time.
The "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" is intended to be added for loops annotated with
"#pragma unroll".

through PHI nodes across iterations.
This patch teaches the new advanced loop unrolling heuristics to propagate
constants into the loop from the preheader and around the backedge after
simulating each iteration. This lets us brute force solve simple recurrances
that aren't modeled effectively by SCEV. It also makes it more clear why we
need to process the loop in-order rather than bottom-up which might otherwise
make much more sense (for example, for DCE).
This came out of an attempt I'm making to develop a principled way to account
for dead code in the unroll estimation. When I implemented
a forward-propagating version of that it produced incorrect results due to
failing to propagate *cost* between loop iterations through the PHI nodes, and
it occured to me we really should at least propagate simplifications across
those edges, and it is quite easy thanks to the loop being in canonical and
LCSSA form.

Summary:
This patch updates TargetTransformInfoImplCRTPBase::getGEPCost to consider
addressing modes. It now returns TCC_Free when the GEP can be completely folded
to an addresing mode.
I started this patch as I refactored SLSR. Function isGEPFoldable looks common
and is indeed used by some WIP of mine. So I extracted that logic to getGEPCost.
Furthermore, I noticed getGEPCost wasn't directly tested anywhere. The best
testing bed seems CostModel, but its getInstructionCost method invokes
getAddressComputationCost for GEPs which provides very coarse estimation. So
this patch also makes getInstructionCost call the updated getGEPCost for GEPs.
This change inevitably breaks some tests because the cost model changes, but
nothing looks seriously wrong -- if we believe the new cost model is the right
way to go, these tests should be updated.
This patch is not perfect yet -- the comments in some tests need to be updated.
I want to know whether this is a right approach before fixing those details.

Enable runtime unrolling for loops with unroll count metadata ("#pragma unroll N")

The new naming is (to me) much easier to understand. Here is a summary
of the new state of the world:
- '*Threshold' is the threshold for full unrolling. It is measured
against the estimated unrolled cost as computed by getUserCost in TTI
(or CodeMetrics, etc). We will exceed this threshold when unrolling
loops where unrolling exposes a significant degree of simplification
of the logic within the loop.
- '*PercentDynamicCostSavedThreshold' is the percentage of the loop's
estimated dynamic execution cost which needs to be saved by unrolling
to apply a discount to the estimated unrolled cost.
- '*DynamicCostSavingsDiscount' is the discount applied to the estimated
unrolling cost when the dynamic savings are expected to be high.
When actually analyzing the loop, we now produce both an estimated
unrolled cost, and an estimated rolled cost. The rolled cost is notably
a dynamic estimate based on our analysis of the expected execution of
each iteration.
While we're still working to build up the infrastructure for making
these estimates, to me it is much more clear *how* to make them better
when they have reasonably descriptive names. For example, we may want to
apply estimated (from heuristics or profiles) dynamic execution weights
to the *dynamic* cost estimates. If we start doing that, we would also
need to track the static unrolled cost and the dynamic unrolled cost, as
only the latter could reasonably be weighted by profile information.
This patch is sadly not without functionality change for the new unroll
analysis logic. Buried in the heuristic management were several things
that surprised me. For example, we never subtracted the optimized
instruction count off when comparing against the unroll heursistics!
I don't know if this just got lost somewhere along the way or what, but
with the new accounting of things, this is much easier to keep track of
and we use the post-simplification cost estimate to compare to the
thresholds, and use the dynamic cost reduction ratio to select whether
we can exceed the baseline threshold.
The old values of these flags also don't necessarily make sense. My
impression is that none of these thresholds or discounts have been tuned
yet, and so they're just arbitrary placehold numbers. As such, I've not
bothered to adjust for the fact that this is now a discount and not
a tow-tier threshold model. We need to tune all these values once the
logic is ready to be enabled.

On X86 (and similar OOO cores) unrolling is very limited, and even if the
runtime unrolling is otherwise profitable, the expense of a division to compute
the trip count could greatly outweigh the benefits. On the A2, we unroll a lot,
and the benefits of unrolling are more significant (seeing a 5x or 6x speedup
is not uncommon), so we're more able to tolerate the expense, on average, of a
division to compute the trip count.

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x

Now that the way that the partial unrolling threshold for small loops is used
to compute the unrolling factor as been corrected, a slightly smaller threshold
is preferable. This is expected; other targets may need to re-tune as well.
llvm-svn: 225566
When we compute the size of a loop, we include the branch on the backedge and
the comparison feeding the conditional branch. Under normal circumstances,
these don't get replicated with the rest of the loop body when we unroll. This
led to the somewhat surprising behavior that really small loops would not get
unrolled enough -- they could be unrolled more and the resulting loop would be
below the threshold, because we were assuming they'd take
(LoopSize * UnrollingFactor) instructions after unrolling, instead of
(((LoopSize-2) * UnrollingFactor)+2) instructions. This fixes that computation.
llvm-svn: 225565
The P7 benefits from not have really-small loops so that we either have
multiple dispatch groups in the loop and/or the ability to form more-full
dispatch groups during scheduling. Setting the partial unrolling threshold to
44 seems good, empirically, for the P7. Compared to using no late partial
unrolling, this yields the following test-suite speedups:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Adobe-C++/simple_types_constant_folding
-66.3253% +/- 24.1975%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc-C++/oopack_v1p8

-27.8351% +/- 12.2712%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Stanford/Bubblesort
-30.9898% +/- 22.4647%
I've speculatively added a similar setting for the P8. Also, I've noticed that
the unroller does not quite calculate the unrolling factor correctly for really
tiny loops because it neglects to account for the fact that not every loop body
replicant contains an ending branch and counter increment. I'll fix that later.

Propagate whether `MDNode`s are 'distinct' through the other types of IR
(assembly and bitcode). This adds the `distinct` keyword to assembly.
Currently, no one actually calls `MDNode::getDistinct()`, so these nodes
only get created for:
- self-references, which are never uniqued, and
- nodes whose operands are replaced that hit a uniquing collision.
The concept of distinct nodes is still not quite first-class, since
distinct-ness doesn't yet survive across `MapMetadata()`.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

Currently LoopUnroll generates a prologue loop before the main loop
body to execute first N%UnrollFactor iterations. Also, this loop is
used if trip-count can overflow - it's determined by a runtime check.
However, we've been mistakenly optimizing this loop to a linear code for
UnrollFactor = 2, not taking into account that it also serves as a safe
version of the loop if its trip-count overflows.

In a case where we have a no {un,}signed wrap flag on the increment, if
RHS - Start is constant then we can avoid inserting a max operation bewteen
the two, since we can statically determine which is greater.
This allows us to unroll loops such as:
void testcase3(int v) {
for (int i=v; i<=v+1; ++i)
f(i);
}
