| Kaleidoscope: Adding JIT and Optimizer Support
 | |
| ==============================================

 | |
| 
 | |
| Chapter 4 Introduction
 | |
| ======================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Welcome to Chapter 4 of the "`Implementing a language with
 | |
| LLVM <index.html>`_" tutorial. Chapters 1-3 described the implementation
 | |
| of a simple language and added support for generating LLVM IR. This
 | |
| chapter describes two new techniques: adding optimizer support to your
 | |
| language, and adding JIT compiler support. These additions will
 | |
| demonstrate how to get nice, efficient code for the Kaleidoscope
 | |
| language.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Trivial Constant Folding
 | |
| ========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Note:** the default ``IRBuilder`` now always includes the constant
 | |
| folding optimisations below.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Our demonstration for Chapter 3 is elegant and easy to extend.
 | |
| Unfortunately, it does not produce wonderful code. For example, when
 | |
| compiling simple code, we don't get obvious optimizations:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> def test(x) 1+2+x;
 | |
|     Read function definition:
 | |
|     define double @test(double %x) {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             %addtmp = fadd double 1.000000e+00, 2.000000e+00
 | |
|             %addtmp1 = fadd double %addtmp, %x
 | |
|             ret double %addtmp1
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
| This code is a very, very literal transcription of the AST built by
 | |
| parsing the input. As such, this transcription lacks optimizations like
 | |
| constant folding (we'd like to get "``add x, 3.0``" in the example
 | |
| above) as well as other more important optimizations. Constant folding,
 | |
| in particular, is a very common and very important optimization: so much
 | |
| so that many language implementors implement constant folding support in
 | |
| their AST representation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| With LLVM, you don't need this support in the AST. Since all calls to
 | |
| build LLVM IR go through the LLVM builder, it would be nice if the
 | |
| builder itself checked to see if there was a constant folding
 | |
| opportunity when you call it. If so, it could just do the constant fold
 | |
| and return the constant instead of creating an instruction. This is
 | |
| exactly what the ``LLVMFoldingBuilder`` class does.
 | |
| 
 | |
| All we did was switch from ``LLVMBuilder`` to ``LLVMFoldingBuilder``.
 | |
| Though we change no other code, we now have all of our instructions
 | |
| implicitly constant folded without us having to do anything about it.
 | |
| For example, the input above now compiles to:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> def test(x) 1+2+x;
 | |
|     Read function definition:
 | |
|     define double @test(double %x) {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             %addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
 | |
|             ret double %addtmp
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
| Well, that was easy :). In practice, we recommend always using
 | |
| ``LLVMFoldingBuilder`` when generating code like this. It has no
 | |
| "syntactic overhead" for its use (you don't have to uglify your compiler
 | |
| with constant checks everywhere) and it can dramatically reduce the
 | |
| amount of LLVM IR that is generated in some cases (particular for
 | |
| languages with a macro preprocessor or that use a lot of constants).
 | |
| 
 | |
| On the other hand, the ``LLVMFoldingBuilder`` is limited by the fact
 | |
| that it does all of its analysis inline with the code as it is built. If
 | |
| you take a slightly more complex example:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));
 | |
|     ready> Read function definition:
 | |
|     define double @test(double %x) {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             %addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
 | |
|             %addtmp1 = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
 | |
|             %multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp1
 | |
|             ret double %multmp
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this case, the LHS and RHS of the multiplication are the same value.
 | |
| We'd really like to see this generate "``tmp = x+3; result = tmp*tmp;``"
 | |
| instead of computing "``x*3``" twice.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Unfortunately, no amount of local analysis will be able to detect and
 | |
| correct this. This requires two transformations: reassociation of
 | |
| expressions (to make the add's lexically identical) and Common
 | |
| Subexpression Elimination (CSE) to delete the redundant add instruction.
 | |
| Fortunately, LLVM provides a broad range of optimizations that you can
 | |
| use, in the form of "passes".
 | |
| 
 | |
| LLVM Optimization Passes
 | |
| ========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| LLVM provides many optimization passes, which do many different sorts of
 | |
| things and have different tradeoffs. Unlike other systems, LLVM doesn't
 | |
| hold to the mistaken notion that one set of optimizations is right for
 | |
| all languages and for all situations. LLVM allows a compiler implementor
 | |
| to make complete decisions about what optimizations to use, in which
 | |
| order, and in what situation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| As a concrete example, LLVM supports both "whole module" passes, which
 | |
| look across as large of body of code as they can (often a whole file,
 | |
| but if run at link time, this can be a substantial portion of the whole
 | |
| program). It also supports and includes "per-function" passes which just
 | |
| operate on a single function at a time, without looking at other
 | |
| functions. For more information on passes and how they are run, see the
 | |
| `How to Write a Pass <../WritingAnLLVMPass.html>`_ document and the
 | |
| `List of LLVM Passes <../Passes.html>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| For Kaleidoscope, we are currently generating functions on the fly, one
 | |
| at a time, as the user types them in. We aren't shooting for the
 | |
| ultimate optimization experience in this setting, but we also want to
 | |
| catch the easy and quick stuff where possible. As such, we will choose
 | |
| to run a few per-function optimizations as the user types the function
 | |
| in. If we wanted to make a "static Kaleidoscope compiler", we would use
 | |
| exactly the code we have now, except that we would defer running the
 | |
| optimizer until the entire file has been parsed.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In order to get per-function optimizations going, we need to set up a
 | |
| `Llvm.PassManager <../WritingAnLLVMPass.html#passmanager>`_ to hold and
 | |
| organize the LLVM optimizations that we want to run. Once we have that,
 | |
| we can add a set of optimizations to run. The code looks like this:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: ocaml
 | |
| 
 | |
|       (* Create the JIT. *)
 | |
|       let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in
 | |
|       let the_fpm = PassManager.create_function Codegen.the_module in
 | |
| 
 | |
|       (* Set up the optimizer pipeline.  Start with registering info about how the
 | |
|        * target lays out data structures. *)
 | |
|       DataLayout.add (ExecutionEngine.target_data the_execution_engine) the_fpm;
 | |
| 
 | |
|       (* Do simple "peephole" optimizations and bit-twiddling optzn. *)
 | |
|       add_instruction_combining the_fpm;
 | |
| 
 | |
|       (* reassociate expressions. *)
 | |
|       add_reassociation the_fpm;
 | |
| 
 | |
|       (* Eliminate Common SubExpressions. *)
 | |
|       add_gvn the_fpm;
 | |
| 
 | |
|       (* Simplify the control flow graph (deleting unreachable blocks, etc). *)
 | |
|       add_cfg_simplification the_fpm;
 | |
| 
 | |
|       ignore (PassManager.initialize the_fpm);
 | |
| 
 | |
|       (* Run the main "interpreter loop" now. *)
 | |
|       Toplevel.main_loop the_fpm the_execution_engine stream;
 | |
| 
 | |
| The meat of the matter here, is the definition of "``the_fpm``". It
 | |
| requires a pointer to the ``the_module`` to construct itself. Once it is
 | |
| set up, we use a series of "add" calls to add a bunch of LLVM passes.
 | |
| The first pass is basically boilerplate, it adds a pass so that later
 | |
| optimizations know how the data structures in the program are laid out.
 | |
| The "``the_execution_engine``" variable is related to the JIT, which we
 | |
| will get to in the next section.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this case, we choose to add 4 optimization passes. The passes we
 | |
| chose here are a pretty standard set of "cleanup" optimizations that are
 | |
| useful for a wide variety of code. I won't delve into what they do but,
 | |
| believe me, they are a good starting place :).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Once the ``Llvm.PassManager.`` is set up, we need to make use of it. We
 | |
| do this by running it after our newly created function is constructed
 | |
| (in ``Codegen.codegen_func``), but before it is returned to the client:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: ocaml
 | |
| 
 | |
|     let codegen_func the_fpm = function
 | |
|           ...
 | |
|           try
 | |
|             let ret_val = codegen_expr body in
 | |
| 
 | |
|             (* Finish off the function. *)
 | |
|             let _ = build_ret ret_val builder in
 | |
| 
 | |
|             (* Validate the generated code, checking for consistency. *)
 | |
|             Llvm_analysis.assert_valid_function the_function;
 | |
| 
 | |
|             (* Optimize the function. *)
 | |
|             let _ = PassManager.run_function the_function the_fpm in
 | |
| 
 | |
|             the_function
 | |
| 
 | |
| As you can see, this is pretty straightforward. The ``the_fpm``
 | |
| optimizes and updates the LLVM Function\* in place, improving
 | |
| (hopefully) its body. With this in place, we can try our test above
 | |
| again:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));
 | |
|     ready> Read function definition:
 | |
|     define double @test(double %x) {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             %addtmp = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
 | |
|             %multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp
 | |
|             ret double %multmp
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
| As expected, we now get our nicely optimized code, saving a floating
 | |
| point add instruction from every execution of this function.
 | |
| 
 | |
| LLVM provides a wide variety of optimizations that can be used in
 | |
| certain circumstances. Some `documentation about the various
 | |
| passes <../Passes.html>`_ is available, but it isn't very complete.
 | |
| Another good source of ideas can come from looking at the passes that
 | |
| ``Clang`` runs to get started. The "``opt``" tool allows you to
 | |
| experiment with passes from the command line, so you can see if they do
 | |
| anything.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now that we have reasonable code coming out of our front-end, lets talk
 | |
| about executing it!
 | |
| 
 | |
| Adding a JIT Compiler
 | |
| =====================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Code that is available in LLVM IR can have a wide variety of tools
 | |
| applied to it. For example, you can run optimizations on it (as we did
 | |
| above), you can dump it out in textual or binary forms, you can compile
 | |
| the code to an assembly file (.s) for some target, or you can JIT
 | |
| compile it. The nice thing about the LLVM IR representation is that it
 | |
| is the "common currency" between many different parts of the compiler.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this section, we'll add JIT compiler support to our interpreter. The
 | |
| basic idea that we want for Kaleidoscope is to have the user enter
 | |
| function bodies as they do now, but immediately evaluate the top-level
 | |
| expressions they type in. For example, if they type in "1 + 2;", we
 | |
| should evaluate and print out 3. If they define a function, they should
 | |
| be able to call it from the command line.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In order to do this, we first declare and initialize the JIT. This is
 | |
| done by adding a global variable and a call in ``main``:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: ocaml
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ...
 | |
|     let main () =
 | |
|       ...
 | |
|       (* Create the JIT. *)
 | |
|       let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in
 | |
|       ...
 | |
| 
 | |
| This creates an abstract "Execution Engine" which can be either a JIT
 | |
| compiler or the LLVM interpreter. LLVM will automatically pick a JIT
 | |
| compiler for you if one is available for your platform, otherwise it
 | |
| will fall back to the interpreter.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Once the ``Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.t`` is created, the JIT
 | |
| is ready to be used. There are a variety of APIs that are useful, but
 | |
| the simplest one is the
 | |
| "``Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.run_function``" function. This
 | |
| method JIT compiles the specified LLVM Function and returns a function
 | |
| pointer to the generated machine code. In our case, this means that we
 | |
| can change the code that parses a top-level expression to look like
 | |
| this:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: ocaml
 | |
| 
 | |
|                 (* Evaluate a top-level expression into an anonymous function. *)
 | |
|                 let e = Parser.parse_toplevel stream in
 | |
|                 print_endline "parsed a top-level expr";
 | |
|                 let the_function = Codegen.codegen_func the_fpm e in
 | |
|                 dump_value the_function;
 | |
| 
 | |
|                 (* JIT the function, returning a function pointer. *)
 | |
|                 let result = ExecutionEngine.run_function the_function [||]
 | |
|                   the_execution_engine in
 | |
| 
 | |
|                 print_string "Evaluated to ";
 | |
|                 print_float (GenericValue.as_float Codegen.double_type result);
 | |
|                 print_newline ();
 | |
| 
 | |
| Recall that we compile top-level expressions into a self-contained LLVM
 | |
| function that takes no arguments and returns the computed double.
 | |
| Because the LLVM JIT compiler matches the native platform ABI, this
 | |
| means that you can just cast the result pointer to a function pointer of
 | |
| that type and call it directly. This means, there is no difference
 | |
| between JIT compiled code and native machine code that is statically
 | |
| linked into your application.
 | |
| 
 | |
| With just these two changes, lets see how Kaleidoscope works now!
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> 4+5;
 | |
|     define double @""() {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             ret double 9.000000e+00
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
|     Evaluated to 9.000000
 | |
| 
 | |
| Well this looks like it is basically working. The dump of the function
 | |
| shows the "no argument function that always returns double" that we
 | |
| synthesize for each top level expression that is typed in. This
 | |
| demonstrates very basic functionality, but can we do more?
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> def testfunc(x y) x + y*2;
 | |
|     Read function definition:
 | |
|     define double @testfunc(double %x, double %y) {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             %multmp = fmul double %y, 2.000000e+00
 | |
|             %addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %x
 | |
|             ret double %addtmp
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> testfunc(4, 10);
 | |
|     define double @""() {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             %calltmp = call double @testfunc(double 4.000000e+00, double 1.000000e+01)
 | |
|             ret double %calltmp
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
|     Evaluated to 24.000000
 | |
| 
 | |
| This illustrates that we can now call user code, but there is something
 | |
| a bit subtle going on here. Note that we only invoke the JIT on the
 | |
| anonymous functions that *call testfunc*, but we never invoked it on
 | |
| *testfunc* itself. What actually happened here is that the JIT scanned
 | |
| for all non-JIT'd functions transitively called from the anonymous
 | |
| function and compiled all of them before returning from
 | |
| ``run_function``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The JIT provides a number of other more advanced interfaces for things
 | |
| like freeing allocated machine code, rejit'ing functions to update them,
 | |
| etc. However, even with this simple code, we get some surprisingly
 | |
| powerful capabilities - check this out (I removed the dump of the
 | |
| anonymous functions, you should get the idea by now :) :
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> extern sin(x);
 | |
|     Read extern:
 | |
|     declare double @sin(double)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> extern cos(x);
 | |
|     Read extern:
 | |
|     declare double @cos(double)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> sin(1.0);
 | |
|     Evaluated to 0.841471
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> def foo(x) sin(x)*sin(x) + cos(x)*cos(x);
 | |
|     Read function definition:
 | |
|     define double @foo(double %x) {
 | |
|     entry:
 | |
|             %calltmp = call double @sin(double %x)
 | |
|             %multmp = fmul double %calltmp, %calltmp
 | |
|             %calltmp2 = call double @cos(double %x)
 | |
|             %multmp4 = fmul double %calltmp2, %calltmp2
 | |
|             %addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %multmp4
 | |
|             ret double %addtmp
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ready> foo(4.0);
 | |
|     Evaluated to 1.000000
 | |
| 
 | |
| Whoa, how does the JIT know about sin and cos? The answer is
 | |
| surprisingly simple: in this example, the JIT started execution of a
 | |
| function and got to a function call. It realized that the function was
 | |
| not yet JIT compiled and invoked the standard set of routines to resolve
 | |
| the function. In this case, there is no body defined for the function,
 | |
| so the JIT ended up calling "``dlsym("sin")``" on the Kaleidoscope
 | |
| process itself. Since "``sin``" is defined within the JIT's address
 | |
| space, it simply patches up calls in the module to call the libm version
 | |
| of ``sin`` directly.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The LLVM JIT provides a number of interfaces (look in the
 | |
| ``llvm_executionengine.mli`` file) for controlling how unknown functions
 | |
| get resolved. It allows you to establish explicit mappings between IR
 | |
| objects and addresses (useful for LLVM global variables that you want to
 | |
| map to static tables, for example), allows you to dynamically decide on
 | |
| the fly based on the function name, and even allows you to have the JIT
 | |
| compile functions lazily the first time they're called.
 | |
| 
 | |
| One interesting application of this is that we can now extend the
 | |
| language by writing arbitrary C code to implement operations. For
 | |
| example, if we add:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: c++
 | |
| 
 | |
|     /* putchard - putchar that takes a double and returns 0. */
 | |
|     extern "C"
 | |
|     double putchard(double X) {
 | |
|       putchar((char)X);
 | |
|       return 0;
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now we can produce simple output to the console by using things like:
 | |
| "``extern putchard(x); putchard(120);``", which prints a lowercase 'x'
 | |
| on the console (120 is the ASCII code for 'x'). Similar code could be
 | |
| used to implement file I/O, console input, and many other capabilities
 | |
| in Kaleidoscope.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This completes the JIT and optimizer chapter of the Kaleidoscope
 | |
| tutorial. At this point, we can compile a non-Turing-complete
 | |
| programming language, optimize and JIT compile it in a user-driven way.
 | |
| Next up we'll look into `extending the language with control flow
 | |
| constructs <OCamlLangImpl5.html>`_, tackling some interesting LLVM IR
 | |
| issues along the way.
