Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions. Writing a backend pass is *sooo* much better now than it used to be. =D llvm-svn: 142641

The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks.

This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains.

Completely re-write the algorithm behind MachineBlockPlacement based on discussions with Andy. Fundamentally, the previous algorithm is both counter productive on several fronts and prioritizing things which aren't necessarily the most important: static branch prediction. The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks.

This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains.

/// \brief Iterator over blocks within the chain.
Rewrite how machine block placement handles loop rotation. This is a complex change that resulted from a great deal of experimentation with several different benchmarks. The one which proved the most useful is included as a test case, but I don't know that it captures all of the relevant changes, as I didn't have specific regression tests for each, they were more the result of reasoning about what the old algorithm would possibly do wrong. I'm also failing at the moment to craft more targeted regression tests for these changes, if anyone has ideas, it would be welcome. The first big thing broken with the old algorithm is the idea that we can take a basic block which has a loop-exiting successor and a looping successor and use the looping successor as the layout top in order to get that particular block to be the bottom of the loop after layout. This happens to work in many cases, but not in all. The second big thing broken was that we didn't try to select the exit which fell into the nearest enclosing loop (to which we exit at all). As a consequence, even if the rotation worked perfectly, it would result in one of two bad layouts. Either the bottom of the loop would get fallthrough, skipping across a nearer enclosing loop and thereby making it discontiguous, or it would be forced to take an explicit jump over the nearest enclosing loop to earch its successor. The point of the rotation is to get fallthrough, so we need it to fallthrough to the nearest loop it can. The fix to the first issue is to actually layout the loop from the loop header, and then rotate the loop such that the correct exiting edge can be a fallthrough edge. This is actually much easier than I anticipated because we can handle all the hard parts of finding a viable rotation before we do the layout. We just store that, and then rotate after layout is finished. No inner loops get split across the post-rotation backedge because we check for them when selecting the rotation. That fix exposed a latent problem with our exitting block selection -- we should allow the backedge to point into the middle of some inner-loop chain as there is no real penalty to it, the whole point is that it *won't* be a fallthrough edge. This may have blocked the rotation at all in some cases, I have no idea and no test case as I've never seen it in practice, it was just noticed by inspection. Finally, all of these fixes, and studying the loops they produce, highlighted another problem: in rotating loops like this, we sometimes fail to align the destination of these backwards jumping edges. Fix this by actually walking the backwards edges rather than relying on loopinfo. This fixes regressions on heapsort if block placement is enabled as well as lots of other cases where the previous logic would introduce an abundance of unnecessary branches into the execution. llvm-svn: 154783

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions. Writing a backend pass is *sooo* much better now than it used to be. =D llvm-svn: 142641

Completely re-write the algorithm behind MachineBlockPlacement based on discussions with Andy. Fundamentally, the previous algorithm is both counter productive on several fronts and prioritizing things which aren't necessarily the most important: static branch prediction. The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks. It coalesces adjacent blocks within the loop where the CFG allows based on the most likely path taken. Finally, it topologically orders the block chains that have been formed. This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains. I'm also planning on adding statistics to model how well the algorithm does at laying out blocks based on the probabilities it receives. The old tests mostly still pass, and I have some new tests to add, but the nested loops are still behaving very strangely. This almost seems like working-as-intended as it rotated the exit branch to be fallthrough, but I'm not convinced this is actually the best layout. It is well supported by the probabilities for loops we currently get, but those are pretty broken for nested loops, so this may change later. llvm-svn: 142743

Rewrite #3 of machine block placement. This is based somewhat on the second algorithm, but only loosely. It is more heavily based on the last discussion I had with Andy. It continues to walk from the inner-most loop outward, but there is a key difference. With this algorithm we ensure that as we visit each loop, the entire loop is merged into a single chain. At the end, the entire function is treated as a "loop", and merged into a single chain. This chain forms the desired sequence of blocks within the function. Switching to a single algorithm removes my biggest problem with the previous approaches -- they had different behavior depending on which system triggered the layout. Now there is exactly one algorithm and one basis for the decision making. The other key difference is how the chain is formed. This is based heavily on the idea Andy mentioned of keeping a worklist of blocks that are viable layout successors based on the CFG. Having this set allows us to consistently select the best layout successor for each block. It is expensive though. The code here remains very rough. There is a lot that needs to be done to clean up the code, and to make the runtime cost of this pass much lower. Very much WIP, but this was a giant chunk of code and I'd rather folks see it sooner than later. Everything remains behind a flag of course. I've added a couple of tests to exercise the issues that this iteration was motivated by: loop structure preservation. I've also fixed one test that was exhibiting the broken behavior of the previous version. llvm-svn: 144495

Codegen: Make chains from trellis-shaped CFGs Lay out trellis-shaped CFGs optimally. A trellis of the shape below: A B |\ /| | \ / | | X | | / \ | |/ \| C D would be laid out A; B->C ; D by the current layout algorithm. Now we identify trellises and lay them out either A->C; B->D or A->D; B->C. This scales with an increasing number of predecessors. A trellis is a a group of 2 or more predecessor blocks that all have the same successors. because of this we can tail duplicate to extend existing trellises. As an example consider the following CFG: B D F H / \ / \ / \ / \ A---C---E---G---Ret Where A,C,E,G are all small (Currently 2 instructions). The CFG preserving layout is then A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,Ret. The current code will copy C into B, E into D and G into F and yield the layout A,C,B(C),E,D(E),F(G),G,H,ret define void @straight_test(i32 %tag) { entry: br label %test1 test1: ; A %tagbit1 = and i32 %tag, 1 %tagbit1eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit1, 0 br i1 %tagbit1eq0, label %test2, label %optional1 optional1: ; B call void @a() br label %test2 test2: ; C %tagbit2 = and i32 %tag, 2 %tagbit2eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit2, 0 br i1 %tagbit2eq0, label %test3, label %optional2 optional2: ; D call void @b() br label %test3 test3: ; E %tagbit3 = and i32 %tag, 4 %tagbit3eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit3, 0 br i1 %tagbit3eq0, label %test4, label %optional3 optional3: ; F call void @c() br label %test4 test4: ; G %tagbit4 = and i32 %tag, 8 %tagbit4eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit4, 0 br i1 %tagbit4eq0, label %exit, label %optional4 optional4: ; H call void @d() br label %exit exit: ret void } here is the layout after D27742: straight_test: # @straight_test ; ...

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt.

[MachineBlockPlacement] Don't make blocks "uneditable" Summary: This fixes an issue with MachineBlockPlacement due to a badly timed call to `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true. The timeline is as follows: 1. `MachineBlockPlacement::maybeTailDuplicateBlock` calls `TailDup.shouldTailDuplicate` on its argument, which in turn calls `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true. 2. This `analyzeBranch` call edits the terminator sequence of the block based on the physical layout of the machine function, turning an unanalyzable non-fallthrough block to a unanalyzable fallthrough block. Normally MBP bails out of rearranging such blocks, but this block was unanalyzable non-fallthrough (and thus rearrangeable) the first time MBP looked at it, and so it goes ahead and decides where it should be placed in the function. 3. When placing this block MBP fails to analyze and thus update the block in keeping with the new physical layout. Concretely, before (1) we have something like: ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL1 > jmp LBL1 LBL1: ... A LBL2: ... B ``` In (2), analyze branch simplifies this to ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 > ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump removed LBL1: ... A LBL2: ... B ``` In (3), MachineBlockPlacement goes ahead with its plan of putting LBL2 after the first block since that is profitable. ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 > ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump LBL2: ... B LBL1: ... A ``` and the program now has incorrect behavior (we no longer fall-through from `LBL0` to `LBL1`) because MBP can no longer edit LBL0. There are several possible solutions, but I went with removing the teeth off of the `analyzeBranch` calls in TailDuplicator. That makes thinking about the result of these calls easier, and breaks nothing in the lit test suite. I've also added some bookkeeping to the MachineBlockPlacement pass and used that to write an assert that would have caught this.

Codegen: Make chains from trellis-shaped CFGs Lay out trellis-shaped CFGs optimally. A trellis of the shape below: A B |\ /| | \ / | | X | | / \ | |/ \| C D would be laid out A; B->C ; D by the current layout algorithm. Now we identify trellises and lay them out either A->C; B->D or A->D; B->C. This scales with an increasing number of predecessors. A trellis is a a group of 2 or more predecessor blocks that all have the same successors. because of this we can tail duplicate to extend existing trellises. As an example consider the following CFG: B D F H / \ / \ / \ / \ A---C---E---G---Ret Where A,C,E,G are all small (Currently 2 instructions). The CFG preserving layout is then A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,Ret. The current code will copy C into B, E into D and G into F and yield the layout A,C,B(C),E,D(E),F(G),G,H,ret define void @straight_test(i32 %tag) { entry: br label %test1 test1: ; A %tagbit1 = and i32 %tag, 1 %tagbit1eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit1, 0 br i1 %tagbit1eq0, label %test2, label %optional1 optional1: ; B call void @a() br label %test2 test2: ; C %tagbit2 = and i32 %tag, 2 %tagbit2eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit2, 0 br i1 %tagbit2eq0, label %test3, label %optional2 optional2: ; D call void @b() br label %test3 test3: ; E %tagbit3 = and i32 %tag, 4 %tagbit3eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit3, 0 br i1 %tagbit3eq0, label %test4, label %optional3 optional3: ; F call void @c() br label %test4 test4: ; G %tagbit4 = and i32 %tag, 8 %tagbit4eq0 = icmp eq i32 %tagbit4, 0 br i1 %tagbit4eq0, label %exit, label %optional4 optional4: ; H call void @d() br label %exit exit: ret void } here is the layout after D27742: straight_test: # @straight_test ; ...

With this patch, we improve the layouts of such trellises, and decrease the cost calculation for tail-duplication accordingly. This patch produces the layout A,C,E,G,B,D,F,H,Ret. This layout does have back edges, which is a negative, but it has a bigger compensating positive, which is that it handles the case where there are long strings of skipped blocks much better than the original layout. Both layouts handle runs of executed blocks equally well. Branch prediction also improves if there is any correlation between subsequent optional blocks. Here is the resulting concrete layout: straight_test: # @straight_test ; BB#0: # %entry ; A (merged with test1) mr 30, 3 andi. 3, 30, 1 bc 12, 1, .LBB0_4 ; BB#1: # %test2 ; C rlwinm. 3, 30, 0, 30, 30 bne 0, .LBB0_5 .LBB0_2: # %test3 ; E rlwinm. 3, 30, 0, 29, 29 bne 0, .LBB0_6 .LBB0_3: # %test4 ; G rlwinm. 3, 30, 0, 28, 28 bne 0, .LBB0_7 b .LBB0_8 .LBB0_4: # %optional1 ; B (Copy of C) bl a nop rlwinm. 3, 30, 0, 30, 30 beq 0, .LBB0_2 .LBB0_5: # %optional2 ; D (Copy of E) bl b nop rlwinm. 3, 30, 0, 29, 29 beq 0, .LBB0_3 .LBB0_6: # %optional3 ; F (Copy of G) bl c nop rlwinm. 3, 30, 0, 28, 28 beq 0, .LBB0_8 .LBB0_7: # %optional4 ; H bl d nop .LBB0_8: # %exit Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D28522 llvm-svn: 295223

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions.

Completely re-write the algorithm behind MachineBlockPlacement based on discussions with Andy. Fundamentally, the previous algorithm is both counter productive on several fronts and prioritizing things which aren't necessarily the most important: static branch prediction. The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks. It coalesces adjacent blocks within the loop where the CFG allows based on the most likely path taken. Finally, it topologically orders the block chains that have been formed. This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains. I'm also planning on adding statistics to model how well the algorithm does at laying out blocks based on the probabilities it receives. The old tests mostly still pass, and I have some new tests to add, but the nested loops are still behaving very strangely. This almost seems like working-as-intended as it rotated the exit branch to be fallthrough, but I'm not convinced this is actually the best layout. It is well supported by the probabilities for loops we currently get, but those are pretty broken for nested loops, so this may change later. llvm-svn: 142743

Rewrite #3 of machine block placement. This is based somewhat on the second algorithm, but only loosely. It is more heavily based on the last discussion I had with Andy. It continues to walk from the inner-most loop outward, but there is a key difference. With this algorithm we ensure that as we visit each loop, the entire loop is merged into a single chain. At the end, the entire function is treated as a "loop", and merged into a single chain. This chain forms the desired sequence of blocks within the function. Switching to a single algorithm removes my biggest problem with the previous approaches -- they had different behavior depending on which system triggered the layout. Now there is exactly one algorithm and one basis for the decision making. The other key difference is how the chain is formed. This is based heavily on the idea Andy mentioned of keeping a worklist of blocks that are viable layout successors based on the CFG. Having this set allows us to consistently select the best layout successor for each block. It is expensive though. The code here remains very rough. There is a lot that needs to be done to clean up the code, and to make the runtime cost of this pass much lower. Very much WIP, but this was a giant chunk of code and I'd rather folks see it sooner than later. Everything remains behind a flag of course.

I've added a couple of tests to exercise the issues that this iteration was motivated by: loop structure preservation. I've also fixed one test that was exhibiting the broken behavior of the previous version. llvm-svn: 144495

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions. Writing a backend pass is *sooo* much better now than it used to be. =D llvm-svn: 142641

Codegen: Make chains from trellis-shaped CFGs Lay out trellis-shaped CFGs optimally. A trellis of the shape below: A B |\ /| | \ / | | X | | / \ | |/ \| C D would be laid out A; B->C ; D by the current layout algorithm. Now we identify trellises and lay them out either A->C; B->D or A->D; B->C. This scales with an increasing number of predecessors. A trellis is a a group of 2 or more predecessor blocks that all have the same successors. because of this we can tail duplicate to extend existing trellises. As an example consider the following CFG: B D F H / \ / \ / \ / \ A---C---E---G---Ret Where A,C,E,G are all small (Currently 2 instructions). The CFG preserving layout is then A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,Ret.

Codegen: Make chains from trellis-shaped CFGs Lay out trellis-shaped CFGs optimally. A trellis of the shape below: A B |\ /| | \ / | | X | | / \ | |/ \| C D would be laid out A; B->C ; D by the current layout algorithm. Now we identify trellises and lay them out either A->C; B->D or A->D; B->C. This scales with an increasing number of predecessors. A trellis is a a group of 2 or more predecessor blocks that all have the same successors. because of this we can tail duplicate to extend existing trellises. As an example consider the following CFG: B D F H / \ / \ / \ / \ A---C---E---G---Ret Where A,C,E,G are all small (Currently 2 instructions). The CFG preserving layout is then A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,Ret.

// In this case, we are evaluating whether to select edge -> Succ, e.g.
// set Succ as the layout successor of BB. Picking Succ as BB's

// With this layout, Pred BB
// is forced to be outlined, so the overall cost will be cost of the
// branch taken from BB to Pred, plus the cost of back taken branch
// from Pred to Succ, as well as the additional cost associated
// with the needed unconditional jump instruction from Pred To Succ.
// The cost of the topological order layout is the taken branch cost
// from BB to Succ, so to make BB->Succ a viable candidate, the following
// must hold:
// 2 * freq(BB->Pred) * taken_branch_cost + unconditional_jump_cost
// < freq(BB->Succ) * taken_branch_cost.
// Ignoring unconditional jump cost, we get
// freq(BB->Succ) > 2 * freq(BB->Pred), i.e.,
// prob(BB->Succ) > 2 * prob(BB->Pred)
//
// When real profile data is available, we can precisely compute the
// probability threshold that is needed for edge BB->Succ to be considered.
// Without profile data, the heuristic requires the branch bias to be
// a lot larger to make sure the signal is very strong (e.g. 80% default).
// -----------------------------------------------------------------
// Case 2: diamond like CFG (if-then-else):
// S
// / \
// | \
// BB Pred
// \ /
// Succ
// ..
//
// The current block is BB and edge BB->Succ is now being evaluated.
// Note that edge S->BB was previously already selected because
// prob(S->BB) > prob(S->Pred).
// At this point, 2 blocks can be placed after BB: Pred or Succ. If we
// choose Pred, we will have a topological ordering as shown on the left
// in the picture below. If we choose Succ, we have the solution as shown
// on the right:
//
// topo-order:
//
// S----- ---S
// | | | |
// ---BB | | BB
// | | | |
// | pred-- | Succ--
// | | | |
// ---succ ---pred--
//
// cost = freq(S->Pred) + freq(BB->Succ) cost = 2 * freq (S->Pred)
// = freq(S->Pred) + freq(S->BB)
//
// If we have profile data (i.e, branch probabilities can be trusted), the
// cost (number of taken branches) with layout S->BB->Succ->Pred is 2 *
// freq(S->Pred) while the cost of topo order is freq(S->Pred) + freq(S->BB).
// We know Prob(S->BB) > Prob(S->Pred), so freq(S->BB) > freq(S->Pred), which
// means the cost of topological order is greater.
// When profile data is not available, however, we need to be more
// conservative. If the branch prediction is wrong, breaking the topo-order
// will actually yield a layout with large cost. For this reason, we need
// strong biased branch at block S with Prob(S->BB) in order to select
// BB->Succ. This is equivalent to looking the CFG backward with backward
// edge: Prob(Succ->BB) needs to >= HotProb in order to be selected (without
// profile data).
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Case 3: forked diamond

// / \
// / \
// BB Pred
// | \ / |
// | \ / |
// | X |
// | / \ |
// | / \ |
// S1 S2

// The current block is BB and edge BB->S1 is now being evaluated.

Rewrite #3 of machine block placement. This is based somewhat on the second algorithm, but only loosely. It is more heavily based on the last discussion I had with Andy. It continues to walk from the inner-most loop outward, but there is a key difference. With this algorithm we ensure that as we visit each loop, the entire loop is merged into a single chain. At the end, the entire function is treated as a "loop", and merged into a single chain. This chain forms the desired sequence of blocks within the function. Switching to a single algorithm removes my biggest problem with the previous approaches -- they had different behavior depending on which system triggered the layout. Now there is exactly one algorithm and one basis for the decision making. The other key difference is how the chain is formed. This is based heavily on the idea Andy mentioned of keeping a worklist of blocks that are viable layout successors based on the CFG. Having this set allows us to consistently select the best layout successor for each block. It is expensive though. The code here remains very rough. There is a lot that needs to be done to clean up the code, and to make the runtime cost of this pass much lower. Very much WIP, but this was a giant chunk of code and I'd rather folks see it sooner than later. Everything remains behind a flag of course.

Completely re-write the algorithm behind MachineBlockPlacement based on discussions with Andy. Fundamentally, the previous algorithm is both counter productive on several fronts and prioritizing things which aren't necessarily the most important: static branch prediction. The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks. It coalesces adjacent blocks within the loop where the CFG allows based on the most likely path taken. Finally, it topologically orders the block chains that have been formed. This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains. I'm also planning on adding statistics to model how well the algorithm does at laying out blocks based on the probabilities it receives. The old tests mostly still pass, and I have some new tests to add, but the nested loops are still behaving very strangely. This almost seems like working-as-intended as it rotated the exit branch to be fallthrough, but I'm not convinced this is actually the best layout. It is well supported by the probabilities for loops we currently get, but those are pretty broken for nested loops, so this may change later. llvm-svn: 142743

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions.

Completely re-write the algorithm behind MachineBlockPlacement based on discussions with Andy. Fundamentally, the previous algorithm is both counter productive on several fronts and prioritizing things which aren't necessarily the most important: static branch prediction. The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks. It coalesces adjacent blocks within the loop where the CFG allows based on the most likely path taken. Finally, it topologically orders the block chains that have been formed. This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains. I'm also planning on adding statistics to model how well the algorithm does at laying out blocks based on the probabilities it receives. The old tests mostly still pass, and I have some new tests to add, but the nested loops are still behaving very strangely. This almost seems like working-as-intended as it rotated the exit branch to be fallthrough, but I'm not convinced this is actually the best layout. It is well supported by the probabilities for loops we currently get, but those are pretty broken for nested loops, so this may change later. llvm-svn: 142743

Take two on rotating the block ordering of loops. My previous attempt was centered around the premise of laying out a loop in a chain, and then rotating that chain. This is good for preserving contiguous layout, but bad for actually making sane rotations. In order to keep it safe, I had to essentially make it impossible to rotate deeply nested loops. The information needed to correctly reason about a deeply nested loop is actually available -- *before* we layout the loop. We know the inner loops are already fused into chains, etc. We lose information the moment we actually lay out the loop. The solution was the other alternative for this algorithm I discussed with Benjamin and some others: rather than rotating the loop after-the-fact, try to pick a profitable starting block for the loop's layout, and then use our existing layout logic. I was worried about the complexity of this "pick" step, but it turns out such complexity is needed to handle all the important cases I keep teasing out of benchmarks. This is, I'm afraid, a bit of a work-in-progress. It is still misbehaving on some likely important cases I'm investigating in Olden. It also isn't really tested. I'm going to try to craft some interesting nested-loop test cases, but it's likely to be extremely time consuming and I don't want to go there until I'm sure I'm testing the correct behavior. Sadly I can't come up with a way of getting simple, fine grained test cases for this logic. We need complex loop structures to even trigger much of it. llvm-svn: 145183

MachineBlockPlacement::findBestLoopExit(const MachineLoop &L,
Rewrite how machine block placement handles loop rotation. This is a complex change that resulted from a great deal of experimentation with several different benchmarks. The one which proved the most useful is included as a test case, but I don't know that it captures all of the relevant changes, as I didn't have specific regression tests for each, they were more the result of reasoning about what the old algorithm would possibly do wrong. I'm also failing at the moment to craft more targeted regression tests for these changes, if anyone has ideas, it would be welcome. The first big thing broken with the old algorithm is the idea that we can take a basic block which has a loop-exiting successor and a looping successor and use the looping successor as the layout top in order to get that particular block to be the bottom of the loop after layout. This happens to work in many cases, but not in all. The second big thing broken was that we didn't try to select the exit which fell into the nearest enclosing loop (to which we exit at all). As a consequence, even if the rotation worked perfectly, it would result in one of two bad layouts. Either the bottom of the loop would get fallthrough, skipping across a nearer enclosing loop and thereby making it discontiguous, or it would be forced to take an explicit jump over the nearest enclosing loop to earch its successor. The point of the rotation is to get fallthrough, so we need it to fallthrough to the nearest loop it can. The fix to the first issue is to actually layout the loop from the loop header, and then rotate the loop such that the correct exiting edge can be a fallthrough edge. This is actually much easier than I anticipated because we can handle all the hard parts of finding a viable rotation before we do the layout. We just store that, and then rotate after layout is finished. No inner loops get split across the post-rotation backedge because we check for them when selecting the rotation. That fix exposed a latent problem with our exitting block selection -- we should allow the backedge to point into the middle of some inner-loop chain as there is no real penalty to it, the whole point is that it *won't* be a fallthrough edge. This may have blocked the rotation at all in some cases, I have no idea and no test case as I've never seen it in practice, it was just noticed by inspection. Finally, all of these fixes, and studying the loops they produce, highlighted another problem: in rotating loops like this, we sometimes fail to align the destination of these backwards jumping edges. Fix this by actually walking the backwards edges rather than relying on loopinfo. This fixes regressions on heapsort if block placement is enabled as well as lots of other cases where the previous logic would introduce an abundance of unnecessary branches into the execution. llvm-svn: 154783

// Don't split chains, either this chain or the successor's chain.
Rewrite how machine block placement handles loop rotation. This is a complex change that resulted from a great deal of experimentation with several different benchmarks. The one which proved the most useful is included as a test case, but I don't know that it captures all of the relevant changes, as I didn't have specific regression tests for each, they were more the result of reasoning about what the old algorithm would possibly do wrong. I'm also failing at the moment to craft more targeted regression tests for these changes, if anyone has ideas, it would be welcome. The first big thing broken with the old algorithm is the idea that we can take a basic block which has a loop-exiting successor and a looping successor and use the looping successor as the layout top in order to get that particular block to be the bottom of the loop after layout. This happens to work in many cases, but not in all. The second big thing broken was that we didn't try to select the exit which fell into the nearest enclosing loop (to which we exit at all). As a consequence, even if the rotation worked perfectly, it would result in one of two bad layouts. Either the bottom of the loop would get fallthrough, skipping across a nearer enclosing loop and thereby making it discontiguous, or it would be forced to take an explicit jump over the nearest enclosing loop to earch its successor. The point of the rotation is to get fallthrough, so we need it to fallthrough to the nearest loop it can. The fix to the first issue is to actually layout the loop from the loop header, and then rotate the loop such that the correct exiting edge can be a fallthrough edge. This is actually much easier than I anticipated because we can handle all the hard parts of finding a viable rotation before we do the layout. We just store that, and then rotate after layout is finished. No inner loops get split across the post-rotation backedge because we check for them when selecting the rotation. That fix exposed a latent problem with our exitting block selection -- we should allow the backedge to point into the middle of some inner-loop chain as there is no real penalty to it, the whole point is that it *won't* be a fallthrough edge. This may have blocked the rotation at all in some cases, I have no idea and no test case as I've never seen it in practice, it was just noticed by inspection. Finally, all of these fixes, and studying the loops they produce, highlighted another problem: in rotating loops like this, we sometimes fail to align the destination of these backwards jumping edges. Fix this by actually walking the backwards edges rather than relying on loopinfo. This fixes regressions on heapsort if block placement is enabled as well as lots of other cases where the previous logic would introduce an abundance of unnecessary branches into the execution. llvm-svn: 154783

The first big thing broken with the old algorithm is the idea that we can take a basic block which has a loop-exiting successor and a looping successor and use the looping successor as the layout top in order to get that particular block to be the bottom of the loop after layout. This happens to work in many cases, but not in all. The second big thing broken was that we didn't try to select the exit which fell into the nearest enclosing loop (to which we exit at all). As a consequence, even if the rotation worked perfectly, it would result in one of two bad layouts. Either the bottom of the loop would get fallthrough, skipping across a nearer enclosing loop and thereby making it discontiguous, or it would be forced to take an explicit jump over the nearest enclosing loop to earch its successor. The point of the rotation is to get fallthrough, so we need it to fallthrough to the nearest loop it can. The fix to the first issue is to actually layout the loop from the loop header, and then rotate the loop such that the correct exiting edge can be a fallthrough edge. This is actually much easier than I anticipated because we can handle all the hard parts of finding a viable rotation before we do the layout. We just store that, and then rotate after layout is finished. No inner loops get split across the post-rotation backedge because we check for them when selecting the rotation. That fix exposed a latent problem with our exitting block selection -- we should allow the backedge to point into the middle of some inner-loop chain as there is no real penalty to it, the whole point is that it *won't* be a fallthrough edge. This may have blocked the rotation at all in some cases, I have no idea and no test case as I've never seen it in practice, it was just noticed by inspection. Finally, all of these fixes, and studying the loops they produce, highlighted another problem: in rotating loops like this, we sometimes fail to align the destination of these backwards jumping edges. Fix this by actually walking the backwards edges rather than relying on loopinfo. This fixes regressions on heapsort if block placement is enabled as well as lots of other cases where the previous logic would introduce an abundance of unnecessary branches into the execution. llvm-svn: 154783

Completely re-write the algorithm behind MachineBlockPlacement based on discussions with Andy. Fundamentally, the previous algorithm is both counter productive on several fronts and prioritizing things which aren't necessarily the most important: static branch prediction. The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks. It coalesces adjacent blocks within the loop where the CFG allows based on the most likely path taken. Finally, it topologically orders the block chains that have been formed. This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains. I'm also planning on adding statistics to model how well the algorithm does at laying out blocks based on the probabilities it receives. The old tests mostly still pass, and I have some new tests to add, but the nested loops are still behaving very strangely. This almost seems like working-as-intended as it rotated the exit branch to be fallthrough, but I'm not convinced this is actually the best layout.

Rewrite #3 of machine block placement. This is based somewhat on the second algorithm, but only loosely. It is more heavily based on the last discussion I had with Andy. It continues to walk from the inner-most loop outward, but there is a key difference. With this algorithm we ensure that as we visit each loop, the entire loop is merged into a single chain. At the end, the entire function is treated as a "loop", and merged into a single chain. This chain forms the desired sequence of blocks within the function. Switching to a single algorithm removes my biggest problem with the previous approaches -- they had different behavior depending on which system triggered the layout. Now there is exactly one algorithm and one basis for the decision making. The other key difference is how the chain is formed. This is based heavily on the idea Andy mentioned of keeping a worklist of blocks that are viable layout successors based on the CFG. Having this set allows us to consistently select the best layout successor for each block. It is expensive though. The code here remains very rough. There is a lot that needs to be done to clean up the code, and to make the runtime cost of this pass much lower. Very much WIP, but this was a giant chunk of code and I'd rather folks see it sooner than later. Everything remains behind a flag of course. I've added a couple of tests to exercise the issues that this iteration was motivated by: loop structure preservation. I've also fixed one test that was exhibiting the broken behavior of the previous version. llvm-svn: 144495

Rewrite #3 of machine block placement. This is based somewhat on the second algorithm, but only loosely. It is more heavily based on the last discussion I had with Andy. It continues to walk from the inner-most loop outward, but there is a key difference. With this algorithm we ensure that as we visit each loop, the entire loop is merged into a single chain. At the end, the entire function is treated as a "loop", and merged into a single chain. This chain forms the desired sequence of blocks within the function. Switching to a single algorithm removes my biggest problem with the previous approaches -- they had different behavior depending on which system triggered the layout. Now there is exactly one algorithm and one basis for the decision making. The other key difference is how the chain is formed. This is based heavily on the idea Andy mentioned of keeping a worklist of blocks that are viable layout successors based on the CFG. Having this set allows us to consistently select the best layout successor for each block. It is expensive though. The code here remains very rough. There is a lot that needs to be done to clean up the code, and to make the runtime cost of this pass much lower.

Rewrite how machine block placement handles loop rotation. This is a complex change that resulted from a great deal of experimentation with several different benchmarks. The one which proved the most useful is included as a test case, but I don't know that it captures all of the relevant changes, as I didn't have specific regression tests for each, they were more the result of reasoning about what the old algorithm would possibly do wrong. I'm also failing at the moment to craft more targeted regression tests for these changes, if anyone has ideas, it would be welcome. The first big thing broken with the old algorithm is the idea that we can take a basic block which has a loop-exiting successor and a looping successor and use the looping successor as the layout top in order to get that particular block to be the bottom of the loop after layout. This happens to work in many cases, but not in all. The second big thing broken was that we didn't try to select the exit which fell into the nearest enclosing loop (to which we exit at all). As a consequence, even if the rotation worked perfectly, it would result in one of two bad layouts. Either the bottom of the loop would get fallthrough, skipping across a nearer enclosing loop and thereby making it discontiguous, or it would be forced to take an explicit jump over the nearest enclosing loop to earch its successor. The point of the rotation is to get fallthrough, so we need it to fallthrough to the nearest loop it can. The fix to the first issue is to actually layout the loop from the loop header, and then rotate the loop such that the correct exiting edge can be a fallthrough edge. This is actually much easier than I anticipated because we can handle all the hard parts of finding a viable rotation before we do the layout. We just store that, and then rotate after layout is finished. No inner loops get split across the post-rotation backedge because we check for them when selecting the rotation. That fix exposed a latent problem with our exitting block selection -- we should allow the backedge to point into the middle of some inner-loop chain as there is no real penalty to it, the whole point is that it *won't* be a fallthrough edge. This may have blocked the rotation at all in some cases, I have no idea and no test case as I've never seen it in practice, it was just noticed by inspection. Finally, all of these fixes, and studying the loops they produce, highlighted another problem: in rotating loops like this, we sometimes fail to align the destination of these backwards jumping edges. Fix this by actually walking the backwards edges rather than relying on loopinfo. This fixes regressions on heapsort if block placement is enabled as well as lots of other cases where the previous logic would introduce an abundance of unnecessary branches into the execution. llvm-svn: 154783

Completely re-write the algorithm behind MachineBlockPlacement based on discussions with Andy. Fundamentally, the previous algorithm is both counter productive on several fronts and prioritizing things which aren't necessarily the most important: static branch prediction. The new algorithm uses the existing loop CFG structure information to walk through the CFG itself to layout blocks. It coalesces adjacent blocks within the loop where the CFG allows based on the most likely path taken. Finally, it topologically orders the block chains that have been formed. This allows it to choose a (mostly) topologically valid ordering which still priorizes fallthrough within the structural constraints. As a final twist in the algorithm, it does violate the CFG when it discovers a "hot" edge, that is an edge that is more than 4x hotter than the competing edges in the CFG. These are forcibly merged into a fallthrough chain. Future transformations that need te be added are rotation of loop exit conditions to be fallthrough, and better isolation of cold block chains. I'm also planning on adding statistics to model how well the algorithm does at laying out blocks based on the probabilities it receives. The old tests mostly still pass, and I have some new tests to add, but the nested loops are still behaving very strangely. This almost seems like working-as-intended as it rotated the exit branch to be fallthrough, but I'm not convinced this is actually the best layout. It is well supported by the probabilities for loops we currently get, but those are pretty broken for nested loops, so this may change later. llvm-svn: 142743

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions.

#ifndef NDEBUG
[MachineBlockPlacement] Don't make blocks "uneditable" Summary: This fixes an issue with MachineBlockPlacement due to a badly timed call to `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true. The timeline is as follows: 1. `MachineBlockPlacement::maybeTailDuplicateBlock` calls `TailDup.shouldTailDuplicate` on its argument, which in turn calls `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true. 2. This `analyzeBranch` call edits the terminator sequence of the block based on the physical layout of the machine function, turning an unanalyzable non-fallthrough block to a unanalyzable fallthrough block. Normally MBP bails out of rearranging such blocks, but this block was unanalyzable non-fallthrough (and thus rearrangeable) the first time MBP looked at it, and so it goes ahead and decides where it should be placed in the function. 3. When placing this block MBP fails to analyze and thus update the block in keeping with the new physical layout. Concretely, before (1) we have something like: ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL1 > jmp LBL1 LBL1: ... A LBL2: ... B ``` In (2), analyze branch simplifies this to ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 > ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump removed LBL1: ... A LBL2: ... B ``` In (3), MachineBlockPlacement goes ahead with its plan of putting LBL2 after the first block since that is profitable. ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 > ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump LBL2: ... B LBL1: ... A ``` and the program now has incorrect behavior (we no longer fall-through from `LBL0` to `LBL1`) because MBP can no longer edit LBL0. There are several possible solutions, but I went with removing the teeth off of the `analyzeBranch` calls in TailDuplicator. That makes thinking about the result of these calls easier, and breaks nothing in the lit test suite. I've also added some bookkeeping to the MachineBlockPlacement pass and used that to write an assert that would have caught this.

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions.

[MachineBlockPlacement] Don't make blocks "uneditable" Summary: This fixes an issue with MachineBlockPlacement due to a badly timed call to `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true. The timeline is as follows: 1. `MachineBlockPlacement::maybeTailDuplicateBlock` calls `TailDup.shouldTailDuplicate` on its argument, which in turn calls `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true. 2. This `analyzeBranch` call edits the terminator sequence of the block based on the physical layout of the machine function, turning an unanalyzable non-fallthrough block to a unanalyzable fallthrough block. Normally MBP bails out of rearranging such blocks, but this block was unanalyzable non-fallthrough (and thus rearrangeable) the first time MBP looked at it, and so it goes ahead and decides where it should be placed in the function. 3. When placing this block MBP fails to analyze and thus update the block in keeping with the new physical layout. Concretely, before (1) we have something like: ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL1 > jmp LBL1 LBL1: ... A LBL2: ... B ``` In (2), analyze branch simplifies this to ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 > ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump removed LBL1: ... A LBL2: ... B ``` In (3), MachineBlockPlacement goes ahead with its plan of putting LBL2 after the first block since that is profitable. ``` LBL0: < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 > ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump LBL2: ... B LBL1: ... A ``` and the program now has incorrect behavior (we no longer fall-through from `LBL0` to `LBL1`) because MBP can no longer edit LBL0. There are several possible solutions, but I went with removing the teeth off of the `analyzeBranch` calls in TailDuplicator. That makes thinking about the result of these calls easier, and breaks nothing in the lit test suite. I've also added some bookkeeping to the MachineBlockPlacement pass and used that to write an assert that would have caught this.

Rewrite how machine block placement handles loop rotation. This is a complex change that resulted from a great deal of experimentation with several different benchmarks. The one which proved the most useful is included as a test case, but I don't know that it captures all of the relevant changes, as I didn't have specific regression tests for each, they were more the result of reasoning about what the old algorithm would possibly do wrong. I'm also failing at the moment to craft more targeted regression tests for these changes, if anyone has ideas, it would be welcome. The first big thing broken with the old algorithm is the idea that we can take a basic block which has a loop-exiting successor and a looping successor and use the looping successor as the layout top in order to get that particular block to be the bottom of the loop after layout. This happens to work in many cases, but not in all. The second big thing broken was that we didn't try to select the exit which fell into the nearest enclosing loop (to which we exit at all). As a consequence, even if the rotation worked perfectly, it would result in one of two bad layouts. Either the bottom of the loop would get fallthrough, skipping across a nearer enclosing loop and thereby making it discontiguous, or it would be forced to take an explicit jump over the nearest enclosing loop to earch its successor. The point of the rotation is to get fallthrough, so we need it to fallthrough to the nearest loop it can. The fix to the first issue is to actually layout the loop from the loop header, and then rotate the loop such that the correct exiting edge can be a fallthrough edge. This is actually much easier than I anticipated because we can handle all the hard parts of finding a viable rotation before we do the layout. We just store that, and then rotate after layout is finished. No inner loops get split across the post-rotation backedge because we check for them when selecting the rotation. That fix exposed a latent problem with our exitting block selection -- we should allow the backedge to point into the middle of some inner-loop chain as there is no real penalty to it, the whole point is that it *won't* be a fallthrough edge. This may have blocked the rotation at all in some cases, I have no idea and no test case as I've never seen it in practice, it was just noticed by inspection. Finally, all of these fixes, and studying the loops they produce, highlighted another problem: in rotating loops like this, we sometimes fail to align the destination of these backwards jumping edges. Fix this by actually walking the backwards edges rather than relying on loopinfo. This fixes regressions on heapsort if block placement is enabled as well as lots of other cases where the previous logic would introduce an abundance of unnecessary branches into the execution. llvm-svn: 154783

Rewrite how machine block placement handles loop rotation. This is a complex change that resulted from a great deal of experimentation with several different benchmarks. The one which proved the most useful is included as a test case, but I don't know that it captures all of the relevant changes, as I didn't have specific regression tests for each, they were more the result of reasoning about what the old algorithm would possibly do wrong. I'm also failing at the moment to craft more targeted regression tests for these changes, if anyone has ideas, it would be welcome. The first big thing broken with the old algorithm is the idea that we can take a basic block which has a loop-exiting successor and a looping successor and use the looping successor as the layout top in order to get that particular block to be the bottom of the loop after layout. This happens to work in many cases, but not in all. The second big thing broken was that we didn't try to select the exit which fell into the nearest enclosing loop (to which we exit at all). As a consequence, even if the rotation worked perfectly, it would result in one of two bad layouts. Either the bottom of the loop would get fallthrough, skipping across a nearer enclosing loop and thereby making it discontiguous, or it would be forced to take an explicit jump over the nearest enclosing loop to earch its successor. The point of the rotation is to get fallthrough, so we need it to fallthrough to the nearest loop it can. The fix to the first issue is to actually layout the loop from the loop header, and then rotate the loop such that the correct exiting edge can be a fallthrough edge. This is actually much easier than I anticipated because we can handle all the hard parts of finding a viable rotation before we do the layout. We just store that, and then rotate after layout is finished. No inner loops get split across the post-rotation backedge because we check for them when selecting the rotation. That fix exposed a latent problem with our exitting block selection -- we should allow the backedge to point into the middle of some inner-loop chain as there is no real penalty to it, the whole point is that it *won't* be a fallthrough edge. This may have blocked the rotation at all in some cases, I have no idea and no test case as I've never seen it in practice, it was just noticed by inspection. Finally, all of these fixes, and studying the loops they produce, highlighted another problem: in rotating loops like this, we sometimes fail to align the destination of these backwards jumping edges. Fix this by actually walking the backwards edges rather than relying on loopinfo. This fixes regressions on heapsort if block placement is enabled as well as lots of other cases where the previous logic would introduce an abundance of unnecessary branches into the execution. llvm-svn: 154783

Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing block-placement pass in LLVM: 1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the pass runs. 2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these inputs. 3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations which the old pass involves. The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace both of these passes. Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions.
