As defined in LangRef, aliases do not have sections. However, LLVM's
GlobalAlias class inherits from GlobalValue, which means we can read and
set its section. We should probably ban that as a separate change,
since it doesn't make much sense for an alias to have a section that
differs from its aliasee.
Fixes PR18757, where the section was being lost on the global in code
from Clang like:
extern "C" {
__attribute__((used, section("CUSTOM"))) static int in_custom_section;
}

logical operations on the i1's driving them. This is a bad idea for every
target I can think of (confirmed with micro tests on all of: x86-64, ARM,
AArch64, Mips, and PowerPC) because it forces the i1 to be materialized into
a general purpose register, whereas consuming it directly into a select generally
allows it to exist only transiently in a predicate or flags register.
Chandler ran a set of performance tests with this change, and reported no
measurable change on x86-64.

'OK_NonUniformConstValue' to identify operands which are constants but
not constant splats.
The cost model now allows returning 'OK_NonUniformConstValue'
for non splat operands that are instances of ConstantVector or
ConstantDataVector.
With this change, targets are now able to compute different costs
for instructions with non-uniform constant operands.
For example, On X86 the cost of a vector shift may vary depending on whether
the second operand is a uniform or non-uniform constant.
This patch applies the following changes:
- The cost model computation now takes into account non-uniform constants;
- The cost of vector shift instructions has been improved in
X86TargetTransformInfo analysis pass;
- BBVectorize, SLPVectorizer and LoopVectorize now know how to distinguish
between non-uniform and uniform constant operands.
Added a new test to verify that the output of opt
'-cost-model -analyze' is valid in the following configurations: SSE2,
SSE4.1, AVX, AVX2.

This is necessary for LICM to preserve LCSSA correctly and efficiently.
There is still some active discussion about whether we should be using
LCSSA, but we can't just immediately stop using it and we *need* LICM to
preserve it while we are using it. We can restore the old SSAUpdater
driven code if and when there is a serious effort to remove the reliance
on LCSSA from all of the loop passes.
However, this also serves as a great example of why LCSSA is very nice
to have. This change significantly simplifies the process of sinking
instructions for LICM, and makes it quite a bit less expensive.
It wouldn't even be as complex as it is except that I had to start the
process of removing the big recursive LCSSA formation hammer in order to
switch even this much of the re-forming code to asserting that LCSSA was
preserved. I'll fully remove that next just to tidy things up until the
LCSSA debate settles one way or the other.

The addressing mode matcher checks at some point the profitability of folding an
instruction into the addressing mode. When the instruction to be folded has
several uses, it checks that the instruction can be folded in each use.
To do so, it creates a new matcher for each use and check if the instruction is
in the list of the matched instructions of this new matcher.
The new matchers may promote some instructions and this has to be undone to keep
the state of the original matcher consistent.
A test case will follow.

llvm-svn: 201121
The crux of the issue is that LCSSA doesn't preserve stateful alias
analyses. Before r200067, LICM didn't cause LCSSA to run in the LTO pass
manager, where LICM runs essentially without any of the other loop
passes. As a consequence the globalmodref-aa pass run before that loop
pass manager was able to survive the loop pass manager and be used by
DSE to eliminate stores in the function called from the loop body in
Adobe-C++/loop_unroll (and similar patterns in other benchmarks).
When LICM was taught to preserve LCSSA it had to require it as well.
This caused it to be run in the loop pass manager and because it did not
preserve AA, the stateful AA was lost. Most of LLVM's AA isn't stateful
and so this didn't manifest in most cases. Also, in most cases LCSSA was
already running, and so there was no interesting change.
The real kicker is that LCSSA by its definition (injecting PHI nodes
only) trivially preserves AA! All we need to do is mark it, and then
everything goes back to working as intended. It probably was blocking
some other weird cases of stateful AA but the only one I have is
a 1000-line IR test case from loop_unroll, so I don't really have a good
test case here.
Hopefully this fixes the regressions on performance that have been seen
since that revision.

Before conditional store vectorization/unrolling we had only one
vectorized/unrolled basic block. After adding support for conditional store
vectorization this will not only be one block but multiple basic blocks. The
last block would have the back-edge. I updated the code to use a vector of basic
blocks instead of a single basic block and fixed the users to use the last entry
in this vector. But, I forgot to add the basic blocks to this vector!

mode.
Basically the idea is to transform code like this:
%idx = add nsw i32 %a, 1
%sextidx = sext i32 %idx to i64
%gep = gep i8* %myArray, i64 %sextidx
load i8* %gep
Into:
%sexta = sext i32 %a to i64
%idx = add nsw i64 %sexta, 1
%gep = gep i8* %myArray, i64 %idx
load i8* %gep
That way the computation can be folded into the addressing mode.
This transformation is done as part of the addressing mode matcher.
If the matching fails (not profitable, addressing mode not legal, etc.), the
matcher will revert the related promotions.

225 is the default value of inline-threshold. This change will make sure
we have the same inlining behavior as prior to r200886.
As Chandler points out, even though we don't have code in our testing
suite that uses cold attribute, there are larger applications that do
use cold attribute.
r200886 + this commit intend to keep the same behavior as prior to r200886.
We can later on tune the inlinecold-threshold.
The main purpose of r200886 is to help performance of instrumentation based
PGO before we actually hook up inliner with analysis passes such as BPI and BFI.
For instrumentation based PGO, we try to increase inlining of hot functions and
reduce inlining of cold functions by setting inlinecold-threshold.
Another option suggested by Chandler is to use a boolean flag that controls
if we should use OptSizeThreshold for cold functions. The default value
of the boolean flag should not change the current behavior. But it gives us
less freedom in controlling inlining of cold functions.

It disturbs the layout of the parameters in memory and registers,
leading to problems in the backend.
The plan for optimizing internal inalloca functions going forward is to
essentially SROA the argument memory and demote any captured arguments
(things that aren't trivially written by a load or store) to an indirect
pointer to a static alloca.

LCSSA when we promote to SSA registers inside of LICM.
Currently, this is actually necessary. The promotion logic in LICM uses
SSAUpdater which doesn't understand how to place LCSSA PHI nodes.
Teaching it to do so would be a very significant undertaking. It may be
worthwhile and I've left a FIXME about this in the code as well as
starting a thread on llvmdev to try to figure out the right long-term
solution.
For now, the PR needs to be fixed. Short of using the promition
SSAUpdater to place both the LCSSA PHI nodes and the promoted PHI nodes,
I don't see a cleaner or cheaper way of achieving this. Fortunately,
LCSSA is relatively lazy and sparse -- it should only update
instructions which need it. We can also skip the recursive variant when
we don't promote to SSA values.

loop vectorizer to not do so when runtime pointer checks are needed and
share code with the new (not yet enabled) load/store saturation runtime
unrolling. Also ensure that we only consider the runtime checks when the
loop hasn't already been vectorized. If it has, the runtime check cost
has already been paid.
I've fleshed out a test case to cover the scalar unrolling as well as
the vector unrolling and comment clearly why we are or aren't following
the pattern.

The entry block of a function starts with all the static allocas. The change
in r195513 splits the block before those allocas, which has the effect of
turning them into dynamic allocas. That breaks all sorts of things. Change to
split after the initial allocas, and also add a comment explaining why the
block is split.

preserve loop simplify of enclosing loops.
The problem here starts with LoopRotation which ends up cloning code out
of the latch into the new preheader it is buidling. This can create
a new edge from the preheader into the exit block of the loop which
breaks LoopSimplify form. The code tries to fix this by splitting the
critical edge between the latch and the exit block to get a new exit
block that only the latch dominates. This sadly isn't sufficient.
The exit block may be an exit block for multiple nested loops. When we
clone an edge from the latch of the inner loop to the new preheader
being built in the outer loop, we create an exiting edge from the outer
loop to this exit block. Despite breaking the LoopSimplify form for the
inner loop, this is fine for the outer loop. However, when we split the
edge from the inner loop to the exit block, we create a new block which
is in neither the inner nor outer loop as the new exit block. This is
a predecessor to the old exit block, and so the split itself takes the
outer loop out of LoopSimplify form. We need to split every edge
entering the exit block from inside a loop nested more deeply than the
exit block in order to preserve all of the loop simplify constraints.
Once we try to do that, a problem with splitting critical edges
surfaces. Previously, we tried a very brute force to update LoopSimplify
form by re-computing it for all exit blocks. We don't need to do this,
and doing this much will sometimes but not always overlap with the
LoopRotate bug fix. Instead, the code needs to specifically handle the
cases which can start to violate LoopSimplify -- they aren't that
common. We need to see if the destination of the split edge was a loop
exit block in simplified form for the loop of the source of the edge.
For this to be true, all the predecessors need to be in the exact same
loop as the source of the edge being split. If the dest block was
originally in this form, we have to split all of the deges back into
this loop to recover it. The old mechanism of doing this was
conservatively correct because at least *one* of the exiting blocks it
rewrote was the DestBB and so the DestBB's predecessors were fixed. But
this is a much more targeted way of doing it. Making it targeted is
important, because ballooning the set of edges touched prevents
LoopRotate from being able to split edges *it* needs to split to
preserve loop simplify in a coherent way -- the critical edge splitting
would sometimes find the other edges in need of splitting but not
others.
Many, *many* thanks for help from Nick reducing these test cases
mightily. And helping lots with the analysis here as this one was quite
tricky to track down.

because of the inside-out run of LoopSimplify in the LoopPassManager and
the fact that LoopSimplify couldn't be "preserved" across two
independent LoopPassManagers.
Anyways, in that case, IndVars wasn't correctly preserving an LCSSA PHI
node because it thought it was rewriting (via SCEV) the incoming value
to a loop invariant value. While it may well be invariant for the
current loop, it may be rewritten in terms of an enclosing loop's
values. This in and of itself is fine, as the LCSSA PHI node in the
enclosing loop for the inner loop value we're rewriting will have its
own LCSSA PHI node if used outside of the enclosing loop. With me so
far?
Well, the current loop and the enclosing loop may share an exiting
block and exit block, and when they do they also share LCSSA PHI nodes.
In this case, its not valid to RAUW through the LCSSA PHI node.
Expected crazy test included.

It turns out that block frequency isn't what we want at all, here or

LCSSA from it caused a crasher with the LoopUnroll pass.
This crasher is really nasty. We destroy LCSSA form in a suprising way.
When unrolling a loop into an outer loop, we not only need to restore
LCSSA form for the outer loop, but for all children of the outer loop.
This is somewhat obvious in retrospect, but hey!
While this seems pretty heavy-handed, it's not that bad. Fundamentally,
we only do this when we unroll a loop, which is already a heavyweight
operation. We're unrolling all of these hypothetical inner loops as
well, so their size and complexity is already on the critical path. This
is just adding another pass over them to re-canonicalize.
I have a test case from PR18616 that is great for reproducing this, but
pretty useless to check in as it relies on many 10s of nested empty
loops that get unrolled and deleted in just the right order. =/ What's
worse is that investigating this has exposed another source of failure
that is likely to be even harder to test. I'll try to come up with test
cases for these fixes, but I want to get the fixes into the tree first
as they're causing crashes in the wild.
llvm-svn: 200273
The vectorizer takes a loop like this and widens all instructions except for the
store. The stores are scalarized/unrolled and hidden behind an "if" block.
for (i = 0; i < 128; ++i) {
if (a[i] < 10)
a[i] += val;
}
for (i = 0; i < 128; i+=2) {
v = a[i:i+1];
v0 = (extract v, 0) + 10;
v1 = (extract v, 1) + 10;
if (v0 < 10)
a[i] = v0;
if (v1 < 10)
a[i] = v1;
}
The vectorizer relies on subsequent optimizations to sink instructions into the
conditional block where they are anticipated.
The flag "vectorize-num-stores-pred" controls whether and how many stores to
handle this way. Vectorization of conditional stores is disabled per default for
now.
This patch also adds a change to the heuristic when the flag
"enable-loadstore-runtime-unroll" is enabled (off by default). It unrolls small
loops until load/store ports are saturated. This heuristic uses TTI's
getMaxUnrollFactor as a measure for load/store ports.
I also added a second flag -enable-cond-stores-vec. It will enable vectorization
of conditional stores. But there is no cost model for vectorization of
conditional stores in place yet so this will not do good at the moment.

cold loops as-if they were being optimized for size.
Nothing fancy here. Simply test case included. The nice thing is that we
can now incrementally build on top of this to drive other heuristics.
All of the infrastructure work is done to get the profile information
into this layer.
The remaining work necessary to make this a fully general purpose loop
unroller for very hot loops is to make it a fully general purpose loop
unroller. Things I know of but am not going to have time to benchmark
and fix in the immediate future:
1) Don't disable the entire pass when the target is lacking vector
registers. This really doesn't make any sense any more.
2) Teach the unroller at least and the vectorizer potentially to handle
non-if-converted loops. This is trivial for the unroller but hard for
the vectorizer.
3) Compute the relative hotness of the loop and thread that down to the
various places that make cost tradeoffs (very likely only the
unroller makes sense here, and then only when dealing with loops that
are small enough for unrolling to not completely blow out the LSD).
I'm still dubious how useful hotness information will be. So far, my
experiments show that if we can get the correct logic for determining
when unrolling actually helps performance, the code size impact is
completely unimportant and we can unroll in all cases. But at least
we'll no longer burn code size on cold code.
One somewhat unrelated idea that I've had forever but not had time to
implement: mark all functions which are only reachable via the global
constructors rigging in the module as optsize. This would also decrease
the impact of any more aggressive heuristics here on code size.
