This option runs LiveIntervals before TwoAddressInstructionPass which
will eventually learn to exploit and update the analysis.
Eventually, LiveIntervals will run before PHIElimination, and we can get
rid of LiveVariables.

This pass performs if-conversion on SSA form machine code by
speculatively executing both sides of the branch and using a cmov
instruction to select the result. This can help lower the number of
branch mispredictions on architectures like x86 that don't have
predicable instructions.
The current implementation is very aggressive, and causes regressions on
mosts tests. It needs good heuristics that have yet to be implemented.

It appears to have caught a use-after-free introduced as by r159567
and/or friends which call 'addPass' from many more places. The bug in
'addPass' doesn't appear to be new, and was spotted by inspection when
ASan shown a bright light of a stacktrace at these functions.
Hopefully this will fix the ASan failure -- I have no test case other
than running an ASan-built clang over the test suite.

This is still a work in progress but I believe it is currently good enough
to fix PR13122 "Need unit test driver for codegen IR passes". For example,
you can run llc with -stop-after=loop-reduce to have it dump out the IR after
running LSR. Serializing machine-level IR is not yet supported but we have
some patches in progress for that.
The plan is to serialize the IR to a YAML file, containing separate sections
for the LLVM IR, machine-level IR, and whatever other info is needed. Chad
suggested that we stash the stop-after pass in the YAML file and use that
instead of the start-after option to figure out where to restart the
compilation. I think that's a great idea, but since it's not implemented yet
I put the -start-after option into this patch for testing purposes.
llvm-svn: 159570
This is a preliminary step toward having TargetPassConfig be able to
start and stop the compilation at specified passes for unit testing
and debugging. No functionality change.
llvm-svn: 159567
Such passes can be used to tweak the register assignments in a
target-dependent way, for example to avoid write-after-write
dependencies.
llvm-svn: 159209
Implicitly defined virtual registers can simply have the <undef> bit set
on all uses, and copies can be turned into implicit defs recursively.
Physical registers are a bit trickier. We handle the common case where a
physreg def is used by a nearby instruction in the same basic block. For
more complicated cases, just leave the IMPLICIT_DEF instruction in.
llvm-svn: 159149
OK, not really. We don't want to reintroduce the old rewriter hacks.
This patch extracts virtual register rewriting as a separate pass that
runs after the register allocator. This is possible now that
CodeGen/Passes.cpp can configure the full optimizing register allocator
pipeline.
The rewriter pass uses register assignments in VirtRegMap to rewrite
virtual registers to physical registers, and it inserts kill flags based
on live intervals.
These finalization steps are the same for the optimizing register
allocators: RABasic, RAGreedy, and PBQP.
llvm-svn: 158244
Besides adding the new insertPass function, this patch uses it to
enhance the existing -print-machineinstrs so that the MachineInstrs
after a specific pass can be printed.

The TargetPassManager's default constructor wants to initialize the PassManager
to 'null'. But it's illegal to bind a null reference to a null l-value. Make the
ivar a pointer instead.

This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.

Some targets still mess up the liveness information, but that isn't
verified after MRI->invalidateLiveness().
The verifier can still check other useful things like register classes
and CFG, so it should be enabled after all passes.
llvm-svn: 153615
The late scheduler depends on accurate liveness information if it is
breaking anti-dependencies, so we should be able to verify it.
Relax the terminator checking in the machine code verifier so it can
handle the basic blocks created by if conversion.
llvm-svn: 153614
New flags: -misched-topdown, -misched-bottomup. They can be used with
the default scheduler or with -misched=shuffle. Without either
topdown/bottomup flag -misched=shuffle now alternates scheduling
direction.
LiveIntervals update is unimplemented with bottom-up scheduling, so
only -misched-topdown currently works.
Capped the ScheduleDAG hierarchy with a concrete ScheduleDAGMI class.
ScheduleDAGMI is aware of the top and bottom of the unscheduled zone
within the current region. Scheduling policy can be plugged into
the ScheduleDAGMI driver by implementing MachineSchedStrategy.
ConvergingScheduler is now the default scheduling algorithm.
It exercises the new driver but still does no reordering.

ecx = mov eax
al = mov ch
The second copy is not a nop because the sub-indices of ecx,ch is not the
same of that of eax/al.
Re-enabled machine-cp.

llvm-svn: 151002
The llc command line options for enabling/disabling passes are local to CodeGen/Passes.cpp. This patch associates those options with standard pass IDs so they work regardless of how the target configures the passes.
A target has two ways of overriding standard passes:
1) Redefine the pass pipeline (override TargetPassConfig::add%Stage)
2) Replace or suppress individiual passes with TargetPassConfig::substitutePass.
In both cases, the command line options associated with the pass override the target default.
For example, say a target wants to disable machine instruction scheduling by default:
- The target calls disablePass(MachineSchedulerID) but otherwise does not override any TargetPassConfig methods.
- Without any llc options, no scheduler is run.
- With -enable-misched, the standard machine scheduler is run and honors the -misched=... flag to select the scheduler variant, which may be used for performance evaluation or testing.
Sorry overridePass is ugly. I haven't thought of a better way without replacing the cl::opt framework. I hope to do that one day...
I haven't figured out why CodeGen uses char& for pass IDs. AnalysisID is much easier to use and less bug prone. I'm using it wherever I can for internal implementation. Maybe later we can change the global pass ID definitions as well.
llvm-svn: 150563
In case the MachineScheduling pass I'm working on doesn't work well
for another target, they can completely override it. This also adds a
hook immediately after the RegAlloc pass to cleanup immediately after
vregs go away. We may want to fold it into the postRA hook later.
llvm-svn: 150298
Creates a configurable regalloc pipeline.
Ensure specific llc options do what they say and nothing more: -reglloc=... has no effect other than selecting the allocator pass itself. This patch introduces a new umbrella flag, "-optimize-regalloc", to enable/disable the optimizing regalloc "superpass". This allows for example testing coalscing and scheduling under -O0 or vice-versa.
When a CodeGen pass requires the MachineFunction to have a particular property, we need to explicitly define that property so it can be directly queried rather than naming a specific Pass. For example, to check for SSA, use MRI->isSSA, not addRequired<PHIElimination>.
CodeGen transformation passes are never "required" as an analysis
ProcessImplicitDefs does not require LiveVariables.
We have a plan to massively simplify some of the early passes within the regalloc superpass.
llvm-svn: 150226
Moving toward a uniform style of pass definition to allow easier target configuration.
Globally declare Pass ID.
Globally declare pass initializer.
Use INITIALIZE_PASS consistently.
Add a call to the initializer from CodeGen.cpp.
Remove redundant "createPass" functions and "getPassName" methods.
While cleaning up declarations, cleaned up comments (sorry for large diff).
llvm-svn: 150100
Passes prior to instructon selection are now split into separate configurable stages.
Header dependencies are simplified.
The bulk of this diff is simply removal of the silly DisableVerify flags.
Sorry for the target header churn. Attempting to stabilize them.

RegAllocGreedy has been the default for six months now.
Deleting RegAllocLinearScan makes it possible to also delete
VirtRegRewriter and clean up the spiller code.
