This is unused after filtering checks was moved to the clients.
As a result, we can just return the number of the checks in the
precomputed set.
llvm-svn: 244369
This is the full set of checks that clients can further filter. IOW,
it's client-agnostic. This makes LAA complete in the sense that it now
provides the two main results of its analysis precomputed:
1. memory dependences via getDepChecker().getInsterestingDependences()
2. run-time checks via getRuntimePointerCheck().getChecks()
However, as a consequence we now compute this information pro-actively.
Thus if the client decides to skip the loop based on the dependences
we've computed the checks unnecessarily. In order to see whether this
was a significant overhead I checked compile time on SPEC2k6 LTO bitcode
files. The change was in the noise.
The checks are generated in canCheckPtrAtRT, at the same place where we
used to call groupChecks to merge checks.
llvm-svn: 244368
This is effectively an NFC but we can no longer print the index of the
pointer group so instead I print its address. This still lets us
cross-check the section that list the checks against the section that
list the groups (see how I modified the test).
E.g. before we printed this:
Run-time memory checks:
Check 0:
Comparing group 0:
%arrayidxC = getelementptr inbounds i16, i16* %c, i64 %store_ind
%arrayidxC1 = getelementptr inbounds i16, i16* %c, i64 %store_ind_inc
Against group 1:
%arrayidxA = getelementptr i16, i16* %a, i64 %ind
%arrayidxA1 = getelementptr i16, i16* %a, i64 %add
...
Grouped accesses:
Group 0:
(Low: %c High: (78 + %c))
Member: {%c,+,4}<%for.body>
Member: {(2 + %c),+,4}<%for.body>
Now we print this (changes are underlined):
Run-time memory checks:
Check 0:
Comparing group (0x7f9c6040c320):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
%arrayidxC1 = getelementptr inbounds i16, i16* %c, i64 %store_ind_inc

llvm-svn: 243354
Summary:
The goal is to start moving us closer to the model where
RuntimePointerChecking will compute and store the checks. Then a client
can filter the check according to its requirements and then use the
filtered list of checks with addRuntimeCheck.
Before the patch, this is all done in addRuntimeCheck. So the patch
starts to split up addRuntimeCheck while providing the old API under
what's more or less a wrapper now.
The new underlying addRuntimeCheck takes a collection of checks now,
expands the code for the bounds then generates the code for the checks.
I am not completely happy with making expandBounds static because now it
needs so many explicit arguments but I don't want to make the type
PointerBounds part of LAI. This should get fixed when addRuntimeCheck
is moved to LoopVersioning where it really belongs, IMO.
Audited the assembly diff of the testsuite (including externals). There
is a tiny bit of assembly churn that is due to the different order the
code for the bounds is expanded now
(MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/bison/conflicts.s and with LoopDist
on 456.hmmer/fast_algorithms.s).

Summary:
The checking pointer grouping algorithm assumes that the
starts/ends of the pointers are well formed (start <= end).
The runtime memory checking algorithm also assumes this by doing:
start0 < end1 && start1 < end0
to detect conflicts. This check only works if start0 <= end0 and
start1 <= end1.
This change correctly orders the interval ends by either checking
the stride (if it is constant) or by using min/max SCEV expressions.

This is made a static public member function to allow the transition of

I am planning to add more nested classes inside RuntimePointerCheck so
all these triple-nesting would be hard to follow.
Also rename it to RuntimePointerChecking (i.e. append 'ing').
llvm-svn: 242218
Summary:
The iteration order within a member of DepCands is deterministic
and therefore we don't have to sort the accesses within a member.
We also don't have to copy the indices of the pointers into a
vector, since we can iterate over the members of the class.

Currently canCheckPtrAtRT returns two flags NeedRTCheck and CanDoRT.
NeedRTCheck says whether we need checks and CanDoRT whether we can
generate the checks. The idea is to encode three states with these:
Need/Can:
(1) false/dont-care: no checks are needed
(2) true/false: we need checks but can't generate them
(3) true/true: we need checks and we can generate them
This is pretty unnecessary since the caller (analyzeLoop) is only
interested in whether we can generate the checks if we actually need
them (i.e. 1 or 3).
So this change cleans up to return just that (CanDoRTIfNeeded) and pulls
all the underlying logic into canCheckPtrAtRT.
By doing all this, we simplify analyzeLoop which is the complex function
in LAA.
There is further room for improvement here by using RtCheck.Need
directly rather than a new local variable NeedRTCheck but that's for a
later patch.
llvm-svn: 241866
Summary:
The checking pointer group construction algorithm relied on the iteration on DepCands.
We would need the same leaders across runs and the same iteration order over the underlying std::set for determinism.
This changes the algorithm to process the pointers in the order in which they were added to the runtime check, which is deterministic.
We need to update the tests, since the order in which pointers appear has changed.
No new tests were added, since it is impossible to test for non-determinism.

The original name was too close to NeedRTCheck which is what the actual
memcheck analysis returns. This flag, as the new name suggests, is only
used to whether to initiate that analysis.
Also a comment is added to answer one question I had about this code for
a long time. Namely, how does this flag differ from
isDependencyCheckNeeded since they are seemingly set at the same time.
llvm-svn: 241784
This commit ([LAA] Fix estimation of number of memchecks) regressed the
logic a bit. We shouldn't quit the analysis if we encounter a pointer
without known bounds *unless* we actually need to emit a memcheck for
it.
The original code was using NumComparisons which is now computed
differently. Instead I compute NeedRTCheck from NumReadPtrChecks and
NumWritePtrChecks.
As side note, I find the separation of NeedRTCheck and CanDoRT
confusing, so I will try to merge them in a follow-up patch.

r239285 ([LoopAccessAnalysis] Teach LAA to check the memory dependence
between strided accesses.) introduced a new case under
MemoryDepChecker::isDependent. We normally have debug output for each
case.
llvm-svn: 241707
Summary:
Often filter-like loops will do memory accesses that are
separated by constant offsets. In these cases it is
common that we will exceed the threshold for the
allowable number of checks.
However, it should be possible to merge such checks,
sice a check of any interval againt two other intervals separated
by a constant offset (a,b), (a+c, b+c) will be equivalent with
a check againt (a, b+c), as long as (a,b) and (a+c, b+c) overlap.
Assuming the loop will be executed for a sufficient number of
iterations, this will be true. If not true, checking against
(a, b+c) is still safe (although not equivalent).
As long as there are no dependencies between two accesses,
we can merge their checks into a single one. We use this
technique to construct groups of accesses, and then check
the intervals associated with the groups instead of
checking the accesses directly.

Summary:
Scalar evolution does not propagate the non-wrapping flags to values
that are derived from a non-wrapping induction variable because
the non-wrapping property could be flow-sensitive.
This change is a first attempt to establish the non-wrapping property in
some simple cases. The main idea is to look through the operations
defining the pointer. As long as we arrive to a non-wrapping AddRec via
a small chain of non-wrapping instruction, the pointer should not wrap
either.
I believe that this essentially is what Andy described in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.cvs/220731 as the way
forward.

Summary:
We need to add a runtime memcheck for pair of accesses (x,y) where at least one of x and y
are writes.
Assuming we have w writes and r reads, currently this number is estimated as being
w* (w+r-1). This estimation will count (write,write) pairs twice and will overestimate
the number of checks required.
This change adds a getNumberOfChecks method to RuntimePointerCheck, which
will count the number of runtime checks needed (similar in implementation to
needsAnyChecking) and uses it to produce the correct number of runtime checks.
Test Plan:
llvm test suite
spec2k
spec2k6
Performance results: no changes observed (not surprising since the formula for 1 writer is basically the same, which would covers most cases - at least with the current check limit).

Interleaved memory accesses are grouped and vectorized into vector load/store and shufflevector.
E.g. for (i = 0; i < N; i+=2) {
a = A[i]; // load of even element
b = A[i+1]; // load of odd element
... // operations on a, b, c, d
A[i] = c; // store of even element
A[i+1] = d; // store of odd element
}
The loads of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave load group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%wide.vec = load <8 x i32>, <8 x i32>* %ptr
%vec.even = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 2, i32 4, i32 6>
%vec.odd = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 3, i32 5, i32 7>
The stores of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave store group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%interleaved.vec = shufflevector <4 x i32> %vec.even, %vec.odd, <8 x i32> <i32 0, i32 4, i32 1, i32 5, i32 2, i32 6, i32 3, i32 7>
store <8 x i32> %interleaved.vec, <8 x i32>* %ptr

port it to the new pass manager.
All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.

Specifically, if a pointer accesses different underlying objects in each
iteration, don't look through the phi node defining the pointer.
The motivating case is the underlyling-objects-2.ll testcase. Consider
the loop nest:
int **A;
for (i)
for (j)
A[i][j] = A[i-1][j] * B[j]
This loop is transformed by Load-PRE to stash away A[i] for the next
iteration of the outer loop:
Curr = A[0]; // Prev_0
for (i: 1..N) {
Prev = Curr; // Prev = PHI (Prev_0, Curr)
Curr = A[i];
for (j: 0..N)
Curr[j] = Prev[j] * B[j]
}
Since A[i] and A[i-1] are likely to be independent pointers,
getUnderlyingObjects should not assume that Curr and Prev share the same
underlying object in the inner loop.
If it did we would try to dependence-analyze Curr and Prev and the
analysis of the corresponding SCEVs would fail with non-constant
distance.
To fix this, the getUnderlyingObjects API is extended with an optional
LoopInfo parameter. This is effectively what controls whether we want
the above behavior or the original. Currently, I only changed to use
this approach for LoopAccessAnalysis.
The other testcase is to guard the opposite case where we do want to
look through the loop PHI. If we step through an array by incrementing
a pointer, the underlying object is the incoming value of the phi as the
loop is entered.

Both run-time pointer checking and the dependence analysis are capable
of dealing with uniform addresses. I.e. it's really just an orthogonal
property of the loop that the analysis computes.
Run-time pointer checking will only try to reason about SCEVAddRec
pointers or else gives up. If the uniform pointer turns out the be a
SCEVAddRec in an outer loop, the run-time checks generated will be
correct (start and end bounds would be equal).
In case of the dependence analysis, we work again with SCEVs. When
compared against a loop-dependent address of the same underlying object,
the difference of the two SCEVs won't be constant. This will result in
returning an Unknown dependence for the pair.
When compared against another uniform access, the difference would be
constant and we should return the right type of dependence
(forward/backward/etc).
The changes also adds support to query this property of the loop and
modify the vectorizer to use this.
