BBVectorize would, except for loads and stores, always fuse instructions
so that the first instruction (in the current source order) would always
represent the low part of the input vectors and the second instruction
would always represent the high part. This lead to too many shuffles
being produced because sometimes the opposite order produces fewer of them.
With this change, BBVectorize tracks the kind of pair connections that form
the DAG of candidate pairs, and uses that information to reorder the pairs to
avoid excess shuffles. Using this information, a future commit will be able
to add VTTI-based shuffle costs to the pair selection procedure. Importantly,
the number of remaining shuffles can now be estimated during pair selection.
There are some trivial instruction reorderings in the test cases, and one
simple additional test where we certainly want to do a reordering to
avoid an unnecessary shuffle.

Instead of recomputing relative pointer information just prior to fusing,
cache this information (which also needs to be computed during the
candidate-pair selection process). This cuts down on the total number of
SE queries made, and also is a necessary intermediate step on the road toward
including shuffle costs in the pair selection procedure.
No functionality change is intended.

Stop propagating the FlipMemInputs variable into the routines that
create the replacement instructions. Instead, just flip the arguments
of those routines. This allows for some associated cleanup (not all
of which is done here). No functionality change is intended.

SE was being called during the instruction-fusion process (when the result
is unreliable, and thus ignored). No functionality change is intended.
llvm-svn: 167037
The monolithic interface for instruction costs has been split into
several functions. This is the corresponding change. No functionality
change is intended.

This is needed so that perl's SHA can be compiled (otherwise
BBVectorize takes far too long to find its fixed point).
I'll try to come up with a reduced test case.

This is the first of several steps to incorporate information from the new
TargetTransformInfo infrastructure into BBVectorize. Two things are done here:
1. Target information is used to determine if it is profitable to fuse two
instructions. This means that the cost of the vector operation must not
be more expensive than the cost of the two original operations. Pairs that
are not profitable are no longer considered (because current cost information
is incomplete, for intrinsics for example, equal-cost pairs are still
considered).
2. The 'cost savings' computed for the profitability check are also used to
rank the DAGs that represent the potential vectorization plans. Specifically,
for nodes of non-trivial depth, the cost savings is used as the node
weight.
The next step will be to incorporate the shuffle costs into the DAG weighting;
this will give the edges of the DAG weights as well. Once that is done, when
target information is available, we should be able to dispense with the
depth heuristic.

Unreachable blocks can have invalid instructions. For example,
jump threading can produce self-referential instructions in
unreachable blocks. Also, we should not be spending time
optimizing unreachable code. Fixes PR14133.
llvm-svn: 166423
This disables malloc-specific optimization when -fno-builtin (or -ffreestanding)
is specified. This has been a problem for a long time but became more severe
with the recent memory builtin improvements.
Since the memory builtin functions are used everywhere, this required passing
TLI in many places. This means that functions that now have an optional TLI
argument, like RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadFunctions, won't remove dead
mallocs anymore if the TLI argument is missing. I've updated most passes to do
the right thing.
Fixes PR13694 and probably others.

When both a load/store and its address computation are being vectorized, it can
happen that the address-computation vectorization destroys SCEV's ability
to analyize the relative pointer offsets. As a result (like with the aliasing
analysis info), we need to precompute the necessary information prior to
instruction fusing.
This was found during stress testing (running through the test suite with a very
low required chain length); unfortunately, I don't have a small test case.
llvm-svn: 159332
The original algorithm only used recursive pair fusion of equal-length
types. This is now extended to allow pairing of any types that share
the same underlying scalar type. Because we would still generally
prefer the 2^n-length types, those are formed first. Then a second
set of iterations form the non-2^n-length types.
Also, a call to SimplifyInstructionsInBlock has been added after each
pairing iteration. This takes care of DCE (and a few other things)
that make the following iterations execute somewhat faster. For the
same reason, some of the simple shuffle-combination cases are now
handled internally.
There is some additional refactoring work to be done, but I've had
many requests for this feature, so additional refactoring will come
soon in future commits (as will additional test cases).
llvm-svn: 159330
Maintaining this kind of checking in different places is dangerous, extending
Instruction::isSameOperationAs consolidates this logic into one place. Here
I've added an optional flags parameter and two flags that are important for
vectorization: CompareIgnoringAlignment and CompareUsingScalarTypes.
llvm-svn: 159329
The present implementation handles only TBAA and FP metadata, discarding everything else.
For debug metadata, the current behavior is maintained (the debug metadata associated with
one of the instructions will be kept, discarding that attached to the other).
This should address PR 13040.
llvm-svn: 158606
Target specific types should not be vectorized. As a practical matter,
these types are already register matched (at least in the x86 case),
and codegen does not always work correctly (at least in the ppc case,
and this is not worth fixing because ppc_fp128 is currently broken and
will probably go away soon).
llvm-svn: 155729
When vectorizing pointer types it is important to realize that potential
pairs cannot be connected via the address pointer argument of a load or store.
This is because even after vectorization, the address is still a scalar because
the address of the higher half of the pair is implicit from the address of the
lower half (it need not be, and should not be, explicitly computed).

of the BBVectorizePass without using command line option. As pointed out
by Hal, we can ask the TargetLoweringInfo for the architecture specific
VectorizeConfig to perform vectorizing with architecture specific
information.

The powi intrinsic requires special handling because it always takes a single
integer power regardless of the result type. As a result, we can vectorize
only if the powers are equal. Fixes PR12364.

This allows BBVectorize to check the "unknown instruction" list in the
alias sets. This is important to prevent instruction fusing from reordering
function calls. Resolves PR11920.

By default, boost the chain depth contribution of loads and stores. This will allow a load/store pair to vectorize even when it would not otherwise be long enough to satisfy the chain depth requirement.

As suggested by Nick Lewycky, the tree traversal queues have been changed to SmallVectors and the associated loops have been rotated. Also, an 80-col violation was fixed.

Long basic blocks with many candidate pairs (such as in the SHA implementation in Perl 5.14; thanks to Roman Divacky for the example) used to take an unacceptably-long time to compile. Instead, break long blocks into groups so that no group has too many candidate pairs.

This is the initial checkin of the basic-block autovectorization pass along with some supporting vectorization infrastructure.
Special thanks to everyone who helped review this code over the last several months (especially Tobias Grosser).
