This file lists every pass in LLVM, and is included by Pass.h, which is
very popular. Every time we add, remove, or rename a pass in LLVM, it
caused lots of recompilation.
I found this fact by looking at this table, which is sorted by the
number of times a file was changed over the last 100,000 git commits
multiplied by the number of object files that depend on it in the
current checkout:

The missing line added by this patch ensures that only spilt variable
locations are candidates for being restored from the stack. Otherwise,
register or constant-value information can be interpreted as a spill
location, through a union.
The added regression test replicates a scenario where this occurs: the
stack load from [rsp] causes the register-location DBG_VALUE to be
"restored" to rsi, when it should be left alone. See PR43058 for details.
Un x-fail a test that was suffering from this from a previous patch.

Summary:
This clang-tidy check is looking for unsigned integer variables whose initializer
starts with an implicit cast from llvm::Register and changes the type of the
variable to llvm::Register (dropping the llvm:: where possible).
Partial reverts in:
X86FrameLowering.cpp - Some functions return unsigned and arguably should be MCRegister
X86FixupLEAs.cpp - Some functions return unsigned and arguably should be MCRegister
X86FrameLowering.cpp - Some functions return unsigned and arguably should be MCRegister
HexagonBitSimplify.cpp - Function takes BitTracker::RegisterRef which appears to be unsigned&
MachineVerifier.cpp - Ambiguous operator==() given MCRegister and const Register
PPCFastISel.cpp - No Register::operator-=()
PeepholeOptimizer.cpp - TargetInstrInfo::optimizeLoadInstr() takes an unsigned&
MachineTraceMetrics.cpp - MachineTraceMetrics lacks a suitable constructor
Manual fixups in:
ARMFastISel.cpp - ARMEmitLoad() now takes a Register& instead of unsigned&
HexagonSplitDouble.cpp - Ternary operator was ambiguous between unsigned/Register
HexagonConstExtenders.cpp - Has a local class named Register, used llvm::Register instead of Register.
PPCFastISel.cpp - PPCEmitLoad() now takes a Register& instead of unsigned&
Depends on D65919

This is the second part of the commit fixing PR38917 (hoisting
partitially redundant machine instruction). Most of PRE (partitial
redundancy elimination) and CSE work is done on LLVM IR, but some of
redundancy arises during DAG legalization. Machine CSE is not enough
to deal with it. This simple PRE implementation works a little bit
intricately: it passes before CSE, looking for partitial redundancy
and transforming it to fully redundancy, anticipating that the next
CSE step will eliminate this created redundancy. If CSE doesn't
eliminate this, than created instruction will remain dead and eliminated
later by Remove Dead Machine Instructions pass.
The third part of the commit is supposed to refactor MachineCSE,
to make it more clear and to merge MachinePRE with MachineCSE,
so one need no rely on further Remove Dead pass to clear instrs
not eliminated by CSE.

The ISD::STRICT_ nodes used to implement the constrained floating-point
intrinsics are currently never passed to the target back-end, which makes
it impossible to handle them correctly (e.g. mark instructions are depending
on a floating-point status and control register, or mark instructions as
possibly trapping).
This patch allows the target to use setOperationAction to switch the action
on ISD::STRICT_ nodes to Legal. If this is done, the SelectionDAG common code
will stop converting the STRICT nodes to regular floating-point nodes, but
instead pass the STRICT nodes to the target using normal SelectionDAG
matching rules.
To avoid having the back-end duplicate all the floating-point instruction
patterns to handle both strict and non-strict variants, we make the MI
codegen explicitly aware of the floating-point exceptions by introducing
two new concepts:
- A new MCID flag "mayRaiseFPException" that the target should set on any
instruction that possibly can raise FP exception according to the
architecture definition.
- A new MI flag FPExcept that CodeGen/SelectionDAG will set on any MI
instruction resulting from expansion of any constrained FP intrinsic.
Any MI instruction that is *both* marked as mayRaiseFPException *and*
FPExcept then needs to be considered as raising exceptions by MI-level
codegen (e.g. scheduling).
Setting those two new flags is straightforward. The mayRaiseFPException
flag is simply set via TableGen by marking all relevant instruction
patterns in the .td files.
The FPExcept flag is set in SDNodeFlags when creating the STRICT_ nodes
in the SelectionDAG, and gets inherited in the MachineSDNode nodes created
from it during instruction selection. The flag is then transfered to an
MIFlag when creating the MI from the MachineSDNode. This is handled just
like fast-math flags like no-nans are handled today.
This patch includes both common code changes required to implement the
new features, and the SystemZ implementation.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

Change of approach, it looks like it's a much better idea to deal with
the vregs that have LLTs and reg classes both properly, than trying to
avoid creating those across all GlobalISel passes and all targets.
The change mostly touches MachineRegisterInfo::constrainRegClass,
which is apparently only used by MachineCSE. The changes are NFC for
any pipeline but one that contains MachineCSE mid-GlobalISel.
NOTE on isCallerPreservedOrConstPhysReg change in MachineCSE:
There is no test covering it as the only way to insert a new pass
(MachineCSE) from a command line I know of is llc's -run-pass option,
which only works with MIR, but MIRParser freezes reserved registers upon
MachineFunctions creation, making it impossible to reproduce the state
that exposes the issue.

Apparently, MachineInstr class definition as well as pretty much all of
the machine passes assume that the only kind of MachineInstr's operands
that is variadic for variadic opcodes is explicit non-definitions.
In particular, this assumption is made by MachineInstr::defs(), uses(),
and explicit_uses() methods, as well as by MachineCSE pass.
The assumption is incorrect judging from at least TableGen backend
implementation, that recognizes variable_ops in OutOperandList, and the
very existence of G_UNMERGE_VALUES generic opcode, or ARM load multiple
instructions, all of which have variadic defs.
In particular, MachineCSE pass breaks MIR with CSE'able G_UNMERGE_VALUES
instructions in it.
This commit implements MachineInstr::getNumExplicitDefs() similar to
pre-existing MachineInstr::getNumExplicitOperands(), fixes
MachineInstr::defs(), uses(), and explicit_uses(), and fixes MachineCSE
pass.
As the issue addressed seems to affect only machine passes that could be
ran mid-GlobalISel pipeline at the moment, the other passes aren't fixed
by this commit, like MachineLICM: that could be done on per-pass basis
when (if ever) they get adopted for GlobalISel.

Because we create a new kind of debug instruction, DBG_LABEL, we need to
check all passes which use isDebugValue() to check MachineInstr is debug
instruction or not. When expelling debug instructions, we should expel
both DBG_VALUE and DBG_LABEL. So, I create a new function,
isDebugInstr(), in MachineInstr to check whether the MachineInstr is
debug instruction or not.
This patch has no new test case. I have run regression test and there is

Right now, it is not possible to run MachineCSE in the middle of the
GlobalISel pipeline. Being able to run generic optimizations between the
core passes of GlobalISel was one of the goals of the new ISel framework.
This is the first attempt to do it.
The problem is that MachineCSE pass assumes all register operands have a
register class, which, in GlobalISel context, won't be true until after the
InstructionSelect pass. The reason for this behaviour is that before
replacing one virtual register with another, MachineCSE pass (and most of
the other optimization machine passes) must check if the virtual registers'
constraints have a (sufficiently large) intersection, and constrain the
resulting register appropriately if such intersection exists.
GlobalISel extends the representation of such constraints from just a
register class to a triple (low-level type, register bank, register
class).
This commit adds MachineRegisterInfo::constrainRegAttrs method that extends
MachineRegisterInfo::constrainRegClass to such a triple.
The idea is that going forward we should use:
- RegisterBankInfo::constrainGenericRegister within GlobalISel's
InstructionSelect pass
- MachineRegisterInfo::constrainRegClass within SelectionDAG ISel
- MachineRegisterInfo::constrainRegAttrs everywhere else regardless
the target and instruction selector it uses.

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

This is mostly a mechanical change to make TargetInstrInfo API take
MachineInstr& (instead of MachineInstr* or MachineBasicBlock::iterator)
when the argument is expected to be a valid MachineInstr. This is a
general API improvement.
Although it would be possible to do this one function at a time, that
would demand a quadratic amount of churn since many of these functions
call each other. Instead I've done everything as a block and just
updated what was necessary.
This is mostly mechanical fixes: adding and removing `*` and `&`
operators. The only non-mechanical change is to split
ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatencyImpl out from
ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatency. Previously, the latter took a
`MachineInstr*` which it updated to the instruction bundle leader; now,
the latter calls the former either with the same `MachineInstr&` or the
bundle leader.
As a side effect, this removes a bunch of MachineInstr* to
MachineBasicBlock::iterator implicit conversions, a necessary step
toward fixing PR26753.
Note: I updated WebAssembly, Lanai, and AVR (despite being
off-by-default) since it turned out to be easy. I couldn't run tests
for AVR since llc doesn't link with it turned on.

The original commit was reverted because of a buildbot problem with LazyCallGraph::SCC handling (not related to the OptBisect handling).
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D19172
llvm-svn: 267231
This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.
The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit). Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit. A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.
The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check. Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute. A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

With this change, ideally IR pass can always generate llvm.stackguard
call to get the stack guard; but for now there are still IR form stack
guard customizations around (see getIRStackGuard()). Future SSP
customization should go through LOAD_STACK_GUARD.
There is a behavior change: stack guard values are not CSEed anymore,
since we should never reuse the value in case that it has been spilled (and
corrupted). See ssp-guard-spill.ll. This also cause the change of stack
size and codegen in X86 and AArch64 test cases.
Ideally we'd like to know if the guard created in llvm.stackprotector() gets
spilled or not. If the value is spilled, discard the value and reload
stack guard; otherwise reuse the value. This can be done by teaching
register allocator to know how to rematerialize LOAD_STACK_GUARD and
force a rematerialization (which seems hard), or check for spilling in
expandPostRAPseudo. It only makes sense when the stack guard is a global
variable, which requires more instructions to load. Anyway, this seems to go out
of the scope of the current patch.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.
