Each Calling convention (CC) defines a static list of registers that should be preserved by a callee function. All other registers should be saved by the caller.
Some CCs use additional condition: If the register is used for passing/returning arguments – the caller needs to save it - even if it is part of the Callee Saved Registers (CSR) list.
The current LLVM implementation doesn’t support it. It will save a register if it is part of the static CSR list and will not care if the register is passed/returned by the callee.
The solution is to dynamically allocate the CSR lists (Only for these CCs). The lists will be updated with actual registers that should be saved by the callee.
Since we need the allocated lists to live as long as the function exists, the list should reside inside the Machine Register Info (MRI) which is a property of the Machine Function and managed by it (and has the same life span).
The lists should be saved in the MRI and populated upon LowerCall and LowerFormalArguments.
The patch will also assist to implement future no_caller_saved_regsiters attribute intended for interrupt handler CC.

I want to compute the SSA property of .mir files automatically in
upcoming patches. The problem with this is that some inputs will be
reported as static single assignment with some passes claiming not to
support SSA form. In reality though those passes do not support PHI
instructions => Track the presence of PHI instructions separate from the
SSA property.

another about live range update of phi after rematerialization.
r265547:
Replace analyzeSiblingValues with new algorithm to fix its compile
time issue. The patch is to solve PR17409 and its duplicates.
analyzeSiblingValues is a N x N complexity algorithm where N is
the number of siblings generated by reg splitting. Although it
causes siginificant compile time issue when N is large, it is also
important for performance since it removes redundent spills and
enables rematerialization.
To solve the compile time issue, the patch removes analyzeSiblingValues
and replaces it with lower cost alternatives containing two parts. The
first part creates a new spill hoisting method in postOptimization of
register allocation. It does spill hoisting at once after all the spills
are generated instead of inside every instance of selectOrSplit. The
second part queries the define expr of the original register for
rematerializaiton and keep it always available during register allocation
even if it is already dead. It deletes those dead instructions only in
postOptimization. With the two parts in the patch, it can remove
analyzeSiblingValues without sacrificing performance.

MachineFunctionProperties represents a set of properties that a MachineFunction
can have at particular points in time. Existing examples of this idea are
MachineRegisterInfo::isSSA() and MachineRegisterInfo::tracksLiveness() which
will eventually be switched to use this mechanism.
This change introduces the AllVRegsAllocated property; i.e. the property that
all virtual registers have been allocated and there are no VReg operands
left.
With this mechanism, passes can declare that they require a particular property
to be set, or that they set or clear properties by implementing e.g.
MachineFunctionPass::getRequiredProperties(). The MachineFunctionPass base class
verifies that the requirements are met, and handles the setting and clearing
based on the delcarations. Passes can also directly query and update the current
properties of the MF if they want to have conditional behavior.
This change annotates the target-independent post-regalloc passes; future
changes will also annotate target-specific ones.

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.

PR24139 contains an analysis of poor register allocation. One of the findings
was that when calculating the spill weight, a rematerializable interval once
split is no longer rematerializable. This is because the isRematerializable
check in CalcSpillWeights.cpp does not follow the copies introduced by live
range splitting (after splitting, the live interval register definition is a
copy which is not rematerializable).

Build time (user time) for building llvm+clang+lldb in release mode:

Such edges are zero matrix, and they bring no additional info to the
allocation problem, apart from contributing to nodes' degree. Removing
those edges is expected to improve allocation time.
Tune the spill cost comparison, as this gives better average performances
now that the nodes' degrees has changed.
llvm-svn: 230904
Although such nodes are allocatable, the cost of spilling may be less than
allocating to register, so spilling the node may provide a better solution.
The assert does not account for this case, so remove it for now.
llvm-svn: 229103
The NodeMetadata are maintained in an incremental way. When an edge between
2 nodes has its cost updated, in the course of graph reduction for example,
the NodeMetadata need first to have the old edge cost removed, then the new
edge cost added. Only once the NodeMetadata have been fully updated, it
becomes safe to consider promoting the nodes to the
ConservativelyAllocatable or OptimallyReducible sets. Previously, this
promotion was occuring right after the removing the old cost, and this was
breaking the assumption that a ConservativelyAllocatable should not be
spilled.
This patch also adds asserts to:
- enforces the invariant that a node's reduction can not be downgraded,
- only not provably allocatable or optimally reducible nodes can be spilled.
llvm-svn: 228816
The PBQP::RegAlloc::MatrixMetadata class assumes that matrices have at least two
rows/columns (for the spill option plus at least one physreg). This patch
ensures that that invariant is met by pre-spilling vregs that have no physreg
options so that no node (and no corresponding edges) need be added to the PBQP
graph.
This fixes a bug in an out-of-tree target that was identified by Jonas Paulsson.
Thanks for tracking this down Jonas!

Registers are not all equal. Some are not allocatable (infinite cost),
some have to be preserved but can be used, and some others are just free
to use.
Ensure there is a cost hierarchy reflecting this fact, so that the
allocator will favor scratch registers over callee-saved registers.
llvm-svn: 221293
This patch improves how the different costs (register, interference, spill
and coalescing) relates together. The assumption is now that:
- coalescing (or any other "side effect" of reg alloc) is negative, and
instead of being derived from a spill cost, they use the block
frequency info.
- spill costs are in the [MinSpillCost:+inf( range
- register or interference costs are in [0.0:MinSpillCost( or +inf
The current MinSpillCost is set to 10.0, which is a random value high
enough that the current constraint builders do not need to worry about
when settings costs. It would however be worth adding a normalization
step for register and interference costs as the last step in the
constraint builder chain to ensure they are not greater than SpillMinCost
(unless this has some sense for some architectures). This would work well
with the current builder pipeline, where all costs are tweaked relatively
to each others, but could grow above MinSpillCost if the pipeline is
deep enough.
The current heuristic is tuned to depend rather on the number of uses of
a live interval rather than a density of uses, as used by the greedy
allocator. This heuristic provides a few percent improvement on a number
of benchmarks (eembc, spec, ...) and will definitely need to change once
spill placement is implemented: the current spill placement is really
ineficient, so making the cost proportionnal to the number of use is a
clear win.

This patch removes the PBQPBuilder class and its subclasses and replaces them
