This new pass removes unnecessary accesses and writes. It currently
supports 2 simplifications, but more are planned.
It removes write accesses that write a loaded value back to the location
it was loaded from. It is a typical artifact from DeLICM. Removing it
will get rid of bogus dependencies later in dependency analysis.
It also removes statements without side-effects. ScopInfo already
removes these, but the removal of unnecessary writes can result in
more side-effect free statements.

Marking a pass as preserved is necessary if any Polly pass uses it, even

When generating code in the BlockGenerator we copy all (interesting)
instructions and keep track of the new values in a basic block map. To obtain
the original llvm::Value that belongs to a load memory access, we use
getAccessValue() instead of getOriginalBaseAddr(). The former always references
the instruction we use to load values from. The latter, on the other hand,
is obtaine from the corresponding ScopArrayInfo and would not be unique in
case ScopArrayInfo objects at some point allow memory accesses with different
base addresses.
This change is an update on r294566, which only clarified that we need the
original memory access, but where we still remained dependent to have one
base pointer per scop.
This change removes unnecessary uses of MemoryAddress::getOriginalBaseAddr() in
preparation for https://reviews.llvm.org/D28518.

Instead of iterating over statements and their memory accesses to extract the
set of available base pointers, just directly iterate over all ScopArray
objects. This reflects more the actual intend of the code: collect all arrays
(and their base pointers) to emit alias information that specifies that accesses
to different arrays cannot alias.

llvm-svn: 294574
Before this change we used the name of the base pointer to mark reductions. This
is imprecise as the canonical reference is the ScopArray itself and not the
basepointer of a reduction. Using the base pointer of reductions is problematic
in cases where a single ScopArray is referenced through two different base
pointers.

When regenerating code in the BlockGenerator we copy instructions that may
references scalar values, for which the new value of a given scalar is looked up
in BBMap using the original scalar llvm::Value as index. It is consequently
necessary that (re)loaded scalar values are made available in BBMap using the
original llvm::Value as key independently if the llvm::Value was (re)loaded from
the original scalar or a new access function has been specified that caused the
value to be reloaded from an array with a differnet base address. We make this
clear by using MemoryAccess::getOriginalBaseAddr() instead of
MemoryAccess::getBaseAddr() as index to BBMap.
This change removes unnecessary uses of MemoryAddress::getBaseAddr() in
preparation for https://reviews.llvm.org/D28518.
llvm-svn: 294566
Instead of keeping two separate maps from Value to Allocas, one for
MemoryType::Value and the other for MemoryType::PHI, we introduce a single map
from ScopArrayInfo to the corresponding Alloca. This change is intended, both as
a general simplification and cleanup, but also to reduce our use of
MemoryAccess::getBaseAddr(). Moving away from using getBaseAddr() makes sure
we have only a single place where the array (and its base pointer) for which we
generate code for is specified, which means we can more easily introduce new
access functions that use a different ScopArrayInfo as base. We already today
experiment with modifiable access functions, so this change does not address
a specific bug, but it just reduces the scope one needs to reason about.
Another motivation for this patch is https://reviews.llvm.org/D28518, where
memory accesses with different base pointers could possibly be mapped to a
single ScopArrayInfo object. Such a mapping is currently not possible, as we
currently generate alloca instructions according to the base addresses of the
memory accesses, not according to the ScopArrayInfo object they belong to. By
making allocas ScopArrayInfo specific, a mapping to a single ScopArrayInfo
object will automatically mean that the same stack slot is used for these
arrays. For D28518 this is not a problem, as only MemoryType::Array objects are
mapping, but resolving this inconsistency will hopefully avoid confusion.
llvm-svn: 293374
Before this change we created an additional reload in the copy of the incoming
block of a PHI node to reload the incoming value, even though the necessary
value has already been made available by the normally generated scalar loads.
In this change, we drop the code that generates this redundant reload and
instead just reuse the scalar value already available.
Besides making the generated code slightly cleaner, this change also makes sure
that scalar loads go through the normal logic, which means they can be remapped
(e.g. to array slots) and corresponding code is generated to load from the
remapped location. Without this change, the original scalar load at the
beginning of the non-affine region would have been remapped, but the redundant
scalar load would continue to load from the old PHI slot location.
It might be possible to further simplify the code in addOperandToPHI,
but this would not only mean to pull out getNewValue, but to also change the
insertion point update logic. As this did not work when trying it the first
time, this change is likely not trivial. To not introduce bugs last minute, we
postpone further simplications to a subsequent commit.
We also document the current behavior a little bit better.

To benefit of the type safety guarantees of C++11 typed enums, which would have
caught the type mismatch fixed in r291960, we make MemoryKind a typed enum.
This change also allows us to drop the 'MK_' prefix and to instead use the more
descriptive full name of the enum as prefix. To reduce the amount of typing
needed, we use this opportunity to move MemoryKind from ScopArrayInfo to a
global scope, which means the ScopArrayInfo:: prefix is not needed. This move
also makes historically sense. In the beginning of Polly we had different
MemoryKind enums in both MemoryAccess and ScopArrayInfo, which were later
canonicalized to one. During this canonicalization we just choose the enum in
ScopArrayInfo, but did not consider to move this shared enum to global scope.

This change fixes the crash reported in http://llvm.org/PR30956
The original reason why we did not include the context when generating an
AST was that CLooG and later isl used to sometimes transfer some of the
constraints that bound the size of parameters from the context into the
generated AST. This resulted in operations with very large constants, which
sometimes introduced problematic integer overflows. The latest versions of
the isl AST generator are careful to not introduce such constants.

Instead, we fix this failure in CodeGen itself. createExitPHINodeMerges(),

generateScalarLoad() and generateScalarStore() are used for explicit (MK_Array)

Offloading to a GPU is only beneficial if there is a sufficient amount of
compute that can be accelerated. Many kernels just have a very small number
of dynamic compute, which means GPU acceleration is not beneficial. We
compute at run-time an approximation of how many dynamic instructions will be
executed and fall back to CPU code in case this number is not sufficiently
large. To keep the run-time checking code simple, we over-approximate the
number of instructions executed in each statement by computing the volume of
the rectangular hull of its iteration space.
llvm-svn: 281848
We may generate GPU kernels that store into scalars in case we run some
sequential code on the GPU because the remaining data is expected to already be
on the GPU. For these kernels it is important to not keep the scalar values
in thread-local registers, but to store them back to the corresponding device
memory objects that backs them up.
We currently only store scalars back at the end of a kernel. This is only
correct if precisely one thread is executed. In case more than one thread may
be run, we currently invalidate the scop. To support such cases correctly,
we would need to always load and store back from a corresponding global
memory slot instead of a thread-local alloca slot.

Our alias checks precisely check that the minimal and maximal accessed elements
do not overlap in a kernel. Hence, we must ensure that our host <-> device
transfers do not touch additional memory locations that are not covered in
the alias check. To ensure this, we make sure that the data we copy for a
given array is only the data from the smallest element accessed to the largest
element accessed.
We also adjust the size of the array according to the offset at which the array
is actually accessed.
An interesting result of this is: In case array are accessed with negative
subscripts ,e.g., A[-100], we automatically allocate and transfer _more_ data to
cover the full array. This is important as such code indeed exists in the wild.

getIncoming() do not change even if the kind is changed and are still

After having generated the code for a ScopStmt, we run a simple dead-code

Until this change, we only considered instructions for dead-code elimination, if
they have a corresponding instruction in the original BB that belongs to
ScopStmt. However, when generating code we do not only copy code from the BB
belonging to a ScopStmt, but also generate code for operands referenced from BB.
After this change, we now also considers code for dead code elimination, which
does not have a corresponding instruction in BB.
