Stack Smash Protection is not completely free, so in hot code, the overhead it causes can cause performance issues. By adding diagnostic information for which functions have SSP and why, a user can quickly determine what they can do to stop SSP being applied to a specific hot function.
This change adds a remark that is reported by the stack protection code when an instruction or attribute is encountered that causes SSP to be applied.

This needed a const_cast for the dominator tree recalculation in
OptimizationRemarkEmitter, but we do that all over the place already
and it's safe.

This avoids creating a DILocation just to represent a line number,
since creating Metadata is expensive. Creating a DiagnosticLocation
directly is much cheaper.
llvm-svn: 295531
This creates and uses a DiagnosticLocation type rather than using
DebugLoc for this purpose in the backend diagnostics. This is NFC for
now, but will allow us to create locations for diagnostics without
having to create new metadata nodes when we don't have a DILocation.

This allows MIR passes to emit optimization remarks with the same level
of functionality that is available to IR passes.
It also hooks up the greedy register allocator to report spills. This
allows for interesting use cases like increasing interleaving on a loop
until spilling of registers is observed.
I still need to experiment whether reporting every spill scales but this
demonstrates for now that the functionality works from llc
using -pass-remarks*=<pass>.

Code region is the only part of this class that is IR-specific. Code
region is moved down in the inheritance tree to a new derived class,
called DiagnosticInfoIROptimization.
All the existing remarks are derived from this new class now.
This allows the new MIR pass-remark classes to be derived from
DiagnosticInfoOptimizationBase.
Also because we keep the name DiagnosticInfoOptimizationBase, the clang
parts don't need any adjustment.

[recommitting after the fix in r288307]
This requires some changes to the opt-diag API. Hal and I have
discussed this at the Dev Meeting and came up with a streaming delimiter
(setExtraArgs) to solve this.
Arguments after this delimiter are only included in the optimization
records and not in the remarks printed in the compiler output. (Note,
how in the test the content of the YAML file changes but the remarks on
the compiler output don't.)
This implements the green GVN message with a bug fix at line
http://lab.llvm.org:8080/artifacts/opt-view_test-suite/build/SingleSource/Benchmarks/Dhrystone/CMakeFiles/dry.dir/html/_org_test-suite_SingleSource_Benchmarks_Dhrystone_dry.c.html#L446
The fix is that now we properly include the constant value in the
message: "load of type i32 eliminated in favor of 7"

With this we get a new field in the YAML record if the value being
streamed out has a debug location. For examples, please see the changes
to the tests.
This is then used in opt-viewer to display a link for the callee
function in the inlining remarks.

Value names may be prefixed with a binary '1' to indicate that the
backend should not modify the symbols due to any platform naming
convention.
This should not show up in the YAML opt record file because it breaks

(Re-committed after moving the template specialization under the yaml
namespace. GCC was complaining about this.)
This allows various presentation of this data using an external tool.
This was first recommended here[1].
As an example, consider this module:
1 int foo();
2 int bar();
3
4 int baz() {
5 return foo() + bar();
6 }
The inliner generates these missed-optimization remarks today (the
hotness information is pulled from PGO):
remark: /tmp/s.c:5:10: foo will not be inlined into baz (hotness: 30)
remark: /tmp/s.c:5:18: bar will not be inlined into baz (hotness: 30)
Now with -pass-remarks-output=<yaml-file>, we generate this YAML file:
--- !Missed
Pass: inline
Name: NotInlined
DebugLoc: { File: /tmp/s.c, Line: 5, Column: 10 }
Function: baz
Hotness: 30
Args:
- Callee: foo
- String: will not be inlined into
- Caller: baz
...
--- !Missed
Pass: inline
Name: NotInlined
DebugLoc: { File: /tmp/s.c, Line: 5, Column: 18 }
Function: baz
Hotness: 30
Args:
- Callee: bar
- String: will not be inlined into
- Caller: baz
...
This is a summary of the high-level decisions:
* There is a new streaming interface to emit optimization remarks.
E.g. for the inliner remark above:
ORE.emit(DiagnosticInfoOptimizationRemarkMissed(
DEBUG_TYPE, "NotInlined", &I)
<< NV("Callee", Callee) << " will not be inlined into "
<< NV("Caller", CS.getCaller()) << setIsVerbose());
NV stands for named value and allows the YAML client to process a remark
using its name (NotInlined) and the named arguments (Callee and Caller)
without parsing the text of the message.
Subsequent patches will update ORE users to use the new streaming API.
* I am using YAML I/O for writing the YAML file. YAML I/O requires you
to specify reading and writing at once but reading is highly non-trivial
for some of the more complex LLVM types. Since it's not clear that we
(ever) want to use LLVM to parse this YAML file, the code supports and
asserts that we're writing only.
On the other hand, I did experiment that the class hierarchy starting at
DiagnosticInfoOptimizationBase can be mapped back from YAML generated
here (see D24479).
* The YAML stream is stored in the LLVM context.
* In the example, we can probably further specify the IR value used,
i.e. print "Function" rather than "Value".
* As before hotness is computed in the analysis pass instead of
DiganosticInfo. This avoids the layering problem since BFI is in
Analysis while DiagnosticInfo is in IR.

Summary:
This is the first set of changes implementing the RFC from
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/98334
This is a cross-sectional patch; rather than implementing the hotness
attribute for all optimization remarks and all passes in a patch set, it
implements it for the 'missed-optimization' remark for Loop
Distribution. My goal is to shake out the design issues before scaling
it up to other types and passes.
Hotness is computed as an integer as the multiplication of the block
frequency with the function entry count. It's only printed in opt
currently since clang prints the diagnostic fields directly. E.g.:
remark: /tmp/t.c:3:3: loop not distributed: use -Rpass-analysis=loop-distribute for more info (hotness: 300)
A new API added is similar to emitOptimizationRemarkMissed. The
difference is that it additionally takes a code region that the
diagnostic corresponds to. From this, hotness is computed using BFI.
The new API is exposed via an analysis pass so that it can be made
dependent on LazyBFI. (Thanks to Hal for the analysis pass idea.)
This feature can all be enabled by setDiagnosticHotnessRequested in the
LLVM context. If this is off, LazyBFI is not calculated (D22141) so
there should be no overhead.
A new command-line option is added to turn this on in opt.
My plan is to switch all user of emitOptimizationRemark* to use this
module instead.

For the new hotness attribute, the API will take the pass rather than
the pass name so we can no longer play the trick of AlwaysPrint being a
special pass name. This adds a getter to help the transition.
There is also a corresponding clang patch.

allow the transformation to strip invalid debug info.
This patch separates the Verifier into an analysis and a transformation
pass, with the transformation pass optionally stripping malformed
debug info.
The problem I'm trying to solve with this sequence of patches is that
historically we've done a really bad job at verifying debug info. We want
to be able to make the verifier stricter without having to worry about
breaking bitcode compatibility with existing producers. For example, we
don't necessarily want IR produced by an older version of clang to be
rejected by an LTO link just because of malformed debug info, and rather
provide an option to strip it. Note that merely outdated (but well-formed)
debug info would continue to be auto-upgraded in this scenario.

Re-commit of r258951 after fixing layering violation.
The BPF and WebAssembly backends had identical code for emitting errors
for unsupported features, and AMDGPU had very similar code. This merges
them all into one DiagnosticInfo subclass, that can be used by any
backend.
There should be minimal functional changes here, but some AMDGPU tests
have been updated for the new format of errors (it used a slightly
different format to BPF and WebAssembly). The AMDGPU error messages will
now benefit from having precise source locations when debug info is
available.

Re-commit of r258951 after fixing layering violation.
The related LLVM patch adds a backend diagnostic type for reporting
unsupported features, this adds a printer for them to clang.
In the case where debug location information is not available, I've
changed the printer to report the location as the first line of the
function, rather than the closing brace, as the latter does not give the
user any information. This also affects optimisation remarks.

The implementation of DiagnosticInfoUnsupported::print must be in
lib/Codegen rather than in the existing file in lib/IR/ to avoid
introducing a dependency from IR to CodeGen.

--Original Commit Message--
This patch implements a minimum spanning tree (MST) based instrumentation for
PGO. The use of MST guarantees minimum number of CFG edges getting
instrumented. An addition optimization is to instrument the less executed
edges to further reduce the instrumentation overhead. The patch contains both the
instrumentation and the use of the profile to set the branch weights.

This patch and a relatec clang patch solve the problem of having to explicitly enable analysis when specifying a loop hint pragma to get the diagnostics. Passing AlwasyPrint as the pass name (see below) causes the front-end to print the diagnostic if the user has specified '-Rpass-analysis' without an '=<target-pass>’. Users of loop hints can pass that compiler option without having to specify the pass and they will get diagnostics for only those loops with loop hints.
llvm-svn: 244555
This patch moves checking the threshold of runtime pointer checks to the vectorization requirements (late diagnostics) and emits a diagnostic that infroms the user the loop would be vectorized if not for exceeding the pointer-check threshold. Clang will also append the options that can be used to allow vectorization.
llvm-svn: 244523
This patch moves the verification of fast-math to just before vectorization is done. This way we can tell clang to append the command line options would that allow floating-point commutativity. Specifically those are enableing fast-math or specifying a loop hint.
