Summary:
In revision rL278321, ExecutionDepsFix learned how to pick a better
register for undef register reads, e.g. for instructions such as
`vcvtsi2sdq`. While this revision improved performance on a good number
of our benchmarks, it unfortunately also caused significant regressions
(up to 3x) on others. This regression turned out to be caused by loops
such as:
PH -> A -> B (xmm<Undef> -> xmm<Def>) -> C -> D -> EXIT
^ |
+----------------------------------+
In the previous version of the clearance calculation, we would visit
the blocks in order, remembering for each whether there were any
incoming backedges from blocks that we hadn't processed yet and if
so queuing up the block to be re-processed. However, for loop structures
such as the above, this is clearly insufficient, since the block B
does not have any unknown backedges, so we do not see the false
dependency from the previous interation's Def of xmm registers in B.
To fix this, we need to consider all blocks that are part of the loop
and reprocess them one the correct clearance values are known. As
an optimization, we also want to avoid reprocessing any later blocks
that are not part of the loop.
In summary, the iteration order is as follows:
Before: PH A B C D A'
Corrected (Naive): PH A B C D A' B' C' D'
Corrected (w/ optimization): PH A B C A' B' C' D
To facilitate this optimization we introduce two new counters for each
basic block. The first counts how many of it's predecssors have
completed primary processing. The second counts how many of its
predecessors have completed all processing (we will call such a block
*done*. Now, the criteria to reprocess a block is as follows:
- All Predecessors have completed primary processing
- For x the number of predecessors that have completed primary
processing *at the time of primary processing of this block*,
the number of predecessors that are done has reached x.
The intuition behind this criterion is as follows:
We need to perform primary processing on all predecessors in order to
find out any direct defs in those predecessors. When predecessors are
done, we also know that we have information about indirect defs (e.g.
in block B though that were inherited through B->C->A->B). However,
we can't wait for all predecessors to be done, since that would
cause cyclic dependencies. However, it is guaranteed that all those
predecessors that are prior to us in reverse postorder will be done
before us. Since we iterate of the basic blocks in reverse postorder,
the number x above, is precisely the count of the number of predecessors
prior to us in reverse postorder.

This patch helps avoid false dependencies on undef registers by updating the machine instructions' undef operand to use a register that the instruction is truly dependent on, or use a register with clearance higher than Pref.
Pseudo example:
loop:
xmm0 = ...
xmm1 = vcvtsi2sdl eax, xmm0<undef>
... = inst xmm0
jmp loop
In this example, selecting xmm0 as the undef register creates false dependency between loop iterations.
This false dependency cannot be solved by inserting an xor before vcvtsi2sdl because xmm0 is alive at the point of the vcvtsi2sdl instruction.
Selecting a different register instead of xmm0, especially a register that is not used in the loop, will eliminate this problem.

The clearance calculation did not take into account registers defined as outputs or clobbers in inline assembly machine instructions because these register defs are implicit.

Presently, CodeGenPrepare deletes all nearly empty (only phi and branch)
basic blocks. This pass can delete loop preheaders which frequently creates
critical edges. A preheader can be a convenient place to spill registers to
the stack. If the entrance to a loop body is a critical edge, then spills
may occur in the loop body rather than immediately before it. This patch
protects loop preheaders from deletion in CodeGenPrepare even if they are
nearly empty.
Since the patch alters the CFG, it affects a large number of test cases.
In most cases, the changes are merely cosmetic (basic blocks have different
names or instruction orders change slightly). I am somewhat concerned about
the test/CodeGen/Mips/brdelayslot.ll test case. If the loop preheader is not
deleted, then the MIPS backend does not take advantage of a branch delay
slot. Consequently, I would like some close review by a MIPS expert.
The patch also partially subsumes D16893 from George Burgess IV. George
correctly notes that CodeGenPrepare does not actually preserve the dominator
tree. I think the dominator tree was usually not valid when CodeGenPrepare
ran, but I am using LoopInfo to mark preheaders, so the dominator tree is
now always valid before CodeGenPrepare.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.
update.py:
import fileinput
import sys
import re
ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
normrep = re.compile( r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
def conv(match, line):

line += match.groups()[3]
line += ", "
line += match.groups()[1]
line += "\n"
return line
for line in sys.stdin:
if line.find("getelementptr ") == line.find("getelementptr inbounds"):
if line.find("getelementptr inbounds") != line.find("getelementptr inbounds ("):
line = conv(re.match(ibrep, line), line)
elif line.find("getelementptr ") != line.find("getelementptr ("):
line = conv(re.match(normrep, line), line)
sys.stdout.write(line)
apply.sh:
for name in "$@"
do
python3 `dirname "$0"`/update.py < "$name" > "$name.tmp" && mv "$name.tmp" "$name"
rm -f "$name.tmp"
done
The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).
The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.
