Enough concerns were raised that this optimization is pessimising some code patterns.
The obvious fix, to add a Reassociate run afterwards, causes even more pessimisation in some cases due to fewer complex addressing modes being matched. As there isn't a trivial fix for this, backing this out by default until someone gets a chance to fix the addressing mode matcher.

Currently, there's a single flag, checked by the pass itself.
It can't force-enable the pass (and is on by default), because it
might not even have been created, as that's the targets decision.
Instead, have separate explicit flags, so that the decision is
consistently made in the target.
Keep the flag as a last-resort "force-disable GlobalMerge" for now,
for backwards compatibility.
llvm-svn: 234666
The pass used to be enabled by default with CodeGenOpt::Less (-O1).
This is too aggressive, considering the pass indiscriminately merges
all globals together.
Currently, performance doesn't always improve, and, on code that uses
few globals (e.g., the odd file- or function- static), more often than
not is degraded by the optimization. Lengthy discussion can be found
on llvmdev (AArch64-focused; ARM has similar problems):
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-February/082800.html
Also, it makes tooling and debuggers less useful when dealing with
globals and data sections.
GlobalMerge needs to better identify those cases that benefit, and this
will be done separately. In the meantime, move the pass to run with
-O3 rather than -O1, on both ARM and AArch64.

as we don't necessarily need to do this yet - though we could move
the base class to the TargetMachine as it isn't subtarget dependent.
This reverts commit r232103.
llvm-svn: 232665
Summary:
I don't know why every singled backend had to redeclare its own DataLayout.
There was a virtual getDataLayout() on the common base TargetMachine, the
default implementation returned nullptr. It was not clear from this that
we could assume at call site that a DataLayout will be available with
each Target.
Now getDataLayout() is no longer virtual and return a pointer to the
DataLayout member of the common base TargetMachine. I plan to turn it into
a reference in a future patch.
The only backend that didn't have a DataLayout previsouly was the CPPBackend.
It now initializes the default DataLayout. This commit is NFC for all the
other backends.

It was previously using the subtarget to get values for the global
offset without actually checking each function as it was generating
code. Go ahead and solidify the current behavior and make the
existing FIXMEs more prominent.
As a note the ARM backend previously had a thumb1 and non-thumb1
set of defaults. Only the former was tested so I've changed the
behavior to only use that for now.

LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.
This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.
The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".
llvm-svn: 229094
TargetIRAnalysis access path directly rather than implementing getTTI.
This even removes getTTI from the interface. It's more efficient for
each target to just register a precise callback that creates their
specific TTI.
As part of this, all of the targets which are building their subtargets
individually per-function now build their TTI instance with the function
and thus look up the correct subtarget and cache it. NVPTX, R600, and
XCore currently don't leverage this functionality, but its trivial for
them to add it now.
llvm-svn: 227735
base which it adds a single analysis pass to, to instead return the type
erased TargetTransformInfo object constructed for that TargetMachine.
This removes all of the pass variants for TTI. There is now a single TTI
*pass* in the Analysis layer. All of the Analysis <-> Target
communication is through the TTI's type erased interface itself. While
the diff is large here, it is nothing more that code motion to make
types available in a header file for use in a different source file
within each target.
I've tried to keep all the doxygen comments and file boilerplate in line
with this move, but let me know if I missed anything.
With this in place, the next step to making TTI work with the new pass
manager is to introduce a really simple new-style analysis that produces
a TTI object via a callback into this routine on the target machine.
Once we have that, we'll have the building blocks necessary to accept
a function argument as well.
llvm-svn: 227685
type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.
The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.
I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.
There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.
The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.
Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.
The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]
Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:
1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
the TTI in each target.
Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

derived classes.
Since global data alignment, layout, and mangling is often based on the
DataLayout, move it to the TargetMachine. This ensures that global
data is going to be layed out and mangled consistently if the subtarget
changes on a per function basis. Prior to this all targets(*) have
had subtarget dependent code moved out and onto the TargetMachine.
*One target hasn't been migrated as part of this change: R600. The
R600 port has, as a subtarget feature, the size of pointers and
this affects global data layout. I've currently hacked in a FIXME
to enable progress, but the port needs to be updated to either pass
the 64-bitness to the TargetMachine, or fix the DataLayout to
avoid subtarget dependent features.

Previously print+verify passes were added in a very unsystematic way, which is
annoying when debugging as you miss intermediate steps and allows bugs to stay
unnotice when no verification is performed.
To make this change practical I added the possibility to explicitely disable
verification. I used this option on all places where no verification was
performed previously (because alot of places actually don't pass the
MachineVerifier).
In the long term these problems should be fixed properly and verification
enabled after each pass. I'll enable some more verification in subsequent
commits.
This is the 2nd attempt at this after realizing that PassManager::add() may
actually delete the pass.

These recently all grew a unique_ptr<TargetLoweringObjectFile> member in
r221878. When anyone calls a virtual method of a class, clang-cl
requires all virtual methods to be semantically valid. This includes the
implicit virtual destructor, which triggers instantiation of the
unique_ptr destructor, which fails because the type being deleted is
incomplete.
This is just part of the ongoing saga of PR20337, which is affecting
Blink as well. Because the MSVC ABI doesn't have key functions, we end
up referencing the vtable and implicit destructor on any virtual call
through a class. We don't actually end up emitting the dtor, so it'd be
good if we could avoid this unneeded type completion work.

SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP can gives more optimizaiton opportunities related to GEPs, which benefits EarlyCSE
and LICM. By enabling these passes we can have better address calculations and generate a better addressing

This enables targets to adapt their pass pipeline to the register
allocator in use. For example, with the AArch64 backend, using PBQP
with the cortex-a57, the FPLoadBalancing pass is no longer necessary.
llvm-svn: 220321
Some early revisions of the Cortex-A53 have an erratum (835769) whereby it is
possible for a 64-bit multiply-accumulate instruction in AArch64 state to
generate an incorrect result. The details are quite complex and hard to
determine statically, since branches in the code may exist in some
circumstances, but all cases end with a memory (load, store, or prefetch)
instruction followed immediately by the multiply-accumulate operation.
The safest work-around for this issue is to make the compiler avoid emitting
multiply-accumulate instructions immediately after memory instructions and the
simplest way to do this is to insert a NOP.
This patch implements such work-around in the backend, enabled via the option
-aarch64-fix-cortex-a53-835769.
The work-around code generation is not enabled by default.

This patch removes the PBQPBuilder class and its subclasses and replaces them
with a composable constraints class: PBQPRAConstraint. This allows constraints
that are only required for optimisation (e.g. coalescing, soft pairing) to be
mixed and matched.
This patch also introduces support for target writers to supply custom
constraints for their targets by overriding a TargetSubtargetInfo method:
std::unique_ptr<PBQPRAConstraints> getCustomPBQPConstraints() const;
This patch should have no effect on allocations.

Patched by Sergey Dmitrouk.
This pass tries to make consecutive compares of values use same operands to
allow CSE pass to remove duplicated instructions. For this it analyzes
branches and adjusts comparisons with immediate values by converting:
GE -> GT
GT -> GE
LT -> LE
LE -> LT
and adjusting immediate values appropriately. It basically corrects two
immediate values towards each other to make them equal.

For best-case performance on Cortex-A57, we should try to use a balanced mix of odd and even D-registers when performing a critical sequence of independent, non-quadword FP/ASIMD floating-point multiply or multiply-accumulate operations.
This pass attempts to detect situations where the register allocation may adversely affect this load balancing and to change the registers used so as to better utilize the CPU.
Ideally we'd just take each multiply or multiply-accumulate in turn and allocate it alternating even or odd registers. However, multiply-accumulates are most efficiently performed in the same functional unit as their accumulation operand. Therefore this pass tries to find maximal sequences ("Chains") of multiply-accumulates linked via their accumulation operand, and assign them all the same "color" (oddness/evenness).
This optimization affects S-register and D-register floating point multiplies and FMADD/FMAs, as well as vector (floating point only) muls and FMADD/FMA. Q register instructions (and 128-bit vector instructions) are not affected.

sequence - AArch64 target support
This patch turns off madd/msub generation in the DAGCombiner and generates
them in the MachineCombiner instead. It replaces the original code sequence
with the combined sequence when it is beneficial to do so.
When there is no machine model support it always generates the madd/msub
instruction. This is true also when the objective is to optimize for code
size: when the combined sequence is shorter is always chosen and does not
get evaluated.
When there is a machine model the combined instruction sequence
is evaluated for critical path and resource length using machine
trace metrics and the original code sequence is replaced when it is
determined to be faster.
