As noted in the code comment, transforming this in the other direction might require
a separate transform here in CGP given the block-at-a-time DAG constraint.
Besides that theoretical motivation, there are 2 practical motivations for the
subtract-of-cmps form:
1. The codegen for both x86 and PPC is better for this IR (though PPC could be better still).
There is discussion about canonicalizing IR to the select form
( http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-July/114885.html ),
so we probably need to add DAG transforms for those patterns anyway, but this improves the
memcmp output without waiting for that step.
2. If we allow vector-sized chunks for the load and compare, x86 is better prepared to convert
that to optimal code when using subtract-of-cmps, so another prerequisite patch is avoided
if we choose to enable that.

This avoids excessive compile time. The case I'm looking at is
Function.cpp from an old version of LLVM that still had the giant memcmp
string matcher in it. Before r308322 this compiled in about 2 minutes,
after it, clang takes infinite* time to compile it. With this patch
we're at 5 min, which is still bad but this is a pathological case.
The cut off at 20 uses was chosen by looking at other cut-offs in LLVM
for user scanning. It's probably too high, but does the job and is very
unlikely to regress anything.

The only use of this vector is to check that all instructions are in the same

so if we traversed through phi node then we do not need to keep information

As noted in D34071, there are some IR optimization opportunities that could be
handled by normal IR passes if this expansion wasn't happening so late in CGP.
Regardless of that, it seems wasteful to knowingly produce suboptimal IR here,
so I'm proposing this change:
%s = sub i32 %x, %y
%r = icmp ne %s, 0
=>
%r = icmp ne %x, %y
Changing the predicate to 'eq' mimics what InstCombine would do, so that's just
an efficiency improvement if we decide this expansion should happen sooner.

Summary:
At present, `-profile-guided-section-prefix` is a `cl::Optional` option, which means it demands to be passed exactly zero or one times. Our build system makes it pretty tricky to guarantee this. We often accidentally pass the flag more than once (but always with the same "false" value) which results in an error, after which compilation fails:
```
clang (LLVM option parsing): for the -profile-guided-section-prefix option: may only occur zero or one times!
```
While we work on improving our build system, it also seems reasonable just to allow `-profile-guided-section-prefix` to be passed more than once, by to `cl::ZeroOrMore`. Quoting [[ http://llvm.org/docs/CommandLine.html#controlling-the-number-of-occurrences-required-and-allowed | the documentation ]]:

The test diff for PowerPC shows we can better optimize if this case is one block.
For x86, there's would be a substantial difference if CGP expansion was enabled because branches are assumed
cheap and SDAG can't optimize across blocks.
Instead of this:
_cmp_eq8:
movq (%rdi), %rax
cmpq (%rsi), %rax
je LBB23_1
## BB#2: ## %res_block
movl $1, %ecx
jmp LBB23_3
LBB23_1:
xorl %ecx, %ecx
LBB23_3: ## %endblock
xorl %eax, %eax
testl %ecx, %ecx
sete %al
retq
We get this:
cmp_eq8:
movq (%rdi), %rcx
xorl %eax, %eax
cmpq (%rsi), %rcx
sete %al
retq
And that matches the optimal codegen that we get from the current expansion in SelectionDAGBuilder::visitMemCmpCall().
If this looks right, then I just need to confirm that vector-sized expansion will work from here, and we can enable
CGP memcmp() expansion for x86. Ie, we'll bypass the power-of-2 special cases currently optimized in SDAG because we
can lower the IR produced here optimally.

I'm not sure if we'll actually be able to produce the optimal code given the block-at-a-time

This change makes it invalid to directly delete a Value, User, or
Instruction pointer. Instead, such code can be rewritten to a null check
and a call Value::deleteValue(). Value objects tend to have their
lifetimes managed through iplist, so for the most part, this isn't a big
deal. However, there are some places where LLVM deletes values, and
those places had to be migrated to deleteValue. I have also created
llvm::unique_value, which has a custom deleter, so it can be used in
place of std::unique_ptr<Value>.
I had to add the "DerivedUser" Deleter escape hatch for MemorySSA, which
derives from User outside of lib/IR. Code in IR cannot include MemorySSA
headers or call the MemoryAccess object destructors without introducing
a circular dependency, so we need some level of indirection.
Unfortunately, no class derived from User may have any virtual methods,
because adding a virtual method would break User::getHungOffOperands(),
which assumes that it can find the use list immediately prior to the
User object. I've added a static_assert to the appropriate OperandTraits
templates to help people avoid this trap.

Summary:
Rework the code that was sinking/duplicating (icmp and, 0) sequences
into blocks where they were being used by conditional branches to form
more tbz instructions on AArch64. The new code is more general in that
it just looks for 'and's that have all icmp 0's as users, with a target
hook used to select which subset of 'and' instructions to consider.
This change also enables 'and' sinking for X86, where it is more widely
beneficial than on AArch64.
The 'and' sinking/duplicating code is moved into the optimizeInst phase
of CodeGenPrepare, where it can take advantage of the fact the
OptimizeCmpExpression has already sunk/duplicated any icmps into the
blocks where they are used. One minor complication from this change is
that optimizeLoadExt needed to be updated to always mark 'and's it has
determined should be in the same block as their feeding load in the
InsertedInsts set to avoid an infinite loop of hoisting and sinking the
same 'and'.
This change fixes a regression on X86 in the tsan runtime caused by
moving GVNHoist to a later place in the optimization pipeline (see

Summary: Merging an empty case block into the header block of switch could cause
ISel to add COPY instructions in the header of switch, instead of the case
block, if the case block is used as an incoming block of a PHI. This could
potentially increase dynamic instructions, especially when the switch is in a
loop. I added a test case which was reduced from the benchmark I was targetting.

of which that is hidden inside a separate function call) and helpfully
before building expensive transaction infrastructure. This will avoid
crashing when running CGP in a generic mode if we ever managed to hit
this case.
Note that I spent some time looking at alternatives. CGP is actually
used without a TM or TLI in order to do some target-independent testing.
Further, all of the neighboring optimization techniques actually have
some paths that are effective even in the absence of TLI so this seemed
the correct scope at which to check and bypass logic. It still isn't
clear that long-term support for missing TM/TLI is the right
cost/benefit tradeoff for CGP -- we seem to get relatively little for it
and the code is just littered with checks (and assumptions which
I suspect are still missing some checks).
This at least fixes the potential bug in this code spotted by
PVS-Studio, so we've got that going for us. ;]

CodeGenPrepare knows how to move a zext of a load into the same basic block
where the load lives. The goal is to help ISel match a zero-extending load
instead of two separated instructions.
CGP attempts to move a zext computation even if it lives in a basic block that
does not post-dominate the load's basic block. That means, the hoisted zext may
be speculated. Preserving the zext location would hurt the debugging experience
and the quality of sample pgo.
With this patch, when moving a zext near to its associated load, CGP no longer
propagates the zext's debug location. Instead, CGP conservatively reuses the
same debug location for the load and the zext.
An alternative approach would be to assign an artificial line-0 location to the
zext. However we don't want to over-use the 'line-0' for this particular case
because it would have a size cost in the line-table section for no additional
benefit.

CGP tail-duplicates rets into blocks that end with a call that feed the ret.
This puts the call in tail position, potentially allowing the DAG builder to
lower it as a tail call. To avoid tail duplication in cases where we won't
form the tail call, CGP tried to predict whether this is going to be possible,
and avoids doing it when lowering as a tail call will definitely fail.
However, it was being too conservative by always throwing away calls to
functions with a signext/zeroext attribute on the return type.
Instead, we can use the same logic the builder uses to determine whether the
attributes work out.

CGP should undo the SimplifyCFG transform for the same reason that earlier patches have used this
same mechanism: it's possible that passes between SimplifyCFG and CGP may be able to optimize the
IR further with a select in place.
For the TLI hook default, >99% taken or not taken is chosen as the default threshold for a highly
predictable branch. Even the most limited HW branch predictors will be correct on this branch almost
all the time, so even a massive mispredict penalty perf loss would be overcome by the win from all
the times the branch was predicted correctly.
As a follow-up, we could make the default target hook less conservative by using the SchedMachineModel's
MispredictPenalty. Or we could just let targets override the default by implementing the hook with that
and other target-specific options. Note that trying to statically determine mispredict rates for
close-to-balanced profile weight data is generally impossible if the HW is sufficiently advanced. Ie,
50/50 taken/not-taken might still be 100% predictable.
Finally, note that this patch as-is will not solve PR27344 because the current __builtin_unpredictable()
branch weight default values are 4 and 64. A proposal to change that is in D19435.

Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D19172
llvm-svn: 267231
This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.
The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit). Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit. A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.
The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check. Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute. A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

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.

Sinking comparisons in CGP can undo the job of hoisting them done
earlier by LICM, and soft-FP makes this an expensive mistake.
A common pattern that produces floating point comparisons uniform
over a loop is an explicit check for division by zero. If the divisor
is hoisted out of the loop, the comparison can also be, but hoisting
the function that unwinds is never legal, since it may cause side
effects in the loop body prior to the unwinding to not be executed.

This patch teaches CGP to duplicate addressing mode computations into cold paths (detected via explicit cold attribute on calls) if required to let addressing mode be safely sunk into the basic block containing each load and store.
In general, duplicating code into cold blocks may result in code growth, but should not effect performance. In this case, it's better to duplicate some code than to put extra pressure on the register allocator by making it keep the address through the entirely of the fast path.
This patch only handles addressing computations, but in principal, we could implement a more general cold cold scheduling heuristic which tries to reduce register pressure in the fast path by duplicating code into the cold path. Getting the profitability of the general case right seemed likely to be challenging, so I stuck to the existing case (addressing computation) we already had.

Stop using `getNodePtrUnchecked()` when building IR. Eventually a
dereference will be required to get at the downcast node, since the
iterator will only store an `ilist_node_base` of some sort.
This should have no functionality change for now, but is a path towards
removing some more UB from ilist.
llvm-svn: 261495
`ilist_iterator<NodeTy>::getNodePtrUnchecked()` is documented as being
for internal use only, but CodeGenPrepare was using it anyway. This
code relies on pulling out the `Value*` pointer even after the lifetime
of the iterator is over. But having this pointer available in
ilist_iterator depends on UB in the first place.
Instead, safely pull out the `Value*` when the iterator is alive and
stop using the internal-only API.
There should be no functionality change here.

There are several requirements that ended up with this design;
1. Matching bitreversals is too heavyweight for InstCombine and doesn't really need to be done so early.
2. Bitreversals and byteswaps are very related in their matching logic.
3. We want to implement support for matching more advanced bswap/bitreverse patterns like partial bswaps/bitreverses.
4. Bswaps are best matched early in InstCombine.
The result of these is that a new utility function is created in Transforms/Utils/Local.h that can be configured to search for bswaps, bitreverses or both. InstCombine uses it to find only bswaps, CGP uses it to find only bitreversals.
We can then extend the matching logic in one place only.

This is another step towards allowing SimplifyCFG to speculate harder, but then have
CGP clean things up if the target doesn't like it.
Previous patches in this series:
http://reviews.llvm.org/D12882http://reviews.llvm.org/D13297
D13297 should catch most expensive ops, but speculation of cttz/ctlz requires special
handling because of weirdness in the intrinsic definition for handling a zero input
(that definition can probably be blamed on x86).
For example, if we have the usual speculated-by-select expensive op pattern like this:
%tobool = icmp eq i64 %A, 0
%0 = tail call i64 @llvm.cttz.i64(i64 %A, i1 true) ; is_zero_undef == true
%cond = select i1 %tobool, i64 64, i64 %0
ret i64 %cond
There's an instcombine that will turn it into:
%0 = tail call i64 @llvm.cttz.i64(i64 %A, i1 false) ; is_zero_undef == false
This CGP patch is looking for that case and despeculating it back into:
entry:
%tobool = icmp eq i64 %A, 0
br i1 %tobool, label %cond.end, label %cond.true
cond.true:
%0 = tail call i64 @llvm.cttz.i64(i64 %A, i1 true) ; is_zero_undef == true
br label %cond.end
cond.end:
%cond = phi i64 [ %0, %cond.true ], [ 64, %entry ]
ret i64 %cond
This unfortunately may lead to poorer codegen (see the changes in the existing x86 test),
but if we increase speculation in SimplifyCFG (the next step in this patch series), then
we should avoid those kinds of cases in the first place.

Note, this was reviewed (and more details are in) http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html
These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)
For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)
and similarly for memmove and memcpy.
I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.
A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.
In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.
Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

This was originally checked in at r250527, but reverted at r250570 because of PR25222.
There were at least 2 problems:
1. The cost check was checking for an instruction with an exact cost of TCC_Expensive;
that should have been >=.
2. The cause of the clang stage 1 failures was illegally sinking 'call' instructions;
we can't sink instructions that may have side effects / are not safe to execute speculatively.
Fixed those conditions in sinkSelectOperand() and added test cases.
Original commit message:
This is a follow-up to the discussion in D12882.
Ideally, we would like SimplifyCFG to be able to form select instructions even when the operands
are expensive (as defined by the TTI cost model) because that may expose further optimizations.
However, we would then like a later pass like CodeGenPrepare to undo that transformation if the
target would likely benefit from not speculatively executing an expensive op (this patch).
Once we have this safety mechanism in place, we can adjust SimplifyCFG to restore its
select-formation behavior that changed with r248439.

are expensive (as defined by the TTI cost model) because that may expose further optimizations.
However, we would then like a later pass like CodeGenPrepare to undo that transformation if the
target would likely benefit from not speculatively executing an expensive op (this patch).
Once we have this safety mechanism in place, we can adjust SimplifyCFG to restore its
select-formation behavior that changed with r248439.
