Summary:
The original heuristic to break critical edge during machine sink is relatively conservertive: when there is only one instruction sinkable to the critical edge, it is likely that the machine sink pass will not break the critical edge. This leads to many speculative instructions executed at runtime. However, with profile info, we could model the splitting benefits: if the critical edge has 50% taken rate, it would always be beneficial to split the critical edge to avoid the speculated runtime instructions. This patch uses profile to guide critical edge splitting in machine sink pass.

This is mostly a mechanical change to make TargetInstrInfo API take
MachineInstr& (instead of MachineInstr* or MachineBasicBlock::iterator)
when the argument is expected to be a valid MachineInstr. This is a
general API improvement.
Although it would be possible to do this one function at a time, that
would demand a quadratic amount of churn since many of these functions
call each other. Instead I've done everything as a block and just
updated what was necessary.
This is mostly mechanical fixes: adding and removing `*` and `&`
operators. The only non-mechanical change is to split
ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatencyImpl out from
ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatency. Previously, the latter took a
`MachineInstr*` which it updated to the instruction bundle leader; now,
the latter calls the former either with the same `MachineInstr&` or the
bundle leader.
As a side effect, this removes a bunch of MachineInstr* to
MachineBasicBlock::iterator implicit conversions, a necessary step
toward fixing PR26753.
Note: I updated WebAssembly, Lanai, and AVR (despite being
off-by-default) since it turned out to be easy. I couldn't run tests
for AVR since llc doesn't link with it turned on.

MachineBasicBlock::SplitCriticalEdges will crash if a nullptr would have

argument into a reference.
The alternative would have been to make the Pass a truly optional

like this would not be aware the livness information, dominator tree and

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.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.

This patch fixes a compilation time issue, when MachineSink faces PHIs
with a huge number of operands. This can happen for example in goto table
based interpreters, where some basic blocks can have several of those PHIs,
each one with several hundreds operands. MachineSink was spending a
significant time re-building and re-sorting the list of successors of
the current MachineBasicBlock. The computing and sorting of the current
MachineBasicBlock successors is now cached.
llvm-svn: 239720
Currently whenever we sink any instruction, we do clearKillFlags for
every use of every use operand for that instruction, apparently there
are a lot of duplication, therefore compile time penalties.
This patch collect all the interested registers first, do clearKillFlags
for it all together at once at the end, so we only need to do
clearKillFlags once for one register, duplication is avoided.

Summary:
Fixes a FIXME in MachineSinking. Instead of using the simple heuristics in
isPostDominatedBy, use the real MachinePostDominatorTree and MachineLoopInfo.
The old heuristics caused instructions to sink unnecessarily, and might create
register pressure.
This is the second try of the fix. The first one (D4814) caused a performance
regression due to failing to sink instructions out of loops (PR21115). This
patch fixes PR21115 by sinking an instruction from a deeper loop to a shallower
one regardless of whether the target block post-dominates the source.
Thanks Alexey Volkov for reporting PR21115!
Test Plan:
Added a NVPTX codegen test to verify that our change prevents the backend from
over-sinking. It also shows the unnecessary register pressure caused by
over-sinking.
Added an X86 test to verify we can sink instructions out of loops regardless of
the dominance relationship. This test is reduced from Alexey's test in PR21115.
Updated an affected test in X86.
Also ran SPEC CINT2006 and llvm-test-suite for compilation time and runtime
performance. Results are attached separately in the review thread.

When sinking an instruction it might be moved past the original last use of one
of its operands. This last use has the kill flag set and the verifier will
obviously complain about this.
Before Machine Sinking (AArch64):
%vreg3<def> = ASRVXr %vreg1, %vreg2<kill>
%XZR<def> = SUBSXrs %vreg4, %vreg1<kill>, 160, %NZCV<imp-def>
...
After Machine Sinking:
%XZR<def> = SUBSXrs %vreg4, %vreg1<kill>, 160, %NZCV<imp-def>
...
%vreg3<def> = ASRVXr %vreg1, %vreg2<kill>
This fix clears all the kill flags in all instruction that use the same operands
as the instruction that is being sunk.

as long as possible.
** Context **
Each time the dominance information is modified, the dominator tree analysis
switches in a slow query mode. After a few queries without any modification on
the dominator tree, it performs an expensive update of its internal structure to
provide fast queries again.
** Problem **
Prior to this patch, the MachineSink pass was splitting the critical edges on
demand while relying heavy on the dominator tree information. In some cases,
this leads to pathological behavior where:
- We end up in the slow query mode right after splitting an edge.
- We update the dominance information.
- We break the dominance information again, thus ending up in the slow query
mode and so on.
** Proposed Solution **
To mitigate this effect, this patch postpones all the splitting of the edges at
the end of each iteration of the main loop.
The benefits are:
- The dominance information is valid for the life time of an iteration.
- This simplifies the code as we do not have to special treat instructions that
are sunk on critical edges. Indeed, the related block will be available
through the next iteration.
The downside is that when edges splitting is required, this incurs an additional
iteration of the main loop compared to the previous scheme.
** Performance **
Thanks to this patch, the motivating example compiles in 6+ minutes instead of
10+ minutes. No test case added as the motivating example as nothing special but
being huge!
I have measured only noise for both the compile time and the runtime on the llvm
test-suite + SPECs with Os and O3.
Note: The current implementation of MachineBasicBlock::SplitCriticalEdge also
uses the dominance information and therefore, hits this problem. A subsequent
patch will address that.

Per original comment, the intention of this loop
is to go ahead and break the critical edge
(in order to sink this instruction) if there's
reason to believe doing so might "unblock" the
sinking of additional instructions that define
registers used by this one. The idea is that if
we have a few instructions to sink "together"
breaking the edge might be worthwhile.
This commit makes a few small changes
to help better realize this goal:
First, modify the loop to ignore registers
defined by this instruction. We don't
sink definitions of physical registers,
and sinking an SSA definition isn't
going to unblock an upstream instruction.
Second, ignore uses of physical registers.
Instructions that define physical registers are
rejected for sinking, and so moving this one
won't enable moving any defining instructions.
As an added bonus, while virtual register
use-def chains are generally small due
to SSA goodness, iteration over the uses
and definitions (used by hasOneNonDBGUse)
for physical registers like EFLAGS
can be rather expensive in practice.
(This is the original reason for looking at this)
Finally, to keep things simple continue
to only consider this trick for registers that
have a single use (via hasOneNonDBGUse),
but to avoid spuriously breaking critical edges
only do so if the definition resides
in the same MBB and therefore this one directly
blocks it from being sunk as well.
If sinking them together is meant to be,
let the iterative nature of this pass
sink the definition into this block first.
Update tests to accomodate this change,
add new testcase where sinking avoids pipeline stalls.
