return it as a clobber. This allows GVN to do smart things.
Enhance GVN to be smart about the case when a small load is clobbered
by a larger overlapping load. In this case, forward the value. This
allows us to compile stuff like this:
int test(void *P) {
int tmp = *(unsigned int*)P;
return tmp+*((unsigned char*)P+1);
}
into:
_test: ## @test
movl (%rdi), %ecx
movzbl %ch, %eax
addl %ecx, %eax
ret
which has one load. We already handled the case where the smaller
load was from a must-aliased base pointer.

I still think that LVI should be handling this, but that capability is some ways off in the future,
and this matters for some significant benchmarks.
llvm-svn: 122378
this was a tree of hashtables, and a query recursed into the table for the immediate dominator ad infinitum
if the initial lookup failed. This led to really bad performance on tall, narrow CFGs.
We can instead replace it with what is conceptually a multimap of value numbers to leaders (actually
represented by a hashtable with a list of Value*'s as the value type), and then
determine which leader from that set to use very cheaply thanks to the DFS numberings maintained by
DominatorTree. Because there are typically few duplicates of a given value, this scan tends to be
quite fast. Additionally, we use a custom linked list and BumpPtr allocation to avoid any unnecessary
allocation in representing the value-side of the multimap.
This change brings with it a 15% (!) improvement in the total running time of GVN on 403.gcc, which I
think is pretty good considering that includes all the "real work" being done by MemDep as well.
The one downside to this approach is that we can no longer use GVN to perform simple conditional progation,
but that seems like an acceptable loss since we now have LVI and CorrelatedValuePropagation to pick up
the slack. If you see conditional propagation that's not happening, please file bugs against LVI or CVP.
llvm-svn: 119714
offload the work to hasConstantValue rather than do something more
complicated (such handling mutually recursive phis) because (1) it is
not clear it is worth it; and (2) if it is worth it, maybe such logic
would be better placed in hasConstantValue. Adjust some GVN tests
which are now cleaned up much further (eg: all phi nodes are removed).
llvm-svn: 119043
references. For example, this allows gvn to eliminate the load in
this example:
void foo(int n, int* p, int *q) {
p[0] = 0;
p[1] = 1;
if (n) {
*q = p[0];
}
}

Anyone interested in more general PRE would be better served by implementing it separately, to get real
anticipation calculation, etc.
llvm-svn: 115337
Splitting critical edges at the merge point only addressed part of the issue; it is also possible for non-post-domination
to occur when the path from the load to the merge has branches in it. Unfortunately, full anticipation analysis is
time-consuming, so for now approximate it. This is strictly more conservative than real anticipation, so we will miss
some cases that real PRE would allow, but we also no longer insert loads into paths where they didn't exist before. :-)
This is a very slight net positive on SPEC for me (0.5% on average). Most of the benchmarks are largely unaffected, but
when it pays off it pays off decently: 181.mcf improves by 4.5% on my machine.
llvm-svn: 114785
to determine where to place PHIs by iteratively comparing reaching definitions
at each block. That was just plain wrong. This version now computes the
dominator tree within the subset of the CFG where PHIs may need to be placed,
and then places the PHIs in the iterated dominance frontier of each definition.
The rest of the patch is mostly the same, with a few more performance
improvements added in.

later with fixes.

add, there is no need to scan the world to find the same add again.
This invalidates the previous testcase, which wasn't wonderful anyway,
because it needed a run of instcombine to permute the use-lists in
just the right way to before GVN was run (so it was really fragile).
Not a big loss.

phi translation of complex expressions like &A[i+1]. This has the
following benefits:
1. The phi translation logic is all contained in its own class with
a strong interface and verification that it is self consistent.
2. The logic is more correct than before. Previously, if intermediate
expressions got PHI translated, we'd miss the update and scan for
the wrong pointers in predecessor blocks. @phi_trans2 is a testcase
for this.
3. We have a lot less code in memdep.
We can handle phi translation across blocks of things like @phi_trans3,
which is pretty insane :).
This patch should fix the miscompiles of 255.vortex, and I tested it
with a bootstrap of llvm-gcc, llvm-test and dejagnu of course.

translation of add with immediate. This allows us
to optimize this function:
void test(int N, double* G) {
long j;
G[1] = 1;

G[j+1] = G[j] + G[j+1];

if it is not ultimately captured. Teach BasicAliasAnalysis that a

not alias with a value resulting from a load.

from GVN, this also speeds it up, inserts fewer PHI nodes (see the
testcase) and allows it to remove more loads (due to fewer PHI nodes
standing in the way).

from a piece of a large store when both are in the same block.
This allows clang to compile the testcase in PR4216 to this code:

movl %eax, %ecx
andl $-65536, %ecx
orl $32962, %eax
andl $40186, %eax
orl %ecx, %eax
ret
This is not ideal, but is a whole lot better than the code produced
by llvm-gcc:
_test_bitfield:
movw $-32574, %ax
orw 4(%esp), %ax
andw $-25350, %ax
movw %ax, 4(%esp)
movw 7(%esp), %cx

movzbl 6(%esp), %edx
orw %cx, %dx
movzwl %dx, %ecx
shll $16, %ecx
movzwl %ax, %eax
orl %ecx, %eax
ret
and dramatically better than that produced by gcc 4.2:
_test_bitfield:
pushl %ebx

L3:
popl %ebx
movl 8(%esp), %eax

so that all code paths get it. PR4256 was about a case where the
phi translation loop would find all preds in the Visited cache, so
it could get by without re-sorting the NonLocalPointerDeps cache.
Fix this by resorting it earlier, there is no reason not to do this.
This patch inspired by Jakub Staszak's patch.

move loads back past a check that the load address
is valid, see new testcase. The test that went
in with 72661 has exactly this case, except that
the conditional it's moving past is checking
something else; I've settled for changing that
test to reference a global, not a pointer. It
may be possible to scan all the tests you pass and
make sure none of them are checking any component
of the address, but it's not trivial and I'm not
trying to do that here.

cleans up the generated code a bit. This should have the added benefit of

llvm-svn: 61023
memdep keeps track of how PHIs affect the pointer in dep queries, which
allows it to eliminate the load in cases like rle-phi-translate.ll, which
basically end up being:
BB1:
X = load P
br BB3
BB2:
Y = load Q
br BB3
BB3:
R = phi [P] [Q]
load R
turning "load R" into a phi of X/Y. In addition to additional exposed
opportunities, this makes memdep safe in many cases that it wasn't before
(which is required for load PRE) and also makes it substantially more
efficient. For example, consider:
bb1: // has many predecessors.
P = some_operator()
load P
In this example, previously memdep would scan all the predecessors of BB1
to see if they had something that would mustalias P. In some cases (e.g.
test/Transforms/GVN/rle-must-alias.ll) it would actually find them and end
up eliminating something. In many other cases though, it would scan and not
find anything useful. MemDep now stops at a block if the pointer is defined
in that block and cannot be phi translated to predecessors. This causes it
to miss the (rare) cases like rle-must-alias.ll, but makes it faster by not
scanning tons of stuff that is unlikely to be useful. For example, this
speeds up GVN as a whole from 3.928s to 2.448s (60%)!. IMO, scalar GVN
should be enhanced to simplify the rle-must-alias pointer base anyway, which
would allow the loads to be eliminated.
In the future, this should be enhanced to phi translate through geps and
bitcasts as well (as indicated by FIXMEs) making memdep even more powerful.

tricks based on readnone/readonly functions.
Teach memdep to look past readonly calls when analyzing
deps for a readonly call. This allows elimination of a
few more calls from 403.gcc:
before:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
153986 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted
after:
63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd
153991 gvn - Number of instructions deleted
50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted
5 calls isn't much, but this adds plumbing for the next change.
llvm-svn: 60794
straight-forward implementation. This does not require any extra
alias analysis queries beyond what we already do for non-local loads.
Some programs really really like load PRE. For example, SPASS triggers
this ~1000 times, ~300 times in 255.vortex, and ~1500 times on 403.gcc.
The biggest limitation to the implementation is that it does not split
critical edges. This is a huge killer on many programs and should be
addressed after the initial patch is enabled by default.
The implementation of this should incidentally speed up rejection of
non-local loads because it avoids creating the repl densemap in cases
when it won't be used for fully redundant loads.
This is currently disabled by default.
Before I turn this on, I need to fix a couple of miscompilations in
the testsuite, look at compile time performance numbers, and look at
perf impact. This is pretty close to ready though.

another sret function, it should pass its own sret parameter to the tail callee, allowing it to fill in the correct
return value. llvm-gcc does not emit this by default. Instead, it allocates space in the caller for the sret of
the tail call and then uses memcpy to copy the result into the caller's sret parameter. This optimization detects
and optimizes that case.
