Other than recognizing the attribute, the patch does little else.
It changes the branch probability analyzer so that edges into
blocks postdominated by a cold function are given low weight.
Added analysis and code generation tests. Added documentation for the
new attribute.

Rather than just splitting the input type and hoping for the best, apply
a bit more cleverness. Just splitting the types until the source is
legal often leads to an illegal result time, which is then widened and a
scalarization step is introduced which leads to truly horrible code
generation. With the loop vectorizer, these sorts of operations are much
more common, and so it's worth extra effort to do them well.
Add a legalization hook for the operands of a TRUNCATE node, which will
be encountered after the result type has been legalized, but if the
operand type is still illegal. If simple splitting of both types
ends up with the result type of each half still being legal, just
do that (v16i16 -> v16i8 on ARM, for example). If, however, that would
result in an illegal result type (v8i32 -> v8i8 on ARM, for example),
we can get more clever with power-two vectors. Specifically,
split the input type, but also widen the result element size, then
concatenate the halves and truncate again. For example on ARM,
To perform a "%res = v8i8 trunc v8i32 %in" we transform to:
%inlo = v4i32 extract_subvector %in, 0
%inhi = v4i32 extract_subvector %in, 4
%lo16 = v4i16 trunc v4i32 %inlo
%hi16 = v4i16 trunc v4i32 %inhi
%in16 = v8i16 concat_vectors v4i16 %lo16, v4i16 %hi16
%res = v8i8 trunc v8i16 %in16
This allows instruction selection to generate three VMOVN instructions
instead of a sequences of moves, stores and loads.
Update the ARMTargetTransformInfo to take this improved legalization
into account.
Consider the simplified IR:
define <16 x i8> @test1(<16 x i32>* %ap) {
%a = load <16 x i32>* %ap
%tmp = trunc <16 x i32> %a to <16 x i8>
ret <16 x i8> %tmp
}
define <8 x i8> @test2(<8 x i32>* %ap) {
%a = load <8 x i32>* %ap
%tmp = trunc <8 x i32> %a to <8 x i8>
ret <8 x i8> %tmp
}
Previously, we would generate the truly hideous:

The costs are overfitted so that I can still use the legalization factor.
For example the following kernel has about half the throughput vectorized than
unvectorized when compiled with SSE2. Before this patch we would vectorize it.
unsigned short A[1024];
double B[1024];
void f() {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1024; ++i) {
B[i] = (double) A[i];

The code in getTypeConversion attempts to promote the element vector type
before it trys to split or widen the vector.
After it failed finding a legal vector type by promoting it would continue using
the promoted vector element type. Thereby missing legal splitted vector types.
For example the type v32i32 that has a legal split of 4 x v3i32 on x86/sse2
would be transformed to: v32i256 and from there on successively split to:
v16i256, v8i256, v1i256 and then finally ends up as an i64 type.
By resetting the vector element type to the original vector element type that
existed before the promotion the code will attempt to split the vector type to
smaller vector widths of the same type.
llvm-svn: 178999
SSE2 has efficient support for shifts by a scalar. My previous change of making
shifts expensive did not take this into account marking all shifts as expensive.
This would prevent vectorization from happening where it is actually beneficial.
With this change we differentiate between shifts of constants and other shifts.
radar://13576547
llvm-svn: 178808
The default logic does not correctly identify costs of casts because they are
marked as custom on x86.
For some cases, where the shift amount is a scalar we would be able to generate
better code. Unfortunately, when this is the case the value (the splat) will get
hoisted out of the loop, thereby making it invisible to ISel.

The ARM backend currently has poor codegen for long sext/zext
operations, such as v8i8 -> v8i32. This patch addresses this

The default logic marks them as too expensive.
For example, before this patch we estimated:
cost of 16 for instruction: %r = uitofp <4 x i16> %v0 to <4 x float>
While this translates to:
vmovl.u16 q8, d16
vcvt.f32.u32 q8, q8
All other costs are left to the values assigned by the fallback logic. Theses
costs are mostly reasonable in the sense that they get progressively more
expensive as the instruction sequences emitted get longer.

Fix cost of some "cheap" cast instructions. Before this patch we used to

vmovn.i32 d16, q8
vuzp.8 d16, d17

I was too pessimistic in r177105. Vector selects that fit into a legal register
type lower just fine. I was mislead by the code fragment that I was using. The
stores/loads that I saw in those cases came from lowering the conditional off
an address.
Changing the code fragment to:
%T0_3 = type <8 x i18>
%T1_3 = type <8 x i1>
define void @func_blend3(%T0_3* %loadaddr, %T0_3* %loadaddr2,
%T1_3* %blend, %T0_3* %storeaddr) {
%v0 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr
%v1 = load %T0_3* %loadaddr2
==> FROM:
;%c = load %T1_3* %blend
==> TO:
%c = icmp slt %T0_3 %v0, %v1
==> USE:
%r = select %T1_3 %c, %T0_3 %v0, %T0_3 %v1
store %T0_3 %r, %T0_3* %storeaddr
ret void
}
revealed this mistake.

Summary:
Statistics are still available in Release+Asserts (any +Asserts builds),
and stats can also be turned on with LLVM_ENABLE_STATS.
Move some of the FastISel stats that were moved under DEBUG()
back out of DEBUG(), since stats are disabled across the board now.
Many tests depend on grepping "-stats" output. Move those into
a orig_dir/Stats/. so that they can be marked as unsupported
when building without statistics.

This matters for example in following matrix multiply:
int **mmult(int rows, int cols, int **m1, int **m2, int **m3) {
int i, j, k, val;
for (i=0; i<rows; i++) {
for (j=0; j<cols; j++) {
val = 0;
for (k=0; k<cols; k++) {
val += m1[i][k] * m2[k][j];
}
m3[i][j] = val;
}
}
return(m3);
}
Taken from the test-suite benchmark Shootout.
We estimate the cost of the multiply to be 2 while we generate 9 instructions
for it and end up being quite a bit slower than the scalar version (48% on my
machine).
Also, properly differentiate between avx1 and avx2. On avx-1 we still split the
vector into 2 128bits and handle the subvector muls like above with 9
instructions.
Only on avx-2 will we have a cost of 9 for v4i64.
I changed the test case in test/Transforms/LoopVectorize/X86/avx1.ll to use an
add instead of a mul because with a mul we now no longer vectorize. I did
verify that the mul would be indeed more expensive when vectorized with 3
kernels:
for (i ...)
r += a[i] * 3;
for (i ...)
m1[i] = m1[i] * 3; // This matches the test case in avx1.ll
and a matrix multiply.
In each case the vectorized version was considerably slower.

We make the cost for calling libm functions extremely high as emitting the

The sext_in_reg (v4i32 x) may be lowered to shl+sar operations.
The "sar" does not exist on 64-bit operation, so lowering sext_in_reg (v4i64 x) has no vector solution.

Profiling tests *do* need a JIT. They'll pass if a cross-compiler targetting

Adds a function to target transform info to query for the cost of address
computation. The cost model analysis pass now also queries this interface.
The code in LoopVectorize adds the cost of address computation as part of the

will be scalarized or not.
Increase the penality for inserting in to D registers on swift. This becomes
necessary because we now always assume that address computation has a cost and

This is a partial solution to PR14351. It removes some of the special
significance of the first incoming phi value in the phi aliasing checking logic
in BasicAA. In the context of a loop, the old logic assumes that the first
incoming value is the interesting one (meaning that it is the one that comes
from outside the loop), but this is often not the case. With this change, we
now test first the incoming value that comes from a block other than the parent
of the phi being tested.

Patch from Preston Briggs <preston.briggs@gmail.com>.
This is an updated version of the dependence-analysis patch, including an MIV
test based on Banerjee's inequalities.
It's a fairly complete implementation of the paper
Practical Dependence Testing
Gina Goff, Ken Kennedy, and Chau-Wen Tseng
PLDI 1991
It cannot yet propagate constraints between coupled RDIV subscripts (discussed
in Section 5.3.2 of the paper).
It's organized as a FunctionPass with a single entry point that supports testing
for dependence between two instructions in a function. If there's no dependence,
it returns null. If there's a dependence, it returns a pointer to a Dependence
which can be queried about details (what kind of dependence, is it loop
independent, direction and distance vector entries, etc). I haven't included
every imaginable feature, but there's a good selection that should be adequate
for supporting many loop transformations. Of course, it can be extended as
necessary.
Included in the patch file are many test cases, commented with C code showing
the loops and array references.

Enhances basic alias analysis to recognize phis whose first incoming values are
NoAlias and whose other incoming values are just the phi node itself through
some amount of recursion.
Example: With this change basicaa reports that ptr_phi and ptr_phi2 do not alias
each other.
bb:
ptr = ptr2 + 1
loop:
ptr_phi = phi [bb, ptr], [loop, ptr_plus_one]
ptr2_phi = phi [bb, ptr2], [loop, ptr2_plus_one]
...
ptr_plus_one = gep ptr_phi, 1
ptr2_plus_one = gep ptr2_phi, 1
This enables the elimination of one load in code like the following:
extern int foo;
int test_noalias(int *ptr, int num, int* coeff) {
int *ptr2 = ptr;
int result = (*ptr++) * (*coeff--);
while (num--) {
*ptr2++ = *ptr;
result += (*coeff--) * (*ptr++);
}
*ptr = foo;
return result;

result regardless of iteration order. The new implementation builds up a graph
of how arguments are passed from function to function, and uses a bottom-up walk
on the argument-SCCs to assign nocapture. This gets us nocapture more often, and
does so rather efficiently and independent of iteration order.

probability wouldn't be considered "hot" in some weird loop structures
or other compounding probability patterns. This makes it much harder to
confuse, but isn't really a principled fix. I'd actually like it if we
could model a zero probability, as it would make this much easier to
reason about. Suggestions for how to do this better are welcome.

I followed three heuristics for deciding whether to set 'true' or
'false':
- Everything target independent got 'true' as that is the expected
common output of the GCC builtins.
- If the target arch only has one way of implementing this operation,
set the flag in the way that exercises the most of codegen. For most
architectures this is also the likely path from a GCC builtin, with
'true' being set. It will (eventually) require lowering away that
difference, and then lowering to the architecture's operation.
- Otherwise, set the flag differently dependending on which target
operation should be tested.
Let me know if anyone has any issue with this pattern or would like
specific tests of another form. This should allow the x86 codegen to
just iteratively improve as I teach the backend how to differentiate
between the two forms, and everything else should remain exactly the
same.

- Reapply r142781 with fix. Original message:
Enhance SCEV's brute force loop analysis to handle multiple PHI nodes in the
loop header when computing the trip count.
With this, we now constant evaluate:
struct ListNode { const struct ListNode *next; int i; };
static const struct ListNode node1 = {0, 1};
static const struct ListNode node2 = {&node1, 2};
static const struct ListNode node3 = {&node2, 3};
int test() {
int sum = 0;
for (const struct ListNode *n = &node3; n != 0; n = n->next)
sum += n->i;
return sum;
}
- Now that we look at all the header PHIs, we need to consider all the header PHIs
when deciding that the loop has stopped evolving. Fixes miscompile in the gcc
torture testsuite!

classifying many edges as exiting which were in fact not. These mainly
formed edges into sub-loops. It was also not correctly classifying all
returning edges out of loops as leaving the loop. With this match most
of the loop heuristics are more rational.
Several serious regressions on loop-intesive benchmarks like perlbench's
loop tests when built with -enable-block-placement are fixed by these
updated heuristics. Unfortunately they in turn uncover some other
regressions. There are still several improvemenst that should be made to
loop heuristics including trip-count, and early back-edge management.

introduce no-return or unreachable heuristics.
The return heuristics from the Ball and Larus paper don't work well in
practice as they pessimize early return paths. The only good hitrate
return heuristics are those for:
- NULL return
- Constant return
- negative integer return
Only the last of these three can possibly require significant code for
the returning block, and even the last is fairly rare and usually also
a constant. As a consequence, even for the cold return paths, there is
little code on that return path, and so little code density to be gained
by sinking it. The places where sinking these blocks is valuable (inner
loops) will already be weighted appropriately as the edge is a loop-exit
branch.
All of this aside, early returns are nearly as common as all three of
these return categories, and should actually be predicted as taken!
Rather than muddy the waters of the static predictions, just remain
silent on returns and let the CFG itself dictate any layout or other
issues.
However, the return heuristic was flagging one very important case:
unreachable. Unfortunately it still gave a 1/4 chance of the
branch-to-unreachable occuring. It also didn't do a rigorous job of
finding those blocks which post-dominate an unreachable block.
This patch builds a more powerful analysis that should flag all branches
to blocks known to then reach unreachable. It also has better worst-case
runtime complexity by not looping through successors for each block. The
previous code would perform an N^2 walk in the event of a single entry
block branching to N successors with a switch where each successor falls
through to the next and they finally fall through to a return.
Test case added for noreturn heuristics. Also doxygen comments improved
along the way.

to bring it under direct test instead of merely indirectly testing it in
the BlockFrequencyInfo pass.
The next step is to start adding tests for the various heuristics
employed, and to start fixing those heuristics once they're under test.

able to constant fold load instructions where the argument is a constant.
Second, we should be able to watch multiple PHI nodes through the loop; this
patch only supports PHIs in loop headers, more can be done here.
With this patch, we now constant evaluate:
static const int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int test() {
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) sum += arr[i];
return sum;
}

and switches, with arbitrary numbers of successors. Still optimized for
the common case of 2 successors for a conditional branch.
Add a test case for switch metadata showing up in the BlockFrequencyInfo pass.

encoding of probabilities. In the absense of metadata, it continues to
fall back on static heuristics.
This allows __builtin_expect, after lowering through llvm.expect
a branch instruction's metadata, to actually enter the branch
probability model. This is one component of resolving PR2577.

layer already had support for printing the results of this analysis, but
the wiring was missing.
Now that printing the analysis works, actually bring some of this
analysis, and the BranchProbabilityInfo analysis that it wraps, under
test! I'm planning on fixing some bugs and doing other work here, so
having a nice place to add regression tests and a way to observe the
results is really useful.
