This patch introduces a new pass that computes the safe point to insert the
prologue and epilogue of the function.
The interest is to find safe points that are cheaper than the entry and exits
blocks.
As an example and to avoid regressions to be introduce, this patch also
implements the required bits to enable the shrink-wrapping pass for AArch64.
** Context **
Currently we insert the prologue and epilogue of the method/function in the
entry and exits blocks. Although this is correct, we can do a better job when
those are not immediately required and insert them at less frequently executed
places.
The job of the shrink-wrapping pass is to identify such places.
** Motivating example **
Let us consider the following function that perform a call only in one branch of
a if:
define i32 @f(i32 %a, i32 %b) {
%tmp = alloca i32, align 4
%tmp2 = icmp slt i32 %a, %b
br i1 %tmp2, label %true, label %false
true:
store i32 %a, i32* %tmp, align 4
%tmp4 = call i32 @doSomething(i32 0, i32* %tmp)
br label %false
false:
%tmp.0 = phi i32 [ %tmp4, %true ], [ %a, %0 ]
ret i32 %tmp.0
}
On AArch64 this code generates (removing the cfi directives to ease
readabilities):
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stur w0, [x29, #-4]
sub x1, x29, #4 ; =4
mov w0, wzr
bl _doSomething
LBB0_2: ; %false
mov sp, x29
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
ret
With shrink-wrapping we could generate:
_f: ; @f
; BB#0:
cmp w0, w1
b.ge LBB0_2
; BB#1: ; %true
stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
mov x29, sp
sub sp, sp, #16 ; =16
stur w0, [x29, #-4]
sub x1, x29, #4 ; =4
mov w0, wzr
bl _doSomething
add sp, x29, #16 ; =16
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
LBB0_2: ; %false
ret
Therefore, we would pay the overhead of setting up/destroying the frame only if
we actually do the call.
** Proposed Solution **
This patch introduces a new machine pass that perform the shrink-wrapping
analysis (See the comments at the beginning of ShrinkWrap.cpp for more details).
It then stores the safe save and restore point into the MachineFrameInfo
attached to the MachineFunction.
This information is then used by the PrologEpilogInserter (PEI) to place the
related code at the right place. This pass runs right before the PEI.
Unlike the original paper of Chow from PLDI’88, this implementation of
shrink-wrapping does not use expensive data-flow analysis and does not need hack
to properly avoid frequently executed point. Instead, it relies on dominance and
loop properties.
The pass is off by default and each target can opt-in by setting the
EnableShrinkWrap boolean to true in their derived class of TargetPassConfig.
This setting can also be overwritten on the command line by using
-enable-shrink-wrap.
Before you try out the pass for your target, make sure you properly fix your
emitProlog/emitEpilog/adjustForXXX method to cope with basic blocks that are not
necessarily the entry block.
** Design Decisions **
1. ShrinkWrap is its own pass right now. It could frankly be merged into PEI but
for debugging and clarity I thought it was best to have its own file.
2. Right now, we only support one save point and one restore point. At some
point we can expand this to several save point and restore point, the impacted
component would then be:
- The pass itself: New algorithm needed.
- MachineFrameInfo: Hold a list or set of Save/Restore point instead of one
pointer.
- PEI: Should loop over the save point and restore point.
Anyhow, at least for this first iteration, I do not believe this is interesting
to support the complex cases. We should revisit that when we motivating
examples.

We can't use TargetFrameLowering::getFrameIndexOffset directly, because
Win64 really wants the offset from the stack pointer at the end of the
prologue. Instead, use X86FrameLowering::getFrameIndexOffsetFromSP(),
which is a pretty close approximiation of that. It fails to handle cases
with interestingly large stack alignments, which is pretty uncommon on
Win64 and is TODO.

As preparation for removing the getSubtargetImpl() call from
TargetMachine go ahead and flip the switch on caching the function
dependent subtarget and remove the bare getSubtargetImpl call
from the X86 port. As part of this add a few tests that show we
can generate code and assemble on X86 based on features/cpu on
the Function.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

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.

These intrinsics allow multiple functions to share a single stack
allocation from one function's call frame. The function with the
allocation may only perform one allocation, and it must be in the entry
block.
Functions accessing the allocation call llvm.recoverframeallocation with
the function whose frame they are accessing and a frame pointer from an
active call frame of that function.
These intrinsics are very difficult to inline correctly, so the
intention is that they be introduced rarely, or at least very late
during EH preparation.

We used to assume that any fixed-offset stack object was not aliased. This
meant that no IR value could point to the memory contained in such an object.
This is a reasonable default, but is not a universally-correct
target-independent fact. For example, on PowerPC (both Darwin and non-Darwin),
some byval arguments are allocated at fixed offsets by the ABI. These, however,
certainly can be pointed to by IR values. This change moves the 'isAliased'
logic out of FixedStackPseudoSourceValue and into MFI, and allows the isAliased
property to be overridden for fixed-offset objects.
This will be used by an upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend to fix PR20280.
No functionality change intended (the behavior of
FixedStackPseudoSourceValue::isAliased has been made more conservative for
callers that don't pass an MFI object, but I don't see any in-tree callers that
do that).

In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).
This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.
No functionality change intended.

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.

This patch enables LLVM to emit Win64-native unwind info rather than
DWARF CFI. It handles all corner cases (I hope), including stack
realignment.
Because the unwind info is not flexible enough to describe stack frames
with a gap of unknown size in the middle, such as the one caused by
stack realignment, I modified register spilling code to place all spills
into the fixed frame slots, so that they can be accessed relative to the
frame pointer.

behavior based on other files defining DEBUG_TYPE, which means it cannot
define DEBUG_TYPE at all. This is actually better IMO as it forces folks
to define relevant DEBUG_TYPEs for their files. However, it requires all
files that currently use DEBUG(...) to define a DEBUG_TYPE if they don't
already. I've updated all such files in LLVM and will do the same for
other upstream projects.
This still leaves one important change in how LLVM uses the DEBUG_TYPE
macro going forward: we need to only define the macro *after* header
files have been #include-ed. Previously, this wasn't possible because
Debug.h required the macro to be pre-defined. This commit removes that.
By defining DEBUG_TYPE after the includes two things are fixed:
- Header files that need to provide a DEBUG_TYPE for some inline code
can do so by defining the macro before their inline code and undef-ing
it afterward so the macro does not escape.
- We no longer have rampant ODR violations due to including headers with
different DEBUG_TYPE definitions. This may be mostly an academic
violation today, but with modules these types of violations are easy
to check for and potentially very relevant.
Where necessary to suppor headers with DEBUG_TYPE, I have moved the
definitions below the includes in this commit. I plan to move the rest
of the DEBUG_TYPE macros in LLVM in subsequent commits; this one is big
enough.
The comments in Debug.h, which were hilariously out of date already,
have been updated to reflect the recommended practice going forward.

Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a
GlobalValue had to link with Target.
This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact
behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target.
With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

This changes the MachineFrameInfo API to use the new SSPLayoutKind information
produced by the StackProtector pass (instead of a boolean flag) and updates a
few pass dependencies (to preserve the SSP analysis).
The stack layout follows the same approach used prior to this change - i.e.,
only LargeArray stack objects will be placed near the canary and everything
else will be laid out normally. After this change, structures containing large
arrays will also be placed near the canary - a case previously missed by the
old implementation.
Out of tree targets will need to update their usage of
MachineFrameInfo::CreateStackObject to remove the MayNeedSP argument.
The next patch will implement the rules for sspstrong and sspreq. The end goal
is to support ssp-strong stack layout rules.

The assertion was checking that the virtual register VReg used to represent the
physical register PReg uses the same register class as the one passed to
MachineFunction::addLiveIn.
This is over-constraining because it is sufficient to check that the register
class of VReg (VRegRC) is a subclass of the register class of PReg (PRegRC) and
that VRegRC contains PReg.
Indeed, if VReg gets constrained because of some operation constraints
between two calls of MachineFunction::addLiveIn, the original assertion
cannot match.

Aside from the question of whether we report a warning or an error when we
can't satisfy a requested stack object alignment, the current implementation
of this is not good. We're not providing any source location in the diagnostics
and the current warning is not connected to any warning group so you can't
control it. We could improve the source location somewhat, but we can do a
much better job if this check is implemented in the front-end, so let's do that
instead. <rdar://problem/13127907>

The series of patches leading up to this one makes llc -O0 run 8% faster.
When deallocating a MachineFunction, there is no need to visit all
MachineInstr and MachineOperand objects to deallocate them. All their
memory come from a BumpPtrAllocator that is about to be purged, and they
have empty destructors anyway.
This only applies when deallocating the MachineFunction.
DeleteMachineInstr() should still be used to recycle MI memory during
the codegen passes.
Remove the LeakDetector support for MachineInstr. I've never seen it
used before, and now it definitely doesn't work. With this patch, leaked
MachineInstrs would be much less of a problem since all of their memory
will be reclaimed by ~MachineFunction().
llvm-svn: 171599
Instead of an std::vector<MachineOperand>, use MachineOperand arrays
from an ArrayRecycler living in MachineFunction.
This has several advantages:
- MachineInstr now has a trivial destructor, making it possible to
delete them in batches when destroying MachineFunction. This will be
enabled in a later patch.
- Bypassing malloc() and free() can be faster, depending on the system
library.
- MachineInstr objects and their operands are allocated from the same
BumpPtrAllocator, so they will usually be next to each other in
memory, providing better locality of reference.
- Reduce MachineInstr footprint. A std::vector is 24 bytes, the new
operand array representation only uses 8+4+1 bytes in MachineInstr.
- Better control over operand array reallocations. In the old
representation, the use-def chains would be reordered whenever a
std::vector reached its capacity. The new implementation never changes
the use-def chain order.
Note that some decisions in the code generator depend on the use-def
chain orders, so this patch may cause different assembly to be produced
in a few cases.
