Summary:
Create a method to forget everything in SCEV.
Add a cl::opt and PassManagerBuilder option to use this in LoopUnroll.
Motivation: Certain Halide applications spend a very long time compiling in forgetLoop, and prefer to forget everything and rebuild SCEV from scratch.
Sample difference in compile time reduction: 21.04 to 14.78 using current ToT release build.
Testcase showcasing this cannot be opensourced and is fairly large.
The option disabled by default, but it may be desirable to enable by
default. Evidence in favor (two difference runs on different days/ToT state):

The basic idea of the pass is to use a circular buffer to log the execution ordering of the functions. We only log the function when it is first executed. We use a 8-byte hash to log the function symbol name.
In this pass, we add three global variables:
(1) an order file buffer: a circular buffer at its own llvm section.
(2) a bitmap for each module: one byte for each function to say if the function is already executed.
(3) a global index to the order file buffer.
At the function prologue, if the function has not been executed (by checking the bitmap), log the function hash, then atomically increase the index.

With or without PGO data applied, splitting early in the pipeline
(either before the inliner or shortly after it) regresses performance
across SPEC variants. The cause appears to be that splitting hides
context for subsequent optimizations.
Schedule splitting late again, in effect reversing r352080, which
scheduled the splitting pass early for code size benefits (documented in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D57082).

Summary:
Follow up to D57082 which moved splitting earlier in the pipeline, in
order to perform it before inlining. However, it was moved too early,
before the IR is annotated with instrumented PGO data. This caused the
splitting to incorrectly determine cold functions.
Move it to just after PGO annotation (still before inlining), in both
pass managers.

Performing splitting early has several advantages:
- Inhibiting inlining of cold code early improves code size. Compared
to scheduling splitting at the end of the pipeline, this cuts code
size growth in half within the iOS shared cache (0.69% to 0.34%).
- Inhibiting inlining of cold code improves compile time. There's no
need to inline split cold functions, or to inline as much *within*
those split functions as they are marked `minsize`.
- During LTO, extra work is only done in the pre-link step. Less code
must be inlined during cross-module inlining.
An additional motivation here is that the most common cold regions
identified by the static/conservative splitting heuristic can (a) be
found before inlining and (b) do not grow after inlining. E.g.
__assert_fail, os_log_error.
The disadvantages are:
- Some opportunities for splitting out cold code may be missed. This
gap can potentially be narrowed by adding a worklist algorithm to the
splitting pass.
- Some opportunities to reduce code size may be lost (e.g. store
sinking, when one side of the CFG diamond is split). This does not
outweigh the code size benefits of splitting earlier.
On net, splitting early in the pipeline has substantial code size
benefits, and no major effects on memory locality or performance. We
measured memory locality using ktrace data, and consistently found that
10% fewer pages were needed to capture 95% of text page faults in key
iOS benchmarks. We measured performance on frequency-stabilized iOS
devices using LNT+externals.
This reverses course on the decision made to schedule splitting late in
r344869 (D53437).

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

If the sample profile has no inlining hierachy information included, we call
the sample profile is flattened. For flattened profile, in ThinLTO postlink
phase, SampleProfileLoader's hot function inlining and profile annotation will
do nothing, so it is better to save the effort to read in the profile and run
the sample profile loader pass. It is helpful for reducing compile time when
the flattened profile is huge.

At -O0, globalopt is not run during the compile step, and we can have a
chain of an alias having an immediate aliasee of another alias. The
summaries are constructed assuming aliases in a canonical form
(flattened chains), and as a result only the base object but no
intermediate aliases were preserved.
Fix by adding a pass that canonicalize aliases, which ensures each
alias is a direct alias of the base object.

Rename:
NoUnrolling to InterleaveOnlyWhenForced
and
AlwaysVectorize to !VectorizeOnlyWhenForced
Contrary to what the name 'AlwaysVectorize' suggests, it does not
unconditionally vectorize all loops, but applies a cost model to
determine whether vectorization is profitable to all loops. Hence,
passing false will disable the cost model, except when a loop is marked
with llvm.loop.vectorize.enable. The 'OnlyWhenForced' suffix (suggested
by @hfinkel in D55716) better matches this behavior.
Similarly, 'NoUnrolling' disables the profitability cost model for
interleaving (a term to distinguish it from unrolling by the
LoopUnrollPass); rename it for consistency.

When using clang with `-fno-unroll-loops` (implicitly added with `-O1`),
the LoopUnrollPass is not not added to the (legacy) pass pipeline. This
also means that it will not process any loop metadata such as
llvm.loop.unroll.enable (which is generated by #pragma unroll or
WarnMissedTransformationsPass emits a warning that a forced
transformation has not been applied (see
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20181210/610833.html).
Such explicit transformations should take precedence over disabling
heuristics.
This patch unconditionally adds LoopUnrollPass to the optimizing
pipeline (that is, it is still not added with `-O0`), but passes a flag
indicating whether automatic unrolling is dis-/enabled. This is the same
approach as LoopVectorize uses.
The new pass manager's pipeline builder has no option to disable
unrolling, hence the problem does not apply.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D55716

When multiple loop transformation are defined in a loop's metadata, their order of execution is defined by the order of their respective passes in the pass pipeline. For instance, e.g.
#pragma clang loop unroll_and_jam(enable)
#pragma clang loop distribute(enable)
is the same as
#pragma clang loop distribute(enable)
#pragma clang loop unroll_and_jam(enable)
and will try to loop-distribute before Unroll-And-Jam because the LoopDistribute pass is scheduled after UnrollAndJam pass. UnrollAndJamPass only supports one inner loop, i.e. it will necessarily fail after loop distribution. It is not possible to specify another execution order. Also,t the order of passes in the pipeline is subject to change between versions of LLVM, optimization options and which pass manager is used.
This patch adds 'followup' attributes to various loop transformation passes. These attributes define which attributes the resulting loop of a transformation should have. For instance,
!0 = !{!0, !1, !2}
!1 = !{!"llvm.loop.unroll_and_jam.enable"}
!2 = !{!"llvm.loop.unroll_and_jam.followup_inner", !3}
!3 = !{!"llvm.loop.distribute.enable"}
defines a loop ID (!0) to be unrolled-and-jammed (!1) and then the attribute !3 to be added to the jammed inner loop, which contains the instruction to distribute the inner loop.
Currently, in both pass managers, pass execution is in a fixed order and UnrollAndJamPass will not execute again after LoopDistribute. We hope to fix this in the future by allowing pass managers to run passes until a fixpoint is reached, use Polly to perform these transformations, or add a loop transformation pass which takes the order issue into account.
For mandatory/forced transformations (e.g. by having been declared by #pragma omp simd), the user must be notified when a transformation could not be performed. It is not possible that the responsible pass emits such a warning because the transformation might be 'hidden' in a followup attribute when it is executed, or it is not present in the pipeline at all. For this reason, this patche introduces a WarnMissedTransformations pass, to warn about orphaned transformations.
Since this changes the user-visible diagnostic message when a transformation is applied, two test cases in the clang repository need to be updated.
To ensure that no other transformation is executed before the intended one, the attribute `llvm.loop.disable_nonforced` can be added which should disable transformation heuristics before the intended transformation is applied. E.g. it would be surprising if a loop is distributed before a #pragma unroll_and_jam is applied.
With more supported code transformations (loop fusion, interchange, stripmining, offloading, etc.), transformations can be used as building blocks for more complex transformations (e.g. stripmining+stripmining+interchange -> tiling).

This patch turns LoopInterchange into a loop pass. It now only
considers top-level loops and tries to move the innermost loop to the
optimal position within the loop nest. By only looking at top-level
loops, we might miss a few opportunities the function pass would get
(e.g. if we have a loop nest of 3 loops, in the function pass
we might process loops at level 1 and 2 and move the inner most loop to
level 1, and then we process loops at levels 0, 1, 2 and interchange
again, because we now have a different inner loop). But I think it would
be better to handle such cases by picking the best inner loop from the
start and avoid re-visiting the same loops again.
The biggest advantage of it being a function pass is that it interacts
nicely with the other loop passes. Without this patch, there are some
performance regressions on AArch64 with loop interchanging enabled,
where no loops were interchanged, but we missed out on some other loop
optimizations.
It also removes the SimplifyCFG run. We are just changing branches, so
the CFG should not be more complicated, besides the additional 'unique'
preheaders this pass might create.

This is a simple implementation of the unroll-and-jam classical loop
optimisation.
The basic idea is that we take an outer loop of the form:
for i..
ForeBlocks(i)
for j..
SubLoopBlocks(i, j)
AftBlocks(i)
Instead of doing normal inner or outer unrolling, we unroll as follows:
for i... i+=2
ForeBlocks(i)
ForeBlocks(i+1)
for j..
SubLoopBlocks(i, j)
SubLoopBlocks(i+1, j)
AftBlocks(i)
AftBlocks(i+1)

So we have unrolled the outer loop, then jammed the two inner loops into
one. This can lead to a simpler inner loop if memory accesses can be shared
between the now jammed loops.
To do this we have to prove that this is all safe, both for the memory
accesses (using dependence analysis) and that ForeBlocks(i+1) can move before

This patch adds support for generating a call graph profile from Branch Frequency Info.
The CGProfile module pass simply gets the block profile count for each BB and scans for call instructions. For each call instruction it adds an edge from the current function to the called function with the current BB block profile count as the weight.
After scanning all the functions, it generates an appending module flag containing the data. The format looks like:
!llvm.module.flags = !{!0}
!0 = !{i32 5, !"CG Profile", !1}
!1 = !{!2, !3, !4} ; List of edges
!2 = !{void ()* @a, void ()* @b, i64 32} ; Edge from a to b with a weight of 32

Clang implements the -finstrument-functions flag inherited from GCC, which
inserts calls to __cyg_profile_func_{enter,exit} on function entry and exit.
This is useful for getting a trace of how the functions in a program are
executed. Normally, the calls remain even if a function is inlined into another
function, but it is useful to be able to turn this off for users who are
interested in a lower-level trace, i.e. one that reflects what functions are
called post-inlining. (We use this to generate link order files for Chromium.)
LLVM already has a pass for inserting similar instrumentation calls to
mcount(), which it does after inlining. This patch renames and extends that
pass to handle calls both to mcount and the cygprofile functions, before and/or
after inlining as controlled by function attributes.

Summary:
This change add a pass which tries to split a call-site to pass

so that we can expose better context to the later passes (e.g, inliner, jump

As of now we support two cases :
1) If a call site is dominated by an OR condition and if any of its arguments

Split from :
if (!ptr || c)
callee(ptr);
to :
if (!ptr)
callee(null ptr) // set the known constant value
else if (c)
callee(nonnull ptr) // set non-null attribute in the argument
2) We can also split a call-site based on constant incoming values of a PHI

from :
BB0:
%c = icmp eq i32 %i1, %i2
br i1 %c, label %BB2, label %BB1

LTO global will result in an undefined reference at link time.
This problem is only observable when --gc-sections is disabled, or
when targeting COFF, as the COFF port of lld requires all symbols to
have a definition even if all references are dead (this is consistent
with link.exe).
This change also adds an EliminateAvailableExternally pass at -O0. This
is necessary to handle the situation on Windows where a non-prevailing
copy of a linkonce_odr function has an SEH filter function; any
such filters must be DCE'd because they will contain a call to the
llvm.localrecover intrinsic, passing as an argument the address of the
function that the filter belongs to, and llvm.localrecover requires
this function to be defined locally.

This is no-functional-change-intended.
This is repackaging the functionality of D30333 (defer switch-to-lookup-tables) and
D35411 (defer folding unconditional branches) with pass parameters rather than a named
"latesimplifycfg" pass. Now that we have individual options to control the functionality,
we could decouple when these fire (but that's an independent patch if desired).
The next planned step would be to add another option bit to disable the sinking transform
mentioned in D38566. This should also make it clear that the new pass manager needs to
be updated to limit simplifycfg in the same way as the old pass manager.

This patch adds a new pass for attaching !callees metadata to indirect call
sites. The pass propagates values to call sites by performing an IPSCCP-like
analysis using the generic sparse propagation solver. For indirect call sites
having a small set of possible callees, the attached metadata indicates what
those callees are. The metadata can be used to facilitate optimizations like
intersecting the function attributes of the possible callees, refining the call
graph, performing indirect call promotion, etc.

This is intended to be a superset of the functionality from D31037 (EarlyCSE) but implemented
as an independent pass, so there's no stretching of scope and feature creep for an existing pass.
I also proposed a weaker version of this for SimplifyCFG in D30910. And I initially had almost
this same functionality as an addition to CGP in the motivating example of PR31028:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31028
The advantage of positioning this ahead of SimplifyCFG in the pass pipeline is that it can allow
more flattening. But it needs to be after passes (InstCombine) that could sink a div/rem and
undo the hoisting that is done here.
Decomposing remainder may allow removing some code from the backend (PPC and possibly others).

This patch provides an initial prototype for a pass that sinks instructions based on GVN information, similar to GVNHoist. It is not yet ready for commiting but I've uploaded it to gather some initial thoughts.
This pass attempts to sink instructions into successors, reducing static
instruction count and enabling if-conversion.
We use a variant of global value numbering to decide what can be sunk.
Consider:
[ %a1 = add i32 %b, 1 ] [ %c1 = add i32 %d, 1 ]
[ %a2 = xor i32 %a1, 1 ] [ %c2 = xor i32 %c1, 1 ]
\ /
[ %e = phi i32 %a2, %c2 ]
[ add i32 %e, 4 ]
GVN would number %a1 and %c1 differently because they compute different
results - the VN of an instruction is a function of its opcode and the
transitive closure of its operands. This is the key property for hoisting
and CSE.
What we want when sinking however is for a numbering that is a function of
the *uses* of an instruction, which allows us to answer the question "if I
replace %a1 with %c1, will it contribute in an equivalent way to all
successive instructions?". The (new) PostValueTable class in GVN provides this
mapping.
This pass has some shown really impressive improvements especially for codesize already on internal benchmarks, so I have high hopes it can replace all the sinking logic in SimplifyCFG.

llvm-svn: 303850
Currently, this pass only focuses on *trivial* loop unswitching. At that
reduced problem it remains significantly better than the current loop
unswitch:
- Old pass is worse than cubic complexity. New pass is (I think) linear.
- New pass is much simpler in its design by focusing on full unswitching. (See
below for details on this).
- New pass doesn't carry state for thresholds between pass iterations.
- New pass doesn't carry state for correctness (both miscompile and
infloop) between pass iterations.
- New pass produces substantially better code after unswitching.
- New pass can handle more trivial unswitch cases.
- New pass doesn't recompute the dominator tree for the entire function
and instead incrementally updates it.
I've ported all of the trivial unswitching test cases from the old pass
to the new one to make sure that major functionality isn't lost in the
process. For several of the test cases I've worked to improve the
precision and rigor of the CHECKs, but for many I've just updated them
to handle the new IR produced.
My initial motivation was the fact that the old pass carried state in
very unreliable ways between pass iterations, and these mechansims were
incompatible with the new pass manager. However, I discovered many more
improvements to make along the way.
This pass makes two very significant assumptions that enable most of these
improvements:
1) Focus on *full* unswitching -- that is, completely removing whatever
control flow construct is being unswitched from the loop. In the case
of trivial unswitching, this means removing the trivial (exiting)
edge. In non-trivial unswitching, this means removing the branch or
switch itself. This is in opposition to *partial* unswitching where
some part of the unswitched control flow remains in the loop. Partial
unswitching only really applies to switches and to folded branches.
These are very similar to full unrolling and partial unrolling. The
full form is an effective canonicalization, the partial form needs
a complex cost model, cannot be iterated, isn't canonicalizing, and
should be a separate pass that runs very late (much like unrolling).
2) Leverage LLVM's Loop machinery to the fullest. The original unswitch
dates from a time when a great deal of LLVM's loop infrastructure was
missing, ineffective, and/or unreliable. As a consequence, a lot of
complexity was added which we no longer need.
With these two overarching principles, I think we can build a fast and
effective unswitcher that fits in well in the new PM and in the
canonicalization pipeline. Some of the remaining functionality around
partial unswitching may not be relevant today (not many test cases or
benchmarks I can find) but if they are I'd like to add support for them
as a separate layer that runs very late in the pipeline.
Purely to make reviewing and introducing this code more manageable, I've
split this into first a trivial-unswitch-only pass and in the next patch
I'll add support for full non-trivial unswitching against a *fixed*
threshold, exactly like full unrolling. I even plan to re-use the
unrolling thresholds, as these are incredibly similar cost tradeoffs:
we're cloning a loop body in order to end up with simplified control
flow. We should only do that when the total growth is reasonably small.
One of the biggest changes with this pass compared to the previous one
is that previously, each individual trivial exiting edge from a switch
was unswitched separately as a branch. Now, we unswitch the entire
switch at once, with cases going to the various destinations. This lets
us unswitch multiple exiting edges in a single operation and also avoids
numerous extremely bad behaviors, where we would introduce 1000s of
branches to test for thousands of possible values, all of which would
take the exact same exit path bypassing the loop. Now we will use
a switch with 1000s of cases that can be efficiently lowered into
a jumptable. This avoids relying on somehow forming a switch out of the
branches or getting horrible code if that fails for any reason.
Another significant change is that this pass actively updates the CFG
based on unswitching. For trivial unswitching, this is actually very
easy because of the definition of loop simplified form. Doing this makes
the code coming out of loop unswitch dramatically more friendly. We
still should run loop-simplifycfg (at the least) after this to clean up,
but it will have to do a lot less work.
Finally, this pass makes much fewer attempts to simplify instructions
based on the unswitch. Something like loop-instsimplify, instcombine, or
GVN can be used to do increasingly powerful simplifications based on the
now dominating predicate. The old simplifications are things that
something like loop-instsimplify should get today or a very, very basic
loop-instcombine could get. Keeping that logic separate is a big
simplifying technique.
Most of the code in this pass that isn't in the old one has to do with
achieving specific goals:
- Updating the dominator tree as we go
- Unswitching all cases in a switch in a single step.
I think it is still shorter than just the trivial unswitching code in
the old pass despite having this functionality.

In r267672, where the loop distribution pragma was introduced, I tried
it hard to keep the old behavior for opt: when opt is invoked
with -loop-distribute, it should distribute the loop (it's off by
default when ran via the optimization pipeline).
As MichaelZ has discovered this has the unintended consequence of
breaking a very common developer work-flow to reproduce compilations
using opt: First you print the pass pipeline of clang
with -debug-pass=Arguments and then invoking opt with the returned
arguments.
clang -debug-pass will include -loop-distribute but the pass is invoked
with default=off so nothing happens unless the loop carries the pragma.
While through opt (default=on) we will try to distribute all loops.
This changes opt's default to off as well to match clang. The tests are
modified to explicitly enable the transformation.

Summary:
This pass shrink-wraps a condition to some library calls where the call
result is not used. For example:
sqrt(val);
is transformed to
if (val < 0)
sqrt(val);
Even if the result of library call is not being used, the compiler cannot
safely delete the call because the function can set errno on error
conditions.
Note in many functions, the error condition solely depends on the incoming
parameter. In this optimization, we can generate the condition can lead to
the errno to shrink-wrap the call. Since the chances of hitting the error
condition is low, the runtime call is effectively eliminated.
These partially dead calls are usually results of C++ abstraction penalty
exposed by inlining. This optimization hits 108 times in 19 C/C++ programs
in SPEC2006.

The bitset metadata currently used in LLVM has a few problems:
1. It has the wrong name. The name "bitset" refers to an implementation
detail of one use of the metadata (i.e. its original use case, CFI).
This makes it harder to understand, as the name makes no sense in the
context of virtual call optimization.
2. It is represented using a global named metadata node, rather than
being directly associated with a global. This makes it harder to
manipulate the metadata when rebuilding global variables, summarise it
as part of ThinLTO and drop unused metadata when associated globals are
dropped. For this reason, CFI does not currently work correctly when
both CFI and vcall opt are enabled, as vcall opt needs to rebuild vtable
globals, and fails to associate metadata with the rebuilt globals. As I
understand it, the same problem could also affect ASan, which rebuilds
globals with a red zone.
This patch solves both of those problems in the following way:
1. Rename the metadata to "type metadata". This new name reflects how
the metadata is currently being used (i.e. to represent type information
for CFI and vtable opt). The new name is reflected in the name for the
associated intrinsic (llvm.type.test) and pass (LowerTypeTests).
2. Attach metadata directly to the globals that it pertains to, rather
than using the "llvm.bitsets" global metadata node as we are doing now.
This is done using the newly introduced capability to attach
metadata to global variables (r271348 and r271358).

As a result of D18634 we no longer infer certain attributes on linkonce_odr
functions at compile time, and may only infer them at LTO time. The readnone
attribute in particular is required for virtual constant propagation (part
of whole-program virtual call optimization) to work correctly.
This change moves the whole-program virtual call optimization pass after
the function attribute inference passes, and enables the attribute inference
passes at opt level 1, so that virtual constant propagation has a chance to
work correctly for linkonce_odr functions.

Summary:
The original ThinLTO pipeline was derived from some
work I did tuning FullLTO on the test suite and SPEC. This
patch reduces the amount of work done in the "linker phase" of
the build, and extend the function simplifications passes
performed during the "compile phase". This helps the build time
by reducing the IR as much as possible during the compile phase
and limiting the work to be performed during the "link phase",
while keeping the performance "on par" with the existing pipeline.
