This change brings performance of zlib up by 10%. The example below is from a
hot loop in longest_match() from zlib.
do.body:
%cur_match.addr.0 = phi i32 [ %cur_match, %entry ], [ %2, %do.cond ]
%idx.ext = zext i32 %cur_match.addr.0 to i64
%add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %win, i64 %idx.ext
%add.ptr2 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr, i64 %idx.ext1
%add.ptr3 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr2, i64 -1
In this example %idx.ext1 is a loop invariant. It will be moved above the use of
loop induction variable %idx.ext such that it can be hoisted out of the loop by
LICM. The operands that have dependences carried by the loop will be sinked down
in the GEP chain. This patch will produce the following output:
do.body:
%cur_match.addr.0 = phi i32 [ %cur_match, %entry ], [ %2, %do.cond ]
%idx.ext = zext i32 %cur_match.addr.0 to i64
%add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %win, i64 %idx.ext1
%add.ptr2 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr, i64 -1
%add.ptr3 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %add.ptr2, i64 %idx.ext

When expanding the set of uniform instructions beyond the seed instructions
(e.g., consecutive pointers), we mark a new instruction uniform if all its
loop-varying users are uniform. We should also allow users that are consecutive
or interleaved memory accesses. This fixes cases where we have an instruction
that is used as the pointer operand of a consecutive access but also used by a
non-memory instruction that later becomes uniform as part of the expansion.

This patch reapplies r289863. The original patch was reverted because it
exposed a bug causing the loop vectorizer to crash in the Python runtime on
PPC. The underlying issue was fixed with r289958.

This uncovers a crasher in the loop vectorizer on PPC when building the
Python runtime. I'll send the testcase to the review thread for the
original commit.

This patch sets the default value of the "-enable-cond-stores-vec" command line
option to "true".

When we predicate an instruction (div, rem, store) we place the instruction in
its own basic block within the vectorized loop. If a predicated instruction has
scalar operands, it's possible to recursively sink these scalar expressions
into the predicated block so that they might avoid execution. This patch sinks
as much scalar computation as possible into predicated blocks. We previously
were able to sink such operands only if they were extractelement instructions.

This patch moves the processing of pointer induction variables in
collectLoopUniforms from the consecutive pointer phase of the analysis to the
phi node phase. Previously, if a pointer induction variable was used by both a
scalarized non-memory instruction as well as a vectorized memory instruction,
we would incorrectly identify the pointer as uniform. Pointer induction
variables should be treated the same as other phi nodes. That is, they are
uniform if all users of the induction variable and induction variable update
are uniform.

The test case included in r280979 wasn't checking what it was supposed to be
checking for the predicated store case. Fixing the test revealed that the
multi-use case (when a pointer is used by both vectorized and scalarized memory
accesses) wasn't being handled properly. We can't skip over
non-consecutive-like pointers since they may have looked consecutive-like with
a different memory access.
llvm-svn: 280992
Previously, all consecutive pointers were marked uniform after vectorization.
However, if a consecutive pointer is used by a memory access that is eventually
scalarized, the pointer won't remain uniform after all. An example is
predicated stores. Even though a predicated store may be consecutive, it will
still be scalarized, making it's pointer operand non-uniform.
This patch updates the logic in collectLoopUniforms to consider the cases where
a memory access may be scalarized. If a memory access may be scalarized, its
pointer operand is not marked uniform. The determination of whether a given
memory instruction will be scalarized or not has been moved into a common
function that is used by the vectorizer, cost model, and legality analysis.
