Rafael Espindola 0709a7bd1a Move alignment from MCSectionData to MCSection.
This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.

There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.

* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.

* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.

* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.

The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.

Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Quentin Colombet 61b305edfd [ShrinkWrap] Add (a simplified version) of shrink-wrapping.
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.

Sergey Dmitrouk 842a51bad8 Reapply r235977 "[DebugInfo] Add debug locations to constant SD nodes"
[DebugInfo] Add debug locations to constant SD nodes

This adds debug location to constant nodes of Selection DAG and updates
all places that create constants to pass debug locations
(see PR13269).

Can't guarantee that all locations are correct, but in a lot of cases choice
is obvious, so most of them should be. At least all tests pass.

Tests for these changes do not cover everything, instead just check it for
SDNodes, ARM and AArch64 where it's easy to get incorrect locations on
constants.

This is not complete fix as FastISel contains workaround for wrong debug
locations, which drops locations from instructions on processing constants,
but there isn't currently a way to use debug locations from constants there
as llvm::Constant doesn't cache it (yet). Although this is a bit different
issue, not directly related to these changes.

Require the pointee type to be passed explicitly and assert that it is
correct. For now it's possible to pass nullptr here (and I've done so in
a few places in this patch) but eventually that will be disallowed once
all clients have been updated or removed. It'll be a long road to get
all the way there... but if you have the cahnce to update your callers
to pass the type explicitly without depending on a pointer's element
type, that would be a good thing to do soon and a necessary thing to do
eventually.

Akira Hatanaka b46d0234a6 [MCInstPrinter] Enable MCInstPrinter to change its behavior based on the
per-function subtarget.

Currently, code-gen passes the default or generic subtarget to the constructors
of MCInstPrinter subclasses (see LLVMTargetMachine::addPassesToEmitFile), which
enables some targets (AArch64, ARM, and X86) to change their instprinter's
behavior based on the subtarget feature bits. Since the backend can now use
different subtargets for each function, instprinter has to be changed to use the
per-function subtarget rather than the default subtarget.

This patch takes the first step towards enabling instprinter to change its
behavior based on the per-function subtarget. It adds a bit "PassSubtarget" to
AsmWriter which tells table-gen to pass a reference to MCSubtargetInfo to the
various print methods table-gen auto-generates. 

I will follow up with changes to instprinters of AArch64, ARM, and X86.

Daniel Sanders 60f1db0525 Recommit r232027 with PR22883 fixed: Add infrastructure for support of multiple memory constraints.
The operand flag word for ISD::INLINEASM nodes now contains a 15-bit
memory constraint ID when the operand kind is Kind_Mem. This constraint
ID is a numeric equivalent to the constraint code string and is converted
with a target specific hook in TargetLowering.

This patch maps all memory constraints to InlineAsm::Constraint_m so there
is no functional change at this point. It just proves that using these
previously unused bits in the encoding of the flag word doesn't break
anything.

The next patch will make each target preserve the current mapping of
everything to Constraint_m for itself while changing the target independent
implementation of the hook to return Constraint_Unknown appropriately. Each
target will then be adapted in separate patches to use appropriate
Constraint_* values.

PR22883 was caused the matching operands copying the whole of the operand flags
for the matched operand. This included the constraint id which needed to be
replaced with the operand number. This has been fixed with a conversion
function. Following on from this, matching operands also used the operand
number as the constraint id. This has been fixed by looking up the matched
operand and taking it from there.

Mehdi Amini 93e1ea167e Move the DataLayout to the generic TargetMachine, making it mandatory.
Summary:
I don't know why every singled backend had to redeclare its own DataLayout.
There was a virtual getDataLayout() on the common base TargetMachine, the
default implementation returned nullptr. It was not clear from this that
we could assume at call site that a DataLayout will be available with
each Target.

Now getDataLayout() is no longer virtual and return a pointer to the
DataLayout member of the common base TargetMachine. I plan to turn it into
a reference in a future patch.

The only backend that didn't have a DataLayout previsouly was the CPPBackend.
It now initializes the default DataLayout. This commit is NFC for all the
other backends.

All MS enums are 'ints' unless otherwise specified, so we have to use an

Chandler Carruth 30d69c2e36 [PM] Remove the old 'PassManager.h' header file at the top level of
LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.

This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.

The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".

now that we have a correct and cached subtarget specific to the

Also, finish providing a cached per-function subtarget in the core
LLVMTargetMachine -- that layer hadn't switched over yet.

The only use of the TargetMachine was to re-lookup a subtarget for
a particular function to work around the fact that TTI was immutable.
Now that it is per-function and we haved a cached subtarget, use it.

This still leaves a few interfaces with real warts on them where we were
passing Function objects through the TTI interface. I'll remove these
and clean their usage up in subsequent commits now that this isn't

Chandler Carruth c340ca839c [multiversion] Remove the cached TargetMachine pointer from the
intermediate TTI implementation template and instead query up to the
derived class for both the TargetMachine and the TargetLowering.

Most of the derived types had a TLI cached already and there is no need
to store a less precisely typed target machine pointer.

This will in turn make it much cleaner to look up the TLI via
a per-function subtarget instead of the generic subtarget, and it will
pave the way toward pulling the subtarget used for unroll preferences
into the same form once we are *always* using the function to look up
the correct subtarget.

Chandler Carruth 8b04c0d26a [multiversion] Switch all of the targets over to use the
TargetIRAnalysis access path directly rather than implementing getTTI.

This even removes getTTI from the interface. It's more efficient for
each target to just register a precise callback that creates their
specific TTI.

As part of this, all of the targets which are building their subtargets
individually per-function now build their TTI instance with the function
and thus look up the correct subtarget and cache it. NVPTX, R600, and
XCore currently don't leverage this functionality, but its trivial for
them to add it now.

Chandler Carruth ee642690ea [multiversion] Remove a false freedom to leave the TargetMachine pointer
null.

For some reason some of the original TTI code supported a null target
machine. This seems to have been legacy, and I made matters worse when
refactoring this code by spreading that pattern further through the
various targets.

The TargetMachine can't actually be null, and it doesn't make sense to
support that use case. I've now consistently removed it and removed all
of the code trying to cope with that situation. This is probably good,
as several targets *didn't* cope with it being null despite the null
default argument in their constructors. =]

Chandler Carruth 93dcdc47db [PM] Switch the TargetMachine interface from accepting a pass manager
base which it adds a single analysis pass to, to instead return the type
erased TargetTransformInfo object constructed for that TargetMachine.

This removes all of the pass variants for TTI. There is now a single TTI
*pass* in the Analysis layer. All of the Analysis <-> Target
communication is through the TTI's type erased interface itself. While
the diff is large here, it is nothing more that code motion to make
types available in a header file for use in a different source file
within each target.

I've tried to keep all the doxygen comments and file boilerplate in line
with this move, but let me know if I missed anything.

With this in place, the next step to making TTI work with the new pass
manager is to introduce a really simple new-style analysis that produces
a TTI object via a callback into this routine on the target machine.
Once we have that, we'll have the building blocks necessary to accept
a function argument as well.

2015-01-31 11:17:59 +00:00
Chandler Carruth 705b185f90 [PM] Change the core design of the TTI analysis to use a polymorphic
type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.

The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.

I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.

There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.

The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.

Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.

The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]

Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:

1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
   a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
   and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
   of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
   a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
   This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
   sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
   target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
   of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
   easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
   easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
   just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
   the TTI in each target.

Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

Eric Christopher 8b7706517c Move DataLayout back to the TargetMachine from TargetSubtargetInfo
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.

Ahmed Bougacha 2b6917b020 [SelectionDAG] Allow targets to specify legality of extloads' result
type (in addition to the memory type).

The *LoadExt* legalization handling used to only have one type, the
memory type.  This forced users to assume that as long as the extload
for the memory type was declared legal, and the result type was legal,
the whole extload was legal.

However, this isn't always the case.  For instance, on X86, with AVX,
this is legal:
    v4i32 load, zext from v4i8
but this isn't:
    v4i64 load, zext from v4i8
Whereas v4i64 is (arguably) legal, even without AVX2.

Note that the same thing was done a while ago for truncstores (r46140),
but I assume no one needed it yet for extloads, so here we go.

Calls to getLoadExtAction were changed to add the value type, found
manually in the surrounding code.

Calls to setLoadExtAction were mechanically changed, by wrapping the
call in a loop, to match previous behavior.  The loop iterates over
the MVT subrange corresponding to the memory type (FP vectors, etc...).
I also pulled neighboring setTruncStoreActions into some of the loops;
those shouldn't make a difference, as the additional types are illegal.
(e.g., i128->i1 truncstores on PPC.)

No functional change intended.

Reid Kleckner 357600eab5 Add out of line virtual destructors to all LLVMTargetMachine subclasses
These recently all grew a unique_ptr<TargetLoweringObjectFile> member in
r221878.  When anyone calls a virtual method of a class, clang-cl
requires all virtual methods to be semantically valid. This includes the
implicit virtual destructor, which triggers instantiation of the
unique_ptr destructor, which fails because the type being deleted is
incomplete.

This is just part of the ongoing saga of PR20337, which is affecting
Blink as well. Because the MSVC ABI doesn't have key functions, we end
up referencing the vtable and implicit destructor on any virtual call
through a class. We don't actually end up emitting the dtor, so it'd be
good if we could avoid this unneeded type completion work.

Robin Morisset e2de06bef6 Erase fence insertion from SelectionDAGBuilder.cpp (NFC)
Summary:
Backends can use setInsertFencesForAtomic to signal to the middle-end that
montonic is the only memory ordering they can accept for
stores/loads/rmws/cmpxchg. The code lowering those accesses with a stronger
ordering to fences + monotonic accesses is currently living in
SelectionDAGBuilder.cpp. In this patch I propose moving this logic out of it
for several reasons:
- There is lots of redundancy to avoid: extremely similar logic already
  exists in AtomicExpand.
- The current code in SelectionDAGBuilder does not use any target-hooks, it
  does the same transformation for every backend that requires it
- As a result it is plain *unsound*, as it was apparently designed for ARM.
  It happens to mostly work for the other targets because they are extremely
  conservative, but Power for example had to switch to AtomicExpand to be
  able to use lwsync safely (see r218331).
- Because it produces IR-level fences, it cannot be made sound ! This is noted
  in the C++11 standard (section 29.3, page 1140):
```
Fences cannot, in general, be used to restore sequential consistency for atomic
operations with weaker ordering semantics.
```
It can also be seen by the following example (called IRIW in the litterature):
```
atomic<int> x = y = 0;
int r1, r2, r3, r4;
Thread 0:
  x.store(1);
Thread 1:
  y.store(1);
Thread 2:
  r1 = x.load();
  r2 = y.load();
Thread 3:
  r3 = y.load();
  r4 = x.load();
```
r1 = r3 = 1 and r2 = r4 = 0 is impossible as long as the accesses are all seq_cst.
But if they are lowered to monotonic accesses, no amount of fences can prevent it..

This patch does three things (I could cut it into parts, but then some of them
would not be tested/testable, please tell me if you would prefer that):
- it provides a default implementation for emitLeadingFence/emitTrailingFence in
terms of IR-level fences, that mimic the original logic of SelectionDAGBuilder.
As we saw above, this is unsound, but the best that can be done without knowing
the targets well (and there is a comment warning about this risk).
- it then switches Mips/Sparc/XCore to use AtomicExpand, relying on this default
implementation (that exactly replicates the logic of SelectionDAGBuilder, so no
functional change)
- it finally erase this logic from SelectionDAGBuilder as it is dead-code.

Ideally, each target would define its own override for emitLeading/TrailingFence
using target-specific fences, but I do not know the Sparc/Mips/XCore memory model
well enough to do this, and they appear to be dealing fine with the ARM-inspired
default expansion for now (probably because they are overly conservative, as
Power was). If anyone wants to compile fences more agressively on these
platforms, the long comment should make it clear why he should first override
emitLeading/TrailingFence.

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.

Juergen Ributzka 3bd03c7099 [DAG] Pass the argument list to the CallLoweringInfo via move semantics. NFCI.
The argument list vector is never used after it has been passed to the
CallLoweringInfo and moving it to the CallLoweringInfo is cleaner and
pretty much as cheap as keeping a pointer to it.

Alp Toker 614717388c Introduce a string_ostream string builder facilty
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.

Tom Stellard 3787b12255 SelectionDAG: Don't use MVT::Other to determine legality of ISD::SELECT_CC
The SelectionDAG bad a special case for ISD::SELECT_CC, where it would
allow targets to specify:

setOperationAction(ISD::SELECT_CC, MVT::Other, Expand);

to indicate that they wanted to expand ISD::SELECT_CC for all types.
This wasn't applied correctly everywhere, and it makes writing new
DAG patterns with ISD::SELECT_CC difficult.

Tom Stellard 3ca1bfc728 SelectionDAG: Expand SELECT_CC to SELECT + SETCC
This consolidates code from the Hexagon, R600, and XCore targets.

Rafael Espindola 64c1e18033 Allow alias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr.
This  patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.

This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like

@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
                                 i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)

An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).

Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.
