Summary:
Before this change, we didn't use to collect forward dependences since
none of the current clients (LV, LDist) required them.
The motivation to also collect forward dependences is a new pass
LoopLoadElimination (LLE) which discovers store-to-load forwarding
opportunities across the loop's backedge. The pass uses both lexically
forward or backward loop-carried dependences to detect these
opportunities.
The new pass also analyzes loop-independent (forward) dependences since
they can conflict with the loop-carried dependences in terms of how the
data flows through memory.
The newly added test only covers loop-carried forward dependences
because loop-independent ones are currently categorized as NoDep. The
next patch will fix this.
The two patches were tested together for compile-time regression. None
found in LNT/SPEC.
Note that with this change LAA provides all dependences rather than just
"interesting" ones. A subsequent NFC patch will remove the now trivial
isInterestingDependence and rename the APIs.

Summary:
SCEV Predicates represent conditions that typically cannot be derived from
static analysis, but can be used to reduce SCEV expressions to forms which are
usable for different optimizers.
ScalarEvolution now has the rewriteUsingPredicate method which can simplify a
SCEV expression using a SCEVPredicateSet. The normal workflow of a pass using
SCEVPredicates would be to hold a SCEVPredicateSet and every time assumptions
need to be made a new SCEV Predicate would be created and added to the set.
Each time after calling getSCEV, the user will call the rewriteUsingPredicate
method.
We add two types of predicates
SCEVPredicateSet - implements a set of predicates
SCEVEqualPredicate - tests for equality between two SCEV expressions
We use the SCEVEqualPredicate to re-implement stride versioning. Every time we
version a stride, we will add a SCEVEqualPredicate to the context.
Instead of adding specific stride checks, LoopVectorize now adds a more
generic SCEV check.
We only need to add support for this in the LoopVectorizer since this is the
only pass that will do stride versioning.

Remove implicit ilist iterator conversions from LLVMAnalysis.
I came across something really scary in `llvm::isKnownNotFullPoison()`
which relied on `Instruction::getNextNode()` being completely broken
(not surprising, but scary nevertheless). This function is documented
(and coded to) return `nullptr` when it gets to the sentinel, but with
an `ilist_half_node` as a sentinel, the sentinel check looks into some
other memory and we don't recognize we've hit the end.
Rooting out these scary cases is the reason I'm removing the implicit
conversions before doing anything else with `ilist`; I'm not at all
surprised that clients rely on badness.
I found another scary case -- this time, not relying on badness, just
bad (but I guess getting lucky so far) -- in
`ObjectSizeOffsetEvaluator::compute_()`. Here, we save out the
insertion point, do some things, and then restore it. Previously, we
let the iterator auto-convert to `Instruction*`, and then set it back
using the `Instruction*` version:
Instruction *PrevInsertPoint = Builder.GetInsertPoint();
/* Logic that may change insert point */
if (PrevInsertPoint)
Builder.SetInsertPoint(PrevInsertPoint);
The check for `PrevInsertPoint` doesn't protect correctly against bad
accesses. If the insertion point has been set to the end of a basic
block (i.e., `SetInsertPoint(SomeBB)`), then `GetInsertPoint()` returns
an iterator pointing at the list sentinel. The version of
`SetInsertPoint()` that's getting called will then call
`PrevInsertPoint->getParent()`, which explodes horribly. The only
reason this hasn't blown up is that it's fairly unlikely the builder is
adding to the end of the block; usually, we're adding instructions
somewhere before the terminator.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.

SCEV expansion can invalidate previously expanded values. For example
in SCEVExpander::ReuseOrCreateCast, if we already have the requested
cast value but it's not at the desired location, a new cast is inserted
and the old cast will be invalidated.
Therefore, when expanding the bounds for the pointers, a later entry can
invalidate the IR value for an earlier one. The fix is to store a value
handle rather than the value itself.
The newly added test has a more detailed description of how the bug
triggers.
This bug can have a negative but potentially highly variable performance
impact in Loop Distribution. Because one of the bound values was
invalidated and is an undef expression now, InstCombine is free to
transform the array overlap check:
Start0 <= End1 && Start1 <= End0
into:
Start0 <= End1
So depending on the runtime location of the arrays, we would detect a
conflict and fall back on the original loop of the versioned loop.
Also tested compile time with SPEC2006 LTO bc files.
llvm-svn: 245760
This change makes ScalarEvolution a stand-alone object and just produces
one from a pass as needed. Making this work well requires making the
object movable, using references instead of overwritten pointers in
a number of places, and other refactorings.
I've also wired it up to the new pass manager and added a RUN line to
a test to exercise it under the new pass manager. This includes basic
printing support much like with other analyses.
But there is a big and somewhat scary change here. Prior to this patch
ScalarEvolution was never *actually* invalidated!!! Re-running the pass
just re-wired up the various other analyses and didn't remove any of the
existing entries in the SCEV caches or clear out anything at all. This
might seem OK as everything in SCEV that can uses ValueHandles to track
updates to the values that serve as SCEV keys. However, this still means
that as we ran SCEV over each function in the module, we kept
accumulating more and more SCEVs into the cache. At the end, we would
have a SCEV cache with every value that we ever needed a SCEV for in the
entire module!!! Yowzers. The releaseMemory routine would dump all of
this, but that isn't realy called during normal runs of the pipeline as
far as I can see.
To make matters worse, there *is* actually a key that we don't update
with value handles -- there is a map keyed off of Loop*s. Because
LoopInfo *does* release its memory from run to run, it is entirely
possible to run SCEV over one function, then over another function, and
then lookup a Loop* from the second function but find an entry inserted
for the first function! Ouch.
To make matters still worse, there are plenty of updates that *don't*
trip a value handle. It seems incredibly unlikely that today GVN or
another pass that invalidates SCEV can update values in *just* such
a way that a subsequent run of SCEV will incorrectly find lookups in
a cache, but it is theoretically possible and would be a nightmare to
debug.
With this refactoring, I've fixed all this by actually destroying and
recreating the ScalarEvolution object from run to run. Technically, this
could increase the amount of malloc traffic we see, but then again it is
also technically correct. ;] I don't actually think we're suffering from
tons of malloc traffic from SCEV because if we were, the fact that we
never clear the memory would seem more likely to have come up as an
actual problem before now. So, I've made the simple fix here. If in fact
there are serious issues with too much allocation and deallocation,
I can work on a clever fix that preserves the allocations (while
clearing the data) between each run, but I'd prefer to do that kind of
optimization with a test case / benchmark that shows why we need such
cleverness (and that can test that we actually make it faster). It's
possible that this will make some things faster by making the SCEV
caches have higher locality (due to being significantly smaller) so
until there is a clear benchmark, I think the simple change is best.

This is unused after filtering checks was moved to the clients.
As a result, we can just return the number of the checks in the
precomputed set.
llvm-svn: 244369
This is the full set of checks that clients can further filter. IOW,
it's client-agnostic. This makes LAA complete in the sense that it now
provides the two main results of its analysis precomputed:
1. memory dependences via getDepChecker().getInsterestingDependences()
2. run-time checks via getRuntimePointerCheck().getChecks()
However, as a consequence we now compute this information pro-actively.
Thus if the client decides to skip the loop based on the dependences
we've computed the checks unnecessarily. In order to see whether this
was a significant overhead I checked compile time on SPEC2k6 LTO bitcode
files. The change was in the noise.
The checks are generated in canCheckPtrAtRT, at the same place where we
used to call groupChecks to merge checks.
llvm-svn: 244368
This is effectively an NFC but we can no longer print the index of the
pointer group so instead I print its address. This still lets us
cross-check the section that list the checks against the section that
list the groups (see how I modified the test).
E.g. before we printed this:
Run-time memory checks:
Check 0:
Comparing group 0:
%arrayidxC = getelementptr inbounds i16, i16* %c, i64 %store_ind
%arrayidxC1 = getelementptr inbounds i16, i16* %c, i64 %store_ind_inc
Against group 1:
%arrayidxA = getelementptr i16, i16* %a, i64 %ind
%arrayidxA1 = getelementptr i16, i16* %a, i64 %add
...
Grouped accesses:
Group 0:
(Low: %c High: (78 + %c))
Member: {%c,+,4}<%for.body>
Member: {(2 + %c),+,4}<%for.body>
Now we print this (changes are underlined):
Run-time memory checks:
Check 0:
Comparing group (0x7f9c6040c320):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
%arrayidxC1 = getelementptr inbounds i16, i16* %c, i64 %store_ind_inc

...

llvm-svn: 243354
Summary:
The goal is to start moving us closer to the model where
RuntimePointerChecking will compute and store the checks. Then a client
can filter the check according to its requirements and then use the
filtered list of checks with addRuntimeCheck.
Before the patch, this is all done in addRuntimeCheck. So the patch
starts to split up addRuntimeCheck while providing the old API under
what's more or less a wrapper now.
The new underlying addRuntimeCheck takes a collection of checks now,
expands the code for the bounds then generates the code for the checks.
I am not completely happy with making expandBounds static because now it
needs so many explicit arguments but I don't want to make the type
PointerBounds part of LAI. This should get fixed when addRuntimeCheck
is moved to LoopVersioning where it really belongs, IMO.
Audited the assembly diff of the testsuite (including externals). There
is a tiny bit of assembly churn that is due to the different order the
code for the bounds is expanded now
(MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/bison/conflicts.s and with LoopDist
on 456.hmmer/fast_algorithms.s).

Summary:
The checking pointer grouping algorithm assumes that the
starts/ends of the pointers are well formed (start <= end).
The runtime memory checking algorithm also assumes this by doing:
start0 < end1 && start1 < end0
to detect conflicts. This check only works if start0 <= end0 and
start1 <= end1.
This change correctly orders the interval ends by either checking
the stride (if it is constant) or by using min/max SCEV expressions.

Currently canCheckPtrAtRT returns two flags NeedRTCheck and CanDoRT.
NeedRTCheck says whether we need checks and CanDoRT whether we can
generate the checks. The idea is to encode three states with these:
Need/Can:
(1) false/dont-care: no checks are needed
(2) true/false: we need checks but can't generate them
(3) true/true: we need checks and we can generate them
This is pretty unnecessary since the caller (analyzeLoop) is only
interested in whether we can generate the checks if we actually need
them (i.e. 1 or 3).
So this change cleans up to return just that (CanDoRTIfNeeded) and pulls
all the underlying logic into canCheckPtrAtRT.
By doing all this, we simplify analyzeLoop which is the complex function
in LAA.
There is further room for improvement here by using RtCheck.Need
directly rather than a new local variable NeedRTCheck but that's for a
later patch.
llvm-svn: 241866
Summary:
The checking pointer group construction algorithm relied on the iteration on DepCands.
We would need the same leaders across runs and the same iteration order over the underlying std::set for determinism.
This changes the algorithm to process the pointers in the order in which they were added to the runtime check, which is deterministic.
We need to update the tests, since the order in which pointers appear has changed.
No new tests were added, since it is impossible to test for non-determinism.

This commit ([LAA] Fix estimation of number of memchecks) regressed the
logic a bit. We shouldn't quit the analysis if we encounter a pointer
without known bounds *unless* we actually need to emit a memcheck for
it.
The original code was using NumComparisons which is now computed
differently. Instead I compute NeedRTCheck from NumReadPtrChecks and
NumWritePtrChecks.
As side note, I find the separation of NeedRTCheck and CanDoRT
confusing, so I will try to merge them in a follow-up patch.

r239285 ([LoopAccessAnalysis] Teach LAA to check the memory dependence
between strided accesses.) introduced a new case under
MemoryDepChecker::isDependent. We normally have debug output for each
case.
llvm-svn: 241707
Summary:
Often filter-like loops will do memory accesses that are
separated by constant offsets. In these cases it is
common that we will exceed the threshold for the
allowable number of checks.
However, it should be possible to merge such checks,
sice a check of any interval againt two other intervals separated
by a constant offset (a,b), (a+c, b+c) will be equivalent with
a check againt (a, b+c), as long as (a,b) and (a+c, b+c) overlap.
Assuming the loop will be executed for a sufficient number of
iterations, this will be true. If not true, checking against
(a, b+c) is still safe (although not equivalent).
As long as there are no dependencies between two accesses,
we can merge their checks into a single one. We use this
technique to construct groups of accesses, and then check
the intervals associated with the groups instead of
checking the accesses directly.

Summary:
Scalar evolution does not propagate the non-wrapping flags to values
that are derived from a non-wrapping induction variable because
the non-wrapping property could be flow-sensitive.
This change is a first attempt to establish the non-wrapping property in
some simple cases. The main idea is to look through the operations
defining the pointer. As long as we arrive to a non-wrapping AddRec via
a small chain of non-wrapping instruction, the pointer should not wrap
either.
I believe that this essentially is what Andy described in

forward.

We need to add a runtime memcheck for pair of accesses (x,y) where at least one of x and y
are writes.
Assuming we have w writes and r reads, currently this number is estimated as being
w* (w+r-1). This estimation will count (write,write) pairs twice and will overestimate
the number of checks required.
This change adds a getNumberOfChecks method to RuntimePointerCheck, which
will count the number of runtime checks needed (similar in implementation to
needsAnyChecking) and uses it to produce the correct number of runtime checks.

Interleaved memory accesses are grouped and vectorized into vector load/store and shufflevector.
E.g. for (i = 0; i < N; i+=2) {

All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its

soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense

This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
