We currently always vectorize induction variables. However, if an induction
variable is only used for counting loop iterations or computing addresses with
getelementptr instructions, we don't need to do this. Vectorizing these trivial
induction variables can create vector code that is difficult to simplify later
on. This is especially true when the unroll factor is greater than one, and we
create vector arithmetic when computing step vectors. With this patch, we check
if an induction variable is only used for counting iterations or computing
addresses, and if so, scalarize the arithmetic when computing step vectors
instead. This allows for greater simplification.
This patch addresses the suboptimal pointer arithmetic sequence seen in
PR27881.

llvm-svn: 273864
The interleaved access analysis currently assumes that the inserted run-time
pointer aliasing checks ensure the absence of dependences that would prevent
its instruction reordering. However, this is not the case.
Issues can arise from how code generation is performed for interleaved groups.
For a load group, all loads in the group are essentially moved to the location
of the first load in program order, and for a store group, all stores in the
group are moved to the location of the last store. For groups having members
involved in a dependence relation with any other instruction in the loop, this
reordering can violate the dependence.
This patch teaches the interleaved access analysis how to avoid breaking such
dependences, and should fix PR27626.
An assumption of the original analysis was that the accesses had been collected
in "program order". The analysis was then simplified by visiting the accesses
bottom-up. However, this ordering was never guaranteed for anything other than
single basic block loops. Thus, this patch also enforces the desired ordering.

This is a functional change for LLE and LDist. The other clients (LV,
LVerLICM) already had this explicitly enabled.
The temporary boolean parameter to LAA is removed that allowed turning
off speculation of symbolic strides. This makes LAA's caching interface
LAA::getInfo only take the loop as the parameter. This makes the
interface more friendly to the new Pass Manager.
The flag -enable-mem-access-versioning is moved from LV to a LAA which
now allows turning off speculation globally.
llvm-svn: 273064
This is still NFCI, so the list of clients that allow symbolic stride
speculation does not change (yes: LV and LoopVersioningLICM, no: LLE,
LDist). However since the symbolic strides are now managed by LAA
rather than passed by client a new bool parameter is used to enable
symbolic stride speculation.
The existing test Transforms/LoopVectorize/version-mem-access.ll checks
that stride speculation is performed for LV.
The previously added test Transforms/LoopLoadElim/symbolic-stride.ll
ensures that no speculation is performed for LLE.
The next patch will change the functionality and turn on symbolic stride
speculation in all of LAA's clients and remove the bool parameter.
llvm-svn: 272970
Turns out SymbolicStrides is actually used in canVectorizeWithIfConvert
before it gets set up in canVectorizeMemory.
This works fine as long as SymbolicStrides resides in LV since we just
have an empty map. Based on this the conclusion is made that there are
no symbolic strides which is conservatively correct.
However once SymbolicStrides becomes part of LAI, LAI is nullptr at this
point so we need to differentiate the uninitialized state by returning a
nullptr for SymbolicStrides.

LoopVectorizationLegality holds a constant reference to LAI, so this

This enables using vector IVs for secondary integer IVs whose type matches the

In truncateToMinimalBitwidths() we were RAUW'ing an instruction then erasing it. However, that intruction could be cached in the map we're iterating over. The first check is "I->use_empty()" which in most cases would return true, as the (deleted) object was RAUW'd first so would have zero use count. However in some cases the object could have been polluted or written over and this wouldn't be the case. Also it makes valgrind, asan and traditionalists who don't like their compiler to crash sad.
No testcase as there are no externally visible symptoms apart from a crash if the stars align.

The selection of the vectorization factor currently doesn't consider

dependence distance computed by LAA. However, for loops with interleaved

interleaved groups. Interleaved accesses not in a group will be scalarized.

We previously disallowed interleaved load groups that may cause us to

This change adds a new hook for estimating the cost of vector extracts followed
by zero- and sign-extensions. The motivating example for this change is the
SMOV and UMOV instructions on AArch64. These instructions move data from vector
to general purpose registers while performing the corresponding extension
(sign-extend for SMOV and zero-extend for UMOV) at the same time. For these
operations, TargetTransformInfo can assume the extensions are free and only
report the cost of the vector extract. The SLP vectorizer has been updated to
make use of the new hook.

I really thought we were doing this already, but we were not. Given this input:
void Test(int *res, int *c, int *d, int *p) {
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
res[i] = (p[i] == 0) ? res[i] : res[i] + d[i];
}
we did not vectorize the loop. Even with "assume_safety" the check that we
don't if-convert conditionally-executed loads (to protect against
data-dependent deferenceability) was not elided.
One subtlety: As implemented, it will still prefer to use a masked-load
instrinsic (given target support) over the speculated load. The choice here
seems architecture specific; the best option depends on how expensive the
masked load is compared to a regular load. Ideally, using the masked load still
reduces unnecessary memory traffic, and so should be preferred. If we'd rather
do it the other way, flipping the order of the checks is easy.
The LangRef is updated to make explicit that llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access also
implies that if conversion is okay.

This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.
The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit). Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit. A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.
The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check. Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute. A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

Some SIMD implementations are not IEEE-754 compliant, for example ARM's NEON.
This patch teaches the loop vectorizer to only allow transformations of loops
that either contain no floating-point operations or have enough allowance
flags supporting lack of precision (ex. -ffast-math, Darwin).
For that, the target description now has a method which tells us if the
vectorizer is allowed to handle FP math without falling into unsafe
representations, plus a check on every FP instruction in the candidate loop
to check for the safety flags.
This commit makes LLVM behave like GCC with respect to ARM NEON support, but
it stops short of fixing the underlying problem: sub-normals. Neither GCC
nor LLVM have a flag for allowing sub-normal operations. Before this patch,
GCC only allows it using unsafe-math flags and LLVM allows it by default with
no way to turn it off (short of not using NEON at all).
As a first step, we push this change to make it safe and in sync with GCC.
The second step is to discuss a new sub-normal's flag on both communitues
and come up with a common solution. The third step is to improve the FastMath
flags in LLVM to encode sub-normals and use those flags to restrict NEON FP.
Fixes PR16275.

have a native instruction for -NUM. Notably, ARMv7 NEON's vmin has the

The problem is that the cost model here is not wrong, exactly. Since all of
these operations are scalarized, their cost (aside from the uniform ones) are
indeed VF*(scalar cost), just as the model suggests. In fact, the larger the VF
picked, the lower the relative overhead from the loop itself (and the
induction-variable update and check), and so in a sense, picking the largest VF
here is the right thing to do.
The problem is that vectorizing like this, where all of the vectors will be
scalarized in the backend, isn't really vectorizing, but rather interleaving.
By itself, this would be okay, but then the vectorizer itself also interleaves,
and that's where the problem manifests itself. There's aren't actually enough
scalar registers to support the normal interleave factor multiplied by a factor
of VF (8 in this example). In other words, the problem with this is that our
register-pressure heuristic does not account for scalarization.
While we might want to improve our register-pressure heuristic, I don't think
this is the right motivating case for that work. Here we have a more-basic
problem: The job of the vectorizer is to vectorize things (interleaving aside),
and if the IR it generates won't generate any actual vector code, then
something is wrong. Thus, if every type looks like it will be scalarized (i.e.
will be split into VF or more parts), then don't consider that VF.
This is not a problem specific to PPC/QPX, however. The problem comes up under
SSE on x86 too, and as such, this change fixes PR26837 too. I've added Sanjay's
reduced test case from PR26837 to this commit.

the vector loop if we versioned with memchecks. This can enable some
optimization opportunities further down the pipeline (see the included
test or the benchmark improvement quoted in D16712).
The test also covers the bug I had in the initial version in D16712.
The vectorizer did not previously use LoopVersioning. The reason is
that the vectorizer performs its transformations in single shot. It
creates an empty single-block vector loop that it then populates with
the widened, if-converted instructions. Thus creating an intermediate
versioned scalar loop seems wasteful.
So this patch (rather than bringing in LoopVersioning fully) adds a
special interface to LoopVersioning to allow the vectorizer to add
no-alias annotation while still performing its own versioning.
As the vectorizer propagates metadata from the instructions in the
original loop to the vector instructions we also check the pointer in
the original instruction and see if LoopVersioning can add no-alias
metadata based on the issued memchecks.

This was a latent bug that got exposed by the change to add LoopSimplify
as a dependence to LoopLoadElimination. Since LoopInfo was corrupted
after LV, LoopSimplify mis-compiled nbench in the test-suite (more
details in the PR).
The problem was that when we create the blocks for predicated stores we
didn't add those to any loops.
The original testcase for store predication provides coverage for this
assuming we verify LI on the way out of LV.
Fixes PR26952.
