A vpt block that just contains either VPST;VCTP or VPT;VCTP, once the
VCTP is removed will become invalid. This fixed the first by removing
the now empty block and bails out for the second, as we have no simple
way of converting a VPT to a VCMP.

We currently have problems with the way that low overhead loops are
specified, with LR being spilled between the t2LoopDec and the t2LoopEnd
forcing the entire loop to be reverted late in the backend. As they will
eventually become a single instruction, this patch introduces a
t2LoopEndDec which is the combination of the two, combined before
registry allocation to make sure this does not fail.
Unfortunately this instruction is a terminator that produces a value
(and also branches - it only produces the value around the branching
edge). So this needs some adjustment to phi elimination and the register
allocator to make sure that we do not spill this LR def around the loop
(needing to put a spill after the terminator). We treat the loop very
carefully, making sure that there is nothing else like calls that would
break it's ability to use LR. For that, this adds a
isUnspillableTerminator to opt in the new behaviour.
There is a chance that this could cause problems, and so I have added an
escape option incase. But I have not seen any problems in the testing
that I've tried, and not reverting Low overhead loops is important for
our performance. If this does work then we can hopefully do the same for
t2WhileLoopStart and t2DoLoopStart instructions.
This patch also contains the code needed to convert or revert the
t2LoopEndDec in the backend (which just needs a subs; bne) and the code
pre-ra to create them.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91358
This adds code to revert low overhead loops with calls in them before
register allocation. Ideally we would not create low overhead loops with
calls in them to begin with, but that can be difficult to always get
correct. If we want to try and glue together t2LoopDec and t2LoopEnd
into a single instruction, we need to ensure that no instructions use LR
in the loop. (Technically the final code can be better too, as it
doesn't need to use the same registers but that has not been optimized
for here, as reverting loops with calls is expected to be very rare).
It also adds a MVETailPredUtils.h header to share the revert code
between different passes, and provides a place to expand upon, with
RevertLoopWithCall becoming a place to perform other low overhead loop
alterations like removing copies or combining LoopDec and End into a
single instruction.

This introduces a new pseudo instruction, almost identical to a
t2DoLoopStart but taking 2 parameters - the original loop iteration
count needed for a low overhead loop, plus the VCTP element count needed
for a DLSTP instruction setting up a tail predicated loop. The idea is
that the instruction holds both values and the backend
ARMLowOverheadLoops pass can pick between the two, depending on whether
it creates a tail predicated loop or falls back to a low overhead loop.
To do that there needs to be something that converts a t2DoLoopStart to
a t2DoLoopStartTP, for which this patch repurposes the
MVEVPTOptimisationsPass as a "tail predication and vpt optimisation"
pass. The extra operand for the t2DoLoopStartTP is chosen based on the
operands of VCTP's in the loop, and the instruction is moved as late in
the block as possible to attempt to increase the likelihood of making
tail predicated loops.

This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

There were cases where a VCMP and a VPST were merged even if the VCMP
didn't have the same defs of its operands as the VPST. This is fixed by
adding RDA checks for the defs. This however gave rise to cases where
the new VPST created would precede the un-merged VCMP and so would fail
a predicate mask assertion since the VCMP wasn't predicated. This was
solved by converting the VCMP to a VPT instead of inserting the new
VPST.

This reverts commit 38f625d0d1.
This commit contains some holes in its logic and has been causing
issues since it was commited. The idea sounds OK but some cases were not
handled correctly. Instead of trying to fix that up later it is probably
simpler to revert it and work to reimplement it in a more reliable way.
There are a number of places in RDA where we assume the block will not
be empty. This isn't necessarily true for tail predicated loops where we
have removed instructions. This attempt to make the pass more resilient
to empty blocks, not casting pointers to machine instructions where they
would be invalid.
The test contains a case that was previously failing, but recently been
hidden on trunk. It contains an empty block to begin with to show a
similar error.

The VPTBlock has been modified to track the 'global' state of the
VPR, as well as the state for each block. Each object now just holds
a list of instructions that makeup the block, while static structures
hold the predicate information. This enables global access for
querying how both a VPT block and individual instructions are
predicated. These changes now allow us, again, to handle more
complicated cases where multiple instructions build a predicate
and/or where the same predicate in used in multiple blocks.
It doesn't, however, get us back to before the tracking was 'fixed'
as some extra logic will be required to properly handle VPT
instructions. Currently a VPT could be effectively predicated because
of it's inputs, but the existing logic will not detect that and so
will refuse to perform the transformation. This can be seen in
remat-vctp.ll test where we still don't perform the transform.

After my patch at D86087, code that now uses the mov operand rather than
the vctp operand will no longer remove modifications to the vctp operand
as they should. This patch fixes that by explicitly removing
modifications to the vctp operand rather than the register used as the
element count.
Remove the code that tried to look for reduction patterns, since the
vectorizer and isel can now produce predicated arithmetic instructios
within the loop body. This has required some reorganisation and fixes
around live-out and predication checks, as well as looking for cases
where an input/output is initialised to zero.

VLD2/4 instructions cannot be predicated, so we cannot tail predicate
them from autovec. From intrinsics though, they should be valid as they
will just end up loading extra values into off vector lanes, not
effecting the on lanes. The same is true for loads in general where so
long as we are not using the other vector lanes, an unpredicated load
can be converted to a predicated one.
This marks VLD2 and VLD4 instructions as validForTailPredication and
allows any unpredicated load in tail predication loop, which seems to be
valid given the other checks we have.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D86022
There are some cases where the instruction that sets up the iteration

While validating live-out values, record instructions that look like
a reduction. This will comprise of a vector op (for now only vadd),
a vorr (vmov) which store the previous value of vadd and then a vpsel
in the exit block which is predicated upon a vctp. This vctp will
combine the last two iterations using the vmov and vadd into a vector
which can then be consumed by a vaddv.
Once we have determined that it's safe to perform tail-predication,
we need to change this sequence of instructions so that the
predication doesn't produce incorrect code. This involves changing
the register allocation of the vadd so it updates itself and the
predication on the final iteration will not update the falsely
predicated lanes. This mimics what the vmov, vctp and vpsel do and
so we then don't need any of those instructions.

getARMVPTBlockMask was an outdated function that only handled basic
block masks: T, TT, TTT and TTTT. This worked fine before the MVE
VPT Block Insertion Pass improvements as it was the only kind of
masks that it could generate, but now it can generate more complex
masks that uses E predicates, so it's dangerous to use that function
to calculate VPT/VPST block masks.
I replaced it with 2 different functions:
- expandPredBlockMask, in ARMBaseInfo. This adds an "E" or "T" at
the end of an existing PredBlockMask.
- recomputeVPTBlockMask, in Thumb2InstrInfo. This takes an iterator
to a VPT/VPST instruction and recomputes its block mask by looking
at the predicated instructions that follows it. This should be
used to recompute a block mask after removing/adding a predicated
instruction to the block.
The expandPredBlockMask function is pretty much imported from the MVE
VPT Blocks pass.
I had to change the ARMLowOverheadLoops and MVEVPTBlocks passes as well
so they could use these new functions.

This adds some extra processing into the Pre-RA ARM load/store optimizer
to detect and merge MVE loads/stores and adds of the same base. This we
don't always turn into a post-inc during ISel, and due to the nature of
it being a graph we don't always know an order to use for the nodes, not
knowing which nodes to make post-inc and which to use the new post-inc
of. After ISel, we have an order that we can use to post-inc the
following instructions.
So this looks for a loads/store with a starting offset of 0, and an
add/sub from the same base, plus a number of other loads/stores. We then
do some checks and convert the zero offset load/store into a postinc
variant. Any loads/stores after it have the offset subtracted from their
immediates. For example:
LDR #4 LDR #4
LDR #0 LDR_POSTINC #16
LDR #8 LDR #-8
LDR #12 LDR #-4
ADD #16
It only handles MVE loads/stores at the moment. Normal loads/store will
be added in a followup patch, they just have some extra details to
ensure that we keep generating LDRD/LDM successfully.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D76766
Modify ValidateLiveOuts to track 'FalseLaneZeros' more precisely,
including checks on specific operations that can generate non-zeros
from zero values, e.g VMVN. We can then check that any instructions
that retain some information in their output register (all narrowing
instructions) that they only use and def registers that always have
zeros in their falsely predicated bytes, whether or not tail
predication happens.
Most of the logic remains the same, just the names of the data
structures and helpers have been renamed to reflect the change in
logic. The key change, apart from the opcode checkers, is that the
FalseZeros set now strictly contains only instructions which will
always generate zeros, and not instructions that could also have
their false bytes masked away later.
