Adam Nemet 12937c361f [LoopUnroll] Include hotness of region in opt remark
LoopUnroll is a loop pass, so the analysis of OptimizationRemarkEmitter
is added to the common function analysis passes that loop passes
depend on.

The BFI and indirectly BPI used in this pass is computed lazily so no
overhead should be observed unless -pass-remarks-with-hotness is used.

This is how the patch affects the O3 pipeline:

Justin Lebar 6827de19b2 [LoopUnroll] Respect the convergent attribute.
Summary:
Specifically, when we perform runtime loop unrolling of a loop that
contains a convergent op, we can only unroll k times, where k divides
the loop trip multiple.

Without this change, we'll happily unroll e.g. the following loop

  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
    if (i == 0) convergent_op();
    foo();
  }

into

  int i = 0;
  if (N % 2 == 1) {
    convergent_op();
    foo();
    ++i;
  }
  for (; i < N - 1; i += 2) {
    if (i == 0) convergent_op();
    foo();
    foo();
  }.

This is unsafe, because we've just added a control-flow dependency to
the convergent op in the prelude.

In general, runtime unrolling loops that contain convergent ops is safe
only if we don't have emit a prelude, which occurs when the unroll count
divides the trip multiple.

Michael Zolotukhin de19ed1eb1 [LoopUnroll] Avoid unnecessary DT recomputation.
Summary:
When we completely unroll a loop, it's pretty easy to update DT in-place and
thus avoid rebuilding it. DT recalculation is one of the most time-consuming
tasks in loop-unroll, so avoiding it at least in case of full unroll should be
beneficial.

On some extreme (but still real-world) tests this patch improves compile time by
~2x.

Justin Bogner e9fb228d59 LoopInfo: Simplify ownership of Loop objects
It's strange that LoopInfo mostly owns the Loop objects, but that it
defers deleting them to the loop pass manager. Instead, change the
oddly named "updateUnloop" to "markAsRemoved" and have it queue the
Loop object for deletion. We can't delete the Loop immediately when we
remove it, since we need its pointer identity still, so we'll mark the
object as "invalid" so that clients can see what's going on.

As of r255720, the loop pass manager will DTRT when passes update the
loop info for removed loops, so they no longer need to reach into
LPPassManager APIs to do this kind of transformation. This change very

loop passes - the only remaining pass that uses the LPM argument is
LoopUnswitch.

Justin Bogner 843fb204b7 LPM: Stop threading `Pass *` through all of the loop utility APIs. NFC
A large number of loop utility functions take a `Pass *` and reach
into it to find out which analyses to preserve. There are a number of
problems with this:

- The APIs have access to pretty well any Pass state they want, so
  it's hard to tell what they may or may not do.

- Other APIs have copied these and pass around a `Pass *` even though
  they don't even use it. Some of these just hand a nullptr to the API
  since the callers don't even have a pass available.

- Passes in the new pass manager don't work like the current ones, so
  the APIs can't be used as is there.

Instead, we should explicitly thread the analysis results that we
actually care about through these APIs. This is both simpler and more
reusable.

Michael Zolotukhin 927bdba29d [PR25538]: Fix a failure caused by r253126.
In r253126 we stopped to recompute LCSSA after loop unrolling in all
cases, except the unrolling is full and at least one of the loop exits
is outside the parent loop. In other cases the transformation should not
break LCSSA, but it turned out, that we also call SimplifyLoop on the
parent loop, which might break LCSSA by itself. This fix just triggers
LCSSA recomputation in this case as well.

I'm committing it without a test case for now, but I'll try to invent
one. It's a bit tricky because in an isolated test LoopSimplify would
be scheduled before LoopUnroll, and thus will change the test and hide
the problem.

Michael Zolotukhin 8ef44f93ca Don't recompute LCSSA after loop-unrolling when possible.
Summary:
Currently we always recompute LCSSA for outer loops after unrolling an
inner loop. That leads to compile time problem when we have big loop
nests, and we can solve it by avoiding unnecessary work. For instance,
if w eonly do partial unrolling, we don't break LCSSA, so we don't need
to rebuild it. Also, if all exits from the inner loop are inside the
enclosing loop, then complete unrolling won't break LCSSA either.

I replaced unconditional LCSSA recomputation with conditional recomputation +
unconditional assert and added several tests, which were failing when I
experimented with it.

Soon I plan to follow up with a similar patch for recalculation of dominators
tree.

Chandler Carruth 2f1fd1658f [PM] Port ScalarEvolution to the new pass manager.
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.

Mehdi Amini a28d91d81b DataLayout is mandatory, update the API to reflect it with references.
Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.

This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.

I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.

I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

Chandler Carruth 66b3130cda [PM] Split the AssumptionTracker immutable pass into two separate APIs:
a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.

The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.

Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.

For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

the header of L2. Thus, when we create PHIs in one of such exits we are
also inserting PHIs in L2 header.

This could break LCSSA form for L2 because these inserted PHIs can also
have uses in L2 exits, which are never handled in the current
implementation. Provide a fix for this corner case and test that we
don't assert/crash on that.

David Blaikie 70573dcd9f Update SetVector to rely on the underlying set's insert to return a pair<iterator, bool>
This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.

This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith c46cfcbbc6 LoopUnroll: Create sub-loops in LoopInfo
`LoopUnrollPass` says that it preserves `LoopInfo` -- make it so.  In
particular, tell `LoopInfo` about copies of inner loops when unrolling
the outer loop.

Conservatively, also tell `ScalarEvolution` to forget about the original
versions of these loops, since their inputs may have changed.

Fixes PR20987.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 9b4d37e8f5 LoopUnroll: Only check for ScalarEvolution analysis once, NFC
A follow-up commit will add use to a tight loop.  We might as well just
find it once anyway.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith e5d7d9797b LoopUnroll: Change code order of changes to new basic blocks
Add new basic blocks to `LoopInfo` earlier.  No functionality change
intended (simplifies upcoming bugfix patch).

Hal Finkel 60db05896a Make use of @llvm.assume in ValueTracking (computeKnownBits, etc.)
This change, which allows @llvm.assume to be used from within computeKnownBits
(and other associated functions in ValueTracking), adds some (optional)
parameters to computeKnownBits and friends. These functions now (optionally)
take a "context" instruction pointer, an AssumptionTracker pointer, and also a
DomTree pointer, and most of the changes are just to pass this new information
when it is easily available from InstSimplify, InstCombine, etc.

As explained below, the significant conceptual change is that known properties
of a value might depend on the control-flow location of the use (because we
care that the @llvm.assume dominates the use because assumptions have
control-flow dependencies). This means that, when we ask if bits are known in a
value, we might get different answers for different uses.

The significant changes are all in ValueTracking. Two main changes: First, as
with the rest of the code, new parameters need to be passed around. To make
this easier, I grouped them into a structure, and I made internal static
versions of the relevant functions that take this structure as a parameter. The
new code does as you might expect, it looks for @llvm.assume calls that make
use of the value we're trying to learn something about (often indirectly),
attempts to pattern match that expression, and uses the result if successful.
By making use of the AssumptionTracker, the process of finding @llvm.assume
calls is not expensive.

Part of the structure being passed around inside ValueTracking is a set of
already-considered @llvm.assume calls. This is to prevent a query using, for
example, the assume(a == b), to recurse on itself. The context and DT params
are used to find applicable assumptions. An assumption needs to dominate the
context instruction, or come after it deterministically. In this latter case we
only handle the specific case where both the assumption and the context
instruction are in the same block, and we need to exclude assumptions from
being used to simplify their own ephemeral values (those which contribute only
to the assumption) because otherwise the assumption would prove its feeding
comparison trivial and would be removed.

This commit adds the plumbing and the logic for a simple masked-bit propagation
(just enough to write a regression test). Future commits add more patterns
(and, correspondingly, more regression tests).
