This patch addresses the issue of SCEV division asserting on some
input expressions (e.g., non-affine expressions) and quietly giving
up on others. When giving up, we set the quotient to be equal to
zero and the remainder to be equal to the numerator. With this
patch, we always quietly give up when we cannot perform the
division.
This patch also adds a test case for DependenceAnalysis that
previously caused an assertion.

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.

This corner case happens when we have an irreducible SCC that is
deeply nested. As we work down the tree, the backedge masses start
getting smaller and smaller until we reach one that is down to 0.
Since we distribute the incoming mass using the backedge masses as
weight, the distributor does not allow zero weights. So, we simply
ignore them (which will just use the weights of the non-zero nodes).

Pre-P8, when we generate code for unaligned vector loads (for Altivec and QPX

consecutive such loads, there is at least one load instructions and one

permutes as well.

I'm adding a regression test to better cover code generation for unaligned
vector loads and stores, but there's no functional change to the code
generation here. There is an improvement to the cost model for unaligned vector
loads and stores, mostly for QPX (for which we were not previously accounting
for the permutation-based loads), and the cost model implementation is cleaner.

This commit reverts r245394, i.e., it reapplies r221876 while incorporating the
fixes from D11847.
r221876 was not reapplied alone because it was not safe and D11847 was not
applied alone because it needs r221876 to produce correct results.
This should fix PR24596.
Original commit message for r221876:
Let's try this again...
This reverts r219432, plus a bug fix.
Description of the bug in r219432 (by Nick):
The bug was using AllPositive to break out of the loop; if the loop break
condition i != e is changed to i != e && AllPositive then the
test_modulo_analysis_with_global test I've added will fail as the Modulo will
be calculated incorrectly (as the last loop iteration is skipped, so Modulo
isn't updated with its Scale).
Nick also adds this comment:
ComputeSignBit is safe to use in loops as it takes into account phi nodes, and
the == EK_ZeroEx check is safe in loops as, no matter how the variable changes
between iterations, zero-extensions will always guarantee a zero sign bit. The
isValueEqualInPotentialCycles check is therefore definitely not needed as all
the variable analysis holds no matter how the variables change between loop
iterations.
And this patch also adds another enhancement to GetLinearExpression - basically
to convert ConstantInts to Offsets (see test_const_eval and
test_const_eval_scaled for the situations this improves).
Original commit message:
This reverts r218944, which reverted r218714, plus a bug fix.
Description of the bug in r218714 (by Nick):
The original patch forgot to check if the Scale in VariableGEPIndex flipped the
sign of the variable. The BasicAA pass iterates over the instructions in the
order they appear in the function, and so BasicAliasAnalysis::aliasGEP is
called with the variable it first comes across as parameter GEP1. Adding a
%reorder label puts the definition of %a after %b so aliasGEP is called with %b
as the first parameter and %a as the second. aliasGEP later calculates that %a
== %b + 1 - %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0 (if %a was passed as the first
parameter it would calculate %b == %a - 1 + %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0) -
ignoring that %idxprom is scaled by -1 here lead the patch to incorrectly
conclude that %a > %b.
Revised patch by Nick White, thanks! Thanks to Lang to isolating the bug.
Slightly modified by me to add an early exit from the loop and avoid
unnecessary, but expensive, function calls.
Original commit message:
Two related things:
1. Fixes a bug when calculating the offset in GetLinearExpression. The code
previously used zext to extend the offset, so negative offsets were converted
to large positive ones.
2. Enhance aliasGEP to deduce that, if the difference between two GEP
allocations is positive and all the variables that govern the offset are also
positive (i.e. the offset is strictly after the higher base pointer), then
locations that fit in the gap between the two base pointers are NoAlias.
Patch by Nick White!
Message from D11847:
Un-revert of r241981 and fix for PR23626. The 'Or' case of GetLinearExpression
delegates to 'Add' if possible, and if not it returns an Opaque value.
Unfortunately the Scale and Offsets weren't being set (and so defaulted to 0) -
and a scale of zero effectively removes the variable from the GEP instruction.
This meant that BasicAA would return MustAliases when it should have been
returning PartialAliases (and PR23626 was an example of the GVN pass using an
incorrect MustAlias to merge loads from what should have been different
pointers).

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.

the requirement. This is done with a (very small) recursion through PHIs

Summary:
Make Scalar Evolution able to propagate NSW and NUW flags from instructions to SCEVs in some cases. This is based on reasoning about when poison from instructions with these flags would trigger undefined behavior. This gives a 13% speed-up on some Eigen3-based Google-internal microbenchmarks for NVPTX.
There does not seem to be clear agreement about when poison should be considered to propagate through instructions. In this analysis, poison propagates only in cases where that should be uncontroversial.
This change makes LSR able to create induction variables for expressions like &ptr[i + offset] for loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < limit; ++i) {
sum += ptr[i + offset];
}
Here ptr is a 64 bit pointer and offset is a 32 bit integer. For NVPTX, LSR currently creates an induction variable for i + offset instead, which is not as fast. Improving this situation is what brings the 13% speed-up on some Eigen3-based Google-internal microbenchmarks for NVPTX.

no-alias with non-addr-taken globals: they cannot alias a captured
pointer.
If the non-global underlying object would have been a capture were it to
alias the global, we can firmly conclude no-alias. It isn't reasonable
for a transformation to introduce a capture in a way observable by an
alias analysis. Consider, even if it were to temporarily capture one
globals address into another global and then restore the other global
afterward, there would be no way for the load in the alias query to
observe that capture event correctly. If it observes it then the
temporary capturing would have changed the meaning of the program,
making it an invalid transformation. Even instrumentation passes or
a pass which is synthesizing stores to global variables to expose race
conditions in programs could not trigger this unless it queried the
alias analysis infrastructure mid-transform, in which case it seems
reasonable to return results from before the transform started.
See the comments in the change for a more detailed outlining of the
theory here.
This should address the primary performance regression found when the
non-conservatively-correct path of the alias query was disabled.

This is effectively an NFC but we can no longer print the index of the

Summary:
This patch updates TargetTransformInfoImplCRTPBase::getGEPCost to consider

I started this patch as I refactored SLSR. Function isGEPFoldable looks common
and is indeed used by some WIP of mine. So I extracted that logic to getGEPCost.
Furthermore, I noticed getGEPCost wasn't directly tested anywhere. The best
testing bed seems CostModel, but its getInstructionCost method invokes
getAddressComputationCost for GEPs which provides very coarse estimation. So
this patch also makes getInstructionCost call the updated getGEPCost for GEPs.
This change inevitably breaks some tests because the cost model changes, but
nothing looks seriously wrong -- if we believe the new cost model is the right
way to go, these tests should be updated.
This patch is not perfect yet -- the comments in some tests need to be updated.
I want to know whether this is a right approach before fixing those details.

basic changes to the IR such as folding pointers through PHIs, Selects,
integer casts, store/load pairs, or outlining.
This leaves the feature available behind a flag. This flag's default
could be flipped if necessary, but the real-world performance impact of
this particular feature of GMR may not be sufficiently significant for
many folks to want to run the risk.
Currently, the risk here is somewhat mitigated by half-hearted attempts
to update GlobalsModRef when the rest of the optimizer changes
something. However, I am currently trying to remove that update
mechanism as it makes migrating the AA infrastructure to a form that can
be readily shared between new and old pass managers very challenging.
Without this update mechanism, it is possible that this still unlikely
failure mode will start to trip people, and so I wanted to try to
proactively avoid that.
There is a lengthy discussion on the mailing list about why the core
approach here is flawed, and likely would need to look totally different
to be both reasonably effective and resilient to basic IR changes
occuring. This patch is essentially the first of two which will enact
the result of that discussion. The next patch will remove the current
update mechanism.
Thanks to lots of folks that helped look at this from different angles.
Especial thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for doing some very prelimanary
benchmarking of LTO without GlobalsModRef to get a rough idea of the
impact we could be facing here. So far, it looks very small, but there
are some concerns lingering from other benchmarking. The default here
may get flipped if performance results end up pointing at this as a more
significant issue.

In aliasPHI, we can detect incoming values that are recursive GEPs with a

we now ignore it and instead set the size of the memory referenced by
the PHINode to UnknownSize. This represents all the possible memory
locations the pointer represented by the PHINode could be advanced to
by the GEP.
For now, this new behavior is turned off by default to allow debugging of
performance degradations seen with SPEC/x86 and Hexagon benchmarks.

llvm-svn: 241756
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
