Functional change: Previously, if a callee is cold, we used ColdThreshold if it minimizes the existing threshold. This was irrespective of whether we were optimizing for minsize (-Oz) or not. But -Oz uses very low threshold to begin with and the inlining with -Oz is expected to be tuned for lowering code size, so there is no good reason to set an even lower threshold for cold callees. We now lower the threshold for cold callees only when -Oz is not used. For default values of -inlinethreshold and -inlinecold-threshold, this change has no effect and this simplifies the code.
NFC changes: Group all threshold updates that are guarded by !Caller->optForMinSize() and within that group threshold updates that require profile summary info.

This doesn't implement *every* feature of the existing inliner, but
tries to implement the most important ones for building a functional
optimization pipeline and beginning to sort out bugs, regressions, and
other problems.
Notable, but intentional omissions:
- No alloca merging support. Why? Because it isn't clear we want to do
this at all. Active discussion and investigation is going on to remove
it, so for simplicity I omitted it.
- No support for trying to iterate on "internally" devirtualized calls.
Why? Because it adds what I suspect is inappropriate coupling for
little or no benefit. We will have an outer iteration system that
tracks devirtualization including that from function passes and
iterates already. We should improve that rather than approximate it
here.
- Optimization remarks. Why? Purely to make the patch smaller, no other
reason at all.
The last one I'll probably work on almost immediately. But I wanted to
skip it in the initial patch to try to focus the change as much as
possible as there is already a lot of code moving around and both of
these *could* be skipped without really disrupting the core logic.
A summary of the different things happening here:
1) Adding the usual new PM class and rigging.
2) Fixing minor underlying assumptions in the inline cost analysis or
inline logic that don't generally hold in the new PM world.
3) Adding the core pass logic which is in essence a loop over the calls
in the nodes in the call graph. This is a bit duplicated from the old
inliner, but only a handful of lines could realistically be shared.
(I tried at first, and it really didn't help anything.) All told,
this is only about 100 lines of code, and most of that is the
mechanics of wiring up analyses from the new PM world.
4) Updating the LazyCallGraph (in the new PM) based on the *newly
inlined* calls and references. This is very minimal because we cannot
form cycles.
5) When inlining removes the last use of a function, eagerly nuking the
body of the function so that any "one use remaining" inline cost
heuristics are immediately refined, and queuing these functions to be
completely deleted once inlining is complete and the call graph
updated to reflect that they have become dead.
6) After all the inlining for a particular function, updating the
LazyCallGraph and the CGSCC pass manager to reflect the
function-local simplifications that are done immediately and
internally by the inline utilties. These are the exact same
fundamental set of CG updates done by arbitrary function passes.
7) Adding a bunch of test cases to specifically target CGSCC and other
subtle aspects in the new PM world.
Many thanks to the careful review from Easwaran and Sanjoy and others!

When calculating the cost of a call instruction we were applying a heuristic penalty as well as the cost of the instruction itself.
However, when calculating the benefit from inlining we weren't discounting the equivalent penalty for the call instruction that would be removed! This caused skew in the calculation and meant we wouldn't inline in the following, trivial case:
int g() {
h();
}
int f() {
g();
}

Conveniently, this same change was needed for D21921 and so these
changes are just spun out from there.
llvm-svn: 276515
Summary:
For sample-based PGO, using BFI to calculate callsite count is sometime not accurate. This is because with sampling based approach, if a callsite resides in a hot loop deeply nested in a bunch of cold branches, the callsite's BFI frequency would be inaccurately calculated due to lack of samples in the cold branch.
E.g.
if (A1 && A2 && A3 && ..... && A10) {
for (i=0; i < 100000000; i++) {
callsite();
}
}
Assume that A1 to A100 are all 100% taken, and callsite has 1000 samples and thus is considerred hot. Because the loop's trip count is huge, it's normal that all branches outside the loop has no sample at all. As a result, we can only use static branch probability to derive the the frequency of the loop header. Assuming that static heuristic thinks each branch is 50% taken, then the count calculated from BFI will be 1/(2^10) of the actual value.
In order to get more accurate callsite count, we directly annotate the weight on the call instruction, and directly use it when checking callsite hotness.
Note that this mechanism can also be shared by instrumentation based callsite hotness analysis. The side benefit is that it breaks the dependency from Inliner to BFI as call count is embedded in the IR.

Before r257832, the threshold used by SimpleInliner was explicitly specified or generated from opt levels and passed to the base class Inliner's constructor.

This intrinsic takes two arguments, ``%ptr`` and ``%offset``. It loads
a 32-bit value from the address ``%ptr + %offset``, adds ``%ptr`` to that
value and returns it. The constant folder specifically recognizes the form of
this intrinsic and the constant initializers it may load from; if a loaded
constant initializer is known to have the form ``i32 trunc(x - %ptr)``,
the intrinsic call is folded to ``x``.
LLVM provides that the calculation of such a constant initializer will
not overflow at link time under the medium code model if ``x`` is an
``unnamed_addr`` function. However, it does not provide this guarantee for
a constant initializer folded into a function body. This intrinsic can be
used to avoid the possibility of overflows when loading from such a constant.

Summary:
Fixes PR26774.
If you're aware of the issue, feel free to skip the "Motivation"
section and jump directly to "This patch".
Motivation:
I define "refinement" as discarding behaviors from a program that the
optimizer has license to discard. So transforming:
```
void f(unsigned x) {
unsigned t = 5 / x;
(void)t;
}
```
to
```
void f(unsigned x) { }
```
is refinement, since the behavior went from "if x == 0 then undefined
else nothing" to "nothing" (the optimizer has license to discard
undefined behavior).
Refinement is a fundamental aspect of many mid-level optimizations done
by LLVM. For instance, transforming `x == (x + 1)` to `false` also
involves refinement since the expression's value went from "if x is
`undef` then { `true` or `false` } else { `false` }" to "`false`" (by
definition, the optimizer has license to fold `undef` to any non-`undef`
value).
Unfortunately, refinement implies that the optimizer cannot assume
that the implementation of a function it can see has all of the
behavior an unoptimized or a differently optimized version of the same
function can have. This is a problem for functions with comdat
linkage, where a function can be replaced by an unoptimized or a
differently optimized version of the same source level function.
For instance, FunctionAttrs cannot assume a comdat function is
actually `readnone` even if it does not have any loads or stores in
it; since there may have been loads and stores in the "original
function" that were refined out in the currently visible variant, and
at the link step the linker may in fact choose an implementation with
a load or a store. As an example, consider a function that does two
atomic loads from the same memory location, and writes to memory only
if the two values are not equal. The optimizer is allowed to refine
this function by first CSE'ing the two loads, and the folding the
comparision to always report that the two values are equal. Such a
refined variant will look like it is `readonly`. However, the
unoptimized version of the function can still write to memory (since
the two loads //can// result in different values), and selecting the
unoptimized version at link time will retroactively invalidate
transforms we may have done under the assumption that the function
does not write to memory.
Note: this is not just a problem with atomics or with linking
differently optimized object files. See PR26774 for more realistic
examples that involved neither.
This patch:
This change introduces a new set of linkage types, predicated as
`GlobalValue::mayBeDerefined` that returns true if the linkage type
allows a function to be replaced by a differently optimized variant at
link time. It then changes a set of IPO passes to bail out if they see
such a function.

Summary:
If the normal destination of the invoke or the parent block of the call site is unreachable-terminated, there is little point in inlining the call site unless there is literally zero cost. Unlike my previous change (D15289), this change specifically handle the call sites followed by unreachable in the same basic block for call or in the normal destination for the invoke. This change could be a reasonable first step to conservatively inline call sites leading to an unreachable-terminated block while BFI / BPI is not yet available in inliner.

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.

Summary:
WinEHPrepare is going to require that cleanuppad and catchpad produce values
of token type which are consumed by any cleanupret or catchret exiting the
pad. This change updates the signatures of those operators to require/enforce
that the type produced by the pads is token type and that the rets have an
appropriate argument.
The catchpad argument of a `CatchReturnInst` must be a `CatchPadInst` (and
similarly for `CleanupReturnInst`/`CleanupPadInst`). To accommodate that
restriction, this change adds a notion of an operator constraint to both
LLParser and BitcodeReader, allowing appropriate sentinels to be constructed
for forward references and appropriate error messages to be emitted for
illegal inputs.
Also add a verifier rule (noted in LangRef) that a catchpad with a catchpad
predecessor must have no other predecessors; this ensures that WinEHPrepare
will see the expected linear relationship between sibling catches on the
same try.
Lastly, remove some superfluous/vestigial casts from instruction operand
setters operating on BasicBlocks.

propagating one of the values it simplified to a constant across
a myriad of instructions. Notably, ptrtoint instructions when we had
a constant pointer (say, 0) didn't propagate that, blocking a massive
number of down-stream optimizations.
This was uncovered when investigating why we fail to inline and delete
the boilerplate in:
void f() {
std::vector<int> v;
v.push_back(1);
}
It turns out most of the efforts I've made thus far to improve the
analysis weren't making it far purely because of this. After this is
fixed, the store-to-load forwarding patch enables LLVM to optimize the
above to an empty function. We still can't nuke a second push_back, but
for different reasons.

how to propagate constants through insert and extract value
instructions.
With the recent improvements to instsimplify, this allows inline cost
analysis to constant fold through intrinsic functions, including notably
the with.overflow intrinsic math routines which often show up inside of
STL abstractions. This is yet another piece in the puzzle of breaking
down the code for:
void f() {
std::vector<int> v;
v.push_back(1);
}
But it still isn't enough. There are a pile of bugs in inline cost still
blocking this.

r165941: Resubmit the changes to llvm core to update the functions to
support different pointer sizes on a per address space basis.
Despite this commit log, this change primarily changed stuff outside of
VMCore, and those changes do not carry any tests for correctness (or
even plausibility), and we have consistently found questionable or flat
out incorrect cases in these changes. Most of them are probably correct,
but we need to devise a system that makes it more clear when we have
handled the address space concerns correctly, and ideally each pass that
gets updated would receive an accompanying test case that exercises that
pass specificaly w.r.t. alternate address spaces.
However, from this commit, I have retained the new C API entry points.
Those were an orthogonal change that probably should have been split
apart, but they seem entirely good.
In several places the changes were very obvious cleanups with no actual
multiple address space code added; these I have not reverted when
I spotted them.
In a few other places there were merge conflicts due to a cleaner
solution being implemented later, often not using address spaces at all.
In those cases, I've preserved the new code which isn't address space
dependent.
This is part of my ongoing effort to clean out the partial address space
code which carries high risk and low test coverage, and not likely to be

These commits also contained several problems that should really be

cleanups to the DataLayout APIs that are reasonable to have moving

conflicts and manually arranged for the getIntPtrType function to stay

llvm-svn: 165488
Without this change, when the estimated cost for inlining a function with
an "alwaysinline" attribute was lower than the inlining threshold, the
getInlineCost function was returning that estimated cost rather than the
special InlineCost::AlwaysInlineCost value. That is fine in the normal
inlining case, but it can fail when the inliner considers the opportunity
cost of inlining into an internal or linkonce-odr function. It may decide
not to inline the always-inline function in that case. The fix here is just
to make getInlineCost always return the special value for always-inline
functions. I ran into this building clang with libc++. Tablegen failed to
link because of an always-inline function that was not inlined. I have been
unable to reduce the testcase down to a reasonable size.

We give a bonus for every argument because the argument setup is not needed
anymore when the function is inlined. With this patch we interpret byval
arguments as a compact representation of many arguments. The byval argument
setup is implemented in the backend as an inline memcpy, so to model the
cost as accurately as possible we take the number of pointer-sized elements
in the byval argument and give a bonus of 2 instructions for every one of
those. The bonus is capped at 8 elements, which is the number of stores
at which the x86 backend switches from an expanded inline memcpy to a real
memcpy. It would be better to use the real memcpy threshold from the backend,
but it's not available via TargetData.
This change brings the performance of c-ray in line with gcc 4.7. The included
test case tries to reproduce the c-ray problem to catch regressions for this
benchmark early, its performance is dominated by the inline decision of a
specific call.
This only has a small impact on most code, more on x86 and arm than on x86_64
due to the way the ABI works. When building LLVM for x86 it gives a small
inline cost boost to virtually any function using StringRef or STL allocators,
but only a 0.01% increase in overall binary size. The size of gcc compiled by
clang actually shrunk by a couple bytes with this patch applied, but not
significantly.

minor behavior changes with this, but nothing I have seen evidence of in
the wild or expect to be meaningful. The real goal is unifying our logic
and simplifying the interfaces. A summary of the changes follows:
- Make 'callIsSmall' actually accept a callsite so it can handle
intrinsics, and simplify callers appropriately.
- Nuke a completely bogus declaration of 'callIsSmall' that was still
lurking in InlineCost.h... No idea how this got missed.
- Teach the 'isInstructionFree' about the various more intelligent
'free' heuristics that got added to the inline cost analysis during
review and testing. This mostly surrounds int->ptr and ptr->int casts.
- Switch most of the interesting parts of the inline cost analysis that
were essentially computing 'is this instruction free?' to use the code
metrics routine instead. This way we won't keep duplicating logic.
All of this is motivated by the desire to allow other passes to compute
a roughly equivalent 'cost' metric for a particular basic block as the
inline cost analysis. Sadly, re-using the same analysis for both is
really messy because only the actual inline cost analysis is ever going
to go to the contortions required for simplification, SROA analysis,
etc.

interfaces. These methods were used in the old inline cost system where
there was a persistent cache that had to be updated, invalidated, and
cleared. We're now doing more direct computations that don't require
this intricate dance. Even if we resume some level of caching, it would
almost certainly have a simpler and more narrow interface than this.

on a per-callsite walk of the called function's instructions, in
breadth-first order over the potentially reachable set of basic blocks.
This is a major shift in how inline cost analysis works to improve the
accuracy and rationality of inlining decisions. A brief outline of the
algorithm this moves to:
- Build a simplification mapping based on the callsite arguments to the
function arguments.
- Push the entry block onto a worklist of potentially-live basic blocks.
- Pop the first block off of the *front* of the worklist (for
breadth-first ordering) and walk its instructions using a custom
InstVisitor.
- For each instruction's operands, re-map them based on the
simplification mappings available for the given callsite.
- Compute any simplification possible of the instruction after
re-mapping, and store that back int othe simplification mapping.
- Compute any bonuses, costs, or other impacts of the instruction on the
cost metric.
- When the terminator is reached, replace any conditional value in the
terminator with any simplifications from the mapping we have, and add
any successors which are not proven to be dead from these
simplifications to the worklist.
- Pop the next block off of the front of the worklist, and repeat.
- As soon as the cost of inlining exceeds the threshold for the
callsite, stop analyzing the function in order to bound cost.
The primary goal of this algorithm is to perfectly handle dead code
paths. We do not want any code in trivially dead code paths to impact
inlining decisions. The previous metric was *extremely* flawed here, and
would always subtract the average cost of two successors of
a conditional branch when it was proven to become an unconditional
branch at the callsite. There was no handling of wildly different costs
between the two successors, which would cause inlining when the path
actually taken was too large, and no inlining when the path actually
taken was trivially simple. There was also no handling of the code
*path*, only the immediate successors. These problems vanish completely
now. See the added regression tests for the shiny new features -- we
skip recursive function calls, SROA-killing instructions, and high cost
complex CFG structures when dead at the callsite being analyzed.
Switching to this algorithm required refactoring the inline cost
interface to accept the actual threshold rather than simply returning
a single cost. The resulting interface is pretty bad, and I'm planning
to do lots of interface cleanup after this patch.
Several other refactorings fell out of this, but I've tried to minimize
them for this patch. =/ There is still more cleanup that can be done
here. Please point out anything that you see in review.
I've worked really hard to try to mirror at least the spirit of all of
the previous heuristics in the new model. It's not clear that they are
all correct any more, but I wanted to minimize the change in this single
patch, it's already a bit ridiculous. One heuristic that is *not* yet
mirrored is to allow inlining of functions with a dynamic alloca *if*
the caller has a dynamic alloca. I will add this back, but I think the
most reasonable way requires changes to the inliner itself rather than
just the cost metric, and so I've deferred this for a subsequent patch.
The test case is XFAIL-ed until then.
As mentioned in the review mail, this seems to make Clang run about 1%
to 2% faster in -O0, but makes its binary size grow by just under 4%.
I've looked into the 4% growth, and it can be fixed, but requires
changes to other parts of the inliner.

directly query the function information which this set was representing.
This simplifies the interface of the inline cost analysis, and makes the
always-inline pass significantly more efficient.
Previously, always-inline would first make a single set of every
function in the module *except* those marked with the always-inline
attribute. It would then query this set at every call site to see if the
function was a member of the set, and if so, refuse to inline it. This
is quite wasteful. Instead, simply check the function attribute directly
when looking at the callsite.
The normal inliner also had similar redundancy. It added every function
in the module with the noinline attribute to its set to ignore, even
though inside the cost analysis function we *already tested* the
noinline attribute and produced the same result.
The only tricky part of removing this is that we have to be able to
correctly remove only the functions inlined by the always-inline pass
when finalizing, which requires a bit of a hack. Still, much less of
a hack than the set of all non-always-inline functions was. While I was
touching this function, I switched a heavy-weight set to a vector with
sort+unique. The algorithm already had a two-phase insert and removal
pattern, we were just needlessly paying the uniquing cost on every
insert.
This probably speeds up some compiles by a small amount (-O0 compiles
with lots of always-inline, so potentially heavy libc++ users), but I've
not tried to measure it.
I believe there is no functional change here, but yell if you spot one.
None are intended.
Finally, the direction this is going in is to greatly simplify the
inline cost query interface so that we can replace its implementation
with a much more clever one. Along the way, all the APIs get simplified,
so it seems incrementally good.

analysis implementation. The header was already separated. Also cleanup
all the comments in the header to follow a nice modern doxygen form.
There is still plenty of cruft here, but some of that will fall out in
subsequent refactorings and this was an easy step in the right
direction. No functionality changed here.
