ScalarEvolution in the presence of multiple exits. Previously all
loops exits had to have identical counts for a loop trip count to be
considered computable. This pessimization was implemented by calling
getBackedgeTakenCount(L) rather than getExitCount(L, ExitingBlock)
inside of ScalarEvolution::getSmallConstantTripCount() (see the FIXME
in the comments of that function). The pessimization was added to fix
a corner case involving undefined behavior (pr/16130). This patch more
precisely handles the undefined behavior case allowing the pessimization
to be removed.
ControlsExit replaces IsSubExpr to more precisely track the case where
undefined behavior is expected to occur. Because undefined behavior is
tracked more precisely we can remove MustExit from ExitLimit. MustExit
was used to track the case where the limit was computed potentially
assuming undefined behavior even if undefined behavior didn't necessarily
occur.

`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.

Runtime unrolling will create a prologue to execute the extra
iterations which is can't divided by the unroll factor. It
generates an if-then-else sequence to jump into a factor -1
times unrolled loop body, like
extraiters = tripcount % loopfactor
if (extraiters == 0) jump Loop:
if (extraiters == loopfactor) jump L1
if (extraiters == loopfactor-1) jump L2
...
L1: LoopBody;
L2: LoopBody;
...
if tripcount < loopfactor jump End
Loop:
...
End:
It means if the unroll factor is 4, the loop body will be 7
times unrolled, 3 are in loop prologue, and 4 are in the loop.
This commit is to use a loop to execute the extra iterations
in prologue, like
extraiters = tripcount % loopfactor
if (extraiters == 0) jump Loop:
else jump Prol
Prol: LoopBody;
extraiters -= 1 // Omitted if unroll factor is 2.
if (extraiters != 0) jump Prol: // Omitted if unroll factor is 2.
if (tripcount < loopfactor) jump End
Loop:
...
End:
Then when unroll factor is 4, the loop body will be copied by
only 5 times, 1 in the prologue loop, 4 in the original loop.
And if the unroll factor is 2, new loop won't be created, just
as the original solution.

The annotation instructions are dropped during codegen and have no
impact on size. In some cases, the annotations were preventing the
unroller from unrolling a loop because the annotation calls were
pushing the cost over the unrolling threshold.

This adds a set of utility functions for collecting 'ephemeral' values. These
are LLVM IR values that are used only by @llvm.assume intrinsics (directly or
indirectly), and thus will be removed prior to code generation, implying that
they should be considered free for certain purposes (like inlining). The
inliner's cost analysis, and a few other passes, have been updated to account
for ephemeral values using the provided functionality.
This functionality is important for the usability of @llvm.assume, because it
limits the "non-local" side-effects of adding llvm.assume on inlining, loop
unrolling, etc. (these are hints, and do not generate code, so they should not
directly contribute to estimates of execution cost).
llvm-svn: 217335
hint) the loop unroller replaces the llvm.loop.unroll.count metadata with
llvm.loop.unroll.disable metadata to prevent any subsequent unrolling
passes from unrolling more than the hint indicates. This patch fixes
an issue where loop unrolling could be disabled for other loops as well which
share the same llvm.loop metadata.

[LLVM part]
These patches rename the loop unrolling and loop vectorizer metadata
such that they have a common 'llvm.loop.' prefix. Metadata name
changes:
llvm.vectorizer.* => llvm.loop.vectorizer.*
llvm.loopunroll.* => llvm.loop.unroll.*
This was a suggestion from an earlier review
(http://reviews.llvm.org/D4090) which added the loop unrolling
metadata.

During loop-unroll, loop exits from the current loop may end up in in different
outer loop. This requires to re-form LCSSA recursively for one level down from
the outer most loop where loop exits are landed during unroll. This fixes PR18861.

The old method used by X86TTI to determine partial-unrolling thresholds was
messy (because it worked by testing target features), and also would not
correctly identify the target CPU if certain target features were disabled.
After some discussions on IRC with Chandler et al., it was decided that the
processor scheduling models were the right containers for this information
(because it is often tied to special uop dispatch-buffer sizes).
This does represent a small functionality change:
- For generic x86-64 (which uses the SB model and, thus, will get some
unrolling).
- For AMD cores (because they still currently use the SB scheduling model)
- For Haswell (based on benchmarking by Louis Gerbarg, it was decided to bump
the default threshold to 50; we're working on a test case for this).
Otherwise, nothing has changed for any other targets. The logic, however, has
been moved into BasicTTI, so other targets may now also opt-in to this
functionality simply by setting LoopMicroOpBufferSize in their processor
model definitions.
llvm-svn: 208289
Otherwise we use the same threshold as for complete unrolling, which is
way too high. This made us unroll any loop smaller than 150 instructions
by 8 times, but only if someone specified -march=core2 or better,
which happens to be the default on darwin.

This patch changes the vectorization remarks to also inform when
vectorization is possible but not beneficial.
Added tests to exercise some loop remarks.

This provides an initial implementation of getUnrollingPreferences for x86.
getUnrollingPreferences is used by the generic (concatenation) unroller, which
is distinct from the unrolling done by the loop vectorizer. Many modern x86
cores have some kind of uop cache and loop-stream detector (LSD) used to
efficiently dispatch small loops, and taking full advantage of this requires
unrolling small loops (small here means 10s of uops).
These caches also have limits on the number of taken branches in the loop, and
so we also cap the loop unrolling factor based on the maximum "depth" of the
loop. This is currently calculated with a partial DFS traversal (partial
because it will stop early if the path length grows too much). This is still an
approximation, and one that is both conservative (because it does not account
for branches eliminated via block placement) and optimistic (because it is only
recording the maximum depth over minimum paths). Nevertheless, because the
loops that fit in these uop caches are so small, it is not clear how much the
details matter.
The original set of patches posted for review produced the following test-suite
performance results (from the TSVC benchmark) at that time:
ControlLoops-dbl - 13% speedup
ControlLoops-flt - 15% speedup
Reductions-dbl - 7.5% speedup
llvm-svn: 205348
The PowerPC A2 core greatly benefits from aggressive concatenation unrolling;
use the new getUnrollingPreferences to enable this by default when targeting
the PPC A2 core.

- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

Fixes rdar:14036816, PR16130.
There is an opportunity to compute precise trip counts for 'or'
expressions and multi-exit loops.
rdar:14038809: Optimize trip count computation for multi-exit loops.
To do this we need to record the fact that ExitLimit assumes NSW. When
it does not we can safely assume that the loop trip count is the
minimum ExitLimt across all subexpressions and loop exits.

Summary:
Statistics are still available in Release+Asserts (any +Asserts builds),
and stats can also be turned on with LLVM_ENABLE_STATS.
Move some of the FastISel stats that were moved under DEBUG()
back out of DEBUG(), since stats are disabled across the board now.
Many tests depend on grepping "-stats" output. Move those into
a orig_dir/Stats/. so that they can be marked as unsupported
when building without statistics.

Similarly inlining of the function is inhibited, if that would duplicate the call (in particular inlining is still allowed when there is only one callsite and the function has internal linkage).
llvm-svn: 170704
When the trip count is -1, getSmallConstantTripMultiple could return zero,
and this would cause runtime loop unrolling to assert. Instead of returning
zero, one is now returned (consistent with the existing overflow cases).

Patch by Brendon Cahoon!
This extends the existing LoopUnroll and LoopUnrollPass. Brendon
measured no regressions in the llvm test suite with -unroll-runtime
enabled. This implementation works by using the existing loop
unrolling code to unroll the loop by a power-of-two (default 8). It
generates an if-then-else sequence of code prior to the loop to
execute the extra iterations before entering the unrolled loop.
llvm-svn: 146245
The loop tree's inclusive block lists are painful and expensive to
update. (I have no idea why they're inclusive). The design was
supposed to handle this case but the implementation missed it and my
unit tests weren't thorough enough.

SCEV unrolling can unroll loops with arbitrary induction variables. It
is a prerequisite for -disable-iv-rewrite performance. It is also
easily handles loops of arbitrary structure including multiple exits
and is generally more robust.
This is under a temporary option to avoid affecting default
behavior for the next couple of weeks. It is needed so that I can
checkin unit tests for updateUnloop.
llvm-svn: 137384
These are not individual bug fixes. I had to rewrite a good chunk of
the unroller to make it sane. I think it was getting lucky on trivial
completely unrolled loops with no early exits. I included some fairly
simple unit tests for partial unrolling. I didn't do much stress
testing, so it may not be perfect, but should be usable now.
