The problem here is the infamous one direction known safe. I was
hesitant to turn it off before b/c of the potential for regressions
without an actual bug from users hitting the problem. This is that bug ;
).
The main performance impact of having known safe in both directions is
that often times it is very difficult to find two releases without a use
in-between them since we are so conservative with determining potential
uses. The one direction known safe gets around that problem by taking
advantage of many situations where we have two retains in a row,
allowing us to avoid that problem. That being said, the one direction
known safe is unsafe. Consider the following situation:
retain(x)
retain(x)
call(x)
call(x)
release(x)
Then we know the following about the reference count of x:
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+2
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 1 (since we can not release a deallocated pointer).
release(x)
// rc(x) >= 0
That is all the information that we can know statically. That means that
we know that A(x), B(x) together can release (x) at most N+1 times. Lets
say that we remove the inner retain, release pair.
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 1
release(x)
// rc(x) >= 0
We knew before that A(x), B(x) could release x up to N+1 times meaning
that rc(x) may be zero at the release(x). That is not safe. On the other
hand, consider the following situation where we have a must use of
release(x) that x must be kept alive for after the release(x)**. Then we
know that:
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+2
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 2 (since we know that we are going to release x and that that release can not be the last use of x).
release(x)
// rc(x) >= 1 (since we can not deallocate the pointer since we have a must use after x).
…
// rc(x) >= 1
use(x)
Thus we know that statically the calls to A(x), B(x) can together only
release rc(x) N times. Thus if we remove the inner retain, release pair:
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 1
…
// rc(x) >= 1
use(x)
We are still safe unless in the final … there are unbalanced retains,
releases which would have caused the program to blow up anyways even
before optimization occurred. The simplest form of must use is an
additional release that has not been paired up with any retain (if we
had paired the release with a retain and removed it we would not have
the additional use). This fits nicely into the ARC framework since
basically what you do is say that given any nested releases regardless
of what is in between, the inner release is known safe. This enables us to get
back the lost performance.

This involved threading the type-to-gep through a data structure, since
the code was relying on the pointer type to carry this information. I
imagine there will be a lot of this work across the project... slow
work chasing each use case, but the assertions will help keep me honest.

Adding nullptr to all the IRBuilder stuff because it's the first thing
that fails to build when testing without the back-compat functions, so
I'll keep having to re-add these locally for each chunk of migration I
do. Might as well check them in to save me the churn. Eventually I'll
have to migrate these too, but I'm going breadth-first.
llvm-svn: 232270
I'm just going to migrate these in a pretty ad-hoc & incremental way -
providing the backwards compatible API for now, then locally removing
it, fixing a few callers, adding it back in and commiting those callers.
Rinse, repeat.
The assertions should ensure that if I get this wrong we'll find out
about it and not just have one giant patch to revert, recommit, revert,
recommit, etc.

The linker on that platform may re-order symbols or strip dead symbols, which
will break bit set checks. Avoid this by hiding the symbols from the linker.

This reapplies the patch previously committed at revision 232190. This was
reverted at revision 232196 as it caused test failures in tests that did not
expect operands to be commuted. I have made the tests more resilient to
reassociation in revision 232206.
llvm-svn: 232209
As a follow-up to r232200, add an `-instcombine` to canonicalize scalar
allocations to `i32 1`. Since r232200, `iX 1` (for X != 32) are only
created by RAUWs, so this shouldn't fire too often. Nevertheless, it's
a cheap check and a nice cleanup.
llvm-svn: 232202
Move type promotion of the size of the array allocation to the end of
`simplifyAllocaArraySize()`. This avoids promoting the type of the
array size if it's a `ConstantInt`, since the next -instcombine
iteration will drop it to a scalar allocation anyway. Similarly, this
avoids promoting the type if it's an `UndefValue`, in which case the
alloca gets RAUW'ed.
This is NFC when considered over the lifetime of -instcombine, since
it's just reducing the number of iterations needed to reach fixed point.
llvm-svn: 232201
Write the `alloca` array size explicitly when it's non-canonical.
Previously, if the array size was `iX 1` (where X is not 32), the type
would mutate to `i32` when round-tripping through assembly.
The testcase I added fails in `verify-uselistorder` (as well as
`FileCheck`), since the use-lists for `i32 1` and `i64 1` change.
(Manman Ren came across this when running `verify-uselistorder` on some
non-trivial, optimized code as part of PR5680.)
The type mutation started with r104911, which allowed array sizes to be
something other than an `i32`. Starting with r204945, we
"canonicalized" to `i64` on 64-bit platforms -- and then on every
round-trip through assembly, mutated back to `i32`.
I bundled a fixup for `-instcombine` to avoid r204945 on scalar
allocations. (There wasn't a clean way to sequence this into two
commits, since the assembly change on its own caused testcase churn, and
the `-instcombine` change can't be tested without the assembly changes.)
An obvious alternative fix -- change `AllocaInst::AllocaInst()`,
`AsmWriter` and `LLParser` to treat `intptr_t` as the canonical type for
scalar allocations -- was rejected out of hand, since this required
teaching them each about the data layout.
A follow-up commit will add an `-instcombine` to canonicalize the scalar
allocation array size to `i32 1` rather than leaving `iX 1` alone.

Follow-up commits will change some of the logic here. Splitting into a
separate function simplifies the logic by allowing early returns instead
of deeper nesting.

This patch adds initial support for vector instructions to the reassociation
pass. It enables most parts of the pass to work with vectors but to keep the
size of the patch small, optimization of Xor trees, canonicalization of
negative constants and converting shifts to muls, etc., have been left out.
This will be handled in later patches.
The patch is based on an initial patch by Chad Rosier.

Given that large parts of inst combine is restricted to instructions which have one use, getting rid of a use on the condition can help the effectiveness of the optimizer. Also, it allows the condition to potentially be deleted by instcombine rather than waiting for another pass.
I noticed this completely by accident in another test case. It's not anything that actually came from a real workload.
p.s. We should probably do the same thing for switch instructions.

Now the analysis won't "fail" if the memchecks exceed the threshold. It
is the transform pass' responsibility to perform the check.
This allows the transform pass to further analyze/eliminate the
memchecks. E.g. in Loop distribution we only need to check pointers
that end up in different partitions.
Note that there is a slight change of functionality here. The logic in
analyzeLoop is that if dependence checking fails due to non-constant
distance between the pointers, another attempt is made to prove safety
of the dependences purely using run-time checks.
Before this patch we could fail the loop due to exceeding the memcheck
threshold after the first step, now we only check the threshold in the
client after the full analysis. There is no measurable compile-time
effect but I wanted to record this here.
llvm-svn: 231817
ReplaceInstUsesWith needs to return nullptr when the input has no users,
because in that case it does not mutate the program. Otherwise, we can
get stuck in an infinite loop of repeatedly attempting to constant fold
and instruction with no users.

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.

Runtime unrolling is an expensive optimization which can bring benefit
only if the loop is hot and iteration number is relatively large enough.
For some loops, we know they are not worth to be runtime unrolled.
The scalar loop from vectorization is one of the cases.
llvm-svn: 231631
Runtime unrollng will introduce a runtime check in loop prologue.
If the unrolled loop is a inner loop, then the proglogue will be inside
the outer loop. LICM pass can help to promote the runtime check out if
the checked value is loop invariant.
llvm-svn: 231630
Specifically this:
* Prevents an "unused" warning in non-assert builds.
* In that error case return with out removing a child loop instead of
looping forever.

This pass interchanges loops to provide a more cache-friendly memory access.
For e.g. given a loop like -
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
for(int j=0;j<N;j++)
A[j][i] = A[j][i]+B[j][i];
is interchanged to -
for(int j=0;j<N;j++)
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
A[j][i] = A[j][i]+B[j][i];
This pass is currently disabled by default.
To give a brief introduction it consists of 3 stages-
LoopInterchangeLegality : Checks the legality of loop interchange based on Dependency matrix.
LoopInterchangeProfitability: A very basic heuristic has been added to check for profitibility. This will evolve over time.
LoopInterchangeTransform : Which does the actual transform.
LNT Performance tests shows improvement in Polybench/linear-algebra/kernels/mvt and Polybench/linear-algebra/kernels/gemver becnmarks.
TODO:
1) Add support for reductions and lcssa phi.
2) Improve profitability model.
3) Improve loop selection algorithm to select best loop for interchange. Currently the innermost loop is selected for interchange.
4) Improve compile time regression found in llvm lnt due to this pass.
5) Fix issues in Dependency Analysis module.
