The original name was too close to NeedRTCheck which is what the actual
memcheck analysis returns. This flag, as the new name suggests, is only
used to whether to initiate that analysis.
Also a comment is added to answer one question I had about this code for
a long time. Namely, how does this flag differ from
isDependencyCheckNeeded since they are seemingly set at the same time.
llvm-svn: 241784
This commit ([LAA] Fix estimation of number of memchecks) regressed the
logic a bit. We shouldn't quit the analysis if we encounter a pointer
without known bounds *unless* we actually need to emit a memcheck for
it.
The original code was using NumComparisons which is now computed
differently. Instead I compute NeedRTCheck from NumReadPtrChecks and
NumWritePtrChecks.
As side note, I find the separation of NeedRTCheck and CanDoRT
confusing, so I will try to merge them in a follow-up patch.

r239285 ([LoopAccessAnalysis] Teach LAA to check the memory dependence
between strided accesses.) introduced a new case under
MemoryDepChecker::isDependent. We normally have debug output for each
case.
llvm-svn: 241707
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
the intervals associated with the groups instead of
checking the accesses directly.

Summary:
Scalar evolution does not propagate the non-wrapping flags to values
that are derived from a non-wrapping induction variable because
the non-wrapping property could be flow-sensitive.
This change is a first attempt to establish the non-wrapping property in
some simple cases. The main idea is to look through the operations
defining the pointer. As long as we arrive to a non-wrapping AddRec via
a small chain of non-wrapping instruction, the pointer should not wrap
either.
I believe that this essentially is what Andy described in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.cvs/220731 as the way
forward.

Summary:
We need to add a runtime memcheck for pair of accesses (x,y) where at least one of x and y
are writes.
Assuming we have w writes and r reads, currently this number is estimated as being
w* (w+r-1). This estimation will count (write,write) pairs twice and will overestimate
the number of checks required.
This change adds a getNumberOfChecks method to RuntimePointerCheck, which
will count the number of runtime checks needed (similar in implementation to
needsAnyChecking) and uses it to produce the correct number of runtime checks.
Test Plan:

Performance results: no changes observed (not surprising since the formula for 1 writer is basically the same, which would covers most cases - at least with the current check limit).

Interleaved memory accesses are grouped and vectorized into vector load/store and shufflevector.
E.g. for (i = 0; i < N; i+=2) {
a = A[i]; // load of even element
b = A[i+1]; // load of odd element
... // operations on a, b, c, d
A[i] = c; // store of even element
A[i+1] = d; // store of odd element
}
The loads of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave load group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%wide.vec = load <8 x i32>, <8 x i32>* %ptr
%vec.even = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 2, i32 4, i32 6>
%vec.odd = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 3, i32 5, i32 7>
The stores of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave store group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
%interleaved.vec = shufflevector <4 x i32> %vec.even, %vec.odd, <8 x i32> <i32 0, i32 4, i32 1, i32 5, i32 2, i32 6, i32 3, i32 7>

port it to the new pass manager.
All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.

When dependence analysis encounters a non-constant distance between
memory accesses it aborts the analysis and falls back to run-time checks
only. In this case we weren't resetting the array of dependences.
llvm-svn: 237574
"Store to invariant address..." is moved as the last line. This is not
the prime result of the analysis. Plus it simplifies some of the tests.
llvm-svn: 237573
Specifically, if a pointer accesses different underlying objects in each
iteration, don't look through the phi node defining the pointer.
The motivating case is the underlyling-objects-2.ll testcase. Consider
the loop nest:
int **A;
for (i)
for (j)
A[i][j] = A[i-1][j] * B[j]
This loop is transformed by Load-PRE to stash away A[i] for the next
iteration of the outer loop:
Curr = A[0]; // Prev_0
for (i: 1..N) {
Prev = Curr; // Prev = PHI (Prev_0, Curr)
Curr = A[i];
for (j: 0..N)
Curr[j] = Prev[j] * B[j]
}
Since A[i] and A[i-1] are likely to be independent pointers,
getUnderlyingObjects should not assume that Curr and Prev share the same
underlying object in the inner loop.
If it did we would try to dependence-analyze Curr and Prev and the
analysis of the corresponding SCEVs would fail with non-constant
distance.
To fix this, the getUnderlyingObjects API is extended with an optional
LoopInfo parameter. This is effectively what controls whether we want
the above behavior or the original. Currently, I only changed to use
this approach for LoopAccessAnalysis.
The other testcase is to guard the opposite case where we do want to
look through the loop PHI. If we step through an array by incrementing
a pointer, the underlying object is the incoming value of the phi as the
loop is entered.

Fix oversight in -analyze output. PtrRtCheck contains the pointers that

Both run-time pointer checking and the dependence analysis are capable
of dealing with uniform addresses. I.e. it's really just an orthogonal
property of the loop that the analysis computes.
Run-time pointer checking will only try to reason about SCEVAddRec
pointers or else gives up. If the uniform pointer turns out the be a
SCEVAddRec in an outer loop, the run-time checks generated will be
correct (start and end bounds would be equal).
In case of the dependence analysis, we work again with SCEVs. When
compared against a loop-dependent address of the same underlying object,
the difference of the two SCEVs won't be constant. This will result in
returning an Unknown dependence for the pair.
When compared against another uniform access, the difference would be
constant and we should return the right type of dependence
(forward/backward/etc).
The changes also adds support to query this property of the loop and
modify the vectorizer to use this.

The debug message was pretty confusing here. It only reported the
situation with memchecks without the result of the dependence analysis.
Now it prints whether the loop is safe from the POV of the dependence
analysis and if yes, whether we need memchecks.
llvm-svn: 231854
This is the final patch that actually introduces the new parameter of
partition mapping to RuntimePointerCheck::needsChecking.
Another API (LAI::getInstructionsForAccess) is also exposed that helps
to map pointers to instructions because ultimately we partition
instructions.
The WIP version of the Loop Distribution pass in D6930 has been adapted
to use all this. See for example, how
InstrPartitionContainer::computePartitionSetForPointers sets up the
partitions using the above API and then calls to LAI::addRuntimeCheck
with the pointer partitions.
llvm-svn: 231818
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
The check for the number of memchecks will be moved to the client of
this analysis. Besides allowing for transform-specific thresholds, this
also lets Loop Distribution post-process the memchecks; Loop
Distribution only needs memchecks between pointers of different
partitions.
The motivation for this first patch is to untangle the CanDoRT check
from the NumComparison check before moving the NumComparison part.
CanDoRT means that we couldn't determine the bounds for the pointer.
Note that NumComparison is set independent of this flag.
llvm-svn: 231816
The dependences are now expose through the new getInterestingDependences
API so we can use that with -analyze too and fix the FIXME.
This lets us remove the test that relied on -debug to check the
dependences.
llvm-svn: 231807
Gather an array of interesting dependences rather than just failing
after the first unsafe one and regarding the loop unsafe. Loop
Distribution needs to be able to collect all dependences in order to
isolate the dependence cycles into their own partition.
Since the dependence checking algorithm is quadratic in terms of
accesses sharing the same underlying pointer, I am applying a cut-off
threshold (MaxInterestingDependence). Exceeding that, the logic reverts
back to the original approach deeming the loop unsafe upon encountering
the first unsafe dependence.
The main idea of the patch is to split isDepedent from directly
answering the question whether the dep is safe for vectorization to
return a dependence type which then gets mapped to old boolean result
using Dependence::isSafeForVectorization.
Tested that this was compile-time neutral on SpecINT2006 LTO bitcode
inputs. No assembly change on the testsuite including external.
llvm-svn: 231806
LoopDistribution needs to query various results of the dependence
analysis. This series will expose some more APIs and state of the
dependence checker.
This patch is a simple one to just expose the DepChecker instance. The

SpecINT2006. Also there is no assembly change on the testsuite.

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.
