Dead code elimination during coalescing could cause a virtual register
to be split into connected components. The following rewriting would be
confused about the already joined copies present in the code, but
without a corresponding value number in the live range.
Erase all joined copies instantly when joining intervals such that the
MI and LiveInterval representations are always in sync.
llvm-svn: 157135
Dead code and joined copies are now eliminated on the fly, and there is
no need for a post pass.
This makes the coalescer work like other modern register allocator
passes: Code is changed on the fly, there is no pending list of changes
to be committed.
llvm-svn: 157132
The late dead code elimination is no longer necessary.
The test changes are cause by a register hint that can be either %rdi or
%rax. The choice depends on the use list order, which this patch changes.
llvm-svn: 157131
Before rewriting uses of one value in A to register B, check that there
are no tied uses. That would require multiple A values to be rewritten.
This bug can't bite in the current version of the code for a fairly
subtle reason: A tied use would have caused 2-addr to insert a copy
before the use. If the copy has been coalesced, it will be found by the
same loop changed by this patch, and the optimization is aborted.
This was exposed by 400.perlbench and lua after applying a patch that
deletes joined copies aggressively.
llvm-svn: 157130
Remaining virtreg->physreg copies were rematerialized during
updateRegDefsUses(), but we already do the same thing in joinCopy() when
visiting the physreg copy instruction.
Eliminate the preserveSrcInt argument to reMaterializeTrivialDef(). It
is now always true.
llvm-svn: 157103
Dead copies cause problems because they are trivial to coalesce, but
removing them gived the live range a dangling end point. This patch
enables full dead code elimination which trims live ranges to their uses
so end points don't dangle.
DCE may erase multiple instructions. Put the pointers in an ErasedInstrs
set so we never risk visiting erased instructions in the work list.
There isn't supposed to be any dead copies entering RegisterCoalescer,
but they do slip by as evidenced by test/CodeGen/X86/coalescer-dce.ll.
llvm-svn: 157101
It is no longer necessary to separate VirtCopies, PhysCopies, and
ImpDefCopies. Implicitly defined copies are extremely rare after we
added the ProcessImplicitDefs pass, and physical register copies are not
joined any longer.
llvm-svn: 157059
This has been disabled for a while, and it is not a feature we want to
support. Copies between physical and virtual registers are eliminated by
good hinting support in the register allocator. Joining virtual and
physical registers is really a form of register allocation, and the
coalescer is not properly equipped to do that. In particular, it cannot
backtrack coalescing decisions, and sometimes that would cause it to
create programs that were impossible to register allocate, by exhausting
a small register class.
It was also very difficult to keep track of the live ranges of aliasing
registers when extending the live range of a physreg. By disabling
physreg joining, we can let fixed physreg live ranges remain constant
throughout the register allocator super-pass.
One type of physreg joining remains: A virtual register that has a
single value which is a copy of a reserved register can be merged into
the reserved physreg. This always lowers register pressure, and since we
don't compute live ranges for reserved registers, there are no problems
with aliases.
llvm-svn: 157055
RegisterCoalescer set <undef> flags on all operands of copy instructions
that are scheduled to be removed. This is so they won't affect
shrinkToUses() by introducing false register reads.
Make sure those <undef> flags are never cleared, or shrinkToUses() could
cause live intervals to end at instructions about to be deleted.
This would be a lot simpler if RegisterCoalescer could just erase joined
copies immediately instead of keeping all the to-be-deleted instructions
around.
This fixes PR12862. Unfortunately, bugpoint can't create a sane test
case for this. Like many other coalescer problems, this failure depends
of a very fragile series of events.
<rdar://problem/11474428>
llvm-svn: 157001
When widening an existing <def,reads-undef> operand to a super-register,
it may be necessary to clear the <undef> flag because the wider register
is now read-modify-write through the instruction.
Conversely, it may be necessary to add an <undef> flag when the
coalescer turns a full-register def into a sub-register def, but the
larger register wasn't live before the instruction.
This happens in test/CodeGen/ARM/coalesce-subregs.ll, but the test
is too small for the <undef> flags to affect the generated code.
llvm-svn: 156951
It is now possible to coalesce weird skewed sub-register copies by
picking a super-register class larger than both original registers. The
included test case produces code like this:
vld2.32 {d16, d17, d18, d19}, [r0]!
vst2.32 {d18, d19, d20, d21}, [r0]
We still perform interference checking as if it were a normal full copy
join, so this is still quite conservative. In particular, the f1 and f2
functions in the included test case still have remaining copies because
of false interference.
llvm-svn: 156878
It is possible to coalesce two overlapping registers to a common
super-register that it larger than both of the original registers.
The important difference is that it may be necessary to rewrite DstReg
operands as well as SrcReg operands because the sub-register index has
changed.
This behavior is still disabled by CoalescerPair.
llvm-svn: 156869
Now both SrcReg and DstReg can be sub-registers of the final coalesced
register.
CoalescerPair::setRegisters still rejects such copies because
RegisterCoalescer doesn't yet handle them.
llvm-svn: 156848
At least some of them:
%vreg1:sub_16bit = COPY %vreg2:sub_16bit; GR64:%vreg1, GR32: %vreg2
Previously, we couldn't figure out that the above copy could be
eliminated by coalescing %vreg2 with %vreg1:sub_32bit.
The new getCommonSuperRegClass() hook makes it possible.
This is not very useful yet since the unmodified part of the destination
register usually interferes with the source register. The coalescer
needs to understand sub-register interference checking first.
llvm-svn: 156334
The getPointerRegClass() hook can return register classes that depend on
the calling convention of the current function (ptr_rc_tailcall).
So far, we have been able to infer the calling convention from the
subtarget alone, but as we add support for multiple calling conventions
per target, that no longer works.
Patch by Yiannis Tsiouris!

Cross-class joins have been normal and fully supported for a while now.
With TableGen generating the getMatchingSuperRegClass() hook, they are
unlikely to cause problems again.
llvm-svn: 155552
Remove the heuristic for disabling cross-class joins. The greedy
register allocator can handle the narrow register classes, and when it
splits a live range, it can pick a larger register class.
Benchmarks were unaffected by this change.
<rdar://problem/11302212>
llvm-svn: 155551
Creates a configurable regalloc pipeline.
Ensure specific llc options do what they say and nothing more: -reglloc=... has no effect other than selecting the allocator pass itself. This patch introduces a new umbrella flag, "-optimize-regalloc", to enable/disable the optimizing regalloc "superpass". This allows for example testing coalscing and scheduling under -O0 or vice-versa.
When a CodeGen pass requires the MachineFunction to have a particular property, we need to explicitly define that property so it can be directly queried rather than naming a specific Pass. For example, to check for SSA, use MRI->isSSA, not addRequired<PHIElimination>.
CodeGen transformation passes are never "required" as an analysis
ProcessImplicitDefs does not require LiveVariables.
We have a plan to massively simplify some of the early passes within the regalloc superpass.
llvm-svn: 150226
A live range that has an early clobber tied redef now looks like a
normal tied redef, except the early clobber def uses the early clobber
slot.
This is enough to handle any strange interference problems.
llvm-svn: 149769
If a value is defined by a COPY, that instuction can easily and cheaply
be found by getInstructionFromIndex(VNI->def).
This reduces the size of VNInfo from 24 to 16 bytes, and improves
llc compile time by 3%.

around within a basic block while maintaining live-intervals.
Updated ScheduleTopDownLive in MachineScheduler.cpp to use the moveInstr API
when reordering MIs.
llvm-svn: 149147
Reserved registers don't have proper live ranges, their LiveInterval
simply has a snippet of liveness for each def. Virtual registers with a
single value that is a copy of a reserved register (typically %esp) can
be coalesced with the reserved register if the live range doesn't
overlap any reserved register defs.
When coalescing with a reserved register, don't modify the reserved
register live range. Just leave it as a bunch of dead defs. This
eliminates quadratic coalescer behavior in i386 functions with many
function calls.
