Summary:
As discussed in D42244, we have difficulty describing the legality of some
operations. We're not able to specify relationships between types.
For example, declaring the following
setAction({..., 0, s32}, Legal)
setAction({..., 0, s64}, Legal)
setAction({..., 1, s32}, Legal)
setAction({..., 1, s64}, Legal)
currently declares these type combinations as legal:
{s32, s32}
{s64, s32}
{s32, s64}
{s64, s64}
but we currently have no means to say that, for example, {s64, s32} is
not legal. Some operations such as G_INSERT/G_EXTRACT/G_MERGE_VALUES/
G_UNMERGE_VALUES have relationships between the types that are currently
described incorrectly.
Additionally, G_LOAD/G_STORE currently have no means to legalize non-atomics
differently to atomics. The necessary information is in the MMO but we have no
way to use this in the legalizer. Similarly, there is currently no way for the
register type and the memory type to differ so there is no way to cleanly
represent extending-load/truncating-store in a way that can't be broken by
optimizers (resulting in illegal MIR).
It's also difficult to control the legalization strategy. We've added support
for legalizing non-power of 2 types but there's still some hardcoded assumptions
about the strategy. The main one I've noticed is that type0 is always legalized
before type1 which is not a good strategy for `type0 = G_EXTRACT type1, ...` if
you need to widen the container. It will converge on the same result eventually
but it will take a much longer route when legalizing type0 than if you legalize
type1 first.
Lastly, the definition of legality and the legalization strategy is kept
separate which is not ideal. It's helpful to be able to look at a one piece of
code and see both what is legal and the method the legalizer will use to make
illegal MIR more legal.
This patch adds a layer onto the LegalizerInfo (to be removed when all targets
have been migrated) which resolves all these issues.
Here are the rules for shift and division:
for (unsigned BinOp : {G_LSHR, G_ASHR, G_SDIV, G_UDIV})
getActionDefinitions(BinOp)
.legalFor({s32, s64}) // If type0 is s32/s64 then it's Legal
.clampScalar(0, s32, s64) // If type0 is <s32 then WidenScalar to s32
// If type0 is >s64 then NarrowScalar to s64
.widenScalarToPow2(0) // Round type0 scalars up to powers of 2
.unsupported(); // Otherwise, it's unsupported
This describes everything needed to both define legality and describe how to
make illegal things legal.
Here's an example of a complex rule:
getActionDefinitions(G_INSERT)
.unsupportedIf([=](const LegalityQuery &Query) {
// If type0 is smaller than type1 then it's unsupported
return Query.Types[0].getSizeInBits() <= Query.Types[1].getSizeInBits();
})
.legalIf([=](const LegalityQuery &Query) {
// If type0 is s32/s64/p0 and type1 is a power of 2 other than 2 or 4 then it's legal
// We don't need to worry about large type1's because unsupportedIf caught that.
const LLT &Ty0 = Query.Types[0];
const LLT &Ty1 = Query.Types[1];
if (Ty0 != s32 && Ty0 != s64 && Ty0 != p0)
return false;
return isPowerOf2_32(Ty1.getSizeInBits()) &&
(Ty1.getSizeInBits() == 1 || Ty1.getSizeInBits() >= 8);
})
.clampScalar(0, s32, s64)
.widenScalarToPow2(0)
.maxScalarIf(typeInSet(0, {s32}), 1, s16) // If type0 is s32 and type1 is bigger than s16 then NarrowScalar type1 to s16
.maxScalarIf(typeInSet(0, {s64}), 1, s32) // If type0 is s64 and type1 is bigger than s32 then NarrowScalar type1 to s32
.widenScalarToPow2(1) // Round type1 scalars up to powers of 2
.unsupported();
This uses a lambda to say that G_INSERT is unsupported when type0 is bigger than
type1 (in practice, this would be a default rule for G_INSERT). It also uses one
to describe the legal cases. This particular predicate is equivalent to:
.legalFor({{s32, s1}, {s32, s8}, {s32, s16}, {s64, s1}, {s64, s8}, {s64, s16}, {s64, s32}})
In terms of performance, I saw a slight (~6%) performance improvement when
AArch64 was around 30% ported but it's pretty much break even right now.
I'm going to take a look at constexpr as a means to reduce the initialization
cost.
Future work:
* Make it possible for opcodes to share rulesets. There's no need for
G_LSHR/G_ASHR/G_SDIV/G_UDIV to have separate rule and ruleset objects. There's
no technical barrier to this, it just hasn't been done yet.
* Replace the type-index numbers with an enum to get .clampScalar(Type0, s32, s64)
* Better names for things like .maxScalarIf() (clampMaxScalar?) and the vector rules.
* Improve initialization cost using constexpr
Possible future work:
* It's possible to make these rulesets change the MIR directly instead of
returning a description of how to change the MIR. This should remove a little
overhead caused by parsing the description and routing to the right code, but
the real motivation is that it removes the need for LegalizeAction::Custom.
With Custom removed, there's no longer a requirement that Custom legalization
change the opcode to something that's considered legal.

The various components are
GICombinerHelper contains transformations that are common to all
targets. Targets can pick and choose which transformations (at
function/opcode granularity) each pass uses via configuring a
GICombinerInfo.
GICombiner contains some common code and it does the traversal,
driving of combines, worklist management and iterating until
convergence.
GICombinerInfo is an interface with a virtual method called combine.
The combiner info will allow targets to pick and choose (or
implement their own specific combines). CombineInfos can make
use of available combines in GICombineHelper to configure the
transformations for a particular pass. Currently this approach allows
cherry picking transformations from helpers (at function/opcode
granularity) and also allows early returning on specific
transformations. Targets also get to prioritize whether target specific
combines run before/after the opt-in generic combines. Ideally we would
like this part to be configured by both C++ and Tablegen. The
CombinerInfo also has a field which indicates how to deal with
IllegalOps (ie - should we allow to create them/or legalize them?).
A CombinerPass would configure a CombinerInfo, create the GICombiner
with the Info, and call
GICombiner::combineMachineInstrs(MachineFunction&).
This organization is very similar to the GISelLegalizer.

With this change, the GlobalISel library gets always built. In
particular, this is not possible to opt GlobalISel out of the build
using the LLVM_BUILD_GLOBAL_ISEL variable any more.

This reverts commit r299287 plus clean-ups.
The localizer pass is a helper pass that could be run at O0 in the GISel
pipeline to work around the deficiency of the fast register allocator.
It basically shortens the live-ranges of the constants so that the
allocator does not spill all over the place.
Long term fix would be to make the greedy allocator fast.

Looks like our cmake goop for handling .inc->td dependencies doesn't
track the .td files.
This manifests as cmake complaining about missing files since r293009.
Force a rerun to avoid that.

Move the logic to constraint register from InstructionSelector to a
utility function. It will be required by other passes in the GlobalISel
pipeline.

This patch updates a bunch of places where add_dependencies was being explicitly called to add dependencies on intrinsics_gen to instead use the DEPENDS named parameter. This cleanup is needed for a patch I'm working on to add a dependency debugging mode to the build system.

The previous names were both misleading (the MachineLegalizer actually
contained the info tables) and inconsistent with the selector & translator (in
having a "Machine") prefix. This should make everything sensible again.
The only functional change is the name of a couple of command-line options.
llvm-svn: 284287
There should be no functional change here, I'm just making the implementation
of "frem" (to libcall) legalization easier for a followup.
llvm-svn: 279987
This adds the actual MachineLegalizeHelper to do the work and a trivial pass
wrapper that legalizes all instructions in a MachineFunction. Currently the
only transformation supported is splitting up a vector G_ADD into one acting on
smaller vectors.
llvm-svn: 276461
The rational for this change is that LLVMBuild cannot express conditional
dependencies. Therefore, when we start optionally using GlobalISel library for
say AArch64, without that change, all the tools that use the AArch64 library
would need to explicitly link with GlobalISel when we ask for it.
This does not scale.
Instead, we will set the dependencies between the target and GlobalISel and if
we did not ask to build GlobalISel, the library will just be empty.
Thanks to Chris Bieneman and Mehdi Animi for the idea.
llvm-svn: 260566
This patch adds the necessary plumbing to cmake to build the sources related to
GlobalISel.
To build the sources related to GlobalISel, we need to add -DBUILD_GLOBAL_ISEL=ON.
By default, this is OFF, thus GlobalISel sources will not impact people that do
not explicitly opt-in.
