Instead of merging everything together, look at the users of
GlobalVariables, and try to group them by function, to create
sets of globals used "together".
Using that information, a less-aggressive alternative is to keep merging
everything together *except* globals that are only ever used alone, that
is, those for which it's clearly non-profitable to merge with others.
In my testing, grouping by Function is too aggressive, but grouping by
BasicBlock is too conservative. Anything in-between isn't trivially
available, so stick with Function grouping for now.
cl::opts are added for testing; both enabled by default.
A few of the testcases aren't testing the merging proper, but just
various edge cases when merging does occur. Update them to use the
previous grouping behavior. Also, one of the tests is unrelated to
GlobalMerge; change it accordingly.
While there, switch to r234666' flags rather than the brutal -O3.

Many of these predate llvm-readobj. With elf-dump we had to match
a relocation to symbol number and symbol number to symbol name or
section number.

The pass used to be enabled by default with CodeGenOpt::Less (-O1).
This is too aggressive, considering the pass indiscriminately merges
all globals together.
Currently, performance doesn't always improve, and, on code that uses
few globals (e.g., the odd file- or function- static), more often than
not is degraded by the optimization. Lengthy discussion can be found
on llvmdev (AArch64-focused; ARM has similar problems):
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-February/082800.html
Also, it makes tooling and debuggers less useful when dealing with
globals and data sections.
GlobalMerge needs to better identify those cases that benefit, and this
will be done separately. In the meantime, move the pass to run with
-O3 rather than -O1, on both ARM and AArch64.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.
update.py:
import fileinput
import sys
import re
ibrep = re.compile(r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr inbounds )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
normrep = re.compile( r"(^.*?[^%\w]getelementptr )(((?:<\d* x )?)(.*?)(| addrspace\(\d\)) *\*(|>)(?:$| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$))")
def conv(match, line):
if not match:
return line
line = match.groups()[0]
if len(match.groups()[5]) == 0:
line += match.groups()[2]
line += match.groups()[3]
line += ", "
line += match.groups()[1]
line += "\n"
return line
for line in sys.stdin:
if line.find("getelementptr ") == line.find("getelementptr inbounds"):
if line.find("getelementptr inbounds") != line.find("getelementptr inbounds ("):
line = conv(re.match(ibrep, line), line)
elif line.find("getelementptr ") != line.find("getelementptr ("):
line = conv(re.match(normrep, line), line)
sys.stdout.write(line)
apply.sh:
for name in "$@"
do
python3 `dirname "$0"`/update.py < "$name" > "$name.tmp" && mv "$name.tmp" "$name"
rm -f "$name.tmp"
done
The actual commands:
From llvm/src:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).
The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

argument. Instead, use a pair of .local and .comm directives.
This avoids spurious differences between binaries built by the
integrated assembler vs. those built by the external assembler,
since the external assembler may impose alignment requirements
on .lcomm symbols where the integrated assembler does not.
llvm-svn: 168704
- On COFF the .lcomm directive has an alignment argument.
- On ELF we fall back to .local + .comm
