      Clear virtual registers after they are no longer referenced. · da84e646
      Andrew Trick authored
      Passes after RegAlloc should be able to rely on MRI->getNumVirtRegs() == 0.
      This makes sharing code for pre/postRA passes more robust.
      Now, to check if a pass is running before the RA pipeline begins, use MRI->isSSA().
      To check if a pass is running after the RA pipeline ends, use !MRI->getNumVirtRegs().
      
      PEI resets virtual regs when it's done scavenging.
      
      PTX will either have to provide its own PEI pass or assign physregs.

      Add register mask support to InterferenceCache. · a16ae597
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      This makes global live range splitting behave identically with and
      without register mask operands.
      
      This is not necessarily the best way of using register masks for live
      range splitting.  It would be more efficient to first split global live
      ranges around calls (i.e., register masks), and reserve the fine grained
      per-physreg interference guidance for global live ranges that do not
      cross calls.
      
      For now the goal is to produce identical assembly when enabling register
      masks.

      RegAlloc superpass: includes phi elimination, coalescing, and scheduling. · d3f8fe81
      Andrew Trick authored
      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.

      Add an interface for SplitKit complement spill modes. · eecb2fb1
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      SplitKit always computes a complement live range to cover the places
      where the original live range was live, but no explicit region has been
      allocated.
      
      Currently, the complement live range is created to be as small as
      possible - it never overlaps any of the regions.  This minimizes
      register pressure, but if the complement is going to be spilled anyway,
      that is not very important.  The spiller will eliminate redundant
      spills, and hoist others by making the spill slot live range overlap
      some of the regions created by splitting.  Stack slots are cheap.
      
      This patch adds the interface to enable spill modes in SplitKit.  In
      spill mode, SplitKit will assume that the complement is going to spill,
      so it will allow it to overlap regions in order to avoid back-copies.
      By doing some of the spiller's work early, the complement live range
      becomes simpler.  In some cases, it can become much simpler because no
      extra PHI-defs are required.  This will speed up both splitting and
      spilling.
      
      This is only the interface to enable spill modes, no implementation yet.

      Enable compact region splitting by default. · 11b788d5
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      This helps generate better code in functions with high register
      pressure.
      
      The previous version of compact region splitting caused regressions
      because the regions were a bit too large. A stronger negative bias
      applied in r136832 fixed this problem.

      Be more conservative when forming compact regions. · 86954520
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      Apply twice the negative bias on transparent blocks when computing the
      compact regions. This excludes loop backedges from the region when only
      one of the loop blocks uses the register.
      
      Previously, we would include the backedge in the region if the loop
      preheader and the loop latch both used the register, but the loop header
      didn't.
      
      When both the header and latch blocks use the register, we still keep it
      live on the backedge.

      Reverse order of RS_Split live ranges under -compact-regions. · cad845f4
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      There are two conflicting strategies in play:
      
      - Under high register pressure, we want to assign large live ranges
        first. Smaller live ranges are easier to place afterwards.
      
      - Live range splitting is guided by interference, so splitting should be
        deferred until interference is as realistic as possible.
      
      With the recent changes to the live range stages, and with compact
      regions enabled, it is less traumatic to split a live range too early.
      If some of the split products were too big, they can often be split
      again.
      
      By reversing the RS_Split order, we get this queue order:
      
      1. Normal live ranges, large to small.
      2. RS_Split live ranges, large to small.
      
      The large-to-small order improves RAGreedy's puzzle solving skills under
      high register pressure. It may cause a bit more iterated splitting, but
      we handle that better now.
      
      With this change, -compact-regions is mostly an improvement on SPEC.

      Add support for multi-way live range splitting. · dab4b9a4
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      When splitting global live ranges, it is now possible to split for
      multiple destination intervals at once. Previously, we only had the main
      and stack intervals.
      
      Each edge bundle is assigned to a split candidate, and splitAroundRegion
      will insert copies between the candidate intervals and the stack
      interval as needed.
      
      The multi-way splitting is used to split around compact regions when
      enabled with -compact-regions. The best candidate register still gets
      all the bundles it wants, but everything outside the main interval is
      first split around compact regions before we create single-block
      intervals.
      
      Compact region splitting still causes some regressions, so it is not
      enabled by default.

      Revert to RA_Assign when a virtreg separates into components. · 5387bd34
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      When dead code elimination deletes a PHI value, the virtual register may
      split into multiple connected components. In that case, revert each
      component to the RS_Assign stage.
      
      The new components are guaranteed to be smaller (the original value
      numbers are distributed among the components), so this will always be
      making progress. The components are now allowed to evict other live
      ranges or be split again.

      Add an RS_Split2 stage used for loop prevention. · 45011171
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      This mechanism already exists, but the RS_Split2 stage makes it clearer.
      
      When live range splitting creates ranges that may not be making
      progress, they are marked RS_Split2 instead of RS_New. These ranges may
      be split again, but only in a way that can be proven to make progress.
      
      For local ranges, that means they must be split into ranges used by
      strictly fewer instructions.
      
      For global ranges, region splitting is bypassed and the RS_Split2
      ranges go straight to per-block splitting.

      Rename live range stages to better reflect how they are used. · 3ef8cf13
      Jakob Stoklund Olesen authored
      The stage is used to control where a live range is going, not where it
      is coming from. Live ranges created by splitting will usually be marked
      RS_New, but some are marked RS_Spill to avoid wasting time trying to
      split them again.
      
      The old RS_Global and RS_Local stages are merged - they are really the
      same thing for local and global live ranges.
