FCAs. This is essential in order to promote allocas that are used in struct returns by frontends like Clang. The FCA load would block the rest of the pass from firing, resulting is significant regressions with the bullet benchmark in the nightly test suite. Thanks to Duncan for repeated discussions about how best to do this, and to both him and Benjamin for review. This appears to have blocked many places where the pass tries to fire, and so I'm expect somewhat different results with this fix added. As with the last big patch, I'm including a change to enable the SROA by default *temporarily*. Ben is going to remove this as soon as the LNT bots pick up the patch. I'm just trying to get a round of LNT numbers from the stable machines in the lab. NOTE: Four clang tests are expected to fail in the brief window where this is enabled. Sorry for the noise! llvm-svn: 164119

new one, and add support for running the new pass in that mode and in that slot of the pass manager. With this the new pass can completely replace the old one within the pipeline. The strategy for enabling or disabling the SSAUpdater logic is to do it by making the requirement of the domtree analysis optional. By default, it is required and we get the standard mem2reg approach. This is usually the desired strategy when run in stand-alone situations. Within the CGSCC pass manager, we disable requiring of the domtree analysis and consequentially trigger fallback to the SSAUpdater promotion. In theory this would allow the pass to re-use a domtree if one happened to be available even when run in a mode that doesn't require it. In practice, it lets us have a single pass rather than two which was simpler for me to wrap my head around. There is a hidden flag to force the use of the SSAUpdater code path for the purpose of testing. The primary testing strategy is just to run the existing tests through that path. One notable difference is that it has custom code to handle lifetime markers, and one of the tests has been enhanced to exercise that code. This has survived a bootstrap and the test suite without serious correctness issues, however my run of the test suite produced *very* alarming performance numbers. I don't entirely understand or trust them though, so more investigation is on-going. To aid my understanding of the performance impact of the new SROA now that it runs throughout the optimization pipeline, I'm enabling it by default in this commit, and will disable it again once the LNT bots have picked up one iteration with it. I want to get those bots (which are much more stable) to evaluate the impact of the change before I jump to any conclusions. NOTE: Several Clang tests will fail because they run -O3 and check the result's order of output. They'll go back to passing once I disable it again. llvm-svn: 163965

This is essentially a ground up re-think of the SROA pass in LLVM. It was initially inspired by a few problems with the existing pass: - It is subject to the bane of my existence in optimizations: arbitrary thresholds. - It is overly conservative about which constructs can be split and promoted. - The vector value replacement aspect is separated from the splitting logic, missing many opportunities where splitting and vector value formation can work together. - The splitting is entirely based around the underlying type of the alloca, despite this type often having little to do with the reality of how that memory is used. This is especially prevelant with unions and base classes where we tail-pack derived members. - When splitting fails (often due to the thresholds), the vector value replacement (again because it is separate) can kick in for preposterous cases where we simply should have split the value. This results in forming i1024 and i2048 integer "bit vectors" that tremendously slow down subsequnet IR optimizations (due to large APInts) and impede the backend's lowering. The new design takes an approach that fundamentally is not susceptible to many of these problems. It is the result of a discusison between myself and Duncan Sands over IRC about how to premptively avoid these types of problems and how to do SROA in a more principled way. Since then, it has evolved and grown, but this remains an important aspect: it fixes real world problems with the SROA process today. First, the transform of SROA actually has little to do with replacement. It has more to do with splitting. The goal is to take an aggregate alloca and form a composition of scalar allocas which can replace it and will be most suitable to the eventual replacement by scalar SSA values. The actual replacement is performed by mem2reg (and in the future SSAUpdater). The splitting is divided into four phases. The first phase is an analysis of the uses of the alloca. This phase recursively walks uses, building up a dense datastructure representing the ranges of the alloca's memory actually used and checking for uses which inhibit any aspects of the transform such as the escape of a pointer. Once we have a mapping of the ranges of the alloca used by individual operations, we compute a partitioning of the used ranges. Some uses are inherently splittable (such as memcpy and memset), while scalar uses are not splittable. The goal is to build a partitioning that has the minimum number of splits while placing each unsplittable use in its own partition. Overlapping unsplittable uses belong to the same partition. This is the target split of the aggregate alloca, and it maximizes the number of scalar accesses which become accesses to their own alloca and candidates for promotion. Third, we re-walk the uses of the alloca and assign each specific memory access to all the partitions touched so that we have dense use-lists for each partition. Finally, we build a new, smaller alloca for each partition and rewrite each use of that partition to use the new alloca. During this phase the pass will also work very hard to transform uses of an alloca into a form suitable for promotion, including forming vector operations, speculating loads throguh PHI nodes and selects, etc. After splitting is complete, each newly refined alloca that is a candidate for promotion to a scalar SSA value is run through mem2reg. There are lots of reasonably detailed comments in the source code about the design and algorithms, and I'm going to be trying to improve them in subsequent commits to ensure this is well documented, as the new pass is in many ways more complex than the old one. Some of this is still a WIP, but the current state is reasonbly stable. It has passed bootstrap, the nightly test suite, and Duncan has run it successfully through the ACATS and DragonEgg test suites. That said, it remains behind a default-off flag until the last few pieces are in place, and full testing can be done. Specific areas I'm looking at next: - Improved comments and some code cleanup from reviews. - SSAUpdater and enabling this pass inside the CGSCC pass manager. - Some datastructure tuning and compile-time measurements. - More aggressive FCA splitting and vector formation. Many thanks to Duncan Sands for the thorough final review, as well as Benjamin Kramer for lots of review during the process of writing this pass, and Daniel Berlin for reviewing the data structures and algorithms and general theory of the pass. Also, several other people on IRC, over lunch tables, etc for lots of feedback and advice. llvm-svn: 163883

This disables malloc-specific optimization when -fno-builtin (or -ffreestanding) is specified. This has been a problem for a long time but became more severe with the recent memory builtin improvements. Since the memory builtin functions are used everywhere, this required passing TLI in many places. This means that functions that now have an optional TLI argument, like RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadFunctions, won't remove dead mallocs anymore if the TLI argument is missing. I've updated most passes to do the right thing. Fixes PR13694 and probably others. llvm-svn: 162841

The "findUsedStructTypes" method is very expensive to run. It needs to be optimized so that LTO can run faster. Splitting this method out of the Module class will help this occur. For instance, it can keep a list of seen objects so that it doesn't process them over and over again. llvm-svn: 161228

This was always part of the VMCore library out of necessity -- it deals entirely in the IR. The .cpp file in fact was already part of the VMCore library. This is just a mechanical move. I've tried to go through and re-apply the coding standard's preferred header sort, but at 40-ish files, I may have gotten some wrong. Please let me know if so. I'll be committing the corresponding updates to Clang and Polly, and Duncan has DragonEgg. Thanks to Bill and Eric for giving the green light for this bit of cleanup. llvm-svn: 159421

This allows the user/front-end to specify a model that is better than what LLVM would choose by default. For example, a variable might be declared as @x = thread_local(initialexec) global i32 42 if it will not be used in a shared library that is dlopen'ed. If the specified model isn't supported by the target, or if LLVM can make a better choice, a different model may be used. llvm-svn: 159077

and expose it as a utility class rather than as free function wrappers. The simple free-function interface works well for the bugpoint-specific pass's uses of code extraction, but in an upcoming patch for more advanced code extraction, they simply don't expose a rich enough interface. I need to expose various stages of the process of doing the code extraction and query information to decide whether or not to actually complete the extraction or give up. Rather than build up a new predicate model and pass that into these functions, just take the class that was actually implementing the functions and lift it up into a proper interface that can be used to perform code extraction. The interface is cleaned up and re-documented to work better in a header. It also is now setup to accept the blocks to be extracted in the constructor rather than in a method. In passing this essentially reverts my previous commit here exposing a block-level query for eligibility of extraction. That is no longer necessary with the more rich interface as clients can query the extraction object for eligibility directly. This will reduce the number of walks of the input basic block sequence by quite a bit which is useful if this enters the normal optimization pipeline. llvm-svn: 156163

As has been suggested by Duncan and others, Early-CSE and GVN should do similar redundancy elimination, but Early-CSE is much less expensive. Most of my autovectorization benchmarks show a performance regresion, but all of these are < 0.1%, and so I think that it is still worth using the less expensive pass. llvm-svn: 154673
