      CostModel: Add parameter to instruction cost to further classify operand values · b9773871
      Arnold Schwaighofer authored
      On certain architectures we can support efficient vectorized version of
      instructions if the operand value is uniform (splat) or a constant scalar.
      An example of this is a vector shift on x86.
      
      We can efficiently support
      
      for (i = 0 ; i < ; i += 4)
        w[0:3] = v[0:3] << <2, 2, 2, 2>
      
      but not
      
      for (i = 0; i < ; i += 4)
        w[0:3] = v[0:3] << x[0:3]
      
      This patch adds a parameter to getArithmeticInstrCost to further qualify operand
      values as uniform or uniform constant.
      
      Targets can then choose to return a different cost for instructions with such
      operand values.
      
      A follow-up commit will test this feature on x86.

      ARM cost model: Address computation in vector mem ops not free · 594fa2dc
      Arnold Schwaighofer authored
      Adds a function to target transform info to query for the cost of address
      computation. The cost model analysis pass now also queries this interface.
      The code in LoopVectorize adds the cost of address computation as part of the
      memory instruction cost calculation. Only there, we know whether the instruction
      will be scalarized or not.
      Increase the penality for inserting in to D registers on swift. This becomes
      necessary because we now always assume that address computation has a cost and
      three is a closer value to the architecture.

      Switch TargetTransformInfo from an immutable analysis pass that requires · 664e354d
      Chandler Carruth authored
      a TargetMachine to construct (and thus isn't always available), to an
      analysis group that supports layered implementations much like
      AliasAnalysis does. This is a pretty massive change, with a few parts
      that I was unable to easily separate (sorry), so I'll walk through it.
      
      The first step of this conversion was to make TargetTransformInfo an
      analysis group, and to sink the nonce implementations in
      ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTranformInfo into
      a NoTargetTransformInfo pass. This allows other passes to add a hard
      requirement on TTI, and assume they will always get at least on
      implementation.
      
      The TargetTransformInfo analysis group leverages the delegation chaining
      trick that AliasAnalysis uses, where the base class for the analysis
      group delegates to the previous analysis *pass*, allowing all but tho
      NoFoo analysis passes to only implement the parts of the interfaces they
      support. It also introduces a new trick where each pass in the group
      retains a pointer to the top-most pass that has been initialized. This
      allows passes to implement one API in terms of another API and benefit
      when some other pass above them in the stack has more precise results
      for the second API.
      
      The second step of this conversion is to create a pass that implements
      the TargetTransformInfo analysis using the target-independent
      abstractions in the code generator. This replaces the
      ScalarTargetTransformImpl and VectorTargetTransformImpl classes in
      lib/Target with a single pass in lib/CodeGen called
      BasicTargetTransformInfo. This class actually provides most of the TTI
      functionality, basing it upon the TargetLowering abstraction and other
      information in the target independent code generator.
      
      The third step of the conversion adds support to all TargetMachines to
      register custom analysis passes. This allows building those passes with
      access to TargetLowering or other target-specific classes, and it also
      allows each target to customize the set of analysis passes desired in
      the pass manager. The baseline LLVMTargetMachine implements this
      interface to add the BasicTTI pass to the pass manager, and all of the
      tools that want to support target-aware TTI passes call this routine on
      whatever target machine they end up with to add the appropriate passes.
      
      The fourth step of the conversion created target-specific TTI analysis
      passes for the X86 and ARM backends. These passes contain the custom
      logic that was previously in their extensions of the
      ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTransformInfo interfaces.
      I separated them into their own file, as now all of the interface bits
      are private and they just expose a function to create the pass itself.
      Then I extended these target machines to set up a custom set of analysis
      passes, first adding BasicTTI as a fallback, and then adding their
      customized TTI implementations.
      
      The fourth step required logic that was shared between the target
      independent layer and the specific targets to move to a different
      interface, as they no longer derive from each other. As a consequence,
      a helper functions were added to TargetLowering representing the common
      logic needed both in the target implementation and the codegen
      implementation of the TTI pass. While technically this is the only
      change that could have been committed separately, it would have been
      a nightmare to extract.
      
      The final step of the conversion was just to delete all the old
      boilerplate. This got rid of the ScalarTargetTransformInfo and
      VectorTargetTransformInfo classes, all of the support in all of the
      targets for producing instances of them, and all of the support in the
      tools for manually constructing a pass based around them.
      
      Now that TTI is a relatively normal analysis group, two things become
      straightforward. First, we can sink it into lib/Analysis which is a more
      natural layer for it to live. Second, clients of this interface can
      depend on it *always* being available which will simplify their code and
      behavior. These (and other) simplifications will follow in subsequent
      commits, this one is clearly big enough.
      
      Finally, I'm very aware that much of the comments and documentation
      needs to be updated. As soon as I had this working, and plausibly well
      commented, I wanted to get it committed and in front of the build bots.
      I'll be doing a few passes over documentation later if it sticks.
      
      Commits to update DragonEgg and Clang will be made presently.
