Delete the Kill and Def markers in BlockInfo. They are no longer
necessary when BlockInfo describes a continuous live range.
This only affects the relatively rare kind of basic block where a live
range looks like this:
|---x o---|
Now live range splitting can pretend that it is looking at two blocks:
|---x
o---|
This allows the code to be simplified a bit.
llvm-svn: 132245
It is important that this function returns the same number of live blocks as
countLiveBlocks(CurLI) because live range splitting uses the number of live
blocks to ensure it is making progress.
This is in preparation of supporting duplicate UseBlock entries for basic blocks
that have a virtual register live-in and live-out, but not live-though.
llvm-svn: 132244
Register coalescing can sometimes create live ranges that end in the middle of a
basic block without any killing instruction. When SplitKit detects this, it will
repair the live range by shrinking it to its uses.
Live range splitting also needs to know about this. When the range shrinks so
much that it becomes allocatable, live range splitting fails because it can't
find a good split point. It is paranoid about making progress, so an allocatable
range is considered an error.
The coalescer should really not be creating these bad live ranges. They appear
when coalescing dead copies.
llvm-svn: 130787
These intervals are allocatable immediately after splitting, but they may be
evicted because of later splitting. This is rare, but when it happens they
should be split again.
The remainder intervals that cannot be allocated after splitting still move
directly to spilling.
SplitEditor::finish can optionally provide a mapping from new live intervals
back to the original interval indexes returned by openIntv().
Each original interval index can map to multiple new intervals after connected
components have been separated. Dead code elimination may also add existing
intervals to the list.
The reverse mapping allows the SplitEditor client to treat the new intervals
differently depending on the split region they came from.
llvm-svn: 129925
The transferValues() function can now handle both singly and multiply defined
values, as long as the resulting live range is known. Only rematerialized values
have their live range recomputed by extendRange().
The updateSSA() function can now insert PHI values in bulk across multiple
values in multiple target registers in one pass. The list of blocks received
from transferValues() is in layout order which seems to work well for the
iterative algorithm. Blocks from extendRange() are still in reverse BFS order,
but this function is used so rarely now that it doesn't matter.
llvm-svn: 129580
This merges the behavior of splitSingleBlocks into splitAroundRegion, so the
RS_Region and RS_Block register stages can be coalesced. That means the leftover
intervals after region splitting go directly to spilling instead of a second
pass of per-block splitting.
llvm-svn: 129379
It is common for large live ranges to have few basic blocks with register uses
and many live-through blocks without any uses. This approach grows the Hopfield
network incrementally around the use blocks, completely avoiding checking
interference for some through blocks.
llvm-svn: 129188
About 90% of the relevant blocks are live-through without uses, and the only
information required about them is their number. This saves memory and enables
later optimizations that need to look at only the use-blocks.
llvm-svn: 128985
This allows us to always keep the smaller slot for an instruction which is what
we want when a register has early clobber defines.
Drop the UsingInstrs set and the UsingBlocks map. They are no longer needed.
llvm-svn: 128886
inlined path for the common case.
Most basic blocks don't contain a call that may throw, so the last split point
os simply the first terminator.
llvm-svn: 128874
LiveRangeEdit::eliminateDeadDefs() will eventually be used by coalescing,
splitting, and spilling for dead code elimination. It can delete chains of dead
instructions as long as there are no dependency loops.
llvm-svn: 127287
The coalescer can in very rare cases leave too large live intervals around after
rematerializing cheap-as-a-move instructions.
Linear scan doesn't really care, but live range splitting gets very confused
when a live range is killed by a ghost instruction.
I will fix this properly in the coalescer after 2.9 branches.
llvm-svn: 127096
Values that map to a single new value in a new interval after splitting don't
need new PHIDefs, and if the parent value was never rematerialized the live
range will be the same.
llvm-svn: 126894
Extract the updateSSA() method from the too long extendRange().
LiveOutCache can be shared among all the new intervals since there is at most
one of the new ranges live out from each basic block.
llvm-svn: 126818
This method could probably be used by LiveIntervalAnalysis::shrinkToUses, and
now it can use extendIntervalEndTo() which coalesces ranges.
llvm-svn: 126803
The value map is currently not used, all values are 'complex mapped' and
LiveIntervalMap::mapValue is used to dig them out.
This is the first step in a series changes leading to the removal of
LiveIntervalMap. Its data structures can be shared among all the live intervals
created by a split, so it is wasteful to create a copy for each.
llvm-svn: 126800
An original endpoint is an instruction that killed or defined the original live
range before any live ranges were split.
When splitting global live ranges, avoid creating local live ranges without any
original endpoints. We may still create global live ranges without original
endpoints, but such a range won't be split again, and live range splitting still
terminates.
llvm-svn: 126151
A local live range is live in a single basic block. If such a range fails to
allocate, try to find a sub-range that would get a larger spill weight than its
interference.
llvm-svn: 125764
If a live range is used by a terminator instruction, and that live range needs
to leave the block on the stack or in a different register, it can be necessary
to have both sides of the split live at the terminator instruction.
Example:
%vreg2 = COPY %vreg1
JMP %vreg1
Becomes after spilling %vreg2:
SPILL %vreg1
JMP %vreg1
The spill doesn't kill the register as is normally the case.
llvm-svn: 125102
The greedy register allocator revealed some problems with the value mapping in
SplitKit. We would sometimes start mapping values before all defs were known,
and that could change a value from a simple 1-1 mapping to a multi-def mapping
that requires ssa update.
The new approach collects all defs and register assignments first without
filling in any live intervals. Only when finish() is called, do we compute
liveness and mapped values. At this time we know with certainty which values map
to multiple values in a split range.
This also has the advantage that we can compute live ranges based on the
remaining uses after rematerializing at split points.
The current implementation has many opportunities for compile time optimization.
llvm-svn: 124765
Analyze the live range's behavior entering and leaving basic blocks. Compute an
interference pattern for each allocation candidate, and use SpillPlacement to
find an optimal region where that register can be live.
This code is still not enabled.
llvm-svn: 123774
The analysis will be needed by both the greedy register allocator and the
X86FloatingPoint pass. It only needs to be computed once when the CFG doesn't
change.
This pass is very fast, usually showing up as 0.0% wall time.
llvm-svn: 122832
Edge bundles is an annotation on the CFG that turns it into a bipartite directed
graph where each basic block is connected to an outgoing and an ingoing bundle.
These bundles are useful for identifying regions of the CFG for live range
splitting.
llvm-svn: 122301
Bypass loops have the current live range live through, but contain no uses or
defs. Splitting around a bypass loop can free registers for other uses inside
the loop by spilling the split range.
llvm-svn: 121871
Whenever splitting wants to insert a copy, it checks if the value can be
rematerialized cheaply instead.
Missing features:
- Delete instructions when all uses have been rematerialized.
- Truncate live ranges to the remaining uses after rematerialization.
llvm-svn: 118702
source, and let rewrite() clean it up.
This way, kill flags on the inserted copies are fixed as well during rewrite().
We can't just assume that all the copies we insert are going to be kills since
critical edges into loop headers sometimes require both source and dest to be
live out of a block.
llvm-svn: 117980
in SSAUpdaterImpl.h
Verifying live intervals revealed that the old method was completely wrong, and
we need an iterative approach to calculating PHI placemant. Fortunately, we have
MachineDominators available, so we don't have to compute that over and over
like SSAUpdaterImpl.h must.
Live-out values are cached between calls to mapValue() and computed in a greedy
way, so most calls will be working with very small block sets.
Thanks to Bob for explaining how this should work.
llvm-svn: 117599
proper SSA updating.
This doesn't cause MachineDominators to be recomputed since we are already
requiring MachineLoopInfo which uses dominators as well.
llvm-svn: 117598
Critical edges going into a loop are not as bad as critical exits. We can handle
them by splitting the critical edge, or by having both inside and outside
registers live out of the predecessor.
llvm-svn: 117423
framework. It's purpose is not to improve register allocation per se,
but to make it easier to develop powerful live range splitting. I call
it the basic allocator because it is as simple as a global allocator
can be but provides the building blocks for sophisticated register
allocation with live range splitting.
A minimal implementation is provided that trivially spills whenever it
runs out of registers. I'm checking in now to get high-level design
and style feedback. I've only done minimal testing. The next step is
implementing a "greedy" allocation algorithm that does some register
reassignment and makes better splitting decisions.

Use LiveRangeEdit in InlineSpiller and SplitKit. This will eventually make it
possible to share remat code between InlineSpiller and SplitKit.

When the remainder breaks up into multiple components, remember to rewrite those
uses as well.

never kept after splitting.
Keeping the original interval made sense when the split region doesn't modify
the register, and the original is spilled. We can get the same effect by
detecting reloaded values when spilling around copies.
llvm-svn: 115695
Insert copy after defining instruction.
Fix LiveIntervalMap::extendTo to properly handle live segments starting before
the current basic block.
Make sure the open live range is extended to the inserted copy's use slot.

creating it before and subtracting split ranges.
This way, the SSA update code in LiveIntervalMap can properly create and use new
phi values in dupli. Now it is possible to create split regions where a value
escapes along two different CFG edges, creating phi values outside the split
region.
This is a work in progress and probably quite broken.
llvm-svn: 114492
great deal because we don't have to worry about maintaining SSA form.
Unconditionally copy back to dupli when the register is live out of the split
range, even if the live-out value was defined outside the range. Skipping the
back-copy only makes sense when the live range is going to spill outside the
split range, and we don't know that it will. Besides, this was a hack to avoid
SSA update issues.
Clear up some confusion about the end point of a half-open LiveRange. Methinks
LiveRanges need to be closed so both start and end are included in the range.
The low bits of a SlotIndex are symbolic, so a half-open range doesn't really
make sense. This would be a pervasive change, though.
llvm-svn: 114043
LiveIntervalMap maps values from a parent LiveInterval to a child interval that
is a strict subset. It will create phi-def values as needed to preserve the
VNInfo SSA form in the child interval.
This leads to an algorithm very similar to the one in SSAUpdaterImpl.h, but with
enough differences that the code can't be reused:
- We don't need to manipulate PHI instructions.
- LiveIntervals have kills.
- We have MachineDominatorTree.
- We can use df_iterator.
llvm-svn: 111393
The earliestStart argument is entirely specific to linear scan allocation, and
can be easily calculated by RegAllocLinearScan.
Replace std::vector with SmallVector.
llvm-svn: 111055
When a live range is contained a single block, we can split it around
instruction clusters. The current approach is very primitive, splitting before
and after the largest gap between uses.
llvm-svn: 111043
Before spilling a live range, we split it into a separate range for each basic
block where it is used. That way we only get one reload per basic block if the
new smaller ranges can allocate to a register.
This type of splitting is already present in the standard spiller.
llvm-svn: 110934
necessary.
Sometimes, live range splitting doesn't shrink the current interval, but simply
changes some instructions to use a new interval. That makes the original more
suitable for spilling. In this case, we don't need to duplicate the original.
llvm-svn: 110481
This is a work in progress. So far we have some basic loop analysis to help
determine where it is useful to split a live range around a loop.
The actual loop splitting code from Splitter.cpp is also going to move in here.
