This resurrects r179957, but adds code that makes sure we don't touch
atomic/volatile stores:
This transformation will transform a conditional store with a preceeding
uncondtional store to the same location:
a[i] =
may-alias with a[i] load
if (cond)
a[i] = Y
into an unconditional store.
a[i] = X
may-alias with a[i] load
tmp = cond ? Y : X;
a[i] = tmp
We assume that on average the cost of a mispredicted branch is going to be
higher than the cost of a second store to the same location, and that the
secondary benefits of creating a bigger basic block for other optimizations to
work on outway the potential case where the branch would be correctly predicted
and the cost of the executing the second store would be noticably reflected in
performance.
hmmer's execution time improves by 30% on an imac12,2 on ref data sets. With
this change we are on par with gcc's performance (gcc also performs this
transformation). There was a 1.2 % performance improvement on a ARM swift chip.
Other tests in the test-suite+external seem to be mostly uninfluenced in my
experiments:
This optimization was triggered on 41 tests such that the executable was
different before/after the patch. Only 1 out of the 40 tests (dealII) was
reproducable below 100% (by about .4%). Given that hmmer benefits so much I
believe this to be a fair trade off.
llvm-svn: 180731
There is the temptation to make this tranform dependent on target information as
it is not going to be beneficial on all (sub)targets. Therefore, we should
probably do this in MI Early-Ifconversion.
This reverts commit r179957. Original commit message:

If a switch instruction has a case for every possible value of its type,
with the same successor, SimplifyCFG would replace it with an icmp ult,
but the computation of the bound overflows in that case, which inverts
the test.
Patch by Jed Davis!
llvm-svn: 179587
Fixes rdar:13349374.
Volatile loads and stores need to be preserved even if the language
standard says they are undefined. "volatile" in this context means "get
out of the way compiler, let my platform handle it".
Additionally, this is the only way I know of with llvm to write to the
first page (when hardware allows) without dropping to assembly.
llvm-svn: 176599
Listing all of the attributes for the callee of a call/invoke instruction is way
too much and makes the IR unreadable. Use references to attributes instead.
llvm-svn: 175877
loops over instructions in the basic block or the use-def list of the
value, neither of which are really efficient when repeatedly querying
about values in the same basic block.
What's more, we already know that the CondBB is small, and so we can do
a much more efficient test by counting the uses in CondBB, and seeing if
those account for all of the uses.
Finally, we shouldn't blanket fail on any such instruction, instead we
should conservatively assume that those instructions are part of the
cost.
Note that this actually fixes a bug in the pass because
isUsedInBasicBlock has a really terrible bug in it. I'll fix that in my
next commit, but the fix for it would make this code suddenly take the
compile time hit I thought it already was taking, so I wanted to go
ahead and migrate this code to a faster & better pattern.
The bug in isUsedInBasicBlock was also causing other tests to test the
wrong thing entirely: for example we weren't actually disabling
speculation for floating point operations as intended (and tested), but
the test passed because we failed to speculate them due to the
isUsedInBasicBlock failure.

Original commit message:
Plug TTI into the speculation logic, giving it a real cost interface
that can be specialized by targets.
The goal here is not to be more aggressive, but to just be more accurate
with very obvious cases. There are instructions which are known to be
truly free and which were not being modeled as such in this code -- see
the regression test which is distilled from an inner loop of zlib.
Everywhere the TTI cost model is insufficiently conservative I've added
explicit checks with FIXME comments to go add proper modelling of these
cost factors.
If this causes regressions, the likely solution is to make TTI even more
conservative in its cost estimates, but test cases will help here.

a cost fuction that seems both a bit ad-hoc and also poorly suited to
evaluating constant expressions.
Notably, it is missing any support for trivial expressions such as
'inttoptr'. I could fix this routine, but it isn't clear to me all of
the constraints its other users are operating under.
The core protection that seems relevant here is avoiding the formation
of a select instruction wich a further chain of select operations in
a constant expression operand. Just explicitly encode that constraint.
Also, update the comments and organization here to make it clear where
this needs to go -- this should be driven off of real cost measurements
which take into account the number of constants expressions and the
depth of the constant expression tree.

By propagating the value for the switch condition, LLVM can now build
lookup tables for code such as:
switch (x) {
case 1: return 5;
case 2: return 42;
case 3: case 4: case 5:
return x - 123;
default:
return 123;
}
Given that x is known for each case, "x - 123" becomes a constant for
cases 3, 4, and 5.
llvm-svn: 167115
When the switch-to-lookup tables transform landed in SimplifyCFG, it
was pointed out that this could be inappropriate for some targets.
Since there was no way at the time for the pass to know anything about
the target, an awkward reverse-transform was added in CodeGenPrepare
that turned lookup tables back into switches for some targets.
This patch uses the new TargetTransformInfo to determine if a
switch should be transformed, and removes
CodeGenPrepare::ConvertLoadToSwitch.
llvm-svn: 167011
The isValueEqualityComparison() guard at the top of SimplifySwitch()
only applies to some of the possible transformations.
The newer transformations work just fine on large switches, and the
check on predecessor count is nonsensical.
llvm-svn: 166710
We conservatively only check the first use to avoid walking long use chains.
This catches the common case of having both a load and a store to a pointer
supplied by a PHI node.
llvm-svn: 165232
If the width is very large it gets truncated from uint64_t to uint32_t when
passed to TD->fitsInLegalInteger. The truncated value can fit in a register.
This manifested in massive memory usage or crashes (PR13946).

- Put statistics in alphabetical order
- Don't use getZextValue when building TableInt, just use APInts

tables in bitmaps when they fit in a target-legal register.
This saves some space, and it also allows for building tables that would
otherwise be deemed too sparse.
One interesting case that this hits is example 7 from
http://blog.regehr.org/archives/320. We currently generate good code
for this when lowering the switch to the selection DAG: we build a
bitmask to decide whether to jump to one block or the other. My patch
will result in the same bitmask, but it removes the need for the jump,
as the return value can just be retrieved from the mask.
llvm-svn: 164684
We already have HoistThenElseCodeToIf, this patch implements
SinkThenElseCodeToEnd. When END block has only two predecessors and each
predecessor terminates with unconditional branches, we compare instructions in
IF and ELSE blocks backwards and check whether we can sink the common
instructions down.

two variables where the first variable is returned and the second
ignored.
I don't think this occurs in practice (other passes should have cleaned
up the unused phi node), but it should still be handled correctly.
Also make the logic for determining if we should return early less
sketchy.

destination.
Updated previous implementation to fix a case not covered:
// PBI: br i1 %x, TrueDest, BB
// BI: br i1 %y, TrueDest, FalseDest
The other case was handled correctly.
// PBI: br i1 %x, BB, FalseDest
// BI: br i1 %y, TrueDest, FalseDest
Also tried to use 64-bit arithmetic instead of APInt with scale to simplify the
computation. Let me know if you have other opinions about this.

a pair of switch/branch where both depend on the value of the same variable and
the default case of the first switch/branch goes to the second switch/branch.
Code clean up and fixed a few issues:
1> handling the case where some cases of the 2nd switch are invalidated
2> correctly calculate the weight for the 2nd switch when it is a conditional eq
Testing case is modified from Alastair's original patch.
llvm-svn: 163635
The lookup tables did not get built in a deterministic order.
This makes them get built in the order that the corresponding phi nodes
were found.
llvm-svn: 163305
This adds a transformation to SimplifyCFG that attemps to turn switch
instructions into loads from lookup tables. It works on switches that
are only used to initialize one or more phi nodes in a common successor
basic block, for example:
int f(int x) {
switch (x) {
case 0: return 5;
case 1: return 4;
case 2: return -2;
case 5: return 7;
case 6: return 9;
default: return 42;
}
This speeds up the code by removing the hard-to-predict jump, and
reduces code size by removing the code for the jump targets.
llvm-svn: 163302
another mechanical change accomplished though the power of terrible Perl
scripts.
I have manually switched some "s to 's to make escaping simpler.
While I started this to fix tests that aren't run in all configurations,
the massive number of tests is due to a really frustrating fragility of
our testing infrastructure: things like 'grep -v', 'not grep', and
'expected failures' can mask broken tests all too easily.
Essentially, I'm deeply disturbed that I can change the testsuite so
radically without causing any change in results for most platforms. =/
