This should be sufficient to replace the initial (minor) function pass
pipeline in Clang with the new pass manager. I'll probably add an (off

An unreachable default destination can be exploited by other optimizations and
allows for more efficient lowering. Both the SDag switch lowering and
LowerSwitch can exploit unreachable defaults.
Also make TurnSwitchRangeICmp handle switches with unreachable default.
This is kind of separate change, but it cannot be tested without the change
above, and I don't want to land the change above without this since that would
regress other tests.

This commit moves `MDLocation`, finishing off PR21433. There's an
accompanying clang commit for frontend testcases. I'll attach the
testcase upgrade script I used to PR21433 to help out-of-tree
frontends/backends.
This changes the schema for `DebugLoc` and `DILocation` from:
!{i32 3, i32 7, !7, !8}
to:
!MDLocation(line: 3, column: 7, scope: !7, inlinedAt: !8)
Note that empty fields (line/column: 0 and inlinedAt: null) don't get
printed by the assembly writer.

The previous code assumed that such instructions could not have any uses
outside CaseDest, with the motivation that the instruction could not
dominate CommonDest because CommonDest has phi nodes in it. That simply
isn't true; e.g., CommonDest could have an edge back to itself.

- Fix the case where more than 1 common instructions derived from the same
operand cannot be sunk. When a pair of value has more than 1 derived values
in both branches, only 1 derived value could be sunk.
- Replace BB1 -> (BB2, PN) map with joint value map, i.e.
map of (BB1, BB2) -> PN, which is more accurate to track common ops.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm

An unreachable default destination can be exploited by other optimizations, and
SDag lowering is now prepared to handle them efficiently.
For example, branches to the unreachable destination will be optimized away,
such as in the case of range checks for switch lookup tables.
On 64-bit Linux, this reduces the size of a clang bootstrap by 80 kB (and
Chromium by 30 kB).

When converting a switch to a lookup table we might have to generate a bitmaks
to encode and check for holes in the original switch statement.
The type of this mask depends on the number of switch statements, which can
result in illegal types for pretty much all architectures.
To avoid unnecessary type legalization and help FastISel this commit increases
the size of the bitmask to next power-of-2 value when necessary.
This fixes rdar://problem/18984639.

This is a simple optimization for switch table lookup:
It computes the output value directly with an (optional) mul and add if there is a linear mapping between index and output.
Example:
int f1(int x) {
switch (x) {
case 0: return 10;
case 1: return 11;
case 2: return 12;
case 3: return 13;
}
return 0;
}
generates:
define i32 @f1(i32 %x) #0 {
entry:
%0 = icmp ult i32 %x, 4
br i1 %0, label %switch.lookup, label %return
switch.lookup:
%switch.offset = add i32 %x, 10

of returning the other operand if either is a NaN representing

%ptr.2 = phi i8* [ %ptr, %entry ], [ null, %bb1 ]

into this:
define void @test6(i1 %cond, i8* %ptr) {
%ptr.2 = select i1 %cond, i8* null, i8* %ptr
store i8 2, i8* %ptr.2, align 8
ret void
}
because the simplifycfg transformation into selects would happen to happen
before the simplifycfg transformation that removes unreachable control flow
(We have 'unreachable control flow' due to the store to null which is undefined
behavior).
The existing transformation that removes unreachable control flow in simplifycfg
is:
/// If BB has an incoming value that will always trigger undefined behavior
/// (eg. null pointer dereference), remove the branch leading here.
static bool removeUndefIntroducingPredecessor(BasicBlock *BB)
Now we generate:
define void @test6(i1 %cond, i8* %ptr) {

I did not see any impact on the test-suite + externals.

This optimization tries to convert switch instructions that are used to select a value with only 2 unique cases + default block
to a select or a couple of selects (depending if the default block is reachable or not).
The typical case this optimization wants to be able to optimize is this one:
Example:
switch (a) {
case 10: %0 = icmp eq i32 %a, 10
return 10; %1 = select i1 %0, i32 10, i32 4
case 20: ----> %2 = icmp eq i32 %a, 20
return 2; %3 = select i1 %2, i32 2, i32 %1
default:
return 4;
}
It also sets the base for further optimizations that are planned and being reviewed.

argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.

This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving

llvm-svn: 218778
Summary:
This patch adds a threshold that controls the number of bonus instructions
allowed for folding branches with common destination. The original code allows
at most one bonus instruction. With this patch, users can customize the
threshold to allow multiple bonus instructions. The default threshold is still
1, so that the code behaves the same as before when users do not specify this
threshold.
The motivation of this change is that tuning this threshold significantly (up
to 25%) improves the performance of some CUDA programs in our internal code
base. In general, branch instructions are very expensive for GPU programs.
Therefore, it is sometimes worth trading more arithmetic computation for a more
straightened control flow. Here's a reduced example:
__global__ void foo(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int n,
const int *input, int *output) {
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
sum += (((i ^ a) > b) && (((i | c ) ^ d) > e)) ? 0 : input[i];
*output = sum;
}
The select statement in the loop body translates to two branch instructions "if
((i ^ a) > b)" and "if (((i | c) ^ d) > e)" which share a common destination.
With the default threshold, SimplifyCFG is unable to fold them, because
computing the condition of the second branch "(i | c) ^ d > e" requires two
bonus instructions. With the threshold increased, SimplifyCFG can fold the two
branches so that the loop body contains only one branch, making the code
conceptually look like:
sum += (((i ^ a) > b) & (((i | c ) ^ d) > e)) ? 0 : input[i];
Increasing the threshold significantly improves the performance of this
particular example. In the configuration where both conditions are guaranteed
to be true, increasing the threshold from 1 to 2 improves the performance by
18.24%. Even in the configuration where the first condition is false and the
second condition is true, which favors shortcuts, increasing the threshold from
1 to 2 still improves the performance by 4.35%.
We are still looking for a good threshold and maybe a better cost model than
just counting the number of bonus instructions. However, according to the above
numbers, we think it is at least worth adding a threshold to enable more
experiments and tuning. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
Test Plan: Added one test case to check the threshold is in effect

The lifetime intrinsics need some work in order to make it clear which

For now dropping this optimization avoids a miscompilation.
Patch by Björn Steinbrink.
llvm-svn: 214336
This is the first commit in a series that add an @llvm.assume intrinsic which
can be used to provide the optimizer with a condition it may assume to be true
(when the control flow would hit the intrinsic call). Some basic properties are added here:
- llvm.invariant(true) is dead.
- llvm.invariant(false) is unreachable (this directly corresponds to the
documented behavior of MSVC's __assume(0)), so is llvm.invariant(undef).
The intrinsic is tagged as writing arbitrarily, in order to maintain control
dependencies. BasicAA has been updated, however, to return NoModRef for any
particular location-based query so that we don't unnecessarily block code
motion.

We use gep to access the global array "switch.table", and the table index
should be treated as unsigned. When the highest bit is 1, this commit
zero-extends the index to an integer type with larger size.
For a switch on i2, we used to generate:
%switch.tableidx = sub i2 %0, -2
getelementptr inbounds [4 x i64]* @switch.table, i32 0, i2 %switch.tableidx
It is incorrect when %switch.tableidx is 2 or 3. The fix is to generate
%switch.tableidx = sub i2 %0, -2
%switch.tableidx.zext = zext i2 %switch.tableidx to i3
getelementptr inbounds [4 x i64]* @switch.table, i32 0, i3 %switch.tableidx.zext

We would previously put dllimport variables in switch lookup tables, which

There has been an old FIXME to find the right cut-off for when it's worth
analyzing and potentially transforming a switch to a lookup table.
The switches always have two or more cases. I could not measure any speed-up
by transforming a switch with two cases. A switch with three cases gets a nice
speed-up, and I couldn't measure any compile-time regression, so I think this
is the right threshold.
In a Clang self-host, this causes 480 new switches to be transformed,
and reduces the final binary size with 8 KB.

case when the lookup table doesn't have any holes.
This means we can build a lookup table for switches like this:
switch (x) {
case 0: return 1;
case 1: return 2;
case 2: return 3;
case 3: return 4;
default: exit(1);
}
The default case doesn't yield a constant result here, but that doesn't matter,
since a default result is only necessary for filling holes in the lookup table,
and this table doesn't have any holes.
This makes us transform 505 more switches in a clang bootstrap, and shaves 164 KB
off the resulting clang binary.
llvm-svn: 199025

One optimization simplify-cfg performs is the converting of switches to
lookup tables if the switch has > 4 cases. This is done by:
1. Finding the max/min case value and calculating the switch case range.
2. Create a lookup table basic block.
3. Perform a check in the switch's BB to see if the input value is in
the switch's case range. If the input value satisfies said predicate
branch to the lookup table BB, otherwise branch to the switch's default
destination BB using the default value as the result.
The conditional check consists of subtracting the min case value of the
table from any input iN value and then ensuring that said value is
unsigned less than the size of the lookup table represented as an iN
value.
If the lookup table is a covered lookup table, the size of the table will be N
which is 0 as an iN value. Thus the comparison will be an `icmp ult` of an iN
value against 0 which is always false yielding the incorrect result.
This patch fixes this problem by recognizing if we have a covered lookup table
and if we do, unconditionally jumps to the lookup table BB since the covering
property of the lookup table implies no input values could not be handled by
said BB.

The problem this time seems to be a thinko. We were assuming that in the CFG
A

speculating the basic block B would cause only the phi value for the B->C edge
to be speculated. That is not true, the phi's are semantically in the edges, so
if the A->B->C path is taken, any code needed for A->C is not executed and we
have to consider it too when deciding to speculate B.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
