base which it adds a single analysis pass to, to instead return the type
erased TargetTransformInfo object constructed for that TargetMachine.
This removes all of the pass variants for TTI. There is now a single TTI
*pass* in the Analysis layer. All of the Analysis <-> Target
communication is through the TTI's type erased interface itself. While
the diff is large here, it is nothing more that code motion to make
types available in a header file for use in a different source file
within each target.
I've tried to keep all the doxygen comments and file boilerplate in line
with this move, but let me know if I missed anything.
With this in place, the next step to making TTI work with the new pass
manager is to introduce a really simple new-style analysis that produces
a TTI object via a callback into this routine on the target machine.
Once we have that, we'll have the building blocks necessary to accept
a function argument as well.

type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.
The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.
I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.
There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.
The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.
Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.
The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]
Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:
1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
the TTI in each target.
Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

I'm recommiting the codegen part of the patch.
The vectorizer part will be send to review again.
Masked Vector Load and Store Intrinsics.
Introduced new target-independent intrinsics in order to support masked vector loads and stores. The loop vectorizer optimizes loops containing conditional memory accesses by generating these intrinsics for existing targets AVX2 and AVX-512. The vectorizer asks the target about availability of masked vector loads and stores.
Added SDNodes for masked operations and lowering patterns for X86 code generator.
Examples:
<16 x i32> @llvm.masked.load.v16i32(i8* %addr, <16 x i32> %passthru, i32 4 /* align */, <16 x i1> %mask)
declare void @llvm.masked.store.v8f64(i8* %addr, <8 x double> %value, i32 4, <8 x i1> %mask)
Scalarizer for other targets (not AVX2/AVX-512) will be done in a separate patch.

AVX2 is available.
According to IACA, the new lowering has a throughput of 8 cycles instead of 13
with the previous one.
Althought this lowering kicks in some SPECs benchmarks, the performance
improvement was within the noise.
Correctness testing has been done for the whole range of uint32_t with the
following program:
uint4 v = (uint4) {0,1,2,3};
uint32_t i;
//Check correctness over entire range for uint4 -> float4 conversion
for( i = 0; i < 1U << (32-2); i++ )
{
float4 t = test(v);
float4 c = correct(v);
if( 0xf != _mm_movemask_ps( t == c ))
{
printf( "Error @ %vx: %vf vs. %vf\n", v, c, t);
return -1;
}
v += 4;
}
Where "correct" is the old lowering and "test" the new one.
The patch adds a test case for the two custom lowering instruction.
It also modifies the vector cost model, which is why cast.ll and uitofp.ll are
modified.
2009-02-26-MachineLICMBug.ll is also modified because we now hoist 7
instructions instead of 4 (3 more constant loads).

This patch:
1) Improves the cost model for x86 alternate shuffles (originally
added at revision 211339);
2) Teaches the Cost Model Analysis pass how to analyze alternate shuffles.
Alternate shuffles are a special kind of blend; on x86, we can often
easily lowered alternate shuffled into single blend
instruction (depending on the subtarget features).
The existing cost model didn't take into account subtarget features.
Also, it had a couple of "dead" entries for vector types that are never
legal (example: on x86 types v2i32 and v2f32 are not legal; those are
always either promoted or widened to 128-bit vector types).
The new x86 cost model takes into account what target features we have
before returning the shuffle cost (i.e. the number of instructions
after the blend is lowered/expanded).
This patch also teaches the Cost Model Analysis how to identify and analyze
alternate shuffles (i.e. 'SK_Alternate' shufflevector instructions):
- added function 'isAlternateVectorMask';
- added some logic to check if an instruction is a alternate shuffle and, in
case, call the target specific TTI to get the corresponding shuffle cost;
- added a test to verify the cost model analysis on alternate shuffles.
llvm-svn: 212296
This patch adds support to recognize patterns such as fadd,fsub,fadd,fsub.../add,sub,add,sub... and
vectorizes them as vector shuffles if they are profitable.
These patterns of vector shuffle can later be converted to instructions such as addsubpd etc on X86.

This improves the X86 cost model for small constants with large types. Before
this commit we would even hoist trivial constants such as i96 2.
This is related to <rdar://problem/17070936>
llvm-svn: 210504
Currently the X86 backend doesn't support types larger than i128 very well. For
example an i192 multiply will assert in codegen when the 2nd argument is a constant and the constant got hoisted.
This fix changes the cost model to never hoist constants for types larger than
i128. Once the codegen issues have been resolved, the cost model can be updated
to allow also larger types.

The old method used by X86TTI to determine partial-unrolling thresholds was
messy (because it worked by testing target features), and also would not
correctly identify the target CPU if certain target features were disabled.
After some discussions on IRC with Chandler et al., it was decided that the
processor scheduling models were the right containers for this information
(because it is often tied to special uop dispatch-buffer sizes).
This does represent a small functionality change:
- For generic x86-64 (which uses the SB model and, thus, will get some
unrolling).
- For AMD cores (because they still currently use the SB scheduling model)
- For Haswell (based on benchmarking by Louis Gerbarg, it was decided to bump
the default threshold to 50; we're working on a test case for this).
Otherwise, nothing has changed for any other targets. The logic, however, has
been moved into BasicTTI, so other targets may now also opt-in to this
functionality simply by setting LoopMicroOpBufferSize in their processor
model definitions.
llvm-svn: 208289
The loop stream detector (LSD) on modern Intel cores, which optimizes the
execution of small loops, has limits on the number of taken branches in
addition to uop-count limits (modern AMD cores have similar limits).
Unfortunately, at the IR level, estimating the number of branches that will be
taken is difficult. For one thing, it strongly depends on later passes (block
placement, etc.). The original implementation took a conservative approach and
limited the maximal BB DFS depth of the loop. However, fairly-extensive
benchmarking by several of us has revealed that this is the wrong approach. In
fact, there are zero known cases where the branch limit prevents a detrimental
unrolling (but plenty of cases where it does prevent beneficial unrolling).
While we could improve the current branch counting logic by incorporating
branch probabilities, this further complication seems unjustified without a
motivating regression. Instead, unless and until a regression appears, the
branch counting will be removed.
llvm-svn: 208255
There is no need to check if we want to hoist the immediate value of an
shift instruction. Simply return TCC_Free right away.
This change is like r206101, but for X86.

llvm-svn: 207692
This provides an initial implementation of getUnrollingPreferences for x86.
getUnrollingPreferences is used by the generic (concatenation) unroller, which
is distinct from the unrolling done by the loop vectorizer. Many modern x86
cores have some kind of uop cache and loop-stream detector (LSD) used to
efficiently dispatch small loops, and taking full advantage of this requires
unrolling small loops (small here means 10s of uops).
These caches also have limits on the number of taken branches in the loop, and
so we also cap the loop unrolling factor based on the maximum "depth" of the
loop. This is currently calculated with a partial DFS traversal (partial
because it will stop early if the path length grows too much). This is still an
approximation, and one that is both conservative (because it does not account
for branches eliminated via block placement) and optimistic (because it is only
recording the maximum depth over minimum paths). Nevertheless, because the
loops that fit in these uop caches are so small, it is not clear how much the
details matter.
The original set of patches posted for review produced the following test-suite
performance results (from the TSVC benchmark) at that time:
ControlLoops-dbl - 13% speedup
ControlLoops-flt - 15% speedup
Reductions-dbl - 7.5% speedup
llvm-svn: 205348
There is no direct AVX instruction to convert to unsigned. I have some ideas
how we may be able to do this with three vector instructions but the current
backend just bails on this to get it scalarized.
See the comment why we need to adjust the cost returned by BasicTTI.
The test is a bit roundabout (and checks assembly rather than bit code) because
I'd like it to work even if at some point we could vectorize this conversion.

If getElementPtr uses a constant as base pointer, then make the constant opaque.
This prevents constant folding it with the offset. The offset can usually be
encoded in the load/store instruction itself and the base address doesn't have
to be rematerialized several times.

the stack of the analysis group because they are all immutable passes.
This is made clear by Craig's recent work to use override
systematically -- we weren't overriding anything for 'finalizePass'
because there is no such thing.
This is kind of a lame restriction on the API -- we can no longer push
and pop things, we just set up the stack and run. However, I'm not
invested in building some better solution on top of the existing
(terrifying) immutable pass and legacy pass manager.

'OK_NonUniformConstValue' to identify operands which are constants but
not constant splats.
The cost model now allows returning 'OK_NonUniformConstValue'
for non splat operands that are instances of ConstantVector or
ConstantDataVector.
With this change, targets are now able to compute different costs
for instructions with non-uniform constant operands.
For example, On X86 the cost of a vector shift may vary depending on whether
the second operand is a uniform or non-uniform constant.
This patch applies the following changes:
- The cost model computation now takes into account non-uniform constants;
- The cost of vector shift instructions has been improved in
X86TargetTransformInfo analysis pass;
- BBVectorize, SLPVectorizer and LoopVectorize now know how to distinguish
between non-uniform and uniform constant operands.
Added a new test to verify that the output of opt
'-cost-model -analyze' is valid in the following configurations: SSE2,
SSE4.1, AVX, AVX2.

The most important part of this is probably adding any cost at all for
operations like zext <8 x i8> to <8 x i32>. Before they were being
recorded as extremely costly (24, I believe) which made LLVM fall back
on a 4-wide vectorisation of a loop.
It also rebalances the values for sext, zext and trunc. Lacking any
other sane metric that might work across CPU microarchitectures I went
for instructions. This seems to be in reasonable accord with the rest
of the table (sitofp, ...) though no doubt at least one value is
sub-optimal for some bizarre reason.
Finally, separate AVX and AVX2 values are provided where appropriate.
The CodeGen is quite different in many cases.

This commit caused -Woverloaded-virtual warnings. The two new
TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCost functions were only added to the superclass,
and to the X86 subclass. The other targets were not updated, and the
warning highlighted this by pointing out that e.g. ARMTTI::getIntImmCost was
hiding the two new getIntImmCost variants.
We could pacify the warning by adding "using TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCost"
to the various subclasses, or turning it off, but I suspect that it's wrong to
leave the functions unimplemnted in those targets. The default implementations
return TCC_Free, which I don't think is right e.g. for ARM.
