Relax the constraint for empty live-ranges while doing last chance
recoloring. Indeed, those live-ranges do not need an actual color to be
fond for the recoloring to work.
Empty live-range may happen as a result of splitting/spilling.

Summary:
Previously, when allocating unspillable live ranges, we would never
attempt to split. We would always bail out and try last ditch graph
recoloring.
This patch changes this by attempting to split all live intervals before
performing recoloring.
This fixes LLVM bug PR14879.
I can't add test cases for any backends other than AVR because none of
them have small enough register classes to trigger the bug.

When trying to recolor a register we may split live-ranges in the
process. When we create new live-ranges we will have to process them,
but when we move a register from Assign to Split, the allocation is not
changed until the whole recoloring session is successful.
Therefore, only push the live-ranges that changed from Assign to
Split when the recoloring is successful.
Same as the previous commit, I was not able to produce a test case that
reproduce the problem with in-tree targets.
Note: The bug has been here since the recoloring scheme has been added
back in r200883 (Feb 2014).

When last chance recoloring is used, the list of NewVRegs may not be
empty when calling selectOrSplitImpl. Indeed, another coloring may have
taken place with splitting/spilling in the same recoloring session.
Relax an assertion to take this into account and adapt a condition to
act as if the NewVRegs were local to this selectOrSplitImpl instance.
Unfortunately I am unable to produce a test case for this, I was only
able to reproduce the conditions on an out-of-tree target.

Replace analyzeSiblingValues with new algorithm to fix its compile
time issue. The patch is to solve PR17409 and its duplicates.
analyzeSiblingValues is a N x N complexity algorithm where N is
the number of siblings generated by reg splitting. Although it
causes siginificant compile time issue when N is large, it is also
important for performance since it removes redundent spills and
enables rematerialization.
To solve the compile time issue, the patch removes analyzeSiblingValues
and replaces it with lower cost alternatives containing two parts. The
first part creates a new spill hoisting method in postOptimization of
register allocation. It does spill hoisting at once after all the spills
are generated instead of inside every instance of selectOrSplit. The
second part queries the define expr of the original register for
rematerializaiton and keep it always available during register allocation
even if it is already dead. It deletes those dead instructions only in
postOptimization. With the two parts in the patch, it can remove
analyzeSiblingValues without sacrificing performance.

MachineFunctionProperties represents a set of properties that a MachineFunction
can have at particular points in time. Existing examples of this idea are
MachineRegisterInfo::isSSA() and MachineRegisterInfo::tracksLiveness() which
will eventually be switched to use this mechanism.
This change introduces the AllVRegsAllocated property; i.e. the property that
all virtual registers have been allocated and there are no VReg operands
left.
With this mechanism, passes can declare that they require a particular property
to be set, or that they set or clear properties by implementing e.g.
MachineFunctionPass::getRequiredProperties(). The MachineFunctionPass base class
verifies that the requirements are met, and handles the setting and clearing
based on the delcarations. Passes can also directly query and update the current
properties of the MF if they want to have conditional behavior.
This change annotates the target-independent post-regalloc passes; future
changes will also annotate target-specific ones.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.

PR24139 contains an analysis of poor register allocation. One of the findings
was that when calculating the spill weight, a rematerializable interval once
split is no longer rematerializable. This is because the isRematerializable
check in CalcSpillWeights.cpp does not follow the copies introduced by live
range splitting (after splitting, the live interval register definition is a
copy which is not rematerializable).

The idea of deferred spilling is to delay the insertion of spill code until the
very end of the allocation. A "candidate" to spill variable might not required
to be spilled because of other evictions that happened after this decision was
taken. The spirit is similar to the optimistic coloring strategy implemented in
Preston and Briggs graph coloring algorithm.
For now, this feature is highly experimental. Although correct, it would require
much more modification to properly model the effect of spilling.
Anyway, this early patch helps prototyping this feature.
Note: The test case cannot unfortunately be reduced and is probably fragile.

When allocating live intervals in linear order and all of them are local
to a single basic block you get an optimal coloring. This is also true
if you reverse the order, but it is not true if you sort live ranges
beginnings in reverse order, change to sort live range endings in
reverse order. Take the following live ranges for example:
|---| |--------|
|----------| |-------|
They get colored suboptimally with 3 registers if you sort the live range
starting points in reverse order (but optimally with live range begins in order,
or live range ends in reverse order).
Apparently the previous strategy was intentional because of allocation
time considerations. I am having a hard time replicating these effects,
while I see substantial improvements in allocation quality with this
change.
No testcase as none of the (in tree) targets use reverse order mode.

A broken hint is a copy where both ends are assigned different colors. When a
variable gets evicted in the neighborhood of such copies, it is likely we can
reconcile some of them.
** Context **
Copies are inserted during the register allocation via splitting. These split
points are required to relax the constraints on the allocation problem. When
such a point is inserted, both ends of the copy would not share the same color
with respect to the current allocation problem. When variables get evicted,
the allocation problem becomes different and some split point may not be
required anymore. However, the related variables may already have been colored.
This usually shows up in the assembly with pattern like this:
def A
...
save A to B
def A
use A
restore A from B
...
use B
Whereas we could simply have done:
def B
...
def A
use A
...
use B
** Proposed Solution **
A variable having a broken hint is marked for late recoloring if and only if
selecting a register for it evict another variable. Indeed, if no eviction
happens this is pointless to look for recoloring opportunities as it means the
situation was the same as the initial allocation problem where we had to break
the hint.
Finally, when everything has been allocated, we look for recoloring
opportunities for all the identified candidates.
The recoloring is performed very late to rely on accurate copy cost (all
involved variables are allocated).
The recoloring is simple unlike the last change recoloring. It propagates the
color of the broken hint to all its copy-related variables. If the color is
available for them, the recoloring uses it, otherwise it gives up on that hint
even if a more complex coloring would have worked.
The recoloring happens only if it is profitable. The profitability is evaluated
using the expected frequency of the copies of the currently recolored variable
with a) its current color and b) with the target color. If a) is greater or
equal than b), then it is profitable and the recoloring happen.
** Example **
Consider the following example:
BB1:
a =
b =
BB2:
...
= b
= a
Let us assume b gets split:
BB1:
a =
b =
BB2:
c = b
...
d = c
= d
= a
Because of how the allocation work, b, c, and d may be assigned different
colors. Now, if a gets evicted to make room for c, assuming b and d were
assigned to something different than a.
We end up with:
BB1:
a =
st a, SpillSlot
b =
BB2:
c = b
...
d = c
= d
e = ld SpillSlot
= e
This is likely that we can assign the same register for b, c, and d,
getting rid of 2 copies.
** Performances **
Both ARM64 and x86_64 show performance improvements of up to 3% for the
llvm-testsuite + externals with Os and O3. There are a few regressions too that
comes from the (in)accuracy of the block frequency estimate.

This patch improves how the different costs (register, interference, spill
and coalescing) relates together. The assumption is now that:
- coalescing (or any other "side effect" of reg alloc) is negative, and
instead of being derived from a spill cost, they use the block
frequency info.
- spill costs are in the [MinSpillCost:+inf( range
- register or interference costs are in [0.0:MinSpillCost( or +inf
The current MinSpillCost is set to 10.0, which is a random value high
enough that the current constraint builders do not need to worry about
when settings costs. It would however be worth adding a normalization
step for register and interference costs as the last step in the
constraint builder chain to ensure they are not greater than SpillMinCost
(unless this has some sense for some architectures). This would work well
with the current builder pipeline, where all costs are tweaked relatively
to each others, but could grow above MinSpillCost if the pipeline is
deep enough.
The current heuristic is tuned to depend rather on the number of uses of
a live interval rather than a density of uses, as used by the greedy
allocator. This heuristic provides a few percent improvement on a number
of benchmarks (eembc, spec, ...) and will definitely need to change once
spill placement is implemented: the current spill placement is really
ineficient, so making the cost proportionnal to the number of use is a
clear win.

Before evicting a local variable, this heuristic tries to find another (set of)

In some extreme cases (large basic blocks with tons of local variables), the

heuristic must perform, with no code gen gain.
