Such edges are zero matrix, and they bring no additional info to the
allocation problem, apart from contributing to nodes' degree. Removing
those edges is expected to improve allocation time.
Tune the spill cost comparison, as this gives better average performances
now that the nodes' degrees has changed.
llvm-svn: 230904
Although such nodes are allocatable, the cost of spilling may be less than
allocating to register, so spilling the node may provide a better solution.
The assert does not account for this case, so remove it for now.
llvm-svn: 229103
The NodeMetadata are maintained in an incremental way. When an edge between
2 nodes has its cost updated, in the course of graph reduction for example,
the NodeMetadata need first to have the old edge cost removed, then the new
edge cost added. Only once the NodeMetadata have been fully updated, it
becomes safe to consider promoting the nodes to the
ConservativelyAllocatable or OptimallyReducible sets. Previously, this
promotion was occuring right after the removing the old cost, and this was
breaking the assumption that a ConservativelyAllocatable should not be
spilled.
This patch also adds asserts to:
- enforces the invariant that a node's reduction can not be downgraded,
- only not provably allocatable or optimally reducible nodes can be spilled.
llvm-svn: 228816
The PBQP::RegAlloc::MatrixMetadata class assumes that matrices have at least two
rows/columns (for the spill option plus at least one physreg). This patch
ensures that that invariant is met by pre-spilling vregs that have no physreg
options so that no node (and no corresponding edges) need be added to the PBQP
graph.
This fixes a bug in an out-of-tree target that was identified by Jonas Paulsson.
Thanks for tracking this down Jonas!

utils/sort_includes.py.
I clearly haven't done this in a while, so more changed than usual. This
even uncovered a missing include from the InstrProf library that I've
added. No functionality changed here, just mechanical cleanup of the
include order.

sets as keys into a cache of interference matrice values in the Interference
constraint adder.
Creating interference matrices was one of the large remaining time-sinks in
PBQP. Caching them reduces the total compile time (when using PBQP) on the
nightly test suite by ~10%.

Apparently unique_ptr'ifying NodeMetadata exposed an issue in VS where it
occasionally tries to synthesize copy constructors instead of moves. Hopefully
explicitly deleting the copy constructor and defining the move constructor will
fix this.

This patch removes the PBQPBuilder class and its subclasses and replaces them
with a composable constraints class: PBQPRAConstraint. This allows constraints
that are only required for optimisation (e.g. coalescing, soft pairing) to be
mixed and matched.
This patch also introduces support for target writers to supply custom
constraints for their targets by overriding a TargetSubtargetInfo method:
std::unique_ptr<PBQPRAConstraints> getCustomPBQPConstraints() const;
This patch should have no effect on allocations.
llvm-svn: 219421
This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

The previous PBQP solver was very robust but consumed a lot of memory,
performed a lot of redundant computation, and contained some unnecessarily tight
coupling that prevented experimentation with novel solution techniques. This new
solver is an attempt to address these shortcomings.
Important/interesting changes:
1) The domain-independent PBQP solver class, HeuristicSolverImpl, is gone.
It is replaced by a register allocation specific solver, PBQP::RegAlloc::Solver
(see RegAllocSolver.h).
The optimal reduction rules and the backpropagation algorithm have been extracted
into stand-alone functions (see ReductionRules.h), which can be used to build
domain specific PBQP solvers. This provides many more opportunities for
domain-specific knowledge to inform the PBQP solvers' decisions. In theory this
should allow us to generate better solutions. In practice, we can at least test
out ideas now.
As a side benefit, I believe the new solver is more readable than the old one.
2) The solver type is now a template parameter of the PBQP graph.
This allows the graph to notify the solver of any modifications made (e.g. by
domain independent rules) without the overhead of a virtual call. It also allows
the solver to supply policy information to the graph (see below).
3) Significantly reduced memory overhead.
Memory management policy is now an explicit property of the PBQP graph (via
the CostAllocator typedef on the graph's solver template argument). Because PBQP
graphs for register allocation tend to contain many redundant instances of
single values (E.g. the value representing an interference constraint between
GPRs), the new RASolver class uses a uniquing scheme. This massively reduces
memory consumption for large register allocation problems. For example, looking
at the largest interference graph in each of the SPEC2006 benchmarks (the
largest graph will always set the memory consumption high-water mark for PBQP),
the average memory reduction for the PBQP costs was 400x. That's times, not
percent. The highest was 1400x. Yikes. So - this is fixed.
"PBQP: No longer feasting upon every last byte of your RAM".
Minor details:
- Fully C++11'd. Never copy-construct another vector/matrix!
- Cute tricks with cost metadata: Metadata that is derived solely from cost
matrices/vectors is attached directly to the cost instances themselves. That way
if you unique the costs you never have to recompute the metadata. 400x less
memory means 400x less cost metadata (re)computation.
Special thanks to Arnaud de Grandmaison, who has been the source of much
encouragement, and of many very useful test cases.
This new solver forms the basis for future work, of which there's plenty to do.
I will be adding TODO notes shortly.

The new graph structure replaces the node and edge linked lists with vectors.
Free lists (well, free vectors) are used for fast insertion/deletion.
The ultimate aim is to make PBQP graphs cheap to clone. The motivation is that
the PBQP solver destructively consumes input graphs while computing a solution,
forcing the graph to be fully reconstructed for each round of PBQP. This
imposes a high cost on large functions, which often require several rounds of
solving/spilling to find a final register allocation. If we can cheaply clone
the PBQP graph and incrementally update it between rounds then hopefully we can
reduce this cost. Further, once we begin pooling matrix/vector values (future
work), we can cache some PBQP solver metadata and share it between cloned
graphs, allowing the PBQP solver to re-use some of the computation done in
earlier rounds.
For now this is just a data structure update. The allocator and solver still
use the graph the same way as before, fully reconstructing it between each
round. I expect no material change from this update, although it may change
the iteration order of the nodes, causing ties in the solver to break in
different directions, and this could perturb the generated allocations
(hopefully in a completely benign way).
Thanks very much to Arnaud Allard de Grandmaison for encouraging me to get back
to work on this, and for a lot of discussion and many useful PBQP test cases.

The main advantages here are way better heuristics, taking into account not
just loop depth but also __builtin_expect and other static heuristics and will
eventually learn how to use profile info. Most of the work in this patch is
pushing the MachineBlockFrequencyInfo analysis into the right places.
This is good for a 5% speedup on zlib's deflate (x86_64), there were some very
unfortunate spilling decisions in its hottest loop in longest_match(). Other
benchmarks I tried were mostly neutral.
This changes register allocation in subtle ways, update the tests for it.
2012-02-20-MachineCPBug.ll was deleted as it's very fragile and the instruction
it looked for was gone already (but the FileCheck pattern picked up unrelated
stuff).

This is a rework of the broken parts in r179373 which were subsequently reverted in r179374 due to incompatibility with C++98 compilers. This version should be ok under C++98.

AKA: Recompile *ALL* the source code!
This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

Allocator instances can now be created by calling createPBQPRegisterAllocator.
Tidied up use of CoalescerPair as per Jakob's suggestions.
Made the new PBQPBuilder based construction process the default. The internal construction process
remains in-place and available via -pbqp-builder=false for now. It will be removed shortly if the new
process doesn't cause any regressions.
llvm-svn: 114626
For now the allocator still uses the old (internal) construction mechanism by default. This will be phased out soon assuming
no issues with the builder system come up.
To invoke the new construction mechanism just pass '-regalloc=pbqp -pbqp-builder' to llc. To provide custom constraints a
Target just needs to extend PBQPBuilder and pass an instance of their derived builder to the RegAllocPBQP constructor.
