Patch by Amaury Sechet
From: Mehdi Amini <mehdi.amini@apple.com>
llvm-svn: 232284
As a follow-up to r232200, add an `-instcombine` to canonicalize scalar
allocations to `i32 1`. Since r232200, `iX 1` (for X != 32) are only
created by RAUWs, so this shouldn't fire too often. Nevertheless, it's
a cheap check and a nice cleanup.
llvm-svn: 232202
Move type promotion of the size of the array allocation to the end of
`simplifyAllocaArraySize()`. This avoids promoting the type of the
array size if it's a `ConstantInt`, since the next -instcombine
iteration will drop it to a scalar allocation anyway. Similarly, this
avoids promoting the type if it's an `UndefValue`, in which case the
alloca gets RAUW'ed.
This is NFC when considered over the lifetime of -instcombine, since
it's just reducing the number of iterations needed to reach fixed point.
llvm-svn: 232201
Write the `alloca` array size explicitly when it's non-canonical.
Previously, if the array size was `iX 1` (where X is not 32), the type
would mutate to `i32` when round-tripping through assembly.
The testcase I added fails in `verify-uselistorder` (as well as
`FileCheck`), since the use-lists for `i32 1` and `i64 1` change.
(Manman Ren came across this when running `verify-uselistorder` on some
non-trivial, optimized code as part of PR5680.)
The type mutation started with r104911, which allowed array sizes to be
something other than an `i32`. Starting with r204945, we
"canonicalized" to `i64` on 64-bit platforms -- and then on every
round-trip through assembly, mutated back to `i32`.
I bundled a fixup for `-instcombine` to avoid r204945 on scalar
allocations. (There wasn't a clean way to sequence this into two
commits, since the assembly change on its own caused testcase churn, and
the `-instcombine` change can't be tested without the assembly changes.)
An obvious alternative fix -- change `AllocaInst::AllocaInst()`,
`AsmWriter` and `LLParser` to treat `intptr_t` as the canonical type for
scalar allocations -- was rejected out of hand, since this required
teaching them each about the data layout.
A follow-up commit will add an `-instcombine` to canonicalize the scalar
allocation array size to `i32 1` rather than leaving `iX 1` alone.

Follow-up commits will change some of the logic here. Splitting into a
separate function simplifies the logic by allowing early returns instead
of deeper nesting.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

Summary:
This change fixes the FIXME that you recently added when you committed
(a modified version of) my patch. When `InstCombine` combines a load and
store of an pointer to those of an equivalently-sized integer, it currently
drops any `!nonnull` metadata that might be present. This change replaces
`!nonnull` metadata with `!range !{ 1, -1 }` metadata instead.

This change addresses a deficiency pointed out in PR22629. To copy from the bug
report:
[from the bug report]
Consider this code:
int f(int x) {
int a[] = {12};
return a[x];
}
GCC knows to optimize this to
movl $12, %eax
ret
The code generated by recent Clang at -O3 is:
movslq %edi, %rax
movl .L_ZZ1fiE1a(,%rax,4), %eax
retq
.L_ZZ1fiE1a:
.long 12 # 0xc
[end from the bug report]
This definitely seems worth fixing. I've also seen this kind of code before (as
the base case of generic vector wrapper templates with one element).
The general idea is to look at the GEP feeding a load or a store, which has
some variable as its first non-zero index, and determine if that index must be
zero (or else an out-of-bounds access would occur). We can do this for allocas
and globals with constant initializers where we know the maximum size of the
underlying object. When we find such a GEP, we create a new one for the memory
access with that first variable index replaced with a constant zero.
Even if we can't eliminate the memory access (and sometimes we can't), it is
still useful because it removes unnecessary indexing calculations.
llvm-svn: 229959
propagating of metadata.
We were propagating !nonnull metadata even when the newly formed load is
no longer of a pointer type. This is clearly broken and results in LLVM
failing the verifier and aborting. This patch just restricts the
propagation of !nonnull metadata to when we actually have a pointer
type.
This bug report and the initial version of this patch was provided by
Charles Davis! Many thanks for finding this!
We still need to add logic to round-trip the metadata correctly if we
combine from pointer types to integer types and then back by using range
metadata for the integer type loads. But this is the minimal and safe
version of the patch, which is important so we can backport it into 3.6.

creating a non-internal header file for the InstCombine pass.
I thought about calling this InstCombiner.h or in some way more clearly
associating it with the InstCombiner clas that it is primarily defining,
but there are several other utility interfaces defined within this for
InstCombine. If, in the course of refactoring, those end up moving
elsewhere or going away, it might make more sense to make this the
combiner's header alone.
Naturally, this is a bikeshed to a certain degree, so feel free to lobby

ever stored to always use a legal integer type if one is available.
Regardless of whether this particular type is good or bad, it ensures we
don't get weird differences in generated code (and resulting
performance) from "equivalent" patterns that happen to end up using
a slightly different type.
After some discussion on llvmdev it seems everyone generally likes this
canonicalization. However, there may be some parts of LLVM that handle
it poorly and need to be fixed. I have at least verified that this
doesn't impede GVN and instcombine's store-to-load forwarding powers in
any obvious cases. Subtle cases are exactly what we need te flush out if
they remain.
Also note that this IR pattern should already be hitting LLVM from Clang
at least because it is exactly the IR which would be produced if you
used memcpy to copy a pointer or floating point between memory instead
of a variable.
llvm-svn: 226781
a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.
The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.
Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.
For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

This patches fixes a miscompile where we were assuming that loading from null is undefined and thus we could assume it doesn't happen. This transform is perfectly legal in address space 0, but is not neccessarily legal in other address spaces.
We really should introduce a hook to control this property on a per target per address space basis. We may be loosing valuable optimizations in some address spaces by being too conservative.

This is causing Clang to miscompile itself for 32-bit x86 somehow, and likely
also on ARM and PPC. I really don't know how, but reverting now that I've
confirmed this is actually the culprit. I have a reproduction as well and so
should be able to restore this shortly.
This reverts commit r223764.
Original commit log follows:
Teach instcombine to canonicalize "element extraction" from a load of an
integer and "element insertion" into a store of an integer into actual
element extraction, element insertion, and vector loads and stores.
Previously various parts of LLVM (including instcombine itself) would
introduce integer loads and stores into the code as a way of opaquely
loading and storing "bits". In some cases (such as a memcpy of
std::complex<float> object) we will eventually end up using those bits
in non-integer types. In order for SROA to effectively promote the
allocas involved, it splits these "store a bag of bits" integer loads
and stores up into the constituent parts. However, for non-alloca loads
and tsores which remain, it uses integer math to recombine the values
into a large integer to load or store.
All of this would be "fine", except that it forces LLVM to go through
integer math to combine and split up values. While this makes perfect
sense for integers (and in fact is critical for bitfields to end up
lowering efficiently) it is *terrible* for non-integer types, especially
floating point types. We have a much more canonical way of representing
the act of concatenating the bits of two SSA values in LLVM: a vector
and insertelement. This patch teaching InstCombine to use this
representation.
With this patch applied, LLVM will no longer introduce integer math into
the critical path of every loop over std::complex<float> operations such
as those that make up the hot path of ... oh, most HPC code, Eigen, and
any other heavy linear algebra library.
For the record, I looked *extensively* at fixing this in other parts of
the compiler, but it just doesn't work:
- We really do want to canonicalize memcpy and other bit-motion to
integer loads and stores. SSA values are tremendously more powerful
than "copy" intrinsics. Not doing this regresses massive amounts of
LLVM's scalar optimizer.
- We really do need to split up integer loads and stores of this form in
SROA or every memcpy of a trivially copyable struct will prevent SSA
formation of the members of that struct. It essentially turns off
SROA.
- The closest alternative is to actually split the loads and stores when
partitioning with SROA, but this has all of the downsides historically
discussed of splitting up loads and stores -- the wide-store
information is fundamentally lost. We would also see performance
regressions for bitfield-heavy code and other places where the
integers aren't really intended to be split without seemingly
arbitrary logic to treat integers totally differently.
- We *can* effectively fix this in instcombine, so it isn't that hard of
a choice to make IMO.

stored rather than the pointer type.
This change is analogous to r220138 which changed the canonicalization
for loads. The rationale is the same: memory does not have a type,
operations (and thus the values they produce) have a type. We should
match that type as closely as possible rather than reading some form of
semantics into the pointer type.
With this change, loads and stores should no longer be made with
nonsensical types for the values that tehy load and store. This is
particularly important when trying to match specific loaded and stored
types in the process of doing other instcombines, which is what led me
down this twisty maze of miscanonicalization.
I've put quite some effort into looking through IR to find places where
LLVM's optimizer was being unreasonably conservative in the face of
mismatched load and store types, however it is possible (let's say,
likely!) I have missed some. If you see regressions here, or from
r220138, the likely cause is some part of LLVM failing to cope with load
and store types differing. Test cases appreciated, it is important that
we root all of these out of LLVM.

Teach the load analysis to allow finding available values which require
inttoptr or ptrtoint cast provided there is datalayout available.
Eventually, the datalayout can just be required but in practice it will

To go with the ability to expose available values requiring a ptrtoint
or inttoptr cast, helpers are added to perform one of these three casts.
These smarts are necessary to finish canonicalizing loads and stores to
the operational type requirements without regressing fundamental
combines.
I've added some test cases. These should actually improve as the load
combining and store combining improves, but they may fundamentally be
highlighting some missing combines for select in addition to exercising
the specific added logic to load analysis.

When changing the type of a load in Chandler's recent InstCombine changes, we can preserve the new 'nonnull' metadata.
I considered adding an assert since 'nonnull' is only valid on pointer types, but casting a pointer to a non-pointer would involve more than a bitcast anyways. If someone extends this transform to handle more than bitcasts, the verifier will report the malformed IR, so a separate assertion isn't needed. Also, the fpmath flags would have the same problem.

Our metadata scheme lazily assigns IDs to string metadata, but we have a mechanism to preassign them as well. Using a preassigned ID is helpful since we get compile time type checking, and avoid some (minimal) string construction and comparison. This change adds enum value for three existing metadata types:
+ MD_nontemporal = 9, // "nontemporal"
+ MD_mem_parallel_loop_access = 10, // "llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access"
+ MD_nonnull = 11 // "nonnull"
I went through an updated various uses as well. I made no attempt to get all uses; I focused on the ones which were easily grepable and easily to translate. For example, there were several items in LoopInfo.cpp I chose not to update.

logic to look through pointer casts, making them trivially stronger in
the face of loads and stores with intervening pointer casts.
I've included a few test cases that demonstrate the kind of folding
instcombine can do without pointer casts and then variations which
obfuscate the logic through bitcasts. Without this patch, the variations
all fail to optimize fully.
This is more important now than it has been in the past as I've started
moving the load canonicialization to more closely follow the value type
requirements rather than the pointer type requirements and thus this
needs to be prepared for more pointer casts. When I made the same change
to stores several test cases regressed without logic along these lines
so I wanted to systematically improve matters first.

loads.
This handles many more cases than just the AA metadata, some of them
suggested by Hal in his review of the AA metadata handling patch. I've
tried to test this behavior where tractable to do so.
I'll point out that I have specifically *not* included a test for
debuginfo because it was going to require 2 or 3 times as much work to
craft some input which would survive the "helpful" stripping of debug
info metadata that doesn't match the desired schema. This is another
good example of why the current state of write-ability for our debug
info metadata is unacceptable. I spent over 30 minutes trying to conjure
some test case that would survive, even copying from other debug info
tests, but it always failed to survive with no explanation of why or how
I might fix it. =[

...)) and (load (cast ...)): canonicalize toward the former.
Historically, we've tried to load using the type of the *pointer*, and
tried to match that type as closely as possible removing as many pointer
casts as we could and trading them for bitcasts of the loaded value.
This is deeply and fundamentally wrong.
Repeat after me: memory does not have a type! This was a hard lesson for
me to learn working on SROA.
There is only one thing that should actually drive the type used for
a pointer, and that is the type which we need to use to load from that
pointer. Matching up pointer types to the loaded value types is very
useful because it minimizes the physical size of the IR required for
no-op casts. Similarly, the only thing that should drive the type used
for a loaded value is *how that value is used*! Again, this minimizes
casts. And in fact, the *only* thing motivating types in any part of
LLVM's IR are the types used by the operations in the IR. We should
match them as closely as possible.
I've ended up removing some tests here as they were testing bugs or
behavior that is no longer present. Mostly though, this is just cleanup
to let the tests continue to function as intended.
The only fallout I've found so far from this change was SROA and I have
fixed it to not be impeded by the different type of load. If you find
more places where this change causes optimizations not to fire, those
too are likely bugs where we are assuming that the type of pointers is
"significant" for optimization purposes.
llvm-svn: 220138
This change, which allows @llvm.assume to be used from within computeKnownBits
(and other associated functions in ValueTracking), adds some (optional)
parameters to computeKnownBits and friends. These functions now (optionally)
take a "context" instruction pointer, an AssumptionTracker pointer, and also a
DomTree pointer, and most of the changes are just to pass this new information
when it is easily available from InstSimplify, InstCombine, etc.
As explained below, the significant conceptual change is that known properties
of a value might depend on the control-flow location of the use (because we
care that the @llvm.assume dominates the use because assumptions have
control-flow dependencies). This means that, when we ask if bits are known in a
value, we might get different answers for different uses.
The significant changes are all in ValueTracking. Two main changes: First, as
with the rest of the code, new parameters need to be passed around. To make
this easier, I grouped them into a structure, and I made internal static
versions of the relevant functions that take this structure as a parameter. The
new code does as you might expect, it looks for @llvm.assume calls that make
use of the value we're trying to learn something about (often indirectly),
attempts to pattern match that expression, and uses the result if successful.
By making use of the AssumptionTracker, the process of finding @llvm.assume
calls is not expensive.
Part of the structure being passed around inside ValueTracking is a set of
already-considered @llvm.assume calls. This is to prevent a query using, for
example, the assume(a == b), to recurse on itself. The context and DT params
are used to find applicable assumptions. An assumption needs to dominate the
context instruction, or come after it deterministically. In this latter case we
only handle the specific case where both the assumption and the context
instruction are in the same block, and we need to exclude assumptions from
being used to simplify their own ephemeral values (those which contribute only
to the assumption) because otherwise the assumption would prove its feeding
comparison trivial and would be removed.
This commit adds the plumbing and the logic for a simple masked-bit propagation
(just enough to write a regression test). Future commits add more patterns
(and, correspondingly, more regression tests).

In order to enable the preservation of noalias function parameter information
after inlining, and the representation of block-level __restrict__ pointer
information (etc.), additional kinds of aliasing metadata will be introduced.
This metadata needs to be carried around in AliasAnalysis::Location objects
(and MMOs at the SDAG level), and so we need to generalize the current scheme
(which is hard-coded to just one TBAA MDNode*).
This commit introduces only the necessary refactoring to allow for the
introduction of other aliasing metadata types, but does not actually introduce
any (that will come in a follow-up commit). What it does introduce is a new
AAMDNodes structure to hold all of the aliasing metadata nodes associated with
a particular memory-accessing instruction, and uses that structure instead of
the raw MDNode* in AliasAnalysis::Location, etc.
No functionality change intended.
llvm-svn: 213859
This patch reduces the stack memory consumption of the InstCombine
function "isOnlyCopiedFromConstantGlobal() ", that in certain conditions
could overflow the stack because of excessive recursiveness.
For example, in a case like this:
%0 = alloca [50025 x i32], align 4
%1 = getelementptr inbounds [50025 x i32]* %0, i64 0, i64 0
store i32 0, i32* %1
%2 = getelementptr inbounds i32* %1, i64 1
store i32 1, i32* %2
%3 = getelementptr inbounds i32* %2, i64 1
store i32 2, i32* %3
%4 = getelementptr inbounds i32* %3, i64 1
store i32 3, i32* %4
%5 = getelementptr inbounds i32* %4, i64 1
store i32 4, i32* %5
%6 = getelementptr inbounds i32* %5, i64 1
store i32 5, i32* %6
...
This piece of code crashes llvm when trying to apply instcombine on
desktop. On embedded devices this could happen with a much lower limit
of recursiveness. Some instructions (getelementptr and bitcasts) make
the function recursively call itself on their uses, which is what makes
the example above consume so much stack (it becomes a recursive
depth-first tree visit with a very big depth).
The patch changes the algorithm to be semantically equivalent, but
iterative instead of recursive and the visiting order to be from a
depth-first visit to a breadth-first visit (visit all the instructions
of the current level before the ones of the next one).
Now if a lot of memory is required a heap allocation is done instead of
the the stack allocation, avoiding the possible crash.

This one is tricky for two reasons. We again have a couple of passes

Also, InstCombine contains headers that need DEBUG_TYPE, so now those

Summary:
Previously the code didn't check if the before and after types for the
store were pointers to different address spaces. This resulted in
instcombine using a bitcast to convert between pointers to different
address spaces, causing an assertion due to the invalid cast.
It is not be appropriate to use addrspacecast this case because it is
not guaranteed to be a no-op cast. Instead bail out and do not do the
transformation.

This requires a number of steps.
1) Move value_use_iterator into the Value class as an implementation
detail
2) Change it to actually be a *Use* iterator rather than a *User*
iterator.
3) Add an adaptor which is a User iterator that always looks through the
Use to the User.
4) Wrap these in Value::use_iterator and Value::user_iterator typedefs.
5) Add the range adaptors as Value::uses() and Value::users().
6) Update *all* of the callers to correctly distinguish between whether
they wanted a use_iterator (and to explicitly dig out the User when
needed), or a user_iterator which makes the Use itself totally
opaque.
Because #6 requires churning essentially everything that walked the
Use-Def chains, I went ahead and added all of the range adaptors and
switched them to range-based loops where appropriate. Also because the
renaming requires at least churning every line of code, it didn't make
any sense to split these up into multiple commits -- all of which would
touch all of the same lies of code.
The result is still not quite optimal. The Value::use_iterator is a nice
regular iterator, but Value::user_iterator is an iterator over User*s
rather than over the User objects themselves. As a consequence, it fits
a bit awkwardly into the range-based world and it has the weird
extra-dereferencing 'operator->' that so many of our iterators have.
I think this could be fixed by providing something which transforms
a range of T&s into a range of T*s, but that *can* be separated into
another patch, and it isn't yet 100% clear whether this is the right

However, this change gets us most of the benefit and cleans up
a substantial amount of code around Use and User. =]

I am really sorry for the noise, but the current state where some parts of the
code use TD (from the old name: TargetData) and other parts use DL makes it
hard to write a patch that changes where those variables come from and how
they are passed along.

Summary:
I searched Transforms/ and Analysis/ for 'ByVal' and updated those call
sites to check for inalloca if appropriate.
I added tests for any change that would allow an optimization to fire on
inalloca.

other in memory.
The motivation was to get rid of truncate and shift right instructions that get
in the way of paired load or floating point load.
E.g.,
Consider the following example:
struct Complex {
float real;
float imm;
};
When accessing a complex, llvm was generating a 64-bits load and the imm field
was obtained by a trunc(lshr) sequence, resulting in poor code generation, at
least for x86.
The idea is to declare that two load instructions is the canonical form for
loading two arithmetic type, which are next to each other in memory.
Two scalar loads at a constant offset from each other are pretty
easy to detect for the sorts of passes that like to mess with loads.
