We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

This fixes bugzilla 26810
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26810
This is intended to prevent sequences like:
movl %ebp, 8(%esp) # 4-byte Spill
movl %ecx, %ebp
movl %ebx, %ecx
movl %edi, %ebx
movl %edx, %edi
cltd
idivl %esi
movl %edi, %edx
movl %ebx, %edi
movl %ecx, %ebx
movl %ebp, %ecx
movl 16(%esp), %ebp # 4 - byte Reload
Such sequences are created in 2 scenarios:
Scenario #1:
vreg0 is evicted from physreg0 by vreg1
Evictee vreg0 is intended for region splitting with split candidate physreg0 (the reg vreg0 was evicted from)
Region splitting creates a local interval because of interference with the evictor vreg1 (normally region spliiting creates 2 interval, the "by reg" and "by stack" intervals. Local interval created when interference occurs.)
one of the split intervals ends up evicting vreg2 from physreg1
Evictee vreg2 is intended for region splitting with split candidate physreg1
one of the split intervals ends up evicting vreg3 from physreg2 etc.. until someone spills
Scenario #2
vreg0 is evicted from physreg0 by vreg1
vreg2 is evicted from physreg2 by vreg3 etc
Evictee vreg0 is intended for region splitting with split candidate physreg1
Region splitting creates a local interval because of interference with the evictor vreg1
one of the split intervals ends up evicting back original evictor vreg1 from physreg0 (the reg vreg0 was evicted from)
Another evictee vreg2 is intended for region splitting with split candidate physreg1
one of the split intervals ends up evicting vreg3 from physreg2 etc.. until someone spills
As compile time was a concern, I've added a flag to control weather we do cost calculations for local intervals we expect to be created (it's on by default for X86 target, off for the rest).

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).

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.

Based on discussions with Lang Hames and Jakob Stoklund Olesen at the hacker's lab, and in the light of upcoming work on the PBQP register allocator, it was though that CalcSpillWeights does not need to be a pass. This change will enable to customize / tune the spill weight computation depending on the allocator.
Update the documentation style while there.
No functionnal change.

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).

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.

This function doesn't have anything to do with spill weights, and MRI
already has functions for manipulating the register class of a virtual
register.
llvm-svn: 137123
This has two effects: 1. We never inflate to a larger register class than what
the sub-target can handle. 2. Completely unconstrained virtual registers get the
largest possible register class.

Simplify the spill weight calculation a bit by bypassing
getApproximateInstructionCount() and using LiveInterval::getSize() directly.
This changes the computed spill weights, but only by a constant factor in each
function. It should not affect how spill weights compare against each other, and
so it shouldn't affect code generation.

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

When splitting a live range, the new registers have fewer uses and the
permissible register class may be less constrained. Recompute the register class
constraint from the uses of new registers created for a split. This may let them
be allocated from a larger set, possibly avoiding a spill.
llvm-svn: 110703
register at a time. This turns out to be slightly faster than iterating over
instructions, but more importantly, it allows us to compute spill weights for
new registers created after the spill weight pass has run.
Also compute the allocation hint at the same time as the spill weight. This
allows us to use the spill weight as a cost metric for copies, and choose the
most profitable hint if there is more than one possibility.
The new hints provide a very small (< 0.1%) but universal code size improvement.
