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.

If a dead instruction we may not only have a last-use in the main live
range but also in a subregister range if subregisters are tracked. We
need to partially rebuild live ranges in both cases.
The testcase only broke when subregister liveness was enabled. I
commited it in the current form because there is currently no flag to
enable/disable subregister liveness.
This fixes PR23720.

When new virtual registers are created during splitting/spilling, defer
creation of the live interval until we need to use the live interval.
Along with the recent commits to notify LiveRangeEdit when new virtual
registers are created, this makes it possible for functions like
TargetInstrInfo::loadRegFromStackSlot() and
TargetInstrInfo::storeRegToStackSlot() to create multiple virtual
registers as part of the process of generating loads/stores for
different register classes, and then have the live intervals for those
new registers computed when they are needed.
llvm-svn: 188437
Add a delegate class to MachineRegisterInfo with a single virtual
function, MRI_NoteNewVirtualRegister(). Update LiveRangeEdit to inherit
from this delegate class and override the definition of the callback
with an implementation that tracks the newly created virtual registers.
llvm-svn: 188435
Track new virtual registers by register number, rather than by the live
interval created for them. This is the first step in separating the
creation of new virtual registers and new live intervals. Eventually
live intervals will be created and populated on demand after the virtual
registers have been created and used in instructions.
llvm-svn: 188434
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).
