Prior to this change, the loop vectorizer did not make use of the alias
analysis infrastructure. Instead, it performed memory dependence analysis using
ScalarEvolution-based linear dependence checks within equivalence classes
derived from the results of ValueTracking's GetUnderlyingObjects.
Unfortunately, this meant that:
1. The loop vectorizer had logic that essentially duplicated that in BasicAA
for aliasing based on identified objects.
2. The loop vectorizer could not partition the space of dependency checks
based on information only easily available from within AA (TBAA metadata is
currently the prime example).
This means, for example, regardless of whether -fno-strict-aliasing was
provided, the vectorizer would only vectorize this loop with a runtime
memory-overlap check:
void foo(int *a, float *b) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1600; ++i)
a[i] = b[i];
}
This is suboptimal because the TBAA metadata already provides the information
necessary to show that this check unnecessary. Of course, the vectorizer has a
limit on the number of such checks it will insert, so in practice, ignoring
TBAA means not vectorizing more-complicated loops that we should.
This change causes the vectorizer to use an AliasSetTracker to keep track of
the pointers in the loop. The resulting alias sets are then used to partition
the space of dependency checks, and potential runtime checks; this results in
more-efficient vectorizations.
When pointer locations are added to the AliasSetTracker, two things are done:
1. The location size is set to UnknownSize (otherwise you'd not catch
inter-iteration dependencies)
2. For instructions in blocks that would need to be predicated, TBAA is
removed (because the metadata might have a control dependency on the condition
being speculated).
For non-predicated blocks, you can leave the TBAA metadata. This is safe
because you can't have an iteration dependency on the TBAA metadata (if you
did, and you unrolled sufficiently, you'd end up with the same pointer value
used by two accesses that TBAA says should not alias, and that would yield
undefined behavior).

There are some kinds of metadata that are safe to propagate from the scalar
instructions to the vector instructions (fpmath and tbaa currently).
Regarding TBAA, one might worry about propagating it on if-converted loads and
stores, because the metadata might have had a control dependency on the
condition, and thus actually aliased with some other non-speculated memory
access when the condition was false. However, this would be caught by the
runtime overlap checks.
llvm-svn: 213452
When we have a parameter (or call site return) with a dereferenceable
attribute, it can specify the size of an array pointed to by that parameter. If
we have a value for which we can accumulate a constant offset to such a
parameter, then we can use that offset in a direct comparison with the size
specified by the dereferenceable attribute.
This enables us to handle cases like this:
int foo(int a[static 3]) {
return a[2]; /* this is always dereferenceable */
}

Merges equivalent loads on both sides of a hammock/diamond

Merges equivalent stores on both sides of a hammock/diamond

Can enable if conversion and tolerate better load misses
and store operand latencies.
llvm-svn: 213396
This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).

This reverts, "r213024 - Revert r212572 "improve BasicAA CS-CS queries", it
causes PR20303." with a fix for the bug in pr20303. As it turned out, the
relevant code was both wrong and over-conservative (because, as with the code
it replaced, it would return the overall ModRef mask even if just Ref had been
implied by the argument aliasing results). Hopefully, this correctly fixes both
problems.
Thanks to Nick Lewycky for reducing the test case for pr20303 (which I've
cleaned up a little and added in DSE's test directory). The BasicAA test has
also been updated to check for this error.
Original commit message:
BasicAA contains knowledge of certain intrinsics, such as memcpy and memset,
and uses that information to form more-accurate answers to CallSite vs. Loc
ModRef queries. Unfortunately, it did not use this information when answering
CallSite vs. CallSite queries.
Generically, when an intrinsic takes one or more pointers and the intrinsic is
marked only to read/write from its arguments, the offset/size is unknown. As a
result, the generic code that answers CallSite vs. CallSite (and CallSite vs.
Loc) queries in AA uses UnknownSize when forming Locs from an intrinsic's
arguments. While BasicAA's CallSite vs. Loc override could use more-accurate
size information for some intrinsics, it did not do the same for CallSite vs.
CallSite queries.
This change refactors the intrinsic-specific logic in BasicAA into a generic AA
query function: getArgLocation, which is overridden by BasicAA to supply the
intrinsic-specific knowledge, and used by AA's generic implementation. This
allows the intrinsic-specific knowledge to be used by both CallSite vs. Loc and
CallSite vs. CallSite queries, and simplifies the BasicAA implementation.
Currently, only one function, Mac's memset_pattern16, is handled by BasicAA
(all the rest are intrinsics). As a side-effect of this refactoring, BasicAA's
getModRefBehavior override now also returns OnlyAccessesArgumentPointees for
this function (which is an improvement).

Summary:
Converting outermost zext(a) to sext(a) causes worse code when the
computation of zext(a) could be reused. For example, after converting
... = array[zext(a)]
... = array[zext(a) + 1]
to
... = array[sext(a)]
... = array[zext(a) + 1],
the program computes sext(a), which is actually unnecessary. I added one
test in split-gep-and-gvn.ll to illustrate this scenario.
Also, with r211281 and r211084, we annotate more "nuw" tags to
computation involving CUDA intrinsics such as threadIdx.x. These
annotations help with splitting GEP a lot, rendering the benefit we get
from this reverted optimization only marginal.

This patch modifies the existing DiagnosticInfo system to create a generic base
class that is inherited to produce diagnostic-based warnings. This is used by
the loop vectorizer to trigger a warning when vectorization is forced and
fails. Several tests have been added to verify this behavior.

Determining the bounds of x/ -1 would start off with us dividing it by
INT_MIN. Suffice to say, this would not work very well.
Instead, handle it upfront by checking for -1 and mapping it to the
range: [INT_MIN + 1, INT_MAX. This means that the result of our
division can be any value other than INT_MIN.
llvm-svn: 212981
Summary:
When calculating the upper bound of X / -8589934592, we would perform
the following calculation: Floor[INT_MAX / 8589934592]
However, flooring the result would make us wrongly come to the
conclusion that 1073741824 was not in the set of possible values.
Instead, use the ceiling of the result.

isDereferenceablePointer should not give up upon encountering any bitcast. If
we're casting from a pointer to a larger type to a pointer to a small type, we
can continue by examining the bitcast's operand. This missing capability
was noted in a comment in the function.
In order for this to work, isDereferenceablePointer now takes an optional
DataLayout pointer (essentially all callers already had such a pointer
available). Most code uses isDereferenceablePointer though
isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute (which already took an optional DataLayout
pointer), and to enable the LICM test case, LICM needs to actually provide its DL
pointer to isSafeToSpeculativelyExecute (which it was not doing previously).

We've been performing the wrong operation on ARM for "atomicrmw nand" for

When INT_MIN is the numerator in a sdiv, we would not properly handle

Matching behavior with DeadArgumentElimination (and leveraging some

metadata if arguments are promoted.
This may produce interesting debug info - since the arguments may be

Inlining functions with block addresses can cause many problem and requires a
rich infrastructure to support including escape analysis. At this point the
safest approach to address these problems is by blocking inlining from
happening.
Background:
There have been reports on Ruby segmentation faults triggered by inlining
functions with block addresses like
//Ruby code snippet
vm_exec_core() {
finish_insn_seq_0 = &&INSN_LABEL_finish;
INSN_LABEL_finish:
;
}
This kind of scenario can also happen when LLVM picks a subset of blocks for
inlining, which is the case with the actual code in the Ruby environment.
LLVM suppresses inlining for such functions when there is an indirect branch.
The attached patch does so even when there is no indirect branch. Note that
user code like above would not make much sense: using the global for jumping
across function boundaries would be illegal.
Why was there a segfault:
In the snipped above the block with the label is recognized as dead So it is
eliminated. Instead of a block address the cloner stores a constant (sic!) into
the global resulting in the segfault (when the global is used in a goto).
Why had it worked in the past then:
By luck. In older versions vm_exec_core was also inlined but the label address
used was the block label address in vm_exec_core. So the global jump ended up
in the original function rather than in the caller which accidentally happened
to work.
Test case ./tools/clang/test/CodeGen/indirect-goto.c will fail as a result
of this commit.
