the IR going into it and to clean up the IR produced by the vectorizers.
Note that these are *off by default* right now while folks collect data
on whether the performance tradeoff is reasonable.
In a build of the 'opt' binary, I see about 2% compile time regression
due to this change on average. This is in my mind essentially the worst
expected case: very little of the opt binary is going to *benefit* from
these extra passes.
I've seen several benchmarks improve in performance my small amounts due
to running these passes, and there are certain (rare) cases where these
passes make a huge difference by either enabling the vectorizer at all
or by hoisting runtime checks out of the outer loop. My primary
motivation is to prevent people from seeing runtime check overhead in
benchmarks where the existing passes and optimizers would be able to
eliminate that.
I've chosen the sequence of passes based on the kinds of things that
seem likely to be relevant for the code at each stage: rotaing loops for
the vectorizer, finding correlated values, loop invariants, and
unswitching opportunities from any runtime checks, and cleaning up
commonalities exposed by the SLP vectorizer.
I'll be pinging existing threads where some of these issues have come up
and will start new threads to get folks to benchmark and collect data on
whether this is the right tradeoff or we should do something else.

A function with discardable linkage cannot be discarded if its a member
of a COMDAT group without considering all the other COMDAT members as
well. This sort of thing is already handled by GlobalOpt/GlobalDCE.

After some stellar (& inspired) help from Reid Kleckner providing a test
case for some rather unstable undefined behavior showing up as
assertions produced by r214761, I was able to fix this issue in DAE
involving the application of both varargs removal, followed by normal
argument removal.
Indeed I introduced this same bug into ArgumentPromotion (r212128) by
copying the code from DAE, and when I fixed the bug in ArgPromo
(r213805) and commented in that patch that I didn't need to address the
same issue in DAE because it was a single pass. Turns out it's two pass,
one for the varargs and one for the normal arguments, so the same fix is
needed (at least during varargs removal). So here it is.
(the observable/net effect of this bug, even when it didn't result in
assertion failure, is that debug info would describe the DAE'd function
in the abstract, but wouldn't provide high/low_pc, variable locations,
line table, etc (it would appear as though the function had been
entirely optimized away), see the original PR14016 for details of the
general problem)
I'm not recommitting the assertion just yet, as there's been another
regression of it since I last tried. It might just be a few test cases
weren't adequately updated after Adrian or Duncan's recent schema
changes.

This reverts commit r218918, effectively reapplying r218914 after fixing
an Ocaml bindings test and an Asan crash. The root cause of the latter
was a tightened-up check in `DILexicalBlock::Verify()`, so I'll file a
PR to investigate who requires the loose check (and why).

This patch addresses the first stage of PR17891 by folding constant

a `\0` character is used as a separator.

With this a DataLayoutPass can be reused for multiple modules.
Once we have doInitialization/doFinalization, it doesn't seem necessary to pass
a Module to the constructor.
Overall this change seems in line with the idea of making DataLayout a required
part of Module. With it the only way of having a DataLayout used is to add it
to the Module.

This adds a ScalarEvolution-powered transformation that updates load, store and
memory intrinsic pointer alignments based on invariant((a+q) & b == 0)
expressions. Many of the simple cases we can get with ValueTracking, but we
still need something like this for the more complicated cases (such as those
with an offset) that require some algebra. Note that gcc's
__builtin_assume_aligned's optional third argument provides exactly for this
kind of 'misalignment' offset for which this kind of logic is necessary.
The primary motivation is to fixup alignments for vector loads/stores after
vectorization (and unrolling). This pass is added to the optimization pipeline
just after the SLP vectorizer runs (which, admittedly, does not preserve SE,
although I imagine it could). Regardless, I actually don't think that the
preservation matters too much in this case: SE computes lazily, and this pass
won't issue any SE queries unless there are any assume intrinsics, so there
should be no real additional cost in the common case (SLP does preserve DT and
LoopInfo).
llvm-svn: 217344
This adds an immutable pass, AssumptionTracker, which keeps a cache of
@llvm.assume call instructions within a module. It uses callback value handles
to keep stale functions and intrinsics out of the map, and it relies on any
code that creates new @llvm.assume calls to notify it of the new instructions.
The benefit is that code needing to find @llvm.assume intrinsics can do so
directly, without scanning the function, thus allowing the cost of @llvm.assume
handling to be negligible when none are present.
The current design is intended to be lightweight. We don't keep track of
anything until we need a list of assumptions in some function. The first time
this happens, we scan the function. After that, we add/remove @llvm.assume
calls from the cache in response to registration calls and ValueHandle
callbacks.
There are no new direct test cases for this pass, but because it calls it
validation function upon module finalization, we'll pick up detectable
inconsistencies from the other tests that touch @llvm.assume calls.
This pass will be used by follow-up commits that make use of @llvm.assume.

This feeds AA through the IFI structure into the inliner so that
AddAliasScopeMetadata can use AA->getModRefBehavior to figure out which
functions only access their arguments (instead of just hard-coding some
knowledge of memory intrinsics). Most of the information is only available from
BasicAA; this is important for preserving alias scoping information for
target-specific intrinsics when doing the noalias parameter attribute to
metadata conversion.

Don't promote byval pointer arguments when when their size in bits is
not equal to their alloc size in bits. This can happen for x86_fp80,
where the size in bits is 80 but the alloca size in bits in 128.
Promoting these types can break passing unions of x86_fp80s and other
types.

Adding, removing, or changing non-pack parameters can change the ABI
classification of pack parameters. Clang and other frontends encode the
classification in the IR of the call site, but the callee side
determines it dynamically based on the number of registers consumed so
far. Changing the prototype affects the number of registers consumed
would break such code.
Dead argument elimination performs a similar task and already has a
similar check to avoid this problem.

GlobalDCE deletes global vars and updates their initializers to nullptr
while leaving underlying constants to be cleaned up later by its uses.
The clean up may never happen, fix this by forcing it every time it's
safe to destroy constants.

attribute and function argument attribute synthesizing and propagating.
As with the other uses of this attribute, the goal remains a best-effort
(no guarantees) attempt to not optimize the function or assume things
about the function when optimizing. This is particularly useful for
compiler testing, bisecting miscompiles, triaging things, etc. I was
hitting specific issues using optnone to isolate test code from a test
driver for my fuzz testing, and this is one step of fixing that.

GlobalOpt didn't know how to simulate InsertValueInst or
ExtractValueInst. Optimizing these is pretty straightforward.
N.B. This came up when looking at clang's IRGen for MS ABI member
pointers; they are represented as aggregates.

This swaps the order of the loop vectorizer and the SLP/BB vectorizers. It is disabled by default so we can do performance testing - ideally we want to change to having the loop vectorizer running first, and the SLP vectorizer using its leftovers instead of the other way around.

This is mostly a cleanup, but it changes a fairly old behavior.
Every "real" LTO user was already disabling the silly internalize pass
and creating the internalize pass itself. The difference with this
patch is for "opt -std-link-opts" and the C api.
Now to get a usable behavior out of opt one doesn't need the funny
looking command line:
opt -internalize -disable-internalize -internalize-public-api-list=foo,bar -std-link-opts

Ugh. Turns out not even transformation passes link in how to read IR.
I sincerely believe the buildbots will finally agree with my system
after this though. (I don't really understand why all of this has been
working on my system, but not on all the buildbots.)
Create a new tool called llvm-uselistorder to use for verifying use-list
order. For now, just dump everything from the (now defunct)
-verify-use-list-order pass into the tool.
This might be a better way to test use-list order anyway.

The dragonegg buildbot (and others?) started failing after
r213945/r213946 because `llvm-as` wasn't linking in the bitcode reader.
I think moving the verify functions to the same file as the verify pass
should fix the build. Adding a command-line option for maintaining
use-list order in assembly as a drive-by to prevent warnings about
unused static functions.
llvm-svn: 213947
Add a -verify-use-list-order pass, which shuffles use-list order, writes
to bitcode, reads back, and verifies that the (shuffled) order matches.
- The utility functions live in lib/IR/UseListOrder.cpp.
- Moved (and renamed) the command-line option to enable writing
use-lists, so that this pass can return early if the use-list orders
aren't being serialized.
It's not clear that this pass is the right direction long-term (perhaps
a separate tool instead?), but short-term it's a great way to test the
use-list order prototype. I've added an XFAIL-ed testcase that I'm
hoping to get working pretty quickly.
This is part of PR5680.

This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers
Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.
What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:
!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }
Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:
... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.
Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.
[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]
Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.
llvm-svn: 213864
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.
