Delete the Kill and Def markers in BlockInfo. They are no longer
necessary when BlockInfo describes a continuous live range.
This only affects the relatively rare kind of basic block where a live
range looks like this:
|---x o---|
Now live range splitting can pretend that it is looking at two blocks:
|---x
o---|
This allows the code to be simplified a bit.
llvm-svn: 132245
It is important that this function returns the same number of live blocks as
countLiveBlocks(CurLI) because live range splitting uses the number of live
blocks to ensure it is making progress.
This is in preparation of supporting duplicate UseBlock entries for basic blocks
that have a virtual register live-in and live-out, but not live-though.
llvm-svn: 132244
This doesn't change functionality (much), but it allows for a more fine-grained
eviction policy. The current policy only compares spill weights, and that is not
always the best thing to do. Spill weights are designed to serve linear scan,
and they don't consider live range splitting.
Add a mechanism so canEvict() can request that a live range be evicted and
split/spilled. This is to avoid infinite eviction loops.
llvm-svn: 132101
This can't be just an assertion, users can always write impossible inline
assembly. Such an assembly statement should be included in the error message.
llvm-svn: 131024
After a virtual register is split, update any debug user variables that resided
in the old register. This ensures that the LiveDebugVariables are still correct
after register allocation.
This may create DBG_VALUE instructions that place a user variable in a register
in parts of the function and in a stack slot in other parts. DwarfDebug
currently doesn't support that.
llvm-svn: 130998
Register coalescing can sometimes create live ranges that end in the middle of a
basic block without any killing instruction. When SplitKit detects this, it will
repair the live range by shrinking it to its uses.
Live range splitting also needs to know about this. When the range shrinks so
much that it becomes allocatable, live range splitting fails because it can't
find a good split point. It is paranoid about making progress, so an allocatable
range is considered an error.
The coalescer should really not be creating these bad live ranges. They appear
when coalescing dead copies.
llvm-svn: 130787
These intervals are allocatable immediately after splitting, but they may be
evicted because of later splitting. This is rare, but when it happens they
should be split again.
The remainder intervals that cannot be allocated after splitting still move
directly to spilling.
SplitEditor::finish can optionally provide a mapping from new live intervals
back to the original interval indexes returned by openIntv().
Each original interval index can map to multiple new intervals after connected
components have been separated. Dead code elimination may also add existing
intervals to the list.
The reverse mapping allows the SplitEditor client to treat the new intervals
differently depending on the split region they came from.
llvm-svn: 129925
On the x86-64 and thumb2 targets, some registers are more expensive to encode
than others in the same register class.
Add a CostPerUse field to the TableGen register description, and make it
available from TRI->getCostPerUse. This represents the cost of a REX prefix or a
32-bit instruction encoding required by choosing a high register.
Teach the greedy register allocator to prefer cheap registers for busy live
ranges (as indicated by spill weight).
llvm-svn: 129864
This merges the behavior of splitSingleBlocks into splitAroundRegion, so the
RS_Region and RS_Block register stages can be coalesced. That means the leftover
intervals after region splitting go directly to spilling instead of a second
pass of per-block splitting.
llvm-svn: 129379
It is common for large live ranges to have few basic blocks with register uses
and many live-through blocks without any uses. This approach grows the Hopfield
network incrementally around the use blocks, completely avoiding checking
interference for some through blocks.
llvm-svn: 129188
About 90% of the relevant blocks are live-through without uses, and the only
information required about them is their number. This saves memory and enables
later optimizations that need to look at only the use-blocks.
llvm-svn: 128985
When the greedy register allocator is splitting multiple global live ranges, it
tends to look at the same interference data many times. The InterferenceCache
class caches queries for unaltered LiveIntervalUnions.
llvm-svn: 128764
When DCE clones a live range because it separates into connected components,
make sure that the clones enter the same register allocator stage as the
register they were cloned from.
For instance, clones may be split even when they where created during spilling.
Other registers created during spilling are not candidates for splitting or even
(re-)spilling.
llvm-svn: 128524
The reassignment phase was able to move interference with a higher spill weight,
but it didn't happen very often and it was fairly expensive.
The existing interference eviction picks up the slack.
llvm-svn: 128397
This simplifies the code and makes it faster too.
The interference patterns are saved for each candidate register. It will be
reused for actually executing the split. Work in progress.
llvm-svn: 127054
This effectively disables the 'turbo' functionality of the greedy register
allocator where all new live ranges created by splitting would be reconsidered
as if they were originals.
There are two reasons for doing this, 1. It guarantees that the algorithm
terminates. Early versions were prone to infinite looping in certain corner
cases. 2. It is a 2x speedup. We can skip a lot of unnecessary interference
checks that won't lead to good splitting anyway.
The problem is that region splitting only gets one shot, so it should probably
be changed to target multiple physical registers at once.
Local live range splitting is still 'turbo' enabled. It only accounts for a
small fraction of compile time, so it is probably not necessary to do anything
about that.
llvm-svn: 126781
New live ranges are assigned in long -> short order, but live ranges that have
been evicted at least once are deferred and assigned in short -> long order.
Also disable splitting and spilling for live ranges seen for the first time.
The intention is to create a realistic interference pattern from the heavy live
ranges before starting splitting and spilling around it.
llvm-svn: 126451
When a large live range is evicted, it will usually be split when it comes
around again. By deferring evicted live ranges, the splitting happens at a time
when the interference pattern is more realistic. This prevents repeated
splitting and evictions.
llvm-svn: 126282
Use interval sizes instead of spill weights to determine if it is legal to evict
interference. A smaller interval can evict interference if all interfering live
ranges are larger.
Allow multiple interferences to be evicted as along as they are all larger than
the live range being allocated.
Spill weights are still used to select the preferred eviction candidate.
llvm-svn: 126276
This is based on the observation that long live ranges are more difficult to
allocate, so there is a better chance of solving the puzzle by handling the big
pieces first. The allocator will evict and split long alive ranges when they get
in the way.
RABasic is still using spill weights for its priority queue, so the interface to
the queue has been virtualized.
llvm-svn: 126259
An original endpoint is an instruction that killed or defined the original live
range before any live ranges were split.
When splitting global live ranges, avoid creating local live ranges without any
original endpoints. We may still create global live ranges without original
endpoints, but such a range won't be split again, and live range splitting still
terminates.
llvm-svn: 126151
The rewriter works almost identically to -rewriter=trivial, except it also
eliminates any identity copies.
This makes the new register allocators independent of VirtRegRewriter.cpp which
will be going away at the same time as RegAllocLinearScan.
llvm-svn: 125967
A local live range is live in a single basic block. If such a range fails to
allocate, try to find a sub-range that would get a larger spill weight than its
interference.
llvm-svn: 125764
Registers are not allocated strictly in spill weight order when live range
splitting and spilling has created new shorter intervals with higher spill
weights.
When one of the new heavy intervals conflicts with a single lighter interval,
simply evict the old interval instead of trying to split the heavy one.
The lighter interval is a better candidate for splitting, it has a smaller use
density.
llvm-svn: 125151
If a live range is used by a terminator instruction, and that live range needs
to leave the block on the stack or in a different register, it can be necessary
to have both sides of the split live at the terminator instruction.
Example:
%vreg2 = COPY %vreg1
JMP %vreg1
Becomes after spilling %vreg2:
SPILL %vreg1
JMP %vreg1
The spill doesn't kill the register as is normally the case.
llvm-svn: 125102
If interference reaches the last split point, it is effectively live out and
should be marked as 'MustSpill'.
This can make a difference when the terminator uses a register. There is no way
that register can be reused in the outgoing CFG bundle, even if it isn't live
out.
llvm-svn: 124900
We should not be attempting a region split if it won't lead to at least one
directly allocatable interval. That could cause infinite splitting loops.
llvm-svn: 124893
When the live range is live through a block that doesn't use the register, but
that has interference, region splitting wants to split at the top and bottom of
the basic block.
llvm-svn: 124839
The greedy register allocator revealed some problems with the value mapping in
SplitKit. We would sometimes start mapping values before all defs were known,
and that could change a value from a simple 1-1 mapping to a multi-def mapping
that requires ssa update.
The new approach collects all defs and register assignments first without
filling in any live intervals. Only when finish() is called, do we compute
liveness and mapped values. At this time we know with certainty which values map
to multiple values in a split range.
This also has the advantage that we can compute live ranges based on the
remaining uses after rematerializing at split points.
The current implementation has many opportunities for compile time optimization.
llvm-svn: 124765
The value mapping gets confused about which original values have multiple new
definitions so they may need phi insertions.
This could probably be simplified by letting enterIntvBefore() take a live range
to be added following the instruction. As long as the range stays inside the
same basic block, value mapping shouldn't be a problem.
llvm-svn: 123926
interval after an instruction. The leaveIntvAfter() method only adds liveness
from the instruction's boundary index to the inserted copy.
Ideally, SplitKit should be smarter about this, perhaps by combining useIntv()
and leaveIntvAfter() into one method that guarantees continuity.
llvm-svn: 123858
Region splitting includes loop splitting as a subset, and it is more generic.
The splitting heuristics for variables that are live in more than one block are
now:
1. Try to create a region that covers multiple basic blocks.
2. Try to create a new live range for each block with multiple uses.
3. Spill.
Steps 2 and 3 are similar to what the standard spiller is doing.
llvm-svn: 123853
Analyze the live range's behavior entering and leaving basic blocks. Compute an
interference pattern for each allocation candidate, and use SpillPlacement to
find an optimal region where that register can be live.
This code is still not enabled.
llvm-svn: 123774
createMachineVerifierPass and MachineFunction::verify.
The banner is printed before the machine code dump, just like the printer pass.
llvm-svn: 122113
abstract priority queue interface in subclasses that want to override the
priority calculations.
Subclasses must provide a getPriority() implementation instead.
This approach requires less code as long as priorities are expressable as simple
floats, and it avoids the dangers of defining potentially expensive priority
comparison functions.
It also should speed up priority_queue operations since they no longer have to
chase pointers when comparing registers. This is not measurable, though.
Preferably, we shouldn't use floats to guide code generation. The use of floats
here is derived from the use of floats for spill weights. Spill weights have a
dynamic range that doesn't lend itself easily to a fixpoint implementation.
When someone invents a stable spill weight representation, it can be reused for
allocation priorities.
llvm-svn: 121294
This new register allocator is initially identical to RegAllocBasic, but it will
receive all of the tricks that RegAllocBasic won't get.
RegAllocGreedy will eventually replace linear scan.
