Replace the ill-defined MinLatency and ILPWindow properties with
with straightforward buffer sizes:
MCSchedMode::MicroOpBufferSize
MCProcResourceDesc::BufferSize
These can be used to more precisely model instruction execution if desired.
Disabled some misched tests temporarily. They'll be reenabled in a few commits.
llvm-svn: 184032
The new instruction scheduling models provide information about the
number of cycles consumed on each processor resource. This makes it
possible to estimate ILP more accurately than simply counting
instructions / issue width.
The functions getResourceDepth() and getResourceLength() now identify
the limiting processor resource, and return a cycle count based on that.
This gives more precise resource information, particularly in traces
that use one resource a lot more than others.

In very rare cases caused by irreducible control flow, the dominating
block can have the same trace head without actually being part of the
trace.
As long as such a dominator still has valid instruction depths, it is OK
to use it for computing instruction depths.
Rename the function to avoid lying, and add a check that instruction
depths are computed for the dominator.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

Not all instructions define a virtual register in their first operand.
Specifically, INLINEASM has a different format.

When the CFG contains a loop with multiple entry blocks, the traces
computed by MachineTraceMetrics don't always have the same nice
properties. Loop back-edges are normally excluded from traces, but
MachineLoopInfo doesn't recognize loops with multiple entry blocks, so
those back-edges may be included.
Avoid asserting when that happens by adding an isEarlierInSameTrace()
function that accurately determines if a dominating block is part of the
same trace AND is above the currrent block in the trace.
llvm-svn: 165434
Trace::getResourceLength() computes the number of cycles required to
execute the trace when ignoring data dependencies. The number can be
compared to the critical path to estimate the trace ILP.
Trace::getPHIDepth() computes the data dependency depth of a PHI in a
trace successor that isn't necessarily part of the trace.
llvm-svn: 161711
When a trace ends with a back-edge, include PHIs in the loop header in
the height computations. This makes the critical path through a loop
more accurate by including the latencies of the last instructions in the
loop.
llvm-svn: 161688
We filter out MachineLoop back-edges during the trace-building PO
traversals, but it is possible to have CFG cycles that aren't natural
loops, and MachineLoopInfo doesn't include such cycles.
Use a standard visited set to detect such CFG cycles, and completely
ignore them when picking traces.

Compare the critical paths of the two traces through an if-conversion
candidate. If the difference is larger than the branch brediction
penalty, reject the if-conversion. If would never pay.
llvm-svn: 161433
Whenever both instruction depths and instruction heights are known in a
block, it is possible to compute the length of the critical path as
max(depth+height) over the instructions in the block.
The stored live-in lists make it possible to accurately compute the
length of a critical path that bypasses the current (small) block.
llvm-svn: 161197
The height on an instruction is the minimum number of cycles from the
instruction is issued to the end of the trace. Heights are computed for
all instructions in and below the trace center block.
The method for computing heights is different from the depth
computation. As we visit instructions in the trace bottom-up, heights of
used instructions are pushed upwards. This way, we avoid scanning long
use lists, looking for uses in the current trace.
At each basic block boundary, a list of live-in registers and their
minimum heights is saved in the trace block info. These live-in lists
are used when restarting depth computations on a trace that
converges with an already computed trace. They will also be used to
accurately compute the critical path length.
llvm-svn: 161138
Assuming infinite issue width, compute the earliest each instruction in
the trace can issue, when considering the latency of data dependencies.
The issue cycle is record as a 'depth' from the beginning of the trace.
This is half the computation required to find the length of the critical
path through the trace. Heights are next.
llvm-svn: 161074
This lets traces include the final iteration of a nested loop above the
center block, and the first iteration of a nested loop below the center
block.
We still don't allow traces to contain backedges, and traces are
truncated where they would leave a loop, as seen from the center block.
llvm-svn: 161003
When computing a trace, all the candidates for pred/succ must have been
visited. Filter out back-edges first, though. The PO traversal ignores
them.
Thanks to Andy for spotting this in review.

This is a cleaned up version of the isFree() function in
MachineTraceMetrics.cpp.
Transient instructions are very unlikely to produce any code in the
final output. Either because they get eliminated by RegisterCoalescing,
or because they are pseudo-instructions like labels and debug values.
llvm-svn: 160977
This is still a work in progress.
Out-of-order CPUs usually execute instructions from multiple basic
blocks simultaneously, so it is necessary to look at longer traces when
estimating the performance effects of code transformations.
The MachineTraceMetrics analysis will pick a typical trace through a
given basic block and provide performance metrics for the trace. Metrics
will include:
- Instruction count through the trace.
- Issue count per functional unit.
- Critical path length, and per-instruction 'slack'.
These metrics can be used to determine the performance limiting factor
when executing the trace, and how it will be affected by a code
transformation.
Initially, this will be used by the early if-conversion pass.
