7e8ff837e6 PR1860 - We can't save a list of ExtractElement instructions to CSE because some of these instructions
may be removed and optimized in future iterations. Instead we save a list of basic blocks that we need to CSE.

b40f14eb89 LoopVectorizer: Truncate i64 trip counts of i32 phis if necessary
In signed arithmetic we could end up with an i64 trip count for an i32 phi.
Because it is signed arithmetic we know that this is only defined if the i32
does not wrap. It is therefore safe to truncate the i64 trip count to a i32
value.

Fixes PR18049.

d0d8d6462a Refactor some code in SampleProfile.cpp
I'm adding new functionality in the sample profiler. This will
require more data to be kept around for each function, so I moved
the structure SampleProfile that we keep for each function into
a separate class.

There are no functional changes in this patch. It simply provides
a new home where to place all the new data that I need to propagate
weights through edges.

There are some other name and minor edits throughout.

dff57f19a1 PR17925 bugfix.
Short description.

This issue is about case of treating pointers as integers.
We treat pointers as different if they references different address space.
At the same time, we treat pointers equal to integers (with machine address
width). It was a point of false-positive. Consider next case on 32bit machine:

void foo0(i32 addrespace(1)* %p)
void foo1(i32 addrespace(2)* %p)
void foo2(i32 %p)

foo0 != foo1, while
foo1 == foo2 and foo0 == foo2.

As you can see it breaks transitivity. That means that result depends on order
of how functions are presented in module. Next order causes merging of foo0
and foo1: foo2, foo0, foo1
First foo0 will be merged with foo2, foo0 will be erased. Second foo1 will be
merged with foo2.
Depending on order, things could be merged we don't expect to.

The fix:
Forbid to treat any pointer as integer, except for those, who belong to address space 0.

54fec07ec0 [PM] Split the CallGraph out from the ModulePass which creates the
CallGraph.

This makes the CallGraph a totally generic analysis object that is the
container for the graph data structure and the primary interface for
querying and manipulating it. The pass logic is separated into its own
class. For compatibility reasons, the pass provides wrapper methods for
most of the methods on CallGraph -- they all just forward.

This will allow the new pass manager infrastructure to provide its own
analysis pass that constructs the same CallGraph object and makes it
available. The idea is that in the new pass manager, the analysis pass's
'run' method returns a concrete analysis 'result'. Here, that result is
a 'CallGraph'. The 'run' method will typically do only minimal work,
deferring much of the work into the implementation of the result object
in order to be lazy about computing things, but when (like DomTree)
there is *some* up-front computation, the analysis does it prior to
handing the result back to the querying pass.

I know some of this is fairly ugly. I'm happy to change it around if
folks can suggest a cleaner interim state, but there is going to be some
amount of unavoidable ugliness during the transition period. The good
thing is that this is very limited and will naturally go away when the
old pass infrastructure goes away. It won't hang around to bother us
later.

Next up is the initial new-PM-style call graph analysis. =]

695de7692c llvm-cov: Split entry blocks in GCNOProfiling.cpp.
gcov expects every function to contain an entry block that
unconditionally branches into the next block. clang does not implement
basic blocks in this manner, so gcov did not output correct branch info
if the entry block branched to multiple blocks.

This change splits every function's entry block into an empty block and
a block with the rest of the instructions. The instrumentation code will
take care of the rest.

avoid accessing a invalid iterator.

original message:

Convert linkonce* to weak* instead of strong.

Also refactor the logic into a helper function. This is an important improve
on mingw where the linker complains about mixed weak and strong symbols.
Converting to weak ensures that the symbol is not dropped, but keeps in a
comdat, making the linker happy.

Instead of permanently outputting "MVLL" as the file checksum, clang
will create gcno and gcda checksums by hashing the destination block

The problem is that we might invalidate a later slice by vectorizing a former

The test case will only fail when running with libgmalloc.

ed1951e79f Fix an issue where SROA computed different results based on the relative
order of slices of the alloca which have exactly the same size and other
properties. This was found by a perniciously unstable sort
implementation used to flush out buggy uses of the algorithm.

The fundamental idea is that findCommonType should return the best
common type it can find across all of the slices in the range. There
were two bugs here previously:

1) We would accept an integer type smaller than a byte-width multiple,
   and if there were different bit-width integer types, we would accept
   the first one. This caused an actual failure in the testcase updated
   here when the sort order changed.
2) If we found a bad combination of types or a non-load, non-store use
   before an integer typed load or store we would bail, but if we found
   the integere typed load or store, we would use it. The correct
   behavior is to always use an integer typed operation which covers the
   partition if one exists.

While a clever debugging sort algorithm found problem #1 in our existing
test cases, I have no useful test case ideas for #2. I spotted in by
inspection when looking at this code.

07a3c481c6 LoopVectorizer: Extend the induction variable to a larger type
In some case the loop exit count computation can overflow. Extend the type to
prevent most of those cases.

The problem is loops like:
int main ()
{
  int a = 1;
  char b = 0;
  lbl:
    a &= 4;
    b--;
    if (b) goto lbl;
  return a;
}

The backedge count is 255. The induction variable type is i8. If we add one to
255 to get the exit count we overflow to zero.

To work around this issue we extend the type of the induction variable to i32 in
the case of i8 and i16.

The primary motivation is to improve block placement (the cold attribute
affects the static branch prediction heuristics).

bebe48dbfe Add a loop rerolling pass
This adds a loop rerolling pass: the opposite of (partial) loop unrolling. The
transformation aims to take loops like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 3200; i += 5) {
  a[i]     += alpha * b[i];
  a[i + 1] += alpha * b[i + 1];
  a[i + 2] += alpha * b[i + 2];
  a[i + 3] += alpha * b[i + 3];
  a[i + 4] += alpha * b[i + 4];
}

and turn them into this:

for (int i = 0; i < 3200; ++i) {
  a[i] += alpha * b[i];
}

and loops like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 500; ++i) {
  x[3*i] = foo(0);
  x[3*i+1] = foo(0);
  x[3*i+2] = foo(0);
}

and turn them into this:

for (int i = 0; i < 1500; ++i) {
  x[i] = foo(0);
}

There are two motivations for this transformation:

  1. Code-size reduction (especially relevant, obviously, when compiling for
code size).

  2. Providing greater choice to the loop vectorizer (and generic unroller) to
choose the unrolling factor (and a better ability to vectorize). The loop
vectorizer can take vector lengths and register pressure into account when
choosing an unrolling factor, for example, and a pre-unrolled loop limits that
choice. This is especially problematic if the manual unrolling was optimized
for a machine different from the current target.

The current implementation is limited to single basic-block loops only. The
rerolling recognition should work regardless of how the loop iterations are
intermixed within the loop body (subject to dependency and side-effect
constraints), but the significant restriction is that the order of the
instructions in each iteration must be identical. This seems sufficient to
capture all current use cases.

This pass is not currently enabled by default at any optimization level.

64fa501b10 Apply the InstCombine fptrunc sqrt optimization to llvm.sqrt
InstCombine, in visitFPTrunc, applies the following optimization to sqrt calls:

  (fptrunc (sqrt (fpext x))) -> (sqrtf x)

but does not apply the same optimization to llvm.sqrt. This is a problem
because, to enable vectorization, Clang generates llvm.sqrt instead of sqrt in
fast-math mode, and because this optimization is being applied to sqrt and not
applied to llvm.sqrt, sometimes the fast-math code is slower.

This change makes InstCombine apply this optimization to llvm.sqrt as well.

This fixes the specific problem in PR17758, although the same underlying issue
(optimizations applied to libcalls are not applied to intrinsics) exists for
other optimizations in SimplifyLibCalls.

4634338655 LoopVectorizer: Use abi alignment for accesses with no alignment
When we vectorize a scalar access with no alignment specified, we have to set
the target's abi alignment of the scalar access on the vectorized access.
Using the same alignment of zero would be wrong because most targets will have a
bigger abi alignment for vector types.

c160efc28b ArgumentPromotion: correctly transfer TBAA tags and alignments.
We used to use std::map<IndicesVector, LoadInst*> for OriginalLoads, and when we
try to promote two arguments, they will both write to OriginalLoads causing
created loads for the two arguments to have the same original load. And the same
tbaa tag and alignment will be put to the created loads for the two arguments.

The fix is to use std::map<std::pair<Argument*, IndicesVector>, LoadInst*>
for OriginalLoads, so each Argument will write to different parts of the map.

This reverts commit 194701. Apple's bootstrapped LTO builds have been failing,
and this change (along with compiler-rt 194702-194704) is the only thing on
the blamelist.  I will either reappy these changes or help debug the problem,
depending on whether this fixes the buildbots.

34432aeb6d [msan] Fast path optimization for wrap-indirect-calls feature of MemorySanitizer.
Indirect call wrapping helps MSanDR (dynamic instrumentation companion tool
for MSan) to catch all cases where execution leaves a compiler-instrumented
module by allowing the tool to rewrite targets of indirect calls.

This change is an optimization that skips wrapping for calls when target is
inside the current module. This relies on the linker providing symbols at the
begin and end of the module code (or code + data, does not really matter).
Gold linker provides such symbols by default. GNU (BFD) linker needs a link
flag: -Wl,--defsym=__executable_start=0.

563b29f8db SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup.
This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated
by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are
incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile.

The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external
profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata,
which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block
frequencies, edge weights and other related data.

External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler
is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation
of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file.
A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which
essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been
executed during the run.

The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation.
On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to
determine what kind of profile it contains.  This file is assumed to
contain profile information for the whole application. The profile
data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of
the corresponding profiler.

To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file
formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk
representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly
be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to
support. To do this, every profiler must implement the
SampleProfile::loadNative() function.

The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by
newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit.
Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function.

Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each
function in the current translation unit. This function needs to
translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will
later be able to use.

This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've
implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is
fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative
line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count
representing how many samples were collected at that line during
execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter
tool.

Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I
am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send
the other parts of the implementation for review.

This patch implements:

- The SampleProfileLoader pass.
- The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface.
- A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler
  generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that
  matches the profiles.
- A text loader class to assist the implementation of
  SampleProfile::loadText().
- Basic unit tests for the pass.

Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch
weights based on instruction samples.

This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It
does a fairly simplistic conversion:

Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of
each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each
target basic block.

Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be
misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the
incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that
only one of them is the most heavily taken branch.

I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches.
