Previously, irreducible backedges were ignored. With this commit,
irreducible SCCs are discovered on the fly, and modelled as loops with
multiple headers.
This approximation specifies the headers of irreducible sub-SCCs as its
entry blocks and all nodes that are targets of a backedge within it
(excluding backedges within true sub-loops). Block frequency
calculations act as if we insert a new block that intercepts all the
edges to the headers. All backedges and entries to the irreducible SCC
point to this imaginary block. This imaginary block has an edge (with
even probability) to each header block.
The result is now reasonable enough that I've added a number of
testcases for irreducible control flow. I've outlined in
`BlockFrequencyInfoImpl.h` ways to improve the approximation.

The branch that skips irreducible backedges was only active when
propagating mass at the top-level. In particular, when propagating mass
through a loop recognized by `LoopInfo` with irreducible control flow
inside, irreducible backedges would not be skipped.
Not sure where that idea came from, but the result was that mass was
lost until after loop exit. Added a testcase that covers this case.

I've done a careful audit, added some asserts, and fixed a couple of

LazyCallGraph. This is the start of the whole point of this different
abstraction, but it is just the initial bits. Here is a run-down of
what's going on here. I'm planning to incorporate some (or all) of this
into comments going forward, hopefully with better editing and wording.
=]
The crux of the problem with the traditional way of building SCCs is
that they are ephemeral. The new pass manager however really needs the
ability to associate analysis passes and results of analysis passes with
SCCs in order to expose these analysis passes to the SCC passes. Making
this work is kind-of the whole point of the new pass manager. =]
So, when we're building SCCs for the call graph, we actually want to
build persistent nodes that stick around and can be reasoned about
later. We'd also like the ability to walk the SCC graph in more complex
ways than just the traditional postorder traversal of the current CGSCC
walk. That means that in addition to being persistent, the SCCs need to
be connected into a useful graph structure.
However, we still want the SCCs to be formed lazily where possible.
These constraints are quite hard to satisfy with the SCC iterator. Also,
using that would bypass our ability to actually add data to the nodes of
the call graph to facilite implementing the Tarjan walk. So I've
re-implemented things in a more direct and embedded way. This
immediately makes it easy to get the persistence and connectivity
correct, and it also allows leveraging the existing nodes to simplify
the algorithm. I've worked somewhat to make this implementation more
closely follow the traditional paper's nomenclature and strategy,
although it is still a bit obtuse because it isn't recursive, using
an explicit stack and a tail call instead, and it is interruptable,
resuming each time we need another SCC.
The other tricky bit here, and what actually took almost all the time
and trials and errors I spent building this, is exactly *what* graph
structure to build for the SCCs. The naive thing to build is the call
graph in its newly acyclic form. I wrote about 4 versions of this which
did precisely this. Inevitably, when I experimented with them across
various use cases, they became incredibly awkward. It was all
implementable, but it felt like a complete wrong fit. Square peg, round
hole. There were two overriding aspects that pushed me in a different
direction:
1) We want to discover the SCC graph in a postorder fashion. That means
the root node will be the *last* node we find. Using the call-SCC DAG
as the graph structure of the SCCs results in an orphaned graph until
we discover a root.
2) We will eventually want to walk the SCC graph in parallel, exploring
distinct sub-graphs independently, and synchronizing at merge points.
This again is not helped by the call-SCC DAG structure.
The structure which, quite surprisingly, ended up being completely
natural to use is the *inverse* of the call-SCC DAG. We add the leaf
SCCs to the graph as "roots", and have edges to the caller SCCs. Once
I switched to building this structure, everything just fell into place
elegantly.
Aside from general cleanups (there are FIXMEs and too few comments
overall) that are still needed, the other missing piece of this is
support for iterating across levels of the SCC graph. These will become
useful for implementing #2, but they aren't an immediate priority.
Once SCCs are in good shape, I'll be working on adding mutation support
for incremental updates and adding the pass manager that this analysis
enables.

Rewrite the shared implementation of BlockFrequencyInfo and
MachineBlockFrequencyInfo entirely.
The old implementation had a fundamental flaw: precision losses from
nested loops (or very wide branches) compounded past loop exits (and
convergence points).
The @nested_loops testcase at the end of
test/Analysis/BlockFrequencyAnalysis/basic.ll is motivating. This
function has three nested loops, with branch weights in the loop headers
of 1:4000 (exit:continue). The old analysis gives non-sensical results:
Printing analysis 'Block Frequency Analysis' for function 'nested_loops':
---- Block Freqs ----
entry = 1.0
for.cond1.preheader = 1.00103
for.cond4.preheader = 5.5222
for.body6 = 18095.19995
for.inc8 = 4.52264
for.inc11 = 0.00109
for.end13 = 0.0
The new analysis gives correct results:
Printing analysis 'Block Frequency Analysis' for function 'nested_loops':
block-frequency-info: nested_loops
- entry: float = 1.0, int = 8
- for.cond1.preheader: float = 4001.0, int = 32007
- for.cond4.preheader: float = 16008001.0, int = 128064007
- for.body6: float = 64048012001.0, int = 512384096007
- for.inc8: float = 16008001.0, int = 128064007
- for.inc11: float = 4001.0, int = 32007
- for.end13: float = 1.0, int = 8
Most importantly, the frequency leaving each loop matches the frequency
entering it.
The new algorithm leverages BlockMass and PositiveFloat to maintain
precision, separates "probability mass distribution" from "loop
scaling", and uses dithering to eliminate probability mass loss. I have
unit tests for these types out of tree, but it was decided in the review
to make the classes private to BlockFrequencyInfoImpl, and try to shrink
them (or remove them entirely) in follow-up commits.
The new algorithm should generally have a complexity advantage over the
old. The previous algorithm was quadratic in the worst case. The new
algorithm is still worst-case quadratic in the presence of irreducible
control flow, but it's linear without it.
The key difference between the old algorithm and the new is that control
flow within a loop is evaluated separately from control flow outside,
limiting propagation of precision problems and allowing loop scale to be
calculated independently of mass distribution. Loops are visited
bottom-up, their loop scales are calculated, and they are replaced by
pseudo-nodes. Mass is then distributed through the function, which is
now a DAG. Finally, loops are revisited top-down to multiply through
the loop scales and the masses distributed to pseudo nodes.
There are some remaining flaws.
- Irreducible control flow isn't modelled correctly. LoopInfo and
MachineLoopInfo ignore irreducible edges, so this algorithm will
fail to scale accordingly. There's a note in the class
documentation about how to get closer. See also the comments in
test/Analysis/BlockFrequencyInfo/irreducible.ll.
- Loop scale is limited to 4096 per loop (2^12) to avoid exhausting
the 64-bit integer precision used downstream.
- The "bias" calculation proposed on llvmdev is *not* incorporated
here. This will be added in a follow-up commit, once comments from
this review have been handled.

Previously, BranchProbabilityInfo::calcLoopBranchHeuristics would determine the weights of basic blocks inside loops even when it didn't have enough information to estimate the branch probabilities correctly. This patch fixes the function to exit early if it doesn't see any exit edges or back edges and let the later heuristics determine the weights.

This provides more realistic costs for the insert/extractelement instructions
(which are load/store pairs), accounts for the cheap unaligned Altivec load
sequence, and for unaligned VSX load/stores.
Bad news:
MultiSource/Applications/sgefa/sgefa - 35% slowdown (this will require more investigation)
SingleSource/Benchmarks/McGill/queens - 20% slowdown (we no longer vectorize this, but it was a constant store that was scalarized)

Unfortunately, estimating the costs of the stack-based scalarization sequences
is hard, and adjusting these costs is like a game of whac-a-mole :( I'll
revisit this again after we have better codegen for vector extloads and
truncstores and unaligned load/stores.

When a vector type legalizes to a larger vector type, and the target does not
support the associated extending load (or truncating store), then legalization
will scalarize the load (or store) resulting in an associated scalarization
cost. BasicTTI::getMemoryOpCost needs to account for this.
Between this, and r205487, PowerPC on the P7 with VSX enabled shows:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/PAQ8p/paq8p: 43% speedup

For an cast (extension, etc.), the currently logic predicts a low cost if the
associated operation (keyed on the destination type) is legal (or promoted).
This is not true when the number of values required to legalize the type is
changing. For example, <8 x i16> being sign extended by <8 x i32> is not
generically cheap on PPC with VSX, even though sign extension to v4i32 is
legal, because two output v4i32 values are required compared to the single
v8i16 input value, and without custom logic in the target, this conversion will
scalarize.

The second part is introducing the constant MaxLookupSearchDepth to make sure
that DecomposeGEPExpression and GetUnderlyingObject use the same search depth.

If we have a loop of the form
for (unsigned n = 0; n != (k & -32); n += 32) {}
then we know that n is always divisible by 32 and the loop must
terminate. Even if we have a condition where the loop counter will
overflow it'll always hold this invariant.

On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.
MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.
For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

'OK_NonUniformConstValue' to identify operands which are constants but
not constant splats.
The cost model now allows returning 'OK_NonUniformConstValue'
for non splat operands that are instances of ConstantVector or
ConstantDataVector.
With this change, targets are now able to compute different costs
for instructions with non-uniform constant operands.
For example, On X86 the cost of a vector shift may vary depending on whether
the second operand is a uniform or non-uniform constant.
This patch applies the following changes:
- The cost model computation now takes into account non-uniform constants;
- The cost of vector shift instructions has been improved in
X86TargetTransformInfo analysis pass;
- BBVectorize, SLPVectorizer and LoopVectorize now know how to distinguish
between non-uniform and uniform constant operands.

The most important part of this is probably adding any cost at all for
operations like zext <8 x i8> to <8 x i32>. Before they were being
recorded as extremely costly (24, I believe) which made LLVM fall back
on a 4-wide vectorisation of a loop.
It also rebalances the values for sext, zext and trunc. Lacking any
other sane metric that might work across CPU microarchitectures I went
for instructions. This seems to be in reasonable accord with the rest
of the table (sitofp, ...) though no doubt at least one value is
sub-optimal for some bizarre reason.
Finally, separate AVX and AVX2 values are provided where appropriate.
The CodeGen is quite different in many cases.

The primary motivation for this pass is to separate the call graph
analysis used by the new pass manager's CGSCC pass management from the
existing call graph analysis pass. That analysis pass is (somewhat
unfortunately) over-constrained by the existing CallGraphSCCPassManager
requirements. Those requirements make it *really* hard to cleanly layer
the needed functionality for the new pass manager on top of the existing
analysis.
However, there are also a bunch of things that the pass manager would
specifically benefit from doing differently from the existing call graph
analysis, and this new implementation tries to address several of them:
- Be lazy about scanning function definitions. The existing pass eagerly
scans the entire module to build the initial graph. This new pass is
significantly more lazy, and I plan to push this even further to
maximize locality during CGSCC walks.
- Don't use a single synthetic node to partition functions with an
indirect call from functions whose address is taken. This node creates
a huge choke-point which would preclude good parallelization across
the fanout of the SCC graph when we got to the point of looking at
such changes to LLVM.
- Use a memory dense and lightweight representation of the call graph
rather than value handles and tracking call instructions. This will
require explicit update calls instead of some updates working
transparently, but should end up being significantly more efficient.
The explicit update calls ended up being needed in many cases for the
existing call graph so we don't really lose anything.
- Doesn't explicitly model SCCs and thus doesn't provide an "identity"
for an SCC which is stable across updates. This is essential for the
new pass manager to work correctly.
- Only form the graph necessary for traversing all of the functions in
an SCC friendly order. This is a much simpler graph structure and
should be more memory dense. It does limit the ways in which it is
appropriate to use this analysis. I wish I had a better name than
"call graph". I've commented extensively this aspect.
This is still very much a WIP, in fact it is really just the initial
bits. But it is about the fourth version of the initial bits that I've
implemented with each of the others running into really frustrating
problms. This looks like it will actually work and I'd like to split the
actual complexity across commits for the sake of my reviewers. =] The
rest of the implementation along with lots of wiring will follow
somewhat more rapidly now that there is a good path forward.
Naturally, this doesn't impact any of the existing optimizer. This code
is specific to the new pass manager.
A bunch of thanks are deserved for the various folks that have helped
with the design of this, especially Nick Lewycky who actually sat with
me to go through the fundamentals of the final version here.

Unfortunately, this in turn led to some lower quality SCEVs due to some different paths through expression simplification, so add getUDivExactExpr and use it. This fixes all instances of the problems that I found, but we can make that function smarter as necessary.

When there are cycles in the value graph we have to be careful interpreting
"Value*" identity as "value" equivalence. We interpret the value of a phi node
as the value of its operands.
When we check for value equivalence now we make sure that the "Value*" dominates
all cycles (phis).
%0 = phi [%noaliasval, %addr2]
%l = load %ptr
%addr1 = gep @a, 0, %l
%addr2 = gep @a, 0, (%l + 1)
store %ptr ...
Before this patch we would return NoAlias for (%0, %addr1) which is wrong
because the value of the load is from different iterations of the loop.
