Local values are constants or addresses that can't be folded into
the instruction that uses them. FastISel materializes these in a
"local value" area that always dominates the current insertion
point, to try to avoid materializing these values more than once
(per block).
https://reviews.llvm.org/D43093 added code to sink these local
value instructions to their first use, which has two beneficial
effects. One, it is likely to avoid some unnecessary spills and
reloads; two, it allows us to attach the debug location of the
user to the local value instruction. The latter effect can
improve the debugging experience for debuggers with a "set next
statement" feature, such as the Visual Studio debugger and PS4
debugger, because instructions to set up constants for a given
statement will be associated with the appropriate source line.
There are also some constants (primarily addresses) that could be
produced by no-op casts or GEP instructions; the main difference
from "local value" instructions is that these are values from
separate IR instructions, and therefore could have multiple users
across multiple basic blocks. D43093 avoided sinking these, even
though they were emitted to the same "local value" area as the
other instructions. The patch comment for D43093 states:
Local values may also be used by no-op casts, which adds the
register to the RegFixups table. Without reversing the RegFixups
map direction, we don't have enough information to sink these
instructions.
This patch undoes most of D43093, and instead flushes the local
value map after(*) every IR instruction, using that instruction's
debug location. This avoids sometimes incorrect locations used
previously, and emits instructions in a more natural order.
In addition, constants materialized due to PHI instructions are
not assigned a debug location immediately; instead, when the
local value map is flushed, if the first local value instruction
has no debug location, it is given the same location as the
first non-local-value-map instruction. This prevents PHIs
from introducing unattributed instructions, which would either
be implicitly attributed to the location for the preceding IR
instruction, or given line 0 if they are at the beginning of
a machine basic block. Neither of those consequences is good
for debugging.
This does mean materialized values are not re-used across IR
instruction boundaries; however, only about 5% of those values
were reused in an experimental self-build of clang.
(*) Actually, just prior to the next instruction. It seems like
it would be cleaner the other way, but I was having trouble
getting that to work.
This reapplies commits cf1c774d and dc35368c, and adds the
modification to PHI handling, which should avoid problems
with debugging under gdb.

This reverts commit cf1c774d6ace59c5adc9ab71b31e762c1be695b1.
This change caused several regressions in the gdb test suite - at least
a sample of which was due to line zero instructions making breakpoints
un-lined. I think they're worth investigating/understanding more (&
possibly addressing) before moving forward with this change.

This is causing compilation timeouts on code with long sequences of
local values and calls (i.e. foo(1); foo(2); foo(3); ...). It turns out
that code coverage instrumentation is a great way to create sequences
like this, which how our users ran into the issue in practice.
Intel has a tool that detects these kinds of non-linear compile time
issues, and Andy Kaylor reported it as PR37010.
The current sinking code scans the whole basic block once per local
value sink, which happens before emitting each call. In theory, local
values should only be introduced to be used by instructions between the
current flush point and the last flush point, so we should only need to
scan those instructions.
llvm-svn: 329822
Summary:
Local values are constants, global addresses, and stack addresses that
can't be folded into the instruction that uses them. For example, when
storing the address of a global variable into memory, we need to
materialize that address into a register.
FastISel doesn't want to materialize any given local value more than
once, so it generates all local value materialization code at
EmitStartPt, which always dominates the current insertion point. This
allows it to maintain a map of local value registers, and it knows that
the local value area will always dominate the current insertion point.
The downside is that local value instructions are always emitted without
a source location. This is done to prevent jumpy line tables, but it
means that the local value area will be considered part of the previous
statement. Consider this C code:
call1(); // line 1
++global; // line 2
++global; // line 3
call2(&global, &local); // line 4
Today we end up with assembly and line tables like this:
.loc 1 1
callq call1
leaq global(%rip), %rdi
leaq local(%rsp), %rsi
.loc 1 2
addq $1, global(%rip)
.loc 1 3
addq $1, global(%rip)
.loc 1 4
callq call2
The LEA instructions in the local value area have no source location and
are treated as being on line 1. Stepping through the code in a debugger
and correlating it with the assembly won't make much sense, because
these materializations are only required for line 4.
This is actually problematic for the VS debugger "set next statement"
feature, which effectively assumes that there are no registers live
across statement boundaries. By sinking the local value code into the
statement and fixing up the source location, we can make that feature
work. This was filed as https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35975 and
https://crbug.com/793819.
This change is obviously not enough to make this feature work reliably
in all cases, but I felt that it was worth doing anyway because it
usually generates smaller, more comprehensible -O0 code. I measured a
0.12% regression in code generation time with LLC on the sqlite3
amalgamation, so I think this is worth doing.
There are some special cases worth calling out in the commit message:
1. local values materialized for phis
2. local values used by no-op casts
3. dead local value code
Local values can be materialized for phis, and this does not show up as
a vreg use in MachineRegisterInfo. In this case, if there are no other
uses, this patch sinks the value to the first terminator, EH label, or
the end of the BB if nothing else exists.
Local values may also be used by no-op casts, which adds the register to
the RegFixups table. Without reversing the RegFixups map direction, we
don't have enough information to sink these instructions.
Lastly, if the local value register has no other uses, we can delete it.
This comes up when fastisel tries two instruction selection approaches
and the first materializes the value but fails and the second succeeds
without using the local value.

Summary:
Implements fastLowerArguments() to avoid the need to fall back on
SelectionDAG for 0-4 argument functions that don't do tricky things like
passing double in a pair of i32's.
This allows us to move all except one test to -fast-isel-abort=3. The
remaining one has function prototypes of the form 'i32 (i32, double, double)'
which requires floats to be passed in GPR's.
The previous commit had an uninitialized variable that caused the incoming
argument region to have undefined size. This has been fixed.

Summary:
Currently fast-isel-abort will only abort for regular instructions,
and just warn for function calls, terminators, function arguments.
There is already fast-isel-abort-args but nothing for calls and
terminators.
This change turns the fast-isel-abort options into an integer option,
so that multiple levels of strictness can be defined.
This will help no being surprised when the "abort" option indeed does
not abort, and enables the possibility to write test that verifies
that no intrinsics are forgotten by fast-isel.
