This patch canonicalizes getelementptr instructions with constant
indices to use the `i8` source element type. This makes it easier for
optimizations to recognize that two GEPs are identical, because they
don't need to see past many different ways to express the same offset.
This is a first step towards
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699.
This is limited to constant GEPs only for now, as they have a clear
canonical form, while we're not yet sure how exactly to deal with
variable indices.
The test llvm/test/Transforms/PhaseOrdering/switch_with_geps.ll gives
two representative examples of the kind of optimization improvement we
expect from this change. In the first test SimplifyCFG can now realize
that all switch branches are actually the same. In the second test it
can convert it into simple arithmetic. These are representative of
common optimization failures we see in Rust.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69841.
This adds support for using dominating conditions in computeKnownBits()
when called from InstCombine. The implementation uses a
DomConditionCache, which stores which branches may provide information
that is relevant for a given value.
DomConditionCache is similar to AssumptionCache, but does not try to do
any kind of automatic tracking. Relevant branches have to be explicitly
registered and invalidated values explicitly removed. The necessary
tracking is done inside InstCombine.
The reason why this doesn't just do exactly the same thing as
AssumptionCache is that a lot more transforms touch branches and branch
conditions than assumptions. AssumptionCache is an immutable analysis
and mostly gets away with this because only a handful of places have to
register additional assumptions (mostly as a result of cloning). This is
very much not the case for branches.
This change regresses compile-time by about ~0.2%. It also improves
stage2-O0-g builds by about ~0.2%, which indicates that this change results
in additional optimizations inside clang itself.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/74242.
Due to an improvement to name preservation, a lot of InstCombine
tests now show spurious diffs when regenerated.
Rather than regenerating individual files when they get touched,
mass-regenerate all UTC-based InstCombine tests. I have then reset
a number of files showing suspicious diffs where the UTC output
has clearly been manually adjusted. I apologize if I missed
anything in the mass of changes.
Should cover most of the tests for GVN, GVNHoist, GVNSink, GlobalOpt,
GlobalSplit, InstCombine, Reassociate, SROA and TailCallElim that
had not been updated earlier.
When pushing an operation across a phi node, we should avoid doing
so across a loop backedge. This is generally non-profitable, because
it does not reduce the number of times the operation is executed,
and could lead to an infinite combine loop.
The code was already guarding against this, but using an
insufficiently strong condition, which did not cover the case where
the operation was originally outside the loop (in which case the
transform moves the operation from outside the loop into the loop,
which is particularly undesirable).

The 1st try ( afa192cfb6049a15c55 ) was reverted because it could
cause an infinite loop with constant expressions.
A test for that and an extra condition to enable the transform
are added now. I also added code comments to better describe
the transform and the existing, related transform.
Original commit message:
https://alive2.llvm.org/ce/z/hRy3rE
As shown in D123408, we can produce this pattern when moving
casts around, and we already have a related fold for a binop
with a constant operand.
This is a bug noted in the recent D72733 and seen
in the similar transform just above the changed source code.
I added tests with illegal types and zexts to show the bug -
we could transform legal phi ops to illegal, etc. I did not add
tests with trunc because we won't see any diffs on those patterns.
That is because InstCombiner::SliceUpIllegalIntegerPHI() appears to
do those transforms independently of datalayout. It can also create
more casts than are present in existing code.
There are some existing regression tests that do not include a
datalayout that would be altered by this fix. I assumed that the
lack of a datalayout in those regression files is an oversight, so
I added the minimal layout (make i32 legal) necessary to preserve
behavior on those tests.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

For some specific cases with bitcast A->B->A with intervening PHI nodes InstCombiner::optimizeBitCastFromPhi transformation creates extra PHI nodes, which are actually a copy of already created PHI or in another words, they are redundant. These extra PHI nodes could lead to extra move instructions generated after DeSSA transformation. This happens when several conditions are met
- SROA kicks in and creates new alloca;
- there is a simple assignment L = R, which falls under 'canonicalize loads' done by combineLoadToOperationType (this transformation is by default). Exactly this transformation is the reason of bitcasts generated;
- the alloca is then used in A->B->A + PHI chain;
- there is a loop unrolling.
As a result optimizeBitCastFromPhi creates as many of PHI nodes for each new SROA alloca as loop unrolling factor is. These new extra PHI nodes are redundant actually except of one and should not be created. Moreover the idea of optimizeBitCastFromPhi is to get rid of the cast (when possible) but that doesn't happen in these conditions.
The proposed fix is to do the cast replacement for the whole calculated/accumulated PHI closure not for one cast only, which is an argument to the optimizeBitCastFromPhi. These will help to accomplish several things: 1) avoid extra PHI nodes generated as all casts which may trigger optimizeBitCastFromPhi transformation will be replaced, 3) bitcasts will be replaced, and 3) create more opportunities to remove dead code, which appears after the replacement.
A new test case shows that it's possible to get rid of all bitcasts completely and get quite good code reduction.
