This option enables an experimental lowering for unordered atomics I worked
on a few years back. It never reached production quality, and hasn't been
worked on in years. So let's rip it out.
This wasn't a crazy idea, but I hit some stumbling block which prevented me
from pushing it across the finish line. From the look of 027aa27, that
change description is probably a good summary. I don't remember the
details any longer.
This is an attempt at rebooting https://reviews.llvm.org/D28990
I've included AutoUpgrade changes to modify the data layout to satisfy the compatible layout check. But this does mean alloca, loads, stores, etc in old IR will automatically get this new alignment.
This should fix PR46320.

The first attempt missed changing test files for tools

Original commit message:
This implements the main suggested change from issue #56498.
Using the shorter (non-extending) instruction with only
-Oz ("minsize") rather than -Os ("optsize") is left as a
possible follow-up.
As noted in the bug report, the zero-extending load may have
shorter latency/better throughput across a wide range of x86
micro-arches, and it avoids a potential false dependency.
The cost is an extra instruction byte.
This could cause perf ups and downs from secondary effects,
but I don't think it is possible to account for those in
advance, and that will likely also depend on exact micro-arch.
This does bring LLVM x86 codegen more in line with existing
gcc codegen, so if problems are exposed they are more likely
to occur for both compilers.

Currently we create register mappings for registers used only once in current
MBB. For registers with multiple uses, when all the uses are in the current MBB,
we can also create mappings for them similarly according to the last use.
For example
%reg101 = ...
= ... reg101
%reg103 = ADD %reg101, %reg102
We can create mapping between %reg101 and %reg103.

The motivation is that the update script has at least two deviations
(`<...>@GOT`/`<...>@PLT`/ and not hiding pointer arithmetics) from
what pretty much all the checklines were generated with,
and most of the tests are still not updated, so each time one of the
non-up-to-date tests is updated to see the effect of the code change,
there is a lot of noise. Instead of having to deal with that each
time, let's just deal with everything at once.
This has been done via:
```
cd llvm-project/llvm/test/CodeGen/X86
grep -rl "; NOTE: Assertions have been autogenerated by utils/update_llc_test_checks.py" | xargs -L1 <...>/llvm-project/llvm/utils/update_llc_test_checks.py --llc-binary <...>/llvm-project/build/bin/llc
```
Not all tests were regenerated, however.
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.

They are currently implicit because TargetMachine::shouldAssumeDSOLocal implies
dso_local.
For external data, clang -fno-pic emits the dso_local specifier for ELF and
non-MinGW COFF. Adding explicit dso_local makes these tests in align with the
clang behavior and helps implementing an option to use GOT indirection for
external data access in -fno-pic mode (to avoid copy relocations).
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 rewrites big parts of the fast register allocator. The basic
strategy of doing block-local allocation hasn't changed but I tweaked
several details:
Track register state on register units instead of physical
registers. This simplifies and speeds up handling of register aliases.
Process basic blocks in reverse order: Definitions are known to end
register livetimes when walking backwards (contrary when walking
forward then uses may or may not be a kill so we need heuristics).
Check register mask operands (calls) instead of conservatively
assuming everything is clobbered. Enhance heuristics to detect
killing uses: In case of a small number of defs/uses check if they are
all in the same basic block and if so the last one is a killing use.
Enhance heuristic for copy-coalescing through hinting: We check the
first k defs of a register for COPYs rather than relying on there just
being a single definition. When testing this on the full llvm
test-suite including SPEC externals I measured:
average 5.1% reduction in code size for X86, 4.9% reduction in code on
aarch64. (ranging between 0% and 20% depending on the test) 0.5%
faster compiletime (some analysis suggests the pass is slightly slower
than before, but we more than make up for it because later passes are
faster with the reduced instruction count)
Also adds a few testcases that were broken without this patch, in
particular bug 47278.

Looking back over gcc and icc behavior it looks like icc does
use mulx32 on 32-bit targets and mulx64 on 64-bit targets. It's
also used when dividing i32 by constant on 32-bit targets and
i64 by constant on 64-bit targets.
gcc uses it multiplies producing a 64 bit result on 32-bit targets
and 128-bit results on a 64-bit target. gcc does not appear to use
it for division by constant.
After this patch clang is closer to the icc behavior. This

Enable the new SelectionDAG representation for unordered loads and stores introduced in r371441 by default. As a reminder, the new lowering changes the representation of an unordered atomic load from an AtomicSDNode - which is essentially a black box which gets passed through without combines messing with it - to a LoadSDNode w/a atomic marker on the MMO. The later parallels the way we handle volatiles, and I've audited the code to ensure that every location which checks one checks the other.
This has been fairly heavily fuzzed, and I examined diffs in a reasonable large corpus of assembly by hand, so I'm reasonable sure this is correct for the common case. Late in the review for this, it was discovered that I hadn't correctly handled cases which could be legalized into CAS operations. This points out that there's a strong bias in the IR of the frontend I'm working with towards only legal atomics. If there are problems with this patch, the most likely area will be legalization.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D69219
This is an omission in rL371441. Loads which happened to be unordered weren't being added to the PendingLoad set, and thus weren't be ordered w/respect to side effects which followed before the end of the block.
Included test case is how I spotted this. We had an atomic load being folded into a using instruction after a fence that load was supposed to be ordered with. I'm sure it showed up a bunch of other ways as well.
Spotted via manual inspecting of assembly differences in a corpus w/and w/o the new experimental mode. Finding this with testing would have been "unpleasant".
llvm-svn: 373814
With the landing of the previous patch (in particular D66318) there are a lot fewer diffs now. I added an experimental O0 line, and updated all the tests to group experimental and non-experimental O0/O3 together.
Skimming the remaining diffs, there's only a few which are obviously incorrect. There's a large number which are questionable, so more todo.

This is the first sweep of generic code to add isAtomic bailouts where appropriate. The intention here is to have the switch from AtomicSDNode to LoadSDNode/StoreSDNode be close to NFC; that is, I'm not looking to allow additional optimizations at this time. That will come later.

Motivated by work on changing our representation of unordered atomics in SelectionDAG, but as an aside, all our lowerings for O3 are terrible. Even the ones which ignore the atomicity.
llvm-svn: 371449
This is the first patch in a large sequence. The eventual goal is to have unordered atomic loads and stores - and possibly ordered atomics as well - handled through the normal ISEL codepaths for loads and stores. Today, there handled w/instances of AtomicSDNodes. The result of which is that all transforms need to be duplicated to work for unordered atomics. The benefit of the current design is that it's harder to introduce a silent miscompile by adding an transform which forgets about atomicity. See the thread on llvm-dev titled "FYI: proposed changes to atomic load/store in SelectionDAG" for further context.
Note that this patch is NFC unless the experimental flag is set.
The basic strategy I plan on taking is:
introduce infrastructure and a flag for testing (this patch)
Audit uses of isVolatile, and apply isAtomic conservatively*
piecemeal conservative* update generic code and x86 backedge code in individual reviews w/tests for cases which didn't check volatile, but can be found with inspection
flip the flag at the end (with minimal diffs)
Work through todo list identified in (2) and (3) exposing performance ops
(*) The "conservative" bit here is aimed at minimizing the number of diffs involved in (4). Ideally, there'd be none. In practice, getting it down to something reviewable by a human is the actual goal. Note that there are (currently) no paths which produce LoadSDNode or StoreSDNode with atomic MMOs, so we don't need to worry about preserving any behaviour there.
We've taken a very similar strategy twice before with success - once at IR level, and once at the MI level (post ISEL).

The assert that caused this to be reverted should be fixed now.
Original commit message:
This patch changes our defualt legalization behavior for 16, 32, and
64 bit vectors with i8/i16/i32/i64 scalar types from promotion to
widening. For example, v8i8 will now be widened to v16i8 instead of
promoted to v8i16. This keeps the elements widths the same and pads
with undef elements. We believe this is a better legalization strategy.
But it carries some issues due to the fragmented vector ISA. For
example, i8 shifts and multiplies get widened and then later have
to be promoted/split into vXi16 vectors.
This has the potential to cause regressions so we wanted to get
it in early in the 10.0 cycle so we have plenty of time to
address them.
Next steps will be to merge tests that explicitly test the command
line option. And then we can remove the option and its associated

This behavior was added in r130928 for both FastISel and SD, and then
disabled in r131156 for FastISel.
This re-enables it for FastISel with the corresponding fix.
This is triggered only when FastISel can't lower the arguments and falls
back to SelectionDAG for it.
FastISel contains a map of "register fixups" where at the end of the
selection phase it replaces all uses of a register with another
register that FastISel sometimes pre-assigned. Code at the end of
SelectionDAGISel::runOnMachineFunction is doing the replacement at the
very end of the function, while other pieces that come in before that
look through the MachineFunction and assume everything is done. In this
case, the real issue is that the code emitting COPY instructions for the
liveins (physreg to vreg) (EmitLiveInCopies) is checking if the vreg
assigned to the physreg is used, and if it's not, it will skip the COPY.
If a register wasn't replaced with its assigned fixup yet, the copy will
be skipped and we'll end up with uses of undefined registers.
This fix moves the replacement of registers before the emission of
copies for the live-ins.
The initial motivation for this fix is to enable tail calls for
swiftself functions, which were blocked because we couldn't prove that
the swiftself argument (which is callee-save) comes from a function
argument (live-in), because there was an extra copy (vreg to vreg).
A few tests are affected by this:
* llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/swifterror.ll: we used to spill x21
(callee-save) but never reload it because it's attached to the return.
We now don't even spill it anymore.
* llvm/test/CodeGen/*/swiftself.ll: we tail-call now.
* llvm/test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/mubuf-legalize-operands.ll: I believe this
test was not really testing the right thing, but it worked because the
same registers were re-used.
* llvm/test/CodeGen/ARM/cmpxchg-O0.ll: regalloc changes
* llvm/test/CodeGen/ARM/swifterror.ll: get rid of a copy
* llvm/test/CodeGen/Mips/*: get rid of spills and copies
* llvm/test/CodeGen/SystemZ/swift-return.ll: smaller stack
* llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/atomic-unordered.ll: smaller stack
* llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/swifterror.ll: same as AArch64

INC/DEC is really a special case of a more generic issue. We should also turn leas into add reg/reg or add reg/imm regardless of the slow lea flags.
This also supports LEA64_32 which has 64 bit input registers and 32 bit output registers. So we need to convert the 64 bit inputs to their 32 bit equivalents to check if they are equal to base reg.
One thing to note, the original code preserved the kill flags by adding operands to the new instruction instead of using addReg. But I think tied operands aren't supposed to have the kill flag set. I dropped the kill flags, but I could probably try to preserve it in the add reg/reg case if we think its important. Not sure which operand its supposed to go on for the LEA64_32r instruction due to the super reg implicit uses. Though I'm also not sure those are needed since they were probably just created by an INSERT_SUBREG from a 32-bit input.

The 2nd loop calculates spill costs but reports free registers as cost
0 anyway, so there is little benefit from having a separate early

Surprisingly this is not NFC, as many register are marked regDisabled
so the first loop often picks up later registers unnecessarily instead
of the first one available in the allocation order...

The actual code change is fairly straight forward, but exercising it isn't. First, it turned out we weren't adding the appropriate flags in SelectionDAG. Second, it turned out that we've got some optimization gaps, so obvious test cases don't work.
