The previous position of llvm.protected.field.ptr lowering for loads and stores was problematic as it not only inhibited optimizations such as DSE (as stores to a llvm.protected.field.ptr were not considered to must-alias stores to the non-protected.field pointer) but also required changes to other optimization passes to avoid transformations that would reduce PFP coverage. Address this by moving the load/store part of the lowering to InstCombine, where it will run earlier than the PFP-breaking and AA-relying transformations. The deactivation symbol, null comparison and EmuPAC parts of the lowering remain in PreISelLowering. Now that the transformation inhibitions are no longer needed, remove them (i.e. partially revert #151649, and revert #182976). This change resulted in a 2.4% reduction in Fleetbench .text size and the following improvements to PFP performance overhead for BM_PROTO_Arena on various microarchitectures: before after Apple M2 Ultra 3.5% 3.3% Google Axion C4A 3.3% 2.9% Google Axion N4A 2.7% 2.2% Reviewers: fmayer, nikic, vitalybuka Reviewed By: fmayer Pull Request: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/186548
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
