* Revert r336830: [FileCheck] Don't permit overlapping CHECK-DAGJoel E. Denny2018-07-111-26/+0

* [FileCheck] Don't permit overlapping CHECK-DAGJoel E. Denny2018-07-111-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That is, make CHECK-DAG skip matches that overlap the matches of any preceding consecutive CHECK-DAG directives. This change makes CHECK-DAG more consistent with other directives, and there is evidence it makes CHECK-DAG more intuitive and less error-prone. See the RFC discussion starting at: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123010.html Moreover, this behavior enables CHECK-DAG groups for unordered, non-unique strings or patterns. For example, it is useful for verifying output or logs from a parallel program, such as the OpenMP runtime. This patch also implements the command-line option -allow-deprecated-dag-overlap, which reverts CHECK-DAG to the old overlapping behavior. This option should not be used in new tests. It is meant only for the existing tests that are broken by this change and that need time to update. See the following bugzilla issue for tracking of such tests: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37532 Patches to add -allow-deprecated-dag-overlap to those tests will follow immediately.

* [TableGen] Add a general-purpose JSON backend.Simon Tatham2018-07-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The aim of this backend is to output everything TableGen knows about the record set, similarly to the default -print-records backend. But where -print-records produces output in TableGen's input syntax (convenient for humans to read), this backend produces it as structured JSON data, which is convenient for loading into standard scripting languages such as Python, in order to extract information from the data set in an automated way. The output data contains a JSON representation of the variable definitions in output 'def' records, and a few pieces of metadata such as which of those definitions are tagged with the 'field' prefix and which defs are derived from which classes. It doesn't dump out absolutely every piece of knowledge it _could_ produce, such as type information and complicated arithmetic operator nodes in abstract superclasses; the main aim is to allow consumers of this JSON dump to essentially act as new backends, and backends don't generally need to depend on that kind of data. The new backend is implemented as an EmitJSON() function similar to all of llvm-tblgen's other EmitFoo functions, except that it lives in lib/TableGen instead of utils/TableGen on the basis that I'm expecting to add it to clang-tblgen too in a future patch. To test it, I've written a Python script that loads the JSON output and tests properties of it based on comments in the .td source - more or less like FileCheck, except that the CHECK: lines have Python expressions after them instead of textual pattern matches.

* [FileCheck] Add CHECK-EMPTY directive for checking for blank linesJames Henderson2018-06-261-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to this change, there was no clean way of getting FileCheck to check that a line is completely empty. The expected way of using "CHECK: {{^$}}" does not work because the '^' matches the end of the previous match (this behaviour may be desirable in certain instances). For the same reason, "CHECK-NEXT: {{^$}}" will fail when the previous match was at the end of the line, as the pattern will match there. Using the recommended [[:space:]] to match an explicit new line could also match a space, and thus is not always desired. Literal '\n' matches also do not work. A workaround was suggested in the review, but it is a little clunky. This change adds a new directive that behaves the same as CHECK-NEXT, except that it only matches against empty lines (nothing, not even whitespace, is allowed). As with CHECK-NEXT, it will fail if more than one newline occurs before the next blank line. Example usage: ; test.txt foo bar ; CHECK: foo ; CHECK-EMPTY: ; CHECK-NEXT: bar Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D28896 Reviewed by: probinson llvm-svn: 335613

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Relands r333584, reverted in 333592.) When debugging test failures with -vv (or -v in the case of the internal shell), this makes it easier to locate the RUN line that failed. For example, clang's test/Driver/linux-ld.c has 892 total RUN lines, and clang's test/Driver/arm-cortex-cpus.c has 424 RUN lines after concatenation for line continuations. When reading the generated shell script, this also makes it easier to locate the RUN line that produced each command. To support reporting RUN line numbers in the case of the internal shell, this patch extends the internal shell to support the null command, ":", except pipelines are not supported. To support reporting RUN line numbers in the case of windows cmd.exe as the external shell, this patch extends -vv to set "echo on" instead of "echo off" in bat files.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch teaches llvm-mca how to parse code comments in search for special "markers" used to select regions of code. Example: # LLVM-MCA-BEGIN My Code Region .... # LLVM-MCA-END The MCAsmLexer now delegates to an object of class MCACommentParser (i.e. an AsmCommentConsumer) the parsing of code comments to search for begin/end code region markers. A comment starting with substring "LLVM-MCA-BEGIN" marks the beginning of a new region of code. A comment starting with substring "LLVM-MCA-END" marks the end of the last region. This implementation doesn't allow regions to overlap. Each region can have a optional description; internally, each region is identified by a range of source code locations (SMLoc). MCInst objects are added to a region R only if the source location for the MCInst is in the range of locations specified by R. By default, the tool allocates an implicit "Default" code region which contains every source location. See new tests llvm-mca-marker-*.s for a few examples. A new Backend object is created for every region. So, the analysis is conducted on every parsed code region. The final report is the union of the reports generated for every code region. Note that empty regions are skipped. Special "[#] Code Region - ..." strings are used in the report to mark the portion which is specific to a code region only. For example, see llvm-mca-markers-5.s.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pressure distribution for instructions (PR36874) The goal of this patch is to address most of PR36874. To fully fix PR36874 we need to split the "InstructionInfo" view from the "SummaryView". That would make easy to check the latency and rthroughput as well. The patch reuses all the logic from ResourcePressureView to print out the "instruction tables". We have an entry for every instruction in the input sequence. Each entry reports the theoretical resource pressure distribution. Resource pressure is uniformly distributed across all the processor resource units of a group. At the moment, the backend pipeline is not configurable, so the only way to fix this is by creating a different driver that simply sends instruction events to the resource pressure view. That means, we don't use the Backend interface. Instead, it is simpler to just have a different code-path for when flag -instruction-tables is specified. Once Clement addresses bug 36663, then we can port the "instruction tables" logic into a stage of our configurable pipeline. Updated the BtVer2 test cases (thanks Simon for the help). Now we pass flag -instruction-tables to each modified test. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D44839 llvm-svn: 328487

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | llvm-mca is an LLVM based performance analysis tool that can be used to statically measure the performance of code, and to help triage potential problems with target scheduling models. llvm-mca uses information which is already available in LLVM (e.g. scheduling models) to statically measure the performance of machine code in a specific cpu. Performance is measured in terms of throughput as well as processor resource consumption. The tool currently works for processors with an out-of-order backend, for which there is a scheduling model available in LLVM. The main goal of this tool is not just to predict the performance of the code when run on the target, but also help with diagnosing potential performance issues. Given an assembly code sequence, llvm-mca estimates the IPC (instructions per cycle), as well as hardware resources pressure. The analysis and reporting style were mostly inspired by the IACA tool from Intel.
