* [MCA][LSUnit] Track loads and stores until retirement.Andrea Di Biagio2019-10-081-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch, loads and stores were only tracked by their corresponding queues in the LSUnit from dispatch until execute stage. In practice we should be more conservative and assume that memory opcodes leave their queues at retirement stage. Basically, loads should leave the load queue only when they have completed and delivered their data. We conservatively assume that a load is completed when it is retired. Stores should be tracked by the store queue from dispatch until retirement. In practice, stores can only leave the store queue if their data can be written to the data cache. This is mostly a mechanical change. With this patch, the retire stage notifies the LSUnit when a memory instruction is retired. That would triggers the release of LDQ/STQ entries. The only visible change is in memory tests for the bdver2 model. That is because bdver2 is the only model that defines the load/store queue size. This patch partially addresses PR39830.

* [Tblgen][MCA] Add the ability to mark groups as LoadQueue and StoreQueue. NFCIAndrea Di Biagio2019-08-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch, users were not allowed to optionally mark processor resource groups as load/store queues. That is because tablegen class MemoryQueue was originally declared as expecting a ProcResource template argument (instead of a more generic ProcResourceKind). That was an oversight, since the original intention from D54957 was to let user mark any processor resource as either load/store queue. This patch adds the ability to use processor resource groups in MemoryQueue definitions. This is not a user visible change. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D66810 llvm-svn: 370091

| | | | | | | | Now that we've moved to C++14, we no longer need the llvm::make_unique implementation from STLExtras.h. This patch is a mechanical replacement of (hopefully) all the llvm::make_unique instances across the monorepo. llvm-svn: 369013

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | override the mask of used buffered resources in class mca::Instruction. NFCI This patch teaches the RCU how to peek 'next' RCUTokens. A new method has been added to the RetireControlUnit class with the goal of minimizing the complexity of follow-up patches that will enable macro-fusion support in mca. This patch also adds method Instruction::getNumMicroOpcodes() to simplify common interactions with the instruction descriptor (a pattern quite common in some pipeline stages). Added the ability to override the default set of consumed scheduler resources (this -again- is to simplify future patches that add support for macro-op fusion). No functional change intended. llvm-svn: 369010

* [MCA] Refactor class LSUnit. NFCIAndrea Di Biagio2019-05-292-182/+146
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This should be the last bit of refactoring in preparation for a patch that would finally fix PR37494. This patch introduces the concept of memory dependency groups (class MemoryGroup) and "Load/Store Unit token" (LSUToken) to track the status of a memory operation. A MemoryGroup is a node of a memory dependency graph. It is used internally to classify memory operations based on the memory operations they depend on. Let I and J be two memory operations, we say that I and J equivalent (for the purpose of mapping instructions to memory dependency groups) if the set of memory operations they depend depend on is identical. MemoryGroups are identified by so-called LSUToken (a unique group identifier assigned by the LSUnit to every group). When an instruction I is dispatched to the LSUnit, the LSUnit maps I to a group, and then returns a LSUToken. LSUTokens are used by class Scheduler to track memory dependencies. This patch simplifies the LSUnit interface and moves most of the implementation details to its base class (LSUnitBase). There is no user visible change to the output. llvm-svn: 361950

* [MCA] Refactor the logic that computes the critical memory dependency info. NFCIAndrea Di Biagio2019-05-261-11/+61
| | | | | | | | CriticalRegDep has been renamed CriticalDependency, and it is now used by class Instruction to store information about the critical register dependency and the critical memory dependency. No functional change intendend. llvm-svn: 361737
* [MCA] Introduce class LSUnitBase and let LSUnit derive from it.Andrea Di Biagio2019-05-232-72/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Class LSUnitBase provides a abstract interface for all the concrete LS units in llvm-mca. Methods exposed by the public abstract LSUnitBase interface are: - Status isAvailable(const InstRef&); - void dispatch(const InstRef &); - const InstRef &isReady(const InstRef &); LSUnitBase standardises the API, but not the data structures internally used by LS units. This allows for more flexibility. Previously, only method `isReady()` was declared virtual by class LSUnit. Also, derived classes had to inherit all the internal data members of LSUnit. No functional change intended. llvm-svn: 361496

* [MCA] Highlight kernel bottlenecks in the summary view.Andrea Di Biagio2019-03-041-3/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new flag named -bottleneck-analysis to print out information about throughput bottlenecks. MCA knows how to identify and classify dynamic dispatch stalls. However, it doesn't know how to analyze and highlight kernel bottlenecks. The goal of this patch is to teach MCA how to correlate increases in backend pressure to backend stalls (and therefore, the loss of throughput). From a Scheduler point of view, backend pressure is a function of the scheduler buffer usage (i.e. how the number of uOps in the scheduler buffers changes over time). Backend pressure increases (or decreases) when there is a mismatch between the number of opcodes dispatched, and the number of opcodes issued in the same cycle. Since buffer resources are limited, continuous increases in backend pressure would eventually leads to dispatch stalls. So, there is a strong correlation between dispatch stalls, and how backpressure changed over time. This patch teaches how to identify situations where backend pressure increases due to: - unavailable pipeline resources. - data dependencies. Data dependencies may delay execution of instructions and therefore increase the time that uOps have to spend in the scheduler buffers. That often translates to an increase in backend pressure which may eventually lead to a bottleneck. Contention on pipeline resources may also delay execution of instructions, and lead to a temporary increase in backend pressure. Internally, the Scheduler classifies instructions based on whether register / memory operands are available or not. An instruction is marked as "ready to execute" only if data dependencies are fully resolved. Every cycle, the Scheduler attempts to execute all instructions that are ready to execute. If an instruction cannot execute because of unavailable pipeline resources, then the Scheduler internally updates a BusyResourceUnits mask with the ID of each unavailable resource. ExecuteStage is responsible for tracking changes in backend pressure. If backend pressure increases during a cycle because of contention on pipeline resources, then ExecuteStage sends a "backend pressure" event to the listeners. That event would contain information about instructions delayed by resource pressure, as well as the BusyResourceUnits mask. Note that ExecuteStage also knows how to identify situations where backpressure increased because of delays introduced by data dependencies. The SummaryView observes "backend pressure" events and prints out a "bottleneck report". Example of bottleneck report: ``` Cycles with backend pressure increase [ 99.89% ] Throughput Bottlenecks: Resource Pressure [ 0.00% ] Data Dependencies: [ 99.89% ] - Register Dependencies [ 0.00% ] - Memory Dependencies [ 99.89% ] ``` A bottleneck report is printed out only if increases in backend pressure eventually caused backend stalls. About the time complexity: Time complexity is linear in the number of instructions in the Scheduler::PendingSet. The average slowdown tends to be in the range of ~5-6%. For memory intensive kernels, the slowdown can be significant if flag -noalias=false is specified. In the worst case scenario I have observed a slowdown of ~30% when flag -noalias=false was specified. We can definitely recover part of that slowdown if we optimize class LSUnit (by doing extra bookkeeping to speedup queries). For now, this new analysis is disabled by default, and it can be enabled via flag -bottleneck-analysis. Users of MCA as a library can enable the generation of pressure events through the constructor of ExecuteStage.

* [MCA] Always check if scheduler resources are unavailable when reporting ↵Andrea Di Biagio2019-02-261-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | dispatch stalls. Dispatch stall cycles may be associated to multiple dispatch stall events. Before this patch, each stall cycle was associated with a single stall event. This patch also improves a couple of code comments, and adds a helper method to query the Scheduler for dispatch stalls. llvm-svn: 354877
* [MCA][Scheduler] Collect resource pressure and memory dependency bottlenecks.Andrea Di Biagio2019-02-201-24/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every cycle, the Scheduler checks if instructions in the ReadySet can be issued to the underlying pipelines. If an instruction cannot be issued because one or more pipeline resources are unavailable, then field Instruction::CriticalResourceMask is updated with the resource identifier of the unavailable resources. If an instruction cannot be promoted from the PendingSet to the ReadySet because of a memory dependency, then field Instruction::CriticalMemDep is updated with the identifier of the dependending memory instruction. Bottleneck information is collected after every cycle for instructions that are waiting to execute. The idea is to help identify causes of bottlenecks; this information can be used in future to implement a bottleneck analysis. llvm-svn: 354490
* [MCA][ResourceManager] Add a table that maps processor resource indices to ↵Andrea Di Biagio2019-02-201-21/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | processor resource identifiers. This patch adds a lookup table to speed up resource queries in the ResourceManager. This patch also moves helper function 'getResourceStateIndex()' from ResourceManager.cpp to Support.h, so that we can reuse that logic in the SummaryView (and potentially other views in llvm-mca). No functional change intended. llvm-svn: 354470
* [MCA] Correctly update register definitions in the PRF after move elimination.Andrea Di Biagio2019-02-181-14/+9
| | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug where register writes performed by optimizable register moves were sometimes wrongly treated like partial register updates. Before this patch, llvm-mca wrongly predicted a 1.50 IPC for test reg-move-elimination-6.s (added by this patch). With this patch, llvm-mca correctly updates the register defintions in the PRF, and the IPC for that test is now correctly reported as 2. llvm-svn: 354271

* [MCA][Scheduler] Use latency information to further classify busy instructions.Andrea Di Biagio2019-02-131-6/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new instruction stage named 'IS_PENDING'. An instruction transitions from the IS_DISPATCHED to the IS_PENDING stage if input registers are not available, but their latency is known. This patch also adds a new set of instructions named 'PendingSet' to class Scheduler. The idea is that the PendingSet will only contain instructions that have reached the IS_PENDING stage. By construction, an instruction in the PendingSet is only dependent on instructions that have already reached the execution stage. The plan is to use this knowledge to identify bottlenecks caused by data dependencies (see PR37494). Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D58066 llvm-svn: 353937

* [MCA] Speedup ResourceManager queries. NFCIAndrea Di Biagio2019-02-061-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When a resource unit R is released, the ResourceManager notifies groups that contain R. Before this patch, the logic in method ResourceManager::release() implemented a potentially slow iterative search of dependent groups on the entire set of processor resources. This patch replaces that logic with a simpler (and often faster) lookup on array `Resource2Groups`. This patch gives an average speedup of ~3-4% (observed on a release build when testing for target btver2). No functional change intended. llvm-svn: 353301

| | | | | | | | | | | to RegisterFile. NFC DispatchStage should always delegate to an object of class RegisterFile the task of updating data dependencies. ReadState and WriteState objects should not be modified directly by DispatchStage. This patch also renames stage IS_AVAILABLE to IS_DISPATCHED. llvm-svn: 353170
* Update the file headers across all of the LLVM projects in the monorepoChandler Carruth2019-01-196-24/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to reflect the new license. We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach. Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and repository. llvm-svn: 351636
* [MCA] Fix wrong definition of ResourceUnitMask in DefaultResourceStrategy.Andrea Di Biagio2019-01-101-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Field ResourceUnitMask was incorrectly defined as a 'const unsigned' mask. It should have been a 64 bit quantity instead. That means, ResourceUnitMask was always implicitly truncated to a 32 bit quantity. This issue has been found by inspection. Surprisingly, that bug was latent, and it never negatively affected any existing upstream targets. This patch fixes the wrong definition of ResourceUnitMask, and adds a bunch of extra debug prints to help debugging potential issues related to invalid processor resource masks. llvm-svn: 350820

* [MCA] Improved handling of in-order issue/dispatch resources.Andrea Di Biagio2019-01-042-20/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Added field 'MustIssueImmediately' to the instruction descriptor of instructions that only consume in-order issue/dispatch processor resources. This speeds up queries from the hardware Scheduler, and gives an average ~5% speedup on a release build. No functional change intended. llvm-svn: 350397
* [MCA] Store extra information about processor resources in the ResourceManager.Andrea Di Biagio2019-01-041-14/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Method ResourceManager::use() is responsible for updating the internal state of used processor resources, as well as notifying resource groups that contain used resources. Before this patch, method 'use()' didn't know how to quickly obtain the set of groups that contain a particular resource unit. It had to discover groups by perform a potentially slow search (done by iterating over the set of processor resource descriptors). With this patch, the relationship between resource units and groups is stored in the ResourceManager. That means, method 'use()' no longer has to search for groups. This gives an average speedup of ~4-5% on a release build. This patch also adds extra code comments in ResourceManager.h to better describe the resource mask layout, and how resouce indices are computed from resource masks. llvm-svn: 350387

* [MCA] Minor refactoring of method DefaultResourceStrategy::select. NFCIAndrea Di Biagio2019-01-021-18/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Common code used by the default resource strategy to select pipeline resources has been moved to an helper function. The new selection logic has been slightly rewritten to get rid of a redundant zero check on the `ReadyMask` value. Before this patch, method select internally called function `PowerOf2Floor` to compute the next ready pipeline resource. However, `PowerOf2Floor` forces an implicit (redundant) zero check on the input value. By construction, `ReadyMask` can never be zero. This patch replaces the call to `PowerOf2Floor` with an equivalent block of code which avoids the redundant zero check. This gives a minor 3-3.5% speedup on a release build. No functional change intended. llvm-svn: 350218
