* Implement PPC counter loops as a late IR-level passHal Finkel2013-05-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old PPCCTRLoops pass, like the Hexagon pass version from which it was derived, could only handle some simple loops in canonical form. We cannot directly adapt the new Hexagon hardware loops pass, however, because the Hexagon pass contains a fundamental assumption that non-constant-trip-count loops will contain a guard, and this is not always true (the result being that incorrect negative counts can be generated). With this commit, we replace the pass with a late IR-level pass which makes use of SE to calculate the backedge-taken counts and safely generate the loop-count expressions (including any necessary max() parts). This IR level pass inserts custom intrinsics that are lowered into the desired decrement-and-branch instructions. The most fragile part of this new implementation is that interfering uses of the counter register must be detected on the IR level (and, on PPC, this also includes any indirect branches in addition to function calls). Also, to make all of this work, we need a variant of the mtctr instruction that is marked as having side effects. Without this, machine-code level CSE, DCE, etc. illegally transform the resulting code. Hopefully, this can be improved in the future. This new pass is smaller than the original (and much smaller than the new Hexagon hardware loops pass), and can handle many additional cases correctly. In addition, the preheader-creation code has been copied from LoopSimplify, and after we decide on where it belongs, this code will be refactored so that it can be explicitly shared (making this implementation even smaller). The new test-case files ctrloop-{le,lt,ne}.ll have been adapted from tests for the new Hexagon pass. There are a few classes of loops that this pass does not transform (noted by FIXMEs in the files), but these deficiencies can be addressed within the SE infrastructure (thus helping many other passes as well). llvm-svn: 181927
* TBAA: remove !tbaa from testing cases if not used.Manman Ren2013-04-301-10/+6
| | | | | | | This will make it easier to turn on struct-path aware TBAA since the metadata format will change. llvm-svn: 180796
* Improve ext/trunc patterns on PPC64.Hal Finkel2012-06-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The PPC64 backend had patterns for i32 <-> i64 extensions and truncations that would leave self-moves in the final assembly. Replacing those patterns with ones based on the SUBREG builtins yields better-looking code. Thanks to Jakob and Owen for their suggestions in this matter. llvm-svn: 158283
* Enable PPC CTR loop formation by default.Hal Finkel2012-06-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Jakob's help, this now causes no new test suite failures! Over the entire test suite, this gives an average 1% speedup. The largest speedups are: SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/pi - 108% SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/lpbench - 54% MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/unix-smail/unix-smail - 50% SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/ary3 - 32% SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/matrix - 30% The largest slowdowns are: MultiSource/Benchmarks/mediabench/gsm/toast/toast - -30% MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/bison/mybison - -25% MultiSource/Benchmarks/BitBench/uuencode/uuencode - -22% MultiSource/Applications/d/make_dparser - -14% SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/ary - -13% In light of these slowdowns, additional profiling work is obviously needed! llvm-svn: 158223
* Disable the PPC CTR-Loops pass by default.Hal Finkel2012-06-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The pass itself works well, but the something in the Machine* infrastructure does not understand terminators which define registers. Without the ability to use the block-placement pass, etc. this causes performance regressions (and so is turned off by default). Turning off the analysis turns off the problems with the Machine* infrastructure. llvm-svn: 158206
* Add the PPCCTRLoops pass: a PPC machine-code-level optimization pass to form ↵Hal Finkel2012-06-081-0/+78
CTR-based loop branching code. This pass is derived from the Hexagon HardwareLoops pass. The only significant enhancement over the Hexagon pass is that PPCCTRLoops will also attempt to delete the replaced add and compare operations if they are no longer otherwise used. Also, invalid preheader DebugLoc is not used. llvm-svn: 158204
