* [llvm-mca] PR39261: Rename FetchStage to EntryStage.Andrea Di Biagio2018-11-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes PR39261. FetchStage is a misnomer. It causes confusion with the frontend fetch stage, which we don't currently simulate. I decided to rename it into EntryStage mainly because this is meant to be a "source" stage for all pipelines. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D54268 llvm-svn: 346419

* [llvm-mca] Lower to mca::Instructon before the pipeline is run.Andrea Di Biagio2018-10-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change, the lowering of instructions from llvm::MCInst to mca::Instruction was done as part of the first stage of the pipeline (i.e. the FetchStage). In particular, FetchStage was responsible for picking the next instruction from the source sequence, and lower it to an mca::Instruction with the help of an object of class InstrBuilder. The dependency on InstrBuilder was problematic for a number of reasons. Class InstrBuilder only knows how to lower from llvm::MCInst to mca::Instruction. That means, it is hard to support a different scenario where instructions in input are not instances of class llvm::MCInst. Even if we managed to specialize InstrBuilder, and generalize most of its internal logic, the dependency on InstrBuilder in FetchStage would have caused more troubles (other than complicating the pipeline logic). With this patch, the lowering step is done before the pipeline is run. The pipeline is no longer responsible for lowering from MCInst to mca::Instruction. As a consequence of this, the FetchStage no longer needs to interact with an InstrBuilder. The mca::SourceMgr class now simply wraps a reference to a sequence of mca::Instruction objects. This simplifies the logic of FetchStage, and increases the usability of it. As a result, on a debug build, we see a 7-9% speedup; on a release build, the speedup is around 3-4%. llvm-svn: 345500

* [llvm-mca] Introduce the llvm-mca library and organize the directory ↵Matt Davis2018-08-271-0/+65
accordingly. NFC. Summary: This patch introduces llvm-mca as a library. The driver (llvm-mca.cpp), views, and stats, are not part of the library. Those are separate components that are not required for the functioning of llvm-mca. The directory has been organized as follows: All library source files now reside in: - `lib/HardwareUnits/` - All subclasses of HardwareUnit (these represent the simulated hardware components of a backend). (LSUnit does not inherit from HardwareUnit, but Scheduler does which uses LSUnit). - `lib/Stages/` - All subclasses of the pipeline stages. - `lib/` - This is the root of the library and contains library code that does not fit into the Stages or HardwareUnit subdirs. All library header files now reside in the `include` directory and mimic the same layout as the `lib` directory mentioned above. In the (near) future we would like to move the library (include and lib) contents from tools and into the core of llvm somewhere. That change would allow various analysis and optimization passes to make use of MCA functionality for things like cost modeling. I left all of the non-library code just where it has always been, in the root of the llvm-mca directory. The include directives for the non-library source file have been updated to refer to the llvm-mca library headers. I updated the llvm-mca/CMakeLists.txt file to include the library headers, but I made the non-library code explicitly reference the library's 'include' directory. Once we eventually (hopefully) migrate the MCA library components into llvm the include directives used by the non-library source files will be updated to point to the proper location in llvm.
