* [llvm-mca] Add support for instructions with a variadic number of operands.Andrea Di Biagio2018-11-251-18/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, llvm-mca conservatively assumes that a register operand from the variadic sequence is both a register read and a register write. That is because MCInstrDesc doesn't describe extra variadic operands; we don't have enough dataflow information to tell which register operands from the variadic sequence is a definition, and which is a use instead. However, if a variadic instruction is flagged 'mayStore' (but not 'mayLoad'), and it has no 'unmodeledSideEffects', then llvm-mca (very) optimistically assumes that any register operand in the variadic sequence is a register read only. Conversely, if a variadic instruction is marked as 'mayLoad' (but not 'mayStore'), and it has no 'unmodeledSideEffects', then llvm-mca optimistically assumes that any extra register operand is a register definition only. These assumptions work quite well for variadic load/store multiple instructions defined by the ARM backend. llvm-svn: 347522

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | verifyOperands method. With this change, InstrBuilder emits an error if the MCInst sequence contains an instruction with a variadic opcode, and a non-zero number of variadic operands. Currently we don't know how to correctly analyze variadic opcodes. The problem with variadic operands is that there is no information for them in the opcode descriptor (i.e. MCInstrDesc). That means, we don't know which variadic operands are defs, and which are uses. In future, we could try to conservatively assume that any extra register operands is both a register use and a register definition. This patch fixes a subtle bug in the evaluation of read/write operands for ARM VLD1 with implicit index update. Added test vld1-index-update.s llvm-svn: 347503
* [llvm-mca] Account for buffered resources when analyzing "Super" resources.Andrea Di Biagio2018-11-091-1/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was noticed when working on PR3946. By construction, a group cannot be used as a "Super" resource. That constraint is enforced by method `SubtargetEmitter::ExpandProcResource()`. A Super resource S can be part of a group G. However, method `SubtargetEmitter::ExpandProcResource()` would not update the number of consumed resource cycles in G based on S. In practice, this is perfectly fine because the resource usage is correctly computed for processor resource units. However, llvm-mca should still check if G is a buffered resource. Before this patch, llvm-mca didn't correctly check if S was part of a group that defines a buffer. So, the instruction descriptor was not correctly set. For now, the semantic change introduced by this patch doesn't affect any of the upstream scheduling models. However, it will allow to make some progress on PR3946. llvm-svn: 346545

* [llvm-mca] Introduce a new base class for mca::Instruction, and change how ↵Andrea Di Biagio2018-10-251-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | read/write information is stored. This patch introduces a new base class for Instruction named InstructionBase. Class InstructionBase is responsible for tracking data dependencies with the help of ReadState and WriteState objects. Class Instruction now derives from InstructionBase, and adds extra information related to the `InstrStage` as well as the `RCUTokenID`. ReadState and WriteState objects are no longer unique pointers. This avoids extra heap allocation and pointer checks that weren't really needed. Now, those objects are simply stored into SmallVectors. We use a SmallVector instead of a std::vector because we expect most instructions to only have a very small number of reads and writes. By using a simple SmallVector we also avoid extra heap allocations most of the time. In a debug build, this improves the performance of llvm-mca by roughly 10% (I still have to verify the impact in performance on a release build). llvm-svn: 345280

* [llvm-mca] [llvm-mca] Improved error handling and error reporting from class ↵Andrea Di Biagio2018-10-241-36/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | InstrBuilder. A new class named InstructionError has been added to Support.h in order to improve the error reporting from class InstrBuilder. The llvm-mca driver is responsible for handling InstructionError objects, and printing them out to stderr. The goal of this patch is to remove all the remaining error handling logic from the library code. In particular, this allows us to: - Simplify the logic in InstrBuilder by removing a needless dependency from MCInstrPrinter. - Centralize all the error halding logic in a new function named 'runPipeline' (see llvm-mca.cpp). This is also a first step towards generalizing class InstrBuilder, so that in future, we will be able to reuse its logic to also "lower" MachineInstr to mca::Instruction objects.

* [tblgen][llvm-mca] Add the ability to describe move elimination candidates ↵Andrea Di Biagio2018-10-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | via tablegen. This patch adds the ability to identify instructions that are "move elimination candidates". It also allows scheduling models to describe processor register files that allow move elimination. A move elimination candidate is an instruction that can be eliminated at register renaming stage. Each subtarget can specify which instructions are move elimination candidates with the help of tablegen class "IsOptimizableRegisterMove" (see llvm/Target/TargetInstrPredicate.td). For example, on X86, BtVer2 allows both GPR and MMX/SSE moves to be eliminated. The definition of 'IsOptimizableRegisterMove' for BtVer2 looks like this: ``` def : IsOptimizableRegisterMove<[ InstructionEquivalenceClass<[ // GPR variants. MOV32rr, MOV64rr, // MMX variants. MMX_MOVQ64rr, // SSE variants. MOVAPSrr, MOVUPSrr, MOVAPDrr, MOVUPDrr, MOVDQArr, MOVDQUrr, // AVX variants. VMOVAPSrr, VMOVUPSrr, VMOVAPDrr, VMOVUPDrr, VMOVDQArr, VMOVDQUrr ], CheckNot<CheckSameRegOperand<0, 1>> > ]>; ``` Definitions of IsOptimizableRegisterMove from processor models of a same Target are processed by the SubtargetEmitter to auto-generate a target-specific override for each of the following predicate methods: ``` bool TargetSubtargetInfo::isOptimizableRegisterMove(const MachineInstr *MI) const; bool MCInstrAnalysis::isOptimizableRegisterMove(const MCInst &MI, unsigned CPUID) const; ``` By default, those methods return false (i.e. conservatively assume that there are no move elimination candidates). Tablegen class RegisterFile has been extended with the following information: - The set of register classes that allow move elimination. - Maxium number of moves that can be eliminated every cycle. - Whether move elimination is restricted to moves from registers that are known to be zero. This patch is structured in three part: A first part (which is mostly boilerplate) adds the new 'isOptimizableRegisterMove' target hooks, and extends existing register file descriptors in MC by introducing new fields to describe properties related to move elimination. A second part, uses the new tablegen constructs to describe move elimination in the BtVer2 scheduling model. A third part, teaches llm-mca how to query the new 'isOptimizableRegisterMove' hook to mark instructions that are candidates for move elimination. It also teaches class RegisterFile how to describe constraints on move elimination at PRF granularity. llvm-mca tests for btver2 show differences before/after this patch.

* [TableGen][SubtargetEmitter] Add the ability for processor models to ↵Andrea Di Biagio2018-09-191-5/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | describe dependency breaking instructions. This patch adds the ability for processor models to describe dependency breaking instructions. Different processors may specify a different set of dependency-breaking instructions. That means, we cannot assume that all processors of the same target would use the same rules to classify dependency breaking instructions. The main goal of this patch is to provide the means to describe dependency breaking instructions directly via tablegen, and have the following TargetSubtargetInfo hooks redefined in overrides by tabegen'd XXXGenSubtargetInfo classes (here, XXX is a Target name). ``` virtual bool isZeroIdiom(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const { return false; } virtual bool isDependencyBreaking(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const { return isZeroIdiom(MI); } ``` An instruction MI is a dependency-breaking instruction if a call to method isDependencyBreaking(MI) on the STI (TargetSubtargetInfo object) evaluates to true. Similarly, an instruction MI is a special case of zero-idiom dependency breaking instruction if a call to STI.isZeroIdiom(MI) returns true. The extra APInt is used for those targets that may want to select which machine operands have their dependency broken (see comments in code). Note that by default, subtargets don't know about the existence of dependency-breaking. In the absence of external information, those method calls would always return false. A new tablegen class named STIPredicate has been added by this patch to let processor models classify instructions that have properties in common. The idea is that, a MCInstrPredicate definition can be used to "generate" an instruction equivalence class, with the idea that instructions of a same class all have a property in common. STIPredicate definitions are essentially a collection of instruction equivalence classes. Also, different processor models can specify a different variant of the same STIPredicate with different rules (i.e. predicates) to classify instructions. Tablegen backends (in this particular case, the SubtargetEmitter) will be able to process STIPredicate definitions, and automatically generate functions in XXXGenSubtargetInfo. This patch introduces two special kind of STIPredicate classes named IsZeroIdiomFunction and IsDepBreakingFunction in tablegen. It also adds a definition for those in the BtVer2 scheduling model only. This patch supersedes the one committed at r338372 (phabricator review: D49310). The main advantages are: - We can describe subtarget predicates via tablegen using STIPredicates. - We can describe zero-idioms / dep-breaking instructions directly via tablegen in the scheduling models. In future, the STIPredicates framework can be used for solving other problems. Examples of future developments are: - Teach how to identify optimizable register-register moves - Teach how to identify slow LEA instructions (each subtarget defining its own concept of "slow" LEA). - Teach how to identify instructions that have undocumented false dependencies on the output registers on some processors only. It is also (in my opinion) an elegant way to expose knowledge to both external tools like llvm-mca, and codegen passes. For example, machine schedulers in LLVM could reuse that information when internally constructing the data dependency graph for a code region. This new design feature is also an "opt-in" feature. Processor models don't have to use the new STIPredicates. It has all been designed to be as unintrusive as possible. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D52174 llvm-svn: 342555

Field `IndependentFromDef` is set for ReadState objects associated with dependency-breaking instructions. It is used by the simulator when updating data dependencies between registers. Field `WritesZero` is set by WriteState objects associated with dependency breaking zero-idiom instructions. It helps the PRF identify which writes don't consume any physical registers. llvm-svn: 342483
* [llvm-mca] Introduce the llvm-mca library and organize the directory ↵Matt Davis2018-08-271-0/+485
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.
