* [ScopDetection] Only allow SCoP-wide available base pointers.Michael Kruse2017-03-081-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify ScopDetection::isInvariant(). Essentially deny everything that is defined within the SCoP and is not load-hoisted. The previous understanding of "invariant" has a few holes: - Expressions without side-effects with only invariant arguments, but are defined withing the SCoP's region with the exception of selects and PHIs. These should be part of the index expression derived by ScalarEvolution and not of the base pointer. - Function calls with that are !mayHaveSideEffects() (typically functions with "readnone nounwind" attributes). An example is given below. @C = external global i32 declare float* @getNextBasePtr(float*) readnone nounwind ... %ptr = call float* @getNextBasePtr(float* %A, float %B) The call might return: * %A, so %ptr aliases with it in the SCoP * %B, so %ptr aliases with it in the SCoP * @C, so %ptr aliases with it in the SCoP * a new pointer everytime it is called, such as malloc() * a pointer into the allocated block of one of the aforementioned * any of the above, at random at each call Hence and contrast to a comment in the base_pointer.ll regression test, %ptr is not necessarily the same all the time. It might also alias with anything and no AliasAnalysis can tell otherwise if the definition is external. It is hence not suitable in the role of a base pointer. The practical problem with base pointers defined in SCoP statements is that it is not available globally in the SCoP. The statement instance must be executed first before the base pointer can be used. This is no problem if the base pointer is transferred as a scalar value between statements. Uses of MemoryAccess::setNewAccessRelation may add a use of the base pointer anywhere in the array. setNewAccessRelation is used by JSONImporter, DeLICM and D28518. Indeed, BlockGenerator currently assumes that base pointers are available globally and generates invalid code for new access relation (referring to the base pointer of the original code) if not, even if the base pointer would be available in the statement. This could be fixed with some added complexity and restrictions. The ExprBuilder must lookup the local BBMap and code that call setNewAccessRelation must check whether the base pointer is available first. The code would still be incorrect in the presence of aliasing. There is the switch -polly-ignore-aliasing to explicitly allow this, but it is hardly a justification for the additional complexity. It would still be mostly useless because in most cases either getNextBasePtr() has external linkage in which case the readnone nounwind attributes cannot be derived in the translation unit itself, or is defined in the same translation unit and gets inlined.

* [ScopDetection] Require LoadInst base pointers to be hoisted.Michael Kruse2017-03-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only when load-hoisted we can be sure the base pointer is invariant during the SCoP's execution. Most of the time it would be added to the required hoists for the alias checks anyway, except with -polly-ignore-aliasing, -polly-use-runtime-alias-checks=0 or if AliasAnalysis is already sure it doesn't alias with anything (for instance if there is no other pointer to alias with). Two more parts in Polly assume that this load-hoisting took place: - setNewAccessRelation() which contains an assert which tests this. - BlockGenerator which would use to the base ptr from the original code if not load-hoisted (if the access expression is regenerated) Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D30694 llvm-svn: 297195
* Allow invariant loads in the SCoP descriptionJohannes Doerfert2015-10-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows invariant loads to be used in the SCoP description, e.g., as loop bounds, conditions or in memory access functions. First we collect "required invariant loads" during SCoP detection that would otherwise make an expression we care about non-affine. To this end a new level of abstraction was introduced before SCEVValidator::isAffineExpr() namely ScopDetection::isAffine() and ScopDetection::onlyValidRequiredInvariantLoads(). Here we can decide if we want a load inside the region to be optimistically assumed invariant or not. If we do, it will be marked as required and in the SCoP generation we bail if it is actually not invariant. If we don't it will be a non-affine expression as before. At the moment we optimistically assume all "hoistable" (namely non-loop-carried) loads to be invariant. This causes us to expand some SCoPs and dismiss them later but it also allows us to detect a lot we would dismiss directly if we would ask e.g., AliasAnalysis::canBasicBlockModify(). We also allow potential aliases between optimistically assumed invariant loads and other pointers as our runtime alias checks are sound in case the loads are actually invariant. Together with the invariant checks this combination allows to handle a lot more than LICM can. The code generation of the invariant loads had to be extended as we can now have dependences between parameters and invariant (hoisted) loads as well as the other way around, e.g., test/Isl/CodeGen/invariant_load_parameters_cyclic_dependence.ll First, it is important to note that we cannot have real cycles but only dependences from a hoisted load to a parameter and from another parameter to that hoisted load (and so on). To handle such cases we materialize llvm::Values for parameters that are referred by a hoisted load on demand and then materialize the remaining parameters. Second, there are new kinds of dependences between hoisted loads caused by the constraints on their execution. If a hoisted load is conditionally executed it might depend on the value of another hoisted load. To deal with such situations we sort them already in the ScopInfo such that they can be generated in the order they are listed in the Scop::InvariantAccesses list (see compareInvariantAccesses). The dependences between hoisted loads caused by indirect accesses are handled the same way as before. llvm-svn: 249607
* tests: Drop -polly-detect-unprofitable and -polly-no-early-exitTobias Grosser2015-10-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | These flags are now always passed to all tests and need to be disabled if not needed. Disabling these flags, rather than passing them to almost all tests, significantly simplfies our RUN: lines. llvm-svn: 249422

* Remove target triples from test casesTobias Grosser2015-04-211-1/+0
| | | | | | | | I just learned that target triples prevent test cases to be run on other architectures. Polly test cases are until now sufficiently target independent to not require any target triples. Hence, we drop them. llvm-svn: 235384

| | | | | | | | | | Scops that only read seem generally uninteresting and scops that only write are most likely initializations where there is also little to optimize. To not waste compile time we bail early. Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D7735 llvm-svn: 229820

* Check if array base addresses are invariantTobias Grosser2014-01-281-5/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Array base addresses need to be invariant in the region considered. The base address has to be computed outside the region, or, when it is computed inside, the value must not change with the iterations of the loops. For example, when a two-dimensional array is represented as a pointer to pointers the base address A[i] in an access A[i][j] changes with i; therefore, such regions have to be rejected.
