* [PM] Add a new "lazy" call graph analysis pass for the new pass manager.Chandler Carruth2014-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The primary motivation for this pass is to separate the call graph analysis used by the new pass manager's CGSCC pass management from the existing call graph analysis pass. That analysis pass is (somewhat unfortunately) over-constrained by the existing CallGraphSCCPassManager requirements. Those requirements make it *really* hard to cleanly layer the needed functionality for the new pass manager on top of the existing analysis. However, there are also a bunch of things that the pass manager would specifically benefit from doing differently from the existing call graph analysis, and this new implementation tries to address several of them: - Be lazy about scanning function definitions. The existing pass eagerly scans the entire module to build the initial graph. This new pass is significantly more lazy, and I plan to push this even further to maximize locality during CGSCC walks. - Don't use a single synthetic node to partition functions with an indirect call from functions whose address is taken. This node creates a huge choke-point which would preclude good parallelization across the fanout of the SCC graph when we got to the point of looking at such changes to LLVM. - Use a memory dense and lightweight representation of the call graph rather than value handles and tracking call instructions. This will require explicit update calls instead of some updates working transparently, but should end up being significantly more efficient. The explicit update calls ended up being needed in many cases for the existing call graph so we don't really lose anything. - Doesn't explicitly model SCCs and thus doesn't provide an "identity" for an SCC which is stable across updates. This is essential for the new pass manager to work correctly. - Only form the graph necessary for traversing all of the functions in an SCC friendly order. This is a much simpler graph structure and should be more memory dense. It does limit the ways in which it is appropriate to use this analysis. I wish I had a better name than "call graph". I've commented extensively this aspect. This is still very much a WIP, in fact it is really just the initial bits. But it is about the fourth version of the initial bits that I've implemented with each of the others running into really frustrating problms. This looks like it will actually work and I'd like to split the actual complexity across commits for the sake of my reviewers. =] The rest of the implementation along with lots of wiring will follow somewhat more rapidly now that there is a good path forward. Naturally, this doesn't impact any of the existing optimizer. This code is specific to the new pass manager. A bunch of thanks are deserved for the various folks that have helped with the design of this, especially Nick Lewycky who actually sat with me to go through the fundamentals of the final version here. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@200903 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* [PM] Wire up the Verifier for the new pass manager and connect it to theChandler Carruth2014-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | various opt verifier commandline options. Mostly mechanical wiring of the verifier to the new pass manager. Exercises one of the more unusual aspects of it -- a pass can be either a module or function pass interchangably. If this is ever problematic, we can make things more constrained, but for things like the verifier where there is an "obvious" applicability at both levels, it seems convenient. This is the next-to-last piece of basic functionality left to make the opt commandline driving of the new pass manager minimally functional for testing and further development. There is still a lot to be done there (notably the factoring into .def files to kill the current boilerplate code) but it is relatively uninteresting. The only interesting bit left for minimal functionality is supporting the registration of analyses. I'm planning on doing that on top of the .def file switch mostly because the boilerplate for the analyses would be significantly worse. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199646 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
* [PM] Add module and function printing passes for the new pass manager.Chandler Carruth2014-01-12
| | | | | | | | | This implements the legacy passes in terms of the new ones. It adds basic testing using explicit runs of the passes. Next up will be wiring the basic output mechanism of opt up when the new pass manager is engaged unless bitcode writing is requested. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199049 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* [PM] Add (very skeletal) support to opt for running the new passChandler Carruth2014-01-11
manager. I cannot emphasize enough that this is a WIP. =] I expect it to change a great deal as things stabilize, but I think its really important to get *some* functionality here so that the infrastructure can be tested more traditionally from the commandline. The current design is looking something like this: ./bin/opt -passes='module(pass_a,pass_b,function(pass_c,pass_d))' So rather than custom-parsed flags, there is a single flag with a string argument that is parsed into the pass pipeline structure. This makes it really easy to have nice structural properties that are very explicit. There is one obvious and important shortcut. You can start off the pipeline with a pass, and the minimal context of pass managers will be built around the entire specified pipeline. This makes the common case for tests super easy: ./bin/opt -passes=instcombine,sroa,gvn But this won't introduce any of the complexity of the fully inferred old system -- we only ever do this for the *entire* argument, and we only look at the first pass. If the other passes don't fit in the pass manager selected it is a hard error. The other interesting aspect here is that I'm not relying on any registration facilities. Such facilities may be unavoidable for supporting plugins, but I have alternative ideas for plugins that I'd like to try first. My plan is essentially to build everything without registration until we hit an absolute requirement. Instead of registration of pass names, there will be a library dedicated to parsing pass names and the pass pipeline strings described above. Currently, this is directly embedded into opt for simplicity as it is very early, but I plan to eventually pull this into a library that opt, bugpoint, and even Clang can depend on. It should end up as a good home for things like the existing PassManagerBuilder as well. There are a bunch of FIXMEs in the code for the parts of this that are just stubbed out to make the patch more incremental. A quick list of what's coming up directly after this: - Support for function passes and building the structured nesting. - Support for printing the pass structure, and FileCheck tests of all of this code. - The .def-file based pass name parsing. - IR priting passes and the corresponding tests. Some obvious things that I'm not going to do right now, but am definitely planning on as the pass manager work gets a bit further: - Pull the parsing into library, including the builders. - Thread the rest of the target stuff into the new pass manager. - Wire support for the new pass manager up to llc. - Plugin support. Some things that I'd like to have, but are significantly lower on my priority list. I'll get to these eventually, but they may also be places where others want to contribute: - Adding nice error reporting for broken pass pipeline descriptions. - Typo-correction for pass names. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@198998 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
