The idea is to put frequently executed blocks together at the // start of the function, and hopefully increase the number of fall-through // conditional branches. If there is no profile information for a particular // function, this pass basically orders blocks in depth-first order // // The algorithm implemented here is basically "Algo1" from "Profile Guided Code // Positioning" by Pettis and Hansen, except that it uses basic block counts // instead of edge counts. This should be improved in many ways, but is very // simple for now. // // Basically we "place" the entry block, then loop over all successors in a DFO, // placing the most frequently executed successor until we run out of blocks. I // told you this was _extremely_ simplistic. :) This is also much slower than it // could be. When it becomes important, this pass will be rewritten to use a // better algorithm, and then we can worry about efficiency. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #define DEBUG_TYPE "block-placement" #include "llvm/Analysis/ProfileInfo.h" #include "llvm/Function.h" #include "llvm/Pass.h" #include "llvm/Support/CFG.h" #include "llvm/Support/Compiler.h" #include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" #include "llvm/Transforms/Scalar.h" #include using namespace llvm; STATISTIC(NumMoved, "Number of basic blocks moved"); namespace { struct VISIBILITY_HIDDEN BlockPlacement : public FunctionPass { static const int ID; // Pass identifcation, replacement for typeid BlockPlacement() : FunctionPass((intptr_t)&ID) {} virtual bool runOnFunction(Function &F); virtual void getAnalysisUsage(AnalysisUsage &AU) const { AU.setPreservesCFG(); AU.addRequired(); //AU.addPreserved(); // Does this work? } private: /// PI - The profile information that is guiding us. /// ProfileInfo *PI; /// NumMovedBlocks - Every time we move a block, increment this counter. /// unsigned NumMovedBlocks; /// PlacedBlocks - Every time we place a block, remember it so we don't get /// into infinite loops. std::set PlacedBlocks; /// InsertPos - This an iterator to the next place we want to insert a /// block.
