[MLIR] Generalize Affine dependence analysis using Affine Relations

[Groverkss]

Summary

This patch removes code very specific to affine dependence analysis and
refactors it as a FlatAfffineRelation.

A FlatAffineRelation represents a set of ordered pairs (domain -> range) where
"domain" and "range" are tuples of identifiers. These relations are used to
represent an "access relation" for memory access on a memref. An access
relation maps elements of an iteration domain to the element(s) of an array
domain accessed by that iteration of the associated statement through some
array reference. The dependence relation representing the dependence
constraints between two memory accesses can be built by composing the access
relation of the destination access by the inverse of the access relation of
source access.

This patch does not change the functionality of the existing dependence
analysis in checkMemrefAccessDependence, but refactors it to use
FlatAffineRelations to deduplicate code and enable code reuse for future
development of features like scheduling, value-based dependence analysis, etc.

This looks great to me in general. Some initial comments below.

in checkMemrefAccessDependence, but refactors it to be reusable.

You may want to say here as to in which context we'd want this to be reusable. It's fine (and in fact better here) if the thing that reuses it comes later but it'd be good to mention that.

Sorted order.

You may want to add a phrase here on when it could fail.

Spell fix: separation

Doc comments although looks obvious now.

dimStart will always be non-negative here (it's unsigned).

Broken sentence here.

What's happening here? This isn't the same slice.

Addressed @bondhugula's comments.

It looks like the refactoring changes the order of inequalities which leads to a change in the loop order. I will try to find out more about why this is happening and try to fix it.

It's not just the loop order: note the trip count of the innermost loop - the slice is larger and sub-optimal (has redundant iterations). This revision is changing functionality contrary to the commit summary.

[Groverkss]

• Keep inequality order same as before

[Groverkss]

Fixed tests.

[bondhugula]

This is looking good to me. Mostly minor comments. Also, the last line of the commit summary is a big vague. Can you spell it out clearly?

mlir/include/mlir/Analysis/AffineStructures.h

970

Separate lines and doc comments for these.

1050–1051

No const on AffineMap - it's immutable by design.

mlir/lib/Analysis/AffineAnalysis.cpp

413

Nit: ret or rel?

425

/*arg_name=*/... syntax wherever you are sending constant values.

432–433

LLVM/MLIR style - use braces for then when using for else.

596

locations?

597–600

Nice.

2094

Remove debug code.

[Groverkss]

Address comments and fix a minor bug.

[Groverkss]

No change. Just update using arcanist.

 //
 // The memref access dependence check is comprised of the following steps:
-// *) Compute access functions for each access. Access functions are computed
-//    using AffineValueMaps initialized with the indices from an access, then
-//    composed with AffineApplyOps reachable from operands of that access,
-//    until operands of the AffineValueMap are loop IVs or symbols.
-// *) Build iteration domain constraints for each access. Iteration domain
-//    constraints are pairs of inequality constraints representing the
-//    upper/lower loop bounds for each AffineForOp in the loop nest associated
-//    with each access.
-// *) Build dimension and symbol position maps for each access, which map
-//    Values from access functions and iteration domains to their position
-//    in the merged constraint system built by this method.
+// *) Build access relation for each access. An access relation maps elements
+//    of an iteration domain to the element(s) of an array domain accessed by
+//    that iteration of the associated statement through some array reference.
+// *) Compute the dependence relation by composing access relation of
+//    `srcAccess` with the inverse of access relation of `dstAccess`.
+//    Doing this builds a relation between iteration domain of `srcAccess`
+//    to the iteration domain of `dstAccess` which access the same memory
+//    location.
+// *) Add ordering constraints for `srcAccess` to be accessed before
+//    `dstAccess`.
 //
 // This method builds a constraint system with the following column format:
 //
 //  [src-dim-identifiers, dst-dim-identifiers, symbols, constant]
 //
 // For example, given the following MLIR code with "source" and "destination"
 // accesses to the same memref label, and symbols %M, %N, %K:
 //

 //     affine.for %i3 = 0 to 50 {
 //       %a1 = affine.apply
 //         (d0, d1) -> (d0 * 7 + d1 * 9 - s1, d1 * 11 + s0) (%i2, %i3)[%K, %M]
 //       // Destination memref access.
 //       %v1 = load %m[%a1#0, %a1#1] : memref<4x4xf32>
 //     }
 //   }
 //
-// The access functions would be the following:
-//
-//   src: (%i0 * 2 - %i1 * 4 + %N, %i1 * 3 - %M)
-//   dst: (%i2 * 7 + %i3 * 9 - %M, %i3 * 11 - %K)
