[SLP] Schedule only sub-graph of vectorizable instructions
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

SLP currently schedules all instructions within a scheduling window which stretches from the first instruction potentially vectorized to the last. This window can include a very large number of unrelated instructions which are not being considered for vectorization. This change switches the code to only schedule the sub-graph consisting of the instructions being vectorized and their transitive users.

This has the effect of greatly reducing the amount of work performed in large basic blocks, and thus greatly improves compile time on degenerate examples. To understand the effects, I added some statistics (not planned for upstream contribution). Here's an illustration from my motivating example:

Before this patch:

704357 SLP                          - Number of calcDeps actions
 699021 SLP                          - Number of schedule calls
   5598 SLP                          - Number of ReSchedule actions
     59 SLP                          - Number of ReScheduleOnFail actions
  10084 SLP                          - Number of schedule resets
   8523 SLP                          - Number of vector instructions generated

After this patch:

102895 SLP                          - Number of calcDeps actions
 161916 SLP                          - Number of schedule calls
   5637 SLP                          - Number of ReSchedule actions
     55 SLP                          - Number of ReScheduleOnFail actions
  10083 SLP                          - Number of schedule resets
   8403 SLP                          - Number of vector instructions generated

I do want to highlight that there is a small difference in number of generated vector instructions. I have to admit I'm confused by this, as in theory, the scheduling should not change this at all. I have not been able to reduce an example that differs, and I don't see such a change in the tests. Any ideas what might be going on here?

(Edit: I think I see the cause. This example is hitting the bailout due to maximum window size, and the change in scheduling is slightly perturbing when and how we hit it. This can be seen in the RescheduleOnFail counter change. Given that, I think we can safely ignore.)

The downside of this change can be seen in the large test diff. We group all vectorizable instructions together at the bottom of the scheduling region. This means that vector instructions can move quite far from their original point in code. While maybe undesirable, I don't see this as being a major problem as this pass is not intended to be a general scheduling pass.

For context, it's worth noting that the pre-scheduling that SLP does while building the vector tree is exactly the sub-graph scheduling implemented by this patch.

Can we keep this assert here or replace it with another one? It helps in many cases with incorrect scheduling.

Not easily. We'd need to track the increments through the calls to calculateDependencies since the set size now depends on the transitive use walk.

I get why you want this, but I don't see an easy way to preserve it.

Do you think it's worth the complexity of plumbing an assert only param through calculateDependencies?

Did you have something particular in mind?

Not trying to be difficult, I just don't see a simple assert here.

reames updated this revision to Diff 405696.Feb 3 2022, 10:01 AM

Rebase and remove dependency on NFC changes. This should be able to land either before or after those.

Thinking about this, I could at least add an assert that all of the bundled instructions were scheduled. That wouldn't handle transitive users of the vector tree, but it would be better than nothing. Would that satisfy you?

This code is very sensitive and as you already noted it might be very useful to keep this (or similar) assert. Could you add an assert for bundled instructions and transitive users to be absolutely sure that neither this patch, nor future ones, break anything in scheduling?

reames updated this revision to Diff 409015.Feb 15 2022, 12:39 PM

Rebase over 2e507607 which includes the requested scheduling assert.

Landed in 2e507607, patch rebased.

This turned out much simpler than I'd pictured, and is clearly warranted. Thank you for pushing on this.

Hi, we've bisected some win32 miscompiles to this patch: https://crbug.com/1300322.
It seems like some inalloca allocas are getting moved around relative to their corresponding llvm.stacksave/stackrestore.
Not being familiar with SLPVectorizer, I'm not sure if this patch caused it or exposed some existing issue. Any advice?

Based on some debug logs, it seems like the llvm.stacksave()/llvm.stackrestore()s are moving around, not the allocas.

Ideally we'd revert this patch, but there are a lot of patches on top of this and the revert isn't clean.

I can try to do it tomorrow, if Philip won't revert it himself.

Actually this sequence seems to pass check-llvm with expensive checks on. Is this reasonable?

Thank you for the revert. I agree that the test case above shows a correctness problem in SLP. I don't yet see how that's related to this change, but will investigate and see what falls out.

Initial investigation - SLP is allowing the formation of a bundle containing allocas. This is highly suspect as there is a dependency edge between an alloca and any following stacksave which doesn't exist in the code. There's also a question of whether static allocas should be reschedule such that they're no longer static.

I can definitely see why this interacts badly with the reverted patch. I'm currently suspicious the existing code is also wrong, working on trying to find a test case now.

Further update - the old code is "correct" for definitions of correct which require multiple accidents to keep correct behavior. More than that, the code relies on forming an illegal bundle (e.g. one which has missing dependencies) in order to get hit the shufflevector code path. Have I mentioned recently that this code is less than ideal? Working on a fix now.

Root issue fixed (689bab) and patch reapplied. Please confirm the unreduced example is also fixed; it's always possible there were two issues and we only reduced/fixed one.

We see other problems that started appearing with this commit.

If you have known problems, please file a bug. Waiting until I fix one and then reporting something new in the review after a reland is less than helpful.

I'm about to revert again. I don't have time to investigate this immediately, so it'll probably be a day or two before I report back on the cause of this one.

Sounds like you're already planning on re-reverting, but the unreduced case on our end started failing again at the reland as well: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1300322#c15

Running slp-vectorizer on the attached file, you'll see that the same issue with stacksave/restore and inalloca allocas happens around the second call to IsDeprecatedMap.

I wrote
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54197
and
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54198
about the two problems I've seen.

I did take a look at this, and figured out at least one of the problems. The scheduling code does not account for implicit control dependencies. (e.g. consider a case where we reorder two maythrow functions) The alloca symptom is one example of this, but there are also a bunch of others. The original code ends up being (mostly?) correct by relying on the scheduler not to change the order of two instructions which are both "ready". I have this bad feeling that the original code is wrong in some cornercase, but don't have a reproducer. To reland this patch, I will need to implement implicit control flow dependencies.

There may be another problem here as well. I discovered the above via code inspection, and I can't quite map how that bug causes the sanitizer failures. However, I haven't looked into that as a) the reproduction is annoying complicated and b) I've been focused on memoryssa in the meantime.

Ok, at this point, I've identified two missing dependency bugs in the original code, and fixed both. I believe these two to explain the regressions reported against this change in their entirety.

I have run a stage2 build with scheduling priority reversed (so as to help expose any further missing dependencies) and expensive checks (in this file only) enabled, both with and without this change applied. I do not see any indication of further missing dependencies, but scheduling defects which aren't caught by the verifier are only moderately likely to be caught by this approach.

I'm going to wait a couple days to make sure the dependency changes stick without issue, and then reapply with this change. In the meantime, if anyone wants to retest on top-of-tree with this change applied, I'd really appreciate positive confirmation that I got everything lurking here.

I've verified that the above two problems I saw both disappeared with 6253b77da9:

[SLP] Respect control dependence within a block during scheduling

Thank you! Positive confirmation here very much appreciated.

Hi,

Heads up that I've seen the following assert (added in 6253b77da) trigger in one of our downstream tests:

opt: ../lib/Transforms/Vectorize/SLPVectorizer.cpp:8066: void llvm::slpvectorizer::BoUpSLP::BlockScheduling::calculateDependencies(llvm::slpvectorizer::BoUpSLP::ScheduleData *, bool, llvm::slpvectorizer::BoUpSLP *): Assertion `DepDest && "must be in schedule window"' failed.

I'll try to extract a reproducer and come back.

Ok, at commit 31486a9fc27 it crashed with

opt -passes='function<eager-inv>(slp-vectorizer)' -o /dev/null slp.ll

However, I noticed that it doesn't crash on trunk anymore after commit 79a182371e

[SLP]Make stricter check for instructions that do not require
scheduling.

Need to check that the instructions with external operands can be
reordered safely before actualy exclude them from the scheduling.

So perhaps/hopefully the problem is already solved.

Edit: Ok, now I realize this has been reported already in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54465

I've run some more testing with this patch reapplied locally without seeing problems so there at least doesn't seem to be anything that pops up at once for us.
(Always hard to know how much testing is "enough" when running fuzz testing though, but I've run tests for two nights without seeing anything else than the problem above that has already been fixed.)

@uabelho - Thank you! I really appreciate the amount of work you've put towards confirming that no further problems are lurking. You've gone above and beyond here, thanks!

Since we seem to have reasonable confidence that the underlying issues have been fixed, and that the fixes for those issues are stable in tree, I'm going to go ahead and push the original change again this morning. I will monitor for a couple hours in case of immediate fallout, but will be out of office for a good chunk of the day. If anyone spots fallout that looks severe, please feel free to revert without me.

Well, it seems I got slightly ahead of myself. When reviewing the diff before push, I spotted another questionable looking alloca/stacksave reordering. We appear to have one more missing dependency.

define void @stacksave2(i8 %a, i8 %b, i8 %c) {
; CHECK-LABEL: @stacksave2(
-; CHECK-NEXT: [[V1:%.*]] = alloca i8, align 1
; CHECK-NEXT: [[STACK:%.*]] = call i8* @llvm.stacksave()
+; CHECK-NEXT: [[B2:%.*]] = getelementptr i8*, i8
[[B:%.*]], i32 1
+; CHECK-NEXT: [[V1:%.*]] = alloca i8, align 1

Here we are sinking an alloca from above a stacksave into the region of the save/restore. This looks pretty suspect as there could be a use of v1 after the stackrestore and thus the transform could introduce an out of bounds access on the stack. The only way I can see this being correct was if the original program would have to be undefined, but I don't currently why that would be the case.

Here's where I'm very happy I spent time to write extensive tests even though at the time I didn't think we needed this dependence.

I've gone ahead and fixed the last missing dependence case I found, and landed the rebased patch. At this point, I'm not expecting further fallout, but if anyone sees anything, please feel free to immediately revert as long as you've filed a bug with a reproducer. I would not be shocked to find we do have another missing scheduling dependence somewhere.
