[RISCV] Combine and remove redundant ADD/SUB instructions
Needs ReviewPublic

Summary

Tail duplication pass can cause appearing of redundant intructions (see attached .ll test). Support the simpliest cases in separate MachineIR pass.

The number of removed instruction from statistics output on LLVM test-suite

This doesn’t look correct. (sext(x) -1) is not the same as sext(x-1).

Consider x==0x000000008000000. Sext(x)-1 is 0xffffffff7fffffff. Sext(x-1) is 0x000000007fffffff.

This list is supposed to be alphabetical. Looks like MakeCompressible broke that, but we shouldn't make it worse.

llvm/lib/Target/RISCV/RISCVAddSubCombiner.cpp
115

Move this above the earlier if and use BaseRegister in the if

171

Cann't -> Can't

176

Reuse the iterator returned from find above

192

Register is wrapper around unsigned. Pass it by value not reference

195

llvm::find_if

236

It doesn't look like Modified is assigned anywhere else in this function

256

This should be a reference.

263

Drop curly braces

270

Do we have to assume there is only 1 def? Can we check isDef on the operand instead of checking 0?

293

Can this be llvm::is_contained?

305

You don't need to manually construct an empty vector here. Calling operator[] on line 310 will default construct the vector if it doesn't already exist. Then the push_back will be called.

323

RISCVSubtarget::getInstrINfo returns a RISCVInstrInfo *. No need for static_cast

llvm/lib/Target/RISCV/RISCVTargetMachine.cpp
242

Use != like the other places in this file

"divided by" -> "keyed by"?

148

Why is the cast to MachineInstr* needed? Isn't there an operator-> on MIB?

169

Remove extra space before RegisterUsageIter

188

Can this use llvm::erase_if?

197

llvm::erase_value?

260

llvm::is_contained?

262

Why do you need to check Operand.isDef() and modifiedRegister? Isn't isDef enough?

llvm/lib/Target/RISCV/RISCVTargetMachine.cpp
243

Should this be done before branch folding since it removes instructions which could reduce jump distance?

This impossible, because BranchFolder is set in pipeline before TailDuplicationPass that combines these redundant instructions in one BB.

Sorry. I meant to write BranchRelaxation.

Oh, yep, I got it.

Need to mention that the number of optimized cases became much less after of rebasing on the new main and escaping combining ADDI and ADDIW on 64-bit platform

Can we update the immediate for MBBI instead of creating a new instruction?

Extra space here

Can add/sub combine use instcombine? Adding a new pass seems to be expensive

I'm afraid that this is impossible because we can't cover all cases on LLVM IR. If you look at llvm/test/CodeGen/RISCV/adds-combinations.ll added in this review, you'll see that these add instructions appear on the late passes. On LLVM IR we can have different cases that can cause generation of such combination. And it seems to me it's hard to predict this on the step of InstCombine. If you have an idea what patterns should be matched in InstCombine, please, share .

I'm not convinced as to the motivation of this patch. Running the provided IR file through instcombine greatly simplifies it, and seems to remove the motivating pattern. As such, either this is an overly reduced test (which is fine, but more motivation is needed in review description), or this is fixing a pass ordering problem in the middle end in the wrong place.

Can you explain why this is the right way to fix this problem? At the moment, I'm unconvinced.

I agree the tests are overly reduced. Based on the description, I think this patch is trying to fix cases where tail duplication duplicates a block that originally contained a phi. This allows duplicated code to end up in the basic block that produced the original incoming value. I've seen this happen where the incoming values are constants. After duplication we end up still putting the constant in a register instead of folding it. I don't think this patch addresses that case though.

That sounds plausible, but the patch itself needs to include this justification (including in reasonable tests).

If this is the use case, it really feels like something tail folding itself should be doing. Having tail folding run a forward simplify pass over the duplicated tail would seem reasonable. Not sure we have the right API for that today, but if not, maybe we should.

Sorry for delay. I checked using InstCombine, but unfortuantely it doesn't help in all cases. I updated adds-combinations.ll test (please, have a look), even if I call opt with instcombine pass, it doesn't change IR in this case. Moreover, I made experiment where I added InstCombinePass after LoopStrengthReduce and measure performance, I got several regressions on benchmarks.
