[PM] Teach LoopUnroll to update the LPM infrastructure as it unrolls loops.
ClosedPublic

Authored by chandlerc on Jan 18 2017, 12:07 AM.

Details

Summary

We do this by reconstructing the newly added loops after the unroll
completes to avoid threading pass manager details through all the mess
of the unrolling infrastructure.

I've enabled some extra assertions in the LPM to try and catch issues
here and enabled a bunch of unroller tests to try and make sure this is
sane.

Currently, I'm manually running loop-simplify when needed. That should
go away once it is folded into the LPM infrastructure.

Add some detailed comments about what is happening here. After a long
discussion with Mikhail Zolotukhin on IRC, we're both pretty sure this is in
fact the correct logic, but it is sufficiently non-obvious to be worth walking
the reader through with some precision.

Also, I've added a test case that *specifically* triggers the interesting cases
here and checks that we visit the expected loops after both full and partial
unrolling.

I tried to add a test case for loop peeling but currently we don't have any
support for peeling an outer loop.

Rebase and ping.

Adapt to not run loop-simplify unnecessarily now that it is run automatically.

::sigh:: *Actually* remove the unnecessary loop-simplify runs.

This is a little verbose (maybe part of this can be moved to a comment? (up to you, I don't feel strong about it).

#ifdef NDEBUG, maybe ?

Thanks, both addressed!

Nah, it was wordy. Thanks for the suggestion. I both tightened it up and moved part of it to a comment.

Update the patch based on review feedback.

LGTM with one question inline.

AFAIR, we have lcssa-verification pass now (see rL285394). Aren't we redoing it here?

I don't know if we want to keep that pass with the new pass manager, but still we probably want to have one or the other.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Jan 24 2017, 12:03 PM

Thanks, landing!

I feel like a non-pass solution is more clean with the new PM, but I'm completely open to alternatives. The reason why is because the loop PM is now *directly* forming and maintaining LCSSA rather than relying on cross-pass dependencies. That (IMO) makes it much more reasonable to have the PM itself *enforce* LCSSA.

But maybe there are reasons to prefer the pass approach I don't see, so I'm happy to revisit as necessary.
