[CodeGen] Add generic MacroFusion pass.

Summary

This patch adds a generic MacroFusion pass, that is used on X86 and
AArch64, which both define target-specific shouldScheduleAdjacent
functions. This generic pass should make it easier for other targets to
implement macro fusion and I intend to add macro fusion for ARM shortly.

How about using the C++11 range based for loop here?

This patch looks fine to me, but @atrick felt that MacroFusion should belong to the target.

I will have to look into the details later.

This patch looks fine to me, but @atrick felt that MacroFusion should belong to the target.

I did some of the pushing away from the previous shared macrofusion code in the MachineScheduler. I was mainly opposed at the previous static structure that pushed all macrofusion through a TII callback. This way all targets were force to share the same logic: X86 which only does macrofusion for branches would still need to look at all instructions of the basic block. This change brings this problem back I believe?

Having said that code sharing is of course a good idea. There are obviously pieces of macrofusion that can and should be shared. Some notes on the patch though I haven't read it in too much detail:

  • Is there a way to split this into smaller utility functions/classes so X86 can keep just checking the ExitSU for opportunities?
  • That target callback really needs some documentation if it is intended to be reused. I find the current behavior where you sometimes call it with SecondMI == nullptr and sometimes you do not confusing; It feels like two interfaces being mixed together in a single function. At the very least this needs some documentation, better yet simplify the interface if possible.

@MatzeB thank you very much for having a look. I've updated the patch and hope that addresses your comments adequately:

  • I've added two boolean member variables FuseBlock and FuseExit .
  • I've simplified MacroFusion::scheduleAdjacentImpl to only look at predecessors. I think that shouldn't make a difference as the same pairs should be found, just the order they are discovered may be different. @evandro was there a reason why the successors were considered for SUs in a block?
  • shouldScheduleAdjacent now only supports specifying both instructions or the second instruction, I had to update the AArch64 implementation to always check the second opcode first, but it was just the order that changed.
  • I've simplified MacroFusion::scheduleAdjacentImpl to only look at predecessors. I think that shouldn't make a difference as the same pairs should be found, just the order they are discovered may be different. @evandro was there a reason why the successors were considered for SUs in a block?

If memory serves, I came across some anecdotal instances when not all instructions were visited otherwise. The reason, methinks, is that some instructions are marked in a special manner, like stores and prefetches. So, I had to start with at the successors of the EntrySU and then again at the predecessors of ExitSU to make sure that all instructions in a BB would be visited.

I'm inclined to agree that this should be enough.

79

I wonder if this should actually be Dep.isData(), since other dependencies probably don't matter to instruction fusion.

You could make SecondMI a reference now to indicate it is never nullptr, also saves you an assert() below.

30–35

How about splitting this into two functions
createBranchMacroFusionDAGMutation() and createMacroFusionDAGMutation() (or similar names) instead of the two bool parameters to make the calling code easier to read?

lib/CodeGen/MacroFusion.cpp
38

DAG cannot be nullptr, so use a reference; Contrary to apply() this is an internal function which we can change easily.

66

Not true anymore.

68–69

I don't think we should have this shortcut:

  • AnchorMI == nullptr should only be possible for ExitSU, which we could guard against in apply()
  • Hiding isTransient() seems unnecessary.
  • Hiding isPseudo() seems bad. I can easily imagine cases where the last instruction of a pseudo expansions fuses with the next instruction.
72–73

Maybe factor out DAG->TII and DAG->MF.getSubTarget() into a variable, it's used two or three times.

78–80

Maybe we should even go for if (Dep.getKind() != Data) at least I can't imagine right now how anti or output dependencies could lead to macrofusion.

84–86

Similar reasoning as above; Except for DepMI == nullptr being a real possibility for the EntrySU which we can hit here, though you may switch to checking for DepSU.isBoundaryNode() insteadof getInstr() == nullptr to make this fact more obvious.

92–125

Extract the part that adds the fusion edge and does the adjustments into a separate function? I could imagine this being of value if it turns out a new target can use a different/special search strategy for finding fusion opportunities.

end anonymous namespace

As a matter of fact, I can only imagine 2 scenarios: one when the whole BB, including its exit, should be examined and another when only the exit should be examined. If so, then a single flag should suffice.

Thanks again for the feedback!

I think we have to consider Order dependencies as well, because Order dependencies are used between compare and branch instructions, which should be fused on X86.

LGTM with the change below:

lib/CodeGen/MacroFusion.cpp
78–80

Odd, I really would have expected a data dependency on the eflags register for X86. Anyway if that isn't the case today, then you should be able to use at least:

if (Dep.getKind() == Anti || Dep.getKind() == Output || Dep.isWeak())
  continue;

then.

I've reverted the change for now, I'll how to figure out why the call to make_unique is ambiguous with the Microsoft compiler.

http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20141215/249348.html
It seems you need to use llvm::make_unique explicitly, as MSVC tries to use the std variants.
