RegAllocFast: Improve hinting heuristic
ClosedPublic

Authored by arsenm on Nov 9 2018, 4:35 PM.

Details

Summary
  • Trace through multiple COPYs when looking for a physreg source.
  • Add hinting for vregs that will be copied into physregs (we only hinted for vregs getting copied to a physreg previously).
  • Give hinted a register a bonus when deciding which value to spill.

This is part of my rewrite regallocfast series. In fact this one doesn't even have an effect unless you also flip the allocation to happen from back to front of a basic block. Nonetheless it helps to split this up to ease review of D52010

Isn't this the same as MI.isFullCopy()?

I do see test changes with this (at least with D54366 reverted). At least one of them is a regression for this situation:

%11:sreg_32_xm0 = COPY %0.sub1
%12:sreg_32_xm0 = COPY %0.sub0

This inserts 2 64-bit restores of %0, and each one uses only one of the subregisters. Previously this did the right thing, and only restored once

Use isFullCopy, add test changes

Rebase, test updates

Looks good to me, modulo the order in which we check the hints.

lib/CodeGen/RegAllocFast.cpp
656

I would rather we try the hint that we've been given first. (I.e., Hint1 before Hint0).

Swap hint order, which changed no tests
