[SLPVectorizer] Make the scheduler aware of the TreeEntry operands.

Summary

The scheduler's dependence graph gets the use-def dependencies by accessing the operands of the instructions in a bundle. However, buildTree_rec() may change the order of the operands in TreeEntry, and the scheduler is currently not aware of this. This is not causing any functional issues currently, because reordering is restricted to the operands of a single instruction. Once we support operand reordering across multiple TreeEntries, as shown here: http://www.llvm.org/devmtg/2019-04/slides/Poster-Porpodas-Supernode_SLP.pdf , the scheduler will need to get the correct operands from TreeEntry and not from the individual instructions.

In short, this patch:

  • Connects the scheduler's bundle with the corresponding TreeEntry. It introduces new TE and Lane fields in ScheduleData.
  • Moves the location where the operands of the TreeEntry are initialized. This used to take place in newTreeEntry() setting one operand at a time, but is now moved pre-order just before the recursion of buildTree_rec(). This is required because the scheduler needs to access both operands of the TreeEntry in tryScheduleBundle().
  • Updates the scheduler to access the instruction operands through the TreeEntry operands instead of accessing the instruction operands directly.

I think it is better to use "while (BundleMember)"

I agree, BundleMember is a better variable name, but I don't see why a while loop is better here. We are simply iterating across all bundle members, so a for loop should be better, am I wrong?
The while() version of the code would look like this:

auto *BundleMember = SchedBundle;
while (BundleMember) {
    BundleMember->TE = Last;
    BundleMember->Lane = Lane;
    ++Lane;
    BundleMember = BundleMember->NextInBundle;
}

Isn't it a bit too verbose?

hmm, there is "auto* Bundle" is the loop header.

oh, I might be wrong, but I have a notion that for some compilers, it is additional overhead(runtime checks, etc.) to resolve auto in a loop header vs
loop body.

I am not aware of this, but I can replace auto * with ScheduleData *.

Overall, I don't see any issues with linking TreeEntry and SchedularData with lane information.

Looks good to me, just tryScheduleBundle() function type. I think we could simplify it later, @RKSimon @ABataev any comments?

Some minors, @ABataev any thoughts?

auto, also we're asserting for I0 != null below - so maybe just use cast<> and drop the assert?

Use Optional instead?

Seems to me, the values of Vectorized and SchedBundle params are tied: SchedBundle cannot be nullptr if Vectorized is true. Can we exclude Vectorized in this case?

1499

Set default value to = nullptr to reduce the number of changes in newTreeEntry function calls.

1855

Better to use an explicit list of captures.

The formatting here is very strange, better to put comment inside of the else block.

Do you really need to provide Bundle here for gathering node?

No, they are not tied: PHIs don't get scheduled, so they get no bundle, but a TreeEntry is generated for them.
Also we cannot generalize this rule: having PHInodes does not guarantee that we can create a vectorizable TreeEntry. For example, if these PHIs are already in tree, we would need to gather.

So we cannot just use a single variable, like the bundle pointer, to represent this state. I wrapped the bundle pointer inside an Optional as @RKSimon suggested, which can carry the state we need.

2478–2479

Good catch, no need to provide bundle here.

cast includes an isa<>assert - do we really need an extra one?
