[SCEV] Query expanded immediate cost at minsize

Summary

As code size is the only thing we care about at minsize, query the cost of materialising immediates when calculating the cost of a SCEV expansion. We also modify the CostKind to TCK_CodeSize for minsize, instead of RecipThroughput. This gives -0.1% geomean reduction of the llvm test suite at -Oz for both thumbv7a and aarch64.

Hmm, i'm not a ventillator. Some initial thoughts.

  1. This is rather pessimistic. If we really want to do this, we need to use TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCostInst().
  2. What cost does that model? I'm under impression that TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCost*() model TargetCostKind::TCK_CodeSize, since it is mainly used in ConstantHoistingPass. Here we model TargetCostKind::TCK_RecipThroughput.
  3. Assuming that TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCost*() actually models TargetCostKind::TCK_RecipThroughput, i believe, all X86 changes should not be here. Either most of them will get fixed via using TargetTransformInfo::getIntImmCostInst(), or the llvm::SCEVCheapExpansionBudget will need to be bumped.

@samparker are you trying to mitigate perf impact for in-order CPU?
I wonder if D73501 simply is counter-productive then.
Though yes, vectorizers need to be taught that trick.

Thanks for taking a look.

This sounds good and what I was also considering.

What cost does that model?

I was under the impression that throughput/codesize costs for immediates would be highly correlated, where a 'high cost' constant would introduce instruction(s) to generate it, increasing code size and reducing throughput. As @spatel said in D76124, the lines have become blurred but we should be modelling at least something here.

I would be lying if I said that the patch didn't cause a whole world of pain :) But I would like to try to resolve this, if we can, by modelling costs better. The SCEV changes may have just broken our we do unrolling for our little microcontrollers, so I'll be looking at ARM TTI too.

Do we model rthrougput for constants elsewhere?
I may be wrong, but i don't recall seeing any such modelling previously.
Let's take a step back here. How about we simply revert D73501?

Do we model rthrougput for constants elsewhere?

I guess that depends on who 'we' are because, again, different backends will be modelling different things. Why the focus on throughput now anyway? When this code was using getOperationCost, it would have been getting some performance/code size cost, which I expect most backends will be modelling for constants. And I'm not really sure why throughput is specifically important here, we're not concerning ourselves with the throughput of casts and compares, right?

Sounds good to me, although I still need to prod around here to see if codegen risk being erratic in the future.

Sorry, i meant llvm transforms in general, not backends.

We have 3 cost models - latency, size and rthroughput.
My aspirational goal in this scevexpander budget was: "how much more computations are we willing to do without it being too much of a burden?"
Size model isn't really applicable here - we *could* lower any sequence into a libcall, regardless of it's native instruction count.
Likewise i'm not sure we're really after latency here, which leaves us with rthroughput.
But we can't subtract oranges from cucumbers, so all cost modelling should be consistently using rthroughput cost model.
Thus i'm asking, what does getIntImmCost() model? rthroughput or size?

I'm pretty sure there's only two APIs that were designed around throughput: 'getInstructionThroughput' and 'getArithmeticInstrCost' and maybe the latter should be named more explicitly. The code size calls are generally a bit more explicit, so there's 'getIntImmCodeSizeCost', which is not the one I've used.

"how much more computations are we willing to do without it being too much of a burden?"

And this also depends what we're considering as a 'burden', and another angle that I'll probably need to look at in the near future is the burden of code size... Either way, this code shouldn't assume that constants are free (in any sense of the term).

Introduced a lambda to look at an expressions operand and, if it's a constant, query for cost using getIntImmCostInst.

The API is there to figure out whether the constant will be folded into the given instruction, otherwise there will be some 'cost' to materialize it. Having to generate instruction(s) for the materialization is likely to increase code size, but more importantly, reduce throughput and increase latency - which is why it's sometimes beneficial to hoist expensive constants out of loops.

Rebased. Thanks for reverting rewriteLoopExitValues @lebedev.ri, but I'm still seeing value in this patch. I'm not seeing any changes when running the test suite on my X86 box, but for Arm's DSP suite this affects 42/166 benchmarks for Thumb1 and 30/166 for Thumb2. Out of those changes I'm seeing a 1.6% geomean improvement for both targets.

That are really nice code size savings!

As only the improvements are shown, just curious if there are no regressions? Thus, this is overall an improvement too?
And for extra confidence and as the numbers are easy to obtain, probably best to get numbers for x86 too?

Thanks!. That's the full set of results, there's a few little regressions for thumb and I think only one for aarch64... I'll get the X86 numbers now.

Similar story on X86 as well:

I'm not convinced this modelling is correct.
(which is why i didn't respond, but apparently i forgot to actually post that)

If we have SCEV x + y + 42, 42 will be modelled as-if it's at index 2,
but we should model this as (x + y) + 42, because there's usually some
form of an add that takes an immediate as second param.

2286–2289

Same

2290–2297

And again, if we have umin(x, y, 42), it's lowered as z = (x u< y) ? x : y ; z u< 42 ? z : 42,
so you can't possibly have third operand here.

Ah! Right, I'll try to fix that.

samparker updated this revision to Diff 285028.Aug 12 2020, 3:27 AM

Changed how operands are visited and costed, hopefully now translating the SCEV operand index correctly to an Instruction index.

SjoerdMeijer accepted this revision.Aug 14 2020, 12:53 AM

With @lebedev.ri last comment fixed, this now looks good to me. Please wait a day or so just in case there are more comments.

lebedev.ri requested changes to this revision.EditedAug 14 2020, 2:30 AM

I think this is going in the wrong direction.
I think the worklist needs to be changed, to be a struct { unsigned ParentOpcode; int OperandIdx; SCEV* S; },
then everything should suddenly become less convoluted/hand-wavey.

Yeah, that sounds better, I'll put together a separate patch. Are you happy with the operand index clamping though?

Looks about right i guess.

Can we still get a constant here?

We are not taxing constants for right-shifts.

Now I notice that I wouldn't have been handling AddRec expressions... So should these operands be added to the worklist for both Add and Mul or would just Add be okay?

All this is (becoming?) so incredibly fragile...
Have you checked what happens if you simply make isHighCostExpansionHelper() always return true for -Oz? :)
This really needs refactoring/generalization.

llvm/lib/Transforms/Utils/ScalarEvolutionExpander.cpp
2305

Given A + B*x, you'd want to model A as being at index 1,
and B as being part of multipler (again, at index 1.

And for higher orders A + B*x + C*x^2, again, B and C are part of multiply,
and it should be modelled as (B*x + C*x^2) + A.

So i think the generalization is that all nary operands except the first one are at index 1 of mul,
and the first nary operand is at index 1 of add.

This really needs refactoring/generalization.

I will try...

Have you checked what happens if you simply make isHighCostExpansionHelper() always return true for -Oz? :)

I thought I did, but actually it was just for rewriting loop exit values... I will run the numbers though! But I'm also interested in whether this can still be beneficial for execution speed too.

Okay, thanks.

I just ran some numbers for when -Oz == HighCost and it's interesting... For Arm it's not good:

In D76434 you highlighted by SCEVNAry expressions can have more than two operands, which would expand to a chain of operations, and the existing costs for AddRecExprs tries to account for that. But this was missing for normal Add and Mul expressions. Have I misunderstood you?

Doesn't look missing to me?

Ah, thanks! I'm getting lost amongst the patches.

samparker updated this revision to Diff 286253.Aug 18 2020, 4:49 AM

Rebased on top of D86050 and introduced a struct to map operands for the worklist, instead of just storing the opcode.

Rebased now that the refactor patch is in.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

Let's discuss any further desired tweaks in a post-commit review.

@samparker why did you commit this?
I have not finished reviewing this, and i've requested changes to the previous revisions.

This needs a better comment.
Min/Max Idx are pretty magical on the first look.

2189

Not llvm coding style in any case.
These should likely be Min/Max

2192–2193

SCEVOperand::OperandIdx is int

2233

Please do mark done comments as such.

2349

Consider constants to be free unless we are optforsize

2352–2353

These are only used in a single place

2357

This is inconsistent with every other return here.

We had gone through many revisions where I've addressed all of your (helpful) comments and I hadn't heard anything else for three weeks. I sincerely expected the remaining issues to be style changes which seem appropriate for a post-commit review.

But when we enumerate the SCEV operands, the index is size_t and the types need to be compatible for std::max and min.
