[X86] Pass to transform amx intrinsics to scalar operation.
ClosedPublic

Authored by yubing on Dec 20 2020, 4:58 AM.

Details

Summary

This pass runs in any situations but we skip it when it is not O0 and the
function doesn't have optnone attribute. With -O0, the def of shape to amx
intrinsics is near the amx intrinsics code. We are not able to find a
point which post-dominate all the shape and dominate all amx intrinsics.
To decouple the dependency of the shape, we transform amx intrinsics
to scalar operation, so that compiling doesn't fail. In long term, we
should improve fast register allocation to allocate amx register.

I don't think you can detect O0 this way. A function can have the optnone attribute in the non-O0 pipeline and won't be optimized by the middle end.

This can occur if you mix an 00 translation unit and an O3 translation unit in LTO and use O3 for the LTO pipeline.

@craig.topper, thank you! How about to check "optnone" attribute in X86LowerAMXIntrinsicsPass and determine if the amx intrinsics in the function need to be scalarized?

bool C = false

440

We can use a forward order to iterate it.
Besides, we cannot assume there always be bitcast after e.g. x86_tileloadd64_internal. So we need to insert one bitcast as required.

471

Remove the {} for single line loop.

You can just return it by return LAT.visit().

We may add both pass anyway and skip the pass based on the option level and option attribute in the two passes.

In fact, no need handle Row, Col, K here, just use fix size 16x16, the result of calculation is some in effective area. (just need tileload "keep" the "unused" area is 0).
Then can use vector to handle all of the them, let type legalization to split the type.

We should keep the code here. In bf16, since +0.0(0x0000) * negative float is equal to -0.0(0x8000), following your solution is not able to ensure outer edge is allzero.

It should be in another line.

The name seems not good. Is "PreBuilder" better? And why we need two builder in the function?

Maybe use right shift instruction which is more efficient. Don't the following pass can optimize the operation.

Is "PreBuilder" better?

Can we just use template <bool IsLoad>? I think it also can reduce the branch.

100

Not sure how about the arithmetic intrinsics. But at least for load and store intrinsics we can use LLVM intrinsic llvm.masked.load/store to reduce the inner loop.

167

Maybe we can just use cast to help to raise the assertion.

You can use cast to help to check the failure so that VecA/B/C won't be uninitialized.

Yes, it is necessary since you should use updated eltC(aka, Cij) when you are doing matrix dotproduct:
Cij =Cij+Ai1.*B1j
Cij =Cij+Ai2.*B2j
....
Cij =Cij+AiK.*BKj

But you don't need to update both C and D. Something like the psudo code should enough:

for (k : K)
  Dij += Aik * Bkj;
Dij += Cij

I change code into the following style, and it can also reduce inner loop's size:

for (k : K)
  Cij += Aik * Bkj;
Dij = Cij

Besides, I hoist the procedure of calculating (i,j)'s linear index above inner loops.

It seems keeping vector C unchanged is simpler. We can eliminate the phi, extract and insert instruction for vector C.

But your solution still need to update D so D's phi will be kept in the inner loops.

We always enable it. Also need to mention optnone.

Curly brackets are not necessary here.

Do we need to remove the successor? Isn't it still being dominated?

Use 1 directly?

Better use the same naming conversion, i.e. ColLoopHeader

Better to change the order, e.g.

FixedVectorType *V256I32Ty = FixedVectorType::get(EltTy, 256);

Hi, @RKSimon @nicolasvasilache , it seems we haven't told libLLVMX86CodeGen.so.13git to link TransformUtils inllvm/lib/Target/X86/CMakeLists.txt, That's why we encounter buildfail.
But There is a strange thing which can be observed in build.ninja :
When I cmake with "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF", libLLVMX86CodeGen.a will still link lib/libLLVMTransformUtils.a.
When I cmake with "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON", libLLVMX86CodeGen.so.13git won't link TransformUtils.
Is there any difference in build system for static library and shared library?

It looks like this has caused a compile-time regression at O0: https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=9341bcbdc93a251b632ffaa51a84452a7a4a5e4e&to=4f198b0c27b04e830a3069aaf4b39cf203eaae4a&stat=instructions

The cause is probably the computation of DomTree and LoopInfo, even if no AMX intrinsics are present. I think you should be able to easily fix this by not fetching DT/LI from the pass manager, and computing them in the pass instead (only if intrinsics are present).

Thanks, @nikic, I will fix it ASAP. Besides, How could I reproduce the regression?
Eh, I am asking these question because I think I should see if the repression can't be reproduced with my future bugfix.

@yubing In this case I would recommend building sqlite3.c from test-suite under perf stat and look at the instructions metric. For me the command looks like this:

perf stat CLANG_BINARY   -w -Werror=date-time -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DSQLITE_OMIT_LOAD_EXTENSION=1 -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0 -I. -MD -MT MultiSource/Applications/sqlite3/CMakeFiles/sqlite3.dir/sqlite3.c.o -MF MultiSource/Applications/sqlite3/CMakeFiles/sqlite3.dir/sqlite3.c.o.d -o MultiSource/Applications/sqlite3/CMakeFiles/sqlite3.dir/sqlite3.c.o   -c ../MultiSource/Applications/sqlite3/sqlite3.c

You can generally get a build command using ninja -v sqlite3 in test-suite.

I can reproduce the regression. I'll help to fix it.
