10 // This pass implements the stack-coloring optimization that looks for
11 // lifetime markers machine instructions (LIFESTART_BEGIN and LIFESTART_END),
12 // which represent the possible lifetime of stack slots. It attempts to
13 // merge disjoint stack slots and reduce the used stack space.
14 // NOTE: This pass is not StackSlotColoring, which optimizes spill slots.
15 //
16 // TODO: In the future we plan to improve stack coloring in the following ways:
17 // 1. Allow merging multiple small slots into a single larger slot at different
18 //    offsets.
19 // 2. Merge this pass with StackSlotColoring and allow merging of allocas with
20 //    spill slots.

103 // Stack Coloring reduces stack usage by merging stack slots when they
104 // can't be used together. For example, consider the following C program:
105 //
106 //     void bar(char *, int);
107 //     void foo(bool var) {
108 //         A: {
109 //             char z[4096];
110 //             bar(z, 0);
111 //         }
112 //
113 //         char *p;
114 //         char x[4096];
115 //         char y[4096];
116 //         if (var) {
117 //             p = x;
118 //         } else {
119 //             bar(y, 1);
120 //             p = y + 1024;
121 //         }
122 //     B:
123 //         bar(p, 2);
124 //     }
125 //
126 // Naively-compiled, this program would use 12k of stack space. However, the
127 // stack slot corresponding to `z` is always destroyed before either of the
128 // stack slots for `x` or `y` are used, and then `x` is only used if `var`
129 // is true, while `y` is only used if `var` is false. So in no time are 2
130 // of the stack slots used together, and therefore we can merge them,
131 // compiling the function using only a single 4k alloca:
132 //
133 //     void foo(bool var) { // equivalent
134 //         char x[4096];
135 //         char *p;
136 //         bar(x, 0);
137 //         if (var) {
138 //             p = x;
139 //         } else {
140 //             bar(x, 1);
141 //             p = x + 1024;
142 //         }
143 //         bar(p, 2);
144 //     }
145 //
146 // This is an important optimization if we want stack space to be under
147 // control in large functions, both open-coded ones and ones created by
148 // inlining.
149 //
150 // Implementation Notes:
151 // ---------------------
152 //
153 // An important part of the above reasoning is that `z` can't be accessed
154 // while the latter 2 calls to `bar` are running. This is justified because
155 // `z`'s lifetime is over after we exit from block `A:`, so any further
156 // accesses to it would be UB. The way we represent this information
157 // in LLVM is by having frontends delimit blocks with `lifetime.start`
158 // and `lifetime.end` intrinsics.
159 //
160 // The effect of these intrinsics seems to be as follows (maybe I should
161 // specify this in the reference?):
162 //
163 //   L1) at start, each stack-slot is marked as *out-of-scope*, unless no
164 //   lifetime intrinsic refers to that stack slot, in which case
165 //   it is marked as *in-scope*.
166 //   L2) on a `lifetime.start`, a stack slot is marked as *in-scope* and
167 //   the stack slot is overwritten with `undef`.
168 //   L3) on a `lifetime.end`, a stack slot is marked as *out-of-scope*.
169 //   L4) on function exit, all stack slots are marked as *out-of-scope*.
170 //   L5) `lifetime.end` is a no-op when called on a slot that is already
171 //   *out-of-scope*.
172 //   L6) memory accesses to *out-of-scope* stack slots are UB.
173 //   L7) when a stack-slot is marked as *out-of-scope*, all pointers to it
174 //   are invalidated, unless the slot is "degenerate". This is used to
175 //   justify not marking slots as in-use until the pointer to them is
176 //   used, but feels a bit hacky in the presence of things like LICM. See
177 //   the "Degenerate Slots" section for more details.
178 //
179 // Now, let's ground stack coloring on these rules. We'll define a slot
180 // as *in-use* at a (dynamic) point in execution if it either can be
181 // written to at that point, or if it has a live and non-undef content
182 // at that point.
183 //
184 // Obviously, slots that are never *in-use* together can be merged, and
185 // in our example `foo`, the slots for `x`, `y` and `z` are never
186 // in-use together (of course, sometimes slots that *are* in-use together
187 // might still be mergable, but we don't care about that here).
188 //
189 // In this implementation, we successively merge pairs of slots that are
190 // not *in-use* together. We could be smarter - for example, we could merge
191 // a single large slot with 2 small slots, or we could construct the
192 // interference graph and run a "smart" graph coloring algorithm, but with
193 // that aside, how do we find out whether a pair of slots might be *in-use*
194 // together?
195 //
196 // From our rules, we see that *out-of-scope* slots are never *in-use*,
197 // and from (L7) we see that "non-degenerate" slots remain non-*in-use*
198 // until their address is taken. Therefore, we can approximate slot activity
199 // using dataflow.
200 //
201 // A subtle point: naively, we might try to figure out which pairs of
202 // stack-slots interfere by propagating `S in-use` through the CFG for every
203 // stack-slot `S`, and having `S` and `T` interfere if there is a CFG point in
204 // which they are both *in-use*.
205 //
206 // That is sound, but overly conservative in some cases: in our (artificial)
207 // example `foo`, either `x` or `y` might be in use at the label `B:`, but
208 // as `x` is only in use if we came in from the `var` edge and `y` only
209 // if we came from the `!var` edge, they still can't be in use together.
210 // See PR32488 for an important real-life case.
211 //
212 // If we wanted to find all points of interference precisely, we could
213 // propagate `S in-use` and `S&T in-use` predicates through the CFG. That
214 // would be precise, but requires propagating `O(n^2)` dataflow facts.
215 //
216 // However, we aren't interested in the *set* of points of interference
217 // between 2 stack slots, only *whether* there *is* such a point. So we
218 // can rely on a little trick: for `S` and `T` to be in-use together,
219 // one of them needs to become in-use while the other is in-use (or
220 // they might both become in use simultaneously). We can check this
221 // by also keeping track of the points at which a stack slot might *start*
222 // being in-use.
223 //
224 // Exact first use:
225 // ----------------
226 //
227 // Consider the following motivating example:
228 //
229 //     int foo() {
230 //       char b1[1024], b2[1024];
231 //       if (...) {
232 //         char b3[1024];
233 //         <uses of b1, b3>;
234 //         return x;
235 //       } else {
236 //         char b4[1024], b5[1024];
237 //         <uses of b2, b4, b5>;
238 //         return y;
239 //       }
240 //     }
241 //
242 // In the code above, "b3" and "b4" are declared in distinct lexical
243 // scopes, meaning that it is easy to prove that they can share the
244 // same stack slot. Variables "b1" and "b2" are declared in the same
245 // scope, meaning that from a lexical point of view, their lifetimes
246 // overlap. From a control flow pointer of view, however, the two
247 // variables are accessed in disjoint regions of the CFG, thus it
248 // should be possible for them to share the same stack slot. An ideal
249 // stack allocation for the function above would look like:
250 //
251 //     slot 0: b1, b2
252 //     slot 1: b3, b4
253 //     slot 2: b5
254 //
255 // Achieving this allocation is tricky, however, due to the way
256 // lifetime markers are inserted. Here is a simplified view of the
257 // control flow graph for the code above:
258 //
259 //                +------  block 0 -------+
260 //               0| LIFETIME_START b1, b2 |
261 //               1| <test 'if' condition> |
262 //                +-----------------------+
263 //                   ./              \.
264 //   +------  block 1 -------+   +------  block 2 -------+
265 //  2| LIFETIME_START b3     |  5| LIFETIME_START b4, b5 |
266 //  3| <uses of b1, b3>      |  6| <uses of b2, b4, b5>  |
267 //  4| LIFETIME_END b3       |  7| LIFETIME_END b4, b5   |
268 //   +-----------------------+   +-----------------------+
269 //                   \.              /.
270 //                +------  block 3 -------+
271 //               8| <cleanupcode>         |
272 //               9| LIFETIME_END b1, b2   |
273 //              10| return                |
274 //                +-----------------------+
275 //
276 // If we create live intervals for the variables above strictly based
277 // on the lifetime markers, we'll get the set of intervals on the
278 // left. If we ignore the lifetime start markers and instead treat a
279 // variable's lifetime as beginning with the first reference to the
280 // var, then we get the intervals on the right.
281 //
282 //            LIFETIME_START      First Use
283 //     b1:    [0,9]               [3,4] [8,9]
284 //     b2:    [0,9]               [6,9]
285 //     b3:    [2,4]               [3,4]
286 //     b4:    [5,7]               [6,7]
287 //     b5:    [5,7]               [6,7]
288 //
289 // For the intervals on the left, the best we can do is overlap two
290 // variables (b3 and b4, for example); this gives us a stack size of
291 // 4*1024 bytes, not ideal. When treating first-use as the start of a
292 // lifetime, we can additionally overlap b1 and b5, giving us a 3*1024
293 // byte stack (better).
294 //
295 // Degenerate Slots:
296 // -----------------
297 //
298 // Relying entirely on first-use of stack slots is problematic,
299 // however, due to the fact that optimizations can sometimes migrate
300 // uses of a variable outside of its lifetime start/end region. Here
301 // is an example:
302 //
303 //     int bar() {
304 //       char b1[1024], b2[1024];
305 //       if (...) {
306 //         <uses of b2>
307 //         return y;
308 //       } else {
309 //         <uses of b1>
310 //         while (...) {
311 //           char b3[1024];
312 //           <uses of b3>
313 //         }
314 //       }
315 //     }
316 //
317 // Before optimization, the control flow graph for the code above
318 // might look like the following:
319 //
320 //                +------  block 0 -------+
321 //               0| LIFETIME_START b1, b2 |
322 //               1| <test 'if' condition> |
323 //                +-----------------------+
324 //                   ./              \.
325 //   +------  block 1 -------+    +------- block 2 -------+
326 //  2| <uses of b2>          |   3| <uses of b1>          |

328 //              |                            |

333 //              |              /  +------- block 4 -------+
334 //              \             /  5| LIFETIME_START b3     |    |
335 //               \           /   6| <uses of b3>          |    |
336 //                \         /    7| LIFETIME_END b3       |    |
337 //                 \        |    +------------------------+    |
338 //                  \       |                 \                /
339 //                +------  block 5 -----+      \---------------
340 //               8| <cleanupcode>       |
341 //               9| LIFETIME_END b1, b2 |
342 //              10| return              |
343 //                +---------------------+
344 //
345 // During optimization, however, it can happen that an instruction
346 // computing an address in "b3" (for example, a loop-invariant GEP) is
347 // hoisted up out of the loop from block 4 to block 2.  [Note that
348 // this is not an actual load from the stack, only an instruction that
349 // computes the address to be loaded]. If this happens, there is now a
350 // path leading from the first use of b3 to the return instruction
351 // that does not encounter the b3 LIFETIME_END, hence b3's lifetime is
352 // now larger than if we were computing live intervals strictly based
353 // on lifetime markers. In the example above, this lengthened lifetime
354 // would mean that it would appear illegal to overlap b3 with b2.
355 //
356 // To deal with this such cases, the code in ::collectMarkers() below
357 // tries to identify "degenerate" slots -- those slots where on a single
358 // forward pass through the CFG we encounter a first reference to slot
359 // K before we hit the slot K lifetime start marker. For such slots,
360 // we fall back on using the lifetime start marker as the beginning of
361 // the variable's lifetime.  NB: with this implementation, slots can
362 // appear degenerate in cases where there is unstructured control flow:
363 //
364 //    if (q) goto mid;
365 //    if (x > 9) {
366 //         int b[100];
367 //         memcpy(&b[0], ...);
368 //    mid: b[k] = ...;
369 //         abc(&b);
370 //    }
371 //
372 // If in RPO ordering chosen to walk the CFG  we happen to visit the b[k]
373 // before visiting the memcpy block (which will contain the lifetime start
374 // for "b" then it will appear that 'b' has a degenerate lifetime.
