1Target Independent Opportunities: 2 3//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 4 5We should recognized various "overflow detection" idioms and translate them into 6llvm.uadd.with.overflow and similar intrinsics. Here is a multiply idiom: 7 8unsigned int mul(unsigned int a,unsigned int b) { 9 if ((unsigned long long)a*b>0xffffffff) 10 exit(0); 11 return a*b; 12} 13 14The legalization code for mul-with-overflow needs to be made more robust before 15this can be implemented though. 16 17//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 18 19Get the C front-end to expand hypot(x,y) -> llvm.sqrt(x*x+y*y) when errno and 20precision don't matter (ffastmath). Misc/mandel will like this. :) This isn't 21safe in general, even on darwin. See the libm implementation of hypot for 22examples (which special case when x/y are exactly zero to get signed zeros etc 23right). 24 25//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 26 27On targets with expensive 64-bit multiply, we could LSR this: 28 29for (i = ...; ++i) { 30 x = 1ULL << i; 31 32into: 33 long long tmp = 1; 34 for (i = ...; ++i, tmp+=tmp) 35 x = tmp; 36 37This would be a win on ppc32, but not x86 or ppc64. 38 39//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 40 41Shrink: (setlt (loadi32 P), 0) -> (setlt (loadi8 Phi), 0) 42 43//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 44 45Reassociate should turn things like: 46 47int factorial(int X) { 48 return X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X; 49} 50 51into llvm.powi calls, allowing the code generator to produce balanced 52multiplication trees. 53 54First, the intrinsic needs to be extended to support integers, and second the 55code generator needs to be enhanced to lower these to multiplication trees. 56 57//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 58 59Interesting? testcase for add/shift/mul reassoc: 60 61int bar(int x, int y) { 62 return x*x*x+y+x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y; 63} 64int foo(int z, int n) { 65 return bar(z, n) + bar(2*z, 2*n); 66} 67 68This is blocked on not handling X*X*X -> powi(X, 3) (see note above). The issue 69is that we end up getting t = 2*X s = t*t and don't turn this into 4*X*X, 70which is the same number of multiplies and is canonical, because the 2*X has 71multiple uses. Here's a simple example: 72 73define i32 @test15(i32 %X1) { 74 %B = mul i32 %X1, 47 ; X1*47 75 %C = mul i32 %B, %B 76 ret i32 %C 77} 78 79 80//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 81 82Reassociate should handle the example in GCC PR16157: 83 84extern int a0, a1, a2, a3, a4; extern int b0, b1, b2, b3, b4; 85void f () { /* this can be optimized to four additions... */ 86 b4 = a4 + a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 87 b3 = a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 88 b2 = a2 + a1 + a0; 89 b1 = a1 + a0; 90} 91 92This requires reassociating to forms of expressions that are already available, 93something that reassoc doesn't think about yet. 94 95 96//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 97 98This function: (derived from GCC PR19988) 99double foo(double x, double y) { 100 return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x + -0.1234 * y)); 101} 102 103compiles to: 104_foo: 105 movapd %xmm1, %xmm2 106 mulsd LCPI1_1(%rip), %xmm1 107 mulsd LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm2 108 addsd %xmm0, %xmm1 109 addsd %xmm0, %xmm2 110 movapd %xmm1, %xmm0 111 mulsd %xmm2, %xmm0 112 ret 113 114Reassociate should be able to turn it into: 115 116double foo(double x, double y) { 117 return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x - 0.1234 * y)); 118} 119 120Which allows the multiply by constant to be CSE'd, producing: 121 122_foo: 123 mulsd LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm1 124 movapd %xmm1, %xmm2 125 addsd %xmm0, %xmm2 126 subsd %xmm1, %xmm0 127 mulsd %xmm2, %xmm0 128 ret 129 130This doesn't need -ffast-math support at all. This is particularly bad because 131the llvm-gcc frontend is canonicalizing the later into the former, but clang 132doesn't have this problem. 133 134//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 135 136These two functions should generate the same code on big-endian systems: 137 138int g(int *j,int *l) { return memcmp(j,l,4); } 139int h(int *j, int *l) { return *j - *l; } 140 141this could be done in SelectionDAGISel.cpp, along with other special cases, 142for 1,2,4,8 bytes. 143 144//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 145 146It would be nice to revert this patch: 147http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20060213/031986.html 148 149And teach the dag combiner enough to simplify the code expanded before 150legalize. It seems plausible that this knowledge would let it simplify other 151stuff too. 152 153//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 154 155For vector types, TargetData.cpp::getTypeInfo() returns alignment that is equal 156to the type size. It works but can be overly conservative as the alignment of 157specific vector types are target dependent. 158 159//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 160 161We should produce an unaligned load from code like this: 162 163v4sf example(float *P) { 164 return (v4sf){P[0], P[1], P[2], P[3] }; 165} 166 167//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 168 169Add support for conditional increments, and other related patterns.

See also: 195http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17687 196 197This is now easily doable with MRVs. We could even make an intrinsic for this 198if anyone cared enough about sincos. 199 200//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 201 202quantum_sigma_x in 462.libquantum contains the following loop: 203 204 for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++) 205 { 206 /* Flip the target bit of each basis state */ 207 reg->node[i].state ^= ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target); 208 } 209 210Where MAX_UNSIGNED/state is a 64-bit int. On a 32-bit platform it would be just 211so cool to turn it into something like: 212 213 long long Res = ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target); 214 if (target < 32) { 215 for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++) 216 reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFFULL; 217 } else { 218 for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++) 219 reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000ULL 220 } 221 222... which would only do one 32-bit XOR per loop iteration instead of two. 223 224It would also be nice to recognize the reg->size doesn't alias reg->node[i], but 225this requires TBAA. 226 227//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 228 229This isn't recognized as bswap by instcombine (yes, it really is bswap): 230 231unsigned long reverse(unsigned v) { 232 unsigned t; 233 t = v ^ ((v << 16) | (v >> 16)); 234 t &= ~0xff0000; 235 v = (v << 24) | (v >> 8); 236 return v ^ (t >> 8); 237} 238 239//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 240 241[LOOP DELETION] 242 243We don't delete this output free loop, because trip count analysis doesn't 244realize that it is finite (if it were infinite, it would be undefined).

Whatever is producing this should probably 1348be fixed to leave this as a memcpy from a string. 1349 1350Further, eon also has an interesting partially redundant strlen call: 1351 1352bb8: ; preds = %_ZN18eonImageCalculatorC1Ev.exit 1353 %682 = getelementptr i8** %argv, i32 6 ; <i8**> [#uses=2] 1354 %683 = load i8** %682, align 4 ; <i8*> [#uses=4] 1355 %684 = load i8* %683, align 1 ; <i8> [#uses=1] 1356 %685 = icmp eq i8 %684, 0 ; <i1> [#uses=1] 1357 br i1 %685, label %bb10, label %bb9 1358 1359bb9: ; preds = %bb8 1360 %686 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly 1361 %687 = icmp ugt i32 %686, 254 ; <i1> [#uses=1] 1362 br i1 %687, label %bb10, label %bb11 1363 1364bb10: ; preds = %bb9, %bb8 1365 %688 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly 1366 1367This could be eliminated by doing the strlen once in bb8, saving code size and 1368improving perf on the bb8->9->10 path. 1369 1370//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 1371 1372I see an interesting fully redundant call to strlen left in 186.crafty:InputMove 1373which looks like: 1374 %movetext11 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 0 1375 1376 1377bb62: ; preds = %bb55, %bb53 1378 %promote.0 = phi i32 [ %169, %bb55 ], [ 0, %bb53 ] 1379 %171 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1 1380 %172 = add i32 %171, -1 ; <i32> [#uses=1] 1381 %173 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 %172 1382 1383... no stores ... 1384 br i1 %or.cond, label %bb65, label %bb72 1385 1386bb65: ; preds = %bb62 1387 store i8 0, i8* %173, align 1 1388 br label %bb72 1389 1390bb72: ; preds = %bb65, %bb62 1391 %trank.1 = phi i32 [ %176, %bb65 ], [ -1, %bb62 ] 1392 %177 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1 1393 1394Note that on the bb62->bb72 path, that the %177 strlen call is partially 1395redundant with the %171 call. At worst, we could shove the %177 strlen call 1396up into the bb65 block moving it out of the bb62->bb72 path. However, note 1397that bb65 stores to the string, zeroing out the last byte. This means that on 1398that path the value of %177 is actually just %171-1. A sub is cheaper than a 1399strlen! 1400 1401This pattern repeats several times, basically doing: 1402 1403 A = strlen(P); 1404 P[A-1] = 0; 1405 B = strlen(P); 1406 where it is "obvious" that B = A-1. 1407 1408//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 1409 1410186.crafty has this interesting pattern with the "out.4543" variable: 1411 1412call void @llvm.memcpy.i32( 1413 i8* getelementptr ([10 x i8]* @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0), 1414 i8* getelementptr ([7 x i8]* @"\01LC28700", i32 0, i32 0), i32 7, i32 1) 1415%101 = call@printf(i8* ... @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0)) nounwind 1416 1417It is basically doing: 1418 1419 memcpy(globalarray, "string"); 1420 printf(..., globalarray); 1421 1422Anyway, by knowing that printf just reads the memory and forward substituting 1423the string directly into the printf, this eliminates reads from globalarray. 1424Since this pattern occurs frequently in crafty (due to the "DisplayTime" and 1425other similar functions) there are many stores to "out".

For example, by the above rules, we can't transform 2136fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0) into 0.0, because x might be -1 and the result of the 2137expression is defined to be -0.0. 2138 2139If we look at the uses of the fmul for example, we might be able to prove that 2140all uses don't care about the sign of zero. For example, if we have: 2141 2142 fadd(fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0), 2.0) 2143 2144Since we know that x+2.0 doesn't care about the sign of any zeros in X, we can 2145transform the fmul to 0.0, and then the fadd to 2.0. 2146 2147//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 2148 2149We should enhance memcpy/memcpy/memset to allow a metadata node on them 2150indicating that some bytes of the transfer are undefined.

Consider something like this: 2153 2154struct x { 2155 char a; 2156 int b[4]; 2157}; 2158void foo(struct x*P); 2159struct x testfunc() { 2160 struct x V1, V2; 2161 foo(&V1); 2162 V2 = V1; 2163 2164 return V2; 2165} 2166 2167We currently compile this to: 2168$ clang t.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | opt -scalarrepl -S 2169 2170 2171%struct.x = type { i8, [4 x i32] } 2172 2173define void @testfunc(%struct.x* sret %agg.result) nounwind ssp { 2174entry: 2175 %V1 = alloca %struct.x, align 4 2176 call void @foo(%struct.x* %V1) 2177 %tmp1 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i8* 2178 %0 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i160* 2179 %srcval1 = load i160* %0, align 4 2180 %tmp2 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i8* 2181 %1 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i160* 2182 store i160 %srcval1, i160* %1, align 4 2183 ret void 2184} 2185 2186This happens because SRoA sees that the temp alloca has is being memcpy'd into 2187and out of and it has holes and it has to be conservative. If we knew about the 2188holes, then this could be much much better. 2189 2190Having information about these holes would also improve memcpy (etc) lowering at 2191llc time when it gets inlined, because we can use smaller transfers. This also 2192avoids partial register stalls in some important cases. 2193 2194//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 2195 2196We don't fold (icmp (add) (add)) unless the two adds only have a single use. 2197There are a lot of cases that we're refusing to fold in (e.g.) 256.bzip2, for 2198example: 2199 2200 %indvar.next90 = add i64 %indvar89, 1 ;; Has 2 uses 2201 %tmp96 = add i64 %tmp95, 1 ;; Has 1 use 2202 %exitcond97 = icmp eq i64 %indvar.next90, %tmp96 2203 2204We don't fold this because we don't want to introduce an overlapped live range 2205of the ivar. However if we can make this more aggressive without causing 2206performance issues in two ways: 2207 22081. If *either* the LHS or RHS has a single use, we can definitely do the 2209 transformation. In the overlapping liverange case we're trading one register 2210 use for one fewer operation, which is a reasonable trade. Before doing this 2211 we should verify that the llc output actually shrinks for some benchmarks. 22122. If both ops have multiple uses, we can still fold it if the operations are 2213 both sinkable to *after* the icmp (e.g. in a subsequent block) which doesn't 2214 increase register pressure. 2215 2216There are a ton of icmp's we aren't simplifying because of the reg pressure 2217concern. Care is warranted here though because many of these are induction 2218variables and other cases that matter a lot to performance, like the above. 2219Here's a blob of code that you can drop into the bottom of visitICmp to see some 2220missed cases: 2221 2222 { Value *A, *B, *C, *D; 2223 if (match(Op0, m_Add(m_Value(A), m_Value(B))) && 2224 match(Op1, m_Add(m_Value(C), m_Value(D))) && 2225 (A == C || A == D || B == C || B == D)) { 2226 errs() << "OP0 = " << *Op0 << " U=" << Op0->getNumUses() << "\n"; 2227 errs() << "OP1 = " << *Op1 << " U=" << Op1->getNumUses() << "\n"; 2228 errs() << "CMP = " << I << "\n\n"; 2229 } 2230 } 2231 2232//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 2233 2234define i1 @test1(i32 %x) nounwind { 2235 %and = and i32 %x, 3 2236 %cmp = icmp ult i32 %and, 2 2237 ret i1 %cmp 2238} 2239 2240Can be folded to (x & 2) == 0. 2241 2242define i1 @test2(i32 %x) nounwind { 2243 %and = and i32 %x, 3 2244 %cmp = icmp ugt i32 %and, 1 2245 ret i1 %cmp 2246} 2247 2248Can be folded to (x & 2) != 0. 2249 2250SimplifyDemandedBits shrinks the "and" constant to 2 but instcombine misses the 2251icmp transform. 2252 2253//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 2254 2255This code: 2256 2257typedef struct { 2258int f1:1; 2259int f2:1; 2260int f3:1; 2261int f4:29; 2262} t1; 2263 2264typedef struct { 2265int f1:1; 2266int f2:1; 2267int f3:30; 2268} t2; 2269 2270t1 s1; 2271t2 s2; 2272 2273void func1(void) 2274{ 2275s1.f1 = s2.f1; 2276s1.f2 = s2.f2; 2277} 2278 2279Compiles into this IR (on x86-64 at least): 2280 2281%struct.t1 = type { i8, [3 x i8] } 2282@s2 = global %struct.t1 zeroinitializer, align 4 2283@s1 = global %struct.t1 zeroinitializer, align 4 2284define void @func1() nounwind ssp noredzone { 2285entry: 2286 %0 = load i32* bitcast (%struct.t1* @s2 to i32*), align 4 2287 %bf.val.sext5 = and i32 %0, 1 2288 %1 = load i32* bitcast (%struct.t1* @s1 to i32*), align 4 2289 %2 = and i32 %1, -4 2290 %3 = or i32 %2, %bf.val.sext5 2291 %bf.val.sext26 = and i32 %0, 2 2292 %4 = or i32 %3, %bf.val.sext26 2293 store i32 %4, i32* bitcast (%struct.t1* @s1 to i32*), align 4 2294 ret void 2295} 2296 2297The two or/and's should be merged into one each. 2298 2299//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 2300 2301Machine level code hoisting can be useful in some cases.
