Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

Remove an unnecessary `MDNode::replaceAllUsesWith()`. In the preceding
line, `TheLoop->setLoopID()` visits all backedges and sets the new loop
ID. This sufficiently updates the loop metadata.

This reverts commit r222632 (and follow-up r222636), which caused a host
of LNT failures on an internal bot. I'll respond to the commit on the
list with a reproduction of one of the failures.

Introduced new target-independent intrinsics in order to support masked vector loads and stores. The loop vectorizer optimizes loops containing conditional memory accesses by generating these intrinsics for existing targets AVX2 and AVX-512. The vectorizer asks the target about availability of masked vector loads and stores.
Added SDNodes for masked operations and lowering patterns for X86 code generator.
Examples:
<16 x i32> @llvm.masked.load.v16i32(i8* %addr, <16 x i32> %passthru, i32 4 /* align */, <16 x i1> %mask)
declare void @llvm.masked.store.v8f64(i8* %addr, <8 x double> %value, i32 4, <8 x i1> %mask)
Scalarizer for other targets (not AVX2/AVX-512) will be done in a separate patch.

This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.
This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...

Hide the fact that `MDString`'s string is stored in `Value::Name` --
that's going to change soon. Update the only in-tree client that was
using it instead of `Value::getString()`.

Instead, we're going to separate metadata from the Value hierarchy. See

A few minor changes to prevent @llvm.assume from interfering with loop
vectorization. First, treat @llvm.assume like the lifetime intrinsics, which
are scalarized (but don't otherwise interfere with the legality checking).
Second, ignore the cost of ephemeral instructions in the loop (these will go
away anyway during CodeGen).
Alignment assumptions and other uses of @llvm.assume can often end up inside of
loops that should be vectorized (this is not uncommon for assumptions generated
by __attribute__((align_value(n))), for example).

getSmallConstantTripCount even when it isn't the exiting block.
I missed this in my first audit, very sorry. This was found in LNT and
elsewhere. I don't have a test case, but it was completely obvious from
inspection that this was the problem. I'll see if I can reduce a test
case, but I'm not really hopeful, and the value seems quite low.

routines and fix all of the bugs they expose.
I hit a test case that crashed even without these asserts due to passing
a non-exiting latch to the ExitingBlock parameter of the trip count
computation machinery. However, when I add the nice asserts, it turns
out we have plenty of coverage of these bugs, they just didn't manifest
in crashers.
The core problem seems to stem from an assumption that the latch *is*
the exiting block. While this is often true, and somewhat the "normal"
way to think about loops, it isn't necessarily true. The correct way to
call the trip count routines in a *generic* fashion (that is, without
a particular exit in mind) is to just use the loop's single exiting
block if it has one. The trip count can't be computed generically unless
it does. This works great for the loop vectorizer. The loop unroller
actually *wants* to select the latch when it has to chose between
multiple exits because for unrolling it is the latch trips that matter.
But if this is the desire, it needs to explicitly guard for non-exiting
latches and check for the generic trip count in that case.
I've added the asserts, and added convenience APIs for querying the trip
count generically that check for a single exit block. I've kept the APIs
consistent between computing trip count and trip multiples.
Thansk to Mark for the help debugging and tracking down the *right* fix
here!

"Unroll" is not the appropriate name for this variable. Clang already uses
the term "interleave" in pragmas and metadata for this.

Adding 'IR' to the names in an attempt to be less ambiguous about the flags we're dealing with here.
The 'and' method is needed by the SLPVectorizer (PR20802) and possibly other passes.
llvm-svn: 217004
The loop vectorizer preserves wrapping, exact, and fast-math properties of scalar instructions.
This patch adds a convenience method to make that operation easier because we need to do this
in the loop vectorizer, SLP vectorizer, and possibly other places.
Although this is a 'no functional change' patch, I've added a testcase to verify that the exact
flag is preserved by the loop vectorizer. The wrapping and fast-math flags are already checked
in existing testcases.
