v3_codegen is replaced by three new passes:
* beam_kernel_to_ssa which translates the Kernel Erlang format
to a new SSA-based intermediate format.
* beam_ssa_pre_codegen which prepares the SSA-based format
for code generation, including register allocation. Registers
are allocated using the linear scan algorithm.
* beam_ssa_codegen which generates BEAM assembly code from the
SSA-based format.
It easier and more effective to optimize the SSA-based format before X
and Y registers have been assigned. The current optimization passes
constantly have to make sure no "holes" in the X register assignments
are created (that is, that no X register becomes undefined that an
allocation instruction depends on).
This commit also introduces the following optimizations:
* Replacing of tuple matching of records with the is_tagged_tuple
instruction. (Replacing beam_record.)
* Sinking of get_tuple_element instructions to just before the first
use of the extracted values. As well as potentially avoiding
extracting tuple elements when they are not actually used on all
executions paths, this optimization could also reduce the number
values that will need to be stored in Y registers. (Similar to
beam_reorder, but more effective.)
* Live optimizations, removing the definition of a variable that is
not subsequently used (provided that the operation has no side
effects), as well strength reduction of binary matching by replacing
the extraction of value from a binary with a skip instruction. (Used
to be done by beam_block, beam_utils, and v3_codegen.)
* Removal of redundant bs_restore2 instructions. (Formerly done
by beam_bs.)
* Type-based optimizations across branches. More effective than
the old beam_type pass that only did type-based optimizations in
basic blocks.
* Optimization of floating point instructions. (Formerly done
by beam_type.)
* Optimization of receive statements to introduce recv_mark and
recv_set instructions. More effective with far fewer restrictions
on what instructions are allowed between creating the reference
and entering the receive statement.
* Common subexpression elimination. (Formerly done by beam_block.)

As a preparation for replacing v3_codegen with a new code generator,
remove unsafe optimization passes. Especially the older compiler
passes have implicit assumptions about how the code is generated.
Remove the optimizations in beam_block (keep the code that creates
blocks) because they are unsafe. beam_block also calls
beam_utils:live_opt/1, which is unsafe.
Remove beam_type because it calls beam_utils:live_opt/1, and also
because it recalculates the number of heaps words and number of live
registers in allocation instructions, thus potentially hiding bugs in
other passes.
Remove beam_receive because it is unsafe.
Remove beam_record because it is the only remaining user
of beam_utils:anno_defs/1.
Remove beam_reorder because it makes much more sense to run it
as an early SSA-based optimization pass.
Remove the now unused functions in beam_utils:
anno_def/1
delete_annos/1
is_killed_block/2
live_opt/1
usage/3
Note that the following test cases will fail because of the
removed optimizations:
compile_SUITE:optimized_guards/1
compile_SUITE:bc_options/1
receive_SUITE:ref_opt/1

Correct error behavior of is_map_key/2 in guards
|
|
Consider the following functions:
foo() -> bar(not_a_map).
bar(M) when not is_map_key(a, M) -> ok;
bar(_) -> error.
What will `foo/0` return? It depends. If the module is compiled
with the default compiler options, the return value will be
`ok`. If the module is compiled with the `inline` option,
the return value will be `error`.
The correct value is `error`, because the call to `is_map_key/2`
when the second argument is not a map should fail the entire
guard. That is the way other failing guards BIFs are handled.
For example:
foo() -> bar(not_a_tuple).
bar(T) when not element(1, T) -> ok;
bar(_) -> error.
`foo/0` always returns `error` (whether the code is inlined
or not).
This bug can be fixed by changing the classification of `is_map_key/2`
in the `erl_internal` module. It is now classified as a type test,
which is incorrect because type tests should not fail. Reclassifying
it as a plain guard BIF corrects the bug.
This correction also fixes the internal consistency check
failure which was reported in:

bjorng/bjorn/compiler/letrec-side-effect-fix/ERL-658/OTP-15188
Fix side-effect optimization when compiling from Core Erlang
|
|
The compiler generates incorrect code for the following example:
decode_binary(_, <<Length, Data/binary>>) ->
case {Length, Data} of
{0, _} ->
%% When converting the match context back to a binary,
%% Data will be set to the entire original binary,
%% that is, to <<0>> instead of <<>>.
{{0, 0, 0}, Data};
{4, <<Y:16/little, M, D, Rest/binary>>} ->
{{Y, M, D}, Rest}
end.
The problem is the delayed sub binary creation optimization, which
is not safe to do in this case.
This commit introduces a heuristic that will disable the delayed
sub binary creation optimization for this example. Unfortunately, the
heuristic may turn off the optimization when it would actually be
safe. In the OTP codebase, the optimization is turned off in two
instances, once in string.erl and once in dets_v9.erl.

Eliminate double computation of next var
beam_validator: Fix false diagnostic for a receive nested in a try
|
|
When an expression is only used for its side effects, we try to
remove everything that doesn't tie into a side-effect, but we
went a bit too far when we applied the optimization to funs
defined in such a context. Consider the following:
do letrec 'f'/0 = fun () -> ... whatever ...
in call 'side':'effect'(apply 'f'/0())
'ok'
When f/0 is optimized under the assumption that its return value
is unused, side:effect/1 will be fed the result of the last
side-effecting expression in f/0 instead of its actual result.

Abort size calculation when a matched-out variable is used

Referencing a matched-out variable in a size expression makes it
impossible to calculate the size of the result based on the size of

this however, which would crash since the variable isn't defined
at the size calculation.

Code such as that the following:
Val = map_get(a, Map),
Map#{a:=z} %Could be any map update
would incorrectly cause an internal consistency check failure:
Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug.
Instruction: {put_map_exact,{f,0},{x,0},{x,0},1,{list,[{atom,a},{atom,z}]}}
Error: {bad_type,{needed,map},{actual,term}}:

argument for map_get/2 is a map.

beam_type assumed that the operand for the bs_context_to_binary
instruction must be a binary. That is not correct;
bs_context_to_binary accepts anything. Based on the incorrect
assumption, beam_type would remove other test instructions.
The bug was introduced in eee8655788d2, which was supposed
to be just a refactoring commit.

Fold is_function/1,2 during compilation
|
|
The compiler would crash when compiling code such as:
serialize(#{tag := value, id := Id, domain := Domain}) ->
[case Id of
nil ->
error(id({required, id}));
_ ->
<<10, 1:16/signed, Id:16/signed>>
end,
case Domain of
nil ->
error(id({required, domain}));
_ ->
<<8, 2:16/signed, Domain:32/signed>>
end].
The crash would look like this:
Function: serialize/1
t.erl: internal error in block2;
crash reason: {badmatch,false}
in function beam_utils:live_opt/4 (beam_utils.erl, line 861)
in call from beam_utils:live_opt/1 (beam_utils.erl, line 285)
in call from beam_block:function/2 (beam_block.erl, line 47)
in call from beam_block:'-module/2-lc$^0/1-0-'/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33)
in call from beam_block:'-module/2-lc$^0/1-0-'/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33)
in call from beam_block:module/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33)
in call from compile:block2/2 (compile.erl, line 1358)
in call from compile:'-internal_comp/5-anonymous-1-'/3 (compile.erl, line 349)
The reason for the crash is an assertion failure caused by a previous
unsafe optimization. Here is the code before the unsafe optimization:
.
.
.
{bs_init2,{f,0},7,0,0,{field_flags,[]},{x,1}}.
{bs_put_string,3,{string,[8,0,2]}}.
{bs_put_integer,{f,0},{integer,32},1,{field_flags,[signed,big]},{y,1}}.
{move,{x,1},{x,0}}.
{test_heap,4,1}.
.
.
.
beam_block:move_allocate/1 moved up the test_heap/2 instruction past the
move/2 instruction, adjusting the number of live registers at the same
time:
.
.
.
{bs_init2,{f,0},7,0,0,{field_flags,[]},{x,1}}.
%% Only x1 is live now.
{bs_put_string,3,{string,[8,0,2]}}.
{bs_put_integer,{f,0},{integer,32},1,{field_flags,[signed,big]},{y,1}}.
{test_heap,4,2}. %Unsafe. x0 is dead.
{move,{x,1},{x,0}}.
.
.
.
This optimization is unsafe because the bs_init2 instruction killed
x0.
The bug is in beam_utils:anno_defs/1, which adds annotations indicating
the registers that are defined at the beginning of each block. The
annotation before the move/2 instruction incorrectly indicated that
x0 was live.

This can often appear in code after inlining some higher-order
functions.
* mark is_function/2 as pure
* track function types in sys_core_fold
* use those types to eval is_function/1,2 at compile-time when possible
|
|
sys_core_fold could do unsafe transformations on the
code from the old inliner (invoked using the compiler
option `{inline,[{F/A}]}` to request inlining of specific
functions).
To explain the bug, let's first look at an example that
sys_core_fold handles correctly. Consider this code:
'foo'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = Arg2
in let <A,B> = <B,Arg1>
in {A,B}
In this example, the lets can be completely eliminated,
since the arguments for the lets are variables (as opposed
to expressions). Since the variable B is rebound in the
inner let, `sys_core_fold` must take special care when
doing the substitutions.
Here is the correct result:
'foo'/2 =
fun (Arg1, Arg2) ->
{Arg2,Arg1}
Consider a slight modifictation of the example:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg2]
in let <A,B> = <B,[Arg1]>
in {A,B}
Here some of the arguments for the lets are expressions, so
the lets must be kept. sys_core_fold does not handle this
example correctly:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg2]
in let <B> = [Arg1]
in {B,B}
In the inner let, the variable A has been eliminated and
replaced with the variable B in the body (the first B in
the tuple). Since the B in the outer let is never used,
the outer let will be eliminated, giving:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg1]
in {B,B}
To handle this example correctly, sys_core_fold must
rename the variable B in the inner let like this to
avoid capturing B:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg2]
in let <NewName> = [Arg1]
in {B,NewName}
(Note: The `v3_kernel` pass alreday handles those examples correctly
in case `sys_core_fold` has been disabled.)

Introduce is_map_key/2 guard BIF
OTP-15037
|
|
This complements the `map_get/2` guard BIF introduced in #1784.
Rationale.
`map_get/2` allows accessing map fields in guards, but it might be
problematic in more complex guard expressions, for example:
foo(X) when map_get(a, X) =:= 1 or is_list(X) -> ...
The `is_list/1` part of the guard could never succeed since the
`map_get/2` guard would fail the whole guard expression. In this
situation, this could be solved by using `;` instead of `or` to separate
the guards, but it is not possible in every case.
To solve this situation, this PR proposes a `is_map_key/2` guard that
allows to check if a map has key inside a guard before trying to access
that key. When combined with `is_map/1` this allows to construct a
purely boolean guard expression testing a value of a key in a map.
Implementation.
Given the use case motivating the introduction of this function, the PR
contains compiler optimisations that produce optimial code for the
following guard expression:
foo(X) when is_map(X) and is_map_key(a, X) and map_get(a, X) =:= 1 -> ok;
foo(_) -> error.
Given all three tests share the failure label, the `is_map_key/2` and
`is_map/2` tests are optimised away.
As with `map_get/2` the `is_map_key/2` BIF is allowed in match specs.

* 'map-get-bif' of git://github.com/michalmuskala/otp:
Introduce map_get guard-safe function
OTP-15037
|
|
Rationale
Today all compound data types except for maps can be deconstructed in guards.
For tuples we have `element/2` and for lists `hd/1` and `tl/1`. Maps are
completely opaque to guards. This means matching on maps can't be
abstracted into macros, which is often done with repetitive guards. It
also means that maps have to be always selected whole from ETS tables,
even when only one field would be enough, which creates a potential
efficiency issue.
This PR introduces an `erlang:map_get/2` guard-safe function that allows
extracting a map field in guard. An alternative to this function would be
to introduce the syntax for extracting a value from a map that was planned
in the original EEP: `Map#{Key}`.
Even outside of guards, since this function is a guard-BIF it is more
efficient than using `maps:get/2` (since it does not need to set up the
stack), and more convenient from pattern matching on the map (compare:
`#{key := Value} = Map, Value` to `map_get(key, Map)`).
Performance considerations
A common concern against adding this function is the notion that "guards
have to be fast" and ideally execute in constant time. While there are
some counterexamples (`length/1`), what is more important is the fact
that adding those functions does not change in any way the time
complexity of pattern matching - it's already possible to match on map
fields today directly in patterns - adding this ability to guards will
niether slow down or speed up the execution, it will only make certain
programs more convenient to write.
This first version is very naive and does not perform any optimizations.
|
|
Keys in map patterns are input variables, not pattern variables.
|
|
Waiting messages for a process may be stored in a queue
outside of any heap or heap fragment belonging to the process.
This is an optimization added in a recent major release to
avoid garbage collection messages again and again if there
is a long message queue.
Until such message has been matched and accepted by
the remove_message/0 instruction, the message must not be
included in the root set for a garbage collection, as that
would corrupt the message. The loop_rec/2 instruction explicitly
turns off garbage collection of the process as long messages
are being matched.
However, if the compiler were to put references to a message
outside of the heap in an Y register (on the stack) and there
happened to be a GC when the process had been scheduled out,
the message would be corrupted and the runtime system would
crash sooner or later.
To ensure that doesn't happen, teach beam_validator to check
for references on the stack to messages outside of the heap.

beam_record would make an unsafe optimization for the
not_used_p/4 function added to beam_utils_SUITE in this
commit. The bug is in beam_utils, which would falsely
report that {x,4} was unused when it in fact was used.
The bug was in the function not_used/1. The purpose of
not_used/1 is to return a 'not_used' result unless the
actual result is 'used'. Unfortunately it was not
implemented in that way. It would let a 'transparent'
result slip through, which the caller in this case would
convert to 'killed' (because the register was killed on
all other paths).
