* bjorn/compiler/interim-tuple-bug/OTP-15501/ERL-807:
Remove unsafe optimization for delaying creation of stackframe
|
|
b89044a800c4 introduced an optimization that tries to delay creation
of stack frames. It turns out that this optimization is not always
safe. (See the new test case for an example.)
Since the code generator is completely rewritten in the `master`
branch for the upcoming OTP 22 release, it does not make sense trying
to mend this optimization. It is better to remove it. Out of a sample
of about 1000 modules in OTP, about 50 of them are changed as a result
of removing this optimization.
The compiler in OTP 22 will do the same optimization in a cleaner,
safer, and more effective way.

Before OTP 22, the option `{nowarn_deprecated_function,MFAs}` was only
recognized when given in the file with the attribute
`-compile()`. (The option `{nowarn_unused_function,FAs}`
was incorrectly documented to only work in a file, but it also
worked when given in the option list.) Starting from OTP 22, all
options that can be given in the file can also be given in the option
list.

Fix unsafe optimization of stack trace building
|
|
beam_ssa_pre_codegen: Fix an internal consistency failure
|
|
The `sys_core_fold` pass of the compiler would optimize
away the building of the stacktrace in code such as:
try
...
catch
C:R:Stk ->
erlang:raise(C, {R,Stk}, Stk)
end
That optimization is unsafe and would cause a crash in a later compiler
pass.
|
|
The following function:
is_two_tuple(Arg) ->
case is_tuple(Arg) of
false -> false;
true -> tuple_size(Arg) == 2
end.
would cause an internal consistency failure:
Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug.
Instruction: {bif,tuple_size,{f,0},[{x,0}],{z,0}}
Error: {invalid_store,{z,0},{integer,[]}}:

Be more careful when updating types so that fragility is not lost.

The previous optimizations caused some code in beam_jump to
become uncovered. Add tests to cover more code. Also remove
a clause in beam_jump:opt/3 that does not seem possible to
cover anymore (this is safe, because the clause was an
optimization).
|
|
Eliminate a jump to a return sequence, replacing the jump with
the return sequence. This optimization always save execution time
and may also save code space.
|
|
181cfc4ef9d1 stopping used #st.index.
|
|
Some lines in beam_peep were no longer covered when the sharing optimization
was added to beam_ssa_opt. Also remove some code from beam_peep that no
longer seems possible to cover.
|
|
Share code for semantically equivalent blocks referred to to by `br`
and `switch` instructions.
A similar optimization is done in `beam_jump`, but doing it here as
well is beneficial as it may enable other optimizations. Also, if
there are many semantically equivalent clauses, this optimization can
substanstially decrease compilation times.

Sort sequences of `move` instructions on the Y register.
When moving from X registers to Y registers, having the instructions
sorted on Y registers give the loader more opportunities to use
`move_window{3,4,5}` instructions. For examples, the following five
instructions:
move_xy x(2) y(0)
move_xy x(1) y(1)
move_xy x(0) y(2)
move_xy x(5) y(3)
move_xy x(4) y(4)
can be replaced with:
move_window5_xxxxxy x(2) x(1) x(0) x(5) x(4) y(0)
When the Y registers are not ordered so that `move_window5` can be
used, the loader would typically combine the first three moves to a
`move3_xyxyxy` instruction and the last two moves to a
`move2_par_xyxy` instruction.
When moving from Y registers to X registers, sorting on the Y
registers could potentially be more cache-friendly. It could also
be worthwhile investigating a new `move_window` instruction in
the BEAM interpreter that could move values from contiguous Y registers
to X registers.
Note that `scripts/diffable` can generate diffable dissambly files for
the loaded BEAM code:
$ scripts/diffable --dis 0
$ scripts/diffable --dis 1
$ diff -u 0 1
|
|
There could be an internal consistency failure when using is_function/2,
because an optimization did not take into account that is_function/2 can fail.
https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-778
|
|
Enhance the copy_retval/1 optimization to allow Y registers to be
reused in more circumstances. Reusing Y register can often reduce
the size of the stack frame.
|
|
There could be `allocate_zero` instructions where `allocate` would
suffice or superfluous `init` instructions because all possible
initializations of Y registers were not taken into account.
While at it, also add some more comments.
|
|
The `get_map_element` instruction has no side effects, and should be
removed if its value is not used.

`beam_ssa_dead` can waste a lot of time trying to optimize
an unoptimizable `switch` instruction.
By being a little bit smarter when optimizing `switch` instructions,
the runtime for the beam_ssa_dead pass was reduced approximately by
half on my computer for this module:

The linear scan algorithm keeps unhandled intervals in two separate
lists: one for intervals with reserved registers and one for intervals
without reserved registers. When collecting the available free registers
all unhandled intervals with reserved registers must be checked for
overlap.
Unhandled intervals that had a preferred register were put into the
list of intervals with reserved registers, leading to a lot of
unecessary overlap checking if there were many intervals with
preferred registers. Changing the partition code to put intervals with
preferred registers into the general list of unhandled intervals will
reduce the compilation time if there are many preferred registers.
On my computer, this change reduced the time of the linear scan pass
from about 20 seconds down to about 0.5 seconds for this module:

The type analysis pass (`beam_ssa_type`) keeps the type information
for all variables that are in scope. For huge functions, the
`join_types/2` function could get really slow when joining two
maps with thousands of variables in each.
Use a conservative approach to discard type information for
variables only used once by a `br` or `switch` in the same
block as the variable is defined in.
This approach reduces the runtime for the `beam_ssa_type` pass
from a few minutes down to few seconds for this module:
https://github.com/aggelgian/cuter/blob/master/src/cuter_binlib.erl
Rejected approach: Calculate liveness information for all variables
and discard type information for any variable that would not be
used again. That turned out to not work because some optimizations
would invalidate the liveness (in particular, substitutions could
lengthen the lifetime for a variable). Trying to update the
liveness information when doing the optimizations would be tricky.

Also rename a few functions in attempt to make it clearer.

Recognize more safe labels to enable stack trimming in more
circumstances.

Remove the now unused beam_utils:is_not_used/3 and
beam_utils:is_killed/3 functions and friends.
Starting out as simple functions a long time ago, those functions have
grown and grown to support more optimizations. The number of bugs
found and fixed in beam_utils has also grown over time.
|
|
Eliminate the use of beam_utils:is_not_used/3 by implementing a simple
is_not_used() function in beam_trim itself. The new version actually
makes trimming possible in more circumstances, because
beam_utils:is_not_used/3 was too conservative for the purpose of stack
trimming (it was previously used for optimizations where it was
necessary to be more conservative).
Alternatives considered: I tried to implement stack trimming in
beam_ssa_codegen but it turned out to be a total mess. Not
surprisingly, it turns out that an optimization that renumbers
Y registers is hard to do on an intermediate representation that
still use variables instead of BEAM registers.
|
|
Prior to this commit, the optimizations using beam_utils:is_killed/3
were only executed a few times in the entire compiler test suite.
|
|
This will help investigation of compiler bugs.
