2017-03-16hipe_spillmin_color: cleanup exit callsMagnus Lång
2017-03-16hipe_spillmin_color: Move coalescingMagnus Lång
2017-03-16hipe: Add pseudo_spill_f?move instructionsMagnus Lång
These pseudo instructions are added to all backends and allow spill slot to spill slot move coalescing in a clean way. They have regular move semantics, but contain an additional scratch register to be used if both source and destination are spilled, and can not be move coalesced. Additionally, a register allocator callback Target:is_spill_move(Instr, Context) is added which allows the spill slot allocators to check for these instructions and try to coalesce the spill slots the two temporaries are allocated to.
2017-03-16hipe: Add range splitter range_splitMagnus Lång
hipe_range_split is a complex live range splitter, more sophisticated thatn hipe_restore_reuse, but still targeted specifically at temporaries forced onto stack by being live over call instructions. hipe_range_split partitions the control flow graph at call instructions, like hipe_regalloc_prepass. Splitting decisions are made on a per partition and per temporary basis. There are three different ways in which hipe_range_split may choose to split a temporary in a program partition: * Mode1: Spill the temp before calls, and restore it after them * Mode2: Spill the temp after definitions, restore it after calls * Mode3: Spill the temp after definitions, restore it before uses To pick which of these should be used for each temp×partiton pair, hipe_range_split uses a cost function. The cost is simply the sum of the cost of all expected stack accesses, and the cost for an individual stack access is based on the probability weight of the basic block that it resides in. This biases the range splitter so that it attempts moving stack accesses from a functions hot path to the cold path. hipe_bb_weights is used to compute the probability weights. mode3 is effectively the same as what hipe_restore_reuse does. Because of this, hipe_restore_reuse reuses the analysis pass of hipe_restore_reuse in order to compute the minimal needed set of spills and restores. The reason mode3 was introduced to hipe_range_split rather than simply composing it with hipe_restore_reuse (by running both) is that such a composition resulted in poor register allocation results due to insufficiently strong move coalescing in the register allocator. The cost function heuristic has a couple of tuning knobs: * {range_split_min_gain, Gain} (default: 1.1, range: [0.0, inf)) The minimum proportional improvement that the cost of all stack accesses to a temp must display in order for that temp to be split. * {range_split_mode1_fudge, Factor} (default: 1.1, range: [0.0, inf)) Costs for mode1 are multiplied by this factor in order to discourage it when it provides marginal benefits. The justification is that mode1 causes temps to be live for longest, thus leading to higher register pressure. * {range_split_weight_power, Factor} (default: 2, range: (0.0, inf)) Adjusts how much effect the basic block weights have on the cost of a stack access. A stack access in a block with weight 1.0 has cost 1.0, a stack access in a block with weight 0.01 has cost 1/Factor. Additionally, the option range_split_weights chooses whether the basic block weights are used at all. In the case that the input is very big, hipe_range_split automatically falls back to hipe_restore_reuse only in order to keep compile times under control. Note that this is not only because of hipe_range_split being slow, but also due to the resulting program being slow to register allocate, and is not as partitionable by hipe_regalloc_prepass. hipe_restore_reuse, on the other hand, does not affect the programs partitionability. The hipe_range_split pass is controlled by a new option ra_range_split. ra_range_split is added to o2, and ra_restore_reuse is disabled in o2.
2017-03-16hipe: Add module computing basic blocks weightsMagnus Lång
hipe_bb_weights computes basic block weights by using the branch probability predictions as the coefficients in a linear equation system. This linear equation system is then solved using Gauss-Jordan Elimination. The equation system representation is picked to be efficient with highly sparse data. During triangelisation, the remaining equations are dynamically reordered in order to prevent the equations from growing in the common case, preserving the benefit of the sparse equation representation. In the case that the input is very big, hipe_bb_weights automatically falls back to a rough approximation in order to keep compile times under control.
2017-03-16hipe: Add branch prediction accessor ra callbacksMagnus Lång
Adds a new register allocator callback Target:branch_preds(Instr, Context) which, for a control flow instruction Instr, returns a list of tuples {Target, Probability} for each label name Target that Instr may branch to. Probability is a float between 0.0 and 1.0 and corresponds to the predicted probability that control flow branches to the corresponding target. The probabilities may sum to at most 1.0 (rounding errors aside). Note that a sum less than 1.0 is valid.
2017-03-16hipe: Add range splitter restore_reuseMagnus Lång
hipe_restore_reuse is a simplistic range splitter that splits temps that are forced onto the stack by being live over call instructions. In particular, it attempts to avoid cases where there are several accesses to such stack allocated temps in straight-line code, uninterrupted by any calls. In order to achieve this it splits temps between just before the first access(es) and just after the last access(es) in such straight-line code groups. The hipe_restore_reuse pass is controlled by a new option ra_restore_reuse. ra_restore_reuse is added to o1.
2017-03-16hipe: Add basic range splitting ra callbacksMagnus Lång
In addition to the temporary name rewriting that hipe_regalloc_prepass does, range splitters also need to be able to insert move instructions, as well as inserting new basic blocks in the control flow graph. The following four callbacks are added for that purpose: * Target:mk_move(Src, Dst, Context) Returns a move instruction from the temporary (not just register number) Src to Dst. * Target:mk_goto(Label, Context) Returns a unconditional control flow instruction that branches to the label with name Label. * Target:redirect_jmp(Instr, ToOld, ToNew, Context) Modifies the control flow instruction Instr so that any control flow that would go to a label with name ToOld instead goes to the label with name ToNew. * Target:new_label(Context) Returns a fresh label name that does not belong to any existing block in the current function, and is to be used to create a new basic block in the control flow graph by calling Target:update_bb/4 with this new name.
2017-03-16hipe: Add basic_edge_cases test caseMagnus Lång
Two tests are added, primarily aimed at the range splitters. * test_float_spills, which exercises the rare case of high floating point register pressure, including spill slot move coalescing. * test_infinite_loops, which tests that various infinite loops are properly compiled and do contain reduction tests (otherwise they would permanently hog their scheduler and not notice being sent an exit signal).

2017-03-13beam_type: Avoid an internal consistency check failureBjörn Gustavsson
Code such as the following: -record(x, {a}). f(R, N0) -> N = N0 / 100, if element(1, R#x.a) =:= 0 -> N end. would fail to compile with the following message: m: function f/2+19: Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug. Instruction: {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}} Error: {uninitialized_reg,{fr,0}}: This bug was introduced in 348b5e6bee2f. Basically, the beam_type pass placed the fmove instruction in the wrong place. Instructions that store to floating point registers and instructions that read from floating point registers are supposed to be in the same basic block. Fix the problem by flushing all floating points instruction before a call the pseudo-BIF is_record/3, thus making sure that the fmove instruction is placed in the correct block. Here is an annotated listing of the relevant part of the .S file (before the fix): {test_heap,{alloc,[{words,0},{floats,1}]},2}. {fconv,{x,1},{fr,0}}. {fmove,{float,100.0},{fr,1}}. fclearerror. {bif,fdiv,{f,0},[{fr,0},{fr,1}],{fr,0}}. {fcheckerror,{f,0}}. %% The instruction {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}} should have %% been here. %% Block of instructions expanded from a call to %% the pseudo-BIF is_record/3. (Expanded in a later %% compiler pass.) {test,is_tuple,{f,3},[{x,0}]}. {test,test_arity,{f,3},[{x,0},2]}. {get_tuple_element,{x,0},0,{x,2}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,3},[{x,2},{atom,x}]}. {move,{atom,true},{x,2}}. {jump,{f,4}}. {label,3}. {move,{atom,false},{x,2}}. {label,4}. %% End of expansion. %% The fmove instruction that beam_validator complains %% about. {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}}.
