This patch is split off from PR #88385 and concerns only the code
related to the legality of vectorising early exit loops. It is the first
step in adding support for vectorisation of a simple class of loops that
typically involves searching for something, i.e.
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (p[i] == val)
return i;
}
return n;
or
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (p1[i] != p2[i])
return i;
}
return n;
In this initial commit LoopVectorizationLegality will only consider
early exit loops legal for vectorising if they follow these criteria:
1. There are no stores in the loop.
2. The loop must have only one early exit like those shown in the above
example. I have referred to such exits as speculative early exits, to
distinguish from existing support for early exits where the
exit-not-taken count is known exactly at compile time.
3. The early exit block dominates the latch block.
4. The latch block must have an exact exit count.
5. There are no loads after the early exit block.
6. The loop must not contain reductions or recurrences. I don't see
anything fundamental blocking vectorisation of such loops, but I just
haven't done the work to support them yet.
7. We must be able to prove at compile-time that loops will not contain
faulting loads.
Tests have been added here:
Transforms/LoopVectorize/AArch64/simple_early_exit.ll
Update a bunch of loop-vectorize regression tests to use the new PM syntax (opt -passes=loop-vectorize) instead of the deprecated legacy PM syntax (opt -loop-vectorize).
This reverts commit 4ffcd4fe9ac2ee948948f732baa16663eb63f1c7 thus restoring e4df6a40dad. The only change from the original patch is to add "llvm::" before the call to empty(iterator_range). This is a speculative fix for the ambiguity reported on some builders.
This reverts commit e4df6a40dad66e989a4333c11d39cf3ed9635135. Breaks Windows bots, e.g. http://45.33.8.238/win/30472/step_4.txt and http://lab.llvm.org:8011/#/builders/83/builds/2078/steps/5/logs/stdio
This patch is a major step towards supporting multiple exit loops in the vectorizer. This patch on it's own extends the loop forms allowed in two ways:
single exit loops which are not bottom tested
multiple exit loops w/ a single exit block reached from all exits and no phis in the exit block (because of LCSSA this implies no values defined in the loop used later)
The restrictions on multiple exit loop structures will be removed in follow up patches; disallowing cases for now makes the code changes smaller and more obvious. As before, we can only handle loops with entirely analyzable exits. Removing that restriction is much harder, and is not part of currently planned efforts.
The basic idea here is that we can force the last iteration to run in the scalar epilogue loop (if we have one). From the definition of SCEV's backedge taken count, we know that no earlier iteration can exit the vector body. As such, we can leave the decision on which exit to be taken to the scalar code and generate a bottom tested vector loop which runs all but the last iteration.
The existing code already had the notion of requiring one iteration in the scalar epilogue, this patch is mainly about generalizing that support slightly, making sure we don't try to use this mechanism when tail folding, and updating the code to reflect the difference between a single exit block and a unique exit block (very mechanical).

The reversion apparently deleted the test/Transforms directory. Will be re-reverting again. llvm-svn: 358552
As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton). This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda. llvm-svn: 358546
In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly. We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format of DILabel is !DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3) We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block. The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out. The format of the intrinsic is llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1) It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter. We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend. Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

This is PR28376. Unfortunately given the current structure of optimization diagnostics we lack the capability to tell whether the user has passed -Rpass-analysis=loop-vectorize since this is local to the front-end (BackendConsumer::OptimizationRemarkHandler). So rather than printing this even if the user has already passed -Rpass-analysis, this patch just punts and stops recommending this option. I don't think that getting this right is worth the complexity. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D26563 llvm-svn: 286662
