7de0da9594 Refactor all of the canonicalization patterns out of the Canonicalize pass, and
make operations provide a list of canonicalizations that can be applied to
them.  This allows canonicalization to be general to any IR definition.

As part of this, sink PatternMatch.h/cpp down to the IR library to fix a
layering problem.

80610c2f49 Introduce Fourier-Motzkin variable elimination + other cleanup/support
- Introduce Fourier-Motzkin variable elimination to eliminate a dimension from
  a system of linear equalities/inequalities. Update isEmpty to use this.
  Since FM is only exact on rational/real spaces, an emptiness check based on
  this is guaranteed to be exact whenever it says the underlying set is empty;
  if it says, it's not empty, there may still be no integer points in it.
  Also, supports a version that computes "dark shadows".

- Test this by checking for "always false" conditionals in if statements.

- Unique IntegerSet's that are small (few constraints, few variables). This
  basically means the canonical empty set and other small sets that are
  likely commonly used get uniqued; allows checking for the canonical empty set
  by pointer. IntegerSet::kUniquingThreshold gives the threshold constraint size
  for uniqui'ing.

- rename simplify-affine-expr -> simplify-affine-structures

Other cleanup

- IntegerSet::numConstraints, AffineMap::numResults are no longer needed;
  remove them.
- add copy assignment operators for AffineMap, IntegerSet.
- rename Invalid() -> Null() on AffineExpr, AffineMap, IntegerSet
- Misc cleanup for FlatAffineConstraints API

bd01f9541f Teach canonicalize pass to unique and hoist constants to the entry block. This
is a straight-forward change, but required adding missing moveBefore() methods
on operations (requiring moving some traits around to make C++ happy).  This
also fixes a constness issue with the getBlock/getFunction() methods on
Instruction, and adds a missing getFunction() method on MLFuncBuilder.

991adadccb Move the ReturnOp type checks to ReturnOp::verify.
This was left as a TODO in the code.  Move the type verification from
MLFuncVerifier::verifyReturn to ReturnOp::verify.  Since the return operation
can only appear as the last statement of an MLFunction, i.e. where the
surrounding block is the function itself, it is easy to access the function
descriptor (ReturnOp::verify already relies on this).  From the function
descriptor, one can easily access the type information.  Note that this
slightly modifies the error message due to the use of emitOpError instead of a
plain emitError.

Drop the obsolete TODO comment in MLFunction::verify about checking that
"return" only appears as the last operation of an MLFunction since
ReturnOp::verify explicitly checks for that.

03b48999b6 Add support to constant sparse tensor / vector attribute
The SparseElementsAttr uses (COO) Coordinate List encoding to represents a
sparse tensor / vector. Specifically, the coordinates and values are stored as
two dense elements attributes. The first dense elements attribute is a 2-D
attribute with shape [N, ndims], which contains the indices of the elements
with nonzero values in the constant vector/tensor. The second elements
attribute is a 1-D attribute list with shape [N], which supplies the values for
each element in the first elements attribute. ndims is the rank of the
vector/tensor and N is the total nonzero elements.

The syntax is:

`sparse<` (tensor-type | vector-type)`, ` indices-attribute-list, values-attribute-list `>`

Example: a sparse tensor

sparse<vector<3x4xi32>, [[0, 0], [1, 2]], [1, 2]> represents the dense tensor

[[1, 0, 0, 0]
 [0, 0, 2, 0]
 [0, 0, 0, 0]]

b5b90e5465 Add support to constant dense vector/tensor attribute.
The syntax of dense vecor/tensor attribute value is

`dense<` (tensor-type | vector-type)`,` attribute-list`>`

and

attribute-list ::= `[` attribute-list (`, ` attribute-list)* `]`.

The construction of the dense vector/tensor attribute takes a vector/tensor
type and a character array as arguments. The size of the input array should be
larger than the size specified by the type argument. It also assumes the
elements of the vector or tensor have been trunked to the data type sizes in
the input character array, so it extends the trunked data to 64 bits when it is
retrieved.

multiple TODOs.

- replace the fake test pass (that worked on just the first loop in the
  MLFunction) to perform DMA pipelining on all suitable loops.
- nested DMAs work now (DMAs in an outer loop, more DMAs in nested inner loops)
- fix bugs / assumptions: correctly copy memory space and elemental type of source
  memref for double buffering.
- correctly identify matching start/finish statements, handle multiple DMAs per
  loop.
- introduce dominates/properlyDominates utitilies for MLFunction statements.
- move checkDominancePreservationOnShifts to LoopAnalysis.h; rename it
  getShiftValidity
- refactor getContainingStmtPos -> findAncestorStmtInBlock - move into
  Analysis/Utils.h; has two users.
- other improvements / cleanup for related API/utilities
- add size argument to dma_wait - for nested DMAs or in general, it makes it
  easy to obtain the size to use when lowering the dma_wait since we wouldn't
  want to identify the matching dma_start, and more importantly, in general/in the
  future, there may not always be a dma_start dominating the dma_wait.
- add debug information in the pass

3013dadb7c [MLIR] Basic infrastructure for vectorization test
This CL implements a very simple loop vectorization **test** and the basic
infrastructure to support it.

The test simply consists in:
1. matching the loops in the MLFunction and all the Load/Store operations
nested under the loop;
2. testing whether all the Load/Store are contiguous along the innermost
memory dimension along that particular loop. If any reference is
non-contiguous (i.e. the ForStmt SSAValue appears in the expression), then
the loop is not-vectorizable.

The simple test above can gradually be extended with more interesting
behaviors to account for the fact that a layout permutation may exist that
enables contiguity etc. All these will come in due time but it is worthwhile
noting that the test already supports detection of outer-vetorizable loops.

In implementing this test, I also added a recursive MLFunctionMatcher and some
sugar that can capture patterns
such as `auto gemmLike = Doall(Doall(Red(LoadStore())))` and allows iterating
on the matched IR structures. For now it just uses in order traversal but
post-order DFS will be useful in the future once IR rewrites start occuring.

One may note that the memory management design decision follows a different
pattern from MLIR. After evaluating different designs and how they quickly
increase cognitive overhead, I decided to opt for the simplest solution in my
view: a class-wide (threadsafe) RAII context.

This way, a pass that needs MLFunctionMatcher can just have its own locally
scoped BumpPtrAllocator and everything is cleaned up when the pass is destroyed.
If passes are expected to have a longer lifetime, then the contexts can easily
be scoped inside the runOnMLFunction call and storage lifetime reduced.
Lastly, whatever the scope of threading (module, function, pass), this is
expected to also be future-proof wrt concurrency (but this is a detail atm).

b04f881dcb [MLIR] IntegerSet value type
This CL applies the same pattern as AffineMap to IntegerSet: a simple struct
that acts as the storage is allocated in the bump pointer. The IntegerSet is
immutable and accessed everywhere by value.

Note that unlike AffineMap, it is not possible to remove the MLIRContext
parameter when constructing an IntegerSet for now. One possible way to achieve
this would be to add an enum to distinguish between the mathematically empty
set, the universe set and other sets.

This is left for future discussion.

8ebb6ff171 [MLIR] Sketch AffineExpr value type
This CL sketches what it takes for AffineExpr to fully have by-value semantics
and not be a not-so-smart pointer anymore.

This essentially makes the underyling class a simple storage struct and
implements the operations on the value type directly. Since there is no
forwarding of operations anymore, we can full isolate the storage class and
make a hard visibility barrier by moving detail::AffineExpr into
AffineExprDetail.h.

AffineExprDetail.h is only included where storage-related information is
needed.

ce2edea135 [MLIR] Cleanup AffineExpr
This CL introduces a series of cleanups for AffineExpr value types:
1. to make it clear that the value types should be used, the pointer
AffineExpr types are put in the detail namespace. Unfortunately, since the
value type operator-> only forwards to the underlying pointer type, we
still
need to expose this in the include file for now;
2. AffineExprKind is ok to use, it thus comes out of detail and thus of
AffineExpr
3. getAffineDimExpr, getAffineSymbolExpr, getAffineConstantExpr are
similarly
extracted as free functions and their naming is mande consistent across
Builder, MLContext and AffineExpr
4. AffineBinaryOpEx::simplify functions are made into static free
functions.
In particular it is moved away from AffineMap.cpp where it does not belong
5. operator AffineExprType is made explicit
6. uses the binary operators everywhere possible
7. drops the pointer usage everywhere outside of AffineExpr.cpp,
MLIRContext.cpp and AsmPrinter.cpp

4911978f7e [MLIR] Value types for AffineXXXExpr
This CL makes AffineExprRef into a value type.

Notably:
1. drops llvm isa, cast, dyn_cast on pointer type and uses member functions on
the value type. It may be possible to still use classof  (in a followup CL)
2. AffineBaseExprRef aggressively casts constness away: if we mean the type is
immutable then let's jump in with both feet;
3. Drop implicit casts to the underlying pointer type because that always
results in surprising behavior and is not needed in practice once enough
cleanup has been applied.

The remaining negative I see is that we still need to mix operator. and
operator->. There is an ugly solution that forwards the methods but that ends
up duplicating the class hierarchy which I tried to avoid as much as
possible. But maybe it's not that bad anymore since AffineExpr.h would still
contain a single class hierarchy (the duplication would be impl detail in.cpp)

d2d89cbc19 Rename affineint type to index type. The name 'index' may not be perfect, but is better than the old name. Here is some justification:
1) affineint (as it is named) is not a type suitable for general computation (e.g. the multiply/adds in an integer matmul).  It has undefined width and is undefined on overflow.  They are used as the indices for forstmt because they are intended to be used as indexes inside the loop.

2) It can be used in both cfg and ml functions, and in cfg functions.  As you mention, “symbols” are not affine, and we use affineint values for symbols.

3) Integers aren’t affine, the algorithms applied to them can be. :)

4) The only suitable use for affineint in MLIR is for indexes and dimension sizes (i.e. the bounds of those indexes).

b55b407601 [RFC][MLIR] Use AffineExprRef in place of AffineExpr* in IR
This CL starts by replacing AffineExpr* with value-type AffineExprRef in a few
places in the IR. By a domino effect that is pretty telling of the
inconsistencies in the codebase, const is removed where it makes sense.

The rationale is that the decision was concisously made that unique'd types
have pointer semantics without const specifier. This is fine but we should be
consistent. In the end, the only logical invariant is that there should never
be such a thing as a const AffineExpr*, const AffineMap* or const IntegerSet*
in our codebase.

This CL takes a number of shortcuts to killing const with fire, in particular
forcing const AffineExprRef to return the underlying non-const
AffineExpr*. This will be removed once AffineExpr* has disappeared in
containers but for now such shortcuts allow a bit of sanity in this long quest
for cleanups.

The **only** places where const AffineExpr*, const AffineMap* or const
IntegerSet* may still appear is by transitive needs from containers,
comparison operators etc.

There is still one major thing remaining here: figure out why cast/dyn_cast
return me a const AffineXXX*, which in turn requires a bunch of ugly
const_casts. I suspect this is due to the classof
taking const AffineXXXExpr*. I wonder whether this is a side effect of 1., if
it is coming from llvm itself (I'd doubt it) or something else (clattner@?)

In light of this, the whole discussion about const makes total sense to me now
and I would systematically apply the rule that in the end, we should never
have any const XXX in our codebase for unique'd types (assuming we can remove
them all in containers and no additional constness constraint is added on us
from the outside world).

5b8017db18 [MLIR] Templated AffineExprBaseRef
This CL implements AffineExprBaseRef as a templated type to allow LLVM-style
casts to work properly. This also allows making AffineExprBaseRef::expr
private.

To achieve this, it is necessary to use llvm::simplify_type and make
AffineConstExpr derive from both AffineExpr and llvm::simplify<AffineExprRef>.
Note that llvm::simplify_type is just an interface to enable the proper
template resolution of isa/cast/dyn_cast but it otherwise holds no value.

Lastly note that certain dyn_cast operations wanted the const AffineExpr* form
of AffineExprBaseRef so I made the implicit constructor take that by default
and documented the immutable behavior. I think this is consistent with the
decision to make unique'd type immutable by convention and never use const on
them.

This CL uniformizes the uses of AffineExprWrap outside of IR.
The public API of AffineExpr builder is modified to only use AffineExprWrap.
A few places access AffineExprWrap.expr, this is only while the API is in
transition to easily keep track (i.e. make expr private and let the compiler
track the errors).

Parser.cpp exhibits patterns that are dependent on nullptr values so
converting it is left for another CL.

9ef87c4b6b [MLIR] AffineExpr lightweight value type for operators
This CL proposes adding MLIRContext* to AffineExpr as discussed previously.
This allows the value class to not require the context in its constructor and
makes it a POD that it makes sense to pass by value everywhere.
A list of other RFC CLs will build on this. The RFC CLs are small incremental
pushes of the API which would be a pretty big change otherwise.

Pushing the thinking a little bit more it seems reasonable to use implicit
cast/constructor to/from AffineExpr*.
As this thing evolves, it looks to me like IR (and
probably Parser, for not so good reasons) want to operate on AffineExpr* and
the rest of the code wants to operate on the value type.

For this reason I think AffineExprImpl*/AffineExpr may also make sense but I
do not have a particular naming preference.
The jury is still out for naming decision between the above and
AffineExprBase*/AffineExpr or AffineExpr*/AffineExprRef.

4805e629c5 [MLIR] Use chainable ligthweight wrapper for AffineExpr
This CL argues that the builder API for AffineExpr should be used
with a lightweight wrapper that supports operators chaining.
This CL takes the ill-named AffineExprWrap and proposes a simple
set of operators with builtin constant simplifications.

This allows:
1. removing the getAddMulPureAffineExpr function;
2. avoiding concerns about constant vs non-constant simplifications
at **every call site**;
3. writing the mathematical expressions we want to write without unnecessary
obfuscations.

The points above represent pure technical debt that we don't want to carry on.
It is important to realize that this is not a mere convenience or "just sugar"
but reduction in cognitive overhead.

This thinking can be pushed significantly further, I have added some comments
with some basic ideas but we could make AffineMap, AffineApply and other
objects that use map applications more functional and value-based.

I am putting this out to get a first batch of reviews and see what people
think.

I think in my preferred design I would have the Builder directly return such
AffineExprPtr objects by value everywhere and avoid the boilerplate explicit
creations that I am doing by hand at this point.

Yes this AffineExprPtr would implicitly convert to AffineExpr* because that is
what it is.
