Some pysical registers create split solutions that would spill anywhere.
They should not even be considered in future multi-way global splits.
This does not affect code generation (yet).

RAGreedy::tryAssign will now evict interference from the preferred
register even when another register is free.
To support this, add the EvictionCost struct that counts how many hints
are broken by an eviction. We don't want to break one hint just to
satisfy another.
Rename canEvict to shouldEvict, and add the first bit of eviction policy
that doesn't depend on spill weights: Always make room in the preferred
register as long as the evictees can be split and aren't already
assigned to their preferred register.
Also make the CSR avoidance more accurate. When looking for a cheaper
register it is OK to use a new volatile register. Only CSR aliases that
have never been used before should be avoided.

This is impossible in theory, I can prove it. In practice, our near-zero
threshold can cause the network to oscillate between equally good
solutions.

A split point inserted in a block with a landing pad successor may be
hoisted above the call to ensure that it dominates all successors. The
code that handles the rest of the basic block must take this into
account.
I am not including a test case, it would be very fragile. PR10244 comes
from building clang with exceptions enabled.

Every live range is assigned a cascade number the first time it is
involved in an eviction. As the evictor, it gets a new cascade number.
Every evictee is assigned the same cascade number as the evictor.
Eviction is prohibited if the evictor has a lower assigned cascade
number than the evictee.
This means that assigned cascade numbers are monotonically increasing
with every eviction, yet they are bounded by NextCascade which can only
be incremented by new live ranges. Thus, infinite loops cannot happen,
but eviction cascades can still be triggered by new live ranges as we
want.
Thanks to Andy for explaining this to me.

This patch will sometimes choose live range split points next to
interference instead of always splitting next to a register point. That
means spill code can now appear almost anywhere, and it was necessary
to fix code that didn't expect that.
The difficult places were:
- Between a CALL returning a value on the x87 stack and the
corresponding FpPOP_RETVAL (was FpGET_ST0). Probably also near x87
inline assembly, but that didn't actually show up in testing.
- Between a CALL popping arguments off the stack and the corresponding
ADJCALLSTACKUP.
Both are fixed now. The only place spill code can't appear is after
terminators, see SplitAnalysis::getLastSplitPoint.
Original commit message:
Rewrite RAGreedy::splitAroundRegion, now with cool ASCII art.
This function has to deal with a lot of special cases, and the old
version got it wrong sometimes. In particular, it would sometimes leave
multiple uses in the stack interval in a single block. That causes bad
code with multiple reloads in the same basic block.
The new version handles block entry and exit in a single pass. It first
eliminates all the easy cases, and then goes on to create a local
interval for the blocks with difficult interference. Previously, we
would only create the local interval for completely isolated blocks.
It can happen that the stack interval becomes completely empty because
we could allocate a register in all edge bundles, and the new local
intervals deal with the interference. The empty stack interval is
harmless, but we need to remove a SplitKit assertion that checks for
empty intervals.

When local live range splitting creates a live range with the same
number of instructions as the old range, mark it as RS_Local. When such
a range is seen again, require that it be split in a way that reduces
the number of instructions. That guarantees we are making progress while
still being able to perform 3 -> 2+3 splits as required by PR10070.
This also means that the PrevSlot map is no longer needed. This was also
used to estimate new spill weights, but that is no longer necessary
after slotIndexes::insertMachineInstrInMaps() got the extra Late
insertion argument.

of reserved registers.
Use RegisterClassInfo in RABasic as well. This slightly changes som
allocation orders because RegisterClassInfo puts CSR aliases last.
llvm-svn: 132581
When assigned ranges are evicted, they are put in the RS_Evicted stage and are
not allowed to evict anything else. That prevents looping automatically.
When evicting ranges just to get a cheaper register, use only spill weights to
find the possible candidates. Avoid breaking hints for this purpose, it is not
worth it.
Start implementing more complex eviction heuristics, guarded by the temporary
-complex-eviction flag. The initial version permits a heavier range to be
evicted if it doesn't have any uses where the evicting range is live. This makes
it a good candidate for live ranfge splitting.
llvm-svn: 132358
Delete the Kill and Def markers in BlockInfo. They are no longer
necessary when BlockInfo describes a continuous live range.
This only affects the relatively rare kind of basic block where a live
range looks like this:
|---x o---|
Now live range splitting can pretend that it is looking at two blocks:
|---x
o---|
This allows the code to be simplified a bit.
llvm-svn: 132245
It is important that this function returns the same number of live blocks as
countLiveBlocks(CurLI) because live range splitting uses the number of live
blocks to ensure it is making progress.
This is in preparation of supporting duplicate UseBlock entries for basic blocks
that have a virtual register live-in and live-out, but not live-though.
llvm-svn: 132244
This doesn't change functionality (much), but it allows for a more fine-grained
eviction policy. The current policy only compares spill weights, and that is not
always the best thing to do. Spill weights are designed to serve linear scan,
and they don't consider live range splitting.
Add a mechanism so canEvict() can request that a live range be evicted and
split/spilled. This is to avoid infinite eviction loops.
llvm-svn: 132101
This can't be just an assertion, users can always write impossible inline
assembly. Such an assembly statement should be included in the error message.
llvm-svn: 131024
After a virtual register is split, update any debug user variables that resided
in the old register. This ensures that the LiveDebugVariables are still correct
after register allocation.
This may create DBG_VALUE instructions that place a user variable in a register
in parts of the function and in a stack slot in other parts. DwarfDebug
currently doesn't support that.
llvm-svn: 130998
Register coalescing can sometimes create live ranges that end in the middle of a
basic block without any killing instruction. When SplitKit detects this, it will
repair the live range by shrinking it to its uses.
Live range splitting also needs to know about this. When the range shrinks so
much that it becomes allocatable, live range splitting fails because it can't
find a good split point. It is paranoid about making progress, so an allocatable
range is considered an error.
The coalescer should really not be creating these bad live ranges. They appear
when coalescing dead copies.
llvm-svn: 130787
These intervals are allocatable immediately after splitting, but they may be
evicted because of later splitting. This is rare, but when it happens they
should be split again.
The remainder intervals that cannot be allocated after splitting still move
directly to spilling.
SplitEditor::finish can optionally provide a mapping from new live intervals
back to the original interval indexes returned by openIntv().
Each original interval index can map to multiple new intervals after connected
components have been separated. Dead code elimination may also add existing
intervals to the list.
The reverse mapping allows the SplitEditor client to treat the new intervals
differently depending on the split region they came from.

On the x86-64 and thumb2 targets, some registers are more expensive to encode
than others in the same register class.
Add a CostPerUse field to the TableGen register description, and make it
available from TRI->getCostPerUse. This represents the cost of a REX prefix or a
32-bit instruction encoding required by choosing a high register.
Teach the greedy register allocator to prefer cheap registers for busy live
ranges (as indicated by spill weight).
llvm-svn: 129864
This merges the behavior of splitSingleBlocks into splitAroundRegion, so the
RS_Region and RS_Block register stages can be coalesced. That means the leftover
intervals after region splitting go directly to spilling instead of a second
pass of per-block splitting.
llvm-svn: 129379
It is common for large live ranges to have few basic blocks with register uses
and many live-through blocks without any uses. This approach grows the Hopfield
network incrementally around the use blocks, completely avoiding checking
interference for some through blocks.
llvm-svn: 129188
About 90% of the relevant blocks are live-through without uses, and the only
information required about them is their number. This saves memory and enables
later optimizations that need to look at only the use-blocks.
llvm-svn: 128985
When the greedy register allocator is splitting multiple global live ranges, it
tends to look at the same interference data many times. The InterferenceCache
class caches queries for unaltered LiveIntervalUnions.
llvm-svn: 128764
When DCE clones a live range because it separates into connected components,
make sure that the clones enter the same register allocator stage as the
register they were cloned from.
For instance, clones may be split even when they where created during spilling.
Other registers created during spilling are not candidates for splitting or even
(re-)spilling.
llvm-svn: 128524
The reassignment phase was able to move interference with a higher spill weight,
but it didn't happen very often and it was fairly expensive.
The existing interference eviction picks up the slack.
