2011-08-03Be more conservative when forming compact regions.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
Apply twice the negative bias on transparent blocks when computing the compact regions. This excludes loop backedges from the region when only one of the loop blocks uses the register. Previously, we would include the backedge in the region if the loop preheader and the loop latch both used the register, but the loop header didn't. When both the header and latch blocks use the register, we still keep it live on the backedge. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@136832 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-08-02Extend the SpillPlacement interface with two new features.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
The PrefBoth constraint is used for blocks that ideally want a live-in value both on the stack and in a register. This would be used by a block that has a use before interference forces a spill. Secondly, add the ChangesValue flag to BlockConstraint. This tells SpillPlacement if a live-in value on the stack can be reused as a live-out stack value for free. If the block redefines the virtual register, a spill would be required for that. This extra information will be used by SpillPlacement to more accurately calculate spill costs when a value can exist both on the stack and in a register. The simplest example is a basic block that reads the virtual register, but doesn't change its value. Spilling around such a block requires a reload, but no spill in the block. The spiller already knows this, but the spill placer doesn't. That can sometimes lead to suboptimal regions. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@136731 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-07-23Add a simple method for marking blocks with interference in and out.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
This method matches addLinks - All the listed blocks are considered to have interference, so they add a negative bias to their bundles. This could also be done by addConstraints, but that requires building a separate BlockConstraint array. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@135844 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-04-09Build the Hopfield network incrementally when splitting global live ranges.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
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. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@129188 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-04-07Extract SpillPlacement::addLinks for handling the special transparent blocks.Jakob Stoklund Olesen

2011-04-06Keep track of the number of positively biased nodes when adding constraints.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
If there are no positive nodes, the algorithm can be aborted early. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@129021 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-04-06Break the spill placement algorithm into three parts: prepare, ↵Jakob Stoklund Olesen
addConstraints, and finish. This will allow us to abort the algorithm early if it is determined to be futile. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@129020 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-03-04Precompute block frequencies, pow() isn't free.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@126975 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-01-18Add RAGreedy methods for splitting live ranges around regions.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
Analyze the live range's behavior entering and leaving basic blocks. Compute an interference pattern for each allocation candidate, and use SpillPlacement to find an optimal region where that register can be live. This code is still not enabled. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@123774 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-01-06Add the SpillPlacement analysis pass.Jakob Stoklund Olesen
This pass precomputes CFG block frequency information that can be used by the register allocator to find optimal spill code placement. Given an interference pattern, placeSpills() will compute which basic blocks should have the current variable enter or exit in a register, and which blocks prefer the stack. The algorithm is ready to consume block frequencies from profiling data, but for now it gets by with the static estimates used for spill weights. This is a work in progress and still not hooked up to RegAllocGreedy. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@122938 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
