We replace the std::vector in the Operand class by a new class that does
a small size optimization. This helps improve compile time on Windows.
Tested on three sets of shaders. Trying various values for the small
vector. The optimal value for the operand class was 2. However, for
the Instruction class, using an std::vector was optimal. Size of "0"
means that an std::vector was used.
Instruction size
0 4 8
Operand Size
0 489 544 684
1 593 487
2 469 570
4 473
8 505
This is a single thread run of ~120 shaders. For the multithreaded run
the results were the similar. The basline time was ~62sec. The
optimal configuration was an 2 for the OperandData and an
std::vector for the OperandList with a compile time of ~38sec. Similar
expiriments were done with other sets of shaders. The compile time still
improved, but not as much.

The following passes are updated to preserve the inst-to-block and
def-use analysies:
private-to-local
aggressive dead-code elimination
dead branch elimination
local-single-block elimination
local-single-store elimination
reduce load size
compact ids (inst-to-block only)
merge block
dead-insert elimination
ccp
The one execption is that compact ids still kills the def-use manager.
This is because it changes so many ids it is faster to kill and rebuild.
Does everything in
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/1593 except for the
changes to merge return.
By using forward pointers, we are able to define a struct that has a
pointer to itself. This could be directly or indirectly. The current
implementation of the type manager did not handle this case. There are
three changes that are made in this commit inorder to handle this case:
1) Change the handling of OpTypeForwardPointer
The current handling of OpTypeForwardsPointer is broken if there is a
reference to the pointer before the real definition. When build the
type that contain the forward delared pointer, the type manager will ask
for the type for that ID, and will get a nullptr because it does not
exists. This nullptr is not handleded very well.
The change is to keep track of the incomplete types the first time
through all of the types. An incomplete type is a ForwardPointer or any
type that references an incomplete type.
Then we implement a second pass through the incomplete types that will
complete them.
2) Hashing types.
When hashing a type, we want to uses all of the subtypes as part of the
hash. However, with types that reference them selves, this creates an
infinite recursion. To get around this, we keep track of which types
have been seen on the path from the root type. If we have see the
current type already then we can stop the recursion.
3) Comparing types.
In order to check if two types are the same, we must check that all of
their subtypes are the same as well. This also causes an infinit
recursion. The solution is to stop comparing the subtypes if we are
trying to compare two pointer types that we are already in the middle of
comparing. The ideas is that if the two pointer are different, then in
progress compare will return false itself.

We add a new rule to the folding rules to fold an FMix feeding an
extract when the alpha value for the element being extracted is either
0 or 1. In those case, we can simple extract from one of the operands
to the FMix.
With that change the simplification pass completely subsumes the
insert-extract elimination pass. So we remove the insert-extract
elimination passes and replce them with calls to the simplification
pass.
In a follow up PR, we should delete the insert-extract elimination pass.

Currently it's impossible for external code to register a pass because
the only source file that can create pass tokens is optimizer.cpp. This
makes it hard to add passes that can't be upstreamed since you can't run
them from the usual pass sequence without reimplementing Optimizer.
This change adds a PassToken constructor that takes unique_ptr to
opt::Pass; if out-of-tree code implements opt::Pass it can register a
custom pass without having to add it to SPIRV-Tools source code.
Removes the limit on scalar replacement for the lagalization passes.
This is done by adding an option to the pass (and command line option)
to set the limit on maximum size of the composite that scalar
replacement is willing to divide.
Fixes#1494.
ADCE does not treat OpCopyMemory as an instruction that references
memory. Because of that stores are removed that should not be.
This change teaches ADCE that OpCopyMemory and OpCopyMemorySize both
loads from and stores to memory. This will keep other stores live when
needed, and will allows ADCE to remove OpCopyMemory instructions as
well.
Fixes https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/1556.
Currently in scalar replacement, we create a new variable for every
memeber of the composite being divided. It is often overkill, because
not all of those members will be used. This change will check which
elements are used and only create variable for the members that are
used.
This reduces the compile time for one set of shader from 248s to 165s.

The code patterns generated by DXC around function calls can cause many
store to be storing the same value that was just loaded from the same
location:
```
%10 = OpLoad %type %var
OpStore %var %10
```
We want to clean these up very early on because they can cause other
transformations to do a lot of work. For the cases I see, they can be
removed during local-single-block-elim.
For one set of shaders the compile time goes from 248s to 182s. A 26%
improvement.

We have already disabled common uniform elimination because it created
sequences of loads an entire uniform object, then we extract just a
single element. This caused problems in some drivers, and is just
generally slow because it loads more memory than needed.
However, there are other way to get into this situation, so I've added
a pass that looks specifically for this pattern and removes it when only
a portion of the load is used.
Fixes#1547.
An FClamp instruction forces a values to be within a certain interval.
When the upper or lower bound of the FClamp is a constant and the value
being compared with is a constant, then in some case we can fold the
compared because the entire range is say less than the value.
Fixes https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/1549.
If there is a shader with a variable in the workgroup storage class that
is stored to, but not loadeds, then we know nothing will read those
loads. It should be safe to remove them.
This is implemented in ADCE by treating workgroup variables the same
way that private variables are treated.
Fixes https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/1550.
At this time, DCE will only remove an instruction if it is a combinator.
However, there are certain non-combinator instructions that can be
safely removed if their results are not used. The derivative
instructions are on example.
We are also missing some instructions from the list of combinators
those are added as the same time.
When doing if-conversion, we do not currently move code out of the side
nodes. The reason for this is that it can increase the number of
instructions that get executed because both side nods will have to be
executed now.
In this commit, we add code to move an instruction, and all of the
instructions it depends on, out of a side node and into the header of
the selection construct. However to keep the cost down, we only do it
when the two values in the OpPhi node compute the same value. This way
we have to move only one of the instructions and the other becomes
unused most of the time. So no real extra cost.
Makes the value number table an alalysis in the ir context.
Added more opcodes to list of code motion safe opcodes.
Fixes#1526.
Previously, the loop class used the terms latch and continue block
interchangeably. This patch splits the two and corrects and tests some
uses of the old uses of GetLatchBlock.
This pass will look for adjacent loops that are compatible and legal to
be fused.
Loops are compatible if:
- they both have one induction variable
- they have the same upper and lower bounds
- same initial value
- same condition
- they have the same update step
- they are adjacent
- there are no break/continue in either of them
Fusion is legal if:
- fused loops do not have any dependencies with dependence distance
greater than 0 that did not exist in the original loops.
- there are no function calls in the loops (could have side-effects)
- there are no barriers in the loops
It will fuse all such loops as long as the number of registers used for
the fused loop stays under the threshold defined by
max_registers_per_loop.
Adds support for spliting loops whose register pressure exceeds a user
provided level. This pass will split a loop into two or more loops given
that the loop is a top level loop and that spliting the loop is legal.
Control flow is left intact for dead code elimination to remove.
This pass is enabled with the --loop-fission flag to spirv-opt.
Track live scalars in VDCE as if they were single element vectors.
Handle the extended instructions for GLSL in VDCE.
Handle composite construct instructions in VDCE.
If one of the operands to an OpVectorTimesScalar instruction is zero,
then the result will be the 0 vector. Currently we do not fold the
insturction unless both operands are constants. This change fixes that.
We also allow folding of OpPhi instructions where the incoming values
are either an OpUndef or the OpPhi instruction itself. As with other
cases, this can be simplified to the OpUndef.
Track live scalars in VDCE as if they were single element vectors.
Handle the extended instructions for GLSL in VDCE.
Handle composite construct instructions in VDCE.
Fixes#1511.
Eliminate unused store to variable if followed by store to same
variable in same block.
Most significantly, this cleans up stores made unused by this pass.
These useless stores can inhibit subsequent optimizations, specifically
LocalSingleStoreElim. Eliminating them makes subsequent optimization more
effective.
The main effect of this pass is to simplify the work done by the SSA
rewriter. It catches many local loads/stores that help speeding up the
work done by the main rewriter.
Introduce a pass that does a DCE type analysis for vector elements
instead of the whole vector as a single element.
It will then rewrite instructions that are not used with something else.
For example, an instruction whose value are not used, even though it is
referenced, is replaced with an OpUndef.
For each function, the analysis determine which SSA registers are live
at the beginning of each basic block and which one are killed at
the end of the basic block.
It also includes utilities to simulate the register pressure for loop
fusion and fission.
The implementation is based on the paper "A non-iterative data-flow
algorithm for computing liveness sets in strict ssa programs" from
Boissinot et al.
The local-single-store-elim algorithm is not fundamentally bad.
However, when there are a large number of variables, some of the
maps that are used can become very large. These large data structures
then take a very long time to be destroyed. I've seen cases around 40%
if the time.
I've rewritten that algorithm to not use as much memory. This give a
significant improvement when running a large number of shader through
DXC.
I've also made a small change to local-single-block-elim to delete the
loads that is has replaced. That way local-single-store-elim will not
have to look at those. local-single-store-elim now does the same thing.
The time for one set goes from 309s down to 126s. For another set, the
time goes from 102s down to 88s.
GCD MIV test as described in Chapter 3 of "Optimizing Compilers for
Modern Architectures: A Dependence-Based Approach" by Randy Allen, and
Ken Kennedy.

Gina Goff, Ken Kennedy, and Chau-Wen Tseng from PLDI '91.
The unordered_set in ADCE that holds all of the live instructions takes
a very long time to be destroyed. In some shaders, it takes over 40% of
the time.
If we look at the unique ids of the live instructions, I believe they
are dense enough make a simple bit vector a good choice for to hold that
data. When I check the density of the bit vector for larger shaders, we
are usually using less than 4 bytes per element in the vector, and
almost always less than 16.
So, in this commit, I introduce a simple bit vector class, and
use it in ADCE.
This help improve the compile time for some shaders on windows by the
40% mentioned above.

For each loop in a function, the pass walks the loops from inner to outer most loop
and tries to peel loop for which a certain amount of iteration can be done before or after the loop.
To limit code growth, peeling will not happen if the growth in code size goes above a configurable threshold.
Provides functionality to perform ZIV and SIV dependency analysis tests
between a load and store within the same loop.
Dependency tests rely on scalar analysis to prove and disprove dependencies
with regard to the loop being analysed.
Based on the 1990 paper Practical Dependence Testing by Goff, Kennedy, Tseng
Adds support for marking loops in the loop nest as IRRELEVANT.
Loops are marked IRRELEVANT if the analysed instructions contain
no induction variables for the loops, i.e. the loops induction
variable is not relevent to the dependence of the store and load.
Adding three rules to fold OpDot (implemented as two).
- When an OpDot has two constants, then fold to the resulting const.
- When one of the inputs is the 0 vector, then fold to zero.
- When one of the inputs is a single 1 with 0s, then rewrite to an
OpCompositeExtract of the appropriate element. This will help find
even more folding opportunities.
