* Create structed cfg analysis.
There are lots of optimization that have to traverse the CFG in a
structured order just because it wants to know which constructs a
basic block in contained in. This adds extra complexity to these
optimizations, for causes too much refactoring of older optimizations.
To help with this problem, I have written an analysis that can give this
information.
* Identify branches breaking from loops.
Dead branch elimination does a search for a conditional branch to the
end of the current selection construct. This search assumes that the
only way to leave the construct is through the merge node. But that is
not true. The code can jump to the merge node of a loop that contains
the construct.
The search needs to take this into consideration.
* Combines OpAccessChain, OpInBoundsAccessChain, OpPtrAccessChain and
OpInBoundsPtrAccessChain
* New folding rule to fold add with 0 for integers
* Converts to a bitcast if the result type does not match the operand
type

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.
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.
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.
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.
This patch adds support for the analysis of scalars in loops. It works
by traversing the defuse chain to build a DAG of scalar operations and
then simplifies the DAG by folding constants and grouping like terms.
It represents induction variables as recurrent expressions with respect
to a given loop and can simplify DAGs containing recurrent expression by
rewritting the entire DAG to be a recurrent expression with respect to
the same loop.
The sprir-v generated from HLSL code contain many copyies of very large
arrays. Not only are these time consumming, but they also cause
problems for drivers because they require too much space.
To work around this, we will implement an array copy propagation. Note
that we will not implement a complete array data flow analysis in order
to implement this. We will be looking for very simple cases:
1) The source must never be stored to.
2) The target must be stored to exactly once.
3) The store to the target must be a store to the entire array, and be a
copy of the entire source.
4) All loads of the target must be dominated by the store.
The hard part is keeping all of the types correct. We do not want to
have to do too large a search to update everything, which may not be
possible, do we give up if we see any instruction that might be hard to
update.
Also in types.h, the element decorations are not stored in an std::map.
This change was done so the hashing algorithm for a Struct is
consistent. With the std::unordered_map, the traversal order was
non-deterministic leading to the same type getting hashed to different
values. See |Struct::GetExtraHashWords|.
Contributes to #1416.
This pass replaces the load/store elimination passes. It implements the
SSA re-writing algorithm proposed in
Simple and Efficient Construction of Static Single Assignment Form.

In contrast to common eager algorithms based on dominance and dominance
frontier information, this algorithm works backwards from load operations.
When a target variable is loaded, it queries the variable's reaching
definition. If the reaching definition is unknown at the current location,
it searches backwards in the CFG, inserting Phi instructions at join points
in the CFG along the way until it finds the desired store instruction.
The algorithm avoids repeated lookups using memoization.
For reducible CFGs, which are a superset of the structured CFGs in SPIRV,
this algorithm is proven to produce minimal SSA. That is, it inserts the
minimal number of Phi instructions required to ensure the SSA property, but
some Phi instructions may be dead
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form).
The loop peeler util takes a loop as input and create a new one before.
The iterator of the duplicated loop then set to accommodate the number
of iteration required for the peeling.
The loop peeling pass that decided to do the peeling and profitability
analysis is left for a follow-up PR.
Strips reflection info. This is limited to decorations and
decoration instructions related to the SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1
extension.
It will remove the OpExtension for SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1.
It will also remove the OpExtension for SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string
if there are no further remaining uses of OpDecorateStringGOOGLE.
Fixes https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/1398
It moves all conditional branching and switch whose conditions are loop
invariant and uniform. Before performing the loop unswitch we check that
the loop does not contain any instruction that would prevent it
(barriers, group instructions etc.).
This patch adds initial support for loop unrolling in the form of a
series of utility classes which perform the unrolling. The pass can
be run with the command spirv-opt --loop-unroll. This will unroll
loops within the module which have the unroll hint set. The unroller
imposes a number of requirements on the loops it can unroll. These are
documented in the comments for the LoopUtils::CanPerformUnroll method in
loop_utils.h. Some of the restrictions will be lifted in future patches.
Implementation of the simplification pass.
- Create pass that calls the instruction folder on each instruction and
propagate instructions that fold to a copy. This will do copy
propagation as well.
- Did not use the propagator engine because I want to modify the instruction
as we go along.
- Change folding to not allocate new instructions, but make changes in
place. This change had a big impact on compile time.
- Add simplification pass to the legalization passes in place of
insert-extract elimination.
- Added test cases for new folding rules.
- Added tests for the simplification pass
- Added a method to the CFG to apply a function to the basic blocks in
reverse post order.
Contributes to #1164.
Create the folding engine that will
1) attempt to fold an instruction.
2) iterates on the folding so small folding rules can be easily combined.
3) insert new instructions when needed.
I've added the minimum number of rules needed to test the features above.
This patch adds LoopUtils class to handle some loop related transformations. For now it has 2 transformations that simplifies other transformations such as loop unroll or unswitch:
- Dedicate exit blocks: this ensure that all exit basic block
(out-of-loop basic blocks that have a predecessor in the loop)
have all their predecessors in the loop;
- Loop Closed SSA (LCSSA): this ensure that all definitions in a loop are used inside the loop
or in a phi instruction in an exit basic block.
It also adds the following capabilities:
- Loop::IsLCSSA to test if the loop is in a LCSSA form
- Loop::GetOrCreatePreHeaderBlock that can build a loop preheader if required;
- New methods to allow on the fly updates of the loop descriptors.
- New methods to allow on the fly updates of the CFG analysis.
- Instruction::SetOperand to allow expression of the index relative to Instruction::NumOperands (to be compatible with the index returned by DefUseManager::ForEachUse)
Creates a pass that will remove instructions that are invalid for the
current shader stage. For the instruction to be considered for replacement
1) The opcode must be valid for a shader modules.
2) The opcode must be invalid for the current shader stage.
3) All entry points to the module must be for the same shader stage.
4) The function containing the instruction must be reachable from an entry point.
Fixes#1247.
* Handles simple cases only
* Identifies phis in blocks with two predecessors and attempts to
convert the phi to an select
* does not perform code motion currently so the converted values must
dominate the join point (e.g. can't be defined in the branches)
* limited for now to two predecessors, but can be extended to handle
more cases
* Adding if conversion to -O and -Os
We have come across a driver bug where and OpUnreachable inside a loop
is causing the shader to go into an infinite loop. This commit will try
to avoid this bug by turning OpUnreachable instructions that are
contained in a loop into branches to the loop merge block.
This is not added to "-O" and "-Os" because it should only be used if
the driver being targeted has this problem.
Fixes#1209.
Add post-order tree iterator.
Add DominatorTreeNode extensions:
- Add begin/end methods to do pre-order and post-order tree traversal from a given DominatorTreeNode
Add DominatorTree extensions:
- Add begin/end methods to do pre-order and post-order tree traversal
- Tree traversal ignore by default the pseudo entry block
- Retrieve a DominatorTreeNode from a basic block
Add loop descriptor:
- Add a LoopDescriptor class to register all loops in a given function.
- Add a Loop class to describe a loop:
- Loop parent
- Nested loops
- Loop depth
- Loop header, merge, continue and preheader
- Basic blocks that belong to the loop
Correct a bug that forced dominator tree to be constantly rebuilt.
This implements the conditional constant propagation pass proposed in
Constant propagation with conditional branches,
Wegman and Zadeck, ACM TOPLAS 13(2):181-210.
The main logic resides in CCPPass::VisitInstruction. Instruction that
may produce a constant value are evaluated with the constant folder. If
they produce a new constant, the instruction is considered interesting.
Otherwise, it's considered varying (for unfoldable instructions) or
just not interesting (when not enough operands have a constant value).
The other main piece of logic is in CCPPass::VisitBranch. This
evaluates the selector of the branch. When it's found to be a known
value, it computes the destination basic block and sets it. This tells
the propagator which branches to follow.
The patch required extensions to the constant manager as well. Instead
of hashing the Constant pointers, this patch changes the constant pool
to hash the contents of the Constant. This allows the lookups to be
done using the actual values of the Constant, preventing duplicate
definitions.
When a private variable is used in a single function, it can be
converted to a function scope variable in that function. This adds a
pass that does that. The pass can be enabled using the option
`--private-to-local`.
This transformation allows other transformations to act on these
variables.
Also moved `FindPointerToType` from the inline class to the type manager.
Adds a scalar replacement pass. The pass considers all function scope
variables of composite type. If there are accesses to individual
elements (and it is legal) the pass replaces the variable with a
variable for each composite element and updates all the uses.
Added the pass to -O
Added NumUses and NumUsers to DefUseManager
Added some helper methods for the inst to block mapping in context
Added some helper methods for specific constant types
No longer generate duplicate pointer types.
* Now searches for an existing pointer of the appropriate type instead
of failing validation
* Fixed spec constant extracts
* Addressed changes for review
* Changed RunSinglePassAndMatch to be able to run validation
* current users do not enable it
Added handling of acceptable decorations.
* Decorations are also transfered where appropriate
Refactored extension checking into FeatureManager
* Context now owns a feature manager
* consciously NOT an analysis
* added some test
* fixed some minor issues related to decorates
* added some decorate related tests for scalar replacement
This patch adds a new constant manager class to interface with
analysis::Constant. The new constant manager lives in ir::IRContext
together with the type manager (analysis::TypeManager).
The new analysis::ConstantManager is used by the spec constant folder
and the constant propagator (in progress).
Another cleanup introduced by this patch removes the ID management from
the fold spec constant pass, and ir::IRContext and moves it to
ir::Module. SSA IDs were maintained by IRContext and Module. That's
pointless and leads to mismatch IDs. Fixed by moving all the bookkeeping
to ir::Module.
Adds a pass that looks for redundant instruction in a function, and
removes them. The algorithm is a hash table based value numbering
algorithm that traverses the dominator tree.
This pass removes completely redundant instructions, not partially
redundant ones.
Support for dominator and post dominator analysis on ir::Functions. This patch contains a DominatorTree class for building the tree and DominatorAnalysis and DominatorAnalysisPass classes for interfacing and caching the built trees.
This class implements a generic value propagation algorithm based on the
conditional constant propagation algorithm proposed in
Constant propagation with conditional branches,
Wegman and Zadeck, ACM TOPLAS 13(2):181-210.
The implementation is based on
A Propagation Engine for GCC
Diego Novillo, GCC Summit 2005
http://ols.fedoraproject.org/GCC/Reprints-2005/novillo-Reprint.pdf
The purpose of this implementation is to act as a common framework for any
transformation that needs to propagate values from statements producing new
values to statements using those values.
Creates a pass that removes redundant instructions within the same basic
block. This will be implemented using a hash based value numbering
algorithm.
Added a number of functions that check for the Vulkan descriptor types.
These are used to determine if we are variables are read-only or not.
Implemented a function to check if loads and variables are read-only.
Implemented kernel specific and shader specific versions.
A big change is that the Combinator analysis in ADCE is factored out
into the IRContext as an analysis. This was done because it is being
reused in the value number table.
Works with current DefUseManager infrastructure.
Added merge return to the standard opts.
Added validation to passes.
Disabled pass for shader capabilty.
This class moves some of the CFG-related functionality into a new
class opt::CFG. There is some other code related to the CFG in the
inliner and in opt::LocalSingleStoreElimPass that should also be moved,
but that require more changes than this pure restructuring.
I will move those bits in a follow-up PR.
Currently, the CFG is computed every time a pass is instantiated, but
this should be later moved to the new IRContext class that @s-perron is
working on.
Other re-factoring:
- Add BasicBlock::ContinueBlockIdIfAny. Re-factored out of MergeBlockIdIfAny
- Rewrite IsLoopHeader in terms of GetLoopMergeInst.
- Run clang-format on some files.
This is the first part of adding the IRContext. This class is meant to
hold the extra data that is build on top of the module that it
owns.
The first part will simply create the IRContext class and get it passed
to the passes in place of the module. For now it does not have any
functionality of its own, but it acts more as a wrapper for the module.
The functions that I added to the IRContext are those that either
traverse the headers or add to them. I did this because we may decide
to have other ways of dealing with these sections (for example adding a
type pool, or use the decoration manager).
I also added the function that add to the header because the IRContext
needs to know when an instruction is added to update other data
structures appropriately.
Note that there is still lots of work that needs to be done. There are
still many places that change the module, and do not inform the context.
That will be the next step.
We want to run the optimization when using -O and -Os, but it was not
added at part of https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/pull/905.
This change will add that a well as some minor formatting changes
requested in that same pull request.
There does not seem to be any pass that remove global variables. I
think we could use one. This pass will look specifically for global
variables that are not referenced and are not exported. Any decoration
associated with the variable will also be removed. However, this could
cause types or constants to become unreferenced. They will not be
removed. Another pass will have to be called to remove those.
This is the first step in replacing the std::vector of Instruction
pointers to using and intrusive linked list.
To this end, we created the InstructionList class. It inherites from
the IntrusiveList class, but add the extra concept of ownership. An
InstructionList owns the instruction that are in it. This is to be
consistent with the current ownership rules where the vector owns the
instruction that are in it.
The other larger change is that the inst_ member of the BasicBlock class
was changed to using the InstructionList class.
Added test for the InsertBefore functions, and making sure that the
InstructionList destructor will delete the elements that it contains.
I've also add extra comments to explain ownership a little better.
- Adds a new pass CFGCleanupPass. This serves as an umbrella pass to
remove unnecessary cruft from a CFG.
- Currently, the only cleanup operation done is the removal of
unreachable basic blocks.
- Adds unit tests.
- Adds a flag to spirvopt to execute the pass (--cfg-cleanup).
There are no functional changes in this patch. The generic folding
routines in FoldSpecConstantOpAndCompositePass are now inside opt/fold.{cpp,h}.
This code will be used by the upcoming constant propagation pass. In
time, we'll add more expression folding and simplification into these
two files.
Add extra iterators for ir::Module's sections
Add extra getters to ir::Function
Add a const version of BasicBlock::GetLabelInst()
Use the max of all inputs' version as version
Split debug in debug1 and debug2
- Debug1 instructions have to be placed before debug2 instructions.
Error out if different addressing or memory models are found
Exit early if no binaries were given
Error out if entry points are redeclared
Implement copy ctors for Function and BasicBlock
- Visual Studio ends up generating copy constructors that call deleted
functions while compiling the linker code, while GCC and clang do not.
So explicitly write those functions to avoid Visual Studio messing up.

Creates a pass called eliminate dead functions that looks for functions
that could never be called, and deletes them from the module.
To support this change a new function was added to the Pass class to
traverse the call trees from diffent starting points.
Includes a test to ensure that annotations are removed when deleting a
dead function. They were not, so fixed that up as well.
Did some cleanup of the assembly for the test in pass_test.cpp. Trying
to make them smaller and easier to read.
Create a new optimization pass, strength reduction, which will replace
integer multiplication by a constant power of 2 with an equivalent bit
shift. More changes could be added later.
- Does not duplicate constants
- Adds vector |Concat| utility function to a common test header.
