* Create a new entry point for the optimizer
Creates a new struct to hold the options for the optimizer, and creates
an entry point that take the optimizer options as a parameter.
The old entry point that takes validator options are now deprecated.
The validator options will be one of the optimizer options.
Part of the optimizer options will also be the upper bound on the id bound.
* Add a command line option to set the max value for the id bound. The default is 0x3FFFFF.
* Modify `TakeNextIdBound` to return 0 when the limit is reached.
This forks the testing harness from https://github.com/google/shaderc
to allow testing CLI tools.
New features needed for SPIRV-Tools include:
1- A new PlaceHolder subclass for spirv shaders. This place holder
calls spirv-as to convert assembly input into SPIRV bytecode. This is
required for most tools in SPIRV-Tools.
2- A minimal testing file for testing basic functionality of spirv-opt.
Add tests for all flags in spirv-opt.
1. Adds tests to check that known flags match the names that each pass
advertises.
2. Adds tests to check that -O, -Os and --legalize-hlsl schedule the
expected passes.
3. Adds more functionality to Expect classes to support regular
expression matching on stderr.
4. Add checks for integer arguments to optimization flags.
5. Fixes#1817 by modifying the parsing of integer arguments in
flags that take them.
6. Fixes -Oconfig file parsing (#1778). It reads every line of the file
into a string and then parses that string by tokenizing every group of
characters between whitespaces (using the standard cin reading
operator). This mimics shell command-line parsing, but it does not
support quoting (and I'm not planning to).
The code in source/message was only used in a single set of tests to
format the output results. This CL changes the test to verify the
message instead of all the error values and removes the source/message
code.
* Run the validator in the optimization fuzzers.
The optimizers assumes that the input to the optimizer is valid. Since
the fuzzers do not check that the input is valid before passing the
spir-v to the optimizer, we are getting a few errors.
The solution is to run the validator in the optimizer to validate the
input.
For the legalization passes, we need to add an extra option to the
validator to accept certain types of variable pointers, even if the
capability is not given. At the same time, we changed the option
"--legalize-hlsl" to relax the validator in the same way instead of
turning it off.
* 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

This re-implements the -Oconfig=<file> flag to use a new API that takes
a list of command-line flags representing optimization passes.
This moves the processing of flags that create new optimization passes
out of spirv-opt and into the library API. Useful for other tools that
want to incorporate a facility similar to -Oconfig.
The main changes are:
1- Add a new public function Optimizer::RegisterPassesFromFlags. This
takes a vector of strings. Each string is assumed to have the form
'--pass_name[=pass_args]'. It creates and registers into the pass
manager all the passes specified in the vector. Each pass is
validated internally. Failure to create a pass instance causes the
function to return false and a diagnostic is emitted to the
registered message consumer.
2- Re-implements -Oconfig in spirv-opt to use the new API.
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.
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 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.
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 patch adds a new option --time-report to spirv-opt. For each pass
executed by spirv-opt, the flag prints resource utilization for the pass
(CPU time, wall time, RSS and page faults)
This fixes issue #1378
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).
We are seeing shaders that have multiple returns in a functions. These
functions must get inlined for legalization purposes; however, the
inliner does not know how to inline functions that have multiple
returns.
The solution we will go with it to improve the merge return pass to
handle structured control flow.
Note that the merge return pass will assume the cfg has been cleanedup
by dead branch elimination.
Fixes#857.
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
The default target is SPIR-V 1.3.
For example, spirv-as will generate a SPIR-V 1.3 binary by default.
Use command line option "--target-env spv1.0" if you want to make a SPIR-V
1.0 binary or validate against SPIR-V 1.0 rules.
Example:
# Generate a SPIR-V 1.0 binary instead of SPIR-V 1.3
spirv-as --target-env spv1.0 a.spvasm -o a.spv
spirv-as --target-env vulkan1.0 a.spvasm -o a.spv
# Validate as SPIR-V 1.0.
spirv-val --target-env spv1.0 a.spv
# Validate as Vulkan 1.0
spirv-val --target-env vulkan1.0 a.spv
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.
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.
Adds optimizer API to write disassembly to a given output stream
before each pass, and after the last pass.
Adds spirv-opt --print-all option to write disassembly to stderr
before each pass, and after the last pass.
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.
* changed the way duplicate types are removed to stop copying
instructions
* Reworked RemoveDuplicatesPass::AreTypesSame to use type manager and
type equality
* Reworked TypeManager memory management to store a pool of unique
pointers of types
* removed unique pointers from id map
* fixed instances where free'd memory could be accessed
Changes the set of optimizations done for legalization. While doing
this, I added documentation to explain why we want each optimization.
A new option "--legalize-hlsl" is added so the legalization passes can
be easily run from the command line.
The legalize option implies skip-validation.
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
The option --skip-validation is added. When used it will skip the
validation step.
Also rearranged the help text to fix two options that are out of order.
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.
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.
There are a number of users of spriv-opt that are hitting errors
because of stores with different types. In general, this is wrong, but,
in these cases, the types are the exact same except for decorations.
The options is "--relax-store-struct", and it can be used with the
validator or the optimizer.
We assume that if layout information is missing it is consistent. For
example if one struct has a offset of one of its members, and the other
one does not, we will still consider them as being layout compatible.
The problem will be if both struct has and offset decoration for
corresponding members, and the offset are different.
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.
- 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).
These flags are expanded to a series of spirv-opt flags with the
following semantics:
-O: expands to passes that attempt to improve the performance of the
generated code.
-Os: expands to passes that attempt to reduce the size of the generated
code.
-Oconfig=<file> expands to the sequence of passes determined by the
flags specified in the user-provided file.
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.
