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.
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)
* Had to remove templating from InstructionBuilder as a result
* now preserved analyses are specified as a constructor argument
* updated tests and uses
* changed static_assert to a runtime assert
* this should probably get further changes in the future
* 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
The class factorize the instruction building process.
Def-use manager analysis can be updated on the fly to maintain coherency.
To be updated to take into account more analysis.
