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

Gina Goff, Ken Kennedy, and Chau-Wen Tseng from PLDI '91.
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.

1. In block 25, we have a Phi candidate for %f with arguments
%47 = Phi[%float_0, %0]. This merges %float_0 and a yet unknown
argument from the external loop backedge.
2. We are now processing block 34:
i. The load %35 = OpLoad %f triggers a Phi candidate to be placed in
block 31.
ii. The Phi candidate %50 = Phi needs two arguments. The one coming
from block 30 is %47. But the one coming from block 34 (which we
are now processing and have marked sealed), finds %50 itself as
the reaching def for %f.
3. This wrongfully marks %50 as a copy-of Phi, which ultimately makes
both %47 and %50 copy-of Phis that get eliminated.
Currently OpImageTexelPointer operations are treat like a use of the
pointer, but it does
not look for the memory being referenced to make sure stores are not
removed.
This change teaches it so identify the memory being accessed, and
treats it as if that memory is loaded.
Fixes to #1445.
OpImageTexelPointer acts like a special kind of load. It is not an
array load, but it also cannot be removed the same way a regular
load can. The type of propagation that needs to be done is similar
to what we do for arrays, so I want to merge that code into that
optmization.

CPPreference.com has this description of digits10:
“The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::digits10 is the number of
base-10 digits that can be represented by the type T without change,
that is, any number with this many significant decimal digits can be
converted to a value of type T and back to decimal form, without
change due to rounding or overflow.”
This means that any number with this many digits can be represented
accurately in the corresponding type. A change in any digit in a
number after that may or may not cause it a different bitwise
representation. Therefore this isn’t necessarily enough precision to
accurately represent the value in text. Instead we need max_digits10
which has the following description:
“The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::max_digits10 is the number of
base-10 digits that are necessary to uniquely represent all distinct
values of the type T, such as necessary for
serialization/deserialization to text.”
The patch includes a test case in hex_float_test which tries to do a
round-robin conversion of a number that requires more than 6 decimal
places to be accurately represented. This would fail without the
patch.
Sadly this also breaks a bunch of other tests. Some of the tests in
hex_float_test use ldexp and then compare it with a value which is not
the same as the one returned by ldexp but instead is the value rounded
to 6 decimals. Others use values that are not evenly representable as
a binary floating fraction but then happened to generate the same
value when rounded to 6 decimals. Where the actual value didn’t seem
to matter these have been changed with different values that can be
represented as a binary fraction.
When the original code copies an entire array or struct one element at a
time, this turns into a series of OpCompositeInsert instruction followed
by a store of the whole array. We currently miss opportunities in copy
propagate arrays because we do not recognize this as a copy.
This commit adds code to copy propagate arrays to identify this code
pattern.
Also updates the performance passed to run array copy propagation.
The first implementation of MemroyObject, which is used in copy
propagate arrays, forced the access chain to be like the access chains
in OpCompositeExtract. This excluded the possibility of the memory
object from representing an array element that was extracted with a
variable index. Looking at the code, that restriction is not
neccessary. I also see some opportunities for doing this in some real
shaders.
Contributes to #1430.
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.
When we change the type of an object that gets stored, we do not want to
change the type of the memory location being stored to. In order to
still be able to do the rewrite, we will decompose and rebuild the
object so it is the type that can be stored.
Fixes#1416.
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|.

This pass replaces the load/store elimination passes. It implements the

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.
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.

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.

This reimplementation fixes several issues when removing decorations associated
to an ID (partially addresses #1174 and gives tools for fixing #898), as well
as making it easier to remove groups; a few additional tests have been added.
DecorationManager::RemoveDecoration() will still not delete dead decorations it
created, but I do not think it is its job either; given the following input
```
OpCapability Shader
OpCapability Linkage
OpMemoryModel Logical GLSL450

The merging types we do not remove other information related to the
types. We simply leave it duplicated, and hope it is removed later.
This is what happens with decorations. They are removed in the next
phase of remove duplicates. However, for OpNames that is not the case.
We end up with two different names for the same id, which does not make
sense.
The solution is to remove the names and decorations for the type being
removed instead of rewriting them to refer to the other type.
Note that it is possible that if the first type does not have a name,
then the types will end up with no name. That is fine because the names
should not have any semantic significance anyway.
The was identified in issue #1372, but this does not fix that issue.
* Also mark function parameters as varying
* Conservatively mark assignment instructions as varying if any input is
varying after attempting to fold
* Added a test to catch this case
* getFloatConstantKind() now handles OpConstantNull
* PerformOperation() now handles OpConstantNull for vectors

The algorithm used in DCEInst to remove dead code is very slow. It is
fine if you only want to remove a small number of instructions, but, if
you need to remove a large number of instructions, then the algorithm in
ADCE is much faster.
This PR removes the calls to DCEInst in the load-store removal passes
and adds a pass of ADCE afterwards.
A number of different iterations of the order of optimization, and I
believe this is the best I could find.
The results I have on 3 sets of shaders are:
Legalization:
Set 1: 5.39 -> 5.01
Set 2: 13.98 -> 8.38
Set 3: 98.00 -> 96.26
Performance passes:
Set 1: 6.90 -> 5.23
Set 2: 10.11 -> 6.62
Set 3: 253.69 -> 253.74
Size reduction passes:
Set 1: 7.16 -> 7.25
Set 2: 17.17 -> 16.81
Set 3: 112.06 -> 107.71
Note that the third set's compile time is large because of the large
number of basic blocks, not so much because of the number of
instructions. That is why we don't see much gain there.

This change makes the IR builder use the type manager to generate
OpTypeInts when creating OpConstants. This avoids dangling references
being stored by the created OpConstants.
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.).
Fixes a bug at the same time. In `UpdateDefUse`, if the definition
already exists, we are not suppose to analyse it again. When you do
the entries for the definition are deleted, and we don't want that.
The check for this was wrong.
This function now checks for side-effects before adding operand
instructions to the dead instruction work list.
Because this fix puts more pressure on IsCombinatorInstruction() to
be correct, this commit adds all OpConstant* and OpType* instructions
to combinator_ops_ set.
Fixes#1341.
This change implements instruction folding for arithmetic operations
that are redundant, specifically:
x + 0 = 0 + x = x
x - 0 = x
0 - x = -x
x * 0 = 0 * x = 0
x * 1 = 1 * x = x
0 / x = 0
x / 1 = x
mix(a, b, 0) = a
mix(a, b, 1) = b
Cache ExtInst import id in feature manager
This allows us to avoid string lookups during optimization; for now we
just cache GLSL std450 import id but I can imagine caching more sets as
they become utilized by the optimizer.
Add tests for add/sub/mul/div/mix folding
The tests cover scalar float/double cases, and some vector cases.
Since most of the code for floating point folding is shared, the tests
for vector folding are not as exhaustive as scalar.
To test sub->negate folding I had to implement a custom fixture.
I mixed up two cases when folding an OpCompositeExtract that is feed by
and OpCompositeInsert. The specific cases are demonstracted in the new
test. I mixed up the conditions for the cases, and treated one like the
other.
Fixes#1323.

This change handles all 6 regular comparison types in two variations,
ordered (true if values are ordered *and* comparison is true) and
unordered (true if values are unordered *or* comparison is true).
Ordered comparison matches the default floating-point behavior on host
but we use std::isnan to check ordering explicitly anyway.
This change also slightly reworks the floating-point folding support
code to make it possible to define a folding operation that returns
boolean instead of floating point.
These tests exhaustively test ordered/unordered comparisons for
float/double.
Since for NaN inputs the comparison result doesn't depend on the
comparison function, we just test == and !=; NaN inputs result in true
unordered comparisons and false ordered comparisons.
In dead branch elimination, we already recognize unreachable continue
blocks, and update OpPhi instruction accordingly. This change adds an
extra check: if the head block has exactly 1 other incoming edge, then
replace the OpPhi with the value from that edge.
Fixes#1314.
We can fold OpSelect into one of the operands in two cases:
- condition is constant
- both results are the same
Even if the original shader doesn't have either of these, if-conversion
pass sometimes ends up generating instructions like
%7127 = OpSelect %int %3220 %7058 %7058
And this optimization cleans them up.
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.

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.

This adds Dead Insert Elimination to the end of the
--eliminate-insert-extract pass. See the new tests for examples of code
that will benefit.
Essentially, this removes OpCompositeInsert instructions which are not
used, either because there is no instruction which uses the value at the
index it is inserted, or because a subsequent insert intercepts any such
use.
This code has been seen to remove significant amounts of dead code from
real-life HLSL shaders being ported to Vulkan. In fact, it is needed to
remove dead texture samples which cause Vulkan validation layer errors
(unbound textures and samplers) if not removed . Such DCE is thus
required for fxc equivalence and legalization.
This analysis operates across "chains" of Inserts which can also contain
Phi instructions.
* 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 current folding routines have a very cumbersome interface, make them
harder to use, and not a obvious how to extend.
This change is to create a new interface for the folding routines, and
show how it can be used by calling it from CCP.
This does not make a significant change to the behaviour of CCP. In
general it should produce the same code as before; however it is
possible that an instruction that takes 32-bit integers as inputs and
the result is not a 32-bit integer or bool will not be folded as before.
It seems like andriod has a problem with INT32_MAX and the like. I'll
explicitly define those if the are not already defined.
The class factorize the instruction building process.
Def-use manager analysis can be updated on the fly to maintain coherency.

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.
At the moment specialization constants look like constants to ccp. This
causes a problem because they are handled differently by the constant
manager.
I choose to simply skip over them, and not try to add them to the value
table. We can do specialization before ccp if we want to be able to
propagate these values.
Fixes#1199.
The current code expects the users of the constant manager to initialize
it with all of the constants in the module. The problem is that you do
not want to redo the work multiple times. So I decided to move that
code to the constructor of the constant manager. This way it will
always be initialized on first use.
I also removed an assert that expects all constant instructions to be
successfully mapped. This is because not all OpConstant* instruction
can map to a constant, and neither do the OpSpecConstant* instructions.
The real problem is that an OpConstantComposite can contain a member
that is OpUndef. I tried to treat OpUndef like OpConstantNull, but this
failed because an OpSpecConstantComposite with an OpUndef cannot be
changed to an OpConstantComposite. Since I feel this case will not be
common, I decided to not complicate the code.
Fixes#1193.

This improves Extract replacement to continue through VectorShuffle.
It will also handle Mix with 0.0 or 1.0 in the a-value of the desired
component.
To facilitate optimization of VectorShuffle, the algorithm was refactored
to pass around the indices of the extract in a vector rather than pass the
extract instruction itself. This allows the indices to be modified as the
algorithm progresses.
Modified ADCE to remove dead globals.
* Entry point and execution mode instructions are marked as alive

Added handling of decoration groups in ADCE
* Uses a custom sorter to traverse decorations in a specific order
* Simplifies necessary checks
Updated -O and -Os pass lists.
Pass now paints live blocks and fixes constant branches and switches as
it goes. No longer requires structured control flow. It also removes
unreachable blocks as a side effect. It fixes the IR (phis) before doing
any code removal (other than terminator changes).
Added several unit tests for updated/new functionality.
Does not remove dead edge from a phi node:
* Checks that incoming edges are live in order to retain them
* Added BasicBlock::IsSuccessor
* added test
Fixing phi updates in the presence of extra backedge blocks
* Added tests to catch bug
Reworked how phis are updated
* Instead of creating a new Phi and RAUW'ing the old phi with it, I now
replace the phi operands, but maintain the def/use manager correctly.
For unreachable merge:
* When considering unreachable continue blocks the code now properly
checks whether the incoming edge will continue to be live.
Major refactoring for review
* Broke into 4 major functions
