3b594e1630 Add --time-report to spirv-opt
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

735d8a579e SSA rewrite pass.
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.
     Braun M., Buchwald S., Hack S., Leißa R., Mallon C., Zwinkau A. (2013)
     In: Jhala R., De Bosschere K. (eds)
     Compiler Construction. CC 2013.
     Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 7791.

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).

b3daa93b46 Change merge return pass to handle structured cfg.
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.

1ef6b19260 Migrate to use unified grammar tables
Previously we keep a separate static grammar table for opcodes/
operands per SPIR-V version. This commit changes that to use a
single unified static grammar table for opcodes/operands.

This essentially changes how grammar facts are queried against
a certain target environment. There are only limited filtering
according to the desired target environment; a symbol is
considered as available as long as:

1. The target environment satisfies the minimal requirement of
   the symbol; or
2. There is at least one extension enabling this symbol.

Note that the second rule assumes the extension enabling the
symbol is indeed requested in the SPIR-V code; checking that
should be the validator's work.

Also fixed a few grammar related issues:
* Rounding mode capability requirements are moved to client APIs.
* Reserved symbols not available in any extension is no longer
  recognized by assembler.

844e186cf7 Add --strip-reflect pass
Strips reflection info. This is limited to decorations and
decoration instructions related to the SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1

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.

00fa39318f Support SPIR-V 1.3 and Vulkan 1.1
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

dd8400e150 Initial support for loop unrolling.
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.

06cdb96984 Make use of the instruction folder.
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.

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.

34d4294c2c Create a pass to work around a driver bug related to OpUnreachable.
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.

1b6cfd3409 Rewriting dead branch elimination.
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
 * marking live blocks
 * marking structured targets
 * fixing phis
 * deleting blocks

7183ad526e Linker code cleanups
Turn `Linker::Link()` into free functions

  As very little information was kept in the Linker class, we can get rid
  of the whole class and have the `Link()` as free functions instead; the
  environment target as well as the consumer are passed along through an
  `spv_context` object.
  The resulting linked_binary is passed as a pointer rather than a
  reference to follow the Google C++ Style guidelines.

  Addresses remaining comments from
  https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/pull/693 about the SPIR-V
  linker.

Fix variable naming in the linker

  Some of the variables were using mixed case, which did not follow the
  Google C++ Style guidelines.

Linker: Use EXPECT_EQ when possible and update some test

* Replace occurrences of ASSERT_EQ by EXPECT_EQ when possible;
* Reformulated some of the error messages;
* Added the symbol name in the error message when there is a type or
  decoration mismatch between the imported and exported declarations.

Opt: List all duplicates removed by RemoveDuplicatePass in the header

Opt: Make the const version of GetLabelInst() return a pointer

  For consistency with the non-const version, as well as other similar
  functions.

Opt: Rename function_end to EndInst()

  As pointed out by dneto0 the previous name was quite confusing and could
  be mistaken with a function returning an end iterator.
  Also change the return type of the const version to a pointer rather
  than a reference, for consistency.

Opt: Add performance comment to RemoveDuplicateTypes and decorations

  This comment was requested during the review of
  https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/pull/693.

Opt: Add comments and fix variable naming in RemoveDuplicatePass

* Add missing comments to private functions;
* Rename variables that were using mixed case;
* Add TODO for moving AreTypesEqual out.

Linker: Remove commented out code and add TODOs

Linker: Merged together strings that were too much splitted

4ba9dcc8a0 Implement SSA CCP (SSA Conditional Constant Propagation).
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.

79a00649b4 Allow pointers to pointers in logical addressing mode.
A few optimizations are updates to handle code that is suppose to be
using the logical addressing mode, but still has variables that contain
pointers as long as the pointer are to opaque objects.  This is called
"relaxed logical addressing".

|Instruction::GetBaseAddress| will check that pointers that are use meet
the relaxed logical addressing rules.  Optimization that now handle
relaxed logical addressing instead of logical addressing are:

 - aggressive dead-code elimination
 - local access chain convert
 - local store elimination passes.

b86eb6842b Convert private variables to function scope.
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.

a771713e42 Adding an unique id to Instruction generated by IRContext
Each instruction is given an unique id that can be used for ordering
purposes. The ids are generated via the IRContext.

Major changes:
* Instructions now contain a uint32_t for unique id and a cached context
pointer
 * Most constructors have been modified to take a context as input
 * unfortunately I cannot remove the default and copy constructors, but
 developers should avoid these
* Added accessors to parents of basic block and function
* Removed the copy constructors for BasicBlock and Function and replaced
them with Clone functions
* Reworked BuildModule to return an IRContext owning the built module
 * Since all instructions require a context, the context now becomes the
basic unit for IR
* Added a constructor to context to create an owned module internally
* Replaced uses of Instruction's copy constructor with Clone whereever I
found them
* Reworked the linker functionality to perform clones into a different
context instead of moves
* Updated many tests to be consistent with the above changes
 * Still need to add new tests to cover added functionality
* Added comparison operators to Instruction
* Added an internal option to LinkerOptions to verify merged ids are
unique
* Added a test for the linker to verify merged ids are unique

* Updated MergeReturnPass to supply a context
* Updated DecorationManager to supply a context for cloned decorations

* Reworked several portions of the def use tests in anticipation of next
set of changes

716138ee14 Add option to relax validation of store types.
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.

  Currently disallowing SPV_KHR_variable_pointers because it doesn't
  handle extended pointer forms.

- UniformElim: Do not process shaders with GroupDecorate

- UniformElim: Bail on shaders with non-32-bit ints.

- UniformElim: Document support for only single index and add TODO.

9de4e69856 Add AggressiveDCEPass
Create aggressive dead code elimination pass
This pass eliminates unused code from functions. In addition,
it detects and eliminates code which may have spurious uses but which do
not contribute to the output of the function. The most common cause of
such code sequences is summations in loops whose result is no longer used
due to dead code elimination. This optimization has additional compile
time cost over standard dead code elimination.

This pass only processes entry point functions. It also only processes
shaders with logical addressing. It currently will not process functions
with function calls. It currently only supports the GLSL.std.450 extended
instruction set. It currently does not support any extensions.

This pass will be made more effective by first running passes that remove
dead control flow and inlines function calls.

This pass can be especially useful after running Local Access Chain
Conversion, which tends to cause cycles of dead code to be left after
Store/Load elimination passes are completed. These cycles cannot be
eliminated with standard dead code elimination.

Additionally: This transform uses a whitelist of instructions that it
knows do have side effects, (a.k.a. combinators).  It assumes other
instructions have side effects: it will not remove them, and assumes
they have side effects via their ID operands.

cc8bad3a5b Add LocalMultiStoreElim pass
A SSA local variable load/store elimination pass.
For every entry point function, eliminate all loads and stores of function
scope variables only referenced with non-access-chain loads and stores.
Eliminate the variables as well.

The presence of access chain references and function calls can inhibit
the above optimization.

Only shader modules with logical addressing are currently processed.
Currently modules with any extensions enabled are not processed. This
is left for future work.

This pass is most effective if preceeded by Inlining and
LocalAccessChainConvert. LocalSingleStoreElim and LocalSingleBlockElim
will reduce the work that this pass has to do.
