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.
* Moved initial insert/extract passes later to cover more opportunities
* Added an extra set of passes to clean up opportunities exposed later
in the pipeline
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.
With work that Alan has done, some passes have become redundant. ADCE
now removed unused variables. Dead branch elimination removes
unreachable blocks. This means we can remove CFG Cleanup and dead
variable elimination.
Modified ADCE to remove dead globals.
* Entry point and execution mode instructions are marked as alive
* Reachable functions and their parameters are marked as alive
* Instruction deletion now deferred until the end of the pass
* Eliminated dead insts set, added IsDead to calculate that value
instead
* Ported applicable dead variable elimination tests
* Ported dead constant elim tests
Added dead function elimination to ADCE
* ported dead function elim tests
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.
This fixes https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/1143.
When an instruction transitions from constant to bottom (varying) in the
lattice, we were telling the propagator that the instruction was
varying, but never updating the actual value in the values table.
This led to incorrect value substitutions at the end of propagation.
The patch also re-enables CCP in -O and -Os.
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.
I've a few passes the legalization passes. The first is to add the
more specialized load-store removal passes to help improve the compile
time, as was suggested in #1118.
I've also added dead branch elimination while we wait for the behaviour
of dead branch elimination to be folded into CFG cleanup.
I did not add CCP because it seems like most of the constant propagation
what is needed is already being done by the load-store removal passes,
which call `ReplaceAllUsesWith`. We can reconsider this if needed.
In CCP we should not need to insert Phi nodes because CCP never looks at
loads/stores. This required adjusting two tests that relied on Phi
instructions being inserted. I changed the tests to have the Phi
instructions pre-inserted.
I also added a new test to make sure that CCP does not try to look
through stores and loads.
Finally, given that CCP does not handle loads/stores, it's better to run
mem2reg before it. I've changed the -O/-Os schedules to run local
multi-store elimination before CCP.
Although this is just an efficiency fix for CCP, it is
also working around a bug in Phi insertion. When Phi instructions are
inserted, they are never associated a basic block. This causes a
segfault when the propagator tries to lookup CFG edges when analyzing
Phi instructions.
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.
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.
types. This allows the lookup of type declaration ids from arbitrarily
constructed types. Users should be cautious when dealing with non-unique
types (structs and potentially pointers) to get the exact id if
necessary.
* Changed the spec composite constant folder to handle ambiguous composites
* Added functionality to create necessary instructions for a type
* Added ability to remove ids from 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
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.
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
Works with current DefUseManager infrastructure.
Added merge return to the standard opts.
Added validation to passes.
Disabled pass for shader capabilty.
This change will move the instances of the def-use manager to the
IRContext. This allows it to persists across optimization, and does
not have to be rebuilt multiple times.
Added test to ensure that the IRContext is validating and invalidating
the analyses correctly.
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.
- 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.
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.
Only inline calls to functions with opaque params or return
TODO: Handle parameter type or return type where the opqaue
type is buried within an array.
- UniformElim: Only process reachable blocks
- UniformElim: Don't reuse loads of samplers and images across blocks.
Added a second phase which only reuses loads within a block for samplers
and images.
- UniformElim: Upgrade CopyObject skipping in GetPtr
- UniformElim: Add extensions whitelist
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.
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.
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.
