Fix performance problems with Ptr
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
LLVM is unhappy with the way we treat `Ptr` currently, causing pretty terrible
performance for ReinterpretArray. This patch does a few things to help LLVM along.

- Stop folding a bitcast into load/store instructions. LLVM's mem2reg pass only
  works if the load/store instructions are the direct arguments of load/store
  instructions.
- Several minor cleanups of the generated IR.
- Emit pointer additions as getelemtptr rather than in the integer domain. Getelementptr
  has aliasing implications that the raw integer addition doesn't have (in essence,
  with getelemenptr, it is clear which of the operands is the pointer and which is
  the offset). This does mean significantly more inttoptr/ptrtoint casting, but
  instcombine will happily fold them (though it does make mem2reg more important so
  instcombine can be effective). At the implementation level, this is accomplished
  through through two new intrinsics for pointer addition and subtraction.
- An LLVM patch to mem2reg that allows it to handle memcpy instructions. Since we emit
  variable assignment as memcpy, this allows mem2reg to fold many of these. As mentioned,
  this is important to allow instcombine to fold all the inttoptr/ptrtoint pairs in
  order to allow follow-on optimizations to actually analyze the pointers.

Subject: [PATCH] [Mem2Reg] Also handle memcpy

Summary:
In julia, when we know we're moving data between two memory locations,
we always emit that as a memcpy rather than a load/store pair. However,
this can give worse optimization results in certain cases because some
optimizations that can handle load/store pairs cannot handle memcpys.
Mem2reg is one of these optimizations. This patch adds rudamentary
support for mem2reg for recognizing memcpys that cover the whole alloca
we're promoting. While several more sophisticated passes (SROA, GVN)
can get similar optimizations, it is preferable to have these kinds
of cases caught early to expose optimization opportunities before
getting to these later passes. The approach taken here is to split
the memcpy into a load/store pair early (after legality analysis)
and retain the rest of the analysis only on loads/stores. It would
be possible of course to leave the memcpy as is and generate the
left over load or store only on demand. However, that would entail
a significantly larger patch for unclear benefit.
