[llvm-dev] Reaching definitions on Machine IR post register allocation
Hi Venu, This is happening because there is an implicit def of ECX on the COPY instruction. This was an issue on Hexagon as well. Let me give you some background. There are two kinds of implicit defs (and implicit uses, but I'll refer only to defs for brevity): (1) Those that indicate that some physical register (that is not an operand) is modified by a given instruction (EFLAGS is a good example on X86). (2) Those that are there for the purpose of tracking liveness, such as the one on the COPY instruction here. The first kind is strictly necessary (or otherwise, some physical register modifications would not be reflected in the code), but the second kind is only there to assist with liveness tracking: if register liveness was no longer tracked, these implicit defs/uses could be removed and everything would be fine. The first kind of implicit defs would have to stay regardless of whether we're still interested in liveness or not. Having the second kind of implicit defs around will pessimize many things (like scheduling, for example), because the general algorithms that detect dependency between instructions will take the implicit defs into account. For example, instructions modifying AL and AH will appear to be dependent if they have implicit defs of AX/EAX, even though AL and AH do not overlap. This was a big problem on Hexagon, and the original RDF implementation ignored the second kind of implicit defs/uses, only paying attention to the first. Later on, subregister liveness tracking was enabled on Hexagon, which got rid of the second kind of implicit defs/uses altogether. After that, RDF was changed to no longer ignore any implicit operands: this happened in r300369. Since X86 does not use subregister liveness tracking, it still has the extra implicit operands. I don't know whether it has any special treatment of these to avoid the dependency issues, but the presence of these will reduce the precision of RDF. You can try to revert r300369 and see if it helps. It won't hurt Hexagon, so if helps X86, we could consider bringing that code back. -Krzysztof On 11/10/2017 6:52 AM, Raghavan, Venugopal via llvm-dev wrote:> Hi, > > For a test case that I ran I am seeing something in the RDF graph that I > do not quite understand.

[llvm-dev] Reaching definitions on Machine IR post register allocation
Hi Krzysztof, Thanks for the reply. Since a data flow edge is missing, I thought that it could be a correctness issue and not just a precision issue. But, on second thoughts, maybe it isn't because the edge from the implicit def to the use is present and the register associated with this edge covers the register associated with the missing edge. I will try to revert the patch you mentioned and check if the precision issue is fixed. I am seeing some other failure in a test case after RDF copy propagation for X86 code and I was attributing it to this missing edge, but, I guess there is some other issue which I will try to debug. Thanks. Regards, Venu.

[llvm-dev] Reaching definitions on Machine IR post register allocation
Hi Krzysztof, In one of your earlier emails in this thread you mentioned that you had some changes which add extra aliases for subregisters. Did you mean for X86? And is it extra register units that you added or aliases? I tried adding extra register units for X86 through some changes in CodeGenRegisters.cpp in TableGen but I am seeing a runtime error in one of my test cases possibly due to the fact that my change is incorrect or incomplete. Apart from adding extra register units, do you need to do anything else? If you have the changes you made, I would be grateful if you can share it. Thanks. Regards, Venu.
