[LLVMdev] [RFC] AArch64: Should we disable GlobalMerge?

Hi all,

I've started looking at the GlobalMerge pass, enabled by default on
ARM and AArch64.  I think we should reconsider that, at least for
AArch64.

As is, the pass just merges all globals together, in groups of 4KB
(AArch64, 128B on ARM).

At the time it was enabled, the general thinking was "it's almost
free, it doesn't affect performance much, we might as well use it".
Now, it's preventing some link-time optimizations (as acknowledged in
one of the FIXMEs).


-- Performance impact
Overall, it isn't that profitable on the test-suite, and actually
degrades performance on a lot of other - "non-benchmark" - projects I
tried (where the main reason to use a global is file- or function-
static variables, only accessed through a single getter function).

Across several runs on the entire test-suite, when disabling the pass,
I measured:
without LTO, a -0.19% geomean improvement
with LTO, a +0.11% geomean regression.

As for just SPEC2006, there are two big regressions: 400.perlbench
(10.6% w/ LTO, 2.7% w/o) and 471.omnetpp (2.3% w/, 3.9% w/o).

Numbers are attached.


-- A way forward
One obvious way to improve it is: look at uses of globals, and try to
form sets of globals commonly used together.  The tricky part is to
define heuristics for "commonly".  Also, the pass then becomes much
more expensive.  I'm currently looking into improving it, and will
report if I come up with a good solution.  But this shouldn't stop us
from disabling it, for now.

Also, the pass seems like a good candidate for
-O3/CodeGenOpt::Aggressive.  However, the latter is implied by LTO,
which IMO shouldn't include these not-always-profitable optimizations.
That's another problem though.



Right now, I think we should disable the pass by default, until it's
deemed profitable enough.

[LLVMdev] [RFC] AArch64: Should we disable GlobalMerge?

Hi Ahmed,

Did you run these experiments on a platform with a linker that makes
use of the AArch64CollectLOH-pass-produced information?
I'm guessing that the AArch64CollectLOH-pass information and a linker
that makes use of that information could affect the profitability of
the GlobalMerge pass?

Thanks,

Kristof

Hi Ahmed,

Before "moving forward", it would be good to understand what in
GlobalMerge is impacting what in LTO.

With LTO becoming more important nowadays, I agree we have to balance
the compiler optimisations to work well with it, but by turning things
off we might be impacting unknown code in an unknown way.

We'll never know how unknown code behaves, but if at least we
understand what of GM affects what of LTO, then people using unknown
code will have a more informed view on what to disable, when.

cheers,

[LLVMdev] [RFC] AArch64: Should we disable GlobalMerge?

Hi Ahmed,

Yes. I'd share with Kristof and Renato's concerns, and the
impact/dependence upon link-time tool should be clarified before disabling
this pass.

On the other hand, actually the test on our hardware shows disabling this
pass without LTO considered, some spec benchmarks would have big
regressions, (positive is bad)

spec.cpu2000.ref.253_perlbmk 3.27%
spec.cpu2000.ref.254_gap 3.18%

although I do see some improvements like below, (negative is good)

spec.cpu2006.ref.400_perlbench -1.90%
spec.cpu2006.ref.471_omnetpp -1.64%
spec.cpu2006.ref.482_sphinx3 -1.03%

Thanks,
-Jiangning

Fair enough.  First, a couple things to note:
- GlobalMerge runs as a pre-ISel pass, so very late in the mid-level pipeline.
- GlobalMerge (by default) only looks at internal globals.

Internal globals come up with file- or function- static variables.  In
LTO, all module-level globals are internalized, and are eligible for
merging.

So, we can generally group global usage into a few categories:
- a function that uses a local static variable (say, llvm::outs())
- a function that uses several globals at once.  For instance,
400.perlbench's interpreter has a bunch of those, as does its
parser/lexer.
- a set of functions that share a few common globals (say, an inlined
reference to a function-local static variable), but otherwise each use
several other globals (again, perl's interpreter).

GlobalMerge is only ever a win if we are able to share base pointers.
This requires:
- several globals being referenced
- the references being close enough (otherwise we'll just
rematerialize the base, or worse, increase register pressure)

There is one obvious special case for the first requirement:  if a
global is only ever used alone, there's no point in merging it
anywhere. (this is improvement #1).
Once we can determine the set of used globals for each function, we
can try to merge those sets only. (#2)

We can try to better handle the second requirement, by having some
more precise metric for distance between uses.  One trivially
available such metric is grouping used sets by parent basic-block
rather than function (#3).

Experimentally, #1 catches a lot of the singleton-ish globals out
there, which is the majority in some of the more "modern" code
I've
looked at.  It leaves the legitimate merging in perl alone.

#2 (and even moreso #3) is actually too aggressive, and doesn't catch
a lot/most of the profitable cases in perl.  Consider:
- a "g_log" global (or, say, LLVM's outs/dbgs/errs), used pretty
much everywhere
- several sets of globals, used in different parts of the program
(perl's interpreter vs parser)

You'd pick one of the latter sets, and add the "g_log" global to
it.
Now you made it more expensive everywhere you use "g_log", without the
benefit of base sharing in all the other functions.

So you need to be smart when picking the sets.  You can combine some
of them, using some cost metric.  (#4)  This is where it gets
complicated.

I'll try measuring some of those, see what happens on benchmarks.
Again, that shouldn't stop us from enabling GlobalMerge less often.
Hopefully it's clear that the pass isn't always a win, so -O3 should
be OK.  I'm less comfortable with disabling it on Darwin only, but
that seems like the obvious next step.

Thanks for the feedback!
