[LLVMdev] Embedding cpu and feature strings into IR and enabling switching subtarget on a per function basis
I've been investigating what is needed to ensure command line options are passed to the backend codegen passes during LTO and enable compiling different functions in a module with different command line options (see the links below for previous discussions). http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/78855 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/80456 The command line options I'm currently looking into are "-target-cpu" and "-target-feature" and I would like to get feedback about the approach I've taken (patches attached). The attached patches make the following changes: - In TargetMachine::getSubtarget(const Function*) and MachineFunction's constructor, use per-function subtarget object instead of TargetMachine's (module-level) subtarget object. This allows passes like selection dag to switch the target on a per-function basis. - Define class TargetOptions::Option, which records whether an option has appeared on the command line along with the option's value. Long term, this might not be the best solution and I expect it will be modified or replaced when the new command line infrastructure becomes available. - Fix X86's subtarget lookup to override the function attributes if the corresponding options were specified on the command line. - FIx clang to embed "-target-cpu" and "-target-feature" attributes in the IR. I've tested the changes I made and confirmed that target options such as "-mavx2" don't get dropped during LTO and are honored by backend codegen passes. This is my plan for the remaining tasks: 1. FIx other in-tree targets and other code-gen passes that are still using TargetMachine's subtarget where the per-function subtarget should be used. 2. Fix TargetTransformInfo to compute the various code-gen costs accurately when subtarget is switched on a per-function basis. One way to do this is to make the pointer or reference to the Function object available to the various subclasses of TargetTransformInfo by defining the necessary functions in FunctionTargetTransformInfo (similar to the changes made in r218004). However, passes like Inliner that are not function passes cannot access FunctionTargetTransformInfo, so it has to be done in a different way. 3. Forbid inlining functions that have incompatible cpu and feature attributes. It seems the simplest approach is to allow inlining only if the cpu and feature attributes match exactly, but it's also possible to relax this restriction. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[LLVMdev] Embedding cpu and feature strings into IR and enabling switching subtarget on a per function basis
Hi Akira, Your patches are doing some of the things that are currently in progress, see the recent patches I've been applying in an attempt to untangle all of this. FWIW the clang patch can be done about like this I believe (at least this is the working code I've been using): + // Add target-cpu and target-features work if they differ from the defaults. + // FIXME: Triple: x86_64-* versus CPU x86-64. + std::string &CPU = getTarget().getTargetOpts().CPU; + if (CPU != "" && CPU != getTarget().getTriple().getArchName()) + FuncAttrs.addAttribute("target-cpu", getTarget().getTargetOpts().CPU); + + std::vector<std::string> &Features + getTarget().getTargetOpts().FeaturesAsWritten; + if (!Features.empty()) { + std::stringstream S; + std::copy(Features.begin(), Features.end(), + std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(S, " ")); + // The drop_back gets rid of the trailing space. + FuncAttrs.addAttribute("target-features", + StringRef(S.str()).drop_back(1)); + } The first step is to remove all uses of the module level subtarget aspect. I've got the outline for this already done for various targets. The next step is to remove the use of getSubtargetImpl() and getSubtarget<>() and replace them with the ones that take the Functions. Part of your patch does this and is a reasonable first start to get things started (though not acceptable to go in as yet). Migrating things to FunctionTargetTransformInfo where applicable (i.e. anything that uses the stashed TargetLowering instance) would be a good start for you. Until then we can't go forward with the rest of the work. Your assistance is welcome in untangling the various bits of the infrastructure. I can highlight additional areas if you'd like. -eric On Mon Jan 26 2015 at 4:28:41 PM Akira Hatanaka <ahatanak at gmail.com> wrote:> I've been investigating what is needed to ensure command line options are > passed to the backend codegen passes during LTO and enable compiling > different functions in a module with different command line options (see > the links below for previous discussions). > > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/78855 > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/80456 > > The command line options I'm currently looking into are "-target-cpu" and > "-target-feature" and I would like to get feedback about the approach I've > taken (patches attached). > > The attached patches make the following changes: > > - In TargetMachine::getSubtarget(const Function*) and MachineFunction's > constructor, use per-function subtarget object instead of TargetMachine's > (module-level) subtarget object.

[LLVMdev] Embedding cpu and feature strings into IR and enabling switching subtarget on a per function basis
Hi Akira, A bit of a follow up to my earlier email with some review on the patches themselves. Some of them I think are good and some I think need some thought. + Options.CPUStr = MCPU; + Options.FeaturesStr = MAttrs; I'd definitely like to avoid having the CPU and Feature string on TargetOptions. Ideally the only things that are going to be on there are global options that can't be anywhere else - and I'd really like to investigate module flags here as well. I know we've had some discussion on that, and I've got my own opinions, but in general anything that's per function needs to be kept on the functions and anything that's general should be kept on the module. + template <typename STC> const STC &getSubtarget(const Function *F) const { + return *static_cast<const STC*>(getSubtargetImpl(*F)); Right. Though you missed getSubtargetImpl above, etc. A lot of the passes and backends use it rather than the other way around. I'm pulling them out and more help is definitely good. As I said in my first email perhaps the TTI->FTTI transition is a good place to start working here without having to worry much about redoing huge swaths of llvm. - : Fn(F), Target(TM), STI(TM.getSubtargetImpl()), Ctx(mmi.getContext()), + : Fn(F), Target(TM), STI(TM.getSubtargetImpl(*F)), Ctx(mmi.getContext()), This is obviously fine, but I've been avoiding this so that we don't have partial implementations in flight. I.e. if you do this then code that looks like what we want in the future will start being ... halfway code generated. + // Find the first function defined in the module and copy the cpu and + // feature string to Options. Very much against this. // FIXME: This should stop caching the target machine as soon as // we can remove resetOperationActions et al. -X86TargetLowering::X86TargetLowering(const X86TargetMachine &TM) - : TargetLowering(TM) { - Subtarget = &TM.getSubtarget<X86Subtarget>(); +X86TargetLowering::X86TargetLowering(const X86TargetMachine &TM, + const X86Subtarget *ST) + : TargetLowering(TM), Subtarget(ST) { If we get rid of resetOperationActions then we don't need to do this and it only takes the X86Subtarget here. - : LLVMTargetMachine(T, TT, CPU, FS, Options, RM, CM, OL), + : LLVMTargetMachine(T, TT, Options.CPUStr.val(), Options.FeaturesStr.val(), + Options, RM, CM, OL), TLOF(createTLOF(Triple(getTargetTriple()))), DL(computeDataLayout(Triple(TT))), - Subtarget(TT, CPU, FS, *this, Options.StackAlignmentOverride) { + Subtarget(TT, Options.CPUStr, Options.FeaturesStr, *this, + Options.StackAlignmentOverride) { Again, I don't think this is the right way to go. The default CPU and FS can quite easily just be what's default in the module, there's no need to do this. Anyhow, it's definitely the direction I've been headed, I think there's some disconnect on how various things related to options should go and there's a lot of work that can be done in the meantime. I'll see what I can do to write up a more detailed plan of attack and start listing good places to start working on this (or complicated and hard ones if you'd like, there are a few of those left as well!)

This is probably the correct thing to do. I wonder whether these attributes should be added to function declarations, but that's another discussion. Another difference is that this is passing TargetOptions::FeaturesAsWritten to the IR instead of TargetOptions::Features. Since TargetOptions::Features is passed to createTargetMachine in EmitAssemblyHelper::CreateTargetMachine (and eventually passed to subtarget constructor), I was thinking TargetOptions::Features should be written to the IR so that it can be used later to construct per-function subtarget objects.

The code which does subtarget lookup in X86TargetMachine::getSubtargetImpl(const Function&) in won't pick the CPU string in TargetOptions if there is a function attribute "target-cpu" in the IR. This means if you try to compile an IR that has function attribute "target-cpu" == "cpu1" with command "llc -mcpu=cpu2 ...", "cpu1" will be used to construct subtarget, and that's not what users of llc expect (at least that's my understanding). The TargetOptions::Option class has a bit to indicate whether the command line options was specified, which enables the function attribute to be overridden (see function llvm::getFnAttributeVal in the patch). + template <typename STC> const STC &getSubtarget(const Function *F) const> { > + return *static_cast<const STC*>(getSubtargetImpl(*F)); > > Right.

[LLVMdev] Embedding cpu and feature strings into IR and enabling switching subtarget on a per function basis
Yes, I believe float ABI will be discussed later. I'm choosing a few options at a time from the list (see the file attached to PR21471) and trying to understand what changes are necessary to pass down the options to the backend for LTO and also enable compiling function with different options.
