similar to: [LLVMdev] Stack alignment on X86 AVX seems incorrect

This is the wrong code: declare <16 x float> @foo(<16 x float>) define <16 x float> @test(<16 x float> %x, <16 x float> %y) nounwind { entry: %x1 = fadd <16 x float> %x, %y %call = call <16 x float> @foo(<16 x float> %x1) nounwind %y1 = fsub <16 x float> %call, %y ret <16 x float> %y1 } ./llc -mattr=+avx

Cameron, Aligning the stack to 32 bytes when there are auto AVX vector variables present shouldn't necessarily break the x86-64 ABI, as long as smaller auto variables remain properly aligned. A similar approach was taken for i386 in GCC in order to support SSE vectors. Perhaps you could elaborate where the ABI was violated when your patch is applied. HTH -- Evandro Menezes

I'm running in AVX mode, but the stack before call to kernel is aligned to 16 bit. Could you, please, tell me where it should be specified? Thank you. - Elena --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Israel (74) Limited This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

I forgot to mention that I am using recent LLVM-3.1 and in principle my llc knows about avx as I have shown in the second example. But avx does not seem to be used by default.

I wonder why AVX is not used automatically if available at the host machine. In contrast to that, SSE41 instructions (like pmulld) are automatically used if the host machine supports SSE41. E.g. $ cat avx.ll define void @_fun1(<8 x float>*, <8 x float>*) { _L1: %x = load <8 x float>* %0 %y = load <8 x float>* %1 %z = fadd <8 x float> %x, %y store

Hi, I am using mcjit in llvm 3.6 to jit kernels to x86 avx2. I've noticed some inefficient use of the stack around constant vectors. In one example, I have code that computes a series of constant vectors at compile time. Each vector has a single use. In the final asm, I see a series of spills at the top of the function of all the constant vectors immediately to stack, then each use references

Even if you explicitly specify –stack-alignment=16 the aligned movs are still generated. It is not an issue related to ABI. See my original mail: ./llc -mattr=+avx -stack-alignment=16 < basic.ll | grep movaps | grep ymm | grep rbp vmovaps -176(%rbp), %ymm14 vmovaps -144(%rbp), %ymm11 vmovaps -240(%rbp), %ymm13 - Elena From: Cameron McInally

- we used the C4/C5 (first prefix) byte instead of the apparent ModR/M one as the second prefix byte - early decoding normalized vex.reg, thus corrupting it for the main consumer (copy_REX_VEX()), resulting in #UD on the two-operand instructions we emulate Also add respective test cases to the testing utility plus - fix get_fpu() (the fall-through order was inverted) - add cpu_has_avx2,

Hi, Please consider the following loop: using v4f32 = float __attribute__((__vector_size__(16))); void fct6(v4f32 *x) { #pragma clang loop vectorize(enable) for (int i = 0; i < 256; ++i) x[i] = 7 * x[i]; } After compiling it with: clang++ -O3 -march=native -mtune=native \ -Rpass=loop-vectorize,slp-vectorize -Rpass-missed=loop-vectorize,slp-vectorize

It probably does not pick the right processor architecture. You could try “clang -mavx” or “clang -march=corei7-avx” for ivy-bridge and “clang -march=core-avx2” or “clang -mavx2" for haswell. $ clang -march=core-avx2 -O3 -S -o - test.c .section __TEXT,__text,regular,pure_instructions .globl _f .align 4, 0x90 _f: ## @f

Are you saying that the generated code assumes 256bit alignment, your default stack alignment is 128bit and LLVM doesn't adjust it automatically? Joerg

When stack is unaligned, LLVM should generate vmovups instead of vmovaps. - Elena -----Original Message----- From: llvmdev-bounces at cs.uiuc.edu [mailto:llvmdev-bounces at cs.uiuc.edu] On Behalf Of Joerg Sonnenberger Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 20:31 To: llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu Subject: Re: [LLVMdev] Stack alignment on X86 AVX seems incorrect On Thu, Mar 01, 2012 at 06:16:46PM +0000,

Hello - I found this post on the llvm blog: http://blog.llvm.org/2012/12/new-loop-vectorizer.html which makes me think that clang / llvm are capable of generating AVX with packed instructions as well as utilizing the full width of the YMM registers… I have an environment where icc generates these instructions (vmulps %ymm1, %ymm3, %ymm2 for example) but I can not get clang/llvm to generate such

Illustrative Example: clang -fveclib=SVML -O3 svml.c -mavx #include <math.h> void foo(double *a, int N){ int i; #pragma clang loop vectorize_width(8) for (i=0;i<N;i++){ a[i] = sin(i); } } Currently, this results in a call to <8 x double> __svml_sin8(<8 x double>) after the vectorizer. This is 8-element SVML sin() called with 8-element argument. On the surface,

I'm seeing a difference in how LLVM 3.3 and 3.2 emit unaligned vector loads on AVX. 3.3 is splitting up an unaligned vector load but in 3.2, it was emitted as a single instruction (details below). In a matrix-matrix inner-kernel, I see a ~25% decrease in performance, which seems to be due to this. Any ideas why this changed? Thanks! Zach LLVM Code: define <4 x double> @vstore(<4 x

Hi Elena, Thank you very much for looking in to that. I'll go ahead and remove the isCommutable flag from those instructions, since it sounds like that's the right thing to do. I would still like to change the default from the 231 variant to 213 too, as this will reduce code-size for accumulator-style loops. I have at least one benchmark that shows significant speedups when this change
