[hjl at lucon dot org]

This checkin:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2007-07/msg00168.html

causes 12% slowdown for 437.leslie3d in SPEC CPU 2006 on 64bit Core 2
Duo when compiled with -O2 -ffast-math.

Do you know why?  Because right now there is not enough information in this bug
to declare if it is a bug or not.

I also saw 13% slowdown on Opteron. It may also happen on other none-x86
processors.

This program is in Fortran. It has loops with 3-D, 4-D and 5-D arrays.

The patch just makes more types be the same inside GCC so if this caused a
regression, then this is a latent bug or it is the case where mem-ssa failed.

It might be a missed optimization, so it would be nice to see where the
slowdown is and what changed there wrt trees we get.  (note I will not have
time to
investigate this for the next three weeks as I'm on vacation)

437.leslie3d is a big file with 19 functions. If I put each function in
a separate file, there is no regression. If I put 2 particular functions
in one file, there are 10-30% regressions depending on input file. Those
2 functions work on several global arrays.

I tried " --param max-aliased-vops=1000000 --param avg-aliased-vops=7".
It doesn't make a difference.

This sounds strange and maybe relates this to PR32624.

I tried the patch in

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32624#c4

It doesn't make a difference in this case. But both are related to
useless_type_conversion_p.

Gcc 4.3 revision 128885 is much slower than gcc 4.1 redhat revision 128771

The main difference between gcc 4.1 redhat and gcc 4.1 is the -mtune=generic
change. I believe gcc 4.3 will also be much slower than gcc 4.1 on Opteron.

And now some comments to go with the prior attatchment...

This checkin is causing a 75% degradation on leslie3d for PowerPC. As HJ
observed earlier, it depends on a second function accessing some of the global
data.

Generated code for simple copy loop in EXTRAPI(), compiled with -O2.

------- Comment #13 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-10-17 16:59 -------
Can someone explain this may_alias behavior:

so we have in the IR:
  # VUSE <SFT.30_53>
D.892_19 = qav.data;
D.893_20 = (real8[0:] *) D.892_19;


 in may_alias we get a constraint of:
 D.892_19 = qav
D.893_20 = D.892_19



Isn't this wrong?  D. 892_19 shouldn't just point to anywhere?

Inside the loop we get:

# VUSE <imax_33, SFT.11_34, SFT.12_35, SFT.13_36, SFT.14_37, SFT.15_38,
SFT.16_39, SFT.17_40, SFT.18_41, SFT.19_42, SFT.20_43, SFT.21_44, SFT.22_45,
SFT.23_46, SFT.24_47, SFT.25_48, SFT.26_49, SFT.27_50, SFT.28_51, SFT.29_52,
SFT.30_53, SMT.35_54>
D.903_30 = (*D.893_20)[D.902_29];

Which obviously shows that the vops are wrong.

qav should have a constraint somewhere that says qav = &ANYTHING

You won't directly see D.892_19 = ANYTHING

slower than gcc 4.1 Red Hat.

It makes no difference. I saw 20% slowdown in 437.leslie3d on Intel Core
2 Duo 64bit between revision 117890 and revision 119497. It could be

------- Comment #31 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-10-24 12:23 -------
This is a partitioning issue.  We allocate the same MPT to loads and stores
in a loop.  Fixed with for example --param max-aliased-vops=10000.

Diego, this is yours.  Avoiding false aliasing of loads and stores should
be top priority in the partitioning heuristics.

Though even with no paritioning we are not able to move the invariant load
of dtvol:

.L68:
        movsd   (%rsi), %xmm0
        addl    $1, %ecx
        addq    %rdi, %rsi
        subsd   (%rdx), %xmm0
        addq    %rdi, %rdx 
        mulsd   __les3d_data_MOD_dtvol(%rip), %xmm0
        xorpd   %xmm1, %xmm0
        movsd   %xmm0, (%rax)
        addq    %r8, %rax 
        cmpl    $6, %ecx
        jne     .L68

because:

  # VUSE <dtvol_613>
  dtvol.23_424 = dtvol; 
  D.1276_425 = D.1274_423 * dtvol.23_424;
  D.1277_426 = -D.1276_425;
  # dtvol_1865 = VDEF <dtvol_613>
  # HEAP.185_1160 = VDEF <HEAP.185_609>
  # HEAP.186_1142 = VDEF <HEAP.186_1194>
  # HEAP.202_1108 = VDEF <HEAP.202_1177>
  (*pretmp.248_955)[D.1259_397] = D.1277_426;

as we think that pretmp.248_955 might point to dtvol.  The pointers just
have a constraint like

pretmp.246_921 = du

and

du = &ANYTHING
du.ubound = &ANYTHING
du.lbound = &ANYTHING
du.stride = &ANYTHING
du.ubound = &ANYTHING
du.lbound = &ANYTHING
du.stride = &ANYTHING
du.ubound = &ANYTHING
du.lbound = &ANYTHING
du.stride = &ANYTHING
du.ubound = &ANYTHING
du.lbound = &ANYTHING
du.stride = &ANYTHING
du.dtype = &ANYTHING
du.offset = &ANYTHING

and dtvol and DU are global variables.  So we are possibly out of luck
for this one.

I have a patch to "fix" the heuristics, but it doesn't have effect as nobody
hoists PHI nodes that have become invariant apperantly.  After PRE I see



<bb 100>:
  # HEAP.202_828 = PHI <HEAP.202_747(150), HEAP.202_743(148)>

<bb 101>:

  # dtvol_656 = PHI <dtvol_620(100), dtvol_655(152)>
  # MPT.242_668 = PHI <MPT.242_744(100), MPT.242_668(152)>
  # l_1 = PHI <1(100), l_428(152)>
  # VUSE <MPT.242_668>
  D.1241_376 = du.data;
... (more VUSEs of MPT.242_668, the only VDEFs in the loop follow)
  # dtvol_655 = VDEF <dtvol_656>
  # SMT.222_599 = VDEF <SMT.222_639>
  (*D.1242_377)[D.1259_397] = D.1277_426;
  l_428 = l_1 + 1;
  if (l_1 == 5)
    goto <bb 102>;
  else
    goto <bb 152>;

<bb 152>:
  goto <bb 101>;

<bb 102>:

the

  # SMT.222_639 = PHI <SMT.222_638(100), SMT.222_599(152)>

could be hoisted to BB100 (even to BB92).  Who is supposed to do this?

------- Comment #33 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-10-24 15:18 -------
DOM does, so scheduling another dominator pass after PRE (where alias is
re-run)
fixes the problem.  One problem with partitioning is that we don't collect
statistics for symbols inside a partition, which makes all but the first
paritioning run prefer already partitioned symbols.

partition heuristics change

The idea is to change the statistics to make the values in the fields
match their names and based on that avoid partitioning for variables
that are often directly accessed or indirectly accessed as mostly
reads or writes.  It probably makes sense to change the field names
and weight the individual accesses with their BB frequency again.

Of course the patch is not finished and is untested apart from throwing
it on the 2nd testcase.

------- Comment #36 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-10-25 08:55 -------
One reason why we see a regression here regarding to partitioning is that the
fortran FE now inlines allocate () producing three calls instead of one, which
spoils the partitioning heuristics:

  {
    void * D.1028;
    logical4 D.1027;
    int8 size.0;
    int8 D.1025;

    qs.dtype = 537;
    qs.dim[0].lbound = 0;
    qs.dim[0].ubound = (int8) (imax + -1);
    qs.dim[0].stride = 1;
    D.1025 = (int8) (imax + -1) + 1;
    D.1027 = imax <= 0;
    if (D.1027)
      {
        size.0 = 0;
      }
    else
      {
        size.0 = D.1025 * 8;
      }
    if (qs.data == 0B)
      {
        {
          void * D.1030;
          int8 D.1029;

          D.1029 = size.0;
          if (D.1029 < 0)
            {
              _gfortran_runtime_error (&"Attempt to allocate negative amount of
memory. Possible integer overflow"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1});
            }
          else
            {
              D.1030 = __builtin_malloc (MAX_EXPR <D.1029, 1>);
              if (D.1030 == 0B)
                {
                  _gfortran_os_error (&"Out of memory"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1});
                }
            }
          D.1028 = D.1030;
        }
      }
    else
      {
        _gfortran_runtime_error (&"Attempting to allocate already allocated
array"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1});
      }
    qs.data = D.1028;
    qs.offset = 0;
  }

if we mark the error functions as having no VOPs (I don't see that we need
to preserve or order memory operations for these particular functions that
do not return) then this should clean up the number of VOPs considerably.

_gfortran_runtime_error is marked as no return which means virtual operations
should not be on it.  Sounds like noreturn should be the same as no vops
(maybe).  You have to take care about exceptions as no return functions can
still change global state and "return" via an exception (or a long jump).

Another thing is that for all of the mem_sym_stats we collect, we _only_
consider
memory references through pointers(!), but not for example

  # VUSE <MPT.242_651>
  D.1244_380 = du.dim[0].stride;

the associated SFT will neither get indirect nor direct reads accounted.

No, in general noreturn functions cannot be treated as novops.  Consider

void __attribute__((noreturn,noinline)) my_main(int *ret)
{
  exit(*ret);
}

int main()
{
  int ret = 0;
  my_main (&ret);
}

without VOPs we would remove the store to ret.

Testcase

I tried a mainline with the latest patch.  While we no longer have problems
with the prior testcases, there is no improvement for leslie3d on ppc64. I can
still double the performance of the benchmark by specifying --param
max-aliased-vops=10000.

Including a new trimmed down testcase from the benchmark where I'm still seeing
poor code when max-aliased-vops is not increased, compiled with 'gfortran -m32
-O2'.

Refer to the first nested loop in procedure FLUXK():

            DO I = I1, I2
               QS(I) = WAV(I,J,K) * ZAREA
            END DO

Just following up with comments posted on irc.  The patch does fix the problem
I was seeing.  Spec ratio improved from 5.18 to 9.07 with the patch (75%), not
quite the full 100% improvement I was seeing with --param
max-aliased-vops=10000, but getting awfully close.

Testcase

Found some more cases, which are contributing to the missing 25%. Looks like
similar code, but obviously something different about it since it's not getting
caught with the latest patch.  Compiled with -O2 -m64.

Btw, on x86_64 leslie3d performance is now above that from before r126326.

The differences you mention can be seen on x86_64 as well, but they are
not related to aliasing or partitioning but due to differences in what
IVOPTs produces.

The first difference at all on the tree level is with mergephi2 that is able
to remove a single forwarder BB if --param max-aliased-vops=10000 is _not_
specified.  First real changes happen when DOM is able to CSE some loads
with --param max-aliased-vops=10000 but not without:

-  D.1747_808 = D.1747_763;
-  D.1748_809 = D.1748_764;
-  D.1749_811 = D.1749_766;
-  D.1750_812 = D.1749_766 * D.1644_799;
+  D.1747_808 = pav.data;
+  D.1748_809 = (real(kind=8)[0:] *) D.1747_808;
+  D.1749_811 = pav.dim[0].stride;
+  D.1750_812 = D.1644_799 * D.1749_811;

and as PRE itself is not alias-oracle aware as well further missed
optimizations
occur.

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #49 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-05-02 12:16 -------
Missing jump-threading causes quite a number of missed FRE opportunities, we
have

  if (i2 >= 0)
    {
       ... = load X
    }

  if (i2 >= 0)
    {
       ... = load X
    }

where we figure out the redundancy but don't do the replacement because
the result of the first load is not available at the place of the second load.

Some pass reordering may fix this and similar problems but of course may
have other side-effects.  My suggestion is to move passes from

   fre, vrp, ch

to

   ch, vrp, fre

and dropping the final dom pass in favor of another FRE one (DOM has
weaker memory optimization but in addition does some jump threading and
cond expr combining, both of which don't happen a lot after loop
optimizations).

But pass reordering has to wait until after the statistics patch has
been approved.

Note that teaching DOM about the alias-oracle is very difficult and
unlikely to happen - I'd rather get rid of DOM completely.

Along these lines, I think we would really benefit from doing a thorough 
study of pass reordering using the techniques in GCC-ICI (GCC Summit 
2008) and COLE (CGO 2008).  Both have found significant improvements 
with different optimization pipelines.

If somebody wants to do the legwork ... (the study probably needs to
be re-done and weight passes properly with "we like this pass" and
"we don't like this pass").  Just by visual inspection and reasoning
I can come up with some reasonable changes -- that probably expose
missed optimizations that can and should be fixed in the proper
passes rather than relying on others to cleanup (see the CCP bugs
I tackled over the last month -- I expect similar stuff in other
passes).

The question is how to go forward here.  As any re-ordering
that makes sense appearantly needs thorough analysis of regressions
that happen this isn't an automatic process.  Automatic processes
either require "perfect" passes or will come up with solutions that
either still regress or contain a lot more passes than we like
(in possible un-intuitive order).

Richard.

Yes, the "perfect pass" problem is what concerns me too.  For example, if we
try to do dynamic reordering of passes, or allow users to specify that, we have
to worry that, in practice, the compiler will crash or generate wrong code. 
We'll have no good way of ever validating even a small set of the possible
combinations.

Perhaps we need to make the passes fast, so we can run them more often?  Or
weave some of them together, even though of course it's nice if each pass is
logically separate and does a single thing?

True.  Still if we don't have this ability to easily re-order passes
we'll never know ;)

So I still would like to have our pass-manager scripted, if it is
only for development purposes of GCC.

Most of the cleanup passes are fast, and one of the most important things
in my view is maintainability which helps to reduce possible wrong-code
bugs.  This of course is easier with passes that do one single thing.

One thing we should consider is to keep more information around across
passes to make passes simpler.  For example VRP throws away range
information - we could separate out jump threading if we didn't do that,
likewise other passes could benefit from this information.  FRE and PRE
compute value numbers which are also thrown away.

Richard.

> Btw, on x86_64 leslie3d performance is now above that from before r126326.

Changing to 4.3 only.  A separate bug (likely not a regression) should be
opened for the testcase of comment #47.

Might even be WONTFIX for 4.3.

This is btw very likely fixed on the alias-improvements branch.  SPEC testing
that for PPC would be much appreciated.

OTOH I agree with Paolo, so ... FIXED for 4.4, WONTFIX for 4.3.

I tried leslie3d on PPC. The alias-improvements branch does indeed seem to fix
the issue. The version of leslie3d built with the alias-improvements branch is
about 10% faster than a version built with trunk, and is equivalent to a trunk
version built with --param max-aliased-vops=10000.
