revised and updated new-if-converter patch… [PATCH] fix PR46029: reimplement if conversion of loads and stores

[Abe]

Dear all,

Relative to the previous submission of this same patch, the below corrects some minor spacing and/or indentation issues,
misc. other formatting fixes, and makes the disabled vectorization tests be disabled via "xfail" rather than by adding spaces to
deliberately cause the relevant scanned-for text to not be found by DejaGNU so as to prevent the DejaGNU line from being interpreted.

The below is also based on a Git checkout that was rebased to the latest upstream check-in from today,
so it should merge cleanly with trunk as of today.

Regards,

Abe

Subject: [PATCH] fix PR46029: reimplement if conversion of loads and stores

In the current implementation of if conversion, loads and stores are
if-converted in a thread-unsafe way:

   * loads were always executed, even when they should have not been.
     Some source code could be rendered invalid due to null pointers
     that were OK in the original program because they were never
     dereferenced.

   * writes were if-converted via load/maybe-modify/store, which
     renders some code multithreading-unsafe.

This patch reimplements if-conversion of loads and stores in a safe
way using a scratchpad allocated by the compiler on the stack:

   * loads are done through an indirection, reading either the correct
     data from the correct source [if the condition is true] or reading
     from the scratchpad and later ignoring this read result [if the
     condition is false].

   * writes are also done through an indirection, writing either to the
     correct destination [if the condition is true] or to the
     scratchpad [if the condition is false].

Vectorization of "if-cvt-stores-vect-ifcvt-18.c" disabled because the
old if-conversion resulted in unsafe code that could fail under
multithreading even though the as-written code _was_ thread-safe.

Passed regression testing and bootstrap on amd64-linux.

Would having a testsuite predicate for the target supporting gathered loads, let 
you run this test on those architectures? I'd expect one to be useful in a few 
other places too, in time if it doesn't exist already...

Thanks, but I don`t think that would fully fix all the regressions about which I am currently concerned.
I`m sure it could be useful to solve other problems, but as for the problems I am currently working on,
even though the above could easily provide a "way out", this is not the way in which I want to fix
the problem.  I`d much rather fix/improve the new if converter so that it doesn`t require
the target architecture to be able to gather/scatter when there is no fundamental need to do so,
e.g. when the vectorizer is complaining with messages that include the word "gather" only because
the new if converter is being "wasteful" with indirections that are not truly necessary and which
the vectorizer cannot tolerate [and for which there is no intermediate pass that eliminates them].

In other words, the new if converter IMO needs to be more careful, more analytical, and more
parsimonious with its use of indirection than it is right now.  It`s already a lot better than
the old converter, but it`s not perfect yet.  IMO it`s good enough to push to trunk already
largely b/c we have a lot of time IMO-and-AFAIK before 6.x is tagged for release.  The sooner
this gets pushed to trunk, the sooner we`ll have more "eyeballs" on this code and more people
might have good ideas for how to fix the regressions and otherwise improve the new code.

One of the best/most-important things I learned during my undergraduate Computer Science
education is "all problems in CS can be solved by adding another layer/level of indirection,
_except_ for the problem “I/we/the-program have/has too many layers/levels of indirection”".  ;-)

Abe

I don't see this change mentioned anywhere in the ChangeLog.  That seems 
to be a relatively common situation.  I called out some of those issues, 
but didn't try to catch them all.  Please make sure all changes are 
reflected in the ChangeLog.

ISTM this really should be two tests, one with this code as-is, another 
that exactly matches the ffmpeg kernel.

I don't see this mentioned in the ChangeLog.  It also doesn't look like 
you actually disabled the test.  Obviously this will need to be 
addressed before your patch could go in.

Not mentioned in the ChangeLog.   xfail needs to be fixed.

Similarly for the others were you added xfails.

Moving data_ref_loc_d could potentially be split out and merged in 
immediately assuming we've agreed that you're likely going to need 
data_ref_loc from within tree-data-ref.c and tree-if-conv.c.

Similarly for exporting get_references_in_stmt.

Picking out these things that are necessary prerequisites, but not part 
of the core changes you need to make will make the overall review 
process simpler.



> +ifcvt_could_trap_p (gimple stmt)
Presumably you're able to consider something with a vuse which does not 
otherwise trap as non-trapping because of the use of the scratchpad?

Perhaps you should clarify the comment to indicate what the "refined for 
the needs of the if-conversion" actually means.  Remember, someone other 
than you might be reading this code in the future.

This looks like a gratutious change.  It probably doesn't matter either 
way.  If you really want to make this change, please do so independent

Note that the types of scratch_pad and address_of_ai might be different. 
  I know that's allowed at the generic level, but I'm not sure that's 
allowed at the gimple level.  Do you need to do a pointer conversion to 
stay safe WRT the gimple typesystem here?

One of the things that's unclear to me is how this all interacts with 
the alias oracle.

Richi?  Comments about that?


Overall I like what I see and I think you're heading in the right 
direction.  There's some things we ought to break out and commit now 
which will keep the review work easier in the long term.

  address_of_ai = gimple_assign_lhs (addr_stmt);

maybe you can simplify other code as well in this way.

As Jeff said you better made sure 'ai' is TREE_ADDRESSABLE (I suppose
this is always
the scratchpad).  Otherwise you seriously confuse the alias machinery.
So do, at the
beginning of this function

  gcc_assert (TREE_ADDRESSABLE (get_base_address (ai)));

+static tree
+create_scratchpad (unsigned int n_bytes)
+{
+  basic_block bb = single_succ ( ENTRY_BLOCK_PTR_FOR_FN(cfun) );
+  gimple_stmt_iterator gsi = gsi_after_labels (bb);

+  tree base = create_tmp_reg (array_type, "scratch_pad");
+
+  return insert_address_of (base, &gsi);

also use create_tmp_var and add

 TREE_ADDRESSABLE (base) = 1;

note that the vectorizer might want to align the scratchpad and aligning
stack locals can be expensive.  So I wonder if using a global is better?
(yeah, you get false dependencies in the CPU with threads again, so
you could even use TLS vars...).  Not sure if we really need to worry.

You can iterate over vector modes looking for the biggest one, also
consider word_mode.

Don't use build3 but directly build the gimple assign with split ops.

No, all pointer types are compatible.

What matters with type-based aliasing is the actual dereference.  Of course
points-to info is another story here - you better should make sure to make
that available for the new pointer you create, otherwise you'll create runtime
alias checks for no good reason in vectorization.

So I thought about the way you if-convert and the way to vectorize
that.  We end up
with, say

void foo (float *p)
{
...
  char scratchpad[];
...
  for (i...;;)
    {
       void *p = cond ? &p[i] : &scratchpad;
       *p = ...;
    }

for example.  Now to vectorize this with scatters (_only_ supported
with AVX512!)
you need to be able to reduce the address to a single base address plus a
vector of scaled indexes.  Obviously the scratchpad and p do not have the same
base and for SFmode scatters you have only 4 bytes to represent the index.
This means you won't be able to use scatters here at all!

Also with AVX512 you have masked loads/stores at your disposal which are
much better suited here (and already supported by if-conversion!) as they
will be likely very much faster than gather/scatter operations.

So ... what target are you targeting that has gather/scatter support for
arbitrary unrelated objects and _not_ masked load/store support.

That said - it looks like your way of doing if-conversion isn't a good one for
vectorization.

Richard.
