This is a new RTL pass that tries to optimize memory offset calculations
by moving them from add immediate instructions to the memory loads/stores.
For example it can transform this:

  addi t4,sp,16
  add  t2,a6,t4
  shl  t3,t2,1
  ld   a2,0(t3)
  addi a2,1
  sd   a2,8(t2)

into the following (one instruction less):

  add  t2,a6,sp
  shl  t3,t2,1
  ld   a2,32(t3)
  addi a2,1
  sd   a2,24(t2)

Although there are places where this is done already, this pass is more
powerful and can handle the more difficult cases that are currently not
optimized. Also, it runs late enough and can optimize away unnecessary
stack pointer calculations.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* Makefile.in: Add fold-mem-offsets.o.
	* passes.def: Schedule a new pass.
	* tree-pass.h (make_pass_fold_mem_offsets): Declare.
	* common.opt: New options.
	* doc/invoke.texi: Document new option.
	* fold-mem-offsets.cc: New file.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gcc.target/riscv/fold-mem-offsets-1.c: New test.
	* gcc.target/riscv/fold-mem-offsets-2.c: New test.
	* gcc.target/riscv/fold-mem-offsets-3.c: New test.

Changes in v6:
        - Fix formatting issues.
        - Compute maximum validity iterations based on
          flag_expensive_optimizations.

Changes in v5:
        - Introduce new helper function fold_offsets_1.
        - Fix bug because constants could be partially propagated
          through instructions that weren't understood.
        - Introduce helper class fold_mem_info that stores f-m-o
          info for an instruction.
        - Calculate fold_offsets only once with do_fold_info_calculation.
        - Fix correctness issue by introducing compute_validity_closure.
        - Propagate in more cases for PLUS/MINUS with constant.

Changes in v4:
        - Add DF_EQ_NOTES flag to avoid incorrect state in notes.
        - Remove fold_mem_offsets_driver and enum fold_mem_phase.
        - Call recog when patching offsets in do_commit_offset.
        - Restore INSN_CODE after modifying insn in do_check_validity.

Changes in v3:
        - Added propagation for more codes:
          sub, neg, mul.
        - Added folding / elimination for sub and
          const int moves.
        - For the validity check of the generated addresses
          also test memory_address_addr_space_p.
        - Replaced GEN_INT with gen_int_mode.
        - Replaced some bitmap_head with auto_bitmap.
        - Refactor each phase into own function for readability.
        - Add dump details.
        - Replace rtx iteration with reg_mentioned_p.
        - Return early for codes that we can't propagate through.

Changes in v2:
        - Made the pass target-independant instead of RISCV specific.
        - Fixed a number of bugs.
        - Add code to handle more ADD patterns as found
          in other targets (x86, aarch64).
        - Improved naming and comments.
        - Fixed bitmap memory leak.

+     ld   a2, 32(t3)
+     add  a2, 1
+     sd   a2, 24(t2)
+
+   Although the previous passes try to emit efficient offset calculations
+   this pass is still beneficial because:
+
+    - The mechanisms that optimize memory offsets usually work with specific
+      patterns or have limitations.  This pass is designed to fold offsets
+      through complex calculations that affect multiple memory operations
+      and have partially overlapping calculations.
+
+    - There are cases where add instructions are introduced in late rtl passes
+      and the rest of the pipeline cannot eliminate them.  Arrays and structs
+      allocated on the stack can result in unwanted add instructions that
+      cannot be eliminated easily.
+
+   This pass works on a basic block level and consists of 4 phases:
+
+    - Phase 1 (Analysis): Find "foldable" instructions.
+      Foldable instructions are those that we know how to propagate
+      a constant addition through (add, shift, move, ...) and only have other
+      foldable instructions for uses.  In that phase a DFS traversal on the
+      definition tree is performed and foldable instructions are marked on
+      a bitmap.  The add immediate instructions that are reachable in this
+      DFS are candidates for folding since all the intermediate calculations
+      affected by them are also foldable.
+
+    - Phase 2 (Validity): Traverse and calculate the offsets that would result
+      from folding the add immediate instructions.  Check whether the
+      calculated offsets result in a valid instruction for the target.
+
+    - Phase 3 (Commit offsets): Traverse again.  It is now known which folds
+      are valid so at this point change the offsets in the memory instructions.
+
+    - Phase 4 (Commit instruction deletions): Scan all instructions and delete
+      or simplify (reduce to move) all add immediate instructions that were
+      folded.
+
+   This pass should run before hard register propagation because it creates
+   register moves that we expect to be eliminated.  */

So I was ready to ACK, but realized there weren't any testresults for a 
primary platform mentioned.  So I ran this on x86.

It's triggering one regression (code quality).

Specifically gcc.target/i386/pr52146.c

The f-m-o code is slightly worse than without f-m-o.

Without f-m-o we get this:

    9 0000 B88000E0              movl    $-18874240, %eax
    9      FE
   10 0005 67C70000              movl    $0, (%eax)
   10      000000
   11 000c C3                    ret

With f-m-o we get this:

    9 0000 B8000000              movl    $0, %eax
    9      00
   10 0005 67C78080              movl    $0, -18874240(%eax)
   10      00E0FE00
   10      000000
   11 0010 C3                    ret


The key being that we don't get rid of the original move instruction, 
nor does the original move instruction get smaller due to simplification 
of its constant.  Additionally, the memory store gets larger.  The net 
is a 4 byte increase in code size.


This is probably a fairly rare scenario and the original bug report was 
for a correctness issue in using addresses in the range 
0x80000000..0xffffffff in x32.  So I wouldn't lose any sleep if we 
adjusted the test to pass -fno-fold-mem-offsets.  But before doing that 
I wanted to give you the chance to ponder if this is something you'd 
prefer to improve in f-m-o itself.   At some level if the base register 
collapses down to 0, then we could take the offset as a constant address 
and try to recognize that form.  If that fails, then just consider the 
change unprofitable rather than trying to recognize it as reg+d.

Anyway, waiting to hear your thoughts...

If we do a V7, then we need to fix one spelling issue that shows up in 
several places (if we go with the v6 we can just fix it prior to 
committing).  Specifically in several places we need to replace 
"recognised" with "recognized".

So overnight testing with the latest version of your patch triggered a 
fault on the sh3-linux-gnu target with this code at -O2:

The problem is we need to clear the INSN_CODE before we call recog.  In 
this specific case we had (mem (plus (reg) (offset)) after f-m-o does 
its job, the offset went to zero so we changed the structure of the RTL 
to (mem (reg)).  But we had the old INSN_CODE still in place which 
caused us to reference operands that no longer exist.

A simple INSN_CODE (insn) = -1 before calling_insn_invalid_p is the 
right fix.

Thanks for catching that. I had some thoughts that the change that
doesn't emit rtx plus when offset is zero could do something like
this, but I missed that change needed.
Will fix this in the next iteration.

Yes, this case is not good for f-m-o. In theory there could be a cost
calculation step that tries to estimate the benefit of a
transformation, but given that f-m-o cannot transform code in a way
that we have big regressions it's unclear to me whether complicating
the code is worth it. At least if we can solve the issues in other
ways (also see discussion below).

Yes, this testcase has been bugging me too, I have brought that up in
previous iterations as well.
I'm also not sure whether this is a code quality or a correctness
issue? From what I understand from the relevant ticket, if we emit
movl $0, -18874240 then it's wrong code?

With regards to the "recognize that the base register is 0", that
would be nice but how would we recognise that? f-m-o can only
calculate the folded offset but that is not enough to prove that the
base register is zero or not.

One thought that I've had is that this started being an issue on x86
when I enabled folding of mv REG, INT in addition to the existing ADD
REG, REG, INT. The idea was that a move will be folded to mv REG, 0
and on targets that we have a zero register that can be beneficial for
a number of reasons... but on x86 we don't have a zero register so the
benefit is much more limited anyway. So maybe we could disable folding
of moves on targets that don't have a zero register? That would solve
the issue and I believe it also makes sense in general. If so, is
there a way to query wether the target has such register?

Thoughts?

I must have missed that in the earlier discussion.

It's a code quality issue as long as we don't transform the code into 
movl $0, -18874240, at which point it would become a correctness issue.

It's a chain of insns that produce an address and use it in the memory 
reference.  We essentially changed the first insn in the chain from movl 
-18874240, %eax into movl 0, %eax.  So we'd have to someone note that 
the base register in the memory reference has the value zero in the 
chain of instructions.  That may or may not be reasonable to do.

We don't have a generalized query to do that.  You might be able to ask 
what the cost to load 0 into a register is, but many targets 
artificially decrease that value.

You could use the costing model to cost the entire sequence 
before/after.  There's an interface to walk a sequence and return a 
cost.  In the case of f-m-o the insns are part of the larger chain, so 
we'd need a different API.

The other option would be to declare this is known, but not important 
issue.  I would think that it's going to be rare to have absolute 
addresses and x32 isn't really used much.  The combination of the two 
should be exceedingly rare.  Hence my willingness to use 
-fno-fold-mem-offsets in the test.

Ok, thanks for pointing that out as I thought that movl $0, -18874240
and movl $0, -18874240(eax) with eax == 0 were the same.

Ok, do you believe it would be worthwhile to add a REG_EQ note or
something similar? I assume some REG_EQ notes will be added from the
following cprop-hardreg pass too?

Ok, I see. Then let's not use that approach.

Yes, I now better understand why you suggested adding
-fno-fold-mem-offsets to the testcase. Or we could also make the test
not fail in this case where the memory access has the base register,
as there's no correctness issue.

Then, going back to the code quality regression, wouldn't things be
much better if we would emit xor eax, eax instead of mov eax, 0? In
that case xor eax, eax should be 2 bytes instead of 5 for mov eax, 0
and hence the code size difference should be trivial. Then we can keep
f-m-o as is, including this testcase.

Is there a way to emit a taret-specific optimized register zero insn?
If so I'll use that and adjust the testcase as needed, and I think
we're done with this one.

Thanks,
Manolis

It's a quirk of x32 related to sign extension of the address.  Certainly 
not obvious!  But it's better than the PA where:

(mem (plus (reg A) (reg B)))

Is semantically different than

(mem (plus (reg B) (reg A)))


Due to the implicit segment register selection that happens on the high 
bits of the base register rather than the high bits of the effective 
address.

I think it really depends on the degree of difficulty and whether or not 
we think there are other cases like this one lurking.

Given this scenario can only happen with an absolute address, I would 
probably explore if there's a way to trivially detect this case, but I 
wouldn't spend a lot of time on it.

And I wasn't necessarily thinking of a note in the RTL, just a bit of 
state within f-m-o when updating an arithmetic chain so that we could 
determine that the final instruction was a memory reference to an 
absolute address.

The selection of xor vs mov imm is handled elsewhere.  On some uarchs 
the former is preferred, on others the latter.

If you think about xor %eax,%eax as an example.  Unless you special case 
that scenario in your cpu front-end, the xor will have a data dependency 
on any prior set of %eax which inhibits ILP.

I can live with just adjusting the testcase.  Let's go with that.

Ok, although I didn't include this in v7, I'll do some exploration for
a possible future change.

Done! Sent as v7 together with the recognised -> recognized change and
INSN_CODE(insn) = -1 for the bug you reported.
