This way all the // globals which were merged into a biggest one can be addressed using offsets // from the same base pointer (no need for separate base pointer for each of the // global). Such a transformation can significantly reduce the register pressure // when many globals are involved. // // For example, consider the code which touches several global variables at // once: // // static int foo[N], bar[N], baz[N]; // // for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) { // foo[i] = bar[i] * baz[i]; // } // // On ARM the addresses of 3 arrays should be kept in the registers, thus // this code has quite large register pressure (loop body): // // ldr r1, [r5], #4 // ldr r2, [r6], #4 // mul r1, r2, r1 // str r1, [r0], #4 // // Pass converts the code to something like: // // static struct { // int foo[N]; // int bar[N]; // int baz[N]; // } merged; // // for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) { // merged.foo[i] = merged.bar[i] * merged.baz[i]; // } // // and in ARM code this becomes: // // ldr r0, [r5, #40] // ldr r1, [r5, #80] // mul r0, r1, r0 // str r0, [r5], #4 // // note that we saved 2 registers here almostly "for free". // ===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "llvm/Transforms/Scalar.h" #include "llvm/ADT/SmallPtrSet.h" #include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" #include "llvm/CodeGen/Passes.h" #include "llvm/IR/Attributes.h" #include "llvm/IR/Constants.h" #include "llvm/IR/DataLayout.h" #include "llvm/IR/DerivedTypes.h" #include "llvm/IR/Function.h" #include "llvm/IR/GlobalVariable.h" #include "llvm/IR/Instructions.h" #include "llvm/IR/Intrinsics.h" #include "llvm/IR/Module.h" #include "llvm/Pass.h" #include "llvm/Support/CommandLine.h" #include "llvm/Target/TargetLowering.h" #include "llvm/Target/TargetLoweringObjectFile.h" #include "llvm/Target/TargetSubtargetInfo.h" using namespace llvm; #define DEBUG_TYPE "global-merge" // FIXME: This is only useful as a last-resort way to disable the pass. cl::opt<bool> EnableGlobalMerge("enable-global-merge", cl::Hidden, cl::desc("Enable the global merge pass"), cl::init(true)); static cl::opt<bool> EnableGlobalMergeOnConst("global-merge-on-const", cl::Hidden, cl::desc("Enable global merge pass on constants"), cl::init(false)); // FIXME: this could be a transitional option, and we probably need to remove // it if only we are sure this optimization could always benefit all targets. static cl::opt<bool> EnableGlobalMergeOnExternal("global-merge-on-external", cl::Hidden, cl::desc("Enable global merge pass on external linkage"), cl::init(false)); STATISTIC(NumMerged, "Number of globals merged"); namespace { class GlobalMerge : public FunctionPass { const TargetMachine *TM; const DataLayout *DL; // FIXME: Infer the maximum possible offset depending on the actual users // (these max offsets are different for the users inside Thumb or ARM // functions), see the code that passes in the offset in the ARM backend // for more information. unsigned MaxOffset; bool doMerge(SmallVectorImpl<GlobalVariable*> &Globals, Module &M, bool isConst, unsigned AddrSpace) const; /// \brief Check if the given variable has been identified as must keep /// \pre setMustKeepGlobalVariables must have been called on the Module that /// contains GV bool isMustKeepGlobalVariable(const GlobalVariable *GV) const { return MustKeepGlobalVariables.count(GV); } /// Collect every variables marked as "used" or used in a landing pad /// instruction for this Module. void setMustKeepGlobalVariables(Module &M); /// Collect every variables marked as "used" void collectUsedGlobalVariables(Module &M); /// Keep track of the GlobalVariable that must not be merged away SmallPtrSet<const GlobalVariable *, 16> MustKeepGlobalVariables; public: static char ID; // Pass identification, replacement for typeid. explicit GlobalMerge(const TargetMachine *TM = nullptr, unsigned MaximalOffset = 0) : FunctionPass(ID), TM(TM), DL(TM->getDataLayout()), MaxOffset(MaximalOffset) { initializeGlobalMergePass(*PassRegistry::getPassRegistry()); } bool doInitialization(Module &M) override; bool runOnFunction(Function &F) override; bool doFinalization(Module &M) override; const char *getPassName() const override { return "Merge internal globals"; } void getAnalysisUsage(AnalysisUsage &AU) const override { AU.setPreservesCFG(); FunctionPass::getAnalysisUsage(AU); } }; } // end anonymous namespace char GlobalMerge::ID = 0; INITIALIZE_PASS_BEGIN(GlobalMerge, "global-merge", "Merge global variables", false, false) INITIALIZE_PASS_END(GlobalMerge, "global-merge", "Merge global variables", false, false) bool GlobalMerge::doMerge(SmallVectorImpl<GlobalVariable*> &Globals, Module &M, bool isConst, unsigned AddrSpace) const { // FIXME: Find better heuristics std::stable_sort(Globals.begin(), Globals.end(), [this](const GlobalVariable *GV1, const GlobalVariable *GV2) { Type *Ty1 = cast<PointerType>(GV1->getType())->getElementType(); Type *Ty2 = cast<PointerType>(GV2->getType())->getElementType(); return (DL->getTypeAllocSize(Ty1) < DL->getTypeAllocSize(Ty2)); }); Type *Int32Ty = Type::getInt32Ty(M.getContext()); assert(Globals.size() > 1); // FIXME: This simple solution merges globals all together as maximum as // possible.
