Constant parameters // like function pointers and constant globals are propagated to the callee by // specializing the function. The main benefit of this pass at the moment is // that indirect calls are transformed into direct calls, which provides inline // opportunities that the inliner would not have been able to achieve. That's // why function specialisation is run before the inliner in the optimisation // pipeline; that is by design. Otherwise, we would only benefit from constant // passing, which is a valid use-case too, but hasn't been explored much in // terms of performance uplifts, cost-model and compile-time impact. // // Current limitations: // - It does not yet handle integer ranges. We do support "literal constants", // but that's off by default under an option. // - The cost-model could be further looked into (it mainly focuses on inlining // benefits), // // Ideas: // - With a function specialization attribute for arguments, we could have // a direct way to steer function specialization, avoiding the cost-model, // and thus control compile-times / code-size. // // Todos: // - Specializing recursive functions relies on running the transformation a // number of times, which is controlled by option // `func-specialization-max-iters`. Thus, increasing this value and the // number of iterations, will linearly increase the number of times recursive // functions get specialized, see also the discussion in // https://reviews.llvm.org/D106426 for details. Perhaps there is a // compile-time friendlier way to control/limit the number of specialisations // for recursive functions. // - Don't transform the function if function specialization does not trigger; // the SCCPSolver may make IR changes. // // References: // - 2021 LLVM Dev Mtg “Introducing function specialisation, and can we enable // it by default?”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJiCjeXgV5Q // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "llvm/Transforms/IPO/FunctionSpecialization.h" #include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/CodeMetrics.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/ConstantFolding.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/InlineCost.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/InstructionSimplify.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/TargetTransformInfo.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/ValueLattice.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/ValueLatticeUtils.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/ValueTracking.h" #include "llvm/IR/IntrinsicInst.h" #include "llvm/Transforms/Scalar/SCCP.h" #include "llvm/Transforms/Utils/Cloning.h" #include "llvm/Transforms/Utils/SCCPSolver.h" #include "llvm/Transforms/Utils/SizeOpts.h" #include using namespace llvm; #define DEBUG_TYPE "function-specialization" STATISTIC(NumSpecsCreated, "Number of specializations created"); static cl::opt ForceSpecialization( "force-specialization", cl::init(false), cl::Hidden, cl::desc( "Force function specialization for every call site with a constant " "argument")); static cl::opt MaxClones( "funcspec-max-clones", cl::init(3), cl::Hidden, cl::desc( "The maximum number of clones allowed for a single function " "specialization")); static cl::opt MinFunctionSize( "funcspec-min-function-size", cl::init(100), cl::Hidden, cl::desc( "Don't specialize functions that have less than this number of " "instructions")); static cl::opt SpecializeOnAddress( "funcspec-on-address", cl::init(false), cl::Hidden, cl::desc( "Enable function specialization on the address of global values")); // Disabled by default as it can significantly increase compilation times. // // https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com // https://github.com/nikic/llvm-compile-time-tracker static cl::opt SpecializeLiteralConstant( "funcspec-for-literal-constant", cl::init(false), cl::Hidden, cl::desc( "Enable specialization of functions that take a literal constant as an " "argument")); // Estimates the instruction cost of all the basic blocks in \p WorkList. // The successors of such blocks are added to the list as long as they are // executable and they have a unique predecessor. \p WorkList represents // the basic blocks of a specialization which become dead once we replace // instructions that are known to be constants.
