Detailed Description

This class tries to optimize the layout of vectors in order to avoid
unnecessary shuffling.  At the moment, the set of possible layouts are
restricted to bijective permutations.

The goal of the pass depends on whether we're optimizing for size or
for speed.  When optimizing for size, the goal is to reduce the overall
number of layout changes (including layout changes implied by things
like load permutations).  When optimizing for speed, the goal is to
reduce the maximum latency attributable to layout changes on any
non-cyclical path through the data flow graph.

For example, when optimizing a loop nest for speed, we will prefer
to make layout changes outside of a loop rather than inside of a loop,
and will prefer to make layout changes in parallel rather than serially,
even if that increases the overall number of layout changes.

The high-level procedure is:

(1) Build a graph in which edges go from uses (parents) to definitions
    (children).

(2) Divide the graph into a dag of strongly-connected components (SCCs).

(3) When optimizing for speed, partition the nodes in each SCC based
    on their containing cfg loop.  When optimizing for size, treat
    each SCC as a single partition.

    This gives us a dag of partitions.  The goal is now to assign a
    layout to each partition.

(4) Construct a set of vector layouts that are worth considering.
    Record which nodes must keep their current layout.

(5) Perform a forward walk over the partition dag (from loads to stores)
    accumulating the "forward" cost of using each layout.  When visiting
    each partition, assign a tentative choice of layout to the partition
    and use that choice when calculating the cost of using a different
    layout in successor partitions.

(6) Perform a backward walk over the partition dag (from stores to loads),
    accumulating the "backward" cost of using each layout.  When visiting
    each partition, make a final choice of layout for that partition based
    on the accumulated forward costs (from (5)) and backward costs
    (from (6)).

(7) Apply the chosen layouts to the SLP graph.

For example, consider the SLP statements:

S1:      a_1 = load
    loop:
S2:      a_2 = PHI<a_1, a_3>
S3:      b_1 = load
S4:      a_3 = a_2 + b_1
    exit:
S5:      a_4 = PHI<a_3>
S6:      store a_4

S2 and S4 form an SCC and are part of the same loop.  Every other
statement is in a singleton SCC.  In this example there is a one-to-one
mapping between SCCs and partitions and the partition dag looks like this;

     S1     S3
      \     /
       S2+S4
         |
        S5
         |
        S6

S2, S3 and S4 will have a higher execution frequency than the other
statements, so when optimizing for speed, the goal is to avoid any
layout changes:

- within S3
- within S2+S4
- on the S3->S2+S4 edge

For example, if S3 was originally a reversing load, the goal of the
pass is to make it an unreversed load and change the layout on the
S1->S2+S4 and S2+S4->S5 edges to compensate.  (Changing the layout
on S1->S2+S4 and S5->S6 would also be acceptable.)

The difference between SCCs and partitions becomes important if we
add an outer loop:

S1:      a_1 = ...
    loop1:
S2:      a_2 = PHI<a_1, a_6>
S3:      b_1 = load
S4:      a_3 = a_2 + b_1
    loop2:
S5:      a_4 = PHI<a_3, a_5>
S6:      c_1 = load
S7:      a_5 = a_4 + c_1
    exit2:
S8:      a_6 = PHI<a_5>
S9:      store a_6
    exit1:

Here, S2, S4, S5, S7 and S8 form a single SCC.  However, when optimizing
for speed, we usually do not want restrictions in the outer loop to "infect"
the decision for the inner loop.  For example, if an outer-loop node
in the SCC contains a statement with a fixed layout, that should not
prevent the inner loop from using a different layout.  Conversely,
the inner loop should not dictate a layout to the outer loop: if the
outer loop does a lot of computation, then it may not be efficient to
do all of that computation in the inner loop's preferred layout.

So when optimizing for speed, we partition the SCC into S2+S4+S8 (outer)
and S5+S7 (inner).  We also try to arrange partitions so that:

- the partition for an outer loop comes before the partition for
  an inner loop

- if a sibling loop A dominates a sibling loop B, A's partition
  comes before B's

This gives the following partition dag for the example above:

     S1        S3
      \        /
       S2+S4+S8   S6
        |   \\    /
        |    S5+S7
        |
       S9

There are two edges from S2+S4+S8 to S5+S7: one for the edge S4->S5 and
one for a reversal of the edge S7->S8.

The backward walk picks a layout for S5+S7 before S2+S4+S8.  The choice
for S2+S4+S8 therefore has to balance the cost of using the outer loop's
preferred layout against the cost of changing the layout on entry to the
inner loop (S4->S5) and on exit from the inner loop (S7->S8 reversed).

Although this works well when optimizing for speed, it has the downside
when optimizing for size that the choice of layout for S5+S7 is completely
independent of S9, which lessens the chance of reducing the overall number
of permutations.  We therefore do not partition SCCs when optimizing
for size.

To give a concrete example of the difference between optimizing
for size and speed, consider:

a[0] = (b[1] << c[3]) - d[1];
a[1] = (b[0] << c[2]) - d[0];
a[2] = (b[3] << c[1]) - d[3];
a[3] = (b[2] << c[0]) - d[2];

There are three different layouts here: one for a, one for b and d,
and one for c.  When optimizing for speed it is better to permute each
of b, c and d into the order required by a, since those permutations
happen in parallel.  But when optimizing for size, it is better to:

- permute c into the same order as b
- do the arithmetic
- permute the result into the order required by a

This gives 2 permutations rather than 3.

◆ get_result_with_layout()

◆ internal_node_cost()

int vect_optimize_slp_pass::internal_node_cost ( slp_tree node,
int in_layout_i,
unsigned int out_layout_i )
private
Check whether the target allows NODE to be rearranged so that the node's
output has layout OUT_LAYOUT_I.  Return the cost of the change if so,
in the same arbitrary units as for change_layout_cost.  Return -1 otherwise.

If NODE is a VEC_PERM_EXPR and IN_LAYOUT_I < 0, also check whether
NODE can adapt to the layout changes that have (perhaps provisionally)
been chosen for NODE's children, so that no extra permutations are
needed on either the input or the output of NODE.

If NODE is a VEC_PERM_EXPR and IN_LAYOUT_I >= 0, instead assume
that all inputs will be forced into layout IN_LAYOUT_I beforehand.

IN_LAYOUT_I has no meaning for other types of node.

Keeping the node as-is is always valid.  If the target doesn't appear
to support the node as-is, but might realistically support other layouts,
then layout 0 instead has the cost of a worst-case permutation.  On the
one hand, this ensures that every node has at least one valid layout,
avoiding what would otherwise be an awkward special case.  On the other,
it still encourages the pass to change an invalid pre-existing layout
choice into a valid one.
