Hi,

before noce_find_if_block processes a block it sets up an if_info
structure that holds the original costs.  At that point the costs of
the then/else blocks have not been added so we only care about the
"if" cost.

The code originally used BRANCH_COST for that but was then changed
to COST_N_INSNS (2) - a compare and a jump.
This patch computes the jump costs via
  insn_cost (if_info.jump, ...)
which is supposed to incorporate the branch costs and, in case of a CC
comparison,
  pattern_cost (if_info.cond, ...)
which is supposed to account for the CC creation.

For compare_and_jump patterns insn_cost should have already computed
the right cost.

Does this "split" make sense, generally?

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86, aarch64 and power10.  Regtested
on riscv.

Regards
 Robin

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* ifcvt.cc (noce_process_if_block): Subtract condition pattern
	cost if applicable.
	(noce_find_if_block): Use insn_cost and pattern_cost for

OK.  Obviously we'll need to be on the lookout for regressions.  My bet 
is on s390 since you already tested the x86, aarch64 & p10 targets :-)

I just gave it a try on s390 where bootstrap and regtest were successful.

Is there any way we can avoid using pattern_cost here?  Using it means
that we can make use of targetm.insn_cost for the jump but circumvent
it for the condition, giving a bit of a mixed metric.

(I realise there are existing calls to pattern_cost in ifcvt.cc,
but if possible I think we should try to avoid adding more.)

Thanks,
Richard

Yes, I believe there is.  In addition, what I did with
if_info->cond wasn't what I intended to do.

The whole point of the exercise is that noce_convert_multiple_sets
can re-use the CC comparison that is already present (because it
is used in the jump pattern).  Therefore I want to split costs
into a jump part and a CC-setting part so the final costing
decision for multiple sets can be:

 insn_cost (jump) + n * insn_cost (set)
vs
 n * insn_cost ("cmov")

Still, the original costs should be:
 insn_cost (set_cc) + insn_cost (jump)
and with the split we can just remove insn_cost (set_cc) before
the multiple-set cost comparison and re-add it afterwards.

For non-CC targets this is not necessary.

So what I'd hope is better is to use
insn_cost (if_info.earliest_cond)
which is indeed the CC-set/comparison if it exists.

The attached v2 was bootstrapped and regtested on x86, aarch64 and
power10 and regtested on riscv64.

 Robin

I agree that's probably good enough in practice.  It doesn't cope
with things like:

	    /* Handle sequences like:

	       (set op0 (xor X Y))
	       ...(eq|ne op0 (const_int 0))...

	       in which case:

	       (eq op0 (const_int 0)) reduces to (eq X Y)
	       (ne op0 (const_int 0)) reduces to (ne X Y)

	       This is the form used by MIPS16, for example.  */

but then neither does the current code.  But...

...why do we do the adjustment here?  Doesn't noce_convert_multiple_sets_1
know for certain (or at least with more certainty) whether any of the
new instructions use the old CC result?  It seems like we could record
that and do the adjustment around the call to
targetm.noce_conversion_profitable_p.

The attached v3 tracks the use of cond_earliest as you suggested
and adds its cost in default_noce_conversion_profitable_p.

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86 and p10, aarch64 still
running.  Regtested on riscv64.

 Robin

Before noce_find_if_block processes a block it sets up an if_info
structure that holds the original costs.  At that point the costs of
the then/else blocks have not been added so we only care about the
"if" cost.

The code originally used BRANCH_COST for that but was then changed
to COST_N_INSNS (2) - a compare and a jump.

This patch computes the jump costs via
  insn_cost (if_info.jump, ...)
under the assumption that the target takes BRANCH_COST into account
when costing a jump instruction.

In noce_convert_multiple_sets, we keep track of the need for the initial
CC comparison.  If we needed it for the generated sequence we add its
cost in default_noce_conversion_profitable_p.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* ifcvt.cc (default_noce_conversion_profitable_p):  Add cost of
	CC comparison.
	(noce_convert_multiple_sets_1): Set use_cond_earliest.
	(noce_process_if_block): Just use original cost.
	(noce_find_if_block): Use insn_cost (jump_insn).
	* ifcvt.h (struct noce_if_info): Add use_cond_earliest.

I was looking at the code in more detail and just wanted to check.
We have:

  int last_needs_comparison = -1;

  bool ok = noce_convert_multiple_sets_1
    (if_info, &need_no_cmov, &rewired_src, &targets, &temporaries,
     &unmodified_insns, &last_needs_comparison);
  if (!ok)
      return false;

  /* If there are insns that overwrite part of the initial
     comparison, we can still omit creating temporaries for
     the last of them.
     As the second try will always create a less expensive,
     valid sequence, we do not need to compare and can discard
     the first one.  */
  if (last_needs_comparison != -1)
    {
      end_sequence ();
      start_sequence ();
      ok = noce_convert_multiple_sets_1
	(if_info, &need_no_cmov, &rewired_src, &targets, &temporaries,
	 &unmodified_insns, &last_needs_comparison);
      /* Actually we should not fail anymore if we reached here,
	 but better still check.  */
      if (!ok)
	  return false;
    }

But noce_convert_multiple_sets_1 ends with:

  /* Even if we did not actually need the comparison, we want to make sure
     to try a second time in order to get rid of the temporaries.  */
  if (*last_needs_comparison == -1)
    *last_needs_comparison = 0;


  return true;

AFAICT that means that the first attempt is always redundant.

Have I missed something?

I don't know if this was something that Manolis's patches addressed.

Thanks,
Richard

(I might not have fully gotten the question)

The idea is that the first attempt goes through all insns and sets
*last_need_comparison to the insn number that either
- used the condition/comparison by preferring seq1 or
- used the condition as a side-effect insn when creating a CC-using
  insn in seq2.
(And we only know that after actually creating the sequences). 

The second attempt then improves on the first one by skipping
any temporary destination registers after the last insn that required
the condition (even though its target overlaps with the condition
registers).  This is true for all cmovs that only use the CC
(instead of the condition).  Essentially, we know that all following
cmovs can be created via the CC which is not overwritten.

So, even when we never used the condition because of all CC-using
cmovs we would skip the temporary targets in the second attempt.
But we can't know that all we ever needed is the CC comparison
before actually creating the sequences in the first attempt.

Hmm, ok.  The bit that confused me most was:

  if (last_needs_comparison != -1)
    {
      end_sequence ();
      start_sequence ();
      ...
    }

which implied that the second attempt was made conditionally.
It seems like it's always used and is an inherent part of the
algorithm.

If the problem is tracking liveness, wouldn't it be better to
iterate over the "then" block in reverse order?  We would start
with the liveness set for the join block and update as we move
backwards through the "then" block.  This liveness set would
tell us whether the current instruction needs to preserve a
particular register.  That should make it possible to do the
transformation in one step, and so avoid the risk that the
second attempt does something that is unexpectedly different
from the first attempt.

FWIW, the reason for asking was that it seemed safer to pass
use_cond_earliest back from noce_convert_multiple_sets_1
to noce_convert_multiple_sets, as another parameter,
and then do the adjustment around noce_convert_multiple_sets's
call to targetm.noce_conversion_profitable_p.  That would avoid
the new for a new if_info field, which in turn would make it
less likely that stale information is carried over from one attempt
to the next (e.g. if other ifcvt techniques end up using the same
field in future).

Thanks,
Richard

I agree that the current approach is rather cumbersome.  Indeed
the second attempt was conditional at first and I changed it to
be unconditional after some patch iterations.
Your reverse-order idea sounds like it should work.  To further
clean up the algorithm we could also make it more explicit
that a "cmov" depends on either the condition or the CC and
basically track two separate paths through the block, one CC
path and one "condition" path.

I can surely do that as a follow up.  It might conflict with
Manolis's changes, though, so his work should probably be in
first.

Would something like the attached v4 be OK that uses a parameter
instead (I mean without having refactored the full algorithm)?
At least I changed the comment before the second attempt to
hopefully cause a tiny bit less confusion :)
I haven't fully bootstrapped it yet.

 Robin

Before noce_find_if_block processes a block it sets up an if_info
structure that holds the original costs.  At that point the costs of
the then/else blocks have not been added so we only care about the
"if" cost.

The code originally used BRANCH_COST for that but was then changed
to COST_N_INSNS (2) - a compare and a jump.

This patch computes the jump costs via
  insn_cost (if_info.jump, ...)
under the assumption that the target takes BRANCH_COST into account
when costing a jump instruction.

In noce_convert_multiple_sets, we keep track of the need for the initial
CC comparison.  If we needed it for the generated sequence we add its
cost before default_noce_conversion_profitable_p.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* ifcvt.cc (noce_convert_multiple_sets):  Define
	use_cond_earliest and adjust original cost if needed.
	(noce_convert_multiple_sets_1): Add param use_cond_earliest.
	(noce_process_if_block): Do not subtract CC cost anymore.
	(noce_find_if_block): Use insn_cost for costing jump insn.
