- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
Hi,
this patch adds basic TBAA for pointers to LTO. The basic scheme is simple;
because TYPE_CANONICAL is not really needed by get_alias_set, we completely
drop the caluclation of these (which also saves about 50% canonical type hash
searches) and update get_alias_set to not punt on pointers with
TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY.
The patch makes quite nice improvements (32%) on number of disambiguations on
dealII (that is my random C++ testbed):
Before:
[WPA] GIMPLE canonical type table: size 16381, 817 elements, 35453 searches, 91 collisions (ratio: 0.002567)
[WPA] GIMPLE canonical type pointer-map: 817 elements, 15570 searches
after:
[WPA] GIMPLE canonical type table: size 16381, 822 elements, 14863 searches, 114 collisions (ratio: 0.007670)
[WPA] GIMPLE canonical type pointer-map: 822 elements, 12663 searches
The number of disambiguations goes 1713472->2331078 (32%)
and number of queries goes 3387753->3669698 (8%)
We get code size growth 677527->701782 (3%)
Also a query is disambiguated 63% of the time instead of 50% we had before.
Clearly there are many areas for improvements (since functions are
TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY in LTO we ptr_type_node alias set on them), but that
M
can wait for next stage1.
lto-bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux and also used it in my tree for quite
a while, so the patch was tested on Firefox and other applications.
OK?
Honza
* alias.c (get_alias_set): Do structural equality for pointer types;
drop LTO specific path.
* lto.c (iterative_hash_canonical_type): Do not compute TYPE_CANONICAL
for pointer types.
(gimple_register_canonical_type_1): Likewise.
(gimple_register_canonical_type): Likewise.
(lto_register_canonical_types): Do not clear canonical types of pointer
types.
