[AArch64] New pass for code layout optimizations. (#184434) This pass is intended to optimize code layout prior to AsmPrinter. The initial version handles two known cases: I. FCMP-FCSEL II. CMP/CMN-CSEL, 32-bit only Using existing directives, the pass induces function-alignment (of 64-bytes by default) when a pair is detected, and possibly induces block-alignment of up to 4-bytes on top of that if the pair would straddle cache-lines. Beyond performance improvement, this pass reduces noise due to code layout thus stabilizes measured performance over-time. For example, knock-out effects on a "sensitive function" won't be triggered by codegen changes outside it. Enabled by default on processors with the new `FeatureAlignCmpCSelPairs` subtarget feature (gated per sub-case by `FeatureFuseCmpCSel` / `FeatureFuseFCmpFCSel`); each case can also be forced through the `-aarch64-code-layout-opt` enumerated bit-mask --------- Co-authored-by: Jon Roelofs <jroelofs@gmail.com> rdar://171283264
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
