Re: FW: [PATCH] DATA_ALIGNMENT vs. DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT (PR target/56564)

2013-06-19 Thread Igor Zamyatin
The change also affects vectorizer in avx case which could be seen for
gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loop-19.c test.

After the change report says

loop-19_bad.c:16: note: === vect_analyze_data_refs_alignment ===
loop-19_bad.c:16: note: vect_compute_data_ref_alignment:
loop-19_bad.c:16: note: can't force alignment of ref: a[j_9]
loop-19_bad.c:16: note: vect_compute_data_ref_alignment:
loop-19_bad.c:16: note: can't force alignment of ref: c[j_9]

AFAICS first condition in ix86_data_alignment was true before the
change so 256 was a return value.

Do we need to tweak this test also?

Thanks,

 Hi!

 This PR is about DATA_ALIGNMENT macro increasing alignment of some decls for 
 optimization purposes beyond ABI mandated levels.  It is fine to emit the 
 vars aligned as much as we want for optimization purposes, but if we can't be 
 sure that references to that decl bind to the definition we increased the 
 alignment on (e.g. common variables, or -fpic code without hidden visibility, 
 weak vars etc.), we can't assume that alignment.
 As DECL_ALIGN is used for both the alignment emitted for the definitions and 
 alignment assumed on code referring to it, this patch increases DECL_ALIGN 
 only on decls where decl_binds_to_current_def_p is true, and otherwise the 
 optimization part on top of that emits only when aligning definition.
 On x86_64, DATA_ALIGNMENT macro was partly an optimization, partly ABI 
 mandated alignment increase, so I've introduced a new macro, 
 DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT, which is the ABI mandated increase only (on x86-64 I 
 think the only one is that arrays with size 16 bytes or more (and VLAs, but 
 that is not handled by DATA*ALIGNMENT) are at least 16 byte aligned).

 Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux.  No idea about other 
 targets, I've kept them all using DATA_ALIGNMENT, which is considered 
 optimization increase only now, if there is some ABI mandated alignment 
 increase on other targets, that should be done in DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT as well 
 as DATA_ALIGNMENT.  The patch causes some vectorization regressions (tweaked 
 in the testsuite), especially for common vars where we used to align say 
 common arrays to 256 bits rather than the ABI mandated 128 bits, or for -fpic 
 code, but I'm afraid we need to live with that, if you compile another file 
 with say icc or some other compiler which doesn't increase alignment beyond 
 ABI mandated level and that other file defines the var say as non-common, we 
 have wrong-code.

Not much.  gcc as Apple shipped it, has always been no-common, and indeed the 
shared library scheme doesn't like common.  There are a few test cases that 
would need -fcommon, but I don't think that is a big deal.  Most oss I think is 
-fno-common friendly.  I think gcc should default to c99, and I think c99 mode 
(and later) could use -fno-common by default.  For pre c99 modes, I'd probably 
just leave it to the dust bin of history.

The revised patch, without the DECL_P part is okay.

The original code produced the necessary alignment and neither of us

PPC vector types.  While there is the possibility that a user could
encounter an object file produced by an older GCC with less strict

Right.  Counterpoint is that gcc made exactly the same sort of error

vec_align x = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };

long f2 (void) { return (long)y  31; }

compiles to

.L.f2:
li 3,0
blr
..
.globl y
.lcomm  y,16,32

My implementation of rs6000_data_alignment therefore doesn't introduce
a *new* ABI incompatibility.  I question whether it is worth
complicating rs6000_data_alignment, especially since your suggestion
of using the older buggy alignment in DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT then
increasing in DATA_ALIGNMENT isn't as simple as it sounds.  We're
not talking about some fixed increase in DATA_ALIGNMENT but what we
want is the value of alignment before DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT.  Perhaps
that could be retrieved from TYPE_ALIGN (type) and
MAX_OFILE_ALIGNMENT, but that would make our DATA_ALIGNMENT the only
target to need such tricks.

 So this alignment is not optional.

Vector type alignment is also specified by the ppc64 abi.  I think we
want the following.  Note that DATA_ALIGNMENT has been broken for
vectors right from the initial vector support (and the error was
copied for e500 double).  For example

typedef int vec_align __attribute__ ((vector_size(16), aligned(32)));
vec_align x = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };

currently loses the extra alignment.  Fixed by never decreasing

  So this alignment is not optional.
 
 Vector type alignment is also specified by the ppc64 abi.  I think we
 want the following.  Note that DATA_ALIGNMENT has been broken for
 vectors right from the initial vector support (and the error was
 copied for e500 double).  For example
 
 typedef int vec_align __attribute__ ((vector_size(16), aligned(32)));
 vec_align x = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
 
 currently loses the extra alignment.  Fixed by never decreasing
 alignment in DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT.  Testing in progress.  OK to
 apply assuming bootstrap is good?  (I think I need a change in
 offsettable_ok_by_alignment too.  I'll do that in a separate patch.)

Revised patch with offsettable_ok_by_alignment change, avoiding dumb
idea of using statement expressions.  This one actually bootstraps and
passes regression testing.

It is handling !DECL_P trees, which must be local.  I know I saw
STRING_CST here when I wrote offsettable_ok_by_alignment, hence the
use of CONSTANT_ALIGNMENT.  I'm not so sure about the need for
DATA_ALIGNMENT now, but if it was correct before then we ought to

The e500v2 (SPE) hardware is such that if the address of vector (double world

So this alignment is not optional.

 This PR is about DATA_ALIGNMENT macro increasing alignment of some decls
 for optimization purposes beyond ABI mandated levels.  It is fine to emit
 the vars aligned as much as we want for optimization purposes, but if we
 can't be sure that references to that decl bind to the definition we
 increased the alignment on (e.g. common variables, or -fpic code without
 hidden visibility, weak vars etc.), we can't assume that alignment.

 When the linker merges common blocks, it chooses both maximum size and maximum
 alignment.  Thus for any common block for which we can prove the block must
 reside in the module (any executable, or hidden common in shared object), we
 can go ahead and use the increased alignment.

 It's only in shared objects with non-hidden common blocks that we have a
 problem, since in that case we may resolve the common block via copy reloc to 
 a
 memory block in another module.

 So while decl_binds_to_current_def_p is a good starting point, I think we can
 do a little better with common blocks.  Which ought to take care of those
 vectorization regressions you mention.

 This structure would seem to do the wrong thing if DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT is
 defined, but DATA_ALIGNMENT isn't.  And while I realize you documented it, I
 don't like the restriction that D_A /must/ return something larger than D_A_A.
  All that means is that in complex cases D_A will have to call D_A_A itself.

 I would think that it would be better to rearrange as

   if (!D_U_A)
 {
   #ifdef D_A_A
   align = ...
   #endif
   #ifdef D_A
   if (d_b_t_c_d_p)
 align = ...
   #endif
 }

 Why the special case for TLS?  If we really want that special case surely that
 test should go into D_A_A itself, and not here in generic code.

 Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux.  No idea about other
 targets, I've kept them all using DATA_ALIGNMENT, which is considered
 optimization increase only now, if there is some ABI mandated alignment
 increase on other targets, that should be done in DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT as
 well as DATA_ALIGNMENT.

 I've had a brief look over the instances of D_A within the tree atm.  Most of
 them carry the cut-n-paste comment for the same reasons.  These I believe
 never intended an ABI change, and were really only interested in optimization.

 But these I think require a good hard look to see if they really intended an
 ABI alignment:

 c6x comment explicitly mentions abi
 criscompiler options for alignment -- systemwide or local?
 mmixcomment mentions GETA instruction
 s390comment mentions LARL instruction
 rs6000  SPE and E500 portion of the alignment non-optional?

On s390(x) it is indeed an ABI requirement that all global symbols

if a symbol is marked as attribute((aligned(1)), but that attribute
must then be present for every use, too.)

 Oh, right.  I hadn't considered commons unifying with non-common variables,
 and the failure of commoning in that case.  I'd mostly been thinking of
 uninitialized Fortran-like common blocks, where it is more common for the
 blocks to have nothing in common but the name.

 Ok, here is what I've committed to trunk (will wait for some time before
 backporting).  As discussed with Honza on IRC, decl_binds_to_current_def_p
 will need further fixing, it does the wrong thing for extern int var
 __attribute__((visibility (hidden))) or hidden DECL_COMMON symbols.

 And, we don't have any feedback about SPE/E500 rs6000 - DATA_ALIGNMENT vs.
 DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT yet.

SPE/e500 support was written by Aldy.  He or someone from Freescale

Right now it is unfortunately part of ABI, which is something the patch

alignment the way it used to be, but code will no longer assume it is that
much aligned, unless it is DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT).

Then mmix would probably want to define DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT instead of

 Yeah, I guess I can rearrange it.  The reason I wrote it that way was to
 avoid an extra function call, but that is probably not big enough overhead.

Here is the code rearranged so that DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT is independent of
DATA_ALIGNMENT.  The rest of stuff is kept as is.

As for the commons getting bigger alignment than the ABI has for them, I'm
afraid the linker usually has no option but to warn and don't do anything.
Because if the non-common definition that is supposed to win over the common
one isn't sufficiently aligned (and it could be aligned just to the ABI
mandated boundary), that definition could be already in the middle of say
.data or other section and so the linker doesn't have the luxury of aligning
it individually.

E.g. vect_can_force_dr_alignment_p has been changed some time ago to:
  /* We cannot change alignment of common or external symbols as another
 translation unit may contain a definition with lower alignment.
 The rules of common symbol linking mean that the definition
 will override the common symbol.  The same is true for constant
 pool entries which may be shared and are not properly merged
 by LTO.  */
  if (DECL_EXTERNAL (decl)
  || DECL_COMMON (decl)
  || DECL_IN_CONSTANT_POOL (decl))
return false;
but at that point we haven't changed align_variable.  Thus perhaps we want
in align_variable handle DECL_COMMON the same way as we handle TLS with 
word alignment.

[PATCH] DATA_ALIGNMENT vs. DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT (PR target/56564)

2013-06-07 Thread Jakub Jelinek
Hi!

This PR is about DATA_ALIGNMENT macro increasing alignment of some decls
for optimization purposes beyond ABI mandated levels.  It is fine to emit
the vars aligned as much as we want for optimization purposes, but if we
can't be sure that references to that decl bind to the definition we
increased the alignment on (e.g. common variables, or -fpic code without
hidden visibility, weak vars etc.), we can't assume that alignment.
As DECL_ALIGN is used for both the alignment emitted for the definitions
and alignment assumed on code referring to it, this patch increases
DECL_ALIGN only on decls where decl_binds_to_current_def_p is true,
and otherwise the optimization part on top of that emits only when
aligning definition.
On x86_64, DATA_ALIGNMENT macro was partly an optimization, partly ABI
mandated alignment increase, so I've introduced a new macro,
DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT, which is the ABI mandated increase only (on x86-64
I think the only one is that arrays with size 16 bytes or more (and VLAs,
but that is not handled by DATA*ALIGNMENT) are at least 16 byte aligned).

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux.  No idea about other
targets, I've kept them all using DATA_ALIGNMENT, which is considered
optimization increase only now, if there is some ABI mandated alignment
increase on other targets, that should be done in DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT as
well as DATA_ALIGNMENT.  The patch causes some vectorization regressions
(tweaked in the testsuite), especially for common vars where we used to
align say common arrays to 256 bits rather than the ABI mandated 128 bits,
or for -fpic code, but I'm afraid we need to live with that, if you compile
another file with say icc or some other compiler which doesn't increase
alignment beyond ABI mandated level and that other file defines the var say
as non-common, we have wrong-code.

So while decl_binds_to_current_def_p is a good starting point, I think we can

I special case TLS for backwards ABI compatibility with GCC = 4.8.1,
because we ignored DATA_ALIGNMENT for TLS vars, even if what it returned
wasn't just an optimization, but ABI requirement.  So, if you have:
__thread char a[16] = { 1, 2 };
in one shared library and
__thread char a[16] = { 1, 2 };
use (a);
in another shared library, compile one with GCC 4.8.1 e.g. and the other one
with 4.9.0, if use (a) would assume the psABI mandated 16 byte alignment,
but the actual definition was from 4.8.1 compiled object and was only 1 byte
aligned, it could crash.  Also, neither DATA_ALIGNMENT nor DATA_ABI_ALIGNMENT 
sees
the decl itself, it just looks at type and previously assumed alignment.
