Preserve branch weight metadata when merging instructions if one of the instructions is missing metadata. This is similar in behaviour to what we do today for other types of metadata such as mmra, memprof and callsite metadata.

Also add a legality check when merging prof metadata based on instruction type. Without this check GVN PRE optimizations result in prof metadata on phi nodes which break the module verifier.

Also add a legality check when merging prof metadata based on instruction type. Without this check GVN PRE optimizations result in prof metadata on phi nodes which break the module verifier.

Can you please explain in more detail what happens? This sounds suspicious.

Sure I can walk through what happens, though I am not familiar with GVN so I don't know why it happens. This is the reduced IR --

  br label %sw.bb21                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                              
sw.bb21:                                          ; preds = %sw.bb, %entry                                                                                    
  %l83 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c84 = select i1 %l83, i64 0, i64 4
  br label %sw.bb26

sw.bb26:                                          ; preds = %sw.bb21, %entry
  %l88 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c89 = select i1 %l88, i64 0, i64 4, !prof !0
  ret ptr null
}

The first step is a change to the cfg to split the critical edges. After this we get --

define fastcc ptr @foo(i8 %__pred.1.val) {
entry:
  switch i64 0, label %sw.bb [
    i64 1, label %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge
    i64 0, label %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge
  ]

entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge:                          ; preds = %entry
  br label %sw.bb21

entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge:                          ; preds = %entry
  br label %sw.bb26

sw.bb:                                            ; preds = %entry
  %l78 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c79 = select i1 %l78, i64 0, i64 4
  br label %sw.bb21

sw.bb21:                                          ; preds = %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge, %sw.bb
  %l83 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c84 = select i1 %l83, i64 0, i64 4
  br label %sw.bb26

sw.bb26:                                          ; preds = %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge, %sw.bb21
  %l88 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c89 = select i1 %l88, i64 0, i64 4, !prof !0
  ret ptr null
}

Then GVN moves %l83 and %c84 to entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge: and replaces them with phi nodes in sw.bb21. This transformation would not have triggered the behaviour if %c79 had branch prof data. The IR after this step is:

define fastcc ptr @foo(i8 %__pred.1.val) {
entry:
  switch i64 0, label %sw.bb [
    i64 1, label %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge
    i64 0, label %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge
  ]

entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge:                          ; preds = %entry
  %.pre = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %.pre1 = select i1 %.pre, i64 0, i64 4
  br label %sw.bb21

entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge:                          ; preds = %entry
  br label %sw.bb26

sw.bb:                                            ; preds = %entry
  %l78 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c79 = select i1 %l78, i64 0, i64 4
  br label %sw.bb21

sw.bb21:                                          ; preds = %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge, %sw.bb
  %c84.pre-phi = phi i64 [ %.pre1, %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge ], [ %c79, %sw.bb ]
  %l83.pre-phi = phi i1 [ %.pre, %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge ], [ %l78, %sw.bb ]
  br label %sw.bb26

sw.bb26:                                          ; preds = %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge, %sw.bb21
  %l88 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c89 = select i1 %l88, i64 0, i64 4, !prof !0
  ret ptr null
}

In the next step we, perform a similar transformation for the trunc and select (which has prof data) in sw.bb26. However this time we find the value in the PredMap and call patchReplacementInstruction. This in turn calls combineMetadataForCSE which ends up applying prof metadata onto a phi instruction. The IR after this step is shown below.

define fastcc ptr @foo(i8 %__pred.1.val) {
entry:
  switch i64 0, label %sw.bb [
    i64 1, label %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge
    i64 0, label %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge
  ]

entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge:                          ; preds = %entry
  %.pre = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %.pre1 = select i1 %.pre, i64 0, i64 4
  br label %sw.bb21

entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge:                          ; preds = %entry
  %.pre2 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %.pre3 = select i1 %.pre2, i64 0, i64 4, !prof !0
  br label %sw.bb26

sw.bb:                                            ; preds = %entry
  %l78 = trunc i8 %__pred.1.val to i1
  %c79 = select i1 %l78, i64 0, i64 4
  br label %sw.bb21

sw.bb21:                                          ; preds = %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge, %sw.bb
  %c84.pre-phi = phi i64 [ %.pre1, %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge ], [ %c79, %sw.bb ], !prof !0
  %l83.pre-phi = phi i1 [ %.pre, %entry.sw.bb21_crit_edge ], [ %l78, %sw.bb ]
  br label %sw.bb26

sw.bb26:                                          ; preds = %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge, %sw.bb21
  %c89.pre-phi = phi i64 [ %.pre3, %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge ], [ %c84.pre-phi, %sw.bb21 ]
  %l88.pre-phi = phi i1 [ %.pre2, %entry.sw.bb26_crit_edge ], [ %l83.pre-phi, %sw.bb21 ]
  ret ptr null
}

Regardless of whether this behaviour is intended in GVN, I think it's a good idea to check the legality of prof metadata before we attempt to merge.

I'll wait another day for additional comments, if there are none I'll merge this on Thursday.

…e is missing. (llvm#135418)

Preserve branch weight metadata when merging instructions if one of the
instructions is missing metadata. This is similar in behaviour to what
we do today for other types of metadata such as mmra, memprof and
callsite metadata.

Also add a legality check when merging prof metadata based on
instruction type. Without this check GVN PRE optimizations result in
prof metadata on phi nodes which break the module verifier.
