1//! Putting the blocks in an order, and turning the edges between them into jumps.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/10-backend.md` section 10.6.
4//!
5//! Up to here a function is a set of blocks and a set of edges, and nothing has said which block
6//! comes first in memory. A machine has no such thing: it runs the instruction after the one it
7//! just ran, so an order is not a presentation detail but the last piece of what the function
8//! means. This is what chooses one, and then writes the jumps that make the edges the order did
9//! not put next to each other still go where they went.
10//!
11//! # What the order is
12//!
13//! Two orders, and which one is used is what `-freorder-blocks` asks about.
14//!
15//! At `-O0`, reverse postorder over the CFG, with each block's successors walked in reverse, and
16//! anything unreachable put at the end in block order. That is the order `spec/10-backend.md`
17//! section 10.3 asks for, and it is not arbitrary. Walking the successors in reverse is what
18//! makes the first arm of a branch come out first, because a depth-first walk finishes its last
19//! child first and reverse postorder then puts that child last. So an `if` with no `else` falls
20//! through into its body, and a loop comes out as its header, its body and then whatever follows
21//! it, which is the shape where the back edge is the only jump in it.
22//!
23//! Above it, traces: the software trace cache construction of
24//! `spec/optimizer/38-scheduling-and-layout.md` section 38.4, which is `traces` below.
25//!
26//! Unreachable blocks are laid out rather than deleted. Deleting one is a decision about what the
27//! program does and this pass has no business making it, and a block nothing reaches costs the
28//! bytes it occupies and nothing else.
29//!
30//! # What a block looks like afterwards
31//!
32//! A block still holds where it goes, and it still holds every arm, which is what keeps the
33//! control flow graph readable after this has run. What changes is that the order the arms are in
34//! now means something it did not mean before:
35//!
36//! ```text
37//!   no arms      it returns
38//!   one arm      it falls into that block if that block is next, and jumps to it if not
39//!   two arms     a test and a conditional jump to the first, and the second is always next
40//! ```
41//!
42//! So a jump target is a block without an instruction growing a field for one.
43//! `rucc_mir::InstData` is twenty four bytes by assertion and a block reference does not fit in
44//! it, and every pass over the graph already reads the arms, so putting the target where the
45//! graph already is costs nothing and keeps the two from disagreeing.
46//!
47//! Which arm is which is no longer which way the condition went, because a block that falls into
48//! the arm the condition is true for is a block whose jump has to be taken when it is false. That
49//! is what the two conditional jumps in [`BranchInsts`] are for, and it is why the arms may come
50//! out swapped: what the condition meant is in the opcode afterwards, and what the arms mean is
51//! where the jump goes and what comes next.
52//!
53//! # The one block none of that is true of
54//!
55//! A block that ends in the jump through a register, which is what a computed `goto` is selected
56//! as. Where it goes is in the register, so the arms are the whole list of places it might arrive
57//! at and there may be any number of them. Nothing is written here for such a block: the jump is
58//! already in it, none of its arms is fallen into and none is jumped to from here, and a jump
59//! written behind that one would be a jump nothing reaches. The arms stay on the block for the
60//! reason they stay on every other one, which is that the liveness and this pass both read them.
61//!
62//! # The block a branch sometimes needs
63//!
64//! A branch whose second arm cannot be laid out next, because both its arms are blocks the walk
65//! has already been to, would need two jumps in one block. Rather than write one, this makes the
66//! block it needs: an empty one on the second edge, laid out immediately after the branch, that
67//! jumps where the edge went. That is exactly the critical edge splitting in [`crate::split`],
68//! done for a different reason, and it costs the same jump the second jump would have cost while
69//! leaving every block with at most one.
70//!
71//! # The test a comparison makes unnecessary
72//!
73//! Almost every branch a C program writes is on a comparison, and a comparison has already set
74//! the flags by the time the byte it wrote is tested against itself. So where the instruction in
75//! front of the branch is that comparison, and the branch is the whole of what reads its byte,
76//! the byte and the test both go and the jump names the condition the comparison was asked about
77//! instead of naming zero. Three instructions become two, and the two are what the machine has a
78//! comparison and a conditional jump for.
79//!
80//! This is where it happens rather than anywhere earlier because of what the flags are. Between
81//! the comparison and the jump they are live and they are not a register: no pass could be told
82//! about them, so no pass may put an instruction between the two. After this one there is no pass
83//! left, which is the whole of the argument, and it is the same argument
84//! `rucc_target::x86_64::Form::CmpSet` is one form rather than two under.
85//!
86//! What this cannot work out for itself is whether the byte has another reader. Every register is
87//! physical by the time this runs and a physical register is written many times in a function, so
88//! the question has to be asked while they are still virtual and written once. [`fusable`] is that
89//! question, asked before allocation, and its answer is one of the arguments to [`blocks`]. The
90//! same arrangement, and for the same reason, as the addresses [`crate::finish`] has still to
91//! write and [`crate::fold`] is handed.
92//!
93//! # Why it runs last
94//!
95//! [`crate::finish`] finds the blocks a function returns from by looking for the ones that go
96//! nowhere. Nothing here creates one of those, but everything here reads and writes the arms, and
97//! a pass that reorders them is one nothing before it should be looking at. Running the layout
98//! after the prologue and the epilogue are in is also what makes the epilogue something it can
99//! lay out around rather than something it has to leave room for.

175///
176/// Design: `spec/optimizer/38-scheduling-and-layout.md` section 38.4, which quotes
177/// `gcc/bb-reorder.cc:32` on why there is more than one round: a first round that only follows
178/// the arms almost always taken builds the trunk of the function, and the rounds below it pick up
179/// what is left without being able to break the trunk apart. It costs one more pass over the
180/// blocks per round and it is the difference between "stc" and "simple".
181///
182/// A round is a pair. The first number is how likely an arm has to be for the trace to follow it,
183/// in parts of [`mir::Weight::SCALE`], which is GCC's branch threshold. The second is how often
184/// the block at the end of that arm has to run, in the same parts of how often the function is
185/// entered, which is GCC's exec threshold. The last round asks for nothing, which is what makes
186/// every block end up somewhere.
187///
188/// The eight numbers are GCC's own, out of `branch_threshold` and `exec_threshold` in
189/// `gcc/bb-reorder.cc`, in ten thousandths where GCC writes thousandths. Two things about them
190/// are worth saying out loud because both were got wrong here first.
191///
192/// The branch threshold is low. Two fifths, not nine tenths: an arm taken half the time is an arm
193/// the first round follows, and since one arm of a two way branch always is, the first round walks
194/// straight through an unpredicted function the way a depth first walk would. A high threshold
195/// stops the trace at every branch nothing predicted, which is most of them, and hands both arms
196/// back to the seed list to be laid out by weight, and weight is exactly what has nothing to say
197/// about them.
198///
199/// The exec threshold is against the entry and not against the hottest block. A block that runs
200/// once per call is a block in the trunk of the function, and measuring it against a loop that
201/// runs twenty times a call makes the whole trunk cold: the preheader of every loop lands at the
202/// end of the function behind a jump, which is the opposite of what this is for.
203const ROUNDS: [(u64, u64); 4] = [(4_000, 5_000), (2_000, 2_000), (1_000, 500), (0, 0)];
204
205/// The order the blocks are laid out in above `-O0`, which is traces grown from the hottest
206/// blocks outwards.
207///
208/// Design: `spec/optimizer/38-scheduling-and-layout.md` section 38.4.
209///
210/// A trace is a run of blocks that control is expected to walk straight through. It is grown from
211/// a seed by repeatedly taking the arm most likely to be the one taken, stopping when no arm is
212/// likely enough for the round or when the likeliest one leads somewhere the layout has already
213/// been. Every block is a seed in some round, the hotter ones first, and the traces come out in
214/// the order they were grown. So the function's trunk is laid out first and contiguously, its
215/// error paths end up behind it, and the branch that leaves the trunk is the one that costs a
216/// jump.
217///
218/// The entry is the first seed whatever its weight, because on this machine a function is entered
219/// at its first byte and the block laid out first is the block that runs first. A hotter block
220/// inside a loop would otherwise take the seat.
221///
222/// The traces are then run together by [`connect`], which is what keeps a run of blocks the rounds
223/// cut in half from coming out in two places.
224///
225/// # Which block the next trace starts at
226///
227/// Not simply the hottest one left. A block something already laid out goes to comes first, and
228/// among those the one with the hottest edge into it, which is [`Seed`] and which is GCC's
229/// `bb_to_key` in `gcc/bb-reorder.cc`. The reason is the whole of what a layout costs: a block laid
230/// out in front of everything that reaches it pays a jump on every one of those paths and saves
231/// nothing, and a block laid out behind the trace that reaches it pays nothing on the path that
232/// falls into it. Seeding by weight alone gets this wrong on the commonest shape in C, which is two
233/// arms that both end at one block: the block both arms join at is the hottest of the three and
234/// goes first, and then both arms jump to it.
235///
236/// # Loop rotation, and where it comes from
237///
238/// Section 38.4 asks for the loop to be rotated so that its exit is the last block of the trace,
239/// and there is no step here that does it. It falls out of the walk instead: a trace that enters
240/// a loop header follows the body, reaches the latch, finds that the latch's likeliest arm is the
241/// header it has already laid out, and stops. The exit is then a seed of its own and comes next.
242/// That is the rotated order, back edge running backwards and exit falling through, arrived at
243/// from the greedy rule rather than from a rule about loops.
244///
245/// What that does not cover is a loop whose header is its exit test and whose body is cold, where
246/// GCC would duplicate the header. Section 38.4 says the first version should not copy code and
247/// this does not.
