Liveness analysis over RTL


A register r is live at a point p if there exists a path from p to some instruction that uses r as argument, and r is not redefined along this path. Liveness can be computed by a backward dataflow analysis. The analysis operates over sets of (live) pseudo-registers.

Notation reg_live := Regset.add.
Notation reg_dead := Regset.remove.

Definition reg_option_live (or: option reg) (lv: Regset.t) :=
  match or with None => lv | Some r => reg_live r lv end.

Definition reg_sum_live (ros: reg + ident) (lv: Regset.t) :=
  match ros with inl r => reg_live r lv | inr s => lv end.

Fixpoint reg_list_live
             (rl: list reg) (lv: Regset.t) {struct rl} : Regset.t :=
  match rl with
  | nil => lv
  | r1 :: rs => reg_list_live rs (reg_live r1 lv)
  end.

Fixpoint reg_list_dead
             (rl: list reg) (lv: Regset.t) {struct rl} : Regset.t :=
  match rl with
  | nil => lv
  | r1 :: rs => reg_list_dead rs (reg_dead r1 lv)
  end.

Here is the transfer function for the dataflow analysis. Since this is a backward dataflow analysis, it takes as argument the abstract register set ``after'' the given instruction, i.e. the registers that are live after; and it returns as result the abstract register set ``before'' the given instruction, i.e. the registers that must be live before. The general relation between ``live before'' and ``live after'' an instruction is that a register is live before if either it is one of the arguments of the instruction, or it is not the result of the instruction and it is live after. However, if the result of a side-effect-free instruction is not live ``after'', the whole instruction will be removed later (since it computes a useless result), thus its arguments need not be live ``before''.

Definition transfer
            (f: RTL.function) (pc: node) (after: Regset.t) : Regset.t :=
  match f.(fn_code)!pc with
  | None =>
      Regset.empty
  | Some i =>
      match i with
      | Inop s =>
          after
      | Iop op args res s =>
          if Regset.mem res after then
            reg_list_live args (reg_dead res after)
          else
            after
      | Iload chunk addr args dst s =>
          if Regset.mem dst after then
            reg_list_live args (reg_dead dst after)
          else
            after
      | Istore chunk addr args src s =>
          reg_list_live args (reg_live src after)
      | Icall sig ros args res s =>
          reg_list_live args
           (reg_sum_live ros (reg_dead res after))
      | Icond cond args ifso ifnot =>
          reg_list_live args after
      | Ireturn optarg =>
          reg_option_live optarg Regset.empty
      | Iatomic aop args res s =>
          reg_list_live args (reg_dead res after)
      | Ifence s =>
          after
      | Ithreadcreate fn arg s =>
          reg_list_live (fn :: arg :: nil) after
      end
  end.

The liveness analysis is then obtained by instantiating the general framework for backward dataflow analysis provided by module Kildall.

Module RegsetLat := LFSet(Regset).
Module DS := Backward_Dataflow_Solver(RegsetLat)(NodeSetBackward).

Definition analyze (f: RTL.function): option (PMap.t Regset.t) :=
  DS.fixpoint (successors f) (transfer f) nil.

Translation from RTL to LTL


Require Import LTL.

Each RTL instruction translates to an LTL instruction. The register assignment assign returned by register allocation is applied to the arguments and results of the RTL instruction. Moreover, dead instructions and redundant moves are eliminated (turned into a Lnop instruction). Dead instructions are instructions without side-effects (Iop and Iload) whose result register is dead, i.e. whose result value is never used. Redundant moves are moves whose source and destination are assigned the same location.

Definition is_redundant_move
    (op: operation) (args: list reg) (res: reg) (assign: reg -> loc) : bool :=
  match is_move_operation op args with
  | None => false
  | Some src => if Loc.eq (assign src) (assign res) then true else false
  end.

Definition transf_instr
         (f: RTL.function) (live: PMap.t Regset.t) (assign: reg -> loc)
         (pc: node) (instr: RTL.instruction) : LTL.instruction :=
  match instr with
  | Inop s =>
      Lnop s
  | Iop op args res s =>
      if Regset.mem res live!!pc then
        if is_redundant_move op args res assign then
          Lnop s
        else
          Lop op (List.map assign args) (assign res) s
      else
        Lnop s
  | Iload chunk addr args dst s =>
      if Regset.mem dst live!!pc then
        Lload chunk addr (List.map assign args) (assign dst) s
      else
        Lnop s
  | Istore chunk addr args src s =>
      Lstore chunk addr (List.map assign args) (assign src) s
  | Icall sig ros args res s =>
      Lcall sig (sum_left_map assign ros) (List.map assign args)
                (assign res) s
  | Icond cond args ifso ifnot =>
      Lcond cond (List.map assign args) ifso ifnot
  | Ireturn optarg =>
      Lreturn (option_map assign optarg)
  | Iatomic aop args res s =>
      Latomic aop (List.map assign args) (assign res) s
  | Ifence s =>
      Lfence s
  | Ithreadcreate fn arg s =>
      Lthreadcreate (assign fn) (assign arg) s
  end.

Definition transf_fun (f: RTL.function) (live: PMap.t Regset.t)
                      (assign: reg -> loc) : LTL.function :=
  LTL.mkfunction
     (RTL.fn_sig f)
     (List.map assign (RTL.fn_params f))
     (RTL.fn_stacksize f)
     (PTree.map (transf_instr f live assign) (RTL.fn_code f))
     (RTL.fn_entrypoint f).

The translation of a function performs liveness analysis, construction and coloring of the inference graph, and per-instruction transformation as described above.

Definition live0 (f: RTL.function) (live: PMap.t Regset.t) :=
  transfer f f.(RTL.fn_entrypoint) live!!(f.(RTL.fn_entrypoint)).

    | None => Error (msg "Liveness analysis failure")
    | Some live =>

        | None => Error (msg "Incorrect graph coloring")
        | Some assign => OK (transf_fun f live assign)

    end
  end.
