This patch adds separate params for rtl unroller so that they can be
tunned accordingly. Default values I have are based on some testing on
aarch64. I am happy to leave it as the current value and set them in
the back-end.

Thanks,
Kugan


gcc/ChangeLog:

2017-09-12  Kugan Vivekanandarajah  <kuganv@linaro.org>

    * loop-unroll.c (decide_unroll_constant_iterations): Use new params.
    (decide_unroll_runtime_iterations): Likewise.
    (decide_unroll_stupid): Likewise.
    * params.def (DEFPARAM): Separate and add new params for rtl unroller.

PARAM_MAX_AVERAGE_UNROLLED_INSNS is only used by the RTL
unroller.  Why should we separate PARAM_MAX_UNROLL_TIMES?

PARAM_MAX_UNROLLED_INSNS is only used by gimple passes
that perform unrolling.  Since GIMPLE is three-address it should
match RTL reasonably well -- but I'd be ok in having a separate param
for those.  But I wouldn't name those 'partial'.

That said, those are magic numbers and I expect we can find some
that work well on RTL and GIMPLE.

Richard.

Thanks for the review. I am mostly interested in having separate
params for RTL runtime unrolling as this is different to what GIMPLE
unroller does. May be I should have separate params only for the
runtime unrolling (or the partial unroller)  and let RTL/GIMPLE share
the other. Any preference here ? Any preference on the name ?

I am suspecting that RTL unroller which does the same as GIMPLE is
kind of obsolete now?

Thanks,
Kugan

Why?  Do you just want to have more magic knobs to machine-auto-tune?

We do not have a GIMPLE loop unroller pass.  On GIMPLE we only do
complete peeling as a separate pass and several passes perform
unrolling as part of their transform.

Sorry for my terminology. I was referring to complete unrolling of
loops in tree-sea-loop-ivcanon.c. In any case, what I am interested in
is partial unrolling of loops in loop-unroll.c. For Falkor at least,
partially unrolling of small loops that satisfies certain condition
seems to improve performance. Since this is not enabled by default and
some of the params are also shared by other optimisations (as you also
have pointed out), I thought that having separate params for
loop-unroll.c will limit the interference of changing this params on
other optimisations. My initial patch was wrong and this should only
separate params that are shared.

And also, is anyone working on a partial unroller for Gimple? I would
like to give it a try if no one is working on this. Is there any
preferences here.

Thanks,
Kugan

Well, as the complete peeling doesn't use those params but only
passes that perform "partial" unrolling I see nothing wrong with sharing
the parameters.

People have talked about it but I'm not aware of actual implementations.
Though an implementation is quite trivial with the interesting piece being
the costing (as usual).
