4. Chapter 4: Adding JIT and Optimizer Support
Written by Chris Lattner and Max
Shawabkeh
4.1. Introduction
Welcome to Chapter 4 of the Implementing a language with
LLVM tutorial. Chapters
1-3 described the implementation of a simple language and added support
for generating LLVM IR. This chapter describes two new techniques:
adding optimizer support to your language, and adding JIT compiler
support. These additions will demonstrate how to get nice, efficient
code for the Kaleidoscope language.
4.2. Trivial Constant Folding
Our demonstration for Chapter 3 is elegant and easy to extend.
Unfortunately, it does not produce wonderful code. The LLVM Builder,
however, does give us obvious optimizations when compiling simple code:
ready> def test(x) 1+2+x
Read function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
ret double %addtmp
}
This code is not a literal transcription of the AST built by parsing the
input. That would be:
ready> def test(x) 1+2+x
Read function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double 2.000000e+00, 1.000000e+00
%addtmp1 = fadd double %addtmp, %x
ret double %addtmp1
}
Constant folding, as seen above, in particular, is a very common and
very important optimization: so much so that many language implementors
implement constant folding support in their AST representation.
With LLVM, you don’t need this support in the AST. Since all calls to
build LLVM IR go through the LLVM IR builder, the builder itself checked
to see if there was a constant folding opportunity when you call it. If
so, it just does the constant fold and return the constant instead of
creating an instruction.
Well, that was easy :). In practice, we recommend always using
llvm.core.Builder when generating code like this. It has no
“syntactic overhead” for its use (you don’t have to uglify your compiler
with constant checks everywhere) and it can dramatically reduce the
amount of LLVM IR that is generated in some cases (particular for
languages with a macro preprocessor or that use a lot of constants).
On the other hand, the Builder is limited by the fact that it does
all of its analysis inline with the code as it is built. If you take a
slightly more complex example:
ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2))
Read a function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x ; <double> [#uses=1]
%addtmp1 = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00 ; <double> [#uses=1]
%multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp1 ; <double> [#uses=1]
ret double %multmp
}
In this case, the LHS and RHS of the multiplication are the same value.
We’d really like to see this generate”tmp = x+3; result = tmp*tmp;
instead of computing x+3 twice.
Unfortunately, no amount of local analysis will be able to detect and
correct this. This requires two transformations: reassociation of
expressions (to make the add’s lexically identical) and Common
Subexpression Elimination (CSE) to delete the redundant add instruction.
Fortunately, LLVM provides a broad range of optimizations that you can
use, in the form of “passes”.
4.3. LLVM Optimization Passes
LLVM provides many optimization passes, which do many different sorts of
things and have different tradeoffs. Unlike other systems, LLVM doesn’t
hold to the mistaken notion that one set of optimizations is right for
all languages and for all situations. LLVM allows a compiler implementor
to make complete decisions about what optimizations to use, in which
order, and in what situation.
As a concrete example, LLVM supports both “whole module” passes, which
look across as large of body of code as they can (often a whole file,
but if run at link time, this can be a substantial portion of the whole
program). It also supports and includes “per-function” passes which just
operate on a single function at a time, without looking at other
functions. For more information on passes and how they are run, see the
How to Write a Pass
document and the List of LLVM
Passes.
For Kaleidoscope, we are currently generating functions on the fly, one
at a time, as the user types them in. We aren’t shooting for the
ultimate optimization experience in this setting, but we also want to
catch the easy and quick stuff where possible. As such, we will choose
to run a few per-function optimizations as the user types the function
in. If we wanted to make a “static Kaleidoscope compiler”, we would use
exactly the code we have now, except that we would defer running the
optimizer until the entire file has been parsed.
In order to get per-function optimizations going, we need to set up a
FunctionPassManager
to hold and organize the LLVM optimizations that we want to run. Once we
have that, we can add a set of optimizations to run. The code looks like
this:
# The function optimization passes manager.
g_llvm_pass_manager = FunctionPassManager.new(g_llvm_module)
# The LLVM execution engine.
g_llvm_executor = ExecutionEngine.new(g_llvm_module)
...
def main():
# Set up the optimizer pipeline. Start with registering info about how the
# target lays out data structures.
g_llvm_pass_manager.add(g_llvm_executor.target_data)
# Do simple "peephole" optimizations and bit-twiddling optzns.
g_llvm_pass_manager.add(PASS_INSTRUCTION_COMBINING)
# Reassociate expressions.
g_llvm_pass_manager.add(PASS_REASSOCIATE)
# Eliminate Common SubExpressions.
g_llvm_pass_manager.add(PASS_GVN)
# Simplify the control flow graph (deleting unreachable blocks, etc).
g_llvm_pass_manager.add(PASS_CFG_SIMPLIFICATION)
g_llvm_pass_manager.initialize()
This code defines a FunctionPassManager, g_llvm_pass_manager.
Once it is set up, we use a series of “add” calls to add a bunch of LLVM
passes. The first pass is basically boilerplate, it adds a pass so that
later optimizations know how the data structures in the program are laid
out. (The “g_llvm_executor” variable is related to the JIT, which
we will get to in the next section.) In this case, we choose to add 4
optimization passes. The passes we chose here are a pretty standard set
of “cleanup” optimizations that are useful for a wide variety of code. I
won’t delve into what they do but, believe me, they are a good starting
place :).
Once the pass manager is set up, we need to make use of it. We do this
by running it after our newly created function is constructed (in
FunctionNode.CodeGen), but before it is returned to the client:
return_value = self.body.CodeGen()
g_llvm_builder.ret(return_value)
# Validate the generated code, checking for consistency.
function.verify()
# Optimize the function.
g_llvm_pass_manager.run(function)
As you can see, this is pretty straightforward. The
FunctionPassManager optimizes and updates the LLVM Function in
place, improving (hopefully) its body. With this in place, we can try
our test above again:
ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2))
Read a function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00 ; <double> [#uses=2]
%multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp ; <double> [#uses=1]
ret double %multmp
}
As expected, we now get our nicely optimized code, saving a floating
point add instruction from every execution of this function.
LLVM provides a wide variety of optimizations that can be used in
certain circumstances. Some documentation about the various
passes is available, but it
isn’t very complete. Another good source of ideas can come from looking
at the passes that llvm-gcc or llvm-ld run to get started. The
opt tool allows you to experiment with passes from the command line,
so you can see if they do anything.
Now that we have reasonable code coming out of our front-end, lets talk
about executing it!
4.4. Adding a JIT Compiler
Code that is available in LLVM IR can have a wide variety of tools
applied to it. For example, you can run optimizations on it (as we did
above), you can dump it out in textual or binary forms, you can compile
the code to an assembly file (.s) for some target, or you can JIT
compile it. The nice thing about the LLVM IR representation is that it
is the “common currency” between many different parts of the compiler.
In this section, we’ll add JIT compiler support to our interpreter. The
basic idea that we want for Kaleidoscope is to have the user enter
function bodies as they do now, but immediately evaluate the top-level
expressions they type in. For example, if they type in “1 + 2”, we
should evaluate and print out 3. If they define a function, they should
be able to call it from the command line.
In order to do this, we first declare and initialize the JIT. This is
done by adding and initializing a global variable:
# The LLVM execution engine.
g_llvm_executor = ExecutionEngine.new(g_llvm_module)
This creates an abstract “Execution Engine” which can be either a JIT
compiler or the LLVM interpreter. LLVM will automatically pick a JIT
compiler for you if one is available for your platform, otherwise it
will fall back to the interpreter.
Once the ExecutionEngine is created, the JIT is ready to be used. We
can use the run_function method of the execution engine to execute a
compiled function and get its return value. In our case, this means that
we can change the code that parses a top-level expression to look like
this:
def HandleTopLevelExpression(self):
try:
function = self.ParseTopLevelExpr().CodeGen()
result = g_llvm_executor.run_function(function, [])
print 'Evaluated to:', result.as_real(Type.double())
except Exception, e:
print 'Error:', e
try:
self.Next() # Skip for error recovery.
except:
pass
Recall that we compile top-level expressions into a self-contained LLVM
function that takes no arguments and returns the computed double.
With just these two changes, lets see how Kaleidoscope works now!
ready> 4+5
Read a top level expression:
define double @0() {
entry:
ret double 9.000000e+00
}
Evaluated to: 9.0
Well this looks like it is basically working. The dump of the function
shows the “no argument function that always returns double” that we
synthesize for each top-level expression that is typed in. This
demonstrates very basic functionality, but can we do more?
ready> def testfunc(x y) x + y*2
Read a function definition:
define double @testfunc(double %x, double %y) {
entry:
%multmp = fmul double %y, 2.000000e+00 ; <double> [#uses=1]
%addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %x ; <double> [#uses=1]
ret double %addtmp
}
ready> testfunc(4, 10)
Read a top level expression:
define double @0() {
entry:
%calltmp = call double @testfunc(double 4.000000e+00, double 1.000000e+01) ; <double> [#uses=1]
ret double %calltmp
}
*Evaluated to: 24.0*
This illustrates that we can now call user code, but there is something
a bit subtle going on here. Note that we only invoke the JIT on the
anonymous functions that call testfunc, but we never invoked it on
testfunc itself. What actually happened here is that the JIT scanned
for all non-JIT’d functions transitively called from the anonymous
function and compiled all of them before returning from
run_function().
The JIT provides a number of other more advanced interfaces for things
like freeing allocated machine code, rejit’ing functions to update them,
etc. However, even with this simple code, we get some surprisingly
powerful capabilities - check this out (I removed the dump of the
anonymous functions, you should get the idea by now :) :
ready> extern sin(x)
Read an extern:
declare double @sin(double)
ready> extern cos(x)
Read an extern:
declare double @cos(double)
ready> sin(1.0)
*Evaluated to: 0.841470984808*
ready> def foo(x) sin(x) *sin(x) + cos(x)* cos(x)
Read a function definition:
define double @foo(double %x) {
entry:
%calltmp = call double @sin(double %x) ; <double> [#uses=1]
%calltmp1 = call double @sin(double %x) ; <double> [#uses=1]
%multmp = fmul double %calltmp, %calltmp1 ; <double> [#uses=1]
%calltmp2 = call double @cos(double %x) ; <double> [#uses=1]
%calltmp3 = call double @cos(double %x) ; <double> [#uses=1]
%multmp4 = fmul double %calltmp2, %calltmp3 ; <double> [#uses=1]
%addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %multmp4 ; <double> [#uses=1]
ret double %addtmp
}
ready> foo(4.0)
*Evaluated to: 1.000000*
Whoa, how does the JIT know about sin and cos? The answer is
surprisingly simple: in this example, the JIT started execution of a
function and got to a function call. It realized that the function was
not yet JIT compiled and invoked the standard set of routines to resolve
the function. In this case, there is no body defined for the function,
so the JIT ended up calling dlsym("sin") on the Python process that
is hosting our Kaleidoscope prompt. Since sin is defined within the
JIT’s address space, it simply patches up calls in the module to call
the libm version of sin directly.
One interesting application of this is that we can now extend the
language by writing arbitrary C++ code to implement operations. For
example, we can create a C file with the following simple function:
#include <stdio.h>
double putchard(double x) {
putchar((char)x); return 0;
}
We can then compile this into a shared library with GCC:
gcc -shared -fPIC -o putchard.so putchard.c
Now we can load this library into the Python process using
llvm.core.load_library_permanently and access it from Kaleidoscope
to produce simple output to the console:
>>> import llvm.core
>>> llvm.core.load_library_permanently('/home/max/llvmpy-tutorial/putchard.so')
>>> import kaleidoscope
>>> kaleidoscope.main()
ready> extern putchard(x)
Read an extern:
declare double @putchard(double)
ready> putchard(65) + putchard(66) + putchard(67) + putchard(10)
*ABC*
Evaluated to: 0.0
Similar code could be used to implement file I/O, console input, and
many other capabilities in Kaleidoscope.
This completes the JIT and optimizer chapter of the Kaleidoscope
tutorial. At this point, we can compile a non-Turing-complete
programming language, optimize and JIT compile it in a user-driven way.
Next up we’ll look into extending the language with control flow
constructs, tackling some interesting LLVM IR
issues along the way.
