Keith Randall 305a0ac123 cmd/compile: move phi args which are constants closer to the phi
entry:
   x = MOVQconst [7]
   ...
b1:
   goto b2
b2:
   v = Phi(x, y, z)

Transform that program to:

entry:
   ...
b1:
   x = MOVQconst [7]
   goto b2
b2:
   v = Phi(x, y, z)

This CL moves constant-generating instructions used by a phi to the
appropriate immediate predecessor of the phi's block.

We used to put all constants in the entry block.  Unfortunately, in
large functions we have lots of constants at the start of the
function, all of which are used by lots of phis throughout the
function.  This leads to the constants being live through most of the
function (especially if there is an outer loop).  That's an O(n^2)
problem.

Note that most of the non-phi uses of constants have already been
folded into instructions (ADDQconst, MOVQstoreconst, etc.).

This CL may be generally useful for other instances of compiler
slowness, I'll have to check.  It may cause some programs to run
slower, but probably not by much, as rematerializeable values like
these constants are allocated late (not at their originally scheduled
location) anyway.

This CL is definitely a minimal change that can be considered for 1.7.
We probably want to do a better job in the tighten pass generally, not
just for phi args.  Leaving that for 1.8.

Update #16407

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
