Momchil Velikov be302e6d43 cmd/compile: trim more blocks
- trim blocks with multiple predecessors
 - trim blocks, which contain only phi-functions
 - trim blocks, which can be merged into the successor block

As an example, compiling the following source:

---8<------
package p

type Node struct {
        Key         int
        Left, Right *Node
}

func Search(r *Node, k int) *Node {
        for r != nil {
                switch {
                case k == r.Key:
                        return r
                case k < r.Key:
                        r = r.Left
                default:
                        r = r.Right
                }
        }
        return nil
}
---8<------

with `GOSSAFUNC=Search" go tool compile t.go`, results in the following
code:

---8<------
genssa

b5    00024 (t.go:19)	RET
00025 (<unknown line number>)	END
---8<------

Note the jump at 18 jumps to another jump at 16.

Looking at the function after trimming:

--8<------
after trim [199 ns]

b1:
v1 = InitMem <mem>
v2 = SP <uintptr> : SP
v67 = Arg <*Node> {r} : r[*Node]
v59 = Arg <int> {k} : k[int]
v40 = LoadReg <int> v59 : AX
v34 = LoadReg <*Node> v67 : CX
Plain → b2

b2: ← b1 b4
v8 = Phi <*Node> v34 v68 : CX
v33 = TESTQ <flags> v8 v8
NE v33 → b9 b5 (likely)

b9: ← b2
v16 = MOVQload <int> v8 v1 : DX
v21 = CMPQ <flags> v16 v40
EQ v21 → b10 b13 (unlikely)

b13: ← b9
v64 = CMPQ <flags> v40 v16
LT v64 → b19 b21

b19: ← b13
v36 = MOVQload <*Node> [8] v8 v1 : CX
Plain → b4

b4: ← b21 b19                       <
v68 = Phi <*Node> v42 v36 : CX      <- no actual code
Plain → b2                          <

b21: ← b13
v42 = MOVQload <*Node> [16] v8 v1 : CX
Plain → b4

b10: ← b9
v28 = VarDef <mem> {~r2} v1
v29 = MOVQstore <mem> {~r2} v2 v8 v28
v30 = Copy <mem> v29
Ret v30

b5: ← b2
v44 = VarDef <mem> {~r2} v1
v45 = MOVQstoreconst <mem> {~r2} [val=0,off=0] v2 v44
v47 = Copy <mem> v45
Ret v47

--8<------

The jump at 16 corresponds to the edge b21 -> b4. The block b4 contains
only phi-ops, i.e. no actual code besides the jump to b2. However b4 is
not trimmed, because it a) has more than one predecessor, and b) it is
not empty.

This change enhances trim.go to remove more blocks, subject to the
following criteria:

 - block has predecessors (i.e. not the start block)

 - block is BlockPlain

 - block does not loop back to itself

 - block is the single predecessor of its successor; the instructions of
   the block are merged into the successor

 - block does no emit actual code, besides a possible unconditional
   jump.
     Currently only OpPhi are considered to not be actual code,
   perhaps OpKeepAlive/others should be considered too?

As an example, after the change, the block b4 is trimmed and the jump at
18 jumps directly to 8.

Revision 1: Adjust phi-ops arguments after merge

Ensure the number of phi-ops arguments matches the new number of
predecessors in the merged block.
When moving values, make them refer to the merged block.

Revision 2:
 - Make clear the intent that we do not want to trim the entry block
 - Double check that we are merging a phi operation
 - Minor code style fix
 - Fix a potentially dangerous situation when a blocks refers to the
   inline value space in another block

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!

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.
