runtime.scanobject contains this bit of code:

// Mark the object.
if obj, hbits, span, objIndex := heapBitsForObject(obj, b, i); obj != 0 {
	greyobject(obj, b, i, hbits, span, gcw, objIndex)
}

This compiles to (excerpt):

The loads at instructions 0x025e, 0x0267, 0x026c, and 0x0271 are too early. They're loading return values from heapBitsForObject, but if the call to greyobject isn't necessary (if the jump at 0x0279 isn't taken), their values are unnecessary and will be overwritten. This is easy enough to see in the original code as well.

The loads are scheduled where they are due to memory ordering. But maybe there's something we can do to improve the situation, perhaps using the knowledge that stack slots and function return values are always disjoint in memory?

CL https://golang.org/cl/37300 mentions this issue.

josharian added a commit to josharian/go that referenced this issue Mar 1, 2017
The tighten pass moves values closer
to the blocks in which they are used.
Prior to this CL, values that took a memory arg
were never moved, because that could cause
multiple memory values to be live across blocks.

However, there are in fact cases in which such a
value can safely be moved across blocks.
The most common such case is loading the return
values from a function call when only one
control flow path actually uses those return values.
In that case, we were unnecessarily eagerly loading
all return values from the stack.

This CL delays the decision about whether a value
with a memory arg can be moved until we know
where we'd like to move it to.
Once we know the target block, we can check whether
moving the value will cause problems.
This CL uses a simple check: If an existing value
in the target block already uses the same memory arg,
and the value cannot fault,
then it must be ok to add another use of it.

This is enough to improve the situation in scanobject.

Observe that after this CL, the return values from
heapBitsForObject are only loaded in a single control flow path.

Alias analysis plus tighten plus a load-sinking pass is clever enough to push the loads down until they absolutely need to be loaded. In this particular example the shuffling within the destination basic block doesn't help much, but it appears to help most go programs. Geomean improvement in go1bench is about 6% right now.

philhofer added a commit to philhofer/go that referenced this issue Mar 19, 2017
This change introduces alias analysis into the ssa
backend, and uses it to tighten some loads with their uses.

Since stack loads are non-faulting, tighten is now often able
to postpone loading function return values until their uses.
Given code like

    res, ok := fn()
    if !ok {
        return
    }
    // use res

The 'res' return value won't be loaded until after examining 'ok.'

Fixed golang#19195

CL https://golang.org/cl/38448 mentions this issue.

philhofer added a commit to philhofer/go that referenced this issue Mar 23, 2017
This change introduces alias analysis into the ssa
backend, and uses it to tighten some loads with their uses.

Given code like

    res, ok := fn()
    if !ok {
        return
    }
    // use res

The 'res' return value won't be loaded until after examining 'ok.'

Alias analysis also enables tightening of loads from
constant memory (strings) and certain autotmp stack slots.

A follow-up CL will introduce alias analysis to dead-store
elimination. Another will introduce load elimination.

philhofer added a commit to philhofer/go that referenced this issue Mar 23, 2017
This change introduces alias analysis into the ssa
backend, and uses it to tighten some loads with their uses.

Given code like

    res, ok := fn()
    if !ok {
        return
    }
    // use res

The 'res' return value won't be loaded until after examining 'ok.'

Alias analysis also enables tightening of loads from
constant memory (strings) and certain autotmp stack slots.

A follow-up CL will introduce alias analysis to dead-store
elimination. Another will introduce load elimination.

The tighten pass moves values closer
to the blocks in which they are used.
Prior to this CL, values that took a memory arg
were never moved, because that could cause
multiple memory values to be live across blocks.

However, there are in fact cases in which such a
value can safely be moved across blocks.
The most common such case is loading the return
values from a function call when only one
control flow path actually uses those return values.
In that case, we were unnecessarily eagerly loading
all return values from the stack.

This CL delays the decision about whether a value
with a memory arg can be moved until we know
where we'd like to move it to.
Once we know the target block, we can check whether
moving the value will cause problems.
This CL uses a simple check: If an existing value
in the target block already uses the same memory arg,
and the value cannot fault,
then it must be ok to add another use of it.

This is enough to improve the situation in scanobject.

Observe that after this CL, the return values from
heapBitsForObject are only loaded in a single control flow path.
