<h3 class="section">18.17 Adjusting the Instruction Scheduler</h3>

<p>The instruction scheduler may need a fair amount of machine-specific
adjustment in order to produce good code.  GCC provides several target
hooks for this purpose.  It is usually enough to define just a few of
them: try the first ones in this list first.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fSCHED_005fISSUE_005fRATE"></a>Target Hook: <em>int</em> <strong>TARGET_SCHED_ISSUE_RATE</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook returns the maximum number of instructions that can ever
issue at the same time on the target machine.  The default is one.
Although the insn scheduler can define itself the possibility of issue
an insn on the same cycle, the value can serve as an additional
constraint to issue insns on the same simulated processor cycle (see
hooks &lsquo;<samp>TARGET_SCHED_REORDER</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>TARGET_SCHED_REORDER2</samp>&rsquo;).
This value must be constant over the entire compilation.  If you need
it to vary depending on what the instructions are, you must use
&lsquo;<samp>TARGET_SCHED_VARIABLE_ISSUE</samp>&rsquo;.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fSCHED_005fVARIABLE_005fISSUE"></a>Target Hook: <em>int</em> <strong>TARGET_SCHED_VARIABLE_ISSUE</strong> <em>(FILE *<var>file</var>, int <var>verbose</var>, rtx_insn *<var>insn</var>, int <var>more</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook is executed by the scheduler after it has scheduled an insn
from the ready list.  It should return the number of insns which can
still be issued in the current cycle.  The default is
&lsquo;<samp><var>more</var>&nbsp;<span class="nolinebreak">-</span>&nbsp;1<!-- /@w --></samp>&rsquo; for insns other than <code>CLOBBER</code> and
<code>USE</code>, which normally are not counted against the issue rate.
You should define this hook if some insns take more machine resources
than others, so that fewer insns can follow them in the same cycle.
<var>file</var> is either a null pointer, or a stdio stream to write any
debug output to.  <var>verbose</var> is the verbose level provided by
<samp>-fsched-verbose-<var>n</var></samp>.  <var>insn</var> is the instruction that
was scheduled.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fSCHED_005fADJUST_005fCOST"></a>Target Hook: <em>int</em> <strong>TARGET_SCHED_ADJUST_COST</strong> <em>(rtx_insn *<var>insn</var>, int <var>dep_type1</var>, rtx_insn *<var>dep_insn</var>, int <var>cost</var>, unsigned int <var>dw</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This function corrects the value of <var>cost</var> based on the
relationship between <var>insn</var> and <var>dep_insn</var> through a
dependence of type dep_type, and strength <var>dw</var>.  It should return the new
value.  The default is to make no adjustment to <var>cost</var>.  This can be
used for example to specify to the scheduler using the traditional pipeline
description that an output- or anti-dependence does not incur the same cost
as a data-dependence.  If the scheduler using the automaton based pipeline
description, the cost of anti-dependence is zero and the cost of
output-dependence is maximum of one and the difference of latency
times of the first and the second insns.  If these values are not
acceptable, you could use the hook to modify them too.  See also
see <a href="Processor-pipeline-description.html#Processor-pipeline-description">Processor pipeline description</a>.

<dd><p>This hook adjusts the integer scheduling priority <var>priority</var> of
<var>insn</var>.  It should return the new priority.  Increase the priority to
execute <var>insn</var> earlier, reduce the priority to execute <var>insn</var>
later.  Do not define this hook if you do not need to adjust the
scheduling priorities of insns.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fSCHED_005fREORDER"></a>Target Hook: <em>int</em> <strong>TARGET_SCHED_REORDER</strong> <em>(FILE *<var>file</var>, int <var>verbose</var>, rtx_insn **<var>ready</var>, int *<var>n_readyp</var>, int <var>clock</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook is executed by the scheduler after it has scheduled the ready
list, to allow the machine description to reorder it (for example to
combine two small instructions together on &lsquo;<samp>VLIW</samp>&rsquo; machines).
<var>file</var> is either a null pointer, or a stdio stream to write any
debug output to.  <var>verbose</var> is the verbose level provided by
<samp>-fsched-verbose-<var>n</var></samp>.  <var>ready</var> is a pointer to the ready
list of instructions that are ready to be scheduled.  <var>n_readyp</var> is
a pointer to the number of elements in the ready list.  The scheduler
reads the ready list in reverse order, starting with
<var>ready</var>[<var>*n_readyp</var> - 1] and going to <var>ready</var>[0].  <var>clock</var>
is the timer tick of the scheduler.  You may modify the ready list and
the number of ready insns.  The return value is the number of insns that
can issue this cycle; normally this is just <code>issue_rate</code>.  See also
&lsquo;<samp>TARGET_SCHED_REORDER2</samp>&rsquo;.

<dd><p>Like &lsquo;<samp>TARGET_SCHED_REORDER</samp>&rsquo;, but called at a different time.  That
function is called whenever the scheduler starts a new cycle.  This one
is called once per iteration over a cycle, immediately after
&lsquo;<samp>TARGET_SCHED_VARIABLE_ISSUE</samp>&rsquo;; it can reorder the ready list and
return the number of insns to be scheduled in the same cycle.  Defining
this hook can be useful if there are frequent situations where
scheduling one insn causes other insns to become ready in the same
cycle.  These other insns can then be taken into account properly.

<dd><p>This hook is used to check whether two insns should be macro fused for
a target microarchitecture. If this hook returns true for the given insn pair
(<var>prev</var> and <var>curr</var>), the scheduler will put them into a sched
group, and they will not be scheduled apart.  The two insns will be either
two SET insns or a compare and a conditional jump and this hook should
validate any dependencies needed to fuse the two insns together.

<dd><p>This hook is called after evaluation forward dependencies of insns in
chain given by two parameter values (<var>head</var> and <var>tail</var>
correspondingly) but before insns scheduling of the insn chain.  For
example, it can be used for better insn classification if it requires
analysis of dependencies.  This hook can use backward and forward
dependencies of the insn scheduler because they are already
calculated.

<dd><p>This hook is executed by the scheduler at the beginning of each block of
instructions that are to be scheduled.  <var>file</var> is either a null
pointer, or a stdio stream to write any debug output to.  <var>verbose</var>
is the verbose level provided by <samp>-fsched-verbose-<var>n</var></samp>.
<var>max_ready</var> is the maximum number of insns in the current scheduling

<dd><p>This hook controls better choosing an insn from the ready insn queue
for the <acronym>DFA</acronym>-based insn scheduler.  Usually the scheduler
chooses the first insn from the queue.  If the hook returns a positive
value, an additional scheduler code tries all permutations of
&lsquo;<samp>TARGET_SCHED_FIRST_CYCLE_MULTIPASS_DFA_LOOKAHEAD ()</samp>&rsquo;
subsequent ready insns to choose an insn whose issue will result in
maximal number of issued insns on the same cycle.  For the
<acronym>VLIW</acronym> processor, the code could actually solve the problem of
packing simple insns into the <acronym>VLIW</acronym> insn.  Of course, if the
rules of <acronym>VLIW</acronym> packing are described in the automaton.
</p>
<p>This code also could be used for superscalar <acronym>RISC</acronym>
processors.  Let us consider a superscalar <acronym>RISC</acronym> processor
with 3 pipelines.  Some insns can be executed in pipelines <var>A</var> or
<var>B</var>, some insns can be executed only in pipelines <var>B</var> or
<var>C</var>, and one insn can be executed in pipeline <var>B</var>.  The
processor may issue the 1st insn into <var>A</var> and the 2nd one into
<var>B</var>.  In this case, the 3rd insn will wait for freeing <var>B</var>
until the next cycle.  If the scheduler issues the 3rd insn the first,
the processor could issue all 3 insns per cycle.
</p>
<p>Actually this code demonstrates advantages of the automaton based
pipeline hazard recognizer.  We try quickly and easy many insn
schedules to choose the best one.
</p>
<p>The default is no multipass scheduling.

<p>This hook controls what insns from the ready insn queue will be

<dd><p>This hook is used to define which dependences are considered costly by
the target, so costly that it is not advisable to schedule the insns that

to this hook are as follows:  The first parameter <var>_dep</var> is the dependence
being evaluated.  The second parameter <var>cost</var> is the cost of the
dependence as estimated by the scheduler, and the third
parameter <var>distance</var> is the distance in cycles between the two insns.

important.  In such targets one may want to allow issuing dependent insns

<dd><p>This hook is called by scheduling fusion pass.  It calculates fusion
priorities for each instruction passed in by parameter.  The priorities
are returned via pointer parameters.
</p>
<p><var>insn</var> is the instruction whose priorities need to be calculated.
<var>max_pri</var> is the maximum priority can be returned in any cases.
<var>fusion_pri</var> is the pointer parameter through which <var>insn</var>&rsquo;s
fusion priority should be calculated and returned.
<var>pri</var> is the pointer parameter through which <var>insn</var>&rsquo;s priority
should be calculated and returned.
</p>
<p>Same <var>fusion_pri</var> should be returned for instructions which should
be scheduled together.  Different <var>pri</var> should be returned for
instructions with same <var>fusion_pri</var>.  <var>fusion_pri</var> is the major
sort key, <var>pri</var> is the minor sort key.  All instructions will be
scheduled according to the two priorities.  All priorities calculated
should be between 0 (exclusive) and <var>max_pri</var> (inclusive).  To avoid
false dependencies, <var>fusion_pri</var> of instructions which need to be
scheduled together should be smaller than <var>fusion_pri</var> of irrelevant
instructions.
</p>
<p>Given below example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">    ldr r10, [r1, 4]
    add r4, r4, r10
    ldr r15, [r2, 8]
    sub r5, r5, r15
    ldr r11, [r1, 0]
    add r4, r4, r11
    ldr r16, [r2, 12]
    sub r5, r5, r16
</pre></div>

<p>On targets like ARM/AArch64, the two pairs of consecutive loads should be
merged.  Since peephole2 pass can&rsquo;t help in this case unless consecutive
loads are actually next to each other in instruction flow.  That&rsquo;s where
this scheduling fusion pass works.  This hook calculates priority for each
instruction based on its fustion type, like:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">    ldr r10, [r1, 4]  ; fusion_pri=99,  pri=96
    add r4, r4, r10   ; fusion_pri=100, pri=100
    ldr r15, [r2, 8]  ; fusion_pri=98,  pri=92
    sub r5, r5, r15   ; fusion_pri=100, pri=100
    ldr r11, [r1, 0]  ; fusion_pri=99,  pri=100
    add r4, r4, r11   ; fusion_pri=100, pri=100
    ldr r16, [r2, 12] ; fusion_pri=98,  pri=88
    sub r5, r5, r16   ; fusion_pri=100, pri=100
</pre></div>

<p>Scheduling fusion pass then sorts all ready to issue instructions according
to the priorities.  As a result, instructions of same fusion type will be
pushed together in instruction flow, like:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">    ldr r11, [r1, 0]
    ldr r10, [r1, 4]
    ldr r15, [r2, 8]
    ldr r16, [r2, 12]
    add r4, r4, r10
    sub r5, r5, r15
    add r4, r4, r11
    sub r5, r5, r16
</pre></div>

<p>Now peephole2 pass can simply merge the two pairs of loads.
</p>
<p>Since scheduling fusion pass relies on peephole2 to do real fusion
work, it is only enabled by default when peephole2 is in effect.
</p>
<p>This is firstly introduced on ARM/AArch64 targets, please refer to
the hook implementation for how different fusion types are supported.
