Runtime: Inlined Struct wrapper .ctors are non-zero cost

Created on 19 Jun 2018  路  68Comments  路  Source: dotnet/runtime

(Some now fixed by https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/19429)

This is problematic for example when adding formatting and/or buffering capabilities over Span<T>

As seen in "Add support for BufferWriter<T> to the JsonWriter" https://github.com/dotnet/corefxlab/pull/2366

When a struct wraps a struct (but has no additional fields) it becomes a non-zero cost abstraction for its constructor (but not method calls) e.g. sharplab.io

Given

using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

public static class Program
{  
   public static void ViaClass()
   {
       var c = new C();
       c.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct1()
   {
       var s1 = new S1(new C());
       s1.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct2()
   {
       var s2 = new S2(new S1(new C()));
       s2.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct3()
   {
       var s3 = new S3(new S2(new S1(new C())));
       s3.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct4()
   {
       var s4 = new S4(new S3(new S2(new S1(new C()))));
       s4.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct5()
   {
       var s5 = new S5(new S4(new S3(new S2(new S1(new C())))));
       s5.M();
   }
}

public class C 
{
    [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
    public void M()
    {
    }
}

public struct S1
{
    private C _c;

    public S1(C c) => _c = c;    
    public void M() => _c.M();
}

public struct S2
{
    private S1 _s;

    public S2(S1 s) => _s = s;    
    public void M() => _s.M();
}

public struct S3
{
    private S2 _s;

    public S3(S2 s) => _s = s;    
    public void M() => _s.M();
}

public struct S4
{
    private S3 _s;

    public S4(S3 s) => _s = s;    
    public void M() => _s.M();
}

public struct S5
{
    private S4 _s;

    public S5(S4 s) => _s = s;    
    public void M() => _s.M();
}

Each additional wrapper introduces redundant work in the asm e.g.

Could be -- the jit will be very conservative in places because of aliasing worries.

I'll take a look, maybe early next week some time?

Method calls themselves are almost zero cost, or at least don't increase at same rate:

   public static void ViaClass(C c)
   {
       c.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct3(S1 s1)
   {
       s1.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct3(S2 s2)
   {
       s2.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct3(S3 s3)
   {
       s3.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct4(S4 s4)
   {
       s4.M();
   }

   public static void ViaStruct5(S5 s5)
   {
       s5.M();
   }

This becomes more problematic as the size of the original struct increases, for example Span<T> wrappers: sharplab.io

using System;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

public static class Program
{  
   public static int ViaStruct1(Span<Byte> s)
   {
       var s1 = new S1(s);
       return s1.Length;
   }

   public static int ViaStruct2(Span<Byte> s)
   {
       var s2 = new S2(new S1(s));
       return s2.Length;
   }

   public static int ViaStruct3(Span<Byte> s)
   {
       var s3 = new S3(new S2(new S1(s)));
       return s3.Length;
   }

   public static int ViaStruct4(Span<Byte> s)
   {
       var s4 = new S4(new S3(new S2(new S1(s))));
       return s4.Length;
   }

   public static int ViaStruct5(Span<Byte> s)
   {
       var s5 = new S5(new S4(new S3(new S2(new S1(s)))));
       return s5.Length;
   }
}

public ref struct S1
{
    private Span<Byte> _s;

    public S1(Span<Byte> s) => _s = s;    
    public int Length => _s.Length;
}

public ref struct S2

Again the method call wrapping doesn't increase in complexity

   public static int ViaStruct(S1 s)
       => s.Length;

   public static int ViaStruct(S2 s)
       => s.Length;

   public static int ViaStruct(S3 s)
       => s.Length;

   public static int ViaStruct(S4 s)
       => s.Length;

   public static int ViaStruct(S5 s)
       => s.Length;

Giving

Last time I looked there were some quirks in how the RA's preferencing worked could lead to this behavior. I tried tweaking this some with dotnet/coreclr#16028 but am not convinced it really helped much.

If you have just the right pattern of live ranges -- something like a local with long span between first def and last use (and intermittent liveness) and a bunch of chained temps within -- the RA wants to restore the local to the same reg at each point it becomes live. So you can get a back and forth pattern going, and by layering inlines like you do here, you can extend it to alarming lengths.

Note one of the proposals for UTF8 wraps ReadyOnlySpan (or perhaps ReadOnlyMemory) somewhat like this...

Can't get the overall size of the ref struct as all my tools work with a generic param, and ref structs don't like that; but the example I was looking at in https://github.com/dotnet/corefxlab/pull/2366

JsonWriterPerf.cs#L210-L212

JsonWriterUtf8 jsonUtf8 = JsonWriter.CreateUtf8(output, prettyPrint);
// Inlines:
// return new JsonWriterUtf8(BufferWriter.Create(new IBufferWriter(bufferWriter)), prettyPrint);
// public IBufferWriter(IBufferWriter<byte> writer)
//     IBufferWriter<byte> _writer;
// static BufferWriter<TOutput> Create<TOutput>(TOutput output)
//     new BufferWriter<TOutput>(output);
//     public ref partial struct BufferWriter<T> where T : IBufferWriter<byte>
//        IBufferWriter _output;
//        Span<byte> _span;
//        int _buffered;
//        ReadOnlySpan<byte> NewLine
// new JsonWriterUtf8
//    ref struct JsonWriterUtf8
//        JsonWriterUtf8<IBufferWriter>
// new JsonWriterUtf8<IBufferWriter>(bufferWriter, prettyPrint);
//    ref struct JsonWriterUtf8<JsonWriterUtf8<IBufferWriter>>
//         readonly bool _prettyPrint;
//         BufferWriter<JsonWriterUtf8<IBufferWriter>> _bufferWriter;
//         int _indent;
//         bool _firstItem;
json.WriteObjectStart();

Becomes

// JsonWriterUtf8 json = JsonWriter.CreateUtf8(output, formatted);

Interesting that I see different disassembly from BenchmarkDotNet (both on .Net Core 2.1 and .Net Framework 4.7.2):

Interesting that I see different disassembly from BenchmarkDotNet (both on .Net Core 2.1 and .Net Framework 4.7.2):

So is less worse in Core 2,1; but still not great as they should all collapse to be the same as the class (when inlined) rather than shuffling the pointer back and forth between the registers and then moving it higher and higher through stack space, before returning it to the original register and invoking call

The JIT compilers are different between the two: (.Net Core 2.1 and .Net Framework 4.7.2):
With Net Core 2.1 being newer.

Guessing would also effect the sync path in async as that is lots of structs wrapping structs? (though exception handling may complicate things)

I suppose an orthogonal question is why it generates:

Also note struct promotion is not as general as one might hope -- struct of structs generally won't get promoted except in one very special case (struct of struct of primitive).

Excuse my poor drawings...

What I was hoping it would do when all the .ctors were inlined and then optimized would be:
image

Requiring sizeof(Struct5) of stack space; if it was a single pointer promotion would be a bonus.

However what it seems to do is

image

Requiring sizeof(Struct5) + sizeof(Struct4) + sizeof(Struct3) + sizeof(Struct2) + sizeof(Struct1) of stack space and lots of copy ops.

If I've got that right?

Could be -- the jit will be very conservative in places because of aliasing worries.

I'll take a look, maybe early next week some time?

That would be great! I think async has the same issue

e.g.

static async Task<int> Main(string[] args)
{
    return await ValueTask1();
}

public static async ValueTask<int> ValueTask1()
{
    return await ValueTask2().ConfigureAwait(false);
}

public static ValueTask<int> ValueTask2()
{
    return new ValueTask<int>(1);
}

Generates <ValueTask1>d__1:MoveNext() *JitDump the same sort of things for its inlined .ctors

Cutting out 184 bytes of copy to and from stack?

Yes, the first case is a limitation in struct promotion.... given a pointer-sized non-float primitive type x, the jit can promote struct(x) and struct(struct(x)) but not cases with three or more levels of wrapper.

The changes here are a rough cut at arbitrary unwrapping... but the diffs aren't as clean as one might hope, as the register shuffling is still there, and for some reason we still have one struct hanging around:

We should be able to further generalize I think... let me play with this some more.

As detailed in https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/30655#issuecomment-400317238, the micro benchmark shows a 10x speed difference between getting a flat struct vs. a one level nested struct, and irrespective if the fields are primitives or not.

Any performance enhancements with wrapped structs would help all ConfigureAwait() calls, and would be _super useful_ when awaiting completed tasks.

Thanks.

It is not as easy to promote struct(struct(x, y)) as it is to promote struct(x, struct(y)), as in the former the number of fields changes. The jit's nested struct promotion is quite limited and put there to ensure mainly that Span<T> can be promoted: it contains two fields, one a nested struct ByReference<T> with one field.

To generalize here, we probably need to augment the jit promotion descriptors with something more like the field sequence info, so we can have promotion trees, and then work through all the implications....

The AsyncVoidMethodBuilder:Create change diff is good (@stephentoub this is the one for awaiting a non generic Task?)

However, the AsyncValueTaskMethodBuilder:Create would suggest its not necessarily going to be a clean win?

The AsyncVoidMethodBuilder:Create change diff is good (@stephentoub Stephen Toub FTE this is the one for awaiting a non generic Task?)

AsyncVoidMethodBuilder is the builder for async void methods, e.g.
```C#
public async void Foo() { }

produces a stub like:
```C#
[AsyncStateMachine(typeof(<Foo>d__0))]
public void Foo()
{
    <Foo>d__0 <Foo>d__ = default(<Foo>d__0);
    <Foo>d__.<>t__builder = AsyncVoidMethodBuilder.Create();
    <Foo>d__.<>1__state = -1;
    AsyncVoidMethodBuilder <>t__builder = <Foo>d__.<>t__builder;
    <>t__builder.Start(ref <Foo>d__);
}

Ah... shame. Am not worried about the code gen for async void; that's just a form of trouble 馃槈

Would it be possible to fold (last use) into each other? Or wouldn't it be a common enough pattern?

Maybe that's what Copy Propagation should be doing?

Would it be possible to fold (last use) into each other? Or wouldn't it be a common enough pattern?

The preferencing in the register allocator should be taking care of some of that, but it's got some issues ... I've got a branch that I'm working on (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/19429) that improves it overall, and eliminates many of the copies (your ViaStruct5 example has 5 fewer copies, going from 122 bytes to 107). Overall it's a .18% improvement, but I'm currently trying to reduce the cases where things get worse.

That said, I agree that one would want copy prop to do a better job of this upstream.

Looking at the ValueTask example asyncValueTask_JitDump.txt; it would have to be done after the IR Rationalization phase as before that BB03 (one I'm looking at with additional copies) is quite complex and has lots of COMMA nodes.

I had a go at adding a Copy Elision (?) step after lowering https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/compare/master...benaadams:copyprop?expand=1 by traversing a blocks statements backwards and looking for matching ValueNum on VAR_DEATH; as most of the copying seems to be contained within single blocks.

However not sure its the right approach? Or how to morph the tree...

However not sure its the right approach?

Not really, for various reasons - it has nothing to do with lowering, GTF_VAR_DEATH is likely not up to date at that point, VNs are probably out of date at that point etc.

I'll see if I can find some time to try some copy prop tweaks I've done a while ago to see if they improve this case. Though AFAIR I've never been able to prevent those tweaks from introducing regressions as well, the JIT's copy prop implementation relies on rather unwieldy heuristics...

it has nothing to do with lowering

I was adding it after lowering as the patterns seemed more obvious after Rationalize? (though might be more because I'm not quite fluent with what the syntax means)

Was highlighting later location usage

I see, so only the first part of the disassembly illustrates the issue. It does look like a typical copy propagation issue but it's not clear what exactly generates those copies to begin with. One copy is likely needed - from the return buffer to the heap location. But how exactly the other 2 or 3 copies appeared is not clear.

Can you also post the relevant IL code?

@CarolEidt Why isn't this just ASG(LCL_FLD, LCL_FLD)? It's not a struct copy, it doesn't involve any struct/field reinterpretation etc. Not sure how much that would help but at least we'd get rid of the extra LEA from

L0038: lea rax, [rsp+0x30]
L003d: mov [rax], rcx

Looking at the il for <ProcessSends>d__26:MoveNext():this it might be the execption handling blocking the optimisations as AsyncTaskMethodBuilder::SetException is used in the catch so crosses the EH?

Exception handling blocks enregistration but these look more like redundant struct copies.

I think we should include aspnet (or at least Kestrel) assemblies in the typical JIT diff. The forward substitution experiment I did a while ago did get rid of some copies like these in some FX assemblies but I have no I idea if that would help Kestrel or not.

I think we should include aspnet (or at least Kestrel) assemblies in the typical JIT diff.

Giving it a go... https://github.com/dotnet/jitutils/pull/195

Funny, some of my experimental JIT changes combined show a 2700 bytes improvement for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core. But most of improvements come from better struct copy codegen rather than from eliminating redundant copies. Similar for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Transport.Sockets. Oh well, need to look at the dumps to see what exactly is going on.

Async gets big fast, so this method becomes 2180 bytes of asm

private async Task ProcessSends()
{
    var output = Output;
    while (true)
    {
        var result = await output.ReadAsync();

        if (result.IsCanceled)
        {
            break;
        }

        var buffer = result.Buffer;

        var end = buffer.End;
        var isCompleted = result.IsCompleted;
        if (!buffer.IsEmpty)
        {
            await _sender.SendAsync(buffer);
        }

        output.AdvanceTo(end);

        if (isCompleted)
        {
            break;
        }

It would be worse if ASP.NET Core used .ConfigureAwait anywhere; which they don't 馃槄 As that's a further struct wrapper on top.

Looking at StreamReader.ReadBufferAsync() in coreclr they are all marked as do-not-enreg

NewObj constructor temp is one of the reasons, and must-init addr-exposed ld-addr-op the other (could be due to in which reduced an additional copy? https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/22738)

Probably because there are a bunch of struct typed LCL_FLD nodes that the JIT cannot handle well.

struct typed LCL_FLD nodes that the JIT cannot handle well.

Hmm, because its in the il?

With https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/b8d5b7b760f64d39e00554189ea0e5c66ed6bd62/src/System.Private.CoreLib/shared/System/IO/StreamReader.cs#L1280

await tmpStream.ReadAsync(new Memory<byte>(tmpByteBuffer)).ConfigureAwait(false)

Becoming stloc.s, ldloca.s chains

.locals init (

    [8] valuetype System.Threading.Tasks.ValueTask`1<int32>,
    [9] valuetype System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable`1<int32>,

So the Jit is doing what its asked to do, in a way?

Well, I don't know where those LCL_FLDs come from, presumably they were present in some IL - FSeq shows a field named _value. What's for sure that JIT's handling of struct typed fields needs improvement. Hopefully we'll get there sooner or later, I have a pending PR that's supposed to provided the preliminaries for that.

Might not help they are different types; even though they are the exact same sized structs containing the same data? (as they are wrappers over each other)

If I fold ConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable<TResult>.ConfiguredValueTaskAwaiter into ConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable<TResult> and change GetAwaiter from

public ConfiguredValueTaskAwaiter GetAwaiter() => new ConfiguredValueTaskAwaiter(in _value);

to

public ConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable<TResult> GetAwaiter() => this;

Then one of the ; do-not-enreg[SFB] must-init "NewObj constructor temp" drops out and its down the 3 copies rather than 4:

    call     qword ptr [rax+32]Stream:ReadAsync(struct,struct):struct:this

    mov      word  ptr [r9+12], dx

Guessing that's new no longer being called rather than the types now matching though?

Here's a derived example with similar results (3 back to back copies):
```C#
using System;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Auto)]

{
    if (o == null)
    {
        ThrowHelper();
    }

    _obj = o;
    _continueOnCapturedContext = true;
    _token = 0;
}

static void ThrowHelper()
{
    throw new Exception();
}

public bool IsCompleted
{
    [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
    get
    {
        object obj = _obj;

        if (obj == null)
        {
            return true;
        }

        if (obj is string s)
        {
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
}

}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Auto)]
public readonly struct xConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable
{
private readonly xValueTask _value;

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
internal xConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable(in xValueTask value) => _value = value;

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
public xConfiguredValueTaskAwaiter GetAwaiter() => new xConfiguredValueTaskAwaiter(in _value);

}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Auto)]
public readonly struct xConfiguredValueTaskAwaiter
{
private readonly xValueTask _value;

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
internal xConfiguredValueTaskAwaiter(in xValueTask value) => _value = value;

public bool IsCompleted
{
    get => _value.IsCompleted;
}

}

class X
{
public static int Main()
{
xValueTask xvt = new xValueTask("xyz");
xConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable xcvta = new xConfiguredValueTaskAwaitable(in xvt);
return xcvta.GetAwaiter().IsCompleted ? 100 : 0;
}
}

we end up with

Guess would be copyprop? Currently outputs this

But doesn't then do any copyprop

Hmm not sure how to do this.

What I'm envisaging is if there is a copy to a (first use); and followed by a (last use) copy

var1            -> var2 (first use)
var2 (last use) -> var3

Then that intermediate copy can be skipped becoming

var1 -> var3

Or in the Live vars output

Live vars: {V00} => {}
Live vars: {} => {V04}
Live vars: {V04} => {}
Live vars: {} => {V01}
Live vars: {V01} => {}
Live vars: {} => {V05}
Live vars: {V05} => {}
Live vars: {} => {V02}
Live vars: {V02} => {}
Live vars: {} => {V07}

becomes

Live vars: {V00} => {}
Live vars: {} => {V07}

Might have something...

G_M7880_IG04:
       mov      rax, gword ptr [rsp+08H]

So will close
