Instruction Scheduling in the C2 Compiler

[Krystal Mok]

Hi Ahmed,

Greetings. If you're looking for scheduling logic in C2, that would mostly
be in opto/gcm.cpp and opto/lcm.cpp, for Global Code Motion and Local Code
Motion, respectively.

The place that initiates code scheduling is from Compile::Code_Gen() in
opto/compile.cpp:

2320   // Build a proper-looking CFG
2321   PhaseCFG cfg(node_arena(), root(), matcher);
2322   _cfg = &cfg;
2323   {
2324     TracePhase tp("scheduler", &timers[_t_scheduler]);
2325     bool success = cfg.do_global_code_motion(); // <- Scheduling
initiated from here
2326     if (!success) {
2327       return;
2328     }
2329
2330     print_method(PHASE_GLOBAL_CODE_MOTION, 2);
2331     NOT_PRODUCT( verify_graph_edges(); )
2332     debug_only( cfg.verify(); )
2333   }

Follow that path and you'll be able to find all the code you need.

Best regards,
Kris
