Simon Jakobi pushed to branch wip/sjakobi/T27368-cbe-compress at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 5201cff9 by Simon Jakobi at 2026-08-21T02:34:05+02:00 Cmm: resolve substitution chains in common block elimination The substitution built by elimCommonBlocks can map a label to another eliminated label, but replaceLabels looks up each label only once. An edge in a losing copy of a merged block could thus be rewritten to an eliminated label. When that label was a call continuation, callProcPoints turned it into a proc point, attachContInfoTables gave it an info table, but stack layout produced no stack map for it, and setInfoTableStackMap panicked. Resolve the substitution before rewriting, so that every label in the graph is mapped directly to its final representative. See Note [Resolving the CBE substitution] in GHC.Cmm.CommonBlockElim. Also delete each merge's losing block in the pass itself, instead of leaving it in the graph, unreachable, until stack layout drops it. Deleting the losers is safe: replaceLabels rewrites every in-graph reference to a loser -- branch targets, CmmLit CmmBlock literals, CmmStackSlot Young slots, and g_entry -- to the end of its substitution chain, and chain ends never lie in the substitution's domain. Note [Continuation BlockIds] in GHC.Cmm.Node bounds where block ids can occur in expressions, so this list of references is exhaustive for the graph itself. The one reference replaceLabels does not rewrite, info_tbls, lies outside the graph. A proc's info table going stale when its entry block loses a merge is a pre-existing bug, #27722, reachable only from hand-written Cmm and unchanged by this patch. The regression test distills the code shape that triggered the panic when compiling GHC.CmmToAsm.Dwarf.Types with -O2 on top of !16168. Also: * copyTicks now copies each loser's ticks into its final representative instead of into a dead intermediate block. * Rewrite Note [unreachable blocks] in GHC.Cmm.Pipeline to state the actual invariant: only removeUnreachableBlocksProc guarantees the removal of unreachable blocks, so every earlier pass must tolerate them. Adapted from the doc changes in !16169.
