The TargetPassManager's default constructor wants to initialize the PassManager
to 'null'. But it's illegal to bind a null reference to a null l-value. Make the
ivar a pointer instead.

on X86 Atom. Some of our tests failed because the tail merging part of
the BranchFolding pass was creating new basic blocks which did not
contain live-in information. When the anti-dependency code in the Post-RA
scheduler ran, it would sometimes rename the register containing
the function return value because the fact that the return value was
live-in to the subsequent block had been lost. To fix this, it is necessary
to run the RegisterScavenging code in the BranchFolding pass.
This patch makes sure that the register scavenging code is invoked
in the X86 subtarget only when post-RA scheduling is being done.
Post RA scheduling in the X86 subtarget is only done for Atom.
This patch adds a new function to the TargetRegisterClass to control
whether or not live-ins should be preserved during branch folding.
This is necessary in order for the anti-dependency optimizations done
during the PostRASchedulerList pass to work properly when doing
Post-RA scheduling for the X86 in general and for the Intel Atom in particular.
The patch adds and invokes the new function trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc()
instead of using the existing requiresRegisterScavenging().
It changes BranchFolding.cpp to call trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc() instead of
requiresRegisterScavenging(). It changes the all the targets that
implemented requiresRegisterScavenging() to also implement
trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc().
It adds an assertion in the Post RA scheduler to make sure that post RA
liveness information is available when it is needed.
It changes the X86 break-anti-dependencies test to use –mcpu=atom, in order
to avoid running into the added assertion.
Finally, this patch restores the use of anti-dependency checking
(which was turned off temporarily for the 3.1 release) for
Intel Atom in the Post RA scheduler.

test suite failures. The failures occur at each stage, and only get
worse, so I'm reverting all of them.
Please resubmit these patches, one at a time, after verifying that the
regression test suite passes. Never submit a patch without running the
regression test suite.

commits have had several major issues pointed out in review, and those
issues are not being addressed in a timely fashion. Furthermore, this
was all committed leading up to the v3.1 branch, and we don't need piles
of code with outstanding issues in the branch.
It is possible that not all of these commits were necessary to revert to
get us back to a green state, but I'm going to let the Hexagon
maintainer sort that out. They can recommit, in order, after addressing
the feedback.
Reverted commits, with some notes:
Primary commit r154616: HexagonPacketizer
- There are lots of review comments here. This is the primary reason
for reverting. In particular, it introduced large amount of warnings
due to a bad construct in tablegen.
- Follow-up commits that should be folded back into this when
reposting:
- r154622: CMake fixes
- r154660: Fix numerous build warnings in release builds.
- Please don't resubmit this until the three commits above are
included, and the issues in review addressed.
Primary commit r154695: Pass to replace transfer/copy ...
- Reverted to minimize merge conflicts. I'm not aware of specific
issues with this patch.
Primary commit r154703: New Value Jump.
- Primarily reverted due to merge conflicts.
- Follow-up commits that should be folded back into this when
reposting:
- r154703: Remove iostream usage
- r154758: Fix CMake builds
- r154759: Fix build warnings in release builds
- Please incorporate these fixes and and review feedback before
resubmitting.
Primary commit r154829: Hexagon V5 (floating point) support.
- Primarily reverted due to merge conflicts.
- Follow-up commits that should be folded back into this when
reposting:
- r154841: Remove unused variable (fixing build warnings)
There are also accompanying Clang commits that will be reverted for
consistency.

the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.
