Previously prefetch was only considered legal if sse was enabled, but it should be supported with 3dnow as well.
The prfchw flag now imply at least some form of prefetch without the write hint is available, either the sse or 3dnow version. This is true even if 3dnow and sse are explicitly disabled.
Similarly prefetchwt1 feature implies availability of prefetchw and the the prefetcht0/1/2/nta instructions. This way we can support _MM_HINT_ET0 using prefetchw and _MM_HINT_ET1 with prefetchwt1. And its assumed that if we have levels for the write hint we would have levels for the non-write hint, thus why we enable the sse prefetch instructions.
I believe this behavior is consistent with gcc. I've updated the prefetch.ll to test all of these combinations.

As mentioned in D38318 and D40865, modern Intel processors prefer to combine multiple shuffles to a variable shuffle mask (PSHUFB/VPERMPS etc.) instead of having multiple stage 'fixed' shuffles which put more pressure on Port 5 (at the expense of extra shuffle mask loads).
This patch provides a FeatureFastVariableShuffle target flag for Haswell+ CPUs that prefers combining 2 or more fixed shuffles to a single variable shuffle (default is 3 shuffles).
The long term aim is to drive more of this from schedule data (probably via the MC) but we're not close to being ready for that yet.

Shadow stack solution introduces a new stack for return addresses only.
The HW has a Shadow Stack Pointer (SSP) that points to the next return address.
If we return to a different address, an exception is triggered.
The shadow stack is managed using a series of intrinsics that are introduced in this patch as well as the new register (SSP).
The intrinsics are mapped to new instruction set that implements CET mechanism.
The patch also includes initial infrastructure support for IBT.

Summary:
This adds a new fast gather feature bit to cover all CPUs that support fast gather that we can use independent of whether the AVX512 feature is enabled. I'm only using this new bit to qualify AVX2 codegen. AVX512 is still implicitly assuming fast gather to keep tests working and to match the scatter behavior.
Test command lines have been added for these two cases.

The EVEX to VEX pass is already assuming this is true under AVX512VL. We had special patterns to use zmm instructions if VLX and F16C weren't available.
Instead just make AVX512 imply F16C to make the EVEX to VEX behavior explicitly legal and remove the extra patterns.
All known CPUs with AVX512 have F16C so this should safe for now.
llvm-svn: 317521
Previously our VEX patterns were checking Subtarget.hasFMA() which checked FMA || AVX512. So we were behaving as if AVX512 implied it anyway. Which means we'd allow VEX encoded 128/256 FMA when AVX512F was enabled but AVX512VL is off. Regardless of the FMA flag.
EVEX to VEX also transforms scalar EVEX FMA instructions to their VEX versions even without the FMA flag. Similarly for 128/256 under AVX512VL.
So this makes AVX512 imply FeatureFMA to make our current behavior explicit.
All known CPUs that support AVX512 have VEX FMA instructions.

Adding the scheduling information for the Browadwell (BDW) CPU target.
This patch adds the instruction scheduling information for the Broadwell (BDW) architecture target by adding the file X86SchedBroadwell.td located under the X86 Target.
We used the scheduling information retrieved from the Broadwell architects in order to create the file.
The scheduling information includes latency, number of micro-Ops and used ports by each BDW instruction.
The patch continues the scheduling replacement and insertion effort started with the SandyBridge (SNB) target in r310792, the Haswell (HSW) target in r311879, the SkylakeClient (SKL) target in rL313613 + rL315978 and the SkylakeServer (SKX) in rL315175.

Turns out we have no patterns on the instructions that were using this feature flag for other reasons. These instructions are slow on all modern CPUs so it seems unlikely that we will spend any effort supporting these instructions going forward. So we might as well just kill of the feature flag and just fix up the comments.

Summary:
Currently we determine if macro fusion is supported based on the AVX flag as a proxy for the processor being Sandy Bridge".
This is really strange as now AMD supports AVX. It also means if user explicitly disables AVX we disable macro fusion.
This patch adds an explicit macro fusion feature. I've also enabled for the generic 64-bit CPU (which doesn't have AVX)
This is probably another candidate for being in the MI layer, but for now I at least wanted to correct the overloading of the AVX feature.

FeatureSlowUAMem32.
The idea was to mark things that are slow on widely available processors
as slow in the generic CPU so that the code generated for that CPU would
be fast across those processors. However, for this feature that doesn't
work out very well at all.
The problem here is that you can very easily enable AVX or AVX2 on top
of this generic CPU. For example, this can happen just by using AVX2
intrinsics from Clang within a region of code guarded by a dynamic CPU
feature test. When you do that, the generated code with SlowUAMem32 set
is ... amazingly slower. The problem is that there really aren't very
good alternatives to the unaligned loads, and so our vector codegen
regresses significantly.
The other issue is that there are plenty of AMD CPUs with AVX1 that
don't set FeatureSlowUAMem32 and so we shouldn't just check for AVX2
instead of this special feature. =/
It would be nice to have the target attriute logic be able to
enable/disable more than just one feature at a time and control this in
a more fine grained and useful way, but that doesn't seem easy. Given
that it is only Sandybridge and Ivybridge that set this feature, for now
I'm just backing it out of the generic CPU. That has the additional
advantage of going back to the previous state that people seemed vaguely
happy with.

widely used processors.
This occured to me when I saw that we were generating 'inc' and 'dec'
when for Haswell and newer we shouldn't. However, there were a few "X is
slow" things that we should probably just set.
I've avoided any of the "X is fast" features because most of those would
be pretty serious regressions on processors where X isn't actually fast.
The slow things are likely to be negligible costs on processors where
these aren't slow and a significant win when they are slow.
In retrospect this seems somewhat obvious. Not sure why we didn't do
this a long time ago.

Summary:
This patch adds the following
1. Adds a skeleton scheduler model for AMD Znver1.
2. Introduces the znver1 execution units and pipes.
3. Caters the instructions based on the generic scheduler classes.
4. Further additions to the scheduler model with instruction itineraries will be carried out incrementally based on
a. Instructions types
b. Registers used
5. Since itineraries are not added based on instructions, throughput information are bound to change when incremental changes are added.
6. Scheduler testcases are modified accordingly to suit the new model.

This has two advantages:
- Speed is improved. For example, on Haswell thoughput improvements increase
linearly with size from 256 to 512 bytes, after which they plateau:
(e.g. 1% for 260 bytes, 25% for 400 bytes, 40% for 508 bytes).
