Summary: http://reviews.llvm.org/D22118 uses metadata to store the call count, which makes it possible to have branch weight to have only one elements. Also fix the assertion failure in inliner when checking the instruction type to include "invoke" instruction.

Summary:
For sample-based PGO, using BFI to calculate callsite count is sometime not accurate. This is because with sampling based approach, if a callsite resides in a hot loop deeply nested in a bunch of cold branches, the callsite's BFI frequency would be inaccurately calculated due to lack of samples in the cold branch.
E.g.
if (A1 && A2 && A3 && ..... && A10) {
for (i=0; i < 100000000; i++) {
callsite();
}
}
Assume that A1 to A100 are all 100% taken, and callsite has 1000 samples and thus is considerred hot. Because the loop's trip count is huge, it's normal that all branches outside the loop has no sample at all. As a result, we can only use static branch probability to derive the the frequency of the loop header. Assuming that static heuristic thinks each branch is 50% taken, then the count calculated from BFI will be 1/(2^10) of the actual value.
In order to get more accurate callsite count, we directly annotate the weight on the call instruction, and directly use it when checking callsite hotness.
Note that this mechanism can also be shared by instrumentation based callsite hotness analysis. The side benefit is that it breaks the dependency from Inliner to BFI as call count is embedded in the IR.

In order to make the optimizer smarter about using the 'returned' argument
attribute (generally, but motivated by my llvm.noalias intrinsic work), add a
utility function to Call/InvokeInst, and CallSite, to make it easy to get the
returned call argument (when one exists).
P.S. There is already an unfortunate amount of code duplication between
CallInst and InvokeInst, and this adds to it. We should probably clean that up
separately.

Summary:
This represents the adjustment applied to the implicit 'this' parameter
in the prologue of a virtual method in the MS C++ ABI. The adjustment is
always zero unless multiple inheritance is involved.
This increases the size of DISubprogram by 8 bytes, unfortunately. The
adjustment really is a signed 32-bit integer. If this size increase is
too much, we could probably win it back by splitting out a subclass with
info specific to virtual methods (virtuality, vindex, thisadjustment,
containingType).

For the new hotness attribute, the API will take the pass rather than
the pass name so we can no longer play the trick of AlwaysPrint being a
special pass name. This adds a getter to help the transition.

This is a resubmittion of 263158 change after fixing the existing problem with intrinsics mangling (see LTO and intrinsics mangling llvm-dev thread for details).
This patch fixes the problem which occurs when loop-vectorize tries to use @llvm.masked.load/store intrinsic for a non-default addrspace pointer. It fails with "Calling a function with a bad signature!" assertion in CallInst constructor because it tries to pass a non-default addrspace pointer to the pointer argument which has default addrspace.
The fix is to add pointer type as another overloaded type to @llvm.masked.load/store intrinsics.

There are two separate issues:
- LLVM doesn't consider infinite loops to be side effects: we happily
hoist/sink above/below loops whose bounds are unknown.
- The absence of the noreturn attribute is insufficient for us to know
if a function will definitely return. Relying on noreturn in the
middle-end for any property is an accident waiting to happen.

This intrinsic safely loads a function pointer from a virtual table pointer
using type metadata. This intrinsic is used to implement control flow integrity
in conjunction with virtual call optimization. The virtual call optimization
pass will optimize away llvm.type.checked.load intrinsics associated with
devirtualized calls, thereby removing the type check in cases where it is
not needed to enforce the control flow integrity constraint.
This patch also introduces the capability to copy type metadata between
global variables, and teaches the virtual call optimization pass to do so.

The bitset metadata currently used in LLVM has a few problems:
1. It has the wrong name. The name "bitset" refers to an implementation
detail of one use of the metadata (i.e. its original use case, CFI).
This makes it harder to understand, as the name makes no sense in the
context of virtual call optimization.
2. It is represented using a global named metadata node, rather than
being directly associated with a global. This makes it harder to
manipulate the metadata when rebuilding global variables, summarise it
as part of ThinLTO and drop unused metadata when associated globals are
dropped. For this reason, CFI does not currently work correctly when
both CFI and vcall opt are enabled, as vcall opt needs to rebuild vtable
globals, and fails to associate metadata with the rebuilt globals. As I
understand it, the same problem could also affect ASan, which rebuilds
globals with a red zone.
This patch solves both of those problems in the following way:
1. Rename the metadata to "type metadata". This new name reflects how
the metadata is currently being used (i.e. to represent type information
for CFI and vtable opt). The new name is reflected in the name for the
associated intrinsic (llvm.type.test) and pass (LowerTypeTests).
2. Attach metadata directly to the globals that it pertains to, rather
than using the "llvm.bitsets" global metadata node as we are doing now.
This is done using the newly introduced capability to attach
metadata to global variables (r271348 and r271358).

This change is motivated by an upcoming change to the metadata representation
used for CFI. The indirect function call checker needs type information for
external function declarations in order to correctly generate jump table
entries for such declarations. We currently associate such type information
with declarations using a global metadata node, but I plan [1] to move all
such metadata to global object attachments.
In bitcode, metadata attachments for function declarations appear in the
global metadata block. This seems reasonable to me because I expect metadata
attachments on declarations to be uncommon. In the long term I'd also expect
this to be the case for CFI, because we'd want to use some specialized bitcode
format for this metadata that could be read as part of the ThinLTO thin-link
phase, which would mean that it would not appear in the global metadata block.
To solve the lazy loaded metadata issue I was seeing with D20147, I use the
same bitcode representation for metadata attachments for global variables as I
do for function declarations. Since there's a use case for metadata attachments
in the global metadata block, we might as well use that representation for
global variables as well, at least until we have a mechanism for lazy loading
global variables.
In the assembly format, the metadata attachments appear after the "declare"
keyword in order to avoid a parsing ambiguity.

pass manager passes' `run` methods.
This removes a bunch of SFINAE goop from the pass manager and just
requires pass authors to accept `AnalysisManager<IRUnitT> &` as a dead
argument. This is a small price to pay for the simplicity of the system
as a whole, despite the noise that changing it causes at this stage.
This will also helpfull allow us to make the signature of the run
methods much more flexible for different kinds af passes to support
things like intelligently updating the pass's progression over IR units.
While this touches many, many, files, the changes are really boring.
Mostly made with the help of my trusty perl one liners.
