The code is organized into 3 parts (2 passes)
1) a linked set of profiling passes, which implement an analysis group (linked, like alias analysis are). These insert profiling into the program, and remember what they inserted, so that at a later time they can be queried about any instruction.
2) a pass that handles inserting the random sampling framework. This also has options to control how random samples are choosen. Currently implemented are Global counters, register allocated global counters, and read cycle counter (see? there was a reason for it).
The profiling passes are almost identical to the existing ones (block, function, and null profiling is supported right now), and they are valid passes without the sampling framework (hence the existing passes can be unified with the new ones, not done yet).
Some things are a bit ugly still, but that should be fixed up soon enough.
Other todo? making the counter values not "magic 2^16 -1" values, but dynamically choosable.

packed types with an element count of 1, although more generic support is
coming. This allows LLVM to turn the following code:
void %foo(<1 x float> * %a) {
entry:
%tmp1 = load <1 x float> * %a;
%tmp2 = add <1 x float> %tmp1, %tmp1
store <1 x float> %tmp2, <1 x float> *%a
ret void
}
Into:
_foo:
lfs f0, 0(r3)
fadds f0, f0, f0
stfs f0, 0(r3)

this and have it in about the same form, I think this makes sense.
on X86, you do a RDTSC (64bit result, from any ring since the P5MMX)
on Alpha, you do a RDCC
on PPC, there is a sequence which may or may not work depending on how things
are setup by the OS. Or something like that. Maybe someone who knows PPC
can add support. Something about the time base register.
on Sparc, you read %tick, which in some solaris versions (>=8) is readable by
userspace
on IA64 read ar.itc
So I think the ulong is justified since all of those are 64bit.
Support is slighly flaky on old chips (P5 and lower) and sometimes
depends on OS (PPC, Sparc). But for modern OS/Hardware (aka this decade),
we should be ok.
I am still not sure what to do about lowering. I can either see a lower to 0, to
gettimeofday (or the target os equivalent), or loudly complaining and refusing to
continue.
I am commiting an Alpha implementation. I will add the X86 implementation if I
have to (I have use of it in the near future), but if someone who knows that
backend (and the funky multi-register results) better wants to add it, it would
take them a lot less time ;)

names. This also changes the default to allow all of "$_." in addition
to letters and numbers as symbol names. If you don't want this, use
markCharUnacceptable to remove one of these or markCharAcceptable to add
to the set. This corresponds with what GAS accepts by default.

doesn't support .asciz, just set AscizDirective to null in your asmprinter.
This compiles C strings to:
l1__2E_str_1: ; '.str_1'
.asciz "foo"
instead of:
l1__2E_str_1: ; '.str_1'
.ascii "foo\000"

This eliminates the vector, allows constant time removal of a node from
a graph, and makes iteration over the all nodes list stable when adding
nodes to the graph.

allocated. Further, in the common case where a node has a single value, just
reference an element from a small array. This is a small compile-time wi.

This saves 12 bytes from SDNode, but doesn't speed things up substantially
(our graphs apparently already fit within the cache on my g5). In any case
this reduces memory usage.

alignment information appropriately. Includes code for PowerPC to support
fixed-size allocas with alignment larger than the stack. Support for
arbitrarily aligned dynamic allocas coming soon.
llvm-svn: 24224
Add support for specifying alignment and size of setjmp jmpbufs.
No targets currently do anything with this information, nor is it presrved
in the bytecode representation. That's coming up next.
