I am sure we will be finding bits and pieces of dead code for years to
come, but this is a good start.
Thanks to Lang Hames for making MCJIT a good replacement!

sequence - target independent framework
When the DAGcombiner selects instruction sequences
it could increase the critical path or resource len.
For example, on arm64 there are multiply-accumulate instructions (madd,
msub). If e.g. the equivalent multiply-add sequence is not on the
crictial path it makes sense to select it instead of the combined,
single accumulate instruction (madd/msub). The reason is that the
conversion from add+mul to the madd could lengthen the critical path
by the latency of the multiply.
But the DAGCombiner would always combine and select the madd/msub
instruction.
This patch uses machine trace metrics to estimate critical path length
and resource length of an original instruction sequence vs a combined
instruction sequence and picks the faster code based on its estimates.
This patch only commits the target independent framework that evaluates
and selects code sequences. The machine instruction combiner is turned
off for all targets and expected to evolve over time by gradually
handling DAGCombiner pattern in the target specific code.
This framework lays the groundwork for fixing

This patch is to move GlobalMerge pass from Transform/Scalar
to CodeGen, because GlobalMerge depends on TargetMachine.
In the mean time, the macro INITIALIZE_TM_PASS is also moved
to CodeGen/Passes.h. With this fix we can avoid making
libScalarOpts depend on libCodeGen.

It includes a pass that rewrites all indirect calls to jumptable functions to pass through these tables.
This also adds backend support for generating the jump-instruction tables on ARM and X86.
Note that since the jumptable attribute creates a second function pointer for a
function, any function marked with jumptable must also be marked with unnamed_addr.

Still only 32-bit ARM using it at this stage, but the promotion allows
direct testing via opt and is a reasonably self-contained patch on the
way to switching ARM64.
At this point, other targets should be able to make use of it without
too much difficulty if they want. (See ARM64 commit coming soon for an
example).
llvm-svn: 206485
CodeGenPrepare uses extensively TargetLowering which is part of libLLVMCodeGen.
This is a layer violation which would introduce eventually a dependence on
CodeGen in ScalarOpts.
Move CodeGenPrepare into libLLVMCodeGen to avoid that.

This optional register liveness analysis pass can be enabled with either
-enable-stackmap-liveness, -enable-patchpoint-liveness, or both. The pass
traverses each basic block in a machine function. For each basic block the
instructions are processed in reversed order and if a patchpoint or stackmap
instruction is encountered the current live-out register set is encoded as a
register mask and attached to the instruction.
Later on during stackmap generation the live-out register mask is processed and
also emitted as part of the stackmap.
This information is optional and intended for optimization purposes only. This
will enable a client of the stackmap to reason about the registers it can use
and which registers need to be preserved.

This fixes some of the cycles between libCodeGen and libSelectionDAG. It's still
a complete mess but as long as the edges consist of virtual call it doesn't
cause breakage. BasicTTI did static calls and thus broke some build
configurations.

a TargetMachine to construct (and thus isn't always available), to an
analysis group that supports layered implementations much like
AliasAnalysis does. This is a pretty massive change, with a few parts
that I was unable to easily separate (sorry), so I'll walk through it.
The first step of this conversion was to make TargetTransformInfo an
analysis group, and to sink the nonce implementations in
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTranformInfo into
a NoTargetTransformInfo pass. This allows other passes to add a hard
requirement on TTI, and assume they will always get at least on
implementation.
The TargetTransformInfo analysis group leverages the delegation chaining
trick that AliasAnalysis uses, where the base class for the analysis
group delegates to the previous analysis *pass*, allowing all but tho
NoFoo analysis passes to only implement the parts of the interfaces they
support. It also introduces a new trick where each pass in the group
retains a pointer to the top-most pass that has been initialized. This
allows passes to implement one API in terms of another API and benefit
when some other pass above them in the stack has more precise results
for the second API.
The second step of this conversion is to create a pass that implements
the TargetTransformInfo analysis using the target-independent
abstractions in the code generator. This replaces the
ScalarTargetTransformImpl and VectorTargetTransformImpl classes in
lib/Target with a single pass in lib/CodeGen called
BasicTargetTransformInfo. This class actually provides most of the TTI
functionality, basing it upon the TargetLowering abstraction and other
information in the target independent code generator.
The third step of the conversion adds support to all TargetMachines to
register custom analysis passes. This allows building those passes with
access to TargetLowering or other target-specific classes, and it also
allows each target to customize the set of analysis passes desired in
the pass manager. The baseline LLVMTargetMachine implements this
interface to add the BasicTTI pass to the pass manager, and all of the
tools that want to support target-aware TTI passes call this routine on
whatever target machine they end up with to add the appropriate passes.
The fourth step of the conversion created target-specific TTI analysis
passes for the X86 and ARM backends. These passes contain the custom
logic that was previously in their extensions of the
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTransformInfo interfaces.
I separated them into their own file, as now all of the interface bits
are private and they just expose a function to create the pass itself.
Then I extended these target machines to set up a custom set of analysis
passes, first adding BasicTTI as a fallback, and then adding their
customized TTI implementations.
The fourth step required logic that was shared between the target
independent layer and the specific targets to move to a different
interface, as they no longer derive from each other. As a consequence,
a helper functions were added to TargetLowering representing the common
logic needed both in the target implementation and the codegen
implementation of the TTI pass. While technically this is the only
change that could have been committed separately, it would have been
a nightmare to extract.
The final step of the conversion was just to delete all the old
boilerplate. This got rid of the ScalarTargetTransformInfo and
VectorTargetTransformInfo classes, all of the support in all of the
targets for producing instances of them, and all of the support in the
tools for manually constructing a pass based around them.
Now that TTI is a relatively normal analysis group, two things become
straightforward. First, we can sink it into lib/Analysis which is a more
natural layer for it to live. Second, clients of this interface can
depend on it *always* being available which will simplify their code and
behavior. These (and other) simplifications will follow in subsequent
commits, this one is clearly big enough.
Finally, I'm very aware that much of the comments and documentation
needs to be updated. As soon as I had this working, and plausibly well
commented, I wanted to get it committed and in front of the build bots.
I'll be doing a few passes over documentation later if it sticks.
Commits to update DragonEgg and Clang will be made presently.

The Target library is not allowed to depend on the large CodeGen
library, but the TRI and TII classes provide abstract interfaces that
require both caller and callee to link to CodeGen.
The implementation files for these classes provide default
implementations of some of the hooks. These methods may need to
reference CodeGen, so they belong in that library.
We already have a number of methods implemented in the
TargetInstrInfoImpl sub-class because of that. I will merge that class
into the parent next.

This is still a work in progress.
Out-of-order CPUs usually execute instructions from multiple basic
blocks simultaneously, so it is necessary to look at longer traces when
estimating the performance effects of code transformations.
The MachineTraceMetrics analysis will pick a typical trace through a
given basic block and provide performance metrics for the trace. Metrics
will include:
- Instruction count through the trace.
- Issue count per functional unit.
- Critical path length, and per-instruction 'slack'.
These metrics can be used to determine the performance limiting factor
when executing the trace, and how it will be affected by a code
transformation.
Initially, this will be used by the early if-conversion pass.
llvm-svn: 160796
This pass performs if-conversion on SSA form machine code by
speculatively executing both sides of the branch and using a cmov
instruction to select the result. This can help lower the number of
branch mispredictions on architectures like x86 that don't have
predicable instructions.
The current implementation is very aggressive, and causes regressions on
mosts tests. It needs good heuristics that have yet to be implemented.

The LiveRegMatrix represents the live range of assigned virtual
registers in a Live interval union per register unit. This is not
fundamentally different from the interference tracking in RegAllocBase
that both RABasic and RAGreedy use.
The important differences are:
- LiveRegMatrix tracks interference per register unit instead of per
physical register. This makes interference checks cheaper and
assignments slightly more expensive. For example, the ARM D7 reigster
has 24 aliases, so we would check 24 physregs before assigning to one.
With unit-based interference, we check 2 units before assigning to 2
units.
- LiveRegMatrix caches regmask interference checks. That is currently
duplicated functionality in RABasic and RAGreedy.
- LiveRegMatrix is a pass which makes it possible to insert
target-dependent passes between register allocation and rewriting.
Such passes could tweak the register assignments with interference
checking support from LiveRegMatrix.
Eventually, RABasic and RAGreedy will be switched to LiveRegMatrix.

opportunities that only present themselves after late optimizations
such as tail duplication .e.g.
## BB#1:
movl %eax, %ecx
movl %ecx, %eax
ret
The register allocator also leaves some of them around (due to false
dep between copies from phi-elimination, etc.)
This required some changes in codegen passes. Post-ra scheduler and the
pseudo-instruction expansion passes have been moved after branch folding
and tail merging. They were before branch folding before because it did
not always update block livein's. That's fixed now. The pass change makes
independently since we want to properly schedule instructions after
branch folding / tail duplication.
