This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.

This is done by pushing physical register definitions close to their
use, which happens to handle flag definitions if they're not glued to
the branch. This seems to be generally a good thing though, so I
didn't need to add a target hook yet.
The primary motivation is to generate code closer to what people
expect and rule out missed opportunity from enabling macro-op
fusion. As a side benefit, we get several 2-5% gains on x86
benchmarks. There is one regression:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/lists slows down be -10%. But this is
an independent scheduler bug that will be tracked separately.
See rdar://problem/9283108.
Incidentally, pre-RA scheduling is only half the solution. Fixing the
later passes is tracked by:
<rdar://problem/8932804> [pre-RA-sched] on x86, attempt to schedule CMP/TEST adjacent with condition jump
Fixes:
<rdar://problem/9262453> Scheduler unnecessary break of cmp/jump fusion

This reverts revision 114633. It was breaking llvm-gcc-i386-linux-selfhost.
It seems there is a downstream bug that is exposed by
-cgp-critical-edge-splitting=0. When that bug is fixed, this patch can go back
in.
Note that the changes to tailcallfp2.ll are not reverted. They were good are
required.

Measurements show that it does not speed up coalescing, so there is no reason
the keep the added complexity around.
Also clean out some unused methods and static functions.

happening.
Enhance scheduling to set the DEAD flag on implicit defs
more aggressively. Before, we'd set an implicit def operand
to dead if it were present in the SDNode corresponding to
the machineinstr but had no use. Now we do it in this case
AND if the implicit def does not exist in the SDNode at all.
This exposes a couple of problems: one is the FIXME, which
causes a live intervals crash on CodeGen/X86/sibcall.ll.
The second is that it makes machinecse and licm more
aggressive (which is a good thing) but also exposes a case
where licm hoists a set0 and then it doesn't get resunk.
Talking to codegen folks about both these issues, but I need
this patch in in the meantime.
