Summary: * docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.rst: Makefiles are no longer used. The users should use CMakeLists.txt. In order to add the target, the TARGETS_TO_BUILD is replaced with LLVM_ALL_TARGETS.

The memory location that corresponds to a volatile operation is very
special. They are observed by the machine in ways which we cannot
reason about.

This is a work in progress - the chapter text is incomplete, though
the example code compiles and runs.
Feedback and patches are, as usual, most welcome.

Summary: This needs to get in before anything is released concerning attribute. If the old name gets in the wild, then we are stuck with it forever. Putting it in its own diff should getting that part at least in fast.

In practice only a few well known appending linkage variables work.
Currently if codegen sees an unknown appending linkage variable it will
just print it as a regular global. That is wrong as the symbol in the
produced object file has different semantics as the one provided by the
appending linkage.
This just errors early instead of producing a broken .o.

This new verifier rule lets us unambigously pick a calling convention
when creating a new declaration for
`@llvm.experimental.deoptimize.<ty>`. It is also congruent with our
lowering strategy -- since all calls to `@llvm.experimental.deoptimize`
are lowered to calls to `__llvm_deoptimize`, it is reasonable to enforce
a unique calling convention.
Some of the tests that were breaking this verifier rule have had to be
split up into different .ll files.
The inliner was violating this rule as well, and has been fixed to avoid
producing invalid IR.

An oddity of the .ll syntax is that the "@var = " in
@var = global i32 42
is optional. Writing just
global i32 42
is equivalent to
@0 = global i32 42
This means that there is a pretty big First set at the top level. The
current implementation maintains it manually. I was trying to refactor
it, but then started wondering why keep it a all. I personally find the
above syntax confusing. It looks like something is missing.
This patch removes the feature and simplifies the parser.

Seems like my sphynx version is different than the one in the bot, as it
accepted everything locally. I think this is the right fix...

HowToCrossCompile was outdated and generating too much traffic on the mailing
list with similar queries. This change helps offset most of the problems that
were reported recently including:
* Removing the -ccc-gcc-name, adding --sysroot
* Making references to Debian's multiarch for target libraries
* Expanding -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS for both GCC and Clang
* Some formatting and clarifications in the text

This is a step towards removing the rampant undefined behaviour in
SelectionDAG, which is a part of llvm.org/PR26808.
We rename SelectionDAGISel::Select to SelectImpl and update targets to
match, and then change Select to return void and consolidate the
sketchy behaviour we're trying to get away from there.
Next, we'll update backends to implement `void Select(...)` instead of
SelectImpl and eventually drop the base Select implementation.

This backend was supposed to generate C++ code which will re-construct
the LLVM IR passed as input. This seems to me to have very marginal
usefulness in the first place.
However, the code has never been updated to use IRBuilder, which makes
its current value negative -- people who look at the output may be
steered to use the *wrong* C++ APIs to construct IR.
Furthermore, it's generated code that doesn't compile since at least
2013.

If a guard call being lowered by LowerGuardIntrinsics has the
`!make.implicit` metadata attached, then reattach the metadata to the
branch in the resulting expanded form of the intrinsic. This allows us
to implement null checks as guards and still get the benefit of implicit
null checks.
