Silvermont can only decode one instruction per cycle if the instruction exceeds 8 bytes.
Also in Silvermont instructions with more than 3 prefixes will cause 3 cycle penalty.
Maximum nop length is limited to 7 bytes when used for padding on Silvermont.
For other x86 processors max nop length remains unchanged 15 bytes.

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.

With this MC is able to handle _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ in 64 bit mode, which is
needed for medium and large code models.
This fixes pr19470.

I started trying to fix a small issue, but this code has seen a small fix too
many.
The old code was fairly convoluted. Some of the issues it had:
* It failed to check if a symbol difference was in the some section when
converting a relocation to pcrel.
* It failed to check if the relocation was already pcrel.
* The pcrel value computation was wrong in some cases (relocation-pc.s)
* It was missing quiet a few cases where it should not convert symbol
relocations to section relocations, leaving the backends to patch it up.
* It would not propagate the fact that it had changed a relocation to pcrel,
requiring a quiet nasty work around in ARM.
* It was missing comments.
llvm-svn: 205076
The function hasReliableSymbolDifference had exactly one use in the MachO
writer. It is also only true for X86_64. In fact, the comments refers to
"Darwin x86_64" and everything else, so this makes the code match the
comment.
If this is to be abstracted again, it should be a property of
TargetObjectWriter, like useAggressiveSymbolFolding.

Summary:
llvm/MC/MCSectionMachO.h and llvm/Support/MachO.h both had the same
definitions for the section flags. Instead, grab the definitions out of
support.
No functionality change.

This is a preliminary setup change to support a renaming of Windows target
triples. Split the object file format information out of the environment into a
separate entity. Unfortunately, file format was previously treated as an
environment with an unknown OS. This is most obvious in the ARM subtarget where
the handling for macho on an arbitrary platform switches to AAPCS rather than
APCS (as per Apple's needs).

This is a nop. doesSectionRequireSymbols is only used from
isSymbolLinkerVisible. isSymbolLinkerVisible only use from ELF was in
if (!Asm.isSymbolLinkerVisible(Symbol) && !Symbol.isUndefined())
return false;
if (Symbol.isTemporary())
return false;
If the symbol is a temporary this code returns false and it is irrelevant if
we take the first if or not. If the symbol is not a temporary,
Asm.isSymbolLinkerVisible returns true without ever calling
doesSectionRequireSymbols.
This was an horrible leftover from when support for ELF was first added.

The ARM backend has been using most of the MachO related subtarget
checks almost interchangeably, and since the only target it's had to
run on has been IOS (which is all three of MachO, Darwin and IOS) it's
worked out OK so far.
But we'd like to support embedded targets under the "*-*-none-macho"
triple, which means everything starts falling apart and inconsistent
behaviours emerge.
This patch should pick a reasonably sensible set of behaviours for the
new triple (and any others that come along, with luck). Some choices
were debatable (notably FP == r7 or r11), but we can revisit those
later when deficiencies become apparent.

Patch by Mikulas Patocka. I added the test. I checked that for cpu names that
gas knows about, it also doesn't generate nopl.
The modified cpus:
i686 - there are i686-class CPUs that don't have nopl: Via c3, Transmeta
Crusoe, Microsoft VirtualBox - see
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=775414
k6, k6-2, k6-3, winchip-c6, winchip2 - these are 586-class CPUs
via c3 c3-2 - see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19733 as a proof that
Via c3 and c3-Nehemiah don't have nopl

On darwin, when trying to create compact unwind info, a .cfi_cfa_def
directive would case an llvm_unreachable() to be hit. Back off when we
see this directive and generate the regular DWARF style eh_frame.

We used to generate the compact unwind encoding from the machine
instructions. However, this had the problem that if the user used `-save-temps'
or compiled their hand-written `.s' file (with CFI directives), we wouldn't
generate the compact unwind encoding.
Move the algorithm that generates the compact unwind encoding into the
MCAsmBackend. This way we can generate the encoding whether the code is from a
`.ll' or `.s' file.

one-byte NOPs. If the processor actually executes those NOPs, as it sometimes
does with aligned bundling, this can have a performance impact. From my
micro-benchmarks run on my one machine, a 15-byte NOP followed by twelve
one-byte NOPs is about 20% worse than a 15 followed by a 12. This patch
changes NOP emission to emit as many 15-byte (the maximum) as possible followed
by at most one shorter NOP.

This adds 'elf' as a recognized target triple environment value and overrides the default generated object format on Windows platforms if that value is present. This patch also enables MCJIT tests on Windows using the new environment value.

* wrap code blocks in \code ... \endcode;
* refer to parameter names in paragraphs correctly (\arg is not what most
people want -- it starts a new paragraph);
* use \param instead of \arg to document parameters in order to be consistent

Whether a fixup needs relaxation for the associated instruction is a
target-specific function, as the FIXME indicated. Create a hook for that
and use it.
