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.

tail merging support to handle more cases.
- Recognize several cases where tail merging is beneficial even when
the tail size is smaller than the generic threshold.
- Make use of MachineInstrDesc::isBarrier to help detect
non-fallthrough blocks.
- Check for and avoid disrupting fall-through edges in more cases.

to break up CFG diamonds by banishing one of the blocks to the end of
the function, which is bad for code density and branch size.
This does pessimize MultiSource/Benchmarks/Ptrdist/yacr2, the
benchmark cited as the reason for the change, however I've examined
the code and it looks more like a case of gaming a particular
branch than of being generally applicable.

tracked. Instead of trying to manually keep track of these locations
while doing complex modifications, just recompute them when they're needed.
This fixes a bug in which the TopMBB and BotMBB were not correctly updated,
leading to invalid transformations.
