This is still a work in progress but I believe it is currently good enough
to fix PR13122 "Need unit test driver for codegen IR passes". For example,
you can run llc with -stop-after=loop-reduce to have it dump out the IR after
running LSR. Serializing machine-level IR is not yet supported but we have
some patches in progress for that.
The plan is to serialize the IR to a YAML file, containing separate sections
for the LLVM IR, machine-level IR, and whatever other info is needed. Chad
suggested that we stash the stop-after pass in the YAML file and use that
instead of the start-after option to figure out where to restart the
compilation. I think that's a great idea, but since it's not implemented yet
I put the -start-after option into this patch for testing purposes.

This is a preliminary step toward having TargetPassConfig be able to
start and stop the compilation at specified passes for unit testing
and debugging. No functionality change.

Andy, in a previous commit you made this into an ImmutablePass so that you could
add it to the PassManager, then in the next commit you left it a Pass but
removed the code that added it to the PM. If you do add it to the PM then the PM
should take care of deleting it, but it's also true that nothing in codegen
needs this object to exist after it's done its work here. It's not clear to me
which design you want; this should likely either cease to be a Pass or be added
to the PM where other parts of CodeGen will request it.

Passes prior to instructon selection are now split into separate configurable stages.
Header dependencies are simplified.
The bulk of this diff is simply removal of the silly DisableVerify flags.
Sorry for the target header churn. Attempting to stabilize them.

Allows command line overrides to be centralized in LLVMTargetMachine.cpp.
LLVMTargetMachine can intercept common passes and give precedence to command line overrides.
Allows adding "internal" target configuration options without touching TargetOptions.
Encapsulates the PassManager.
Provides a good point to initialize all CodeGen passes so that Pass ID's can be used in APIs.
Allows modifying the target configuration hooks without rebuilding the world.

of several newly un-defaulted switches. This also helps optimizers
(including LLVM's) recognize that every case is covered, and we should
assume as much.

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.

change, now you need a TargetOptions object to create a TargetMachine. Clang
patch to follow.
One small functionality change in PTX. PTX had commented out the machine
verifier parts in their copy of printAndVerify. That now calls the version in
LLVMTargetMachine. Users of PTX who need verification disabled should rely on
not passing the command-line flag to enable it.

place and makes it possible for any codegen pass to use this information.

the mailing list. Suggestions for other statistics to collect would be
awesome. =]
Currently these are implemented as a separate pass guarded by a separate
flag. I'm not thrilled by that, but I wanted to be able to collect the
statistics for the old code placement as well as the new in order to
have a point of comparison. I'm planning on folding them into the single
pass if / when there is only one pass of interest.

block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing
block-placement pass in LLVM:
1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much
more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the
results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the
pass runs.
2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can
model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well
as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the
analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these
inputs.
3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho
bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout
chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations
which the old pass involves.
The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default
because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it
needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures
much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports
these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace
both of these passes.
Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging
this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm
forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions. Writing
a backend pass is *sooo* much better now than it used to be. =D

.file filenumber "directory" "filename"
This removes one join+split of the directory+filename in MC internals. Because
bitcode files have independent fields for directory and filenames in debug info,
this patch may change the .o files written by existing .bc files.

This helps with porting code from 2.9 to 3.0 as TargetSelect.h changed location,
and if you include the old one by accident you will trigger this assert.

current IR-level pass.
The old SjLj EH pass has some problems, especially with the new EH model. Most
significantly, it violates some of the new restrictions the new model has. For
instance, the 'dispatch' table wants to jump to the landing pad, but we cannot
allow that because only an invoke's unwind edge can jump to a landing pad. This
requires us to mangle the code something awful. In addition, we need to keep the
now dead landingpad instructions around instead of CSE'ing them because the
DWARF emitter uses that information (they are dead because no control flow edge
will execute them - the control flow edge from an invoke's unwind is superceded
by the edge coming from the dispatch).
Basically, this pass belongs not at the IR level where SSA is king, but at the
code-gen level, where we have more flexibility.

- Introduce JITDefault code model. This tells targets to set different default
code model for JIT. This eliminates the ugly hack in TargetMachine where
code model is changed after construction.

This patch eliminate TargetRegisterInfo from TargetAsmInfo. It's another step

and MCSubtargetInfo.
- Added methods to update subtarget features (used when targets automatically
detect subtarget features or switch modes).
- Teach X86Subtarget to update MCSubtargetInfo features bits since the
MCSubtargetInfo layer can be shared with other modules.
- These fixes .code 16 / .code 32 support since mode switch is updated in
MCSubtargetInfo so MC code emitter can do the right thing.
llvm-svn: 134884
- Each target asm parser now creates its own MCSubtatgetInfo (if needed).
- Changed AssemblerPredicate to take subtarget features which tablegen uses
to generate asm matcher subtarget feature queries. e.g.
"ModeThumb,FeatureThumb2" is translated to
"(Bits & ModeThumb) != 0 && (Bits & FeatureThumb2) != 0".
