Summary:
gep 0, 0 is equivalent to bitcast. LLVM canonicalizes it
to getelementptr because it make SROA can then handle it.
Simple case like
void g(A &a) {
z(a);
if (glob)
a.foo();
}
void testG() {
A a;
g(a);
}
was not devirtualized with -fstrict-vtable-pointers because luck of
handling for gep 0 in Memory Dependence Analysis

This change adds a new intrinsic which is intended to provide memcpy functionality
with additional atomicity guarantees. Please refer to the review thread
or language reference for further details.

Summary:
This replaces the format member search, which was quite complicated, with a more
direct approach to detecting whether a class should be formatted using the
format-member method. Instead we use a special type llvm::format_adapter, which
every adapter must inherit from. Then the search can be simply implemented with
the is_base_of type trait.
Aside from the simplification, I like this way more because it makes it more
explicit that you are supposed to use this type only for adapter-like
formattings, and the other approach (format_provider overloads) should be used
as a default (a mistake I made when first trying to use this library).
The only slight change in behaviour here is that now choose the format-adapter
branch even if the format member invocation will fail to compile (e.g. because it is a
non-const member function and we are passing a const adapter), whereas
previously we would have gone on to search for format_providers for the type.
However, I think that is actually a good thing, as it probably means the
programmer did something wrong.

There was an efficiency problem with how we processed @llvm.assume in
ValueTracking (and other places). The AssumptionCache tracked all of the
assumptions in a given function. In order to find assumptions relevant to
computing known bits, etc. we searched every assumption in the function. For
ValueTracking, that means that we did O(#assumes * #values) work in InstCombine
and other passes (with a constant factor that can be quite large because we'd
repeat this search at every level of recursion of the analysis).
Several of us discussed this situation at the last developers' meeting, and
this implements the discussed solution: Make the values that an assume might
affect operands of the assume itself. To avoid exposing this detail to
frontends and passes that need not worry about it, I've used the new
operand-bundle feature to add these extra call "operands" in a way that does
not affect the intrinsic's signature. I think this solution is relatively
clean. InstCombine adds these extra operands based on what ValueTracking, LVI,
etc. will need and then those passes need only search the users of the values
under consideration. This should fix the computational-complexity problem.
At this point, no passes depend on the AssumptionCache, and so I'll remove
that as a follow-up change.

Summary:
Attaching !absolute_symbol to a global variable does two things:
1) Marks it as an absolute symbol reference.
2) Specifies the value range of that symbol's address.
Teach the X86 backend to allow absolute symbols to appear in place of
immediates by extending the relocImm and mov64imm32 matchers. Start using
relocImm in more places where it is legal.

The relocations for `DIEEntry::EmitValue` were wrong for Win64
(emitting FK_Data_4 instead of FK_SecRel_4). This corrects that
oversight so that the DWARF data is correct in Win64 COFF files.
Fixes PR15393.

Now that PointerType is no longer a SequentialType, all SequentialTypes
have an associated number of elements, so we can move that information to
the base class, allowing for a number of simplifications.

This is for a couple of reasons:
- Values of type PointerType are unlike the other SequentialTypes (arrays
and vectors) in that they do not hold values of the element type. By moving
PointerType we can unify certain aspects of how the other SequentialTypes
are handled.
- PointerType will have no place in the SequentialType hierarchy once
pointee types are removed, so this is a necessary step towards removing
pointee types.

The previously used "names" are rather descriptions (they use multiple
words and contain spaces), use short programming language identifier
like strings for the "names" which should be used when exporting to
machine parseable formats.
Also removed a unused TimerGroup from Hexxagon.

Summary:
We update the documentation to define what the requirements are for the
provided XRay log handler. This is to make it clear that the function
pointer provided must do internal synchronisation and that there are no
guarantees provided by XRay on when the function shall be invoked once
it has been installed as a log handler.

`shl nsw i8 1, i8 8` is poison, but `mul i8 1, i8 128` is not.
This was discussed previously here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-April/084195.html. From
the discussion, it was not clear which semantics we want for `shl`, but
for now at least make the language reference more accurate.

This introduces a new type-safe general purpose formatting
library. It provides compile-time type safety, does not require
a format specifier (since the type is deduced), and provides
mechanisms for extending the format capability to user defined
types, and overriding the formatting behavior for existing types.
This patch additionally adds documentation for the API to the
LLVM programmer's manual.

If the inrange keyword is present before any index, loading from or
storing to any pointer derived from the getelementptr has undefined
behavior if the load or store would access memory outside of the bounds of
the element selected by the index marked as inrange.
This can be used, e.g. for alias analysis or to split globals at element
boundaries where beneficial.

Summary:
This is the initial version of the documentation for how to use XRay as
it stands in LLVM, Clang, and compiler-rt. We leave some room for later
expansion mentioining what is work in progress and what could be
expected moving forward.
We also give a high level overview of future work that's both ongoing
and planned.
