On the x86-64 and thumb2 targets, some registers are more expensive to encode
than others in the same register class.
Add a CostPerUse field to the TableGen register description, and make it
available from TRI->getCostPerUse. This represents the cost of a REX prefix or a
32-bit instruction encoding required by choosing a high register.
Teach the greedy register allocator to prefer cheap registers for busy live
ranges (as indicated by spill weight).

used by Clang. To help Clang integration, the PTX target has been split
into two targets: ptx32 and ptx64, depending on the desired pointer size.
- Add GCCBuiltin class to all intrinsics
- Split PTX target into ptx32 and ptx64

Add a avoidWriteAfterWrite() target hook to identify register classes that
suffer from write-after-write hazards. For those register classes, try to avoid
writing the same register in two consecutive instructions.
This is currently disabled by default. We should not spill to avoid hazards!
The command line flag -avoid-waw-hazard can be used to enable waw avoidance.

the generated FastISel. X86 doesn't need to generate code to match ADD16ri8
since ADD16ri will do just fine. This is a small codesize win in the generated
instruction selector.

kind of predicate: one that is specific to imm nodes. The predicate function
specified here just checks an int64_t directly instead of messing around with
SDNode's. The virtue of this is that it means that fastisel and other things
can reason about these predicates.

structure and fix some fixmes. We now have a TreePredicateFn class
that handles all of the decoding of these things. This is an internal
cleanup that has no impact on the code generated by tblgen.

The basic issue here is that bottom-up isel is matching the branch
and compare, and was failing to fold the load into the branch/compare
combo. Fixing this (by allowing folding into any instruction of a
sequence that is selected) allows us to produce things like:
cmpb $0, 52(%rax)
je LBB4_2
instead of:
movb 52(%rax), %cl
cmpb $0, %cl
je LBB4_2
This makes the generated -O0 code run a bit faster, but also speeds up
compile time by putting less pressure on the register allocator and
generating less code.
This was one of the biggest classes of missing load folding. Implementing
this shrinks 176.gcc's c-decl.s (as a random example) by about 4% in (verbose-asm)
line count.

Change ELF systems to use CFI for producing the EH tables. This reduces the
size of the clang binary in Debug builds from 690MB to 679MB.

This is done by pushing physical register definitions close to their
use, which happens to handle flag definitions if they're not glued to
the branch. This seems to be generally a good thing though, so I
didn't need to add a target hook yet.
The primary motivation is to generate code closer to what people
expect and rule out missed opportunity from enabling macro-op
fusion. As a side benefit, we get several 2-5% gains on x86
benchmarks. There is one regression:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/lists slows down be -10%. But this is
an independent scheduler bug that will be tracked separately.
See rdar://problem/9283108.
Incidentally, pre-RA scheduling is only half the solution. Fixing the
later passes is tracked by:
<rdar://problem/8932804> [pre-RA-sched] on x86, attempt to schedule CMP/TEST adjacent with condition jump
Fixes:
<rdar://problem/9262453> Scheduler unnecessary break of cmp/jump fusion

will allow multiple context with different loop unroll parameters to run. This is a minor change and no effect
on existing application.
