on X86 Atom. Some of our tests failed because the tail merging part of
the BranchFolding pass was creating new basic blocks which did not
contain live-in information. When the anti-dependency code in the Post-RA
scheduler ran, it would sometimes rename the register containing
the function return value because the fact that the return value was
live-in to the subsequent block had been lost. To fix this, it is necessary
to run the RegisterScavenging code in the BranchFolding pass.
This patch makes sure that the register scavenging code is invoked
in the X86 subtarget only when post-RA scheduling is being done.
Post RA scheduling in the X86 subtarget is only done for Atom.
This patch adds a new function to the TargetRegisterClass to control
whether or not live-ins should be preserved during branch folding.
This is necessary in order for the anti-dependency optimizations done
during the PostRASchedulerList pass to work properly when doing
Post-RA scheduling for the X86 in general and for the Intel Atom in particular.
The patch adds and invokes the new function trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc()
instead of using the existing requiresRegisterScavenging().
It changes BranchFolding.cpp to call trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc() instead of
requiresRegisterScavenging(). It changes the all the targets that
implemented requiresRegisterScavenging() to also implement
trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc().
It adds an assertion in the Post RA scheduler to make sure that post RA
liveness information is available when it is needed.
It changes the X86 break-anti-dependencies test to use –mcpu=atom, in order
to avoid running into the added assertion.
Finally, this patch restores the use of anti-dependency checking
(which was turned off temporarily for the 3.1 release) for
Intel Atom in the Post RA scheduler.

Branch folding can use a register scavenger to update liveness
information when required. Don't do that if liveness information is
already invalid.

the DebugLoc information can be maintained throughout by grabbing the DebugLoc
before the RemoveBranch and then passing the result to the InsertBranch.

up so branch folding pass can't use the scavenger. :-( This doesn't breaks
anything currently. It just means targets which do not carefully update kill
markers cannot run post-ra scheduler (not new, it has always been the case).
We should fix this at some point since it's really hacky.

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.

generator to it. For non-bundle instructions, these behave exactly the same
as the MC layer API.
For properties like mayLoad / mayStore, look into the bundle and if any of the
bundled instructions has the property it would return true.
For properties like isPredicable, only return true if *all* of the bundled
instructions have the property.
For properties like canFoldAsLoad, isCompare, conservatively return false for
bundles.

An MBB which branches to an EH landing pad shouldn't be considered for tail merging.
In SjLj EH, the jump to the landing pad is not done explicitly through a branch
statement. The EH landing pad is added as a successor to the throwing
BB. Because of that however, the branch folding pass could mistakenly think that
it could merge the throwing BB with another BB. This isn't safe to do.

The old code would look at kills and defs in one pass over the
instruction operands, causing problems with this code:
%R0<def>, %CPSR<def,dead> = tLSLri %R5<kill>, 2, pred:14, pred:%noreg
%R0<def>, %CPSR<def,dead> = tADDrr %R4<kill>, %R0<kill>, pred:14, %pred:%noreg
The last instruction kills and redefines %R0, so it is still live after
the instruction.
This caused a register scavenger crash when compiling 483.xalancbmk for
armv6. I am not including a test case because it requires too much bad
luck to expose this old bug.
First you need to convince the register allocator to use %R0 twice on
the tADDrr instruction, then you have to convince BranchFolding to do
something that causes it to run the register scavenger on he bad block.

An exception is thrown via a call to _cxa_throw, which we don't expect to
return. Therefore, the "true" part of the invoke goes to a BB that has
'unreachable' as its only instruction. This is lowered into an empty MachineBB.
The landing pad for this invoke, however, is directly after the "true" MBB.
When the empty MBB is removed, the landing pad is directly below the BB with the
invoke call. The unconditional branch is removed and then the two blocks are
merged together.
The testcase is too big for a regression test.

- This fixed a number of bugs in if-converter, tail merging, and post-allocation
scheduler. If-converter now runs branch folding / tail merging first to
maximize if-conversion opportunities.
- Also changed the t2IT instruction slightly. It now defines the ITSTATE
register which is read by instructions in the IT block.
- Added Thumb2 specific hazard recognizer to ensure the scheduler doesn't
change the instruction ordering in the IT block (since IT mask has been
finalized). It also ensures no other instructions can be scheduled between
instructions in the IT block.
This is not yet enabled.

addresses a longstanding deficiency noted in many FIXMEs scattered
across all the targets.
This effectively moves the problem up one level, replacing eleven
FIXMEs in the targets with eight FIXMEs in CodeGen, plus one path
through FastISel where we actually supply a DebugLoc, fixing Radar

beneficial cases. See the changes in test/CodeGen/X86/tail-opts.ll and
test/CodeGen/ARM/ifcvt2.ll for details.
The fix is to change HashEndOfMBB to hash at most one instruction,
instead of trying to apply heuristics about when it will be profitable to
consider more than one instruction. The regular tail-merging heuristics
are already prepared to handle the same cases, and they're more precise.
Also, make test/CodeGen/ARM/ifcvt5.ll and
test/CodeGen/Thumb2/thumb2-branch.ll slightly more complex so that they
continue to test what they're intended to test.
And, this eliminates the problem in
test/CodeGen/Thumb2/2009-10-15-ITBlockBranch.ll, the testcase from
PR5204. Update it accordingly.

disabled for several months (since svn r88806) and no one noticed. My fix
for pr6543 yesterday reenabled it, but broke the ARM port's code for using
TBB/TBH. Rather than adding a target hook to disable merging for Thumb2 only,
I'm just taking this out. It is not common to have identical jump tables,
the code we used to merge them was O(N^2), and it only helps code size, not
performance.
