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.

Most of these tests require a single mov instruction that can come either before
or after a 2-addr instruction. -join-physregs changes the behavior, but the
results are equivalent.

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

prologue and epilogue if the adjustment is 8. Similarly, use pushl / popl if
the adjustment is 4 in 32-bit mode.
In the epilogue, takes care to pop to a caller-saved register that's not live
at the exit (either return or tailcall instruction).

This reverts revision 114633. It was breaking llvm-gcc-i386-linux-selfhost.
It seems there is a downstream bug that is exposed by
-cgp-critical-edge-splitting=0. When that bug is fixed, this patch can go back
in.
Note that the changes to tailcallfp2.ll are not reverted. They were good are
required.

1) Do forward copy propagation. This makes it easier to estimate the cost of the
instruction being sunk.
2) Break critical edges on demand, including cases where the value is used by
PHI nodes.
Critical edge splitting is not yet enabled by default.

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.

code-size win, and not when it's only likely to be code-size neutral,
such as when only a single instruction would be eliminated and a new
branch would be required.
This fixes rdar://7392894.

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.
