It includes a pass that rewrites all indirect calls to jumptable functions to pass through these tables.
This also adds backend support for generating the jump-instruction tables on ARM and X86.
Note that since the jumptable attribute creates a second function pointer for a
function, any function marked with jumptable must also be marked with unnamed_addr.

Sometimes a LLVM compilation may take more time then a client would like to
wait for. The problem is that it is not possible to safely suspend the LLVM
thread from the outside. When the timing is bad it might be possible that the
LLVM thread holds a global mutex and this would block any progress in any other
thread.
This commit adds a new yield callback function that can be registered with a
context. LLVM will try to yield by calling this callback function, but there is
no guaranteed frequency. LLVM will only do so if it can guarantee that
suspending the thread won't block any forward progress in other LLVM contexts
in the same process.
Once the client receives the call back it can suspend the thread safely and
resume it at another time.

This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.

This commit provides the necessary C/C++ APIs and infastructure to enable fine-
grain progress report and safe suspension points after each pass in the pass
manager.
Clients can provide a callback function to the pass manager to call after each
pass. This can be used in a variety of ways (progress report, dumping of IR
between passes, safe suspension of threads, etc).
The run listener list is maintained in the LLVMContext, which allows a multi-
threaded client to be only informed for it's own thread. This of course assumes
that the client created a LLVMContext for each thread.
This fixes <rdar://problem/16728690>

This adds support for an -mattr option to the gold plugin and to llvm-lto. This
allows the caller to specify details of the subtarget architecture, like +aes,
or +ssse3 on x86. Note that this requires a change to the include/llvm-c/lto.h
interface: it adds a function lto_codegen_set_attr and it increments the
version of the interface.

We normally don't drop functions from the C API's, but in this case I think we
can:
* The old implementation of getFileOffset was fairly broken
* The introduction of LLVMGetSymbolFileOffset was itself a C api breaking
change as it removed LLVMGetSymbolOffset.
* It is an incredibly specialized use case. The only reason MCJIT needs it is
because of its odd position of being a dynamic linker of .o files.

This adds a second implementation of the AArch64 architecture to LLVM,
accessible in parallel via the "arm64" triple. The plan over the
coming weeks & months is to merge the two into a single backend,
during which time thorough code review should naturally occur.
Everything will be easier with the target in-tree though, hence this
commit.

selfhost.
The 'Core.h' C-API header is part of the IR LLVM library. (One might
even argue it should be called IR.h, but that's a separate point.) We
can't include it into a Support header without violating the layering,
and in a way that breaks modules. MemoryBuffer's opaque C type was being
defined in the Core.h C-API header despite being in the Support library,
and thus we ended up with this weird issue.
It turns out that there were other constructs from the Support library
in the Core.h header. This patch lifts all of them into Support.h and
then includes that into Core.h.
The only possible fallout is if someone was including Support.h and
relying on Core.h to be visible for their own uses. Considering the
narrow interface actually provided by the C-API for the Support library,
this seems a very, very unlikely mistake.

A 'remark' is information that is not an error or a warning, but rather some
additional information provided to the user. In contrast to a 'note' a 'remark'
is an independent diagnostic, whereas a 'note' always depends on another
diagnostic.
A typical use case for remark nodes is information provided to the user, e.g.
information provided by the vectorizer about loops that have been vectorized.

This function adds an extra path argument to lto_module_create_from_memory.
The path argument will be passed to makeBuffer to make sure the MemoryBuffer
has a name and the created module has a module identifier.
This is mainly for emitting warning messages from the linker. When we emit
warning message on a module, we can use the module identifier.

This patch adds the target analysis passes (usually TargetTransformInfo) to the
codgen pipeline. We also expose now the AddAnalysisPasses method through the C
API, because the optimizer passes would also benefit from better target-specific
cost models.

Adding a doxygen comment for each bit of API to indicate at which
LTO_API_VERSION each was available, manually gleaned from successive
git-blames. A few notes:
- LTO_API_VERSION was set to 3 at its introduction.
- I've indicated all the API introduced before LTO_API_VERSION was
around as available "prior to LTO_API_VERSION=3".
- A number of API changes neglected to bump LTO_API_VERSION. These I've
indicated as available at the *next* bump of LTO_API_VERSION.

Add a hook in the C API of LTO so that clients of the code generator can set
their own handler for the LLVM diagnostics.
The handler is defined like this:
typedef void (*lto_diagnostic_handler_t)(lto_codegen_diagnostic_severity_t
severity, const char *diag, void *ctxt)
- severity says how bad this is.
- diag is a string that contains the diagnostic message.
- ctxt is the registered context for this handler.
This hook is more general than the lto_get_error_message, since this function
keeps only the latest message and can only be queried when something went wrong
(no warning for instance).

Reapply r199191, reverted in r199197 because it carelessly broke
Other/link-opts.ll. The problem was that calling
createInternalizePass("main") would select
createInternalizePass(bool("main")) instead of
createInternalizePass(ArrayRef<const char *>("main")). This commit
fixes the bug.
The original commit message follows.
Add API to LTOCodeGenerator to specify a strategy for the -internalize
pass.
This is a new attempt at Bill's change in r185882, which he reverted in
r188029 due to problems with the gold linker. This puts the onus on the
linker to decide whether (and what) to internalize.
In particular, running internalize before outputting an object file may
change a 'weak' symbol into an internal one, even though that symbol
could be needed by an external object file --- e.g., with arclite.
This patch enables three strategies:
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL: the default (and the old behaviour).
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE: skip -internalize.
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN: only -internalize symbols with hidden
visibility.
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL should be used when linking an executable.
Outputting an object file (e.g., via ld -r) is more complicated, and
depends on whether hidden symbols should be internalized. E.g., for
ld -r, LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE can be used when -keep_private_externs, and
LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN can be used otherwise. However,
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL is inappropriate, since the output object file will
eventually need to link with others.
lto_codegen_set_internalize_strategy() sets the strategy for subsequent
calls to lto_codegen_write_merged_modules() and lto_codegen_compile*().

Representing dllexport/dllimport as distinct linkage types prevents using
these attributes on templates and inline functions.
Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and
weak ODR, the old import/export linkage types are replaced with a new
separate visibility-like specifier:
define available_externally dllimport void @f() {}
@Var = dllexport global i32 1, align 4
Linkage for dllexported globals and functions is now equal to their linkage
without dllexport. Imported globals and functions must be either
declarations with external linkage, or definitions with
AvailableExternallyLinkage.

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

This adds a loop rerolling pass: the opposite of (partial) loop unrolling. The
transformation aims to take loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < 3200; i += 5) {
a[i] += alpha * b[i];
a[i + 1] += alpha * b[i + 1];
a[i + 2] += alpha * b[i + 2];
a[i + 3] += alpha * b[i + 3];
a[i + 4] += alpha * b[i + 4];
}
and turn them into this:
for (int i = 0; i < 3200; ++i) {
a[i] += alpha * b[i];
}
and loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < 500; ++i) {
x[3*i] = foo(0);
x[3*i+1] = foo(0);
x[3*i+2] = foo(0);
}
and turn them into this:
for (int i = 0; i < 1500; ++i) {
x[i] = foo(0);
}
There are two motivations for this transformation:
1. Code-size reduction (especially relevant, obviously, when compiling for
code size).
2. Providing greater choice to the loop vectorizer (and generic unroller) to
choose the unrolling factor (and a better ability to vectorize). The loop
vectorizer can take vector lengths and register pressure into account when
choosing an unrolling factor, for example, and a pre-unrolled loop limits that
choice. This is especially problematic if the manual unrolling was optimized
for a machine different from the current target.
The current implementation is limited to single basic-block loops only. The
rerolling recognition should work regardless of how the loop iterations are
intermixed within the loop body (subject to dependency and side-effect
constraints), but the significant restriction is that the order of the
instructions in each iteration must be identical. This seems sufficient to
capture all current use cases.
This pass is not currently enabled by default at any optimization level.
