when possible, avoiding the load (and avoiding the copy if the value is already
in the right register).
This patch came about when I noticed code like the following being generated:
store R17 -> [SS1]
...blah...
R4 = load [SS1]
This was causing an LSU reject on the G5. This problem was due to the register
allocator folding spill code into a reg-reg copy (producing the load), which
prevented the spiller from being able to rewrite the load into a copy, despite
the fact that the value was already available in a register. In the case
above, we now rip out the R4 load and replace it with a R4 = R17 copy.
This speeds up several programs on X86 (which spills a lot :) ), e.g.
smg2k from 22.39->20.60s, povray from 12.93->12.66s, 168.wupwise from
68.54->53.83s (!), 197.parser from 7.33->6.62s (!), etc. This may have a larger
impact in some cases on the G5 (by avoiding LSU rejects), though it probably
won't trigger as often (less spilling in general).
Targets that implement folding of loads/stores into copies should implement
the isLoadFromStackSlot hook to get this.

are, simplify logic, and cause things to not be nested as deeply. This also
uses MRI->areAliases instead of an explicit loop.
No functionality change, just code cleanup.

The problem occurred when trying to reload this instruction:
MOV32mr %reg2326, 8, %reg2297, 4, %reg2295
The value of reg2326 was available in EBX, so it was reused from there, instead
of reloading it into EDX.
The value of reg2297 was available in EDX, so it was reused from there, instead
of reloading it into EDI.
The value of reg2295 was not available, so we tried reloading it into EBX, its
assigned register. However, we checked and saw that we already reloaded
something into EBX, so we chose what reg2326 was assigned to (EDX) and reloaded
into that register instead.
Unfortunately EDX had already been used by reg2297, so reloading into EDX
clobbered the value used by the reg2326 operand, breaking the program.
The fix for this is to check that the newly picked register is ok. In this
case we now find that EDX is already used and try using EDI, which succeeds.

it was a use, def, or both. This allows us to be less pessimistic in our
analysis of them. In practice, this doesn't make a big difference, but it
doesn't hurt either.

and delete them if they turn out to be dead. This is a useful little hack
that even speeds up some programs. For example, it speeds up Ptrdist/ks
from 17.53s to 15.59s, and 188.ammp from 149s to 146s.
This also speeds up llc :)
llvm-svn: 16630
generated code over the simple spiller. The new local spiller generates
substantially better code than the simple one in some cases, by reusing
values that are loaded out of stack slots and kept available in registers.
This primarily helps programs that are spilling a lot, and there is still
stuff that can be done to improve it. This patch makes the local spiller
the default, as it's only a tiny bit slower than the simple spiller (it
increases the runtime of llc by < 1%).
Here are some numbers with speedups.

two spillers produce perfectly identical code (at least on povray and eon),
but the simple spiller is substantially faster than the local spiller. Once
the local spiller is improved, we can switch back.
Switching cuts 5.2% off of the llc time for povray (about 1.3s).

use a simple vector. This speeds up -spiller=simple from taking 22s to taking
.1s on povray (debug build). This change does not modify the generated code.

allocator.
The implementation is completely rewritten and now employs several
optimizations not exercised before. For example for 164.gzip we have
997 loads and 699 stores vs the 1221 loads and 880 stores we have
before.
