NaCl's sandbox doesn't allow PUSHF/POPF out of security concerns (priviledged emulators have forgotten to mask system bits in the past, and EFLAGS's DF bit is a constant source of hilarity). Commit r220529 fixed PR20376 by saving cmpxchg's flags result using EFLAGS, this commit now generated LAHF/SAHF instead, for all of x86 (not just NaCl) because it leads to an overall performance gain over PUSHF/POPF.
As with the previous patch this code generation is pretty bad because it occurs very later, after register allocation, and in many cases it rematerializes flags which were already available (e.g. already in a register through SETE). Fortunately it's somewhat rare that this code needs to fire.
I did [[ https://github.com/jfbastien/benchmark-x86-flags | a bit of benchmarking ]], the results on an Intel Haswell E5-2690 CPU at 2.9GHz are:

Clearly `PUSHF`/`POPF` are suboptimal. It doesn't really seems to be worth teaching LLVM about individual flags, at least not for this purpose.

This patch moves the verification of fast-math to just before vectorization is done. This way we can tell clang to append the command line options would that allow floating-point commutativity. Specifically those are enableing fast-math or specifying a loop hint.

Sometimes interleaving is not beneficial, as determined by the cost-model and sometimes it is disabled by a loop hint (by the user). This patch modifies the diagnostic messages to make it clear why interleaving wasn't done.

The LDD/STD instructions can load/store a 64bit quantity from/to
memory to/from a consecutive even/odd pair of (32-bit) registers. They
are part of SparcV8, and also present in SparcV9. (Although deprecated
there, as you can store 64bits in one register).
As recommended on llvmdev in the thread "How to enable use of 64bit
load/store for 32bit architecture" from Apr 2015, I've modeled the
64-bit load/store operations as working on a v2i32 type, rather than
making i64 a legal type, but with few legal operations. The latter
does not (currently) work, as there is much code in llvm which assumes
that if i64 is legal, operations like "add" will actually work on it.
The same assumption does not hold for v2i32 -- for vector types, it is
workable to support only load/store, and expand everything else.
This patch:
- Adds a new register class, IntPair, for even/odd pairs of registers.
- Modifies the list of reserved registers, the stack spilling code,
and register copying code to support the IntPair register class.
- Adds support in AsmParser. (note that in asm text, you write the
name of the first register of the pair only. So the parser has to
morph the single register into the equivalent paired register).
- Adds the new instructions themselves (LDD/STD/LDDA/STDA).
- Hooks up the instructions and registers as a vector type v2i32. Adds
custom legalizer to transform i64 load/stores into v2i32 load/stores
and bitcasts, so that the new instructions can actually be
generated, and marks all operations other than load/store on v2i32
as needing to be expanded.
- Copies the unfortunate SelectInlineAsm hack from ARMISelDAGToDAG.
This hack undoes the transformation of i64 operands into two
arbitrarily-allocated separate i32 registers in
SelectionDAGBuilder. and instead passes them in a single
IntPair. (Arbitrarily allocated registers are not useful, asm code
expects to be receiving a pair, which can be passed to ldd/std.)
Also adds a bunch of test cases covering all the bugs I've added along
the way.

I looked into adding a warning / error for this to FileCheck, but there doesn't
seem to be a good way to avoid it triggering on the instances of it in RUN lines.

This change adds the unroll metadata "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" which directs
the optimizer to unroll a loop fully if the trip count is known at compile time, and
unroll partially if the trip count is not known at compile time. This differs from
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" which explicitly does not unroll a loop if the trip count is not
known at compile time.
The "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" is intended to be added for loops annotated with
"#pragma unroll".

Summary:
This adds a hook to TTI which enables us to selectively turn on by default
interleaved access vectorization for targets on which we have have performed
the required benchmarking.

The scalarizer can cache incorrect entries when walking up a chain of
insertelement instructions. This occurs when it encounters more than one
instruction that it is not actively searching for, as it unconditionally caches
every element it finds. The fix is to only cache the first element that it
isn't searching for so we don't overwrite correct entries.

Summary:
Analogously to Function::viewCFG(), RegionInfo::view() and RegionInfo::viewOnly() are meant to be called in debugging sessions. They open a viewer to show how RegionInfo currently understands the region hierarchy.
The functions viewRegion(Function*) and viewRegionOnly(Function*) invoke a fresh region analysis of the function in contrast to viewRegion(RegionInfo*) and viewRegionOnly(RegionInfo*) which show the current analysis result.

This allows printing region graphs when only the RegionInfo (e.g. Region::getRegionInfo()), but no RegionInfoPass object is available.
Specifically, we will use this to print RegionInfo graphs in the debugger.

PR24139 contains an analysis of poor register allocation. One of the findings
was that when calculating the spill weight, a rematerializable interval once
split is no longer rematerializable. This is because the isRematerializable
check in CalcSpillWeights.cpp does not follow the copies introduced by live
range splitting (after splitting, the live interval register definition is a
copy which is not rematerializable).

The SP was always unconditionally assigned to later, but initialised early.
This delays the initialisation, and avoids the dead store. Identified by
clang static analysis. No functional change intended.
