2b916d7011 GCOV: Move GCOV from IR & Support into ProfileData to fix layering
This class was split between libIR and libSupport, which breaks under
modular code generation. Move it into the one library that uses it,
ProfileData, to resolve this issue.

dda17788af This patch fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32352
It enables OptimizationRemarkEmitter::allowExtraAnalysis and MachineOptimizationRemarkEmitter::allowExtraAnalysis to return true not only for -fsave-optimization-record but when specific remarks are requested with
command line options.
The diagnostic handler used to be callback now this patch adds a class
DiagnosticHandler. It has virtual method to provide custom diagnostic handler
and methods to control which particular remarks are enabled. 
However LLVM-C API users can still provide callback function for diagnostic handler.

2f21b887d3 [SafepointIRVerifier] Add verifier pass for finding GC relocation bugs
Original Patch and summary by Philip Reames.

RewriteStatepointsForGC tries to rewrite a function in a manner where
the optimizer can't end up using a pointer value after it might have
been relocated by a safepoint. This pass checks the invariant that
RSForGC is supposed to establish and that (if we constructed semantics
correctly) later passes must preserve.

This has been a really useful diagnostic tool when initially developing
the rewriting scheme and has found numerous bugs.

fd49f275f8 Initial implementation of optimization bisect support.
This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.

The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit).  Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit.  A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.

The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check.  Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute.  A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

4693e391ce [ptr-traits] Merge the MetadataTracking helpers into the Metadata
header.

This is part of a series of patches to allow LLVM to check for complete
pointee types when computing its pointer traits. This is absolutely
necessary to get correct (or reproducible) results for things like how
many low bits are guaranteed to be zero.

The MetadataTracking helpers aren't actually independent. They rely on
constructing a PointerUnion between Metadata and MetadataAsValue
pointers, which requires know the alignment of pointers to those types
which requires them to be complete.

The .cpp file even defined a method declared in Metadata.h! These really
don't seem like something that is separable, and there is no real
layering problem with just placing them together.

The first customer is ThinLTO, however the data structures are designed
and named more generally based on prior feedback. There are a few
comments regarding how certain interfaces are used by ThinLTO, and the
options added here to gold currently have ThinLTO-specific names as the
behavior they provoke is currently ThinLTO-specific.

95098b9759 Revert GCStrategy ownership changes
This change reverts the interesting parts of 226311 (and 227046).  This change introduced two problems, and I've been convinced that an alternate approach is preferrable anyways.

The bugs were:
- Registery appears to require all users be within the same linkage unit.  After this change, asking for "statepoint-example" in Transform/ would sometimes get you nullptr, whereas asking the same question in CodeGen would return the right GCStrategy.  The correct long term fix is to get rid of the utter hack which is Registry, but I don't have time for that right now.  227046 appears to have been an attempt to fix this, but I don't believe it does so completely.
- GCMetadataPrinter::finishAssembly was being called more than once per GCStrategy.  Each Strategy was being added to the GCModuleInfo multiple times.

Once I get time again, I'm going to split GCModuleInfo into the gc.root specific part and a GCStrategy owning Analysis pass.  I'm probably also going to kill off the Registry.  Once that's done, I'll move the new GCStrategyAnalysis and all built in GCStrategies into Analysis.  (As original suggested by Chandler.)  This will accomplish my original goal of being able to access GCStrategy from Transform/  without adding all of the builtin GCs to IR/.

c6126d1689 Move ownership of GCStrategy objects to LLVMContext
Note: This change ended up being slightly more controversial than expected.  Chandler has tentatively okayed this for the moment, but I may be revisiting this in the near future after we settle some high level questions.

Rather than have the GCStrategy object owned by the GCModuleInfo - which is an immutable analysis pass used mainly by gc.root - have it be owned by the LLVMContext. This simplifies the ownership logic (i.e. can you have two instances of the same strategy at once?), but more importantly, allows us to access the GCStrategy in the middle end optimizer. To this end, I add an accessor through Function which becomes the canonical way to get at a GCStrategy instance.

In the near future, this will allows me to move some of the checks from http://reviews.llvm.org/D6808 into the Verifier itself, and to introduce optimization legality predicates for some of the recent additions to InstCombine. (These will follow as separate changes.)

3d57886267 IR: Split Metadata from Value
Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532.  Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.

I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`.  If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(.  Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it.  FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.

This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.

Here's a quick guide for updating your code:

  - `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
    `MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`.  It is distinct from
    the `Value` class hierarchy.  It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
    *not* have a `Type`.

  - `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).

  - `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
    replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.

    If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
    construction -- just use `MDNode*`.

  - `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
    `replaceAllUsesWith()`.

    As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
    result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
    uses and can RAUW itself.  Once the forward declarations are fully
    resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground.  This means that
    uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
    "distinct".  (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
    operand went to null.)

    If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
    you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
    top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes).  Also,
    don't do that.  Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
    construct them) are expensive.

  - An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
    `ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).

    As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
    to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
    `Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
    third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.

    The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
    metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
    the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
    `GlobalValue`s).

    In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
    namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
    avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
    site.  If your old code was:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    you can trivially match its semantics with:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(mdconst::hasa               <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(mdconst::extract            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(mdconst::extract_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(mdconst::dyn_extract        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

  - A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
    metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`.  This is a
    subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.

    `MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
    `LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
    like `Argument` and `Instruction`.  It can also refer to any other
    `Metadata` subclass.

(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

02104421ff [Statepoints 3/4] Statepoint infrastructure for garbage collection: SelectionDAGBuilder
This is the third patch in a small series.  It contains the CodeGen support for lowering the gc.statepoint intrinsic sequences (223078) to the STATEPOINT pseudo machine instruction (223085).  The change also includes the set of helper routines and classes for working with gc.statepoints, gc.relocates, and gc.results since the lowering code uses them.  

With this change, gc.statepoints should be functionally complete.  The documentation will follow in the fourth change, and there will likely be some cleanup changes, but interested parties can start experimenting now.

I'm not particularly happy with the amount of code or complexity involved with the lowering step, but at least it's fairly well isolated.  The statepoint lowering code is split into it's own files and anyone not working on the statepoint support itself should be able to ignore it.  

During the lowering process, we currently spill aggressively to stack. This is not entirely ideal (and we have plans to do better), but it's functional, relatively straight forward, and matches closely the implementations of the patchpoint intrinsics.  Most of the complexity comes from trying to keep relocated copies of values in the same stack slots across statepoints.  Doing so avoids the insertion of pointless load and store instructions to reshuffle the stack.  The current implementation isn't as effective as I'd like, but it is functional and 'good enough' for many common use cases.  

In the long term, I'd like to figure out how to integrate the statepoint lowering with the register allocator.  In principal, we shouldn't need to eagerly spill at all.  The register allocator should do any spilling required and the statepoint should simply record that fact.  Depending on how challenging that turns out to be, we may invest in a smarter global stack slot assignment mechanism as a stop gap measure.

f0897d8b1b [PM] Rename this source file to something a bit more generic before
I add support for the new pass manager to it.

4dc5af8bc2 Move the llvm mangler to lib/IR.
This makes it available to tools that don't link with target (like llvm-ar).

67a68c0b99 Add warning capabilities in LLVM.
This reapplies r197438 and fixes the link-time circular dependency between
IR and Support. The fix consists in moving the diagnostic support into IR.

The patch adds a new LLVMContext::diagnose that can be used to communicate to
the front-end, if any, that something of interest happened.
The diagnostics are supported by a new abstraction, the DiagnosticInfo class.
The base class contains the following information:
- The kind of the report: What this is about.
- The severity of the report: How bad this is.

This patch also adds 2 classes:
- DiagnosticInfoInlineAsm: For inline asm reporting. Basically, this diagnostic
will be used to switch to the new diagnostic API for LLVMContext::emitError.
- DiagnosticStackSize: For stack size reporting. Comes as a replacement of the
hard coded warning in PEI.

This patch also features dynamic diagnostic identifiers. In other words plugins
can use this infrastructure for their own diagnostics (for more details, see
getNextAvailablePluginDiagnosticKind).

This patch introduces a new DiagnosticHandlerTy and a new DiagnosticContext in
the LLVMContext that should be set by the front-end to be able to map these
diagnostics in its own system.

4e1d27ef68 Introduce an AnalysisManager which is like a pass manager but with a lot
more smarts in it. This is where most of the interesting logic that used
to live in the implicit-scheduling-hackery of the old pass manager will
live.

Like the previous commits, note that this is a very early prototype!
I expect substantial changes before this is ready to use.

The core of the design is the following:

- We have an AnalysisManager which can be used across a series of
  passes over a module.
- The code setting up a pass pipeline registers the analyses available
  with the manager.
- Individual transform passes can check than an analysis manager
  provides the analyses they require in order to fail-fast.
- There is *no* implicit registration or scheduling.
- Analysis passes are different from other passes: they produce an
  analysis result that is cached and made available via the analysis
  manager.
- Cached results are invalidated automatically by the pass managers.
- When a transform pass requests an analysis result, either the analysis
  is run to produce the result or a cached result is provided.

There are a few aspects of this design that I *know* will change in
subsequent commits:
- Currently there is no "preservation" system, that needs to be added.
- All of the analysis management should move up to the analysis library.
- The analysis management needs to support at least SCC passes. Maybe
  loop passes. Living in the analysis library will facilitate this.
- Need support for analyses which are *both* module and function passes.
- Need support for pro-actively running module analyses to have cached
  results within a function pass manager.
- Need a clear design for "immutable" passes.
- Need support for requesting cached results when available and not
  re-running the pass even if that would be necessary.
- Need more thorough testing of all of this infrastructure.

There are other aspects that I view as open questions I'm hoping to
resolve as I iterate a bit on the infrastructure, and especially as
I start writing actual passes against this.
- Should we have separate management layers for function, module, and
  SCC analyses? I think "yes", but I'm not yet ready to switch the code.
  Adding SCC support will likely resolve this definitively.
- How should the 'require' functionality work? Should *that* be the only
  way to request results to ensure that passes always require things?
- How should preservation work?
- Probably some other things I'm forgetting. =]

Look forward to more patches in shorter order now that this is in place.

f2e7a23acb Move the old pass manager infrastructure into a legacy namespace and
give the files a legacy prefix in the right directory. Use forwarding
headers in the old locations to paper over the name change for most
clients during the transitional period.

No functionality changed here! This is just clearing some space to
reduce renaming churn later on with a new system.

Even when the new stuff starts to go in, it is going to be hidden behind
a flag and off-by-default as it is still WIP and under development.

This patch is specifically designed so that very little out-of-tree code
has to change. I'm going to work as hard as I can to keep that the case.
Only direct forward declarations of the PassManager class are impacted
by this change.

3c0f5d4efb Move TargetTransformInfo to live under the Analysis library. This no
longer would violate any dependency layering and it is in fact an
analysis. =]

1879729aa9 Rename VMCore directory to IR.
Aside from moving the actual files, this patch only updates the build
system and the source file comments under lib/... that are relevant.

I'll be updating other docs and other files in smaller subsequnet
commits.

While I've tried to test this, but it is entirely possible that there
will still be some build system fallout.

Also, note that I've not changed the library name itself: libLLVMCore.a
is still the library name. I'd be interested in others' opinions about
whether we should rename this as well (I think we should, just not sure
what it might break)
