Match binutils by supporting the optional register name prefix for new vector

Add assembler/disassembler support for dcbt/dcbtst (and aliases) with the hint
field specified (non-zero). Unforunately, the syntax for this instruction is
special in that it differs for server vs. embedded cores:
dcbt ra, rb, th [server]
dcbt th, ra, rb [embedded]
where th can be omitted when it is 0. dcbtst is the same. Thus we need to play
games in the parser and the printer to flip the operands around on the embedded
cores. We'll use the server syntax as the default (binutils currently uses the
embedded form by default, but IBM is changing that).
We also stop marking dcbtst as having unmodeled side effects (this is not
necessary, it is just a hint like dcbt -- noticed by inspection, so no separate
test case).

This makes it more likely that we can use the 16-bit push and pop instructions
on Thumb-2, saving around 4 bytes per function.

This appears to have been introduced back in r76698 as part of an unrelated
change. I can find no official ARM documentation stating that Thumb-2 functions
require 4-byte alignment; in fact, ARM documentation appears to contradict
this (see, e.g., ARM Architecture Reference Manual Thumb-2 Supplement,
section 2.6.1: "Thumb-2 enforces 16-bit alignment on all instructions.").
Also remove code that sets alignment for ARM functions, which is redundant
with code in the MachineFunction constructor, and remove the hidden
-arm-align-constant-islands flag, which has been enabled by default since
r146739 (Dec 2011) and has probably received sufficient testing by now.

TableGen had been nicely generating code to print a number of instructions using
shorter aliases (and PowerPC has plenty of short mnemonics), but we were not
calling it. For some of the aliases we support in the parser, TableGen can't
infer the "inverse" alias relationship, so there is still more to do.
Thus, after some hours of updating test cases...

Third time's the charm. The previous commit was reverted as a

Summary:
Bundle aligment requires that the functions always start at an aligned address.
Usually this is ensured by the compiler, but assembly code does not always
begin with a .align directive.
This change ensures that sections get the correct alignment if they contain
any instructions and bundling is enabled. (It also makes LLVM match the
behavior of GNU as).

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.
llvm-svn: 235227
Part of pr23272.
A small annoyance with the assembly syntax we implement is that given an
expression there is no way to know if what is desired is the value of that
expression for the symbols in this file or for the final values of those
symbols in a link.
The first case is useful for use in sections that get discarded or ignored
if the section they are describing is discarded.
For axample, consider A-B where A and B are in the same comdat section.
We can compute the value of the difference in the section that is present in
the current .o and if that section survives to the final DSO the value will
still will be correct.
But the section is in a comdat. Another section from another object file
might be used istead. We know that that section will define A and B, but
we have no idea what the value of A-B might be.
In practice we have to assume that the intention is to compute the value
in the current section since otherwise the is no way to create something like
the debug aranges section.

Linkers normally read all the relocations upfront to compute the references
between sections. Putting them together is a bit more cache friendly.
I benchmarked linking a Release+Asserts clang with gold on a vm. I tried all
4 combinations of --gc-sections/no --gc-section hot and cold cache.
I cleared the cache with
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
and warmed it up by running the link once before timing the subsequent ones.
With cold cache and --gc-sections the time goes from
1.86130781665 +- 0.01713126697463843 seconds

1.82370735105 +- 0.014127522318814516 seconds

See r230786 and r230794 for similar changes to gep and load
respectively.
Call is a bit different because it often doesn't have a single explicit
type - usually the type is deduced from the arguments, and just the
return type is explicit. In those cases there's no need to change the
IR.
When that's not the case, the IR usually contains the pointer type of
the first operand - but since typed pointers are going away, that
representation is insufficient so I'm just stripping the "pointerness"
of the explicit type away.
This does make the IR a bit weird - it /sort of/ reads like the type of
the first operand: "call void () %x(" but %x is actually of type "void
()*" and will eventually be just of type "ptr". But this seems not too
bad and I don't think it would benefit from repeating the type
("void (), void () * %x(" and then eventually "void (), ptr %x(") as has
been done with gep and load.
This also has a side benefit: since the explicit type is no longer a
pointer, there's no ambiguity between an explicit type and a function
that returns a function pointer. Previously this case needed an explicit
type (eg: a function returning a void() function was written as
"call void () () * @x(" rather than "call void () * @x(" because of the
ambiguity between a function returning a pointer to a void() function
and a function returning void).
No ambiguity means even function pointer return types can just be
written alone, without writing the whole function's type.
This leaves /only/ the varargs case where the explicit type is required.
Given the special type syntax in call instructions, the regex-fu used
for migration was a bit more involved in its own unique way (as every
one of these is) so here it is. Use it in conjunction with the apply.sh
script and associated find/xargs commands I've provided in rr230786 to
migrate your out of tree tests. Do let me know if any of this doesn't
cover your cases & we can iterate on a more general script/regexes to
help others with out of tree tests.
About 9 test cases couldn't be automatically migrated - half of those
were functions returning function pointers, where I just had to manually
delete the function argument types now that we didn't need an explicit
function type there. The other half were typedefs of function types used
in calls - just had to manually drop the * from those.

This is a major rewrite of the SelectionDAG switch lowering. The previous code
would lower switches as a binary tre, discovering clusters of cases
suitable for lowering by jump tables or bit tests as it went along. To increase
the likelihood of finding jump tables, the binary tree pivot was selected to
maximize case density on both sides of the pivot.
By not selecting the pivot in the middle, the binary trees would not always
be balanced, leading to performance problems in the generated code.
This patch rewrites the lowering to search for clusters of cases
suitable for jump tables or bit tests first, and then builds the binary
tree around those clusters. This way, the binary tree will always be balanced.
This has the added benefit of decoupling the different aspects of the lowering:
tree building and jump table or bit tests finding are now easier to tweak
separately.
For example, this will enable us to balance the tree based on profile info
in the future.
The algorithm for finding jump tables is O(n^2), whereas the previous algorithm
was O(n log n) for common cases, and quadratic only in the worst-case. This
doesn't seem to be major problem in practice, e.g. compiling a file consisting
of a 10k-case switch was only 30% slower, and such large switches should be rare
in practice. Compiling e.g. gcc.c showed no compile-time difference. If this
does turn out to be a problem, we could limit the search space of the algorithm.
This commit also disables all optimizations during switch lowering in -O0.

BXJ was incorrectly said to be unsupported in ARMv8-A. It is not
supported in the A64 instruction set, but it is supported in the T32
and A32 instruction sets, because it's listed as an instruction in the

Using SP as an operand to BXJ changed from UNPREDICTABLE to
PREDICTABLE in v8-A. This patch reflects that update as well.
