These heuristics are sufficient for enabling IV chains by
default. Performance analysis has been done for i386, x86_64, and
thumbv7. The optimization is rarely important, but can significantly
speed up certain cases by eliminating spill code within the
loop. Unrolled loops are prime candidates for IV chains. In many
cases, the final code could still be improved with more target
specific optimization following LSR. The goal of this feature is for
LSR to make the best choice of induction variables.
Instruction selection may not completely take advantage of this
feature yet. As a result, there could be cases of slight code size
increase.
Code size can be worse on x86 because it doesn't support postincrement
addressing. In fact, when chains are formed, you may see redundant
address plus stride addition in the addressing mode. GenerateIVChains
tries to compensate for the common cases.
On ARM, code size increase can be mitigated by using postincrement
addressing, but downstream codegen currently misses some opportunities.

file error checking. Use that to error on an unfinished cfi_startproc.
The error is not nice, but is already better than a segmentation fault.

opportunities that only present themselves after late optimizations
such as tail duplication .e.g.
## BB#1:
movl %eax, %ecx
movl %ecx, %eax
ret
The register allocator also leaves some of them around (due to false
dep between copies from phi-elimination, etc.)
This required some changes in codegen passes. Post-ra scheduler and the
pseudo-instruction expansion passes have been moved after branch folding
and tail merging. They were before branch folding before because it did
not always update block livein's. That's fixed now. The pass change makes
independently since we want to properly schedule instructions after
branch folding / tail duplication.

The register allocators don't currently support adding reserved
registers while they are running. Extend the MRI API to keep track of
the set of reserved registers when register allocation started.
Target hooks like hasFP() and needsStackRealignment() can look at this
set to avoid reserving more registers during register allocation.

Using DenseMap iterators isn't free as they have to check for empty
buckets. Dominator queries are common so this gives a minor speedup.

Get back getHostTriple.
For JIT compilation, use the host triple instead of the default
target: this fixes some JIT testcases that used to fail when the
compiler has been configured as a cross compiler.

captured. This allows the tracker to look at the specific use, which may be
especially interesting for function calls.
Use this to fix 'nocapture' deduction in FunctionAttrs. The existing one does
not iterate until a fixpoint and does not guarantee that it produces the same
result regardless of iteration order. The new implementation builds up a graph
of how arguments are passed from function to function, and uses a bottom-up walk
on the argument-SCCs to assign nocapture. This gets us nocapture more often, and
does so rather efficiently and independent of iteration order.

Diagnostics are now emitted via the SourceMgr and we use MemoryBuffer
for buffer management. Switched the code to make use of the trailing
'0' that MemoryBuffer guarantees where it makes sense.
