This was done through the aid of a terrible Perl creation. I will not
paste any of the horrors here. Suffice to say, it require multiple
staged rounds of replacements, state carried between, and a few
nested-construct-parsing hacks that I'm not proud of. It happens, by
luck, to be able to deal with all the TCL-quoting patterns in evidence
in the LLVM test suite.
If anyone is maintaining large out-of-tree test trees, feel free to poke
me and I'll send you the steps I used to convert things, as well as
answer any painful questions etc. IRC works best for this type of thing
I find.
Once converted, switch the LLVM lit config to use ShTests the same as
Clang. In addition to being able to delete large amounts of Python code
from 'lit', this will also simplify the entire test suite and some of
lit's architecture.
Finally, the test suite runs 33% faster on Linux now. ;]

testcases accordingly. Some are currently xfailed and will be filed
as bugs to be fixed or understood.
Performance results:
roughly neutral on SPEC
some micro benchmarks in the llvm suite are up between 100 and 150%, only
a pair of regressions that are due to be investigated
john-the-ripper saw:
10% improvement in traditional DES
8% improvement in BSDI DES
59% improvement in FreeBSD MD5
67% improvement in OpenBSD Blowfish
14% improvement in LM DES
Small compile time impact.

happening.
Enhance scheduling to set the DEAD flag on implicit defs
more aggressively. Before, we'd set an implicit def operand
to dead if it were present in the SDNode corresponding to
the machineinstr but had no use. Now we do it in this case
AND if the implicit def does not exist in the SDNode at all.
This exposes a couple of problems: one is the FIXME, which
causes a live intervals crash on CodeGen/X86/sibcall.ll.
The second is that it makes machinecse and licm more
aggressive (which is a good thing) but also exposes a case
where licm hoists a set0 and then it doesn't get resunk.
Talking to codegen folks about both these issues, but I need
this patch in in the meantime.
