This implements the @llvm.readcyclecounter intrinsic as the specific
MRC instruction specified in the ARM manuals for CPUs with the Power
Management extensions.
Older CPUs had slightly different methods which may also have to be
implemented eventually, but this should cover all v7 cases.

Describe that they are assigned numbered label using the same counter
as for unnamed temporaries.
Based on http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=16043 and mailing list
discussion.
Patch by Paul Sokolovsky!

These are two related changes (one in llvm, one in clang).
LLVM:
- rename address_safety => sanitize_address (the enum value is the same, so we preserve binary compatibility with old bitcode)
- rename thread_safety => sanitize_thread
- rename no_uninitialized_checks -> sanitize_memory
CLANG:
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_address)) as a synonym for __attribute__((no_address_safety_analysis))
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_thread))
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_memory))
for S in address thread memory
If -fsanitize=S is present and __attribute__((no_sanitize_S)) is not
set llvm attribute sanitize_S

The 'nobuiltin' attribute is applied to call sites to indicate that LLVM should
not treat the callee function as a built-in function. I.e., it shouldn't try to
replace that function with different code.

Attribute groups are of the form:
#0 = attributes { noinline "no-sse" "cpu"="cortex-a8" alignstack=4 }
Target-dependent attributes are represented as strings. Attributes can have
optional values associated with them. E.g., the "cpu" attribute has the value
"cortex-a8".
Target-independent attributes are listed as enums inside the attribute classes.
Multiple attribute groups can be referenced by the same object. In that case,
the attributes are merged together.

GlobalVariable about LLVM's assumptions vis-a-vis Global Variable
initial values and Global Variable initializers.
This is in preparation for adding the new keyword
externally_initialized.
Specifically, the patch explains how LLVM optimizes global initializers
by assumign that global variables defined within the module are not
modified from their initial values before the start of the global
initializer.

prevent an llvm developer from mistakenly thinking that just because the
intrinsic has volatile flags that volatile operations can be converted
to or folded into them.
Platforms may rely on volatile loads and stores of natively supported
data width to be executed as single instruction. When compiling
C, this expectation likely holds for l-values of volatile primitive
types with native hardware support, but not necessarily for aggregate
types. The frontend upholds these expectations, which are not
specified in the IR.

The requirements of the strong heuristic are:
* A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of
type or length.
* A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which
contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to
the depth of nesting.
* A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack
based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is
taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as
part of a function argument.)

SSPStrong applies a heuristic to insert stack protectors in these situations:
* A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of
type or length.
* A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which
contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to
the depth of nesting.
* A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack
based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is
taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as
part of a function argument.)
This patch implements the SSPString attribute to be equivalent to
SSPRequired. This will change in a subsequent patch.

Similarly inlining of the function is inhibited, if that would duplicate the call (in particular inlining is still allowed when there is only one callsite and the function has internal linkage).

NOTE: If you have any patches in the works that modify LangRef, you will
need to rewrite the changes to LangRef.html to their equivalents in
LangRef.rst. If you need assistance feel free to contact me.
Since LangRef is mission-critical for the project and "normative", I
have taken extra care to ensure that no content was lost or altered in
the conversion. The content was converted with a tool called `pandoc`,
so there is no chance for a human error like accidentally forgetting a
sentence or whatever. After the initial conversion by `pandoc`, only
changes to the markup were done.
This is just the most literal conversion of the HTML document as
possible. It might be worth exploring some way to chop up this massive
document into separate pages, e.g. something like
`docs/LangRef/Instructions.rst`, `docs/LangRef/Intrinsics.rst`, etc.
with `docs/LangRef.rst` being an "intro/navigation page" of sorts. On
the other hand, that loses the ability to {Ctrl,Cmd}-F for a given term
right from your browser.
IMO, I think our stylesheet needs some work because I find it hard to
tell what level of nesting some of the headings are at (e.g. "is this a
new section or is it a subsection?"). The issue is present on other
pages, but the sheer size and deep section structure of LangRef really
brings this issue out. If there are any web designers out there in the
community it would be awesome if you tried to come up with something
nicer.
