According to Intel Software Optimization Manual
on Silvermont INC or DEC instructions require
an additional uop to merge the flags.
As a result, a branch instruction depending
on an INC or a DEC instruction incurs a 1 cycle penalty.

According to Intel Software Optimization Manual on Silvermont in some cases LEA
is better to be replaced with ADD instructions:
"The rule of thumb for ADDs and LEAs is that it is justified to use LEA
with a valid index and/or displacement for non-destructive destination purposes
(especially useful for stack offset cases), or to use a SCALE.
Otherwise, ADD(s) are preferable."

default architecture for reasonable modern x86 processors, actually be
modern. This processor model should essentially be "tuned" for modern
x86 chips as much as possible without undue penalties on any specific
architecture. Previously we weren't even using the nice scheduling
models. There are a few other tweaks needed here, but this change at
least I have benchmarked across a decent swatch of chips (intel's
clovertown, westmere, and sandybridge; amd's istanbul) and seen no
significant regressions.
If anyone has suggested ways to test this, just let me know. Somewhat
alarmingly, no existing tests failed.

This is not really expected to work right yet. Mostly because we will
still emit the OpSize (0x66) prefix in all the wrong places, along with
a number of other corner cases. Those will all be fixed in the subsequent
commits.

AMD's processors family K7, K8, K10, K12, K15 and K16 are known to have SHLD/SHRD instructions with very poor latency. Optimization guides for these processors recommend using an alternative sequence of instructions. For these AMD's processors, I disabled folding (or (x << c) | (y >> (64 - c))) when we are not optimizing for size.
It might be beneficial to disable this folding for some of the Intel's processors. However, since I couldn't find specific recommendations regarding using SHLD/SHRD instructions on Intel's processors, I haven't disabled this peephole for Intel.

indirect through a memory address is to load the memory address into
a register and then call indirect through the register.
This patch implements this improvement by modifying SelectionDAG to
force a function address which is a memory reference to be loaded
into a virtual register.

All Intel CPUs since Yonah look a lot alike, at least at the granularity
of the scheduling models. We can add more accurate models for
processors that aren't Sandy Bridge if required. Haswell will probably
need its own.
The Atom processor and anything based on NetBurst is completely
different. So are the non-Intel chips.

The current Intel Atom microarchitecture has a feature whereby
when a function returns early then it is slightly faster to execute
a sequence of NOP instructions to wait until the return address is ready,
as opposed to simply stalling on the ret instruction until
the return address is ready.
When compiling for X86 Atom only, this patch will run a pass,
called "X86PadShortFunction" which will add NOP instructions where less
than four cycles elapse between function entry and return.
It includes tests.
This patch has been updated to address Nadav's review comments
- Optimize only at >= O1 and don't do optimization if -Os is set
- Stores MachineBasicBlock* instead of BBNum
- Uses DenseMap instead of std::map
- Fixes placement of braces

Not all chips targeted by x86_64 have this feature, but a dramatically
increasing number do. Specifying a chip-specific tuning parameter will
continue to turn the feature on or off as appropriate for that
particular chip, but the generic flag should try to achieve the best
performance on the most widely available hardware. Today, the number of
chips with fast UA access dwarfs those without in the x86-64 space.
Note that this also brings LLVM's code generation for this '-march' flag
more in line with that of modern GCCs. Reviewed by Dan Gohman.

Intel chips.
The model number rules were determined by inspecting Intel's
documentation for their newer chip model numbers. My understanding is
that all of the newer Intel chips have fast unaligned memory access, but
if anyone is concerned about a particular chip, just shout.
No tests updated; it's not clear we have dedicated tests for the chips'
various features, but if anyone would like tests (or can point me at
some existing ones), I'm happy to oblige.

- CodeGenPrepare pass for identifying div/rem ops
- Backend specifies the type mapping using addBypassSlowDivType
- Enabled only for Intel Atom with O2 32-bit -> 8-bit
- Replace IDIV with instructions which test its value and use DIVB if the value
is positive and less than 256.
- In the case when the quotient and remainder of a divide are used a DIV
and a REM instruction will be present in the IR. In the non-Atom case
they are both lowered to IDIVs and CSE removes the redundant IDIV instruction,
using the quotient and remainder from the first IDIV. However,
due to this optimization CSE is not able to eliminate redundant
IDIV instructions because they are located in different basic blocks.
This is overcome by calculating both the quotient (DIV) and remainder (REM)
in each basic block that is inserted by the optimization and reusing the result
values when a subsequent DIV or REM instruction uses the same operands.
- Test cases check for the presents of the optimization when calculating
either the quotient, remainder, or both.

subtarget CPU descriptions and support new features of
MachineScheduler.
MachineModel has three categories of data:
1) Basic properties for coarse grained instruction cost model.
2) Scheduler Read/Write resources for simple per-opcode and operand cost model (TBD).
3) Instruction itineraties for detailed per-cycle reservation tables.
These will all live side-by-side. Any subtarget can use any
combination of them. Instruction itineraries will not change in the
near term. In the long run, I expect them to only be relevant for
in-order VLIW machines that have complex contraints and require a
precise scheduling/bundling model. Once itineraries are only actively
used by VLIW-ish targets, they could be replaced by something more
appropriate for those targets.
This tablegen backend rewrite sets things up for introducing
MachineModel type #2: per opcode/operand cost model.
