In some cases it is desirable to match the same pattern repeatedly
many times. Currently the only way to do it is to copy the same
check pattern as many times as needed. And that gets pretty unwieldy
when its more than count is big.
Introducing CHECK-COUNT-<num> directive which acts like a plain CHECK
directive yet matches the same pattern exactly <num> times.
Extended FileCheckType to a struct to add Count there.
Changed some parsing routines to handle non-fixed length of directive
(all currently existing directives were fixed-length).
The code is generic enough to allow future support for COUNT in more
than just PlainCheck directives.
See motivating example for this feature in reviews.llvm.org/D54223.

Summary:
lcov tracefiles are used by various coverage reporting tools and build
systems (e.g., Bazel). It is a simple text-based format to parse and
more convenient to use than the JSON export format, which needs
additional processing to map regions/segments back to line numbers.
It's a little unfortunate that "text" format is now overloaded to refer
specifically to JSON for export, but I wanted to avoid making any
breaking changes to the UI of the llvm-cov tool at this time.

(Relands r344930, reverted in r344935, and now hopefully fixed for

While this change specifically targets FileCheck, it affects any tool
using the same SourceMgr facilities.
Previously, -color was documented in FileCheck's -help output, but
-color had no effect. Now, -color obeys its documentation: it forces
colors to be used in FileCheck diagnostics even when stderr is not a
terminal.
-color is especially helpful when combined with FileCheck's -v, which
can produce a long series of diagnostics that you might wish to pipe
to a pager, such as less -R. The WithColor extensions here will also
help to clean up color usage in FileCheck's annotated dump of input,

This patch introduces the following changes to the DispatchStatistics view:
* DispatchStatistics now reports the number of dispatched opcodes instead of
the number of dispatched instructions.
* The "Dynamic Dispatch Stall Cycles" table now also reports the percentage of
stall cycles against the total simulated cycles.
This change allows users to easily compare dispatch group sizes with the
processor DispatchWidth.
Before this change, it was difficult to correlate the two numbers, since
DispatchStatistics view reported numbers of instructions (instead of opcodes).
DispatchWidth defines the maximum size of a dispatch group in terms of number of
micro opcodes.
The other change introduced by this patch is related to how DispatchStage
generates "instruction dispatch" events.
In particular:
* There can be multiple dispatch events associated with a same instruction
* Each dispatch event now encapsulates the number of dispatched micro opcodes.
The number of micro opcodes declared by an instruction may exceed the processor
DispatchWidth. Therefore, we cannot assume that instructions are always fully
dispatched in a single cycle.
DispatchStage knows already how to handle instructions declaring a number of
opcodes bigger that DispatchWidth. However, DispatchStage always emitted a
single instruction dispatch event (during the first simulated dispatch cycle)
for instructions dispatched.
With this patch, DispatchStage now correctly notifies multiple dispatch events
for instructions that cannot be dispatched in a single cycle.
A few views had to be modified. Views can no longer assume that there can only
be one dispatch event per instruction.
Tests (and docs) have been updated.

This adds the plumbing for the Tiny code model for the AArch64 backend. This,
instead of loading addresses through the normal ADRP;ADD pair used in the Small
model, uses a single ADR. The 21 bit range of an ADR means that the code and
its statically defined symbols need to be within 1MB of each other.
This makes it mostly interesting for embedded applications where we want to fit
as much as we can in as small a space as possible.

The aim of this backend is to output everything TableGen knows about
the record set, similarly to the default -print-records backend. But
where -print-records produces output in TableGen's input syntax
(convenient for humans to read), this backend produces it as
structured JSON data, which is convenient for loading into standard
scripting languages such as Python, in order to extract information
from the data set in an automated way.
The output data contains a JSON representation of the variable
definitions in output 'def' records, and a few pieces of metadata such
as which of those definitions are tagged with the 'field' prefix and
which defs are derived from which classes. It doesn't dump out
absolutely every piece of knowledge it _could_ produce, such as type
information and complicated arithmetic operator nodes in abstract
superclasses; the main aim is to allow consumers of this JSON dump to
essentially act as new backends, and backends don't generally need to
depend on that kind of data.
The new backend is implemented as an EmitJSON() function similar to
all of llvm-tblgen's other EmitFoo functions, except that it lives in
lib/TableGen instead of utils/TableGen on the basis that I'm expecting
to add it to clang-tblgen too in a future patch.
To test it, I've written a Python script that loads the JSON output
and tests properties of it based on comments in the .td source - more
or less like FileCheck, except that the CHECK: lines have Python
expressions after them instead of textual pattern matches.

Prior to this change, there was no clean way of getting FileCheck to
check that a line is completely empty. The expected way of using
"CHECK: {{^$}}" does not work because the '^' matches the end of the
previous match (this behaviour may be desirable in certain instances).
For the same reason, "CHECK-NEXT: {{^$}}" will fail when the previous
match was at the end of the line, as the pattern will match there.
Using the recommended [[:space:]] to match an explicit new line could
also match a space, and thus is not always desired. Literal '\n'
matches also do not work. A workaround was suggested in the review, but
it is a little clunky.
This change adds a new directive that behaves the same as CHECK-NEXT,
except that it only matches against empty lines (nothing, not even
whitespace, is allowed). As with CHECK-NEXT, it will fail if more than
one newline occurs before the next blank line. Example usage:
; test.txt
foo
bar
; CHECK: foo
; CHECK-EMPTY:
; CHECK-NEXT: bar

When debugging test failures with -vv (or -v in the case of the

lines, and clang's test/Driver/arm-cortex-cpus.c has 424 RUN lines

When reading the generated shell script, this also makes it easier to

of "echo off" in bat files. (Support for windows cmd.exe as a lit
