patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

With Lit (not bash) in a test, multiple redirects >%t might open(%t, "w") multiple. It can be avoided if latter redirect is >>%t.
It might work even if ">/dev/null" were used.

Try to move spills as early as possible in their basic block. This can
help eliminate interferences by shortening the live range being
spilled.
This fixes PR10221.

The normal tBX instruction is predicable, so there's no reason the
pseudos for using it as a return shouldn't be. Gives us some nice code-gen
improvements as can be seen by the test changes. In particular, several
tests now have to disable if-conversion because it works too well and defeats
the test.

RAGreedy::tryAssign will now evict interference from the preferred
register even when another register is free.
To support this, add the EvictionCost struct that counts how many hints
are broken by an eviction. We don't want to break one hint just to
satisfy another.
Rename canEvict to shouldEvict, and add the first bit of eviction policy
that doesn't depend on spill weights: Always make room in the preferred
register as long as the evictees can be split and aren't already
assigned to their preferred register.
Also make the CSR avoidance more accurate. When looking for a cheaper
register it is OK to use a new volatile register. Only CSR aliases that
have never been used before should be avoided.

We have to do this in DAGBuilder instead of DAGCombiner, because the exact bit is lost after building.
struct foo { char x[24]; };
long bar(struct foo *a, struct foo *b) { return a-b; }
is now compiled into
movl 4(%esp), %eax
subl 8(%esp), %eax
sarl $3, %eax
imull $-1431655765, %eax, %eax
instead of
movl 4(%esp), %eax
subl 8(%esp), %eax
movl $715827883, %ecx
imull %ecx
movl %edx, %eax
shrl $31, %eax
sarl $2, %edx
addl %eax, %edx
movl %edx, %eax

It was testing a linear scan feature:
Test if linearscan is unfavoring registers for allocation to allow
more reuse of reloads from stack slots.
The greedy register allocator doesn't access any stack slots in this
function, so the linear scan feature was not being tested.

The promotion code lost any alignment information, when hoisting loads and
stores out of the loop. This lead to incorrect aligned memory accesses. We now
use the largest alignment we can prove to be correct.

Remat during spilling triggers dead code elimination. If a phi-def
becomes unused, that may also cause live ranges to split into separate
connected components.
This type of splitting is different from normal live range splitting. In
particular, there may not be a common original interval.
When the split range is its own original, make sure that the new
siblings are also their own originals. The range being split cannot be
used as an original since it doesn't cover the new siblings.

outside the loop and reducible.
This more completely hides them from LSR, which isn't usually able to
do anything meaningful with non-affine expressions anyway, and this
consequently hides them from SCEVExpander, which is acutely unprepared
for non-affine expressions.
Replace test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-nonaffine.ll with a new test that tests
the new behavior.
This works around the bug in PR10117 / rdar://problem/9633149, and is
generally an improvement besides.

The DSP instructions in the Thumb2 instruction set are an optional extension
in the Cortex-M* archtitecture. When present, the implementation is considered
an "ARMv7E-M implementation," and when not, an "ARMv7-M implementation."
Add a subtarget feature hook for the v7e-m instructions and hook it up. The
cortex-m3 cpu is an example of a v7m implementation, while the cortex-m4 is
a v7e-m implementation.

Fix a FIXME and allow predication (in Thumb2) for the T1 register to
register MOV instructions. This allows some better codegen with
if-conversion (as seen in the test updates), plus it lays the groundwork
for pseudo-izing the tMOVCC instructions.

It's just a t2LDMIA_UPD instruction with extra codegen properties, so it
doesn't need the encoding information. As a side-benefit, we now correctly
recognize for instruction printing as a 'pop' instruction.
llvm-svn: 134173
already makes the assumption, which is correct on ARM, that a type's alignment is
less than its alloc size. This improves codegen with Clang (which inserts a lot of
extraneous alignment specifiers) and fixes <rdar://problem/9695089>.

For example, ".byte 256" would previously assert() when emitting an object
file. Now it generates a diagnostic that the literal value is out of range.

Drop the FpMov instructions, use plain COPY instead.
Drop the FpSET/GET instruction for accessing fixed stack positions.
Instead use normal COPY to/from ST registers around inline assembly, and
provide a single new FpPOP_RETVAL instruction that can access the return
value(s) from a call. This is still necessary since you cannot tell from
the CALL instruction alone if it returns anything on the FP stack. Teach
fast isel to use this.
This provides a much more robust way of handling fixed stack registers -
we can tolerate arbitrary FP stack instructions inserted around calls
and inline assembly. Live range splitting could sometimes break x87 code
by inserting spill code in unfortunate places.
As a bonus we handle floating point inline assembly correctly now.
