Summary:
Local values are constants, global addresses, and stack addresses that
can't be folded into the instruction that uses them. For example, when
storing the address of a global variable into memory, we need to
materialize that address into a register.
FastISel doesn't want to materialize any given local value more than
once, so it generates all local value materialization code at
EmitStartPt, which always dominates the current insertion point. This
allows it to maintain a map of local value registers, and it knows that
the local value area will always dominate the current insertion point.
The downside is that local value instructions are always emitted without
a source location. This is done to prevent jumpy line tables, but it
means that the local value area will be considered part of the previous
statement. Consider this C code:
call1(); // line 1
++global; // line 2
++global; // line 3
call2(&global, &local); // line 4
Today we end up with assembly and line tables like this:
.loc 1 1
callq call1
leaq global(%rip), %rdi
leaq local(%rsp), %rsi
.loc 1 2
addq $1, global(%rip)
.loc 1 3
addq $1, global(%rip)
.loc 1 4
callq call2
The LEA instructions in the local value area have no source location and
are treated as being on line 1. Stepping through the code in a debugger
and correlating it with the assembly won't make much sense, because
these materializations are only required for line 4.
This is actually problematic for the VS debugger "set next statement"
feature, which effectively assumes that there are no registers live
across statement boundaries. By sinking the local value code into the
statement and fixing up the source location, we can make that feature
work. This was filed as https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35975 and
https://crbug.com/793819.
This change is obviously not enough to make this feature work reliably
in all cases, but I felt that it was worth doing anyway because it
usually generates smaller, more comprehensible -O0 code. I measured a
0.12% regression in code generation time with LLC on the sqlite3
amalgamation, so I think this is worth doing.
There are some special cases worth calling out in the commit message:
1. local values materialized for phis
2. local values used by no-op casts
3. dead local value code
Local values can be materialized for phis, and this does not show up as
a vreg use in MachineRegisterInfo. In this case, if there are no other
uses, this patch sinks the value to the first terminator, EH label, or
the end of the BB if nothing else exists.
Local values may also be used by no-op casts, which adds the register to
the RegFixups table. Without reversing the RegFixups map direction, we
don't have enough information to sink these instructions.
Lastly, if the local value register has no other uses, we can delete it.
This comes up when fastisel tries two instruction selection approaches
and the first materializes the value but fails and the second succeeds
without using the local value.

Tests updated to explicitly use fast-isel at -O0 instead of implicitly.
This change also allows an explicit -fast-isel option to override an
implicitly enabled global-isel. Otherwise -fast-isel would have no effect at -O0.

The backend has been around for years, it's pretty ridiculous that we can't
even use the preferred form for printing "MOV" aliases. Unfortunately, TableGen
can't handle the complex predicates when printing so it's a bunch of nasty C++.
Oh well.

Most immediates are printed in Aarch64InstPrinter using 'formatImm' macro,
but not all of them.
Implementation contains following rules:
- floating point immediates are always printed as decimal
- signed integer immediates are printed depends on flag settings
(for negative values 'formatImm' macro prints the value as i.e -0x01
which may be convenient when imm is an address or offset)
- logical immediates are always printed as hex
- the 64-bit immediate for advSIMD, encoded in "a🅱️c:d:e:f:g:h" is always printed as hex
- the 64-bit immedaite in exception generation instructions like:
brk, dcps1, dcps2, dcps3, hlt, hvc, smc, svc is always printed as hex
- the rest of immediates is printed depends on availability
of -print-imm-hex

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

Summary:
Currently fast-isel-abort will only abort for regular instructions,
and just warn for function calls, terminators, function arguments.
There is already fast-isel-abort-args but nothing for calls and
terminators.
This change turns the fast-isel-abort options into an integer option,
so that multiple levels of strictness can be defined.
This will help no being surprised when the "abort" option indeed does
not abort, and enables the possibility to write test that verifies
that no intrinsics are forgotten by fast-isel.

There is already target-dependent instruction selection support for Adds/Subs to
support compares and the intrinsics with overflow check. This takes advantage of
the existing infrastructure to also support Add/Sub, which allows the folding of
immediates, sign-/zero-extends, and shifts.
This fixes rdar://problem/18207316.

This is mostly achieved by providing the correct register class manually,
because getRegClassFor always returns the GPR*AllRegClass for MVT::i32 and
MVT::i64.
Also cleanup the code to use the FastEmitInst_* method whenever possible. This
makes sure that the operands' register class is properly constrained. For all
the remaining cases this adds the missing constrainOperandRegClass calls for
each operand.

This commit starts with a "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and continues out
from there, renaming the C++ classes, intrinsics, and other
target-local objects for consistency.
"ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their
life in ARM64 use an arm64 triple, those from AArch64 use an aarch64
triple. Both should be equivalent though.
This finishes the AArch64 merge, and everyone should feel free to
continue committing as normal now.
