properly account for the *global* probability of the edge being taken.
This manifested as a very large number of unconditional branches to
blocks being merged against the CFG even though they weren't
particularly hot within the CFG.
The fix is to check whether the edge being merged is both locally hot
relative to other successors for the source block, and globally hot
compared to other (unmerged) predecessors of the destination block.
This introduces a new crasher on GCC single-source, but it's currently
behind a flag, and Ben has offered to work on the reduction. =]

is actually being tested. Also add some FileCheck goodness to much more
carefully ensure that the result is the desired result. Before this test
would only have failed through an assert failure if the underlying fix
were reverted.
Also, add some weight metadata and a comment explaining exactly what is
going on to a trick section of the test case. Originally, we were
getting very unlucky and trying to form a block chain that isn't
actually profitable. I'm working on a fix to avoid forming these
unprofitable chains, and that would also have masked any failure from
this test case. The easy solution is to add some metadata that makes it
*really* profitable to form the bad chain here.

formation phase and into the initial walk of the basic blocks. We
essentially pre-merge all blocks where unanalyzable fallthrough exists,
as we won't be able to update the terminators effectively after any
reorderings. This is quite a bit more principled as there may be CFGs
where the second half of the unanalyzable pair has some analyzable
predecessor that gets placed first. Then it may get placed next,
implicitly breaking the unanalyzable branch even though we never even
looked at the part that isn't analyzable. I've included a test case that
triggers this (thanks Benjamin yet again!), and I'm hoping to synthesize
some more general ones as I dig into related issues.
Also, to make this new scheme work we have to be able to handle branches
into the middle of a chain, so add this check. We always fallback on the
incoming ordering.
Finally, this starts to really underscore a known limitation of the
current implementation -- we don't consider broken predecessors when
merging successors. This can caused major missed opportunities, and is
something I'm planning on looking at next (modulo more bug reports).

ADDs. MaxOffs is used as a threshold to limit the size of the offset. Tradeoffs
being: (1) If we can't materialize the large constant then we'll cause fast-isel
to bail. (2) Too large of an offset can't be directly encoded in the ADD
resulting in a MOV+ADD. Generally not a bad thing because otherwise we would
have had ADD+ADD, but on Thumb this turns into a MOVS+MOVT+ADD. Working on a fix
for that. (3) Conversely, too low of a threshold we'll miss opportunities to
coalesce ADDs.

has a reference to it. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for codegen passes
since we don't get notified of MBB's being deleted (the original BB stays).
Use that fact to our advantage and after printing a function, check if
any of the IL BBs corresponds to a symbol that was not printed. This fixes
pr11202.

block sequence when recovering from unanalyzable control flow
constructs, *always* use the function sequence. I'm not sure why I ever
went down the path of trying to use the loop sequence, it is
fundamentally not the correct sequence to use. We're trying to preserve
the incoming layout in the cases of unreasonable control flow, and that
is only encoded at the function level. We already have a filter to
select *exactly* the sub-set of blocks within the function that we're
trying to form into a chain.
The resulting code layout is also significantly better because of this.
In several places we were ending up with completely unreasonable control
flow constructs due to the ordering chosen by the loop structure for its
internal storage. This change removes a completely wasteful vector of
basic blocks, saving memory allocation in the common case even though it
costs us CPU in the fairly rare case of unnatural loops. Finally, it
fixes the latest crasher reduced out of GCC's single source. Thanks
again to Benjamin Kramer for the reduction, my bugpoint skills failed at
it.

Two new TargetInstrInfo hooks lets the target tell ExecutionDepsFix
about instructions with partial register updates causing false unwanted
dependencies.
The ExecutionDepsFix pass will break the false dependencies if the
updated register was written in the previoius N instructions.
The small loop added to sse-domains.ll runs twice as fast with
dependency-breaking instructions inserted.

This fixes the few regressions introduced when the two-address hack was

the sum of the edge weights not overflowing uint32, and crashed when
they did. This is generally safe as BranchProbabilityInfo tries to
provide this guarantee. However, the CFG can get modified during codegen
in a way that grows the *sum* of the edge weights. This doesn't seem
unreasonable (imagine just adding more blocks all with the default
weight of 16), but it is hard to come up with a case that actually
triggers 32-bit overflow. Fortuately, the single-source GCC build is
good at this. The solution isn't very pretty, but its no worse than the
previous code. We're already summing all of the edge weights on each
query, we can sum them, check for an overflow, compute a scale, and sum
them again.
I've included a *greatly* reduced test case out of the GCC source that
triggers it. It's a pretty lame test, as it clearly is just barely
triggering the overflow. I'd like to have something that is much more
definitive, but I don't understand the fundamental pattern that triggers
an explosion in the edge weight sums.
The buggy code is duplicated within this file. I'll colapse them into
a single implementation in a subsequent commit.

get loop info structures associated with them, and so we need some way
to make forward progress selecting and placing basic blocks. The
technique used here is pretty brutal -- it just scans the list of blocks
looking for the first unplaced candidate. It keeps placing blocks like
this until the CFG becomes tractable.
The cost is somewhat unfortunate, it requires allocating a vector of all
basic block pointers eagerly. I have some ideas about how to simplify
and optimize this, but I'm trying to get the logic correct first.
Thanks to Benjamin Kramer for the reduced test case out of GCC. Sadly
there are other bugs that GCC is tickling that I'm reducing and working
on now.

second algorithm, but only loosely. It is more heavily based on the last
discussion I had with Andy. It continues to walk from the inner-most
loop outward, but there is a key difference. With this algorithm we
ensure that as we visit each loop, the entire loop is merged into
a single chain. At the end, the entire function is treated as a "loop",
and merged into a single chain. This chain forms the desired sequence of
blocks within the function. Switching to a single algorithm removes my
biggest problem with the previous approaches -- they had different
behavior depending on which system triggered the layout. Now there is
exactly one algorithm and one basis for the decision making.
The other key difference is how the chain is formed. This is based
heavily on the idea Andy mentioned of keeping a worklist of blocks that
are viable layout successors based on the CFG. Having this set allows us
to consistently select the best layout successor for each block. It is
expensive though.
The code here remains very rough. There is a lot that needs to be done
to clean up the code, and to make the runtime cost of this pass much
lower. Very much WIP, but this was a giant chunk of code and I'd rather
folks see it sooner than later. Everything remains behind a flag of
course.
I've added a couple of tests to exercise the issues that this iteration
was motivated by: loop structure preservation. I've also fixed one test
that was exhibiting the broken behavior of the previous version.

SimplifyAddress to handle either a 12-bit unsigned offset or the ARM +/-imm8
offsets (addressing mode 3). This enables a load followed by an integer
extend to be folded into a single load.

uxtb r2, r1 =>
mov r3, r2 mov r3, r1
