The Win64 unwinder disassembles forwards from each PC to try to
determine if this PC is in an epilogue. If so, it skips calling the EH
personality function for that frame. Typically, this means you cannot
catch an exception in the same frame that you threw it, because 'throw'
calls a noreturn runtime function.
Previously we avoided this problem with the TrapUnreachable
TargetOption, but that's a much bigger hammer than we need. All we need
is a 1 byte non-epilogue instruction right after the call. Instead,
what we got was an unconditional branch to a shared block containing the
ud2, potentially 7 bytes instead of 1. So, this reverts r206684, which
added TrapUnreachable, and replaces it with something better.
The new code pattern matches for invoke/call followed by unreachable and
inserts an int3 into the DAG. To be 100% watertight, we would need to
insert SEH_Epilogue instructions into all basic blocks ending in a call
with no terminators or successors, but in practice this is unlikely to
come up.

Win64 stack unwinder gets confused when execution flow "falls through" after
a call to 'noreturn' function. This fixes the "missing epilogue" problem by
emitting a trap instruction for IR 'unreachable' on x86_x64-pc-windows.
A secondary use for it would be for anyone wanting to make double-sure that
'noreturn' functions, indeed, do not return.

When replacing Old with New, it can happen that New is already a
successor. Add the old and new edge weights instead of creating a
duplicate edge.

both fallthrough and a conditional branch target the same successor.
Gracefully delete the conditional branch and introduce any unconditional
branch needed to reach the actual successor. This fixes memory
corruption in 2009-06-15-RegScavengerAssert.ll and possibly other tests.
Also, while I'm here fix a latent bug I spotted by inspection. I never
applied the same fundamental fix to this fallthrough successor finding
logic that I did to the logic used when there are no conditional
branches. As a consequence it would have selected landing pads had they
be aligned in just the right way here. I don't have a test case as
I spotted this by inspection, and the previous time I found this
required have of TableGen's source code to produce it. =/ I hate backend
bugs. ;]
Thanks to Jim Grosbach for helping me reason through this and reviewing
the fix.

This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.
