14b971e075 PrologEpilogInserter: Rewrite API to determine callee save regsiters.
This changes TargetFrameLowering::processFunctionBeforeCalleeSavedScan():

- Rename the function to determineCalleeSaves()
- Pass a bitset of callee saved registers by reference, thus avoiding
  the function-global PhysRegUsed bitset in MachineRegisterInfo.
- Without PhysRegUsed the implementation is fine tuned to not save
  physcial registers which are only read but never modified.

c82cc9dc57 [ShrinkWrap] Add (a simplified version) of shrink-wrapping.
This patch introduces a new pass that computes the safe point to insert the
prologue and epilogue of the function.
The interest is to find safe points that are cheaper than the entry and exits
blocks.

As an example and to avoid regressions to be introduce, this patch also
implements the required bits to enable the shrink-wrapping pass for AArch64.


** Context **

Currently we insert the prologue and epilogue of the method/function in the
entry and exits blocks. Although this is correct, we can do a better job when
those are not immediately required and insert them at less frequently executed
places.
The job of the shrink-wrapping pass is to identify such places.


** Motivating example **

Let us consider the following function that perform a call only in one branch of
a if:
define i32 @f(i32 %a, i32 %b)  {
 %tmp = alloca i32, align 4
 %tmp2 = icmp slt i32 %a, %b
 br i1 %tmp2, label %true, label %false

true:
 store i32 %a, i32* %tmp, align 4
 %tmp4 = call i32 @doSomething(i32 0, i32* %tmp)
 br label %false

false:
 %tmp.0 = phi i32 [ %tmp4, %true ], [ %a, %0 ]
 ret i32 %tmp.0
}

On AArch64 this code generates (removing the cfi directives to ease
readabilities):
_f:                                     ; @f
; BB#0:
  stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
  mov  x29, sp
  sub sp, sp, #16             ; =16
  cmp  w0, w1
  b.ge  LBB0_2
; BB#1:                                 ; %true
  stur  w0, [x29, #-4]
  sub x1, x29, #4             ; =4
  mov  w0, wzr
  bl  _doSomething
LBB0_2:                                 ; %false
  mov  sp, x29
  ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
  ret

With shrink-wrapping we could generate:
_f:                                     ; @f
; BB#0:
  cmp  w0, w1
  b.ge  LBB0_2
; BB#1:                                 ; %true
  stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
  mov  x29, sp
  sub sp, sp, #16             ; =16
  stur  w0, [x29, #-4]
  sub x1, x29, #4             ; =4
  mov  w0, wzr
  bl  _doSomething
  add sp, x29, #16            ; =16
  ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
LBB0_2:                                 ; %false
  ret

Therefore, we would pay the overhead of setting up/destroying the frame only if
we actually do the call.


** Proposed Solution **

This patch introduces a new machine pass that perform the shrink-wrapping
analysis (See the comments at the beginning of ShrinkWrap.cpp for more details).
It then stores the safe save and restore point into the MachineFrameInfo
attached to the MachineFunction.
This information is then used by the PrologEpilogInserter (PEI) to place the
related code at the right place. This pass runs right before the PEI.

Unlike the original paper of Chow from PLDI’88, this implementation of
shrink-wrapping does not use expensive data-flow analysis and does not need hack
to properly avoid frequently executed point. Instead, it relies on dominance and
loop properties.

The pass is off by default and each target can opt-in by setting the
EnableShrinkWrap boolean to true in their derived class of TargetPassConfig.
This setting can also be overwritten on the command line by using
-enable-shrink-wrap.

Before you try out the pass for your target, make sure you properly fix your
emitProlog/emitEpilog/adjustForXXX method to cope with basic blocks that are not
necessarily the entry block.


** Design Decisions **

1. ShrinkWrap is its own pass right now. It could frankly be merged into PEI but
for debugging and clarity I thought it was best to have its own file.
2. Right now, we only support one save point and one restore point. At some
point we can expand this to several save point and restore point, the impacted
component would then be:
- The pass itself: New algorithm needed.
- MachineFrameInfo: Hold a list or set of Save/Restore point instead of one
  pointer.
- PEI: Should loop over the save point and restore point.
Anyhow, at least for this first iteration, I do not believe this is interesting
to support the complex cases. We should revisit that when we motivating
examples.

V1 cover letter:
---------------------
recently linux gained "universal in-kernel virtual machine" which is called
eBPF or extended BPF. The name comes from "Berkeley Packet Filter", since
new instruction set is based on it.
This patch adds a new backend that emits extended BPF instruction set.

The concept and development are covered by the following articles:
http://lwn.net/Articles/599755/
http://lwn.net/Articles/575531/
http://lwn.net/Articles/603983/
http://lwn.net/Articles/606089/
http://lwn.net/Articles/612878/

One of use cases: dtrace/systemtap alternative.

bpf syscall manpage:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b4fc1a460f3017e958e6a8ea560ea0afd91bf6fe

instruction set description and differences vs classic BPF:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/filter.txt

Short summary of instruction set:
- 64-bit registers
  R0      - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for BPF program
  R1 - R5 - arguments from BPF program to in-kernel function
  R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve
  R10     - read-only frame pointer to access stack
- two-operand instructions like +, -, *, mov, load/store
- implicit prologue/epilogue (invisible stack pointer)
- no floating point, no simd

Short history of extended BPF in kernel:
interpreter in 3.15, x64 JIT in 3.16, arm64 JIT, verifier, bpf syscall in 3.18, more to come in the future.

It's a very small and simple backend.
There is no support for global variables, arbitrary function calls, floating point, varargs,
exceptions, indirect jumps, arbitrary pointer arithmetic, alloca, etc.
From C front-end point of view it's very restricted. It's done on purpose, since kernel
rejects all programs that it cannot prove safe. It rejects programs with loops
and with memory accesses via arbitrary pointers. When kernel accepts the program it is
guaranteed that program will terminate and will not crash the kernel.

This patch implements all 'must have' bits. There are several things on TODO list,
so this is not the end of development.
Most of the code is a boiler plate code, copy-pasted from other backends.
Only odd things are lack or < and <= instructions, specialized load_byte intrinsics
and 'compare and goto' as single instruction.
Current instruction set is fixed, but more instructions can be added in the future.
