state. Previously Thumb2 would restore sp from fp like this:
mov sp, r7
sub, sp, #4
If an interrupt is taken after the 'mov' but before the 'sub', callee-saved
registers might be clobbered by the interrupt handler. Instead, try
restoring directly from sp:
add sp, #4
Or, if necessary (with VLA, etc.) use a scratch register to compute sp and
then restore it:
sub.w r4, r7, #8
mov sp, r7

instructions explicit and allows us to assign scheduling itineraries
appropriately. rdar://8477752

instructions. This gives us the ability to, among other things, assign
different scheduling itineraries to the variants. rdar://8477752.

between the high and low registers for prologue/epilogue code. This was
a Darwin-only thing that wasn't providing a realistic benefit anymore.
Combining the save areas simplifies the compiler code and results in better
ARM/Thumb2 codegen.
For example, previously we would generate code like:
push {r4, r5, r6, r7, lr}
add r7, sp, #12
stmdb sp!, {r8, r10, r11}
With this change, we combine the register saves and generate:
push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r10, r11, lr}
add r7, sp, #12

For anything bigger than this, we may want a means to have a small support
library for shared helper functions like this. Cross that bridge when we
come to it.

"For ARM stack frames that utilize variable sized objects and have either
large local stack areas or require dynamic stack realignment, allocate a
base register via which to access the local frame. This allows efficient
access to frame indices not accessible via the FP (either due to being out
of range or due to dynamic realignment) or the SP (due to variable sized
object allocation). In particular, this greatly improves efficiency of access
to spill slots in Thumb functions which contain VLAs."
r112986 fixed a latent bug exposed by the above.

alignment should be performed. Otherwise dynamic realignment may trigger
when the register allocator has already used the frame pointer as a general
purpose register. That is, we need to make sure that the list of reserved
registers doesn't change after register allocation.

Nothing fancy, just ask the target if any currently available base reg
is in range for the instruction under consideration and use the first one
that is. Placeholder ARM implementation simply returns false for now.

the local block. Resolve references to those indices to a new base register.
For simplification and testing purposes, a new virtual base register is
allocated for each frame index being resolved. The result is truly horrible,
but correct, code that's good for exercising the new code paths.
Next up is adding thumb1 support, which should be very simple. Following that
will be adding base register re-use and implementing a reasonable ARM
heuristic for when a virtual base register should be generated at all.

whether to allocate a virtual frame base register to resolve the frame
index reference in it. Implement a simple version for ARM to aid debugging.
In LocalStackSlotAllocation, scan the function for frame index references
to local frame indices and ask the target whether to allocate virtual
frame base registers for any it encounters. Purely infrastructural for
debug output. Next step is to actually allocate base registers, then add
intelligent re-use of them.

Also added a test case to check for the added benefit of this patch: it's optimizing away the unnecessary restore of sp from fp for some non-leaf functions.
