Pull the `-preserve-ll-uselistorder` bit up through all the callers of
`Module::print()`. I converted callers of `operator<<` to
`Module::print()` where necessary to pull the bit through.
llvm-svn: 234968
Change the callers of `WriteToBitcodeFile()` to pass `true` or
`shouldPreserveBitcodeUseListOrder()` explicitly. I left the callers
that want to send `false` alone.
I'll keep pushing the bit higher until hopefully I can delete the global
`cl::opt` entirely.

Change all the normally relevant output in `verify-uselistorder` from
using `dbgs()` to using `outs()` and `errs()`. Now you don't need
`-debug=uselistorder` to figure out what's going on (or at what stage
verification failed, or to get the paths of the left-behind temporary
files). This is a debugging tool, so I put the logging messages on
`outs()` and the error messages on `errs()`.
I also adjusted the output to be less ***loud***. Not sure why I was so
`*`-happy when I first wrote this.

Unify the error messages for the various tools when `verifyModule()`
fails on an input module. The "brave new way" is:
lltool: path/to/input.ll: error: input module is broken!

Patch by Ben Gamari!
This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute. There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,
1. Function prologue sigils
2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
with a call to some instrumentation facility
3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.
Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.
Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.
The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.
The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

The attached patch simplifies a few interfaces that don't need to take
ownership of a buffer.
For example, both parseAssembly and parseBitcodeFile will parse the
entire buffer before returning. There is no need to take ownership.
Using a MemoryBufferRef makes it obvious in the type signature that
there is no ownership transfer.

Take a StringRef instead of a "const char *".
Take a "std::error_code &" instead of a "std::string &" for error.
A create static method would be even better, but this patch is already a bit too
big.
llvm-svn: 216393
Implement `uselistorder` and `uselistorder_bb` assembly directives,
which allow the use-list order to be recovered when round-tripping to
assembly.
This is the bulk of PR20515.
llvm-svn: 216025
* Use StringRef instead of std::string&
* Return a std::unique_ptr<Module> instead of taking an optional module to write
to (was not really used).
* Use current comment style.
* Use current naming convention.
llvm-svn: 215989
Call `verifyModule()` after parsing and after every transformation.
Also convert some `DEBUG(dbgs())` to `errs()` to increase visibility
into what's going on.
llvm-svn: 215951
Updated `verify-uselistorder` to more than double the number of use-list
orders it checks.
- Every time it verifies an order, it then reverses the order and
verifies again.
- It now verifies the initial order, before running any shuffles.
Changed the default to `-num-shuffles=1`, since this is already four
checks, and after r214584 shuffling is guaranteed to make a new order.
This is part of PR5680.

`shuffleUseLists()` is only used in `verify-uselistorder`, so move it
there to avoid bloating other executables. As a drive-by, update some
of the header docs.
This is part of PR5680.
