BBVectorize would, except for loads and stores, always fuse instructions
so that the first instruction (in the current source order) would always
represent the low part of the input vectors and the second instruction
would always represent the high part. This lead to too many shuffles
being produced because sometimes the opposite order produces fewer of them.
With this change, BBVectorize tracks the kind of pair connections that form
the DAG of candidate pairs, and uses that information to reorder the pairs to
avoid excess shuffles. Using this information, a future commit will be able
to add VTTI-based shuffle costs to the pair selection procedure. Importantly,
the number of remaining shuffles can now be estimated during pair selection.
There are some trivial instruction reorderings in the test cases, and one
simple additional test where we certainly want to do a reordering to
avoid an unnecessary shuffle.

By propagating the value for the switch condition, LLVM can now build
lookup tables for code such as:
switch (x) {
case 1: return 5;
case 2: return 42;
case 3: case 4: case 5:
return x - 123;
default:
return 123;
}
Given that x is known for each case, "x - 123" becomes a constant for
cases 3, 4, and 5.

parameters. Examples of these are:
struct { } a;
union { } b[256];
int a[0];
An empty aggregate has an address, although dereferencing that address is
pointless. When passed as a parameter, an empty aggregate does not consume
a protocol register, nor does it consume a doubleword in the parameter save
area. Passing an empty aggregate by reference passes an address just as
for any other aggregate. Returning an empty aggregate uses GPR3 as a hidden
address of the return value location, just as for any other aggregate.
The patch modifies PPCTargetLowering::LowerFormalArguments_64SVR4 and
PPCTargetLowering::LowerCall_64SVR4 to properly skip empty aggregate
parameters passed by value. The handling of return values and by-reference
parameters was already correct.
Built on powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu and tested with no new regressions.
A test case is included to test proper handling of empty aggregate
parameters on both sides of the function call protocol.

This patch migrates the stpcpy optimizations from the simplify-libcalls
pass into the instcombine library call simplifier. Note that the
__stpcpy_chk simplifications were migrated in a previous commit.
llvm-svn: 167083
r166198 migrated the strcpy optimization to instcombine. The strcpy
simplifier that was migrated from Transforms/Scalar/SimplifyLibCalls.cpp
was also doing some __strcpy_chk simplifications. Those fortified
simplifications were migrated as well, but introduced a bug in the
__stpcpy_chk simplifier in the process. This happened because the
__strcpy_chk and __stpcpy_chk simplifiers were both mapped to StrCpyChkOpt
which was updated with simplifications that worked for __strcpy_chk, but
not __stpcpy_chk.
This patch fixes the problem by adding proper test coverage and creating a
new simplifier for __stpcpy_chk (instead of sharing one with __strcpy_chk).

the first source operand is tied to the destination operand.
This is to accurately model the corresponding instructions where the upper
bits are unmodified.

integers in that the code to handle split alloca-wide integer loads or
stores doesn't come first. It should, for the same reasons as with
integers, and the PR attests to that. Also had to fix a busted assert in
that this test case also covers.

Instead of recomputing relative pointer information just prior to fusing,
cache this information (which also needs to be computed during the
candidate-pair selection process). This cuts down on the total number of
SE queries made, and also is a necessary intermediate step on the road toward
including shuffle costs in the pair selection procedure.
No functionality change is intended.

Stop propagating the FlipMemInputs variable into the routines that
create the replacement instructions. Instead, just flip the arguments
of those routines. This allows for some associated cleanup (not all
of which is done here). No functionality change is intended.

the MachineInstr MayLoad/MayLoad flags are based on the tablegen implementation.
For inline assembly, however, we need to compute these based on the constraints.
Revert r166929 as this is no longer needed, but leave the test case in place.

SE was being called during the instruction-fusion process (when the result
is unreliable, and thus ignored). No functionality change is intended.
