This patch removes all weight-related interfaces from BPI and replace
them by probability versions. With this patch, we won't use edge weight
anymore in either IR or MC passes. Edge probabilitiy is a better
representation in terms of CFG update and validation.

(This is the second attempt to submit this patch. The first caused two assertion
failures and was reverted. See https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25687)
The patch in http://reviews.llvm.org/D13745 is broken into four parts:
1. New interfaces without functional changes (http://reviews.llvm.org/D13908).
2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities
as weights (http://reviews.llvm.org/D14361).
3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.
4. Remove old interfaces.
This patch is 3+4 above. In this patch, MBB won't provide weight-based
interfaces any more, which are totally replaced by probability-based ones.
The interface addSuccessor() is redesigned so that the default probability is
unknown. We allow unknown probabilities but don't allow using it together
with known probabilities in successor list. That is to say, we either have a
list of successors with all known probabilities, or all unknown
probabilities. In the latter case, we assume each successor has 1/N
probability where N is the number of successors. An assertion checks if the
user is attempting to add a successor with the disallowed mixed use as stated
above. This can help us catch many misuses.
All uses of weight-based interfaces are now updated to use probability-based
ones.

2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities

3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.

This the second patch above. In this patch SelectionDAG starts to use
probability-based interfaces in MBB to add successors but other MC passes are
still using weight-based interfaces. Therefore, we need to maintain correct
weight list in MBB even when probability-based interfaces are used. This is
done by updating weight list in probability-based interfaces by treating the
numerator of probabilities as weights. This change affects many test cases
that check successor weight values. I will update those test cases once this
patch looks good to you.

Those new constructors make it more natural to construct an object for a function. For example, previously to build a LoopInfo for a function, we need four statements:
DominatorTree DT;
LoopInfo LI;
DT.recalculate(F);
LI.analyze(DT);
Now we only need one statement:
LoopInfo LI(DominatorTree(F));

This new wrapper pass is useful when we want to do branch probability analysis conditionally (e.g. only in PGO mode) but don't want to add one more pass dependence.

BranchProbabilityInfo was leaking 3MB of memory when running 'opt -O2 verify-uselistorder.lto.bc'. This was due to the Weights member not being cleared once the pass is no longer needed.
This adds the releaseMemory override to clear that field. The other fields are cleared at the end of runOnFunction so can stay there.

subsequent changes are easier to review. About to fix some layering
issues, and wanted to separate out the necessary churn.
Also comment and sink the include of "Windows.h" in three .inc files to
match the usage in Memory.inc.

IMHO At some point BasicBlock should be refactored along the lines of
MachineBasicBlock so that successors/weights are actually embedded within the
block. Now is not that time though.

Other than recognizing the attribute, the patch does little else.
It changes the branch probability analyzer so that edges into
blocks postdominated by a cold function are given low weight.
Added analysis and code generation tests. Added documentation for the
new attribute.

AKA: Recompile *ALL* the source code!
This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.

the case of multiple edges from one block to another.
A simple example is a switch statement with multiple values to the same
destination. The definition of an edge is modified from a pair of blocks to
a pair of PredBlock and an index into the successors.
Also set the weight correctly when building SelectionDAG from LLVM IR,
especially when converting a Switch.
IntegersSubsetMapping is updated to calculate the weight for each cluster.

introduce no-return or unreachable heuristics.
The return heuristics from the Ball and Larus paper don't work well in
practice as they pessimize early return paths. The only good hitrate
return heuristics are those for:
- NULL return
- Constant return
- negative integer return
Only the last of these three can possibly require significant code for
the returning block, and even the last is fairly rare and usually also
a constant. As a consequence, even for the cold return paths, there is
little code on that return path, and so little code density to be gained
by sinking it. The places where sinking these blocks is valuable (inner
loops) will already be weighted appropriately as the edge is a loop-exit
branch.
All of this aside, early returns are nearly as common as all three of
these return categories, and should actually be predicted as taken!
Rather than muddy the waters of the static predictions, just remain
silent on returns and let the CFG itself dictate any layout or other
issues.
However, the return heuristic was flagging one very important case:
unreachable. Unfortunately it still gave a 1/4 chance of the
branch-to-unreachable occuring. It also didn't do a rigorous job of
finding those blocks which post-dominate an unreachable block.
This patch builds a more powerful analysis that should flag all branches
to blocks known to then reach unreachable. It also has better worst-case
runtime complexity by not looping through successors for each block. The
previous code would perform an N^2 walk in the event of a single entry
block branching to N successors with a switch where each successor falls
through to the next and they finally fall through to a return.
Test case added for noreturn heuristics. Also doxygen comments improved
along the way.

a single class. Previously it was split between two classes, one
internal and one external. The concern seemed to center around exposing
the weights used, but those can remain confined to the implementation
file.
Having a single class to maintain the state and analyses in use will
also simplify several of the enhancements I want to make to our static
heuristics.

the BlockFrequencyInfo pass.
The next step is to start adding tests for the various heuristics
employed, and to start fixing those heuristics once they're under test.

llvm-svn: 132867
BranchProbabilityInfo provides an interface for IR passes to query the
likelihood that control follows a CFG edge. This patch provides an
initial implementation of static branch predication that will populate
BranchProbabilityInfo for branches with no external profile
information using very simple heuristics. It currently isn't hooked up
to any external profile data, so static prediction does all the work.
