when we fail to place all the blocks of a loop. Currently this is
happening for unnatural loops, and this logic helps more immediately
point to the problem.

The old naming scheme (load/use/def/store) can be traced back to an old
linear scan article, but the names don't match how slots are actually
used.
The load and store slots are not needed after the deferred spill code
insertion framework was deleted.
The use and def slots don't make any sense because we are using
half-open intervals as is customary in C code, but the names suggest
closed intervals. In reality, these slots were used to distinguish
early-clobber defs from normal defs.
The new naming scheme also has 4 slots, but the names match how the
slots are really used. This is a purely mechanical renaming, but some
of the code makes a lot more sense now.

branches that also may involve fallthrough. In the case of blocks with
no fallthrough, we can still re-order the blocks profitably. For example
instruction decoding will in some cases continue past an indirect jump,
making laying out its most likely successor there profitable.
Note, no test case. I don't know how to write a test case that exercises
this logic, but it matches the described desired semantics in
discussions with Jakob and others. If anyone has a nice example of IR
that will trigger this, that would be lovely.
Also note, there are still assertion failures in real world code with
this. I'm digging into those next, now that I know this isn't the cause.

second algorithm, but only loosely. It is more heavily based on the last
discussion I had with Andy. It continues to walk from the inner-most
loop outward, but there is a key difference. With this algorithm we
ensure that as we visit each loop, the entire loop is merged into
a single chain. At the end, the entire function is treated as a "loop",
and merged into a single chain. This chain forms the desired sequence of
blocks within the function. Switching to a single algorithm removes my
biggest problem with the previous approaches -- they had different
behavior depending on which system triggered the layout. Now there is
exactly one algorithm and one basis for the decision making.
The other key difference is how the chain is formed. This is based
heavily on the idea Andy mentioned of keeping a worklist of blocks that
are viable layout successors based on the CFG. Having this set allows us
to consistently select the best layout successor for each block. It is
expensive though.
The code here remains very rough. There is a lot that needs to be done
to clean up the code, and to make the runtime cost of this pass much
lower. Very much WIP, but this was a giant chunk of code and I'd rather
folks see it sooner than later. Everything remains behind a flag of
course.
I've added a couple of tests to exercise the issues that this iteration
was motivated by: loop structure preservation. I've also fixed one test
that was exhibiting the broken behavior of the previous version.

SimplifyAddress to handle either a 12-bit unsigned offset or the ARM +/-imm8
offsets (addressing mode 3). This enables a load followed by an integer
extend to be folded into a single load.
For example:
ldrb r1, [r0] ldrb r1, [r0]
uxtb r2, r1 =>
mov r3, r2 mov r3, r1

It was off by default.
The new register allocators don't have the problems that made it
necessary to reallocate registers during stack slot coloring.

It is worth noting that the old spiller would split live ranges around
basic blocks. The new spiller doesn't do that.
PBQP should do its own live range splitting with
SplitEditor::splitSingleBlock() if desired. See
RAGreedy::tryBlockSplit().

RegAllocGreedy has been the default for six months now.
Deleting RegAllocLinearScan makes it possible to also delete
VirtRegRewriter and clean up the spiller code.

methods but also class methods for Objective-C.
Clang emits Objective-C method names with '\1' at the
beginning, and the JIT has pre-existing logic to try
prepending a '\1' when searching a module for an
instance method (that is, a method whose name begins
with '-'). I simply extended it to do the same thing
when it encountered a class method (a method whose
name begins with '+').

instance and a concrete inlined instance are the use of DW_TAG_subprogram
instead of DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine and the who owns the tree.
We were also omitting DW_AT_inline from the abstract roots. To fix this,
make sure we mark abstract instance roots with DW_AT_inline even when
we have only out-of-line instances referring to them with DW_AT_abstract_origin.
FileCheck is not a very good tool for tests like this, maybe we should add
a -verify mode to llvm-dwarfdump.
