Summary:
Distinguish two relationships between types: is-a and convertible-to.
For example, a bit is not an int or vice versa, but they can be
converted into each other (with range checks that you can think of
as "dynamic": unlike other type checks, those range checks do not
happen during parsing, but only once the final values have been
established).
Actually converting initializers between types is subtle: even
when values of type A can be converted to type B (e.g. int into
string), it may not be possible to do so with a concrete initializer
(e.g., a VarInit that refers to a variable of type int cannot
be immediately converted to a string).
For this reason, distinguish between getCastTo and convertInitializerTo:
the latter implements the actual conversion when appropriate, while
the former will first try to do the actual conversion and fall back
to introducing a !cast operation so that the conversion will be
delayed until variable references have been resolved.
To make the approach of adding !cast operations to work, !cast needs
to fallback to convertInitializerTo when the special string <-> record
logic does not apply.
This enables casting records to a subclass, although that new
functionality is only truly useful together with !isa, which will be
added in a later change.
The test is removed because it uses !srl on a bit sequence,
which cannot really be supported consistently, but luckily
isn't used anywhere either.

Summary:
This changes the syntax of !foreach so that the first "parameter" is
a new syntactic variable: !foreach(x, lst, expr) will define the
variable x within the scope of expr, and evaluation of the !foreach
will substitute elements of the given list (or dag) for x in expr.
Aside from leading to a nicer syntax, this allows more complex
expressions where x is deeply nested, or even constant expressions
in which x does not occur at all.
!foreach is currently not actually used anywhere in trunk, but I
plan to use it in the AMDGPU backend. If out-of-tree targets are
using it, they can adjust to the new syntax very easily.

Summary:
Returns the size of a list. I have found this to be rather useful in some
development for the AMDGPU backend where we could simplify our .td files
by concatenating list<LLVMType> for complex intrinsics. Doing so requires
us to compute the position argument for LLVMMatchType.
Basically, the usage is in a pattern that looks somewhat like this:
list<LLVMType> argtypes =
!listconcat(base,
[llvm_any_ty, LLVMMatchType<!size(base)>]);

X86EvexToVex machine instruction pass compresses EVEX encoded instructions by replacing them with their identical VEX encoded instructions when possible.
It uses manually supported 2 large tables that map the EVEX instructions to their VEX ideticals.
This TableGen backend replaces the tables by automatically generating them.

Lots of blocks had "llvm" or "nasm" syntax types but either weren't following
the syntax, or the syntax has changed (and sphinx hasn't keep up) or the type
doesn't even exist (nasm?).
Other documents had :options: what were invalid. I only removed those that had
warnings, and left the ones that didn't, in order to follow the principle of
least surprise.
This is like this for ages, but the buildbot is now failing on errors. It may
take a while to upgrade the buildbot's sphinx, if that's even possible, but
that shouldn't stop us from getting docs updates (which seem down for quite
a while).
Also, we're not losing any syntax highlight, since when it doesn't parse, it
doesn't colour. Ie. those blocks are not being highlighted anyway.
I'm trying to get all docs in one go, so that it's easy to revert later if we
do fix, or at least easy to know what's to fix.

I am sure we will be finding bits and pieces of dead code for years to
come, but this is a good start.
Thanks to Lang Hames for making MCJIT a good replacement!

Convert the operand to int if possible, i.e. if the value is properly
initialized. (I suppose there is further room for improvement here to also
peform the shift if the uninitialized bits are shifted out.)
With this little change we can now compute the scaling factor for compressed
displacement with pure tablegen code in the X86 backend. This is useful
because both the X86-disassembler-specific part of tablegen and the assembler
need this and TD is the natural sharing place.
The patch also adds the missing documentation for the shift and add operator.

Summary:
It concatenates two or more lists. In addition to the !strconcat semantics
the lists must have the same element type.
My overall aim is to make it easy to append to Instruction.Predicates
rather than override it. This can be done by concatenating lists passed as
arguments, or by concatenating lists passed in additional fields.

Making the new TableGen documentation official and marking the old file as
"Moved". Also, reverting the original LangRef as the normative formal
description of the language, while keeping the "new" LangRef as LangIntro
for the less inlcined to reading language grammars.
We should remove TableGenFundamentals.rst one day, but for now, just a
warning that it moved will have to do, while we make sure there are no more
links to it from elsewhere.

This is mainly a movement of content around to give place to new content
allowing different people to add bits to it in the right place. There is some
new content, but mostly to fill the gaps left by text movement.
I'm dropping the old syntax documentation as it has the problem of being
quickly outdated by changes and largely unnecessary to people not involved
in creating the language, but using it, which is the whole point of the
documentation.

They're called code fragments, but they are really multiline string
literals. Just spotted this usage in a patch by Aaron using "code
fragments" for holding documentation text. I remember someone bemoaning
the lack of multiline string literals in TableGen, so I'm explicitly
documenting that code fragments are multiline string literals.
Let it be known that any use case needing multiline string literals in
TableGen (such as descriptions of options, or whatnot) can use use
code fragments (instead of C-style string concatenation or exceedingly
long lines). E.g.
class Bar<int n>;
class Baz<int n>;
class Doc<string desc> {
string Desc = desc;
}
def Foo : Bar<1>, Baz<3>, Doc<[{
This Foo is a Bar, and also a Baz. It can take 3 values:
* Qux
* Quux
* Quuux
}]>;

DAG arguments can optionally be named:
(dag node, node:$name)
With this change, the node is also optional:
(dag node, node:$name, $name)
The missing node is treated as an UnsetInit, so the above is equivalent
to:
(dag node, node:$name, ?:$name)
This syntax is useful in output patterns where we currently require the
types of variables to be repeated:
def : Pat<(subc i32:$b, i32:$c), (SUBCCrr i32:$b, i32:$c)>;
This is preferable:
def : Pat<(subc i32:$b, i32:$c), (SUBCCrr $b, $c)>;

My "excuse" for not refactoring the grammar here is to not diverge too
far from the grammar in the comments of TGParser.cpp, since I'm not
taking on the quest of majorly refactoring TGParser.cpp at the moment.
One benefit of doing this is that Ideas for refactoring and clarifying
the grammar in this document should translate almost immediately to
beneficial refactorings that can be made to TGParser.cpp.
