to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Simple predicates, such as those defined by `CheckRegOperandSimple` or
`CheckImmOperandSimple`, were not being negated when used with `CheckNot`.
This change fixes this issue by defining the previously declared methods to
handle simple predicates.

Before this patch, class PredicateExpander only knew how to expand simple
predicates that performed checks on instruction operands.
In particular, the new scheduling predicate syntax was not rich enough to
express checks like this one:
Foo(MI->getOperand(0).getImm()) == ExpectedVal;
Here, the immediate operand value at index zero is passed in input to function
Foo, and ExpectedVal is compared against the value returned by function Foo.
While this predicate pattern doesn't show up in any X86 model, it shows up in
other upstream targets. So, being able to support those predicates is
fundamental if we want to be able to modernize all the scheduling models
upstream.
With this patch, we allow users to specify if a register/immediate operand value
needs to be passed in input to a function as part of the predicate check. Now,
register/immediate operand checks all derive from base class CheckOperandBase.
This patch also changes where TIIPredicate definitions are expanded by the
instructon info emitter. Before, definitions were expanded in class
XXXGenInstrInfo (where XXX is a target name).
With the introduction of this new syntax, we may want to have TIIPredicates
expanded directly in XXXInstrInfo. That is because functions used by the new
operand predicates may only exist in the derived class (i.e. XXXInstrInfo).
This patch is a non functional change for the existing scheduling models.
In future, we will be able to use this richer syntax to better describe complex
scheduling predicates, and expose them to llvm-mca.

This patch adds the ability for processor models to describe dependency breaking
instructions.
Different processors may specify a different set of dependency-breaking
instructions.
That means, we cannot assume that all processors of the same target would use
the same rules to classify dependency breaking instructions.
The main goal of this patch is to provide the means to describe dependency
breaking instructions directly via tablegen, and have the following
TargetSubtargetInfo hooks redefined in overrides by tabegen'd
XXXGenSubtargetInfo classes (here, XXX is a Target name).
```
virtual bool isZeroIdiom(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const {
return false;
}
virtual bool isDependencyBreaking(const MachineInstr *MI, APInt &Mask) const {
return isZeroIdiom(MI);
}
```
An instruction MI is a dependency-breaking instruction if a call to method
isDependencyBreaking(MI) on the STI (TargetSubtargetInfo object) evaluates to
true. Similarly, an instruction MI is a special case of zero-idiom dependency
breaking instruction if a call to STI.isZeroIdiom(MI) returns true.
The extra APInt is used for those targets that may want to select which machine
operands have their dependency broken (see comments in code).
Note that by default, subtargets don't know about the existence of
dependency-breaking. In the absence of external information, those method calls
would always return false.
A new tablegen class named STIPredicate has been added by this patch to let
processor models classify instructions that have properties in common. The idea
is that, a MCInstrPredicate definition can be used to "generate" an instruction
equivalence class, with the idea that instructions of a same class all have a
property in common.
STIPredicate definitions are essentially a collection of instruction equivalence
classes.
Also, different processor models can specify a different variant of the same
STIPredicate with different rules (i.e. predicates) to classify instructions.
Tablegen backends (in this particular case, the SubtargetEmitter) will be able
to process STIPredicate definitions, and automatically generate functions in
XXXGenSubtargetInfo.
This patch introduces two special kind of STIPredicate classes named
IsZeroIdiomFunction and IsDepBreakingFunction in tablegen. It also adds a
definition for those in the BtVer2 scheduling model only.
This patch supersedes the one committed at r338372 (phabricator review: D49310).
The main advantages are:
- We can describe subtarget predicates via tablegen using STIPredicates.
- We can describe zero-idioms / dep-breaking instructions directly via
tablegen in the scheduling models.
In future, the STIPredicates framework can be used for solving other problems.
Examples of future developments are:
- Teach how to identify optimizable register-register moves
- Teach how to identify slow LEA instructions (each subtarget defining its own
concept of "slow" LEA).
- Teach how to identify instructions that have undocumented false dependencies
on the output registers on some processors only.
It is also (in my opinion) an elegant way to expose knowledge to both external
tools like llvm-mca, and codegen passes.
For example, machine schedulers in LLVM could reuse that information when
internally constructing the data dependency graph for a code region.
This new design feature is also an "opt-in" feature. Processor models don't have
to use the new STIPredicates. It has all been designed to be as unintrusive as
possible.

This patch removes redundant template argument `TargetName` from TIIPredicate.
Tablegen can always infer the target name from the context. So we don't need to
force users of TIIPredicate to always specify it.
This allows us to better modularize the tablegen class hierarchy for the
so-called "function predicates". class FunctionPredicateBase has been added; it
is currently used as a building block for TIIPredicates. However, I plan to
reuse that class to model other function predicate classes too (i.e. not just
TIIPredicates). For example, this can be a first step towards implementing
proper support for dependency breaking instructions in tablegen.
This patch also adds a verification step on TIIPredicates in tablegen.
We cannot have multiple TIIPredicates with the same name. Otherwise, this will
cause build errors later on, when tablegen'd .inc files are included by cpp
files and then compiled.

This is a follow-up of r339552.
As pointed out by Craig in D50566, we don't need a formatted_raw_ostream to
indent strings. We can use instead raw_ostream::indent().
Internally, class PredicateExpander already keeps track of the current
indentation level. Also, the grammar for predicates is well parenthesized, and
therefore we don't need to use a formatted_raw_ostream to continuously track the
column number. Instead we can safely replace all the uses of
formatted_raw_ostream::PadToColumn() with uses of raw_ostream::indent().
By replacing formatted_raw_ostream with a simpler raw_ostream, we also avoid the
implicit check on the newline character on every print to stream.
No functional change intended.

This patch introduces tablegen class MCStatement.
Currently, an MCStatement can be either a return statement, or a switch
statement.
```
MCStatement:
MCReturnStatement
MCOpcodeSwitchStatement
```
A MCReturnStatement expands to a return statement, and the boolean expression
associated with the return statement is described by a MCInstPredicate.
An MCOpcodeSwitchStatement is a switch statement where the condition is a check
on the machine opcode. It allows the definition of multiple checks, as well as a
default case. More details on the grammar implemented by these two new
constructs can be found in the diff for TargetInstrPredicates.td.
This patch makes it easier to read the body of auto-generated TargetInstrInfo
predicates.
In future, I plan to reuse/extend the MCStatement grammar to describe more
complex target hooks. For now, this is just a first step (mostly a minor
cosmetic change to polish the new predicates framework).

Function `expandCheckImmOperand` should always check if the input machine
instruction is passed by reference before calling method `getOperand()` on it.
Found while working on a patch that relies on `expandCheckImmOperand` to expand
a scheduling predicate.

This patch is the first of a sequence of three patches described by the LLVM-dev
RFC "MC support for variant scheduling classes".
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123181.html
The goal of this patch is to introduce a new class of scheduling predicates for
SchedReadVariant and SchedWriteVariant.
An MCSchedPredicate can be used instead of a normal SchedPredicate to model
checks on the instruction (either a MachineInstr or a MCInst).
Internally, an MCSchedPredicate encapsulates an MCInstPredicate definition.
MCInstPredicate allows the definition of expressions with a well-known semantic,
that can be used to generate code for both MachineInstr and MCInst.
This is the first step toward teaching to tools like lllvm-mca how to resolve
variant scheduling classes.
