This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.

This is part of the fix for pr10367. A GlobalAlias always has a pointer type,
so just have the constructor build the type.

This reverts commit r208934.
The patch depends on aliases to GEPs with non zero offsets. That is not
supported and fairly broken.
The good news is that GlobalAlias is being redesigned and will have support
for offsets, so this patch should be a nice match for it.

Sometimes a LLVM compilation may take more time then a client would like to
wait for. The problem is that it is not possible to safely suspend the LLVM
thread from the outside. When the timing is bad it might be possible that the
LLVM thread holds a global mutex and this would block any progress in any other
thread.
This commit adds a new yield callback function that can be registered with a
context. LLVM will try to yield by calling this callback function, but there is
no guaranteed frequency. LLVM will only do so if it can guarantee that
suspending the thread won't block any forward progress in other LLVM contexts
in the same process.
Once the client receives the call back it can suspend the thread safely and
resume it at another time.

This commit implements two command line switches -global-merge-on-external
and -global-merge-aligned, and both of them are false by default, so this
optimization is disabled by default for all targets.
For ARM64, some back-end behaviors need to be tuned to get this optimization
further enabled.

This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.

1) Changed gather and scatter intrinsics. Now they are aligned with GCC built-ins. There is no more non-masked form. Masked intrinsic receives -1 if all lanes are executed.
2) I changed the function that works with intrinsics inside X86ISelLowering.cpp. I put all intrinsics in one table. I did it for INTRINSICS_W_CHAIN and plan to put all intrinsics from WO_CHAIN set to the same table in order to avoid the long-long "switch". (I wanted to use static map initialization that allowed by C++11 but I wasn't able to compile it on VS2012).
3) I added gather/scatter prefetch intrinsics.
4) I fixed MRMm encoding for masked instructions.

This reverts commit r200561.
This calling convention was an attempt to match the MSVC C++ ABI for
methods that return structures by value. This solution didn't scale,
because it would have required splitting every CC available on Windows
into two: one for methods and one for free functions.
Now that we can put sret on the second arg (r208453), and Clang does
that (r208458), revert this hack.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@208459 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
MSVC always places the implicit sret parameter after the implicit this
parameter of instance methods. We used to handle this for
x86_thiscallcc by allocating the sret parameter on the stack and leaving
the this pointer in ecx, but that doesn't handle alternative calling
conventions like cdecl, stdcall, fastcall, or the win64 convention.
Instead, change the verifier to allow sret on the second parameter.
This also requires changing the Mips and X86 backends to return the
argument with the sret parameter, instead of assuming that the sret
parameter comes first.
The Sparc backend also returns sret parameters in a register, but I
wasn't able to update it to handle secondary sret parameters. It
currently calls report_fatal_error if you feed it an sret in the second
parameter.

The change to ExtractGV.cpp has no functionality change except to avoid
the asserts. Existing testcases already cover this, so I didn't add a
new one.

This is similar to the getAlignment patch, but is done just for
completeness. It looks like we never call getSection on an alias. All the
tests still pass if the if is replaced with an assert.

This patch implements the infrastructure to use named register constructs in
programs that need access to specific registers (bare metal, kernels, etc).
So far, only the stack pointer is supported as a technology preview, but as it
is, the intrinsic can already support all non-allocatable registers from any
architecture.

An alias has the address of what it points to, so it also has the same
alignment.
This allows a few optimizations to see past aliases for free.

Also, provide the ability to create temporary and non-temporary
declarations, as not all declarations may be replaced by definitions
later on.
This provides the necessary infrastructure for Clang to fix PR19598,
leaking temporary MDNodes in Clang's debug info generation.

The number of tail call to loop conversions remains the same (1618 by my count).
The new algorithm does a local scan over the use-def chains to identify local "alloca-derived" values, as well as points where the alloca could escape. Then, a visit over the CFG marks blocks as being before or after the allocas have escaped, and annotates the calls accordingly.

requiring full control over the various parameters to the std::iterator
concept / trait thing. This is a precursor for adjusting these things to
where you can write a bidirectional iterator wrapping a random access
iterator with custom increment and decrement logic.

This commit provides the necessary C/C++ APIs and infastructure to enable fine-
grain progress report and safe suspension points after each pass in the pass
manager.
Clients can provide a callback function to the pass manager to call after each
pass. This can be used in a variety of ways (progress report, dumping of IR
between passes, safe suspension of threads, etc).
The run listener list is maintained in the LLVMContext, which allows a multi-
threaded client to be only informed for it's own thread. This of course assumes
that the client created a LLVMContext for each thread.

This intrinsic is no longer needed with the new @llvm.arm.hint(i32) intrinsic
which provides a generic, extensible manner for adding hint instructions. This
functionality can now be represented as @llvm.arm.hint(i32 5).

Introduce the llvm.arm.hint(i32) intrinsic that can be used to inject hints into
the instruction stream. This is particularly useful for generating IR from a
compiler where the user may inject an intrinsic (e.g. __yield). These are then
pattern substituted into the correct instruction which already existed.

This is similar to the 'tail' marker, except that it guarantees that
tail call optimization will occur. It also comes with convervative IR
verification rules that ensure that tail call optimization is possible.

This patch:
- Adds two new X86 builtin intrinsics ('int_x86_rdtsc' and
'int_x86_rdtscp') as GCCBuiltin intrinsics;
- Teaches the backend how to lower the two new builtins;
- Introduces a common function to lower READCYCLECOUNTER dag nodes
and the two new rdtsc/rdtscp intrinsics;
- Improves (and extends) the existing x86 test 'rdtsc.ll'; now test 'rdtsc.ll'
correctly verifies that both READCYCLECOUNTER and the two new intrinsics
work fine for both 64bit and 32bit Subtargets.
