749d6fbf7e IR: Move MDNode clone() methods from ValueMapper to MDNode, NFC
Now that the clone methods used by `MapMetadata()` don't do any
remapping (and return a temporary), they make more sense as member
functions on `MDNode` (and subclasses).

0a9f921686 IR: Introduce GenericDwarfNode
As part of PR22235, introduce `DwarfNode` and `GenericDwarfNode`.  The
former is a metadata node with a DWARF tag.  The latter matches our
current (generic) schema of a header with string (and stringified
integer) data and an arbitrary number of operands.

This doesn't move it into place yet; that change will require a large
number of testcase updates.

b0617860b5 IR: Merge UniquableMDNode back into MDNode, NFC
As pointed out in r226501, the distinction between `MDNode` and
`UniquableMDNode` is confusing.  When we need subclasses of `MDNode`
that don't use all its functionality it might make sense to break it
apart again, but until then this makes the code clearer.

f9eaea701d IR: Return unique_ptr from MDNode::getTemporary()
Change `MDTuple::getTemporary()` and `MDLocation::getTemporary()` to
return (effectively) `std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`, and
clean up call sites.  (For now, `DIBuilder` call sites just call
`release()` immediately.)

There's an accompanying change in each of clang and polly to use the new
API.

8ec0aee3b4 IR: Remove MDNodeFwdDecl
Remove `MDNodeFwdDecl` (as promised in r226481).  Aside from API
changes, there's no real functionality change here.
`MDNode::getTemporary()` now forwards to `MDTuple::getTemporary()`,
which returns a tuple with `isTemporary()` equal to true.

The main point is that we can now add temporaries of other `MDNode`
subclasses, needed for PR22235 (I introduced `MDNodeFwdDecl` in the
first place because I didn't recognize this need, and thought they were
only needed to handle forward references).

A few things left out of (or highlighted by) this commit:

  - I've had to remove the (few) uses of `std::unique_ptr<>` to deal
    with temporaries, since the destructor is no longer public.
    `getTemporary()` should probably return the equivalent of
    `std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`.
  - `MDLocation::getTemporary()` doesn't exist yet (worse, it actually
    does exist, but does the wrong thing: `MDNode::getTemporary()` is
    inherited and returns an `MDTuple`).
  - `MDNode` now only has one subclass, `UniquableMDNode`, and the
    distinction between them is actually somewhat confusing.

I'll fix those up next.

ae9e15f914 IR: Split GenericMDNode into MDTuple and UniquableMDNode
Split `GenericMDNode` into two classes (with more descriptive names).

  - `UniquableMDNode` will be a common subclass for `MDNode`s that are
    sometimes uniqued like constants, and sometimes 'distinct'.

    This class gets the (short-lived) RAUW support and related API.

  - `MDTuple` is the basic tuple that has always been returned by
    `MDNode::get()`.  This is as opposed to more specific nodes to be
    added soon, which have additional fields, custom assembly syntax,
    and extra semantics.

    This class gets the hash-related logic, since other sublcasses of
    `UniquableMDNode` may need to hash based on other fields.

To keep this diff from getting too big, I've added casts to `MDTuple`
that won't really scale as new subclasses of `UniquableMDNode` are
added, but I'll clean those up incrementally.

(No functionality change intended.)

dad20b2ae2 IR: Split Metadata from Value
Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532.  Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.

I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`.  If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(.  Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it.  FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.

This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.

Here's a quick guide for updating your code:

  - `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
    `MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`.  It is distinct from
    the `Value` class hierarchy.  It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
    *not* have a `Type`.

  - `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).

  - `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
    replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.

    If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
    construction -- just use `MDNode*`.

  - `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
    `replaceAllUsesWith()`.

    As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
    result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
    uses and can RAUW itself.  Once the forward declarations are fully
    resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground.  This means that
    uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
    "distinct".  (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
    operand went to null.)

    If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
    you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
    top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes).  Also,
    don't do that.  Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
    construct them) are expensive.

  - An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
    `ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).

    As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
    to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
    `Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
    third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.

    The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
    metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
    the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
    `GlobalValue`s).

    In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
    namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
    avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
    site.  If your old code was:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    you can trivially match its semantics with:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(mdconst::hasa               <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(mdconst::extract            <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(mdconst::extract_or_null    <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(mdconst::dyn_extract        <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

    and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:

        MDNode *N = foo();
        bar(isa             <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
        baz(cast            <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
        bak(cast_or_null    <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
        bat(dyn_cast        <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
        bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));

  - A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
    metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`.  This is a
    subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.

    `MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
    `LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
    like `Argument` and `Instruction`.  It can also refer to any other
    `Metadata` subclass.

(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

With this patch, we will correctly generate

Looking up %argc.addr in ValueMap will return null, since %argc.addr is already

1229c0cb10 Linker: correctly link in dbg.declare
Given source IR:
call void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata !{i32* %argc.addr}, metadata !14), !dbg !15
we used to generate 
call void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata !27, metadata !28), !dbg !29
!27 = metadata !{null}

With this patch, we will correctly generate
call void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata !{i32* %argc.addr}, metadata !27), !dbg !28

Looking up %argc.addr in ValueMap will return null, since %argc.addr is already
correctly set up, we can use identity mapping.

0b8c9a80f2 Move all of the header files which are involved in modelling the LLVM IR
into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.

There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.

The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.

I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).

I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

4692be11a9 Stop the ValueMapper from calling getAllMetadata, which unpacks DebugLoc into
an MDNode.  This saves a bunch of time and memory in the IR linker, e.g. when 
doing LTO of files with debug info.

1afcace3a3 Land the long talked about "type system rewrite" patch. This
patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM.  One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
 109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)

Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing.  Other advantages
include:

1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
   union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
   uniques them.  This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
   which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
   struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
   in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead 
   "const Type *" everywhere.

Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.  
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.

There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.
