This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers
Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.
What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:
!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }
Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:
... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.
Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.
[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]
Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.

Summary:
This patch moves the handling of -pass-remarks* over to
lib/DiagnosticInfo.cpp. This allows the removal of the
optimizationRemarkEnabledFor functions from LLVMContextImpl, as they're
not needed anymore.

Summary:
This adds two new diagnostics: -pass-remarks-missed and
-pass-remarks-analysis. They take the same values as -pass-remarks but
are intended to be triggered in different contexts.
-pass-remarks-missed is used by LLVMContext::emitOptimizationRemarkMissed,
which passes call when they tried to apply a transformation but
couldn't.
-pass-remarks-analysis is used by LLVMContext::emitOptimizationRemarkAnalysis,
which passes call when they want to inform the user about analysis
results.
The patch also:
1- Adds support in the inliner for the two new remarks and a
test case.
2- Moves emitOptimizationRemark* functions to the llvm namespace.
3- Adds an LLVMContext argument instead of making them member functions
of LLVMContext.

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 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 fixes <rdar://problem/16728690>

Summary:
When optimization remarks are enabled via the driver flag -Rpass, we
should allow the FE diagnostic handler to check if the given pass name
needs a diagnostic.
We were unconditionally checking the pattern defined in opt's
-pass-remarks flag. This was causing the FE to not emit any diagnostics.

Summary:
This adds support in 'opt' to filter pass remarks emitted by
optimization passes. A new flag -pass-remarks specifies which
passes should emit a diagnostic when LLVMContext::emitOptimizationRemark
is invoked.
This will allow the front end to simply pass along the regular
expression from its own -Rpass flag when launching the backend.
Depends on D3227.

Summary:
This patch adds backend support for -Rpass=, which indicates the name
of the optimization pass that should emit remarks stating when it
made a transformation to the code.
Pass names are taken from their DEBUG_NAME definitions.
When emitting an optimization report diagnostic, the lack of debug
information causes the diagnostic to use "<unknown>:0:0" as the
location string.

A 'remark' is information that is not an error or a warning, but rather some
additional information provided to the user. In contrast to a 'note' a 'remark'
is an independent diagnostic, whereas a 'note' always depends on another
diagnostic.
A typical use case for remark nodes is information provided to the user, e.g.
information provided by the vectorizer about loops that have been vectorized.

The LLVM diagnostic are now wired-up in clang (since r200931),
thus the user experience will not be impacted by this change

This reapplies r197438 and fixes the link-time circular dependency between
IR and Support. The fix consists in moving the diagnostic support into IR.
The patch adds a new LLVMContext::diagnose that can be used to communicate to
the front-end, if any, that something of interest happened.
The diagnostics are supported by a new abstraction, the DiagnosticInfo class.
The base class contains the following information:
- The kind of the report: What this is about.
- The severity of the report: How bad this is.
This patch also adds 2 classes:
- DiagnosticInfoInlineAsm: For inline asm reporting. Basically, this diagnostic
will be used to switch to the new diagnostic API for LLVMContext::emitError.
- DiagnosticStackSize: For stack size reporting. Comes as a replacement of the
hard coded warning in PEI.
This patch also features dynamic diagnostic identifiers. In other words plugins
can use this infrastructure for their own diagnostics (for more details, see
getNextAvailablePluginDiagnosticKind).
This patch introduces a new DiagnosticHandlerTy and a new DiagnosticContext in
the LLVMContext that should be set by the front-end to be able to map these
diagnostics in its own system.

The "invariant.load" metadata indicates the memory unit being accessed is immutable.
A load annotated with this metadata can be moved across any store.
As I am not sure if it is legal to move such loads across barrier/fence, this
change dose not allow such transformation.

This reverts my commit 171047. Now that I've removed my misguided attempt to
support backend warnings, these diagnostics are only about inline assembly.
It would take quite a bit more work to generalize them properly, so I'm
just reverting this.

This reverts r171041. This was a nice idea that didn't work out well.
Clang warnings need to be associated with warning groups so that they can
be selectively disabled, promoted to errors, etc. This simplistic patch didn't
allow for that. Enhancing it to provide some way for the backend to specify
a front-end warning type seems like overkill for the few uses of this, at
least for now.

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.

Aside from moving the actual files, this patch only updates the build
system and the source file comments under lib/... that are relevant.
I'll be updating other docs and other files in smaller subsequnet
commits.
While I've tried to test this, but it is entirely possible that there
will still be some build system fallout.
Also, note that I've not changed the library name itself: libLLVMCore.a
is still the library name. I'd be interested in others' opinions about
whether we should rename this as well (I think we should, just not sure
what it might break)
