Our internal regex implementation does not cope with large numbers
of anchors very efficiently. Given a ~3600-entry special case list,
regex compilation can take on the order of seconds. This patch solves
the problem for the special case of patterns matching literal global
names (i.e. patterns with no regex metacharacters). Rather than
forming regexes from literal global name patterns, add them to
a StringSet which is checked before matching against the regex.
This reduces regex compilation time by an order of roughly thousands
when reading the aforementioned special case list, according to a
completely unscientific study.
No test cases. I figure that any new tests for this code should
check that regex metacharacters are properly recognised. However,
I could not find any documentation which documents the fact that the
syntax of global names in special case lists is based on regexes.
The extent to which regex syntax is supported in special case lists
should probably be decided on/documented before writing tests.

It will now only convert the arguments / return value and call
the underlying function if the types are able to be bitcasted.
This avoids using fp<->int conversions that would occur before.

infrastructure to do promotion without a domtree the same smarts about
looking through GEPs, bitcasts, etc., that I just taught mem2reg about.
This way, if SROA chooses to promote an alloca which still has some
noisy instructions this code can cope with them.
I've not used as principled of an approach here for two reasons:
1) This code doesn't really need it as we were already set up to zip
through the instructions used by the alloca.
2) I view the code here as more of a hack, and hopefully a temporary one.
The SSAUpdater path in SROA is a real sore point for me. It doesn't make
a lot of architectural sense for many reasons:
- We're likely to end up needing the domtree anyways in a subsequent
pass, so why not compute it earlier and use it.
- In the future we'll likely end up needing the domtree for parts of the
inliner itself.
- If we need to we could teach the inliner to preserve the domtree. Part
of the re-work of the pass manager will allow this to be very powerful
even in large SCCs with many functions.
- Ultimately, computing a domtree has gotten significantly faster since
the original SSAUpdater-using code went into ScalarRepl. We no longer
use domfrontiers, and much of domtree is lazily done based on queries
rather than eagerly.
- At this point keeping the SSAUpdater-based promotion saves a total of
0.7% on a build of the 'opt' tool for me. That's not a lot of
performance given the complexity!
So I'm leaving this a bit ugly in the hope that eventually we just
remove all of this nonsense.
I can't even readily test this because this code isn't reachable except
through SROA. When I re-instate the patch that fast-tracks allocas
already suitable for promotion, I'll add a testcase there that failed
before this change. Before that, SROA will fix any test case I give it.

uses of an alloca, we can pre-compute promotability while analyzing an
alloca for splitting in SROA. That lets us short-circuit the common case
of a bunch of trivially promotable allocas. This cuts 20% to 30% off the
run time of SROA for typical frontend-generated IR sequneces I'm seeing.
It gets the new SROA to within 20% of ScalarRepl for such code. My
current benchmark for these numbers is PR15412, but it fits the general
pattern of IR emitted by Clang so it should be widely applicable.

their being optimized out in debug mode. Realistically, this just isn't
going to be the slow part anyways. This also fixes unused variable
warnings that are breaking LLD build bots. =/ I didn't see these at
first, and kept losing track of the fact that they were broken.

analysis of the alloca. We don't need to visit all the users twice for
this. We build up a kill list during the analysis and then just process
it afterward. This recovers the tiny bit of performance lost by moving
to the visitor based analysis system as it removes one entire use-list
walk from mem2reg. In some cases, this is now faster than mem2reg was
previously.

Adds unit tests for it too.

Merge consecutive if-regions if they contain identical statements.
Both transformations reduce number of branches. The transformation
is guarded by a target-hook, and is currently enabled only for +R600,
but the correctness has been tested on X86 target using a variety of

robust. It now uses an InstVisitor and worklist to actually walk the
uses of the Alloca transitively and detect the pattern which we can
directly promote: loads & stores of the whole alloca and instructions we
can completely ignore.
Also, with this new implementation teach both the predicate for testing
whether we can promote and the promotion engine itself to use the same
code so we no longer have strange divergence between the two code paths.
I've added some silly test cases to demonstrate that we can handle
slightly more degenerate code patterns now. See the below for why this
is even interesting.
Performance impact: roughly 1% regression in the performance of SROA or
ScalarRepl on a large C++-ish test case where most of the allocas are
basically ready for promotion. The reason is because of silly redundant
work that I've left FIXMEs for and which I'll address in the next
commit. I wanted to separate this commit as it changes the behavior.
Once the redundant work in removing the dead uses of the alloca is
fixed, this code appears to be faster than the old version. =]
So why is this useful? Because the previous requirement for promotion
required a *specific* visit pattern of the uses of the alloca to verify:
we *had* to look for no more than 1 intervening use. The end goal is to
have SROA automatically detect when an alloca is already promotable and
directly hand it to the mem2reg machinery rather than trying to
partition and rewrite it. This is a 25% or more performance improvement
for SROA, and a significant chunk of the delta between it and
ScalarRepl. To get there, we need to make mem2reg actually capable of
promoting allocas which *look* promotable to SROA without have SROA do
tons of work to massage the code into just the right form.
This is actually the tip of the iceberg. There are tremendous potential
savings we can realize here by de-duplicating work between mem2reg and
SROA.

This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target.
However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian
code. Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian
built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for
syntax-only testing. Code generation will otherwise be the same as
powerpc64 (big-endian), for now.
The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian
PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a
thing.
The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import
worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
code are generated.

The language reference says that:
"If a symbol appears in the @llvm.used list, then the compiler,
assembler, and linker are required to treat the symbol as if there is
a reference to the symbol that it cannot see"
Since even the linker cannot see the reference, we must assume that
the reference can be using the symbol table. For example, a user can add
__attribute__((used)) to a debug helper function like dump and use it from
a debugger.

with a mixture of promotable and unpromotable selects and phis. Added
a test case for this.

pending speculation for a phi node. The problem here is that we were
using growth of the specluation set as an indicator of whether
speculation would occur, and if the phi node is already in the set we
don't see it grow. This is a symptom of the fact that this signal is
a total hack.
Unfortunately, I couldn't really come up with a non-hacky way of
signaling that promotion remains valid *after* speculation occurs, such
that we only speculate when all else looks good for promotion. In the
end, I went with at least a much more explicit approach of doing the
work of queuing inside the phi and select processing and setting
a preposterously named flag to convey that we're in the special state of
requiring speculating before promotion.
Thanks to Richard Trieu and Nick Lewycky for the excellent work reducing
a testcase for this from a pretty giant, nasty assert in a big
application. =] The testcase was excellent.

We don't have tests for the effect of if-conversion loops because it requires a big test (that includes if-converted loops) and it is difficult to find and balance a loop to do the right thing.
