35c163020a Transform: add SymbolRewriter pass
This introduces the symbol rewriter. This is an IR->IR transformation that is
implemented as a CodeGenPrepare pass. This allows for the transparent
adjustment of the symbols during compilation.

It provides a clean, simple, elegant solution for symbol inter-positioning. This
technique is often used, such as in the various sanitizers and performance
analysis.

The control of this is via a custom YAML syntax map file that indicates source
to destination mapping, so as to avoid having the compiler to know the exact
details of the source to destination transformations.

222fcc59cb llvm-symbolizer: teach it about PowerPC64 ELF function descriptors
Summary:
Teach llvm-symbolizer about PowerPC64 ELF function descriptors. Symbols in the .opd section point to function descriptors, the first word of which is a pointer to the real function. For the purposes of symbolizing we pretend that the symbol points directly to the function.

This is enough to get decent function names in stack traces for unoptimized binaries, which fixes the sanitizer print-stack-trace test on PowerPC64 Linux.

893f22f882 Add Position-independent Code model Module API.
Summary:
This makes PIC levels a Module flag attribute, which can be queried by the
backend.  The flag is named `PIC Level`, and can have a value of:

  0 - Backend-default
  1 - Small-model (-fpic)
  2 - Large-model (-fPIC)

These match the `-pic-level' command line argument for clang, and the value of the
preprocessor macro `__PIC__'.

Test Plan:
New flags tests specific for the 'PIC Level' module flag.
Tests to be added as part of a future commit for PowerPC, which will use this new API.

8025a39d11 [PBQP] Tweak spill costs and coalescing benefits
This patch improves how the different costs (register, interference, spill
and coalescing) relates together. The assumption is now that:
 - coalescing (or any other "side effect" of reg alloc) is negative, and
   instead of being derived from a spill cost, they use the block
   frequency info.
 - spill costs are in the [MinSpillCost:+inf( range
 - register or interference costs are in [0.0:MinSpillCost( or +inf

The current MinSpillCost is set to 10.0, which is a random value high
enough that the current constraint builders do not need to worry about
when settings costs. It would however be worth adding a normalization
step for register and interference costs as the last step in the
constraint builder chain to ensure they are not greater than SpillMinCost
(unless this has some sense for some architectures). This would work well
with the current builder pipeline, where all costs are tweaked relatively
to each others, but could grow above MinSpillCost if the pipeline is
deep enough.

The current heuristic is tuned to depend rather on the number of uses of
a live interval rather than a density of uses, as used by the greedy
allocator. This heuristic provides a few percent improvement on a number
of benchmarks (eembc, spec, ...) and will definitely need to change once
spill placement is implemented: the current spill placement is really
ineficient, so making the cost proportionnal to the number of use is a
clear win.

cd9acde7f3 Use AA in LoadCombine
LoadCombine can be smarter about aborting when a writing instruction is
encountered, instead of aborting upon encountering any writing instruction, use
an AliasSetTracker, and only abort when encountering some write that might
alias with the loads that could potentially be combined.

This was originally motivated by comments made (and a test case provided) by
David Majnemer in response to PR21448. It turned out that LoadCombine was not
responsible for that PR, but LoadCombine should also be improved so that
unrelated stores (and @llvm.assume) don't interrupt load combining.

b63d71ef81 Emit .eh_frame with relocations to functions, rather than sections
When LLVM emits DWARF call frame information, it currently creates a local,
section-relative symbol in the code section, which is pointed to by a
relocation on the .eh_frame section. However, for C++ we emit some functions in
section groups, and the SysV ABI has some rules to make it easier to remove
these sections
(http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html#section_group_rules):

  A symbol table entry with STB_LOCAL binding that is defined relative to one
  of a group's sections, and that is contained in a symbol table section that is
  not part of the group, must be discarded if the group members are discarded.
  References to this symbol table entry from outside the group are not allowed.

This means that we need to use the function symbol for the relocation, not a
temporary symbol.

There was a comment in the code claiming that the local symbol was used to
avoid creating a relocation, but a relocation must be created anyway as the
code and CFI are in different sections.

5e4b155521 [tablegen] Add CustomCallingConv and use it to tablegen-erate the outermost parts of the Mips O32 implementation
Summary:
CustomCallingConv is simply a CallingConv that tablegen should not generate the
implementation for. It allows regular CallingConv's to delegate to these custom
functions. This is (currently) necessary for Mips and we cannot use CCCustom
without having to adapt to the different API that CCCustom uses.

This brings us a bit closer to being able to remove
MipsCC::analyzeCallOperands and MipsCC::analyzeFormalArguments in favour of
the common implementation.

No functional change to the targets.

e1a4787d5d Work around bugs in MSVC "14" CTP 3's conversion logic
It appears to ignore or find ambiguous MachineInstrBuilder's conversion
operators that allow conversion to MachineInstr* and
MachineBasicBlock::bundle_iterator.

As a workaround, add an explicit way to get the MachineInstr.

fc46c68310 Define LLVM_NOEXCEPT with MSVC 14 CTP 3 or newer
We have to use _MSC_FULL_VER here as CTP 2 and earlier didn't define

2d32816a45 [PowerPC] Initial VSX intrinsic support, with min/max for vector double
Now that we have initial support for VSX, we can begin adding
intrinsics for programmer access to VSX instructions.  This patch adds
basic support for VSX intrinsics in general, and tests it by
implementing intrinsics for minimum and maximum for the vector double
data type.

The LLVM portion of this is quite straightforward.  There is a
companion patch for Clang.

9b6ca9304c [CodeGenPrepare] Move extractelement close to store if they can be combined.
This patch adds an optimization in CodeGenPrepare to move an extractelement
right before a store when the target can combine them.
The optimization may promote any scalar operations to vector operations in the
way to make that possible.


** Context **

Some targets use different register files for both vector and scalar operations.
This means that transitioning from one domain to another may incur copy from one
register file to another. These copies are not coalescable and may be expensive.
For example, according to the scheduling model, on cortex-A8 a vector to GPR
move is 20 cycles.


** Motivating Example **

Let us consider an example:
define void @foo(<2 x i32>* %addr1, i32* %dest) {
 %in1 = load <2 x i32>* %addr1, align 8
 %extract = extractelement <2 x i32> %in1, i32 1
 %out = or i32 %extract, 1
 store i32 %out, i32* %dest, align 4
 ret void
}

As it is, this IR generates the following assembly on armv7:
  vldr  d16, [r0]            @vector load  
  vmov.32 r0, d16[1]  @ cross-register-file copy: 20 cycles
  orr r0, r0, #1           @ scalar bitwise or
  str r0, [r1]               @ scalar store
  bx  lr

Whereas we could generate much faster code:
  vldr  d16, [r0]               @ vector load
  vorr.i32  d16, #0x1     @ vector bitwise or
  vst1.32 {d16[1]}, [r1:32] @ vector extract + store
  bx  lr

Half of the computation made in the vector is useless, but this allows to get
rid of the expensive cross-register-file copy.


** Proposed Solution **

To avoid this cross-register-copy penalty, we promote the scalar operations to
vector operations. The penalty will be removed if we manage to promote the whole
chain of computation in the vector domain.
Currently, we do that only when the chain of computation ends by a store and the
target is able to combine an extract with a store.

Stores are the most likely candidates, because other instructions produce values
that would need to be promoted and so, extracted as some point[1]. Moreover,
this is customary that targets feature stores that perform a vector extract (see
AArch64 and X86 for instance).

The proposed implementation relies on the TargetTransformInfo to decide whether
or not it is beneficial to promote a chain of computation in the vector domain.
Unfortunately, this interface is rather inaccurate for this level of details and
although this optimization may be beneficial for X86 and AArch64, the inaccuracy
will lead to the optimization being too aggressive.
Basically in TargetTransformInfo, everything that is legal has a cost of 1,
whereas, even if a vector type is legal, usually a vector operation is slightly
more expensive than its scalar counterpart. That will lead to too many
promotions that may not be counter balanced by the saving of the
cross-register-file copy. For instance, on AArch64 this penalty is just 4
cycles.

For now, the optimization is just enabled for ARM prior than v8, since those
processors have a larger penalty on cross-register-file copies, and the scope is
limited to basic blocks. Because of these two factors, we limit the effects of
the inaccuracy. Indeed, I did not want to build up a fancy cost model with block
frequency and everything on top of that.

[1] We can imagine targets that can combine an extractelement with  other
instructions than just stores. If we want to go into that direction, the current
interfaces must be augmented and, moreover, I think this becomes a global isel
problem.
