11af4b49b2 Add a dereferenceable attribute
This attribute indicates that the parameter or return pointer is
dereferenceable. Practically speaking, loads from such a pointer within the
associated byte range are safe to speculatively execute. Such pointer
parameters are common in source languages (C++ references, for example).

fe47ebfad3 Add 'nonnull', a new parameter and return attribute which indicates that the pointer is not null. Instcombine will elide comparisons between these and null. Patch by Luqman Aden!

ec0f0bc6af [C++11] More 'nullptr' conversion or in some cases just using a boolean check instead of comparing to nullptr.

3cbfa1617f Add an inalloca flag to allocas
Summary:
The only current use of this flag is to mark the alloca as dynamic, even
if its in the entry block.  The stack adjustment for the alloca can
never be folded into the prologue because the call may clear it and it
has to be allocated at the top of the stack.

4b70bfc905 Begin adding docs and IR-level support for the inalloca attribute
The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI.  It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied.  This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.

This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification.  It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.

When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

dc89737bcd Extend 'readonly' and 'readnone' to work on function arguments as well as
functions. Make the function attributes pass add it to known library functions
and when it can deduce it.

456ca048af Add CodeGen support for functions that always return arguments via a new parameter attribute 'returned', which is taken advantage of in target-independent tail call opportunity detection and in ARM call lowering (when placed on an integral first parameter).

28d65722d6 Remove the last of uses that use the Attribute object as a collection of attributes.
Collections of attributes are handled via the AttributeSet class now. This
finally frees us up to make significant changes to how attributes are structured.

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.
