This changes the SelectionDAG scheduling preference to source
order. Soon, the SelectionDAG scheduler can be bypassed saving
a nice chunk of compile time.
Performance differences that result from this change are often a
consequence of register coalescing. The register coalescer is far from
perfect. Bugs can be filed for deficiencies.
On x86 SandyBridge/Haswell, the source order schedule is often
preserved, particularly for small blocks.
Register pressure is generally improved over the SD scheduler's ILP
mode. However, we are still able to handle large blocks that require
latency hiding, unlike the SD scheduler's BURR mode. MI scheduler also
attempts to discover the critical path in single-block loops and
adjust heuristics accordingly.
The MI scheduler relies on the new machine model. This is currently
unimplemented for AVX, so we may not be generating the best code yet.
Unit tests are updated so they don't depend on SD scheduling heuristics.

The previous change to local live range allocation also suppressed
eviction of local ranges. In rare cases, this could result in more
expensive register choices. This commit actually revives a feature
that I added long ago: check if live ranges can be reassigned before
eviction. But now it only happens in rare cases of evicting a local
live range because another local live range wants a cheaper register.
The benefit is improved code size for some benchmarks on x86 and armv7.
I measured no significant compile time increase and performance
changes are noise.

Also avoid locals evicting locals just because they want a cheaper register.
Problem: MI Sched knows exactly how many registers we have and assumes
they can be colored. In cases where we have large blocks, usually from
unrolled loops, greedy coloring fails. This is a source of
"regressions" from the MI Scheduler on x86. I noticed this issue on
x86 where we have long chains of two-address defs in the same live
range. It's easy to see this in matrix multiplication benchmarks like
IRSmk and even the unit test misched-matmul.ll.
A fundamental difference between the LLVM register allocator and
conventional graph coloring is that in our model a live range can't
discover its neighbors, it can only verify its neighbors. That's why
we initially went for greedy coloring and added eviction to deal with
the hard cases. However, for singly defined and two-address live
ranges, we can optimally color without visiting neighbors simply by
processing the live ranges in instruction order.
Other beneficial side effects:
It is much easier to understand and debug regalloc for large blocks
when the live ranges are allocated in order. Yes, global allocation is
still very confusing, but it's nice to be able to comprehend what
happened locally.
Heuristics could be added to bias register assignment based on
instruction locality (think late register pairing, banks...).
Intuituvely this will make some test cases that are on the threshold
of register pressure more stable.

This script catches a superset of the cases caught by the script associated with commit r186280. It initially found some false positives due to unusual constructs in a minority of tests; all such cases were disambiguated first in commit r186621.

IR optimisation passes can result in a basic block that contains:
llvm.lifetime.start(%buf)
...
llvm.lifetime.end(%buf)
...
llvm.lifetime.start(%buf)
Before this change, calculateLiveIntervals() was ignoring the second
lifetime.start() and was regarding %buf as being dead from the
lifetime.end() through to the end of the basic block. This can cause
StackColoring to incorrectly merge %buf with another stack slot.
Fix by removing the incorrect Starts[pos].isValid() and
Finishes[pos].isValid() checks.
Just doing:
Starts[pos] = Indexes->getMBBStartIdx(MBB);
Finishes[pos] = Indexes->getMBBEndIdx(MBB);
unconditionally would be enough to fix the bug, but it causes some
test failures due to stack slots not being merged when they were
before. So, in order to keep the existing tests passing, treat LiveIn
and LiveOut separately rather than approximating the live ranges by
merging LiveIn and LiveOut.
This fixes PR15707.

are within the lifetime zone. Sometime legitimate usages of allocas are
hoisted outside of the lifetime zone. For example, GEPS may calculate the
address of a member of an allocated struct. This commit makes sure that
we only check (abort regions or assert) for instructions that read and write
memory using stack frames directly. Notice that by allowing legitimate
usages outside the lifetime zone we also stop checking for instructions
which use derivatives of allocas. We will catch less bugs in user code
and in the compiler itself.

The input program may contain intructions which are not inside lifetime
markers. This can happen due to a bug in the compiler or due to a bug in
user code (for example, returning a reference to a local variable).
This commit adds checks that all of the instructions in the function and
invalidates lifetime ranges which do not contain all of the instructions.
