The original patch removed a bunch of code that the SjLjEHPrepare pass placed
into the entry block if all of the landing pads were removed during the
CodeGenPrepare class. The more natural way of doing things is to run the CGP
*before* we run the SjLjEHPrepare pass.
Make it so!

This option runs LiveIntervals before TwoAddressInstructionPass which
will eventually learn to exploit and update the analysis.
Eventually, LiveIntervals will run before PHIElimination, and we can get
rid of LiveVariables.

This is still a work in progress.
Out-of-order CPUs usually execute instructions from multiple basic
blocks simultaneously, so it is necessary to look at longer traces when
estimating the performance effects of code transformations.
The MachineTraceMetrics analysis will pick a typical trace through a
given basic block and provide performance metrics for the trace. Metrics
will include:
- Instruction count through the trace.
- Issue count per functional unit.
- Critical path length, and per-instruction 'slack'.
These metrics can be used to determine the performance limiting factor
when executing the trace, and how it will be affected by a code
transformation.
Initially, this will be used by the early if-conversion pass.

This pass performs if-conversion on SSA form machine code by
speculatively executing both sides of the branch and using a cmov
instruction to select the result. This can help lower the number of
branch mispredictions on architectures like x86 that don't have
predicable instructions.
The current implementation is very aggressive, and causes regressions on
mosts tests. It needs good heuristics that have yet to be implemented.

This is still a work in progress but I believe it is currently good enough
to fix PR13122 "Need unit test driver for codegen IR passes". For example,
you can run llc with -stop-after=loop-reduce to have it dump out the IR after
running LSR. Serializing machine-level IR is not yet supported but we have
some patches in progress for that.
The plan is to serialize the IR to a YAML file, containing separate sections
for the LLVM IR, machine-level IR, and whatever other info is needed. Chad
suggested that we stash the stop-after pass in the YAML file and use that
instead of the start-after option to figure out where to restart the
compilation. I think that's a great idea, but since it's not implemented yet
I put the -start-after option into this patch for testing purposes.

OK, not really. We don't want to reintroduce the old rewriter hacks.
This patch extracts virtual register rewriting as a separate pass that
runs after the register allocator. This is possible now that
CodeGen/Passes.cpp can configure the full optimizing register allocator
pipeline.
The rewriter pass uses register assignments in VirtRegMap to rewrite
virtual registers to physical registers, and it inserts kill flags based
on live intervals.
These finalization steps are the same for the optimizing register
allocators: RABasic, RAGreedy, and PBQP.

Some targets still mess up the liveness information, but that isn't
verified after MRI->invalidateLiveness().
The verifier can still check other useful things like register classes
and CFG, so it should be enabled after all passes.

The llc command line options for enabling/disabling passes are local to CodeGen/Passes.cpp. This patch associates those options with standard pass IDs so they work regardless of how the target configures the passes.
A target has two ways of overriding standard passes:
1) Redefine the pass pipeline (override TargetPassConfig::add%Stage)
2) Replace or suppress individiual passes with TargetPassConfig::substitutePass.
In both cases, the command line options associated with the pass override the target default.
For example, say a target wants to disable machine instruction scheduling by default:
- The target calls disablePass(MachineSchedulerID) but otherwise does not override any TargetPassConfig methods.
- Without any llc options, no scheduler is run.
- With -enable-misched, the standard machine scheduler is run and honors the -misched=... flag to select the scheduler variant, which may be used for performance evaluation or testing.
Sorry overridePass is ugly. I haven't thought of a better way without replacing the cl::opt framework. I hope to do that one day...
I haven't figured out why CodeGen uses char& for pass IDs. AnalysisID is much easier to use and less bug prone. I'm using it wherever I can for internal implementation. Maybe later we can change the global pass ID definitions as well.

In case the MachineScheduling pass I'm working on doesn't work well
for another target, they can completely override it. This also adds a
hook immediately after the RegAlloc pass to cleanup immediately after
vregs go away. We may want to fold it into the postRA hook later.

Creates a configurable regalloc pipeline.
Ensure specific llc options do what they say and nothing more: -reglloc=... has no effect other than selecting the allocator pass itself. This patch introduces a new umbrella flag, "-optimize-regalloc", to enable/disable the optimizing regalloc "superpass". This allows for example testing coalscing and scheduling under -O0 or vice-versa.
When a CodeGen pass requires the MachineFunction to have a particular property, we need to explicitly define that property so it can be directly queried rather than naming a specific Pass. For example, to check for SSA, use MRI->isSSA, not addRequired<PHIElimination>.
CodeGen transformation passes are never "required" as an analysis
ProcessImplicitDefs does not require LiveVariables.
We have a plan to massively simplify some of the early passes within the regalloc superpass.

opportunities that only present themselves after late optimizations
such as tail duplication .e.g.
## BB#1:
movl %eax, %ecx
movl %ecx, %eax
ret
The register allocator also leaves some of them around (due to false
dep between copies from phi-elimination, etc.)
This required some changes in codegen passes. Post-ra scheduler and the
pseudo-instruction expansion passes have been moved after branch folding
and tail merging. They were before branch folding before because it did
not always update block livein's. That's fixed now. The pass change makes
independently since we want to properly schedule instructions after
branch folding / tail duplication.

the mailing list. Suggestions for other statistics to collect would be
awesome. =]
Currently these are implemented as a separate pass guarded by a separate
flag. I'm not thrilled by that, but I wanted to be able to collect the
statistics for the old code placement as well as the new in order to
have a point of comparison. I'm planning on folding them into the single
pass if / when there is only one pass of interest.

block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing
block-placement pass in LLVM:
1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much
more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the
results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the
pass runs.
2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can
model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well
as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the
analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these
inputs.
3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho
bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout
chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations
which the old pass involves.
The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default
because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it
needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures
much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports
these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace
both of these passes.
Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging
this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm
forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions. Writing
a backend pass is *sooo* much better now than it used to be. =D
