Currently, there's a single flag, checked by the pass itself.
It can't force-enable the pass (and is on by default), because it
might not even have been created, as that's the targets decision.
Instead, have separate explicit flags, so that the decision is
consistently made in the target.
Keep the flag as a last-resort "force-disable GlobalMerge" for now,
for backwards compatibility.

The pass used to be enabled by default with CodeGenOpt::Less (-O1).
This is too aggressive, considering the pass indiscriminately merges
all globals together.
Currently, performance doesn't always improve, and, on code that uses
few globals (e.g., the odd file- or function- static), more often than
not is degraded by the optimization. Lengthy discussion can be found
on llvmdev (AArch64-focused; ARM has similar problems):
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-February/082800.html
Also, it makes tooling and debuggers less useful when dealing with
globals and data sections.
GlobalMerge needs to better identify those cases that benefit, and this
will be done separately. In the meantime, move the pass to run with
-O3 rather than -O1, on both ARM and AArch64.

Similar to gep (r230786) and load (r230794) changes.
Similar migration script can be used to update test cases, which
successfully migrated all of LLVM and Polly, but about 4 test cases
needed manually changes in Clang.
(this script will read the contents of stdin and massage it into stdout
- wrap it in the 'apply.sh' script shown in previous commits + xargs to
apply it over a large set of test cases)

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

This commit is to improve global merge pass and support global symbol merge.
The global symbol merge is not enabled by default. For aarch64, we need some
more back-end fix to make it really benifit ADRP CSE.

This reverts commit r208934.
The patch depends on aliases to GEPs with non zero offsets. That is not
supported and fairly broken.
The good news is that GlobalAlias is being redesigned and will have support
for offsets, so this patch should be a nice match for it.

This commit implements two command line switches -global-merge-on-external
and -global-merge-aligned, and both of them are false by default, so this
optimization is disabled by default for all targets.
For ARM64, some back-end behaviors need to be tuned to get this optimization
further enabled.
