"Writing an LLVM Compiler Backend" can be misinterpreted as meaning
"backend" in the sense of "using LLVM as a backend for your compiler for
your new language". This new name is less ambiguous.
As a bonus, this brings the title in line with the file name.

This patch modifies TableGen to generate a function in
${TARGET}GenInstrInfo.inc called getNamedOperandIdx(), which can be used
to look up indices for operands based on their names.
In order to activate this feature for an instruction, you must set the
UseNamedOperandTable bit.
For example, if you have an instruction like:
def ADD : TargetInstr <(outs GPR:$dst), (ins GPR:$src0, GPR:$src1)>;
You can look up the operand indices using the new function, like this:
Target::getNamedOperandIdx(Target::ADD, Target::OpName::dst) => 0
Target::getNamedOperandIdx(Target::ADD, Target::OpName::src0) => 1
Target::getNamedOperandIdx(Target::ADD, Target::OpName::src1) => 2
The operand names are case sensitive, so $dst and $DST are considered
different operands.
This change is useful for R600 which has instructions with a large number
of operands, many of which model single bit instruction configuration
values. These configuration bits are common across most instructions,
but may have a different operand index depending on the instruction type.
It is useful to have a convenient way to look up the operand indices,
so these bits can be generically set on any instruction.

Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

The effect of llvm.used is to introduce an invisible reference, so this seems
a reasonable restriction. It will be used to provide an easy ordering of

- llvm.loop.parallel metadata has been renamed to llvm.loop to be more generic
by making the root of additional loop metadata.
- Loop::isAnnotatedParallel now looks for llvm.loop and associated
llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access
- document llvm.loop and update llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access
- add support for llvm.vectorizer.width and llvm.vectorizer.unroll
- document llvm.vectorizer.* metadata
- add utility class LoopVectorizerHints for getting/setting loop metadata
- use llvm.vectorizer.width=1 to indicate already vectorized instead of
already_vectorized
- update existing tests that used llvm.loop.parallel and
llvm.vectorizer.already_vectorized

Other than recognizing the attribute, the patch does little else.
It changes the branch probability analyzer so that edges into
blocks postdominated by a cold function are given low weight.
Added analysis and code generation tests. Added documentation for the

This implements the @llvm.readcyclecounter intrinsic as the specific
MRC instruction specified in the ARM manuals for CPUs with the Power
Management extensions.
Older CPUs had slightly different methods which may also have to be
implemented eventually, but this should cover all v7 cases.

Summary:
This patch allows using \n inside long help strings for command-line
options, so that all lines are equally indented. This is not a perfect solution,
as we don't (and probably don't want to) know about terminal width, but it
allows to format long help strings somehow readable without manually padding
them with spaces. A motivating example is -help output from clang-format (source
code in tools/clang-format/ClangFormat.cpp, see cl options offset, length,
style, and dump-config).

Add support for the COFF relocation types IMAGE_REL_I386_DIR32NB and
IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32NB for 32- and 64-bit respectively. These are
similar to normal 4-byte relocations except that they do not include
the base address of the image.
Image-relative relocations are used for debug information (32-bit) and
SEH unwind tables (64-bit).
A new MCSymbolRef variant called 'VK_COFF_IMGREL32' is introduced to
specify such relocations. For AT&T assembly, this variant can be accessed
using the symbol suffix '@imgrel'.

Nobody says "the developer's list" or "commits archive"; they always say
"llvmdev" or "llvm-commits". It makes sense for our documentation to

std::lower_bound is the canonical "binary search" in the STL
(std::binary_search generally is not what you want). The name actually
makes a lot of sense (and also has a beautiful symmetry with the
std::upper_bound algorithm). The name is nonetheless non-obvious.
Also, remove mention of "radix search". It's not even clear how that
would work in the context of a sorted vector. AFAIK "radix search" only
makes sense when you have a trie-like data structure.

DAG arguments can optionally be named:
(dag node, node:$name)
With this change, the node is also optional:
(dag node, node:$name, $name)
The missing node is treated as an UnsetInit, so the above is equivalent
to:
(dag node, node:$name, ?:$name)
This syntax is useful in output patterns where we currently require the
types of variables to be repeated:
def : Pat<(subc i32:$b, i32:$c), (SUBCCrr i32:$b, i32:$c)>;
This is preferable:
def : Pat<(subc i32:$b, i32:$c), (SUBCCrr $b, $c)>;

of complex instruction operands (e.g. address modes).
Currently, if a Pat pattern creates an instruction that has a complex
operand (i.e. one that consists of multiple sub-operands at the MI
level), this operand must match a ComplexPattern DAG pattern with the
correct number of output operands.
This commit extends TableGen to alternatively allow match a complex
operands against multiple separate operands at the DAG level.
This allows using Pat patterns to match pre-increment nodes like
pre_store (which must have separate operands at the DAG level) onto
an instruction pattern that uses a multi-operand memory operand,
like the following example on PowerPC (will be committed as a
follow-on patch):
def STWU : DForm_1<37, (outs ptr_rc:$ea_res), (ins GPRC:$rS, memri:$dst),
"stwu $rS, $dst", LdStStoreUpd, []>,
RegConstraint<"$dst.reg = $ea_res">, NoEncode<"$ea_res">;
def : Pat<(pre_store GPRC:$rS, ptr_rc:$ptrreg, iaddroff:$ptroff),
(STWU GPRC:$rS, iaddroff:$ptroff, ptr_rc:$ptrreg)>;
Here, the pair of "ptroff" and "ptrreg" operands is matched onto the
complex operand "dst" of class "memri" in the "STWU" instruction.

These are two related changes (one in llvm, one in clang).
LLVM:
- rename address_safety => sanitize_address (the enum value is the same, so we preserve binary compatibility with old bitcode)
- rename thread_safety => sanitize_thread
- rename no_uninitialized_checks -> sanitize_memory
CLANG:
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_address)) as a synonym for __attribute__((no_address_safety_analysis))
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_thread))
- add __attribute__((no_sanitize_memory))
for S in address thread memory
If -fsanitize=S is present and __attribute__((no_sanitize_S)) is not
set llvm attribute sanitize_S
