This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.

Use memory barriers to force if-conversion off for these tests instead of
the internal llc command line option ifcvt-limit.

The normal tBX instruction is predicable, so there's no reason the
pseudos for using it as a return shouldn't be. Gives us some nice code-gen
improvements as can be seen by the test changes. In particular, several
tests now have to disable if-conversion because it works too well and defeats
the test.

beneficial cases. See the changes in test/CodeGen/X86/tail-opts.ll and
test/CodeGen/ARM/ifcvt2.ll for details.
The fix is to change HashEndOfMBB to hash at most one instruction,
instead of trying to apply heuristics about when it will be profitable to
consider more than one instruction. The regular tail-merging heuristics
are already prepared to handle the same cases, and they're more precise.
Also, make test/CodeGen/ARM/ifcvt5.ll and
test/CodeGen/Thumb2/thumb2-branch.ll slightly more complex so that they
continue to test what they're intended to test.
And, this eliminates the problem in
test/CodeGen/Thumb2/2009-10-15-ITBlockBranch.ll, the testcase from
PR5204. Update it accordingly.
