Alias with unnamed_addr were in a strange state. It is stored in GlobalValue,
the language reference talks about "unnamed_addr aliases" but the verifier
was rejecting them.
It seems natural to allow unnamed_addr in aliases:
* It is a property of how it is accessed, not of the data itself.
* It is perfectly possible to write code that depends on the address
of an alias.
This patch then makes unname_addr legal for aliases. One side effect is that
the syntax changes for a corner case: In globals, unnamed_addr is now printed
before the address space.

It includes a pass that rewrites all indirect calls to jumptable functions to pass through these tables.
This also adds backend support for generating the jump-instruction tables on ARM and X86.
Note that since the jumptable attribute creates a second function pointer for a
function, any function marked with jumptable must also be marked with unnamed_addr.

This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.

There is no std::error_code::success, so this removes much of the noise

They are replaced with the same IR that is generated for the
vector-initializers in avxintrin.h.
The test verifies that we get back the original instruction. I haven't seen
this approach to be used in other auto-upgrade tests (i.e. llc + FileCheck)
but I think it's the most direct way to test this case. I believe this should
work because llc upgrades calls during parsing. (Other tests mostly check
that assembling and disassembling yields the upgraded IR.)

This matches gcc's behavior. It also seems natural given that aliases
contain other properties that govern how it is accessed (linkage,
visibility, dll storage).
Clang still has to be updated to expose this feature to C.

Summary:
This patch moves the handling of -pass-remarks* over to
lib/DiagnosticInfo.cpp. This allows the removal of the
optimizationRemarkEnabledFor functions from LLVMContextImpl, as they're
not needed anymore.

Summary:
This adds two new diagnostics: -pass-remarks-missed and
-pass-remarks-analysis. They take the same values as -pass-remarks but
are intended to be triggered in different contexts.
-pass-remarks-missed is used by LLVMContext::emitOptimizationRemarkMissed,
which passes call when they tried to apply a transformation but
couldn't.
-pass-remarks-analysis is used by LLVMContext::emitOptimizationRemarkAnalysis,
which passes call when they want to inform the user about analysis
results.
The patch also:
1- Adds support in the inliner for the two new remarks and a
test case.
2- Moves emitOptimizationRemark* functions to the llvm namespace.
3- Adds an LLVMContext argument instead of making them member functions
of LLVMContext.

This allows us to put dynamic initializers for weak data into the same
comdat group as the data being initialized. This is necessary for MSVC
ABI compatibility. Once we have comdats for guard variables, we can use
the combination to help GlobalOpt fire more often for weak data with
guarded initialization on other platforms.

This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.

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.

Sometimes a LLVM compilation may take more time then a client would like to
wait for. The problem is that it is not possible to safely suspend the LLVM
thread from the outside. When the timing is bad it might be possible that the
LLVM thread holds a global mutex and this would block any progress in any other
thread.
This commit adds a new yield callback function that can be registered with a
context. LLVM will try to yield by calling this callback function, but there is
no guaranteed frequency. LLVM will only do so if it can guarantee that
suspending the thread won't block any forward progress in other LLVM contexts
in the same process.
Once the client receives the call back it can suspend the thread safely and
resume it at another time.

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.

further enabled.

This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.

This reverts commit r200561.
This calling convention was an attempt to match the MSVC C++ ABI for
methods that return structures by value. This solution didn't scale,
because it would have required splitting every CC available on Windows
into two: one for methods and one for free functions.
Now that we can put sret on the second arg (r208453), and Clang does
that (r208458), revert this hack.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@208459 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
MSVC always places the implicit sret parameter after the implicit this
parameter of instance methods. We used to handle this for
x86_thiscallcc by allocating the sret parameter on the stack and leaving
the this pointer in ecx, but that doesn't handle alternative calling
conventions like cdecl, stdcall, fastcall, or the win64 convention.
Instead, change the verifier to allow sret on the second parameter.
This also requires changing the Mips and X86 backends to return the
argument with the sret parameter, instead of assuming that the sret
parameter comes first.
The Sparc backend also returns sret parameters in a register, but I
wasn't able to update it to handle secondary sret parameters. It
currently calls report_fatal_error if you feed it an sret in the second
parameter.

If the source files referenced by a gcno file are missing, gcov
outputs a coverage file where every line is simply /*EOF*/. This also

Summary:
When I initially introduced -pass-remarks, I thought it would be a
neat idea to make it additive. So, if one used it as:
$ llc -pass-remarks=inliner --pass-remarks=loop.*
the compiler would build the regular expression '(inliner)|(loop.*)'.
The more I think about it, the more I regret it. This is not how
other flags work. The standard semantics are right-to-left overrides.
This is how clang interprets -Rpass. And I think the two should be
compatible in this respect.
