This is based on Bill Wendling's email. No additional content has been added,
but now there's a place for Attributes to capture future information.

This updates the current references to links that work for me.
In the future, we should update the list of references itself to provide
information on newer architecture variants.
Thanks to Sean Silva for pointing out that the current links were broken!

Attribute groups are of the form:
#0 = attributes { noinline "no-sse" "cpu"="cortex-a8" alignstack=4 }
Target-dependent attributes are represented as strings. Attributes can have
optional values associated with them. E.g., the "cpu" attribute has the value
"cortex-a8".
Target-independent attributes are listed as enums inside the attribute classes.
Multiple attribute groups can be referenced by the same object. In that case,
the attributes are merged together.

Current practice is not to use 'inline' in:

Makefile.config.
This is implied at the bottom of the help text of configure (besides
CC/CXX/LDFLAGS, already passed to Makefile.config).
For backward compatibility, the values of CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS defaults
to empty, overriding the default values provided by autoconf (for
example, '-g -O2' when CC=gcc').
$(CPP) is not used by our makefiles. Therefore, the value of CPP is
not passed to Makefile.config, despite beeing mentioned by 'configure
--help'.

GlobalVariable about LLVM's assumptions vis-a-vis Global Variable
initial values and Global Variable initializers.
This is in preparation for adding the new keyword
externally_initialized.
Specifically, the patch explains how LLVM optimizes global initializers
by assumign that global variables defined within the module are not
modified from their initial values before the start of the global
initializer.

My "excuse" for not refactoring the grammar here is to not diverge too
far from the grammar in the comments of TGParser.cpp, since I'm not
taking on the quest of majorly refactoring TGParser.cpp at the moment.
One benefit of doing this is that Ideas for refactoring and clarifying
the grammar in this document should translate almost immediately to
beneficial refactorings that can be made to TGParser.cpp.

This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.

prevent an llvm developer from mistakenly thinking that just because the
intrinsic has volatile flags that volatile operations can be converted
to or folded into them.
Platforms may rely on volatile loads and stores of natively supported
data width to be executed as single instruction. When compiling
C, this expectation likely holds for l-values of volatile primitive
types with native hardware support, but not necessarily for aggregate
types. The frontend upholds these expectations, which are not
specified in the IR.

The requirements of the strong heuristic are:
* A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of
type or length.
* A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which
contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to
the depth of nesting.
* A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack
based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is
taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as
part of a function argument.)

SSPStrong applies a heuristic to insert stack protectors in these situations:
* A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of
type or length.
* A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which
contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to
the depth of nesting.
* A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack
based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is
taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as
part of a function argument.)

SSPRequired. This will change in a subsequent patch.

This change also removes a bunch of boilerplate and stuffing which made
it unnecessarily hard to navigate and see the comparatively miniscule
actual content that was added to this document during the 3.2
development period (or maybe even sticking around from earlier
releases...).
The new organization (a flat list) optimizes for making it easy for
people who know about changes to add them to the document. It's
completely trivial for anyone with basic knowledge of LLVM to come in
later (such as when preparing for the actual release) and cluster any
changes into logical groups. However, I have left some comments
indicating how to add larger descriptions, if someone is feeling
adventurous ;)
Hopefully this organization will highlight how little effort is being
put into producing accurate, high-quality release notes, prompting a
corresponding improvement for the 3.3 release.
I have preserved the changes to this document that are not present
in the 3.2 release notes. There were only two... I'm pretty sure we've
been busier than that... (version control shows +213347/-173656 raw
lines just in the LLVM repo since the 3.2 release).

For whatever reason the usage of '^^^' and '---' adornments were
reversed compared to the "canonical" style of the LLVM docs (which is
currently "the style used in SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst"). This change
doesn't affect the document structure at all, I'm just doing it for
trivial stylistic consistency (the document content is *much* more
important---thanks Nadav for writing this up!).
Also, trim the adornments to be the same length as the section names.

NOTE: If you have any patches in the works that modify LangRef, you will
need to rewrite the changes to LangRef.html to their equivalents in
LangRef.rst. If you need assistance feel free to contact me.
Since LangRef is mission-critical for the project and "normative", I
have taken extra care to ensure that no content was lost or altered in
the conversion. The content was converted with a tool called `pandoc`,
so there is no chance for a human error like accidentally forgetting a
sentence or whatever. After the initial conversion by `pandoc`, only
changes to the markup were done.
This is just the most literal conversion of the HTML document as
possible. It might be worth exploring some way to chop up this massive
document into separate pages, e.g. something like
`docs/LangRef/Instructions.rst`, `docs/LangRef/Intrinsics.rst`, etc.
with `docs/LangRef.rst` being an "intro/navigation page" of sorts. On
the other hand, that loses the ability to {Ctrl,Cmd}-F for a given term
right from your browser.
IMO, I think our stylesheet needs some work because I find it hard to
tell what level of nesting some of the headings are at (e.g. "is this a
new section or is it a subsection?"). The issue is present on other
pages, but the sheer size and deep section structure of LangRef really
brings this issue out. If there are any web designers out there in the
community it would be awesome if you tried to come up with something
nicer.

Sorry for the massive commit, but I just wanted to knock this one down
and it is really straightforward.
There are still a couple trivial (i.e. not related to the content)
things left to fix:
- Use of raw HTML links where :doc:`...` and :ref:`...` could be used
instead. If you are a newbie and want to help fix this it would make
for some good bite-sized patches; more experienced developers should
be focusing on adding new content (to this tutorial or elsewhere, but
please _do not_ waste your time on formatting when there is such dire
need for documentation (see docs/SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst to get
started writing)).
- Highlighting of the kaleidoscope code blocks (currently left as bare
`::`). I will be working on writing a custom Pygments highlighter for
this, mostly as training for maintaining the `llvm` code-block's lexer
in-tree. I want to do this because I am extremely unhappy with how it
just "gives up" on the slightest deviation from the expected syntax
and leaves the whole code-block un-highlighted.
More generally I am looking at writing some Sphinx extensions and
keeping them in-tree as well, to support common use cases that
currently have no good solution (like "monospace text inside a link").
