The llc command line options for enabling/disabling passes are local to CodeGen/Passes.cpp. This patch associates those options with standard pass IDs so they work regardless of how the target configures the passes.
A target has two ways of overriding standard passes:
1) Redefine the pass pipeline (override TargetPassConfig::add%Stage)
2) Replace or suppress individiual passes with TargetPassConfig::substitutePass.
In both cases, the command line options associated with the pass override the target default.
For example, say a target wants to disable machine instruction scheduling by default:
- The target calls disablePass(MachineSchedulerID) but otherwise does not override any TargetPassConfig methods.
- Without any llc options, no scheduler is run.
- With -enable-misched, the standard machine scheduler is run and honors the -misched=... flag to select the scheduler variant, which may be used for performance evaluation or testing.
Sorry overridePass is ugly. I haven't thought of a better way without replacing the cl::opt framework. I hope to do that one day...
I haven't figured out why CodeGen uses char& for pass IDs. AnalysisID is much easier to use and less bug prone. I'm using it wherever I can for internal implementation. Maybe later we can change the global pass ID definitions as well.

In case the MachineScheduling pass I'm working on doesn't work well
for another target, they can completely override it. This also adds a
hook immediately after the RegAlloc pass to cleanup immediately after
vregs go away. We may want to fold it into the postRA hook later.

Creates a configurable regalloc pipeline.
Ensure specific llc options do what they say and nothing more: -reglloc=... has no effect other than selecting the allocator pass itself. This patch introduces a new umbrella flag, "-optimize-regalloc", to enable/disable the optimizing regalloc "superpass". This allows for example testing coalscing and scheduling under -O0 or vice-versa.
When a CodeGen pass requires the MachineFunction to have a particular property, we need to explicitly define that property so it can be directly queried rather than naming a specific Pass. For example, to check for SSA, use MRI->isSSA, not addRequired<PHIElimination>.
CodeGen transformation passes are never "required" as an analysis
ProcessImplicitDefs does not require LiveVariables.
We have a plan to massively simplify some of the early passes within the regalloc superpass.

Moving toward a uniform style of pass definition to allow easier target configuration.
Globally declare Pass ID.
Globally declare pass initializer.
Use INITIALIZE_PASS consistently.
Add a call to the initializer from CodeGen.cpp.
Remove redundant "createPass" functions and "getPassName" methods.
While cleaning up declarations, cleaned up comments (sorry for large diff).

Allows command line overrides to be centralized in LLVMTargetMachine.cpp.
LLVMTargetMachine can intercept common passes and give precedence to command line overrides.
Allows adding "internal" target configuration options without touching TargetOptions.
Encapsulates the PassManager.
Provides a good point to initialize all CodeGen passes so that Pass ID's can be used in APIs.
Allows modifying the target configuration hooks without rebuilding the world.

opportunities that only present themselves after late optimizations
such as tail duplication .e.g.
## BB#1:
movl %eax, %ecx
movl %ecx, %eax
ret
The register allocator also leaves some of them around (due to false
dep between copies from phi-elimination, etc.)
This required some changes in codegen passes. Post-ra scheduler and the
pseudo-instruction expansion passes have been moved after branch folding
and tail merging. They were before branch folding before because it did
not always update block livein's. That's fixed now. The pass change makes
independently since we want to properly schedule instructions after
branch folding / tail duplication.

the mailing list. Suggestions for other statistics to collect would be
awesome. =]
Currently these are implemented as a separate pass guarded by a separate
flag. I'm not thrilled by that, but I wanted to be able to collect the
statistics for the old code placement as well as the new in order to
have a point of comparison. I'm planning on folding them into the single
pass if / when there is only one pass of interest.

block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing
block-placement pass in LLVM:
1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much
more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the
results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the
pass runs.
2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can
model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well
as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the
analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these
inputs.
3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho
bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout
chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations
which the old pass involves.
The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default
because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it
needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures
much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports
these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace
both of these passes.
Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging
this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm
forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions. Writing
a backend pass is *sooo* much better now than it used to be. =D

trivial test changes.
The pass will be moved to lib/CodeGen shortly.

This pass precomputes CFG block frequency information that can be used by the
register allocator to find optimal spill code placement.
Given an interference pattern, placeSpills() will compute which basic blocks
should have the current variable enter or exit in a register, and which blocks
prefer the stack.
The algorithm is ready to consume block frequencies from profiling data, but for
now it gets by with the static estimates used for spill weights.
This is a work in progress and still not hooked up to RegAllocGreedy.

The analysis will be needed by both the greedy register allocator and the
X86FloatingPoint pass. It only needs to be computed once when the CFG doesn't
change.
This pass is very fast, usually showing up as 0.0% wall time.

A MachineLoopRange contains the intervals of slot indexes covered by the blocks
in a loop. This representation of the loop blocks is more efficient to compare
against interfering registers during register coalescing.

receive all of the tricks that RegAllocBasic won't get.

framework. It's purpose is not to improve register allocation per se,
but to make it easier to develop powerful live range splitting. I call
it the basic allocator because it is as simple as a global allocator
can be but provides the building blocks for sophisticated register
allocation with live range splitting.
A minimal implementation is provided that trivially spills whenever it
runs out of registers. I'm checking in now to get high-level design
and style feedback. I've only done minimal testing. The next step is
implementing a "greedy" allocation algorithm that does some register
reassignment and makes better splitting decisions.

Allocator instances can now be created by calling createPBQPRegisterAllocator.
Tidied up use of CoalescerPair as per Jakob's suggestions.

experimental pass that allocates locals relative to one another before
register allocation and then assigns them to actual stack slots as a block
later in PEI. This will eventually allow targets with limited index offset
range to allocate additional base registers (not just FP and SP) to
more efficiently reference locals, as well as handle situations where
locals cannot be referenced via SP or FP at all (dynamic stack realignment
together with variable sized objects, for example). It's currently
incomplete and almost certainly buggy. Work in progress.
Disabled by default and gated via the -enable-local-stack-alloc command
line option.

This pass tries to remove comparison instructions when possible. For instance,
if you have this code:
sub r1, 1
cmp r1, 0
bz L1
and "sub" either sets the same flag as the "cmp" instruction or could be
converted to set the same flag, then we can eliminate the "cmp" instruction all
together. This is a important for ARM where the ALU instructions could set the
CPSR flag, but need a special suffix ('s') to do so.
