This doesn't pass 'ninja check-llvm' for me. Lots of tests, including
the ones updated, fail with crashes and other explosions.

49ab3a626a EH: Prune unreachable resume instructions during Dwarf EH preparation
Today a simple function that only catches exceptions and doesn't run
destructor cleanups ends up containing a dead call to _Unwind_Resume
(PR20300). We can't remove these dead resume instructions during normal
optimization because inlining might introduce additional landingpads
that do have cleanups to run. Instead we can do this during EH
preparation, which is guaranteed to run after inlining.

Fixes PR20300.

a6a87b595d [PM] Change the core design of the TTI analysis to use a polymorphic
type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.

The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.

I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.

There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.

The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.

Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.

The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]

Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:

1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
   a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
   and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
   of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
   a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
   This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
   sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
   target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
   of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
   easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
   easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
   just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
   the TTI in each target.

Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

21befa7761 Insert random noops to increase security against ROP attacks (llvm)
A pass that adds random noops to X86 binaries to introduce diversity with the goal of increasing security against most return-oriented programming attacks.

Command line options:
  -noop-insertion // Enable noop insertion.
  -noop-insertion-percentage=X // X% of assembly instructions will have a noop prepended (default: 50%, requires -noop-insertion)
  -max-noops-per-instruction=X // Randomly generate X noops per instruction. ie. roll the dice X times with probability set above (default: 1). This doesn't guarantee X noop instructions.

In addition, the following 'quick switch' in clang enables basic diversity using default settings (currently: noop insertion and schedule randomization; it is intended to be extended in the future).
  -fdiversify

This is the llvm part of the patch.

b0b708854e MachineCombiner Pass for selecting faster instruction
sequence -  target independent framework

 When the DAGcombiner selects instruction sequences
 it could increase the critical path or resource len.

 For example, on arm64 there are multiply-accumulate instructions (madd,
 msub). If e.g. the equivalent  multiply-add sequence is not on the
 crictial path it makes sense to select it instead of  the combined,
 single accumulate instruction (madd/msub). The reason is that the
 conversion from add+mul to the madd could lengthen the critical path
 by the latency of the multiply.

 But the DAGCombiner would always combine and select the madd/msub
 instruction.

 This patch uses machine trace metrics to estimate critical path length
 and resource length of an original instruction sequence vs a combined
 instruction sequence and picks the faster code based on its estimates.

 This patch only commits the target independent framework that evaluates
 and selects code sequences. The machine instruction combiner is turned
 off for all targets and expected to evolve over time by gradually
 handling DAGCombiner pattern in the target specific code.

 This framework lays the groundwork for fixing

Still only 32-bit ARM using it at this stage, but the promotion allows

aaecc0fc08 [Stackmap] Liveness Analysis Pass
This optional register liveness analysis pass can be enabled with either
-enable-stackmap-liveness, -enable-patchpoint-liveness, or both. The pass
traverses each basic block in a machine function. For each basic block the
instructions are processed in reversed order and if a patchpoint or stackmap
instruction is encountered the current live-out register set is encoded as a
register mask and attached to the instruction.

Later on during stackmap generation the live-out register mask is processed and
also emitted as part of the stackmap.

This information is optional and intended for optimization purposes only. This
will enable a client of the stackmap to reason about the registers it can use
and which registers need to be preserved.

40be1e8566 This patch breaks up Wrap.h so that it does not have to include all of
the things, and renames it to CBindingWrapping.h.  I also moved 
CBindingWrapping.h into Support/.

This new file just contains the macros for defining different wrap/unwrap 
methods.

The calls to those macros, as well as any custom wrap/unwrap definitions 
(like for array of Values for example), are put into corresponding C++ 
headers.

Doing this required some #include surgery, since some .cpp files relied 
on the fact that including Wrap.h implicitly caused the inclusion of a 
bunch of other things.

This also now means that the C++ headers will include their corresponding 
C API headers; for example Value.h must include llvm-c/Core.h.  I think 
this is harmless, since the C API headers contain just external function 
declarations and some C types, so I don't believe there should be any 
nasty dependency issues here.

aeef83c6af Switch TargetTransformInfo from an immutable analysis pass that requires
a TargetMachine to construct (and thus isn't always available), to an
analysis group that supports layered implementations much like
AliasAnalysis does. This is a pretty massive change, with a few parts
that I was unable to easily separate (sorry), so I'll walk through it.

The first step of this conversion was to make TargetTransformInfo an
analysis group, and to sink the nonce implementations in
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTranformInfo into
a NoTargetTransformInfo pass. This allows other passes to add a hard
requirement on TTI, and assume they will always get at least on
implementation.

The TargetTransformInfo analysis group leverages the delegation chaining
trick that AliasAnalysis uses, where the base class for the analysis
group delegates to the previous analysis *pass*, allowing all but tho
NoFoo analysis passes to only implement the parts of the interfaces they
support. It also introduces a new trick where each pass in the group
retains a pointer to the top-most pass that has been initialized. This
allows passes to implement one API in terms of another API and benefit
when some other pass above them in the stack has more precise results
for the second API.

The second step of this conversion is to create a pass that implements
the TargetTransformInfo analysis using the target-independent
abstractions in the code generator. This replaces the
ScalarTargetTransformImpl and VectorTargetTransformImpl classes in
lib/Target with a single pass in lib/CodeGen called
BasicTargetTransformInfo. This class actually provides most of the TTI
functionality, basing it upon the TargetLowering abstraction and other
information in the target independent code generator.

The third step of the conversion adds support to all TargetMachines to
register custom analysis passes. This allows building those passes with
access to TargetLowering or other target-specific classes, and it also
allows each target to customize the set of analysis passes desired in
the pass manager. The baseline LLVMTargetMachine implements this
interface to add the BasicTTI pass to the pass manager, and all of the
tools that want to support target-aware TTI passes call this routine on
whatever target machine they end up with to add the appropriate passes.

The fourth step of the conversion created target-specific TTI analysis
passes for the X86 and ARM backends. These passes contain the custom
logic that was previously in their extensions of the
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTransformInfo interfaces.
I separated them into their own file, as now all of the interface bits
are private and they just expose a function to create the pass itself.
Then I extended these target machines to set up a custom set of analysis
passes, first adding BasicTTI as a fallback, and then adding their
customized TTI implementations.

The fourth step required logic that was shared between the target
independent layer and the specific targets to move to a different
interface, as they no longer derive from each other. As a consequence,
a helper functions were added to TargetLowering representing the common
logic needed both in the target implementation and the codegen
implementation of the TTI pass. While technically this is the only
change that could have been committed separately, it would have been
a nightmare to extract.

The final step of the conversion was just to delete all the old
boilerplate. This got rid of the ScalarTargetTransformInfo and
VectorTargetTransformInfo classes, all of the support in all of the
targets for producing instances of them, and all of the support in the
tools for manually constructing a pass based around them.

Now that TTI is a relatively normal analysis group, two things become
straightforward. First, we can sink it into lib/Analysis which is a more
natural layer for it to live. Second, clients of this interface can
depend on it *always* being available which will simplify their code and
behavior. These (and other) simplifications will follow in subsequent
commits, this one is clearly big enough.

Finally, I'm very aware that much of the comments and documentation
needs to be updated. As soon as I had this working, and plausibly well
commented, I wanted to get it committed and in front of the build bots.
I'll be doing a few passes over documentation later if it sticks.

Commits to update DragonEgg and Clang will be made presently.

33242fd3ed Add an experimental early if-conversion pass, off by default.
This pass performs if-conversion on SSA form machine code by
speculatively executing both sides of the branch and using a cmov
instruction to select the result. This can help lower the number of
branch mispredictions on architectures like x86 that don't have
predicable instructions.

The current implementation is very aggressive, and causes regressions on
mosts tests. It needs good heuristics that have yet to be implemented.

05ec712e7f Reintroduce VirtRegRewriter.
OK, not really. We don't want to reintroduce the old rewriter hacks.

This patch extracts virtual register rewriting as a separate pass that
runs after the register allocator. This is possible now that
CodeGen/Passes.cpp can configure the full optimizing register allocator
pipeline.

The rewriter pass uses register assignments in VirtRegMap to rewrite
virtual registers to physical registers, and it inserts kill flags based
on live intervals.

These finalization steps are the same for the optimizing register
allocators: RABasic, RAGreedy, and PBQP.

37efc9fe42 Begin collecting some of the statistics for block placement discussed on
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.

db35087d21 Implement a block placement pass based on the branch probability and
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

bb7b23f5b7 Stub out a new LiveDebugVariables pass.
This analysis is going to run immediately after LiveIntervals. It will stay
alive during register allocation and keep track of user variables mentioned in
DBG_VALUE instructions.

When the register allocator is moving values between registers and the stack, it
is very hard to keep track of DBG_VALUE instructions. We usually get it wrong.
This analysis maintains a data structure that makes it easy to update DBG_VALUE
instructions.

081c34b725 Get rid of static constructors for pass registration. Instead, every pass exposes an initializeMyPassFunction(), which
must be called in the pass's constructor.  This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.

Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes.  Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.

I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin.  It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options.  If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.
