This is a pretty lengthy document, so put the table of contents in your
face so that it's easier to scope out the content.
This document is a mess currently and needs to be
refactored/revised/split-up.

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.

MC disassembler clients (LLDB) are interested in querying if an
instruction may affect control flow other than by virtue of being
an explicit branch instruction. For example, instructions which
write directly to the PC on some architectures.

These were defined on TargetRegisterInfo, but they don't use any information
that's not available in MCRegisterInfo, so sink them down to be available
at the MC layer.

Branch if we have enough instructions so that it makes sense.
Also remove branches if they don't make sense.

This patch replaces the control flow handling with a new
pass which structurize the graph before transforming it to
machine instruction. This has a couple of different advantages
and currently fixes 20 piglit tests without a single regression.
It is now a general purpose transformation that could be not
only be used for SI/R6xx, but also for other hardware
implementations that use a form of structurized control flow.

Use the version that also takes an MF reference instead.
It would technically be possible to extract an MF reference from the MI
as MI->getParent()->getParent(), but that would not work for MIs that
are not inserted into any basic block.
Given the reasonably small number of places this constructor was used at
all, I preferred the compile time check to a run time assertion.

((x & 0xff00) >> 8) << 2
to
(x >> 6) & 0x3fc
This is general goodness since it folds a left shift into the mask. However,
the trailing zeros in the mask prevents the ARM backend from using the bit
extraction instructions. And worse since the mask materialization may require
an addition instruction. This comes up fairly frequently when the result of
the bit twiddling is used as memory address. e.g.
= ptr[(x & 0xFF0000) >> 16]
We want to generate:
ubfx r3, r1, #16, #8
ldr.w r3, [r0, r3, lsl #2]
vs.
mov.w r9, #1020
and.w r2, r9, r1, lsr #14
ldr r2, [r0, r2]
Add a late ARM specific isel optimization to
ARMDAGToDAGISel::PreprocessISelDAG(). It folds the left shift to the
'base + offset' address computation; change the mask to one which doesn't have
trailing zeros and enable the use of ubfx.
Note the optimization has to be done late since it's target specific and we
don't want to change the DAG normalization. It's also fairly restrictive
as shifter operands are not always free. It's only done for lsh 1 / 2. It's
known to be free on some cpus and they are most common for address
computation.
This is a slight win for blowfish, rijndael, etc.

When the least bit of C is greater than V, (x&C) must be greater than V
if it is not zero, so the comparison can be simplified.
Although this was suggested in Target/X86/README.txt, it benefits any
architecture with a directly testable form of AND.

Just like for addMemOperand(), the function pointer provides a context
for allocating memory. This will make it possible to use a better memory
allocation strategy for the MI operand list, which is currently a slow
std::vector.
Most calls to addOperand() come from MachineInstrBuilder, so give that
class an MF reference as well. Code using BuildMI() won't need changing
at all since the MF reference is already required to allocate a
MachineInstr.
Future patches will fix code that calls MI::addOperand(Op) directly, as
well as code that uses the now deprecated MachineInstrBuilder(MI)
constructor.

There's probably a better expansion for those nodes than the default for
altivec, but this is better than crashing. VSELECTs occur in loop vectorizer
output.

- An MVT can become an EVT when being split (e.g. v2i8 -> v1i8, the latter doesn't exist)
- Return the scalar value when an MVT is scalarized (v1i64 -> i64)

I cannot reproduce it the failures locally, so I will keep an eye at the ppc
bots. This patch does add the change to the "Disassembly of section" message,
but that is not what was failing on the bots.
Original message:
Add a funciton to get the segment name of a section.
On MachO, sections also have segment names. When a tool looking at a .o file
prints a segment name, this is what they mean. In reality, a .o has only one
anonymous, segment.
This patch adds a MachO only function to fetch that segment name. I named it
getSectionFinalSegmentName since the main use for the name seems to be infor
the linker with segment this section should go to.
The patch also changes MachOObjectFile::getSectionName to return just the
section name instead of computing SegmentName,SectionName.
