Unfortunately, the PowerPC instruction definitions make heavy use of the
positional operand encoding heuristic to map operands onto bitfield variables
in the instruction definitions. Changing this to use name-based mapping is not
trivial, however, because additional infrastructure needs to be designed to
handle mapping of complex operands (with multiple suboperands) onto multiple
bitfield variables.
In the mean time, this adds support for positionally encoded operands to
FixedLenDecoderEmitter, so that we can generate a disassembler for the PowerPC
backend. To prevent an accidental reliance on this feature, and to prevent an
undesirable interaction with existing disassemblers, a backend must opt-in to
this support by setting the new decodePositionallyEncodedOperands
instruction-set bit to true.
When enabled, this iterates the variables that contribute to the instruction
encoding, just as the encoder does, and emulates the procedure the encoder uses
to map "numbered" operands to variables. The bit range for each variable is
also determined as the encoder determines them. This map is then consulted
during the decoder-generator's loop over operands to decode, allowing the
decoder to understand both position-based and name-based operand-to-variable
mappings.
As noted in the comment on the decodePositionallyEncodedOperands definition,
this support should be removed once it is no longer needed. There should be no
change to existing disassemblers.

This is more prep for adding the PowerPC disassembler. FixedLenDecoderEmitter
should recognize PointerLikeRegClass operands as register types, and generate
register-like decoding calls instead of treating them like immediates.

The convention used to specify the PowerPC ISA is that bits are numbered in
reverse order (0 is the index of the high bit). To support this "little endian"
encoding convention, CodeEmitterGen will reverse the bit numberings prior to
generating the encoding tables. In order to generate a disassembler,
FixedLenDecoderEmitter needs to do the same.
This moves the bit reversal logic out of CodeEmitterGen and into CodeGenTarget
(where it can be used by both CodeEmitterGen and FixedLenDecoderEmitter). This
is prep work for disassembly support in the PPC backend (which is the only
in-tree user of this little-endian encoding support).

I've tried to find main moudle headers where possible, but the TableGen
stuff may warrant someone else looking at it.

Most places can use PrintFatalError as the unwinding mechanism was not
used for anything other than printing the error. The single exception
was CodeGenDAGPatterns.cpp, where intermediate errors during type
resolution were ignored to simplify incremental platform development.
This use is replaced by an error flag in TreePattern and bailout earlier
in various places if it is set.

Some of these dyn_cast<>'s would be better phrased as isa<> or cast<>.
That will happen in a future patch.
There are also two dyn_cast_or_null<>'s slipped in instead of
dyn_cast<>'s, since they were causing crashes with just dyn_cast<>.

This is a mechanical change of dynamic_cast<> to dyn_cast<>. A number of
these uses are actually more like isa<> or cast<>, and will be changed
to the semanticaly appropriate one in a future patch.

Keep GCC's warnings happy. It can't reason out that the state machine won't
ever hit the potentially uninitialized use in OPC_FilterValue.

- This patch is inspired by the failure of the following code snippet
which is used to convert enumerable values into encoding bits to
improve the readability of td files.
class S<int s> {
bits<2> V = !if(!eq(s, 8), {0, 0},
!if(!eq(s, 16), {0, 1},
!if(!eq(s, 32), {1, 0},
!if(!eq(s, 64), {1, 1}, {?, ?}))));
}
Later, PR8330 is found to report not exactly the same bug relevant
issue to bit/bits values.
- Instead of resolving bit/bits values separately through
resolveBitReference(), this patch adds getBit() for all Inits and
resolves bit value by resolving plus getting the specified bit. This
unifies the resolving of bit with other values and removes redundant
logic for resolving bit only. In addition,
BitsInit::resolveReferences() is optimized to take advantage of this
origanization by resolving VarBitInit's variable reference first and
then getting bits from it.
- The type interference in '!if' operator is revised to support possible
combinations of int and bits/bit in MHS and RHS.
- As there may be illegal assignments from integer value to bit, says
assign 2 to a bit, but we only check this during instantiation in some
cases, e.g.
bit V = !if(!eq(x, 17), 0, 2);
Verbose diagnostic message is generated when invalid value is
resolveed to help locating the error.
- PR8330 is fixed as well.

Refactor the TableGen'erated fixed length disassemblmer to use a
table-driven state machine rather than a massive set of nested
switch() statements.
As a result, the ARM Disassembler (ARMDisassembler.cpp) builds much more
quickly and generates a smaller end result. For a Release+Asserts build on
a 16GB 3.4GHz i7 iMac w/ SSD:
Time to compile at -O2 (averaged w/ hot caches):
Previous: 35.5s
New: 8.9s
TEXT size:
Previous: 447,251
New: 297,661
Builds in 25% of the time previously required and generates code 66% of
the size.
Execution time of the disassembler is only slightly slower (7% disassembling
10 million ARM instructions, 19.6s vs 21.0s). The new implementation has
not yet been tuned, however, so the performance should almost certainly
be recoverable should it become a concern.

The TableGenBackend base class doesn't do much, and will be removed
completely soon.

Manage Inits in a FoldingSet. This provides several benefits:
- Memory for Inits is properly managed
- Duplicate Inits are folded into Flyweights, saving memory
- It enforces const-correctness, protecting against certain classes
of bugs
The above benefits allow Inits to be used in more contexts, which in
turn provides more dynamism to TableGen. This enhanced capability
will be used by the AVX code generator to a fold common patterns
together.
