Module flags are key-value pairs associated with the module. They include a
'behavior' value, indicating how module flags react when mergine two
files. Normally, it's just the union of the two module flags. But if two module
flags have the same key, then the resulting flags are dictated by the behaviors.
Allowable behaviors are:
Error
Emits an error if two values disagree.
Warning
Emits a warning if two values disagree.
Require
Emits an error when the specified value is not present
or doesn't have the specified value. It is an error for
two (or more) llvm.module.flags with the same ID to have
the Require behavior but different values. There may be
multiple Require flags per ID.
Override
Uses the specified value if the two values disagree. It
is an error for two (or more) llvm.module.flags with the
same ID to have the Override behavior but different
values.

This caused a race condition where a thread calls ~LLVMContextImpl which calls
Module::dropAllReferences which calls begin() on an empty ilist that would
create the sentinel, which racily accesses the global context.
This can not be fixed by locking inside createSentinel because the lock would
need to be shared with all users of the global context, including those that
reside outside LLVM's own code.

patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

uses.
The result produced by the streamer is used to give the linker more accurate
information and to add to llvm.compiler.used. The second improvement removes
the need for the user to add __attribute__((used)) to functions only used in
inline asm. The first one lets us build firefox with LTO on Darwin :-)

Modules and ModuleProviders. Because the "ModuleProvider" simply materializes
GlobalValues now, and doesn't provide modules, it's renamed to
"GVMaterializer". Code that used to need a ModuleProvider to materialize
Functions can now materialize the Functions directly. Functions no longer use a
magic linkage to record that they're materializable; they simply ask the
GVMaterializer.
Because the C ABI must never change, we can't remove LLVMModuleProviderRef or
the functions that refer to it. Instead, because Module now exposes the same
functionality ModuleProvider used to, we store a Module* in any
LLVMModuleProviderRef and translate in the wrapper methods. The bindings to
other languages still use the ModuleProvider concept. It would probably be
worth some time to update them to follow the C++ more closely, but I don't
intend to do it.

automatic. In case anyone is wondering there is only one user of
appendModuleInlineAsm: the dragonegg plugin.

will include converting the PowerPC target to this interface as an

"getOrInsertFunction" in that it either adds a new declaration of the global
and returns it, or returns the current one -- optionally casting it to the
correct type.
- Use the new getOrInsertGlobal in the stack protector code.
- Use "splitBasicBlock" in the stack protector code.

use raw_ostream instead of std::ostream. Among other goodness,
this speeds up llvm-dis of kc++ with a release build from 0.85s
to 0.49s (88% faster).
Other interesting changes:
1) This makes Value::print be non-virtual.
2) AP[S]Int and ConstantRange can no longer print to ostream directly,
use raw_ostream instead.
3) This fixes a bug in raw_os_ostream where it didn't flush itself
when destroyed.
4) This adds a new SDNode::print method, instead of only allowing "dump".
A lot of APIs have both std::ostream and raw_ostream versions, it would
be useful to go through and systematically anihilate the std::ostream
versions.
This passes dejagnu, but there may be minor fallout, plz let me know if
so and I'll fix it.
