This implements the 'landingpad' instruction. It's used to indicate that a basic
block is a landing pad. There are several restrictions on its use (see
LangRef.html for more detail). These restrictions allow the exception handling
code to gather the information it needs in a much more sane way.
This patch has the definition, implementation, C interface, parsing, and bitcode
support in it.

The 'unwind' function is going away with the new EH rewrite. This is step 0 in
keeping front-ends from using it.

This adds the 'resume' instruction class, IR parsing, and bitcode reading and
writing. The 'resume' instruction resumes propagation of an existing (in-flight)
exception whose unwinding was interrupted with a 'landingpad' instruction (to be
added later).

'atomicrmw' instructions, which allow representing all the current atomic
rmw intrinsics.
The allowed operands for these instructions are heavily restricted at the
moment; we can probably loosen it a bit, but supporting general
first-class types (where it makes sense) might get a bit complicated,
given how SelectionDAG works.
As an initial cut, these operations do not support specifying an alignment,
but it would be possible to add if we think it's useful. Specifying an
alignment lower than the natural alignment would be essentially
impossible to support on anything other than x86, but specifying a greater
alignment would be possible. I can't think of any useful optimizations which
would use that information, but maybe someone else has ideas.
Optimizer/codegen support coming soon.

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.

It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).

Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.
For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

This time it's for real! I am going to hook this up in the frontends as well.
The inliner has some experimental heuristics for dealing with the inline hint.
When given a -respect-inlinehint option, functions marked with the inline
keyword are given a threshold just above the default for -O3.
We need some experiments to determine if that is the right thing to do.

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.

the body to not pass the name for the isSigned parameter. However it
seems that changing prototypes is a big-no-no, so here I revert the
previous change and pass "true" for isSigned, meaning this always does
a signed cast, which was the previous behaviour assuming the name was
not NULL! Some other C function needs to be introduced for the general
case of signed or unsigned casts. This hopefully unbreaks the ocaml
binding.

and exact flags. Because ConstantExprs are uniqued, creating an
expression with this flag causes all expressions with the same operands
to have the same flag, which may not be safe. Add, sub, mul, and sdiv
ConstantExprs are usually folded anyway, so the main interesting flag
here is inbounds, and the constant folder already knows how to set the
inbounds flag automatically in most cases, so there isn't an urgent need
for the API support.
This can be reconsidered in the future, but for now just removing these
API bits eliminates a source of potential trouble with little downside.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

- to implement function notes as function attributes and
- to distinguish between function attributes and return value attributes.
This requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

In particular, Collector was confusing to implementors. Several
thought that this compile-time class was the place to implement
their runtime GC heap. Of course, it doesn't even exist at runtime.
Specifically, the renames are:
Collector -> GCStrategy
CollectorMetadata -> GCFunctionInfo
CollectorModuleMetadata -> GCModuleInfo
CollectorRegistry -> GCRegistry
Function::getCollector -> getGC (setGC, hasGC, clearGC)
Several accessors and nested types have also been renamed to be
consistent. These changes should be obvious.

methods are new to Function:
bool hasCollector() const;
const std::string &getCollector() const;
void setCollector(const std::string &);
void clearCollector();
The assembly representation is as such:
define void @f() gc "shadow-stack" { ...
The implementation uses an on-the-side table to map Functions to
collector names, such that there is no overhead. A StringPool is
further used to unique collector names, which are extremely
likely to be unique per process.

- The naming prefix is LLVM.
- All types are represented using opaque references.
- Functions are not named LLVM{Type}{Method}; the names became
unreadable goop. Instead, they are named LLVM{ImperativeSentence}.
- Where an attribute only appears once in the class hierarchy (e.g.,
linkage only applies to values; parameter types only apply to
function types), the class is omitted from identifiers for
brevity. Tastes like methods.
- Strings are C strings or string/length tuples on a case-by-case
basis.
- APIs which give the caller ownership of an object are not mapped
(removeFromParent, certain constructor overloads). This keeps
keep memory management as simple as possible.
For each library with bindings:
llvm-c/<LIB>.h - Declares the bindings.
lib/<LIB>/<LIB>.cpp - Implements the bindings.
So just link with the library of your choice and use the C header
instead of the C++ one.
