This adds documentation that describes remarks in LLVM.
It aims at explaining what remarks are, how to enable them, and what
users can do with the different modes.
It lists all the available flags in LLVM (excluding clang), and
describes the expected YAML structure as well as the tools that support
the YAML format today.

Summary:
This document is an attempt to provide a guide for best practices for using the LLVM build system to generate distributable LLVM-based tools.
Most of the document is geared toward distributions of LLVM-based toolchains, but much of it also applies to distributing other LLVM-based tools and libraries.

official Git repository.
Remove the directions for using git-svn, and demote the prominence of
the svn instructions.
Also, fix a few other issues while I'm in there:
* Mention LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS more.
* Getting started doesn't need to mention test-suite, but should
mention clang and the other projects.
* Remove mentions of "configure", since that's long gone.
I've also adjusted a few other mentions of svn to point to github, but
have not done so comprehensively.

When multiple loop transformation are defined in a loop's metadata, their order of execution is defined by the order of their respective passes in the pass pipeline. For instance, e.g.
#pragma clang loop unroll_and_jam(enable)
#pragma clang loop distribute(enable)
is the same as
#pragma clang loop distribute(enable)
#pragma clang loop unroll_and_jam(enable)
and will try to loop-distribute before Unroll-And-Jam because the LoopDistribute pass is scheduled after UnrollAndJam pass. UnrollAndJamPass only supports one inner loop, i.e. it will necessarily fail after loop distribution. It is not possible to specify another execution order. Also,t the order of passes in the pipeline is subject to change between versions of LLVM, optimization options and which pass manager is used.
This patch adds 'followup' attributes to various loop transformation passes. These attributes define which attributes the resulting loop of a transformation should have. For instance,
!0 = !{!0, !1, !2}
!1 = !{!"llvm.loop.unroll_and_jam.enable"}
!2 = !{!"llvm.loop.unroll_and_jam.followup_inner", !3}
!3 = !{!"llvm.loop.distribute.enable"}
defines a loop ID (!0) to be unrolled-and-jammed (!1) and then the attribute !3 to be added to the jammed inner loop, which contains the instruction to distribute the inner loop.
Currently, in both pass managers, pass execution is in a fixed order and UnrollAndJamPass will not execute again after LoopDistribute. We hope to fix this in the future by allowing pass managers to run passes until a fixpoint is reached, use Polly to perform these transformations, or add a loop transformation pass which takes the order issue into account.
For mandatory/forced transformations (e.g. by having been declared by #pragma omp simd), the user must be notified when a transformation could not be performed. It is not possible that the responsible pass emits such a warning because the transformation might be 'hidden' in a followup attribute when it is executed, or it is not present in the pipeline at all. For this reason, this patche introduces a WarnMissedTransformations pass, to warn about orphaned transformations.
Since this changes the user-visible diagnostic message when a transformation is applied, two test cases in the clang repository need to be updated.
To ensure that no other transformation is executed before the intended one, the attribute `llvm.loop.disable_nonforced` can be added which should disable transformation heuristics before the intended transformation is applied. E.g. it would be surprising if a loop is distributed before a #pragma unroll_and_jam is applied.
With more supported code transformations (loop fusion, interchange, stripmining, offloading, etc.), transformations can be used as building blocks for more complex transformations (e.g. stripmining+stripmining+interchange -> tiling).

Depending on who you ask, PGO grants a 15%-25% improvement in build
times when using clang. Sadly, hooking everything up properly to
generate a profile and apply it to clang isn't always straightforward.
This script (and the accompanying docs) aim to make this process easier;
ideally, a single invocation of the given script.
In terms of testing, I've got a cronjob on my Debian box that's meant to
run this a few times per week, and I tried manually running it on a puny
Gentoo box I have (four whole Atom cores!). Nothing obviously broke.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know if we have a Python style guide, so I just shoved this
through yapf with all the defaults on.
Finally, though the focus is clang at the moment, the hope is that this
is easily applicable to other LLVM-y tools with minimal effort (e.g.
lld, opt, ...). Hence, this lives in llvm/utils and tries to be somewhat
ambiguous about naming.

Add a list of benchmarks, applications and algorithms which are under
discussion to be added to the test-suite.
The initial list includes the the benchmarks mentioned at
https://llvm.org/PR34216, missing SPEC benchmarks, some image processing
algorithms and a few others. The bug tracker only allows adding to the
discussion, not removing, commenting, adding details to individual
benchmarks.
The first proposal was to add these benchmark into the test-suite
repository, but after a discussion, adding it to llvm/docs/Proposals
seem more appropriate. One advantage is that llvm.org will have a
browsable web page with these suggestions.

- Remove duplication: Both TestingGuide and TestSuiteMakefileGuide
would give a similar overview over the test-suite.
- Present cmake/lit as the default/normal way of running the test-suite:
- Move information about the cmake/lit testsuite into the new
TestSuiteGuide.rst file. Mark the remaining information in
TestSuiteMakefilesGuide.rst as deprecated.
- General simplification and shorting of language.
- Remove paragraphs about tests known to fail as everything should pass
nowadays.
- Remove paragraph about zlib requirement; it's not required anymore
since we copied a zlib source snapshot into the test-suite.
- Remove paragraph about comparison with "native compiler". Correctness is
always checked against reference outputs nowadays.
- Change cmake/lit quickstart section to recommend `pip` for installing
lit and use `CMAKE_C_COMPILER` and a cache file in the example as that
is what most people will end up doing anyway. Also a section about
compare.py to quickstart.
- Document `Bitcode` and `MicroBenchmarks` directories.
- Add section with commonly used cmake configuration options.
- Add section about showing and comparing result files via compare.py.
- Add section about using external benchmark suites.
- Add section about using custom benchmark suites.
- Add section about profile guided optimization.
- Add section about cross-compilation and running on external devices.

provides information about
* What to contribute
* How to submit a patch
* Where to start to learn more about LLVM's architecture and internals.
This version of the page duplicates some information from the
DeveloperPolicy and Phabricator pages. Subsequent changes should work
towards moving information for new developers to this page, where it
makes sense.
