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.

CPU, and feature string. Parsing some asm directives can change
subtarget state (e.g. .code 16) and it must be reflected in other
modules (e.g. MCCodeEmitter). That is, the MCSubtargetInfo instance
must be shared.

RAGreedy::tryAssign will now evict interference from the preferred
register even when another register is free.
To support this, add the EvictionCost struct that counts how many hints
are broken by an eviction. We don't want to break one hint just to
satisfy another.
Rename canEvict to shouldEvict, and add the first bit of eviction policy
that doesn't depend on spill weights: Always make room in the preferred
register as long as the evictees can be split and aren't already
assigned to their preferred register.
Also make the CSR avoidance more accurate. When looking for a cheaper
register it is OK to use a new volatile register. Only CSR aliases that
have never been used before should be avoided.

This allows the (many) pseudo-instructions we have that map onto a single
real instruction to have their expansion during MC lowering handled
automatically instead of the current cumbersome manual expansion required.
These sorts of pseudos are common when an instruction is used in situations
that require different MachineInstr flags (isTerminator, isBranch, et. al.)
than the generic instruction description has. For example, using a move
to the PC to implement a branch.

We have to do this in DAGBuilder instead of DAGCombiner, because the exact bit is lost after building.
struct foo { char x[24]; };
long bar(struct foo *a, struct foo *b) { return a-b; }
is now compiled into
movl 4(%esp), %eax
subl 8(%esp), %eax
sarl $3, %eax
imull $-1431655765, %eax, %eax
instead of
movl 4(%esp), %eax
subl 8(%esp), %eax
movl $715827883, %ecx
imull %ecx
movl %edx, %eax
shrl $31, %eax
sarl $2, %edx
addl %eax, %edx
movl %edx, %eax

- Each target asm parser now creates its own MCSubtatgetInfo (if needed).
- Changed AssemblerPredicate to take subtarget features which tablegen uses
to generate asm matcher subtarget feature queries. e.g.
"ModeThumb,FeatureThumb2" is translated to
"(Bits & ModeThumb) != 0 && (Bits & FeatureThumb2) != 0".

numbers should be printed instead of symbolic register names in
MCAsmStreamer::EmitRegisterName. This is necessary because some versions of
GNU assembler won't accept code in which symbolic register names are used in
cfi directives. There is no change in behavior unless the flag is explicitly
set to true by a backend.

hasPredecessorHelper function allows predecessors to be cached to speed up
repeated invocations. This fixes PR10186.
X.isPredecessorOf(Y) now just calls Y.hasPredecessor(X)
Y.hasPredecessor(X) calls Y.hasPredecessorHelper(X, Visited, Worklist) with
empty Visited and Worklist sets (i.e. no caching over invocations).
Y.hasPredecessorHelper(X, Visited, Worklist) caches search state in Visited
and Worklist to speed up repeated calls. The Visited set is searched for X
before going to the worklist to further search the DAG if necessary.

vec.insert(vec.begin(), vec[3]);
The issue was that vec[3] returns a reference into the vector, which is invalidated when insert() memmove's the elements down to make space. The method needs to specifically detect and handle this case to correctly match std::vector's semantics.
Thanks to Howard Hinnant for clarifying the correct behavior, and explaining how std::vector solves this problem.

For now this is distinct from isCodeGenOnly, as code-gen-only
instructions can (and often do) still have encoding information
associated with them. Once we've migrated all of them over to true
pseudo-instructions that are lowered to real instructions prior to
the printer/emitter, we can remove isCodeGenOnly and just use isPseudo.

Remove the assert that triggers if SuccIterator is constructed for a basic block
without a terminator instruction. Instead of triggering an assert a succ_end()
iterator is returned. This models a basic block with zero successors and allows
us to use F->viewCFG() on incompletely constructed functions.

Add a MI->emitError() method that the backend can use to report errors
related to inline assembly. Call it from X86FloatingPoint.cpp when the
constraints are wrong.
This enables proper clang diagnostics from the backend:
$ clang -c pr30848.c
pr30848.c:5:12: error: Inline asm output regs must be last on the x87 stack
__asm__ ("" : "=u" (d)); /* { dg-error "output regs" } */
^
1 error generated.

itineraries.
- Refactor TargetSubtarget to be based on MCSubtargetInfo.
- Change tablegen generated subtarget info to initialize MCSubtargetInfo
and hide more details from targets.

be the first encoded as the first feature. It then uses the CPU name to look up
features / scheduling itineray even though clients know full well the CPU name
being used to query these properties.
The fix is to just have the clients explictly pass the CPU name!
