While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

After much discussion, ending here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151123/315620.html
it has been decided that, instead of having the vectorizer directly generate
special absdiff and horizontal-add intrinsics, we'll recognize the relevant
reduction patterns during CodeGen. Accordingly, these intrinsics are not needed
(the operations they represent can be pattern matched, as is already done in
some backends). Thus, we're backing these out in favor of the current
development work.

This commit adds a new target-independent calling convention for C++ TLS
access functions. It aims to minimize overhead in the caller by perserving as
many registers as possible.
The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
The same applies for the return value(s)
The callee preserves all GPRs - except RAX and RDI
The access function makes C-style TLS function calls in the entry and exit
block, C-style TLS functions save a lot more registers than normal calls.
The added calling convention ties into the existing implementation of the
C-style TLS functions, so we can't simply use existing calling conventions
such as preserve_mostcc.

This change adds support for an optional weight when merging profile data with the llvm-profdata tool.
Weights are specified by adding an option ':<weight>' suffix to the input file names.
Adding support for arbitrary weighting of input profile data allows for relative importance to be placed on the
input data from multiple training runs.
Both sampled and instrumented profiles are supported.

The @llvm.get.dynamic.area.offset.* intrinsic family is used to get the offset
from native stack pointer to the address of the most recent dynamic alloca on
the caller's stack. These intrinsics are intendend for use in combination with
@llvm.stacksave and @llvm.restore to get a pointer to the most recent dynamic
alloca. This is useful, for example, for AddressSanitizer's stack unpoisoning
routines.

The main motivation is to not require a latex installation when building
the documentation. I would also expect a better image quality and the
ability to copy&paste from formulas with a javascript based solution for

The new option is similar to the SampleProfile dump option.
- dump raw/indexed format into text profile format
- merge the profile and output into text profile format.
Note that Value Profiling data text format is not yet designed.
That functionality will be added later.

Summary:
This change teaches LLVM's inliner to track and suitably adjust
deoptimization state (tracked via deoptimization operand bundles) as it
inlines through call sites. The operation is described in more detail
in the LangRef changes.

Several backends have instructions to reverse the order of bits in an integer. Conceptually matching such patterns is similar to @llvm.bswap, and it was mentioned in http://reviews.llvm.org/D14234 that it would be best if these patterns were matched in InstCombine instead of reimplemented in every different target.
This patch introduces an intrinsic @llvm.bitreverse.i* that operates similarly to @llvm.bswap. For plumbing purposes there is also a new ISD node ISD::BITREVERSE, with simple expansion and promotion support.
The intention is that InstCombine's BSWAP detection logic will be extended to support BITREVERSE too, and @llvm.bitreverse intrinsics emitted (if the backend supports lowering it efficiently).

When working with tokens, it is often the case that one has instructions
which consume a token and produce a new token. Currently, we have no
mechanism to represent an initial token state.
Instead, we can create a notional "empty token" by inventing a new
constant which captures the semantics we would like. This new constant
is called ConstantTokenNone and is written textually as "token none".

Summary:
This change introduces the notion of "deoptimization" operand bundles.
LLVM can recognize and optimize these in more precise ways than it can a
generic "unknown" operand bundles.
The current form of this special recognition / optimization is an enum
entry in LLVMContext, a LangRef blurb and a verifier rule. Over time we
will teach LLVM to do more aggressive optimization around deoptimization
operand bundles, exploiting known facts about kinds of state
deoptimization operand bundles are allowed to track.

Summary:
This patch adds documentation on compiling CUDA with LLVM as requested by many
engineers and researchers. It includes not only user guides but also some
internals (mostly optimizations) so that early adopters can start hacking and
contributing.
Quite a few researchers who contacted us haven't used LLVM before, which is
unsurprising as it hasn't been long since LLVM picked up CUDA. So I added a
short summary to help these folks get started with LLVM.
I expect this document to evolve substantially down the road. The user guides
will be much simplified after the Clang integration is done. However, the
internals should continue growing to include for example performance debugging
and key areas to improve.

"GCC requires the freestanding environment provide memcpy, memmove, memset
and memcmp": https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.2.0/gcc/Standards.html
Hence in GNUEABI targets LLVM should not convert 'memops' to their equivalent
'__aeabi_memops'. This convertion violates GCC contract.
The -meabi flag controls whether or not LLVM will modify 'memops' in GNUEABI
targets.
Without -meabi: use the triple default EABI.
With -meabi=default: use the triple default EABI.
With -meabi=gnu: use 'memops'.
With -meabi=4 or -meabi=5: use '__aeabi_memops'.
With -meabi set to an unknown value: same as -meabi=default.
