Also avoid locals evicting locals just because they want a cheaper register.
Problem: MI Sched knows exactly how many registers we have and assumes
they can be colored. In cases where we have large blocks, usually from
unrolled loops, greedy coloring fails. This is a source of
"regressions" from the MI Scheduler on x86. I noticed this issue on
x86 where we have long chains of two-address defs in the same live
range. It's easy to see this in matrix multiplication benchmarks like
IRSmk and even the unit test misched-matmul.ll.
A fundamental difference between the LLVM register allocator and
conventional graph coloring is that in our model a live range can't
discover its neighbors, it can only verify its neighbors. That's why
we initially went for greedy coloring and added eviction to deal with
the hard cases. However, for singly defined and two-address live
ranges, we can optimally color without visiting neighbors simply by
processing the live ranges in instruction order.
Other beneficial side effects:
It is much easier to understand and debug regalloc for large blocks
when the live ranges are allocated in order. Yes, global allocation is
still very confusing, but it's nice to be able to comprehend what
happened locally.
Heuristics could be added to bias register assignment based on
instruction locality (think late register pairing, banks...).
Intuituvely this will make some test cases that are on the threshold
of register pressure more stable.

This update was done with the following bash script:
find test/CodeGen -name "*.ll" | \
while read NAME; do
echo "$NAME"
if ! grep -q "^; *RUN: *llc.*debug" $NAME; then
TEMP=`mktemp -t temp`
cp $NAME $TEMP
sed -n "s/^define [^@]*@\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\)(.*$/\1/p" < $NAME | \
while read FUNC; do
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$FUNC: *\$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3$FUNC:/g" $TEMP
done
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-LABEL-LABEL:/;\1-LABEL:/" $TEMP
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-NEXT-LABEL:/;\1-NEXT:/" $TEMP
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-NOT-LABEL:/;\1-NOT:/" $TEMP
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-DAG-LABEL:/;\1-DAG:/" $TEMP
mv $TEMP $NAME
fi
done

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

it at the moment.
This allows to form more paired loads even when stack coloring pass destroys the
memoryoperand's value.
<rdar://problem/13978317>

Stack is formed improperly for long structures passed as byval arguments for
EABI mode.
If we took AAPCS reference, we can found the next statements:
A: "If the argument requires double-word alignment (8-byte), the NCRN (Next
Core Register Number) is rounded up to the next even register number." (5.5
Parameter Passing, Stage C, C.3).
B: "The alignment of an aggregate shall be the alignment of its most-aligned
component." (4.3 Composite Types, 4.3.1 Aggregates).
So if we have structure with doubles (9 double fields) and 3 Core unused
registers (r1, r2, r3): caller should use r2 and r3 registers only.
Currently r1,r2,r3 set is used, but it is invalid.
Callee VA routine should also use r2 and r3 regs only. All is ok here. This
behaviour is guessed by rounding up SP address with ADD+BFC operations.
Fix:
Main fix is in ARMTargetLowering::HandleByVal. If we detected AAPCS mode and
8 byte alignment, we waste odd registers then.
P.S.:
I also improved LDRB_POST_IMM regression test. Since ldrb instruction will
not generated by current regression test after this patch.
