The vectorcall calling convention specifies that arguments to functions are to be passed in registers, when possible.
vectorcall uses more registers for arguments than fastcall or the default x64 calling convention use.
The vectorcall calling convention is only supported in native code on x86 and x64 processors that include Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) and above.
The current implementation does not handle Homogeneous Vector Aggregates (HVAs) correctly and this review attempts to fix it.
This aubmit also includes additional lit tests to cover better HVAs corner cases.

Regcall calling convention passes mask types arguments in x86 GPR registers.
The review includes the changes required in order to support v32i1, v16i1 and v8i1.

Register Calling Convention defines a new behavior for v64i1 types.
This type should be saved in GPR.
However for 32 bit machine we need to split the value into 2 GPRs (because each is 32 bit).

The Register Calling Convention (RegCall) was introduced by Intel to optimize parameter transfer on function call.
This calling convention ensures that as many values as possible are passed or returned in registers.
This commit presents the basic additions to LLVM CodeGen in order to support RegCall in X86.

This adds support for the MCU psABI in a way different from r251223 and r251224,
basically reverting most of these two patches. The problem with the approach
taken in r251223/4 is that it only handled libcalls that originated from the backend.
However, the mid-end also inserts quite a few libcalls and assumes these use the
platform's default calling convention.
The previous patch tried to insert inregs when necessary both in the FE and,
somewhat hackily, in the CG. Instead, we now define a new default calling convention
for the MCU, which doesn't use inreg marking at all, similarly to what x86-64 does.

This is a Microsoft calling convention that supports both x86 and x86_64
subtargets. It passes vector and floating point arguments in XMM0-XMM5,
and passes them indirectly once they are consumed.
Homogenous vector aggregates of up to four elements can be passed in
sequential vector registers, but this part is not implemented in LLVM
and will be handled in Clang.
On 32-bit x86, it is similar to fastcall in that it uses ecx:edx as
integer register parameters and is callee cleanup. On x86_64, it
delegates to the normal win64 calling convention.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

This reverts commit r200561.
This calling convention was an attempt to match the MSVC C++ ABI for
methods that return structures by value. This solution didn't scale,
because it would have required splitting every CC available on Windows
into two: one for methods and one for free functions.
Now that we can put sret on the second arg (r208453), and Clang does
that (r208458), revert this hack.
llvm-svn: 208459
MSVC always places the 'this' parameter for a method first. The
implicit 'sret' pointer for methods always comes second. We already
implement this for __thiscall by putting sret parameters on the stack,
but __cdecl methods require putting both parameters on the stack in
opposite order.
Using a special calling convention allows frontends to keep the sret
parameter first, which avoids breaking lots of assumptions in LLVM and
Clang.
Fixes PR15768 with the corresponding change in Clang.

The idea of the AnyReg Calling Convention is to provide the call arguments in
registers, but not to force them to be placed in a paticular order into a
specified set of registers. Instead it is up tp the register allocator to assign
any register as it sees fit. The same applies to the return value (if
applicable).
