Back in the mists of time (2008), it seems TableGen couldn't handle the
patterns necessary to match ARM's CMOV node that we convert select operations
to, so we wrote a lot of fairly hairy C++ to do it for us.
TableGen can deal with it now: there were a few minor differences to CodeGen
(see tests), but nothing obviously worse that I could see, so we should
probably address anything that *does* come up in a localised manner.

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

A MOVCCr instruction can be commuted by inverting the condition. This
can help reduce register pressure and remove unnecessary copies in some
cases.

if (x != 0) x = 1
if (x == 1) x = 1
Previous codegen looks like this:
mov r1, r0
cmp r1, #1
mov r0, #0
moveq r0, #1
The naive lowering select between two different values. It should recognize the
test is equality test so it's more a conditional move rather than a select:
cmp r0, #1
movne r0, #0

Print shifted immediate values directly rather than as a payload+shifter
value pair. This makes for more readable output assembly code, simplifies
the instruction printer, and is consistent with how Thumb immediates are
displayed.
