This patch teaches llvm-mca how to identify register writes that implicitly zero
the upper portion of a super-register.
On X86-64, a general purpose register is implemented in hardware as a 64-bit
register. Quoting the Intel 64 Software Developer's Manual: "an update to the
lower 32 bits of a 64 bit integer register is architecturally defined to zero
extend the upper 32 bits". Also, a write to an XMM register performed by an AVX
instruction implicitly zeroes the upper 128 bits of the aliasing YMM register.
This patch adds a new method named clearsSuperRegisters to the MCInstrAnalysis
interface to help identify instructions that implicitly clear the upper portion
of a super-register. The rest of the patch teaches llvm-mca how to use that new
method to obtain the information, and update the register dependencies
accordingly.
I compared the kernels from tests clear-super-register-1.s and
clear-super-register-2.s against the output from perf on btver2. Previously
there was a large discrepancy between the estimated IPC and the measured IPC.
Now the differences are mostly in the noise.

This is a refactoring change that will make it easier to pass the

In some cases, for example when compiling a preprocessed file, the
front-end is not able to provide an MD5 checksum for all files. When
that happens, omit the MD5 checksums from the final DWARF, because
DWARF doesn't have a way to indicate that some but not all files have
a checksum.
When assembling a .s file, and some but not all .file directives
provide an MD5 checksum, issue a warning and don't emit MD5 into the
DWARF.

On targets like Arm some relaxations may only be performed when certain
architectural features are available. As functions can be compiled with
differing levels of architectural support we must make a judgement on
whether we can relax based on the MCSubtargetInfo for the function. This
change passes through the MCSubtargetInfo for the function to
fixupNeedsRelaxation so that the decision on whether to relax can be made
per function. In this patch, only the ARM backend makes use of this
information. We must also pass the MCSubtargetInfo to applyFixup because
some fixups skip error checking on the assumption that relaxation has
occurred, to prevent code-generation errors applyFixup must see the same
MCSubtargetInfo as fixupNeedsRelaxation.

This patch extends the MCSchedModel API with new methods that can be used to
obtain the latency and reciprocal througput information for an MCInst.
Scheduling models have recently gained the ability to resolve variant scheduling
classes associated with MCInst objects. Before, models were only able to resolve
a variant scheduling class from a MachineInstr object.
This patch is mainly required by D47374 to avoid regressing a pair of x86
specific -print-schedule tests for btver2. Patch D47374 introduces a new variant
class to teach the btver scheduling model (x86 target) how to correctly compute
the latency profile for some zero-idioms using the new scheduling predicates.
The new methods added by this patch would be mainly used by llc when flag
-print-schedule is specified. In particular, tests that contain inline assembly
require that code is parsed at code emission stage into a sequence of MCInst.
That forces the print-schedule functionality to query the latency/rthroughput
information for MCInst instructions too. If we don't expose this new API, then
we lose "-print-schedule" test coverage as soon as variant scheduling classes
are added to the x86 models.
The tablegen SubtargetEmitter changes teaches how to query latency profile
information using a object that derives from TargetSubtargetInfo. Note that this
should really have been part of r333286. To avoid code duplication, the logic
that "resolves" variant scheduling classes for MCInst, has been moved to a
common place in MC. That logic is used by the "resolveVariantSchedClass" methods
redefined in override by the tablegen'd GenSubtargetInfo classes.

For RISC-V it is desirable to have relaxation happen in the linker once
addresses are known, and as such the size between two instructions/byte
sequences in a section could change.
For most assembler expressions, this is fine, as the absolute address results
in the expression being converted to a fixup, and finally relocations.
However, for expressions such as .quad .L2-.L1, the assembler folds this down
to a constant once fragments are laid out, under the assumption that the
difference can no longer change, although in the case of linker relaxation the
differences can change at link time, so the constant is incorrect. One place
where this commonly appears is in debug information, where the size of a
function expression is in a form similar to the above.
This patch extends the assembler to allow an AsmBackend to declare that it
does not want the assembler to fold down this expression, and instead generate
a pair of relocations that allow the linker to carry out the calculation. In
this case, the expression is not folded, but when it comes to emitting a
fixup, the generic FK_Data_* fixups are converted into a pair, one for the
addition half, one for the subtraction, and this is passed to the relocation
generating methods as usual. I have named these FK_Data_Add_* and
FK_Data_Sub_* to indicate which half these are for.
For RISC-V, which supports this via e.g. the R_RISCV_ADD64, R_RISCV_SUB64 pair
of relocations, these are also set to always emit relocations relative to
local symbols rather than section offsets. This is to deal with the fact that
if relocations were calculated on e.g. .text+8 and .text+4, the result 12
would be stored rather than 4 as both addends are added in the linker.

For RISCV branch instructions, we need to preserve relocation types when linker
relaxation enabled, so then linker could modify offset when the branch offsets
changed.
We preserve relocation types by define shouldForceRelocation.
IsResolved return by evaluateFixup will always false when shouldForceRelocation
return true. It will make RISCV MC Branch Relaxation always relax 16-bit
branches to 32-bit form, even if the symbol actually could be resolved.
To avoid 16-bit branches always relax to 32-bit form when linker relaxation
enabled, we add a new parameter WasForced to indicate that the symbol actually
couldn't be resolved and not forced by shouldForceRelocation return true.
RISCVAsmBackend::fixupNeedsRelaxationAdvanced could relax branches with
unresolved symbols by (!IsResolved && !WasForced).
RISCV MC Branch Relaxation is needed because RISCV could perform 32-bit
to 16-bit transformation in MC layer.
