Lots of blocks had "llvm" or "nasm" syntax types but either weren't following
the syntax, or the syntax has changed (and sphinx hasn't keep up) or the type
doesn't even exist (nasm?).
Other documents had :options: what were invalid. I only removed those that had
warnings, and left the ones that didn't, in order to follow the principle of
least surprise.
This is like this for ages, but the buildbot is now failing on errors. It may
take a while to upgrade the buildbot's sphinx, if that's even possible, but
that shouldn't stop us from getting docs updates (which seem down for quite
a while).
Also, we're not losing any syntax highlight, since when it doesn't parse, it
doesn't colour. Ie. those blocks are not being highlighted anyway.
I'm trying to get all docs in one go, so that it's easy to revert later if we
do fix, or at least easy to know what's to fix.

Summary:
This adds a new kind of operand bundle to LLVM denoted by the
`"gc-transition"` tag. Inputs to `"gc-transition"` operand bundle are
lowered into the "transition args" section of `gc.statepoint` by
`RewriteStatepointsForGC`.
This removes the last bit of functionality that was unsupported in the
deopt bundle based code path in `RewriteStatepointsForGC`.

The previous text was hard to understand even for me and I wrote it. Hopefully the new structure makes it a bit more clear what's going on. If anyone has word smithing suggestion or clarification questions, please let me know.
llvm-svn: 257847
Summary: This patch changes gc.statepoint intrinsic's return type to token type instead of i32 type. Using token types could prevent LLVM to merge different gc.statepoint nodes into PHI nodes and cause further problems with gc relocations. The patch also changes the way on how gc.relocate and gc.result look for their corresponding gc.statepoint on unwind path. The current implementation uses the selector value extracted from a { i8*, i32 } landingpad as a hook to find the gc.statepoint, while the patch directly uses a token type landingpad (http://reviews.llvm.org/D15405) to find the gc.statepoint.

Expand the information on base pointers to include an example, the assumptions a collector is allowed to make, legal optimizations over gc.relocates, and the assumptions made by RewriteStatepointsForGC. This is the result of a recent conversation with folks from LLIC and the confusions that came to light therein.
llvm-svn: 246103
Summary:
As added initially, statepoints required their call targets to be a
constant pointer null if ``numPatchBytes`` was non-zero. This turns out
to be a problem ergonomically, since there is no way to mark patchable
statepoints as calling a (readable) symbolic value.
This change remove the restriction of requiring ``null`` call targets
for patchable statepoints, and changes PlaceSafepoints to maintain the
symbolic call target through its transformation.

llvm-svn: 243502
Summary:
This patch teaches the PlaceSafepoints pass about two `CallSite`
function attributes:
* "statepoint-id": if the string value of this attribute can be parsed
as an integer, then it is propagated to the ID parameter of the
statepoint created.
* "statepoint-num-patch-bytes": if the string value of this attribute
can be parsed as an integer, then it is propagated to the `num patch
bytes` parameter of the statepoint created.
This change intentionally does not assert on a malformed value for these
attributes, given that they're not "official" attributes.

llvm-svn: 237286
Summary:
This change adds two new parameters to the statepoint intrinsic, `i64 id`
and `i32 num_patch_bytes`. `id` gets propagated to the ID field
in the generated StackMap section. If the `num_patch_bytes` is
non-zero then the statepoint is lowered to `num_patch_bytes` bytes of
nops instead of a call (the spill and reload code remains unchanged).
A non-zero `num_patch_bytes` is useful in situations where a language
runtime requires complete control over how a call is lowered.
This change brings statepoints one step closer to patchpoints. With
some additional work (that is not part of this patch) it should be
possible to get rid of `TargetOpcode::STATEPOINT` altogether.
PlaceSafepoints generates `statepoint` wrappers with `id` set to
`0xABCDEF00` (the old default value for the ID reported in the stackmap)
and `num_patch_bytes` set to `0`. This can be made more sophisticated
later.

This changes the shape of the statepoint intrinsic from:
@llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 unused, ...call args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)
to:
@llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 flags, ...call args, i32 # transition args, ...transition args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)
This extension offers the backend the opportunity to insert (somewhat) arbitrary code to manage the transition from GC-aware code to code that is not GC-aware and back.
In order to support the injection of transition code, this extension wraps the STATEPOINT ISD node generated by the usual lowering lowering with two additional nodes: GC_TRANSITION_START and GC_TRANSITION_END. The transition arguments that were passed passed to the intrinsic (if any) are lowered and provided as operands to these nodes and may be used by the backend during code generation.
Eventually, the lowering of the GC_TRANSITION_{START,END} nodes should be informed by the GC strategy in use for the function containing the intrinsic call; for now, these nodes are instead replaced with no-ops.

When I originally committed the statepoint docs, I left placeholders for example IR fragments. I'm finally getting around to filling those in.
I also added IR fragments to illustrate the usage of the PlaceSafepoints pass while I was at it.

Specifically, gc.result benefits from this greatly. Instead of:
gc.result.int.*
gc.result.float.*
gc.result.ptr.*
...
We now have a gc.result.* that can specialize to literally any type.

This is the fourth and final patch in the statepoint series. It contains the documentation for the statepoint intrinsics and their usage.
There's definitely still room to improve the documentation here, but I wanted to get this landed so it was available for others. There will likely be a series of small cleanup changes over the next few weeks as we work to clarify and revise the documentation. If you have comments or questions, please feel free to discuss them either in this commit thread, the original review thread, or on llvmdev. Comments are more than welcome.
