V1 cover letter:
---------------------
recently linux gained "universal in-kernel virtual machine" which is called
eBPF or extended BPF. The name comes from "Berkeley Packet Filter", since
new instruction set is based on it.
This patch adds a new backend that emits extended BPF instruction set.
The concept and development are covered by the following articles:
http://lwn.net/Articles/599755/http://lwn.net/Articles/575531/http://lwn.net/Articles/603983/http://lwn.net/Articles/606089/http://lwn.net/Articles/612878/
One of use cases: dtrace/systemtap alternative.

instruction set description and differences vs classic BPF:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/filter.txt
Short summary of instruction set:
- 64-bit registers
R0 - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for BPF program
R1 - R5 - arguments from BPF program to in-kernel function
R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve
R10 - read-only frame pointer to access stack
- two-operand instructions like +, -, *, mov, load/store
- implicit prologue/epilogue (invisible stack pointer)
- no floating point, no simd
Short history of extended BPF in kernel:
interpreter in 3.15, x64 JIT in 3.16, arm64 JIT, verifier, bpf syscall in 3.18, more to come in the future.
It's a very small and simple backend.
There is no support for global variables, arbitrary function calls, floating point, varargs,
exceptions, indirect jumps, arbitrary pointer arithmetic, alloca, etc.
From C front-end point of view it's very restricted. It's done on purpose, since kernel
rejects all programs that it cannot prove safe. It rejects programs with loops
and with memory accesses via arbitrary pointers. When kernel accepts the program it is
guaranteed that program will terminate and will not crash the kernel.
This patch implements all 'must have' bits. There are several things on TODO list,
so this is not the end of development.
Most of the code is a boiler plate code, copy-pasted from other backends.
Only odd things are lack or < and <= instructions, specialized load_byte intrinsics
and 'compare and goto' as single instruction.
Current instruction set is fixed, but more instructions can be added in the future.

Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D6494
llvm-svn: 227008
This commit starts with a "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and continues out
from there, renaming the C++ classes, intrinsics, and other
target-local objects for consistency.
"ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their
life in ARM64 use an arm64 triple, those from AArch64 use an aarch64
triple. Both should be equivalent though.
This finishes the AArch64 merge, and everyone should feel free to
continue committing as normal now.
llvm-svn: 209577
I'm doing this in two phases for a better "git blame" record. This
commit removes the previous AArch64 backend and redirects all
functionality to ARM64. It also deduplicates test-lines and removes
orphaned AArch64 tests.
The next step will be "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and rewire most of the
tests.
Hopefully LLVM is still functional, though it would be even better if
no-one ever had to care because the rename happens straight
afterwards.
llvm-svn: 209576
This adds a second implementation of the AArch64 architecture to LLVM,
accessible in parallel via the "arm64" triple. The plan over the
coming weeks & months is to merge the two into a single backend,
during which time thorough code review should naturally occur.
Everything will be easier with the target in-tree though, hence this
commit.
llvm-svn: 205090
This new library will be linked in when using the "all-targets"
component and contains the LLVMInitializeAll* functions.
This means that those functions will exist as real symbols in
the shared library, and can therefore can be called from
bindings that are using ffi the shared library.
llvm-svn: 192690
This adds the actual lib/Target/SystemZ target files necessary to
implement the SystemZ target. Note that at this point, the target
cannot yet be built since the configure bits are missing. Those
will be provided shortly by a follow-on patch.
This version of the patch incorporates feedback from reviews by
Chris Lattner and Anton Korobeynikov. Thanks to all reviewers!
Patch by Richard Sandiford.
llvm-svn: 181203
This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.

The new target machines are:
nvptx (old ptx32) => 32-bit PTX
nvptx64 (old ptx64) => 64-bit PTX
The sources are based on the internal NVIDIA NVPTX back-end, and
contain more functionality than the current PTX back-end currently
provides.

subdirectories to traverse into.
- Originally I wanted to avoid this and just autoscan, but this has one key
flaw in that new subdirectories can not automatically trigger a rerun of the
llvm-build tool. This is particularly a pain when switching back and forth
between trees where one has added a subdirectory, as the dependencies will
tend to be wrong. This will also eliminates FIXME implicitly.

handle defining the "magic" target related components (like native,
nativecodegen, and engine).
- We still require these components to be in the project (currently in
lib/Target) so that we have a place to document them and hopefully make it
more obvious that they are "magic".
