Taewook Oh 0e35ea3b7c Remove redundant copy in recurrences
Summary:
If there is a chain of instructions formulating a recurrence, commuting operands can help removing a redundant copy. In the following example code,

```
BB#1: ; Loop Header
  %vreg0<def> = COPY %vreg13<kill>; GR32:%vreg0,%vreg13
  ...

BB#6: ; Loop Latch
  %vreg2<def> = COPY %vreg15<kill>; GR32:%vreg2,%vreg15
  %vreg10<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg1<kill,tied0>, %vreg0<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg1,%vreg0
  %vreg3<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg2<kill,tied0>, %vreg10<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg2,%vreg10
  CMP32ri8 %vreg3, 10, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg3
  %vreg13<def> = COPY %vreg3<kill>; GR32:%vreg13,%vreg3
  JL_1 <BB#1>, %EFLAGS<imp-use,kill>
```

Existing two-address generation pass generates following code:

```
BB#1:
  %vreg0<def> = COPY %vreg13<kill>; GR32:%vreg0,%vreg13
  ...

BB#6:
    Predecessors according to CFG: BB#5 BB#4
  %vreg2<def> = COPY %vreg15<kill>; GR32:%vreg2,%vreg15
  %vreg10<def> = COPY %vreg1<kill>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg1
  %vreg10<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg10<tied0>, %vreg0<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg0
  %vreg3<def> = COPY %vreg10<kill>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg10
  %vreg3<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg3<tied0>, %vreg2<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg2
  CMP32ri8 %vreg3, 10, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg3
  %vreg13<def> = COPY %vreg3<kill>; GR32:%vreg13,%vreg3
  JL_1 <BB#1>, %EFLAGS<imp-use,kill>
  JMP_1 <BB#7>
```

This is suboptimal because the assembly code generated has a redundant copy at the end of #BB6 to feed %vreg13 to BB#1:

```
.LBB0_6:
  addl  %esi, %edi
  addl  %ebx, %edi
  cmpl  $10, %edi
  movl  %edi, %esi
  jl  .LBB0_1
```

This redundant copy can be elimiated by making instructions in the recurrence chain to compute the value "into" the register that actually holds the feedback value. In this example, this can be achieved by commuting %vreg0 and %vreg1 to compute %vreg10. With that change, code after two-address generation becomes

```
BB#1:
  %vreg0<def> = COPY %vreg13<kill>; GR32:%vreg0,%vreg13
  ...

BB#6: derived from LLVM BB %bb7
    Predecessors according to CFG: BB#5 BB#4
  %vreg2<def> = COPY %vreg15<kill>; GR32:%vreg2,%vreg15
  %vreg10<def> = COPY %vreg0<kill>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg0
  %vreg10<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg10<tied0>, %vreg1<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg1
  %vreg3<def> = COPY %vreg10<kill>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg10
  %vreg3<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg3<tied0>, %vreg2<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg2
  CMP32ri8 %vreg3, 10, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg3
  %vreg13<def> = COPY %vreg3<kill>; GR32:%vreg13,%vreg3
  JL_1 <BB#1>, %EFLAGS<imp-use,kill>
  JMP_1 <BB#7>
```

and the final assembly does not have redundant copy:

```
.LBB0_6:
  addl  %edi, %eax
  addl  %ebx, %eax
  cmpl  $10, %eax
  jl  .LBB0_1
```

Matthias Braun d6a36ae282 TargetMachine: Indicate whether machine verifier passes.
This adds a callback to the LLVMTargetMachine that lets target indicate
that they do not pass the machine verifier checks in all cases yet.

This is intended to be a temporary measure while the targets are fixed
allowing us to enable the machine verifier by default with
EXPENSIVE_CHECKS enabled!

Quentin Colombet 545e558b82 [MIR] Print on the given output instead of stderr.
Currently the MIR framework prints all its outputs (errors and actual
representation) on stderr.

This patch fixes that by printing the regular output in the output
specified with -o.

Quentin Colombet 129458a7ed [llc] Add support for several run-pass options.
Previously we could run only one machine pass with the run-pass option.
With that patch, we can now specify several passes with several run-pass
options (or just one option with a list of comma separated passes) and
llc will build the related pipeline.
This is great to test the interaction of two passes that are not
necessarily next to each other in the pipeline, or play with pass
ordering.
Now, we should be at parity with opt for the flexibility of running
passes.

Note: I also moved the run pass option from CommandFlags.h to llc.cpp
because, really, this is needed only there!
