Summary:
This patch mostly copies the existing Instruction Flow, and stage descriptions
from the mca README. I made a few text tweaks, but no semantic changes,
and made reference to the "default pipeline." I also removed the internals
references (e.g., reference to class names and header files). I did leave the
LSUnit name around, but only as an abbreviated word for the load-store unit.

This new JIT event listener supports generating profiling data for
the linux 'perf' profiling tool, allowing it to generate function and
instruction level profiles.
Currently this functionality is not enabled by default, but must be
enabled with LLVM_USE_PERF=yes. Given that the listener has no
dependencies, it might be sensible to enable by default once the
initial issues have been shaken out.
I followed existing precedent in registering the listener by default
in lli. Should there be a decision to enable this by default on linux,
that should probably be changed.
Please note that until https://reviews.llvm.org/D47343 is resolved,
using this functionality with mcjit rather than orcjit will not
reliably work.
Disregarding the previous comment, here's an example:

{
if (num == 2)
return true;

return false;
for(uint64_t i = 3; i < num / 2; i+= 2) {
if (num % i == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int numprimes = 0;
for (uint64_t num = argc; num < 100000; num++)
{

numprimes++;

return numprimes;
}

Updated and reorganized. Made the following additions:
1) How to see if ld.gold is installed, and whether it is the current
default.
2) How to install ld.gold as the default or alternatively use
-fuse-ld=gold.
3) Move the part about installing the newly built ld-new as the default
to the prior section and how to use --enable-gold=default to do it
automatically on install.
4) Add a note about ld.bfd supporting plugins but indicate that it is
not tested by the LLVM project and gold is the recommended linker for
use with the gold plugin.
Fixes PR32760.

a Spectre v1 mitigation.
This was initially posted w/ the patch implementing this, got some basic
review there. Also, it is generated from a the Google doc that I shared
as part of the Speculative Load Hardening RFC and which has seen pretty
widespread review at this point.
However, as the patches are landing in LLVM, I wanted to land the docs
as well. But it seemed like a bad idea to have them in the same commit
in case of reverts or other things. So the docs are split out here.
Thanks for all the review so far, and further review and improvements to
the documentation here welcome. Please feel free to keep hammering on
the code review or Google document.
Note that this is a markdown document which Sphinx doesn't yet process.
But we can add support for that after and this should get picked up
(and I'm preparing patches for that). Also, this gets the document
itself into a nice shared place where we can iterate on it.

We need to explicitly state what happens when an invariant promised by
load metadata is violated at runtime, since it's come up repeatedly.
It's possible we want to specify that the result of the load is poison
in some cases, rather than undefined behavior, if the constraint is
violated. That would allow preserving the metadata when the load is
hoisted, but doesn't allow propagating metadata based on control flow.
We currently do transforms based on control flow for nonnull metadata
(in PromoteMemToReg).

We're going to work on this in a separate review focusing more on documenting

We want to add rotate intrinsics because the IR expansion of that pattern is 4+ instructions,
and we can lose pieces of the pattern before it gets to the backend. Generalizing the operation
by allowing 2 different input values (plus the 3rd shift/rotate amount) gives us a "funnel shift"
operation which may also be a single hardware instruction.
Initially, I thought we needed to define new DAG nodes for these ops, and I spent time working
on that (much larger patch), but then I concluded that we don't need it. At least as a first
step, we have all of the backend support necessary to match these ops...because it was required.
And shepherding these through the IR optimizer is the primary concern, so the IR intrinsics are
likely all that we'll ever need.
There was also a question about converting the intrinsics to the existing ROTL/ROTR DAG nodes
(along with improving the oversized shift documentation). Again, I don't think that's strictly
necessary (as the test results here prove). That can be an efficiency improvement as a small
follow-up patch.
So all we're left with is documentation, definition of the IR intrinsics, and DAG builder support.

This patch introduces a brief description of the components of MCA. The main
focus is on Views. This is a work in progress, and more descriptions will be
introduced later. I want to flesh-out the Views section more and provide a
detailed description of eventing in MCA. Eventually a brief code example of a
View should accompany the description.
Also, we should consider moving the MCA internals guide elsewhere at some point.

That is, make CHECK-DAG skip matches that overlap the matches of any
preceding consecutive CHECK-DAG directives. This change makes
CHECK-DAG more consistent with other directives, and there is evidence
it makes CHECK-DAG more intuitive and less error-prone. See the RFC
discussion starting at:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123010.html
Moreover, this behavior enables CHECK-DAG groups for unordered,
non-unique strings or patterns. For example, it is useful for
verifying output or logs from a parallel program, such as the OpenMP
runtime.
This patch also implements the command-line option
-allow-deprecated-dag-overlap, which reverts CHECK-DAG to the old

The aim of this backend is to output everything TableGen knows about
the record set, similarly to the default -print-records backend. But
where -print-records produces output in TableGen's input syntax
(convenient for humans to read), this backend produces it as
structured JSON data, which is convenient for loading into standard
scripting languages such as Python, in order to extract information
from the data set in an automated way.
The output data contains a JSON representation of the variable
definitions in output 'def' records, and a few pieces of metadata such
as which of those definitions are tagged with the 'field' prefix and
which defs are derived from which classes. It doesn't dump out
absolutely every piece of knowledge it _could_ produce, such as type
information and complicated arithmetic operator nodes in abstract
superclasses; the main aim is to allow consumers of this JSON dump to
essentially act as new backends, and backends don't generally need to
depend on that kind of data.
The new backend is implemented as an EmitJSON() function similar to
all of llvm-tblgen's other EmitFoo functions, except that it lives in
lib/TableGen instead of utils/TableGen on the basis that I'm expecting
to add it to clang-tblgen too in a future patch.
To test it, I've written a Python script that loads the JSON output
and tests properties of it based on comments in the .td source - more
or less like FileCheck, except that the CHECK: lines have Python
expressions after them instead of textual pattern matches.

GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.
This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894).
The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is
undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true"
attribute is present.
