By default, the behavior of IT block generation will be determinated
dynamically base on the arch (armv8 vs armv7). This patch adds backend
options: -arm-restrict-it and -arm-no-restrict-it. The former one
restricts the generation of IT blocks (the same behavior as thumbv8) for
both arches. The later one allows the generation of legacy IT block (the
same behavior as ARMv7 Thumb2) for both arches.
Clang will support -mrestrict-it and -mno-restrict-it, which is
compatible with GCC.

Add a Virtualization ARM subtarget feature along with adding proper build
attribute emission for Tag_Virtualization_use (encodes Virtualization and
TrustZone) and Tag_MPextension_use.
Also rework test/CodeGen/ARM/2010-10-19-mc-elf-objheader.ll testcase to
something that is more maintainable. This changes the focus of this
testcase away from testing CPU defaults (which is tested elsewhere), onto
specifically testing that attributes are encoded correctly.

There's a barrier instruction so that should still be used, but most actual
atomic operations are going to need a platform decision on the correct
behaviour (either nop if single-threaded or OS-support otherwise).

The hint instructions ("nop", "yield", etc) are mostly Thumb2-only, but have
been ported across to the v6M architecture. Fortunately, v6M seems to sit
nicely between v6 (thumb-1 only) and v6T2, so we can add a feature for it
fairly easily.

This patch enables calls to __aeabi_idivmod when in EABI mode,
by using the remainder value returned on registers (R1),
enabled by the ARM triple "none-eabi". Note that Darwin and
GNUEABI triples will continue lowering on GNU style, that is,
using the stack for the remainder.
Still need to add SREM/UREM support fix for 64-bit lowering.

Performance monitors, including a basic cycle counter, are an official

This patch matches GCC behavior: the code used to only allow unaligned
load/store on ARM for v6+ Darwin, it will now allow unaligned load/store
for v6+ Darwin as well as for v7+ on Linux and NaCl.
The distinction is made because v6 doesn't guarantee support (but LLVM
assumes that Apple controls hardware+kernel and therefore have
conformant v6 CPUs), whereas v7 does provide this guarantee (and
Linux/NaCl behave sanely).
The patch keeps the -arm-strict-align command line option, and adds
-arm-no-strict-align. They behave similarly to GCC's -mstrict-align and
-mnostrict-align.
I originally encountered this discrepancy in FastIsel tests which expect
unaligned load/store generation. Overall this should slightly improve
performance in most cases because of reduced I$ pressure.

These instructions aren't universally available, but depend on a specific
extension to the normal ARM architecture (rather than, say, v6/v7/...) so a new
feature is appropriate.
This also enables the feature by default on A-class cores which usually have
these extensions, to avoid breaking existing code and act as a sensible
default.

NEON is not IEEE 754 compliant, so we should avoid lowering single-precision
floating point operations with NEON unless unsafe-math is turned on. The
equivalent VFP instructions are IEEE 754 compliant, but in some cores they're
much slower, so some archs/OSs might still request it to be on by default,
such as Swift and Darwin.

the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.

Build on previous patches to successfully distinguish between an M-series and A/R-series MSR and MRS instruction. These take different mask names and have a *slightly* different opcode format.
Add decoder and disassembler tests.
Improvement on the previous patch - successfully distinguish between valid v6m and v7m masks (one is a subset of the other). The patch had to be edited slightly to apply to ToT.

The DSP instructions in the Thumb2 instruction set are an optional extension
in the Cortex-M* archtitecture. When present, the implementation is considered
an "ARMv7E-M implementation," and when not, an "ARMv7-M implementation."
Add a subtarget feature hook for the v7e-m instructions and hook it up. The

DAG scheduling during isel. Most new functionality is currently
guarded by -enable-sched-cycles and -enable-sched-hazard.
Added InstrItineraryData::IssueWidth field, currently derived from
ARM itineraries, but could be initialized differently on other targets.
Added ScheduleHazardRecognizer::MaxLookAhead to indicate whether it is
active, and if so how many cycles of state it holds.
Added SchedulingPriorityQueue::HasReadyFilter to allowing gating entry
into the scheduler's available queue.
ScoreboardHazardRecognizer now accesses the ScheduleDAG in order to
get information about it's SUnits, provides RecedeCycle for bottom-up
scheduling, correctly computes scoreboard depth, tracks IssueCount, and
considers potential stall cycles when checking for hazards.
ScheduleDAGRRList now models machine cycles and hazards (under
flags). It tracks MinAvailableCycle, drives the hazard recognizer and
priority queue's ready filter, manages a new PendingQueue, properly
accounts for stall cycles, etc.

difficult on current ARM implementations for a few reasons.
1. Even though a single vmla has latency that is one cycle shorter than a pair
of vmul + vadd, a RAW hazard during the first (4? on Cortex-a8) can cause
additional pipeline stall. So it's frequently better to single codegen
vmul + vadd.
2. A vmla folowed by a vmul, vmadd, or vsub causes the second fp instruction to
stall for 4 cycles. We need to schedule them apart.
3. A vmla followed vmla is a special case. Obvious issuing back to back RAW
vmla + vmla is very bad. But this isn't ideal either:
vmul
vadd
vmla
Instead, we want to expand the second vmla:
vmla
vmul
vadd
Even with the 4 cycle vmul stall, the second sequence is still 2 cycles
faster.
Up to now, isel simply avoid codegen'ing fp vmla / vmls. This works well enough
but it isn't the optimial solution. This patch attempts to make it possible to
use vmla / vmls in cases where it is profitable.
A. Add missing isel predicates which cause vmla to be codegen'ed.
B. Make sure the fmul in (fadd (fmul)) has a single use. We don't want to
compute a fmul and a fmla.
C. Add additional isel checks for vmla, avoid cases where vmla is feeding into
fp instructions (except for the #3 exceptional case).
D. Add ARM hazard recognizer to model the vmla / vmls hazards.
E. Add a special pre-regalloc case to expand vmla / vmls when it's likely the
vmla / vmls will trigger one of the special hazards.
Work in progress, only A+B are enabled.

take multiple cycles to decode.
For the current if-converter clients (actually only ARM), the instructions that
are predicated on false are not nops. They would still take machine cycles to
decode. Micro-coded instructions such as LDM / STM can potentially take multiple
cycles to decode. If-converter should take treat them as non-micro-coded
simple instructions.

for all the processors where I have tried it, and even when it might not help

than doing the same via constpool:
1. Load from constpool costs 3 cycles on A9, movt/movw pair - just 2.
2. Load from constpool might stall up to 300 cycles due to cache miss.
3. Movt/movw does not use load/store unit.
4. Less constpool entries => better compiler performance.
This is only enabled on ELF systems, since darwin does not have needed
relocations (yet).

on any current target and aren't optimized in DAGCombiner. Instead
of using intermediate nodes, expand the operations, choosing between
simple loads/stores, target-specific code, and library calls,
immediately.
Previously, the code to emit optimized code for these operations
was only used at initial SelectionDAG construction time; now it is
used at all times. This fixes some cases where rep;movs was being
used for small copies where simple loads/stores would be better.
This also cleans up code that checks for alignments less than 4;
let the targets make that decision instead of doing it in
target-independent code. This allows x86 to use rep;movs in
low-alignment cases.
Also, this fixes a bug that resulted in the use of rep;stos for
memsets of 0 with non-constant memory size when the alignment was
at least 4. It's better to use the library in this case, which
can be significantly faster when the size is large.
This also preserves more SourceValue information when memory
intrinsics are lowered into simple loads/stores.
