Beginners might not aware of this variable and wanted to try a new experimental target.
Although this variable mention in Writing a Backend Documentation. But it becomes easy to search when listed in cmake.rst doc where most variables are listed.

This patch optionally replaces the CRT allocator (i.e., malloc and free) with rpmalloc (mixed public domain licence/MIT licence) or snmalloc (MIT licence) or mimalloc (MIT licence). Please note that the source code for these allocators must be available outside of LLVM's tree.
To enable, use `cmake ... -DLLVM_INTEGRATED_CRT_ALLOC=D:/git/rpmalloc -DLLVM_USE_CRT_RELEASE=MT` where `D:/git/rpmalloc` has already been git clone'd from `https://github.com/mjansson/rpmalloc`. The same applies to snmalloc and mimalloc.
When enabled, the allocator will be embeded (statically linked) into the LLVM tools & libraries. This currently only works with the static CRT (/MT), although using the dynamic CRT (/MD) could potentially work as well in the future.
When enabled, this changes the memory stack from:
new/delete -> MS VC++ CRT malloc/free -> HeapAlloc -> VirtualAlloc
to:
new/delete -> {rpmalloc|snmalloc|mimalloc} -> VirtualAlloc
The goal of this patch is to bypass the application's global heap - which is thread-safe thus inducing locking - and instead take advantage of a modern lock-free, thread cache, allocator. On a 6-core Xeon Skylake we observe a 2.5x decrease in execution time when linking a large scale application with LLD and ThinLTO (12 min 20 sec -> 5 min 34 sec), when all hardware threads are being used (using LLD's flag /opt:lldltojobs=all). On a dual 36-core Xeon Skylake with all hardware threads used, we observe a 24x decrease in execution time (1 h 2 min -> 2 min 38 sec) when linking a large application with LLD and ThinLTO. Clang build times also see a decrease in the range 5-10% depending on the configuration.

When LLVM_APPEND_VC_REV=OFF is set, the current git hash is no
longer embedded into binaries (mostly for --version output).
Without it, most binaries need to relink after every single
commit, even if they didn't change otherwise (due to, say,
a documentation-only commit).
LLVM_APPEND_VC_REV is ON by default, so this doesn't change the
default behavior of anything.
With this, all clients of GenerateVersionFromVCS.cmake honor
LLVM_APPEND_VC_REV.

This extension point is not needed. Provide the equivalent option
through `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` which mirrors the previous extension point. Rely on
CMake to provide the check for the compiler instead.
It is sometimes useful to have the C++ standard library linked into the
assembly when compiling clang, particularly when distributing a compiler
onto systems that don't have a copy of stdlibc++ or libc++ installed.
This functionality should work with either GCC or Clang as the host
compiler, though statically linking libc++ (as may be required for
licensing purposes) is only possible if the host compiler is Clang with
a copy of libc++ available.

- Remove duplication: Both TestingGuide and TestSuiteMakefileGuide
would give a similar overview over the test-suite.
- Present cmake/lit as the default/normal way of running the test-suite:
- Move information about the cmake/lit testsuite into the new
TestSuiteGuide.rst file. Mark the remaining information in
TestSuiteMakefilesGuide.rst as deprecated.
- General simplification and shorting of language.
- Remove paragraphs about tests known to fail as everything should pass
nowadays.
- Remove paragraph about zlib requirement; it's not required anymore
since we copied a zlib source snapshot into the test-suite.
- Remove paragraph about comparison with "native compiler". Correctness is
always checked against reference outputs nowadays.
- Change cmake/lit quickstart section to recommend `pip` for installing
lit and use `CMAKE_C_COMPILER` and a cache file in the example as that
is what most people will end up doing anyway. Also a section about
compare.py to quickstart.
- Document `Bitcode` and `MicroBenchmarks` directories.
- Add section with commonly used cmake configuration options.
- Add section about showing and comparing result files via compare.py.
- Add section about using external benchmark suites.

- Add section about profile guided optimization.
- Add section about cross-compilation and running on external devices.

This patch pulls google/benchmark v1.4.1 into the LLVM tree so that any
project could use it for benchmark generation. A dummy benchmark is
added to `llvm/benchmarks/DummyYAML.cpp` to validate the correctness of
the build process.
The current version does not utilize LLVM LNT and LLVM CMake
infrastructure, but that might be sufficient for most users. Two
introduced CMake variables:
* `LLVM_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS` (`ON` by default) generates benchmark
targets
* `LLVM_BUILD_BENCHMARKS` (`OFF` by default) adds generated
benchmark targets to the list of default LLVM targets (i.e. if `ON`
benchmarks will be built upon standard build invocation, e.g. `ninja` or
`make` with no specific targets)
List of modifications:
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_TESTING` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_INSTALL` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_GTEST_TESTS` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES` is disabled
