1. Fix pre-ra scheduler so it doesn't try to push instructions above calls to
"optimize for latency". Call instructions don't have the right latency and
this is more likely to use introduce spills.
2. Fix if-converter cost function. For ARM, it should use instruction latencies,
not # of micro-ops since multi-latency instructions is completely executed
even when the predicate is false. Also, some instruction will be "slower"
when they are predicated due to the register def becoming implicit input.

do not double-count the duplicate instructions by counting once from the
beginning and again from the end. Keep track of where the duplicates from
the beginning ended and don't go past that point when counting duplicates
at the end. Radar 8589805.
This change causes one of the MC/ARM/simple-fp-encoding tests to produce
different (better!) code without the vmovne instruction being tested.
I changed the test to produce vmovne and vmoveq instructions but moving
between register files in the opposite direction. That's not quite the same
but predicated versions of those instructions weren't being tested before,
so at least the test coverage is not any worse, just different.

instruction count is used in places to determine how many instructions to
copy, predicate, etc. and things get confused if that count includes the
extra cost for microcoded ops.

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

stick with a constant estimate of 90% (branch predictors are good!), but we might find that we want to provide

Rather than having arbitrary cutoffs, actually try to cost model the conversion.
For now, the constants are tuned to more or less match our existing behavior, but these will be
changed to reflect realistic values as this work proceeds.

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.

There are 2 changes relative to the previous version of the patch:
1) For the "simple" if-conversion case, there's no need to worry about
RemoveExtraEdges not handling an unanalyzable branch. Predicated terminators
are ignored in this context, so RemoveExtraEdges does the right thing.
This might break someday if we ever treat indirect branches (BRIND) as
predicable, but for now, I just removed this part of the patch, because
in the case where we do not add an unconditional branch, we rely on keeping
the fall-through edge to CvtBBI (which is empty after this transformation).
The change relative to the previous patch is:

2) My patch exposed a bug in the code for merging the tail of a "diamond",
which had previously never been exercised. The code was simply checking that
the tail had a single predecessor, but there was a case in
MultiSource/Benchmarks/VersaBench/dbms where that single predecessor was
neither edge of the diamond. I added the following change to check for
that:

if-conversion. The RemoveExtraEdges function doesn't work for blocks that
end with unanalyzable branches, so in those cases, the "extra" edges must
be explicitly removed. The CopyAndPredicateBlock and MergeBlocks methods
can also avoid copying successor edges due to branches that have already
been removed. The latter case is especially helpful when MergeBlocks is
called for handling "diamond" if-conversions, where otherwise you can end
up with some weird intermediate states in the CFG. Unfortunately I've
been unable to find cases where this cleanup actually makes a significant
difference in the code. There is one test where we manage to remove an
empty block at the end of a function. Radar 6911268.

- This fixed a number of bugs in if-converter, tail merging, and post-allocation
scheduler. If-converter now runs branch folding / tail merging first to
maximize if-conversion opportunities.
- Also changed the t2IT instruction slightly. It now defines the ITSTATE
register which is read by instructions in the IT block.
- Added Thumb2 specific hazard recognizer to ensure the scheduler doesn't
change the instruction ordering in the IT block (since IT mask has been
finalized). It also ensures no other instructions can be scheduled between
instructions in the IT block.
This is not yet enabled.

so when IfConverter::CopyAndPredicateBlock checks to see if it should ignore
an instruction because it is a branch, it should not check if the branch is
predicated.
This case (when IgnoreBr is true) is only relevant from IfConvertTriangle,
where new branches are inserted after the block has been copied and predicated.
If the original branch is not removed, we end up with multiple conditional
branches (possibly conflicting) at the end of the block. Aside from any
immediate errors resulting from that, this confuses the AnalyzeBranch functions
so that the branches are not analyzable. That in turn causes the IfConverter to
think that the "Simple" pattern can be applied, and things go downhill fast
because the "Simple" pattern does _not_ apply if the block can fall through.
This is pretty fragile. If there are other degenerate cases where AnalyzeBranch
fails, but where the block may still fall through, the IfConverter should not
perform its "Simple" if-conversion. But, I don't know how to do that with the
current AnalyzeBranch interface, so for now, the best thing seems to be to
avoid creating branches that AnalyzeBranch cannot handle.
Evan, please review!

addresses a longstanding deficiency noted in many FIXMEs scattered
across all the targets.
This effectively moves the problem up one level, replacing eleven
FIXMEs in the targets with eight FIXMEs in CodeGen, plus one path
through FastISel where we actually supply a DebugLoc, fixing Radar

use it to control tail merging when there is a tradeoff between performance
and code size. When there is only 1 instruction in the common tail, we have
been merging. That can be good for code size but is a definite loss for
performance. Now we will avoid tail merging in that case when the
optimization level is "Aggressive", i.e., "-O3". Radar 7338114.
Since the IfConversion pass invokes BranchFolding, it too needs to know
the optimization level. Note that I removed the RegisterPass instantiation
for IfConversion because it required a default constructor. If someone
wants to keep that for some reason, we can add a default constructor with
a hard-wired optimization level.

- Some clients which used DOUT have moved to DEBUG. We are deprecating the
"magic" DOUT behavior which avoided calling printing functions when the
statement was disabled. In addition to being unnecessary magic, it had the
downside of leaving code in -Asserts builds, and of hiding potentially
unnecessary computations.
