Summary:
The original heuristic to break critical edge during machine sink is relatively conservertive: when there is only one instruction sinkable to the critical edge, it is likely that the machine sink pass will not break the critical edge. This leads to many speculative instructions executed at runtime. However, with profile info, we could model the splitting benefits: if the critical edge has 50% taken rate, it would always be beneficial to split the critical edge to avoid the speculated runtime instructions. This patch uses profile to guide critical edge splitting in machine sink pass.

Presently, CodeGenPrepare deletes all nearly empty (only phi and branch)
basic blocks. This pass can delete loop preheaders which frequently creates
critical edges. A preheader can be a convenient place to spill registers to
the stack. If the entrance to a loop body is a critical edge, then spills
may occur in the loop body rather than immediately before it. This patch
protects loop preheaders from deletion in CodeGenPrepare even if they are
nearly empty.
Since the patch alters the CFG, it affects a large number of test cases.
In most cases, the changes are merely cosmetic (basic blocks have different
names or instruction orders change slightly). I am somewhat concerned about
the test/CodeGen/Mips/brdelayslot.ll test case. If the loop preheader is not
deleted, then the MIPS backend does not take advantage of a branch delay
slot. Consequently, I would like some close review by a MIPS expert.
The patch also partially subsumes D16893 from George Burgess IV. George
correctly notes that CodeGenPrepare does not actually preserve the dominator
tree. I think the dominator tree was usually not valid when CodeGenPrepare
ran, but I am using LoopInfo to mark preheaders, so the dominator tree is
now always valid before CodeGenPrepare.

This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.

This is done by pushing physical register definitions close to their
use, which happens to handle flag definitions if they're not glued to
the branch. This seems to be generally a good thing though, so I
didn't need to add a target hook yet.
The primary motivation is to generate code closer to what people
expect and rule out missed opportunity from enabling macro-op
fusion. As a side benefit, we get several 2-5% gains on x86
benchmarks. There is one regression:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/lists slows down be -10%. But this is
an independent scheduler bug that will be tracked separately.
See rdar://problem/9283108.
Incidentally, pre-RA scheduling is only half the solution. Fixing the
later passes is tracked by:
<rdar://problem/8932804> [pre-RA-sched] on x86, attempt to schedule CMP/TEST adjacent with condition jump
Fixes:
<rdar://problem/9262453> Scheduler unnecessary break of cmp/jump fusion

This reverts revision 114633. It was breaking llvm-gcc-i386-linux-selfhost.
It seems there is a downstream bug that is exposed by
-cgp-critical-edge-splitting=0. When that bug is fixed, this patch can go back
in.
Note that the changes to tailcallfp2.ll are not reverted. They were good are
required.

Measurements show that it does not speed up coalescing, so there is no reason
the keep the added complexity around.
Also clean out some unused methods and static functions.

happening.
Enhance scheduling to set the DEAD flag on implicit defs
more aggressively. Before, we'd set an implicit def operand
to dead if it were present in the SDNode corresponding to
the machineinstr but had no use. Now we do it in this case
AND if the implicit def does not exist in the SDNode at all.
This exposes a couple of problems: one is the FIXME, which
causes a live intervals crash on CodeGen/X86/sibcall.ll.
The second is that it makes machinecse and licm more
aggressive (which is a good thing) but also exposes a case
where licm hoists a set0 and then it doesn't get resunk.
Talking to codegen folks about both these issues, but I need
this patch in in the meantime.
