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.

Passes prior to instructon selection are now split into separate configurable stages.
Header dependencies are simplified.
The bulk of this diff is simply removal of the silly DisableVerify flags.
Sorry for the target header churn. Attempting to stabilize them.

Allows command line overrides to be centralized in LLVMTargetMachine.cpp.
LLVMTargetMachine can intercept common passes and give precedence to command line overrides.
Allows adding "internal" target configuration options without touching TargetOptions.
Encapsulates the PassManager.
Provides a good point to initialize all CodeGen passes so that Pass ID's can be used in APIs.
Allows modifying the target configuration hooks without rebuilding the world.

undefined result. This adds new ISD nodes for the new semantics,
selecting them when the LLVM intrinsic indicates that the undef behavior
is desired. The new nodes expand trivially to the old nodes, so targets
don't actually need to do anything to support these new nodes besides
indicating that they should be expanded. I've done this for all the
operand types that I could figure out for all the targets. Owners of
various targets, please review and let me know if any of these are
incorrect.
Note that the expand behavior is *conservatively correct*, and exactly
matches LLVM's current behavior with these operations. Ideally this
patch will not change behavior in any way. For example the regtest suite
finds the exact same instruction sequences coming out of the code
generator. That's why there are no new tests here -- all of this is
being exercised by the existing test suite.
Thanks to Duncan Sands for reviewing the various bits of this patch and
helping me get the wrinkles ironed out with expanding for each target.
Also thanks to Chris for clarifying through all the discussions that
this is indeed the approach he was looking for. That said, there are
likely still rough spots. Further review much appreciated.

subdirectories to traverse into.
- Originally I wanted to avoid this and just autoscan, but this has one key
flaw in that new subdirectories can not automatically trigger a rerun of the
llvm-build tool. This is particularly a pain when switching back and forth
between trees where one has added a subdirectory, as the dependencies will
tend to be wrong. This will also eliminates FIXME implicitly.

change, now you need a TargetOptions object to create a TargetMachine. Clang
patch to follow.
One small functionality change in PTX. PTX had commented out the machine
verifier parts in their copy of printAndVerify. That now calls the version in
LLVMTargetMachine. Users of PTX who need verification disabled should rely on
not passing the command-line flag to enable it.

place and makes it possible for any codegen pass to use this information.

handle defining the "magic" target related components (like native,
nativecodegen, and engine).
- We still require these components to be in the project (currently in
lib/Target) so that we have a place to document them and hopefully make it
more obvious that they are "magic".

When this field is true it means that the load is from constant (runt-time or compile-time) and so can be hoisted from loops or moved around other memory accesses

calling-convention resource, to avoid spurious conflicts with
actual uses of SP. Also, fix unscheduling of calling sequences,
which can be triggered by pseudo-two-address dependencies.

Original commit messages:
Eliminate LegalizeOps' LegalizedNodes map and have it just call RAUW
on every node as it legalizes them. This makes it easier to use
hasOneUse() heuristics, since unneeded nodes can be removed from the
DAG earlier.
Make LegalizeOps visit the DAG in an operands-last order. It previously
used operands-first, because LegalizeTypes has to go operands-first, and
LegalizeTypes used to be part of LegalizeOps, but they're now split.
The operands-last order is more natural for several legalization tasks.
For example, it allows lowering code for nodes with floating-point or
vector constants to see those constants directly instead of seeing the
lowered form (often constant-pool loads). This makes some things
somewhat more complicated today, though it ought to allow things to be
simpler in the future. It also fixes some bugs exposed by Legalizing
using RAUW aggressively.
Remove the part of LegalizeOps that attempted to patch up invalid chain
operands on libcalls generated by LegalizeTypes, since it doesn't work
with the new LegalizeOps traversal order. Instead, define what
LegalizeTypes is doing to be correct, and transfer the responsibility
of keeping calls from having overlapping calling sequences into the
scheduler.
Teach the scheduler to model callseq_begin/end pairs as having a
physical register definition/use to prevent calls from having
overlapping calling sequences. This is also somewhat complicated, though
there are ways it might be simplified in the future.
This addresses rdar://9816668, rdar://10043614, rdar://8434668, and others.

with a vector condition); such selects become VSELECT codegen nodes.
This patch also removes VSETCC codegen nodes, unifying them with SETCC
nodes (codegen was actually often using SETCC for vector SETCC already).
This ensures that various DAG combiner optimizations kick in for vector
comparisons. Passes dragonegg bootstrap with no testsuite regressions
(nightly testsuite as well as "make check-all"). Patch mostly by
Nadav Rotem.

init.trampoline and adjust.trampoline intrinsics, into two intrinsics
like in GCC. While having one combined intrinsic is tempting, it is
not natural because typically the trampoline initialization needs to
be done in one function, and the result of adjust trampoline is needed
in a different (nested) function. To get around this llvm-gcc hacks the
nested function lowering code to insert an additional parent variable
holding the adjust.trampoline result that can be accessed from the child
function. Dragonegg doesn't have the luxury of tweaking GCC code, so it
stored the result of adjust.trampoline in the memory GCC set aside for
the trampoline itself (this is always available in the child function),
and set up some new memory (using an alloca) to hold the trampoline.
Unfortunately this breaks Go which allocates trampoline memory on the
heap and wants to use it even after the parent has exited (!). Rather
than doing even more hacks to get Go working, it seemed best to just use
two intrinsics like in GCC. Patch mostly by Sanjoy Das.
