produce it.
This adds a function to the TargetMachine that produces this analysis
via a callback for each function. This in turn faves the way to produce
a *different* TTI per-function with the correct subtarget cached.
I've also done the necessary wiring in the opt tool to thread the target
machine down and make it available to the pass registry so that we can
construct this analysis from a target machine when available.

base which it adds a single analysis pass to, to instead return the type
erased TargetTransformInfo object constructed for that TargetMachine.
This removes all of the pass variants for TTI. There is now a single TTI
*pass* in the Analysis layer. All of the Analysis <-> Target
communication is through the TTI's type erased interface itself. While
the diff is large here, it is nothing more that code motion to make
types available in a header file for use in a different source file
within each target.
I've tried to keep all the doxygen comments and file boilerplate in line
with this move, but let me know if I missed anything.
With this in place, the next step to making TTI work with the new pass
manager is to introduce a really simple new-style analysis that produces
a TTI object via a callback into this routine on the target machine.
Once we have that, we'll have the building blocks necessary to accept
a function argument as well.
llvm-svn: 227685
type erased interface and a single analysis pass rather than an
extremely complex analysis group.
The end result is that the TTI analysis can contain a type erased
implementation that supports the polymorphic TTI interface. We can build
one from a target-specific implementation or from a dummy one in the IR.
I've also factored all of the code into "mix-in"-able base classes,
including CRTP base classes to facilitate calling back up to the most
specialized form when delegating horizontally across the surface. These
aren't as clean as I would like and I'm planning to work on cleaning
some of this up, but I wanted to start by putting into the right form.
There are a number of reasons for this change, and this particular
design. The first and foremost reason is that an analysis group is
complete overkill, and the chaining delegation strategy was so opaque,
confusing, and high overhead that TTI was suffering greatly for it.
Several of the TTI functions had failed to be implemented in all places
because of the chaining-based delegation making there be no checking of
this. A few other functions were implemented with incorrect delegation.
The message to me was very clear working on this -- the delegation and
analysis group structure was too confusing to be useful here.
The other reason of course is that this is *much* more natural fit for
the new pass manager. This will lay the ground work for a type-erased
per-function info object that can look up the correct subtarget and even
cache it.
Yet another benefit is that this will significantly simplify the
interaction of the pass managers and the TargetMachine. See the future
work below.
The downside of this change is that it is very, very verbose. I'm going
to work to improve that, but it is somewhat an implementation necessity
in C++ to do type erasure. =/ I discussed this design really extensively
with Eric and Hal prior to going down this path, and afterward showed
them the result. No one was really thrilled with it, but there doesn't
seem to be a substantially better alternative. Using a base class and
virtual method dispatch would make the code much shorter, but as
discussed in the update to the programmer's manual and elsewhere,
a polymorphic interface feels like the more principled approach even if
this is perhaps the least compelling example of it. ;]
Ultimately, there is still a lot more to be done here, but this was the
huge chunk that I couldn't really split things out of because this was
the interface change to TTI. I've tried to minimize all the other parts
of this. The follow up work should include at least:
1) Improving the TargetMachine interface by having it directly return
a TTI object. Because we have a non-pass object with value semantics
and an internal type erasure mechanism, we can narrow the interface
of the TargetMachine to *just* do what we need: build and return
a TTI object that we can then insert into the pass pipeline.
2) Make the TTI object be fully specialized for a particular function.
This will include splitting off a minimal form of it which is
sufficient for the inliner and the old pass manager.
3) Add a new pass manager analysis which produces TTI objects from the
target machine for each function. This may actually be done as part
of #2 in order to use the new analysis to implement #2.
4) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and the targets so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to type erase.
5) Work on narrowing the API between TTI and its clients so that it is
easier to understand and less verbose to forward.
6) Try to improve the CRTP-based delegation. I feel like this code is
just a bit messy and exacerbating the complexity of implementing
the TTI in each target.
Many thanks to Eric and Hal for their help here. I ended up blocked on
this somewhat more abruptly than I expected, and so I appreciate getting
it sorted out very quickly.

If the personality is not a recognized MSVC personality function, this
pass delegates to the dwarf EH preparation pass. This chaining supports
people on *-windows-itanium or *-windows-gnu targets.
Currently this recognizes some personalities used by MSVC and turns
resume instructions into traps to avoid link errors. Even if cleanups
are not used in the source program, LLVM requires the frontend to emit a
code path that resumes unwinding after an exception. Clang does this,
and we get unreachable resume instructions. PR20300 covers cleaning up
these unreachable calls to resume.

manager to support the actual uses of it. =]
When I ported instcombine to the new pass manager I discover that it
didn't work because TLI wasn't available in the right places. This is
a somewhat surprising and/or subtle aspect of the new pass manager
design that came up before but I think is useful to be reminded of:
While the new pass manager *allows* a function pass to query a module
analysis, it requires that the module analysis is already run and cached
prior to the function pass manager starting up, possibly with
a 'require<foo>' style utility in the pass pipeline. This is an
intentional hurdle because using a module analysis from a function pass
*requires* that the module analysis is run prior to entering the
function pass manager. Otherwise the other functions in the module could
be in who-knows-what state, etc.
A somewhat surprising consequence of this design decision (at least to
me) is that you have to design a function pass that leverages
a module analysis to do so as an optional feature. Even if that means
your function pass does no work in the absence of the module analysis,
you have to handle that possibility and remain conservatively correct.
This is a natural consequence of things being able to invalidate the
module analysis and us being unable to re-run it. And it's a generally
good thing because it lets us reorder passes arbitrarily without
breaking correctness, etc.
This ends up causing problems in one case. What if we have a module
analysis that is *definitionally* impossible to invalidate. In the
places this might come up, the analysis is usually also definitionally
trivial to run even while other transformation passes run on the module,
regardless of the state of anything. And so, it follows that it is
natural to have a hard requirement on such analyses from a function
pass.
It turns out, that TargetLibraryInfo is just such an analysis, and
InstCombine has a hard requirement on it.
The approach I've taken here is to produce an analysis that models this
flexibility by making it both a module and a function analysis. This
exposes the fact that it is in fact safe to compute at any point. We can
even make it a valid CGSCC analysis at some point if that is useful.
However, we don't want to have a copy of the actual target library info
state for each function! This state is specific to the triple. The
somewhat direct and blunt approach here is to turn TLI into a pimpl,
with the state and mutators in the implementation class and the query
routines primarily in the wrapper. Then the analysis can lazily
construct and cache the implementations, keyed on the triple, and
on-demand produce wrappers of them for each function.
One minor annoyance is that we will end up with a wrapper for each
function in the module. While this is a bit wasteful (one pointer per
function) it seems tolerable. And it has the advantage of ensuring that
we pay the absolute minimum synchronization cost to access this
information should we end up with a nice parallel function pass manager
in the future. We could look into trying to mark when analysis results
are especially cheap to recompute and more eagerly GC-ing the cached
results, or we could look at supporting a variant of analyses whose
results are specifically *not* cached and expected to just be used and
discarded by the consumer. Either way, these seem like incremental
enhancements that should happen when we start profiling the memory and
CPU usage of the new pass manager and not before.
The other minor annoyance is that if we end up using the TLI in both
a module pass and a function pass, those will be produced by two
separate analyses, and thus will point to separate copies of the
implementation state. While a minor issue, I dislike this and would like
to find a way to cleanly allow a single analysis instance to be used
across multiple IR unit managers. But I don't have a good solution to
this today, and I don't want to hold up all of the work waiting to come
up with one. This too seems like a reasonable thing to incrementally
improve later.
llvm-svn: 226981
The pass is really just a means of accessing a cached instance of the
TargetLibraryInfo object, and this way we can re-use that object for the
new pass manager as its result.
Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the
result and pass for analyses.
llvm-svn: 226157
While the term "Target" is in the name, it doesn't really have to do
with the LLVM Target library -- this isn't an abstraction which LLVM
targets generally need to implement or extend. It has much more to do
with modeling the various runtime libraries on different OSes and with
different runtime environments. The "target" in this sense is the more
general sense of a target of cross compilation.
This is in preparation for porting this analysis to the new pass
manager.
No functionality changed, and updates inbound for Clang and Polly.

This introduces the symbol rewriter. This is an IR->IR transformation that is
implemented as a CodeGenPrepare pass. This allows for the transparent
adjustment of the symbols during compilation.
It provides a clean, simple, elegant solution for symbol inter-positioning. This
technique is often used, such as in the various sanitizers and performance
analysis.
The control of this is via a custom YAML syntax map file that indicates source
to destination mapping, so as to avoid having the compiler to know the exact
details of the source to destination transformations.

With this a DataLayoutPass can be reused for multiple modules.
Once we have doInitialization/doFinalization, it doesn't seem necessary to pass
a Module to the constructor.
Overall this change seems in line with the idea of making DataLayout a required
part of Module. With it the only way of having a DataLayout used is to add it
to the Module.

AtomicExpandLoadLinked is currently rather ARM-specific. This patch is the first of
a group that aim at making it more target-independent. See

for details
The command line option is "atomic-expand"

This is mostly a cleanup, but it changes a fairly old behavior.
Every "real" LTO user was already disabling the silly internalize pass
and creating the internalize pass itself. The difference with this
patch is for "opt -std-link-opts" and the C api.
Now to get a usable behavior out of opt one doesn't need the funny
looking command line:
opt -internalize -disable-internalize -internalize-public-api-list=foo,bar -std-link-opts
llvm-svn: 214919
Without initializing the assembly printers a shared library build of opt is
linked with these libraries whereas for a static build these libraries are dead
code eliminated. This is unfortunate for plugins in case they want to use them,
as they neither can rely on opt to provide this functionality nor can they link
the printers in themselves as this breaks with a shared object build of opt.
This patch calls InitializeAllAsmPrinters() from opt, which increases the static
binary size from 50MB -> 52MB on my system (all backends compiled) and causes no
measurable increase in the time needed to run 'make check'.
llvm-svn: 210914
Still only 32-bit ARM using it at this stage, but the promotion allows
direct testing via opt and is a reasonably self-contained patch on the
way to switching ARM64.
At this point, other targets should be able to make use of it without
too much difficulty if they want. (See ARM64 commit coming soon for an
example).

Implement DebugInfoVerifier, which steals verification relying on
DebugInfoFinder from Verifier.
- Adds LegacyDebugInfoVerifierPassPass, a ModulePass which wraps
DebugInfoVerifier. Uses -verify-di command-line flag.
- Change verifyModule() to invoke DebugInfoVerifier as well as
Verifier.
- Add a call to createDebugInfoVerifierPass() wherever there was a
call to createVerifierPass().
This implementation as a module pass should sidestep efficiency issues,
allowing us to turn debug info verification back on.

There's a bit of duplicated "magic" code in opt.cpp and Clang's CodeGen that
computes the inliner threshold from opt level and size opt level.
This patch moves the code to a function that lives alongside the inliner itself,
providing a convenient overload to the inliner creation.
A separate patch can be committed to Clang to use this once it's committed to
LLVM. Standalone tools that use the inlining pass can also avoid duplicating
this code and fearing it will go out of sync.
Note: this patch also restructures the conditinal logic of the computation to
be cleaner.
llvm-svn: 203669
This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.
llvm-svn: 203083
Eventually DataLayoutPass should go away, but for now that is the only easy
way to get a DataLayout in some APIs. This patch only changes the ones that
have easy access to a Module.
One interesting issue with sometimes using DataLayoutPass and sometimes
fetching it from the Module is that we have to make sure they are equivalent.
We can get most of the way there by always constructing the pass with a Module.
In fact, the pass could be changed to point to an external DataLayout instead
of owning one to make this stricter.
Unfortunately, the C api passes a DataLayout, so it has to be up to the caller
to make sure the pass and the module are in sync.
llvm-svn: 202204
Now that DataLayout is not a pass, store one in Module.
Since the C API expects to be able to get a char* to the datalayout description,
we have to keep a std::string somewhere. This patch keeps it in Module and also
uses it to represent modules without a DataLayout.
Once DataLayout is mandatory, we should probably move the string to DataLayout
itself since it won't be necessary anymore to represent the special case of a
module without a DataLayout.
llvm-svn: 202190
After this I will set the default back to F_None. The advantage is that
before this patch forgetting to set F_Binary would corrupt a file on windows.
Forgetting to set F_Text produces one that cannot be read in notepad, which
is a better failure mode :-)

CodeGenPrepare uses extensively TargetLowering which is part of libLLVMCodeGen.
This is a layer violation which would introduce eventually a dependence on

The same code (~20 lines) for initializing a TargetOptions object from CodeGen
cmdline flags is duplicated 4 times in 4 different tools. This patch moves it
into a utility function.
Since the CodeGen/CommandFlags.h file defines cl::opt flags in a header, it's
a bit of a touchy situation because we should only link them into tools. So this
patch puts the init function in the header.
llvm-svn: 201699
These are self-contained in functionality so it makes sense to separate them,
as opt.cpp has grown quite big already.
Following Eric's suggestions, if this code is ever deemed useful outside of
tools/opt, it will make sense to move it to one of the LLVM libraries like IR.
llvm-svn: 201116
various opt verifier commandline options.
Mostly mechanical wiring of the verifier to the new pass manager.
Exercises one of the more unusual aspects of it -- a pass can be either
a module or function pass interchangably. If this is ever problematic,
we can make things more constrained, but for things like the verifier
where there is an "obvious" applicability at both levels, it seems
convenient.
This is the next-to-last piece of basic functionality left to make the
opt commandline driving of the new pass manager minimally functional for
testing and further development. There is still a lot to be done there
(notably the factoring into .def files to kill the current boilerplate
code) but it is relatively uninteresting. The only interesting bit left
for minimal functionality is supporting the registration of analyses.
I'm planning on doing that on top of the .def file switch mostly because
the boilerplate for the analyses would be significantly worse.
llvm-svn: 199646
When registering a pass, a pass can now specify a second construct that takes as
argument a pointer to TargetMachine.
The PassInfo class has been updated to reflect that possibility.
If such a constructor exists opt will use it instead of the default constructor
when instantiating the pass.
Since such IR passes are supposed to be rare, no specific support has been
added to this commit to allow an easy registration of such a pass.
In other words, for such pass, the initialization function has to be
hand-written (see CodeGenPrepare for instance).
Now, codegenprepare can be tested using opt:
opt -codegenprepare -mtriple=mytriple input.ll
llvm-svn: 199430
directory. These passes are already defined in the IR library, and it
doesn't make any sense to have the headers in Analysis.
Long term, I think there is going to be a much better way to divide
these matters. The dominators code should be fully separated into the
abstract graph algorithm and have that put in Support where it becomes
obvious that evn Clang's CFGBlock's can use it. Then the verifier can
manually construct dominance information from the Support-driven
interface while the Analysis library can provide a pass which both
caches, reconstructs, and supports a nice update API.
But those are very long term, and so I don't want to leave the really
confusing structure until that day arrives.
llvm-svn: 199082
This moves the old pass creation functionality to its own header and
updates the callers of that routine. Then it adds a new PM supporting
bitcode writer to the header file, and wires that up in the opt tool.
A test is added that round-trips code into bitcode and back out using
the new pass manager.
llvm-svn: 199078
that through the interface rather than a simple bool. This should allow
starting to wire up real output to round-trip IR through opt with the
new pass manager.
llvm-svn: 199071
Nothing was using the ability of the pass to delete the raw_ostream it
printed to, and nothing was trying to pass it a pointer to the
raw_ostream. Also, the function variant had a different order of
arguments from all of the others which was just really confusing. Now
the interface accepts a reference, doesn't offer to delete it, and uses
a consistent order. The implementation of the printing passes haven't
been updated with this simplification, this is just the API switch.

manager. I cannot emphasize enough that this is a WIP. =] I expect it
to change a great deal as things stabilize, but I think its really
important to get *some* functionality here so that the infrastructure
can be tested more traditionally from the commandline.
The current design is looking something like this:
./bin/opt -passes='module(pass_a,pass_b,function(pass_c,pass_d))'
So rather than custom-parsed flags, there is a single flag with a string
argument that is parsed into the pass pipeline structure. This makes it
really easy to have nice structural properties that are very explicit.
There is one obvious and important shortcut. You can start off the
pipeline with a pass, and the minimal context of pass managers will be
built around the entire specified pipeline. This makes the common case
for tests super easy:
./bin/opt -passes=instcombine,sroa,gvn
But this won't introduce any of the complexity of the fully inferred old
system -- we only ever do this for the *entire* argument, and we only
look at the first pass. If the other passes don't fit in the pass
manager selected it is a hard error.
The other interesting aspect here is that I'm not relying on any
registration facilities. Such facilities may be unavoidable for
supporting plugins, but I have alternative ideas for plugins that I'd
like to try first. My plan is essentially to build everything without
registration until we hit an absolute requirement.
Instead of registration of pass names, there will be a library dedicated
to parsing pass names and the pass pipeline strings described above.
Currently, this is directly embedded into opt for simplicity as it is
very early, but I plan to eventually pull this into a library that opt,
bugpoint, and even Clang can depend on. It should end up as a good home
for things like the existing PassManagerBuilder as well.
There are a bunch of FIXMEs in the code for the parts of this that are
just stubbed out to make the patch more incremental. A quick list of
what's coming up directly after this:
- Support for function passes and building the structured nesting.
- Support for printing the pass structure, and FileCheck tests of all of
this code.
- The .def-file based pass name parsing.
- IR priting passes and the corresponding tests.
Some obvious things that I'm not going to do right now, but am
definitely planning on as the pass manager work gets a bit further:
- Pull the parsing into library, including the builders.
- Thread the rest of the target stuff into the new pass manager.
- Wire support for the new pass manager up to llc.
- Plugin support.
Some things that I'd like to have, but are significantly lower on my
priority list. I'll get to these eventually, but they may also be places
where others want to contribute:
- Adding nice error reporting for broken pass pipeline descriptions.
- Typo-correction for pass names.

basic functionality.
Rename the 'Assembly' include directory to 'AsmParser' to match the

in the core IR library for quite some time.
Update all of the #includes to match.
All of this started because I wanted to have the layering in good shape
before I started adding support for printing LLVM IR using the new pass
infrastructure, and commandline support for the new pass infrastructure.

The intended behaviour is to force vectorization on the presence
of the flag (either turn on or off), and to continue the behaviour
as expected in its absence. Tests were added to make sure the all
cases are covered in opt. No tests were added in other tools with
the assumption that they should use the PassManagerBuilder in the
same way.
This patch also removes the outdated -late-vectorize flag, which was
on by default and not helping much.
The pragma metadata is being attached to the same place as other loop
metadata, but nothing forbids one from attaching it to a function
(to enable #pragma optimize) or basic blocks (to hint the basic-block
vectorizers), etc. The logic should be the same all around.
Patches to Clang to produce the metadata will be produced after the
initial implementation is agreed upon and committed. Patches to other
vectorizers (such as SLP and BB) will be added once we're happy with
the pass manager changes.
llvm-svn: 196537
clang enables vectorization at optimization levels > 1 and size level < 2. opt
should behave similarily.
Loop vectorization and SLP vectorization can be disabled with the flags

In DIBuilder, the context field of a TAG_member is updated to use the
scope reference. Verifier is updated accordingly.
DebugInfoFinder now needs to generate a type identifier map to have
access to the actual scope. Same applies for BreakpointPrinter.
processModule of DebugInfoFinder is called during initialization phase
of the verifier to make sure the type identifier map is constructed early
enough.
We are now able to unique a simple class as demonstrated by the added
testing case.
llvm-svn: 190334
When unrolling is disabled in the pass manager, the loop vectorizer should also
not unroll loops. This will allow the -fno-unroll-loops option in Clang to
behave as expected (even for vectorizable loops). The loop vectorizer's
-force-vector-unroll option will (continue to) override the pass-manager
setting (including -force-vector-unroll=0 to force use of the internal
auto-selection logic).
In order to test this, I added a flag to opt (-disable-loop-unrolling) to force
disable unrolling through opt (the analog of -fno-unroll-loops in Clang). Also,
this fixes a small bug in opt where the loop vectorizer was enabled only after
the pass manager populated the queue of passes (the global_alias.ll test needed
a slight update to the RUN line as a result of this fix).

its own library. These functions are bridging between the bitcode reader
and the ll parser which are in different libraries. Previously we didn't
have any good library to do this, and instead played fast and loose with
a "header only" set of interfaces in the Support library. This really
doesn't work well as evidenced by the recent attempt to add timing logic
to the these routines.
As part of this, make them normal functions rather than weird inline
functions, and sink the implementation into the library. Also clean up
the header to be nice and minimal.
This requires updating lots of build system dependencies to specify that
the IRReader library is needed, and several source files to not
implicitly rely upon the header file to transitively include all manner
of other headers.
If you are using IRReader.h, this commit will break you (the header
moved) and you'll need to also update your library usage to include
'irreader'. I will commit the corresponding change to Clang momentarily.

a TargetMachine to construct (and thus isn't always available), to an
analysis group that supports layered implementations much like
AliasAnalysis does. This is a pretty massive change, with a few parts
that I was unable to easily separate (sorry), so I'll walk through it.
The first step of this conversion was to make TargetTransformInfo an
analysis group, and to sink the nonce implementations in
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTranformInfo into
a NoTargetTransformInfo pass. This allows other passes to add a hard
requirement on TTI, and assume they will always get at least on
implementation.
The TargetTransformInfo analysis group leverages the delegation chaining
trick that AliasAnalysis uses, where the base class for the analysis
group delegates to the previous analysis *pass*, allowing all but tho
NoFoo analysis passes to only implement the parts of the interfaces they
support. It also introduces a new trick where each pass in the group
retains a pointer to the top-most pass that has been initialized. This
allows passes to implement one API in terms of another API and benefit
when some other pass above them in the stack has more precise results
for the second API.
The second step of this conversion is to create a pass that implements
the TargetTransformInfo analysis using the target-independent
abstractions in the code generator. This replaces the
ScalarTargetTransformImpl and VectorTargetTransformImpl classes in
lib/Target with a single pass in lib/CodeGen called
BasicTargetTransformInfo. This class actually provides most of the TTI
functionality, basing it upon the TargetLowering abstraction and other
information in the target independent code generator.
The third step of the conversion adds support to all TargetMachines to
register custom analysis passes. This allows building those passes with
access to TargetLowering or other target-specific classes, and it also
allows each target to customize the set of analysis passes desired in
the pass manager. The baseline LLVMTargetMachine implements this
interface to add the BasicTTI pass to the pass manager, and all of the
tools that want to support target-aware TTI passes call this routine on
whatever target machine they end up with to add the appropriate passes.
The fourth step of the conversion created target-specific TTI analysis
passes for the X86 and ARM backends. These passes contain the custom
logic that was previously in their extensions of the
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTransformInfo interfaces.
I separated them into their own file, as now all of the interface bits
are private and they just expose a function to create the pass itself.
Then I extended these target machines to set up a custom set of analysis
passes, first adding BasicTTI as a fallback, and then adding their
customized TTI implementations.
The fourth step required logic that was shared between the target
independent layer and the specific targets to move to a different
interface, as they no longer derive from each other. As a consequence,
a helper functions were added to TargetLowering representing the common
logic needed both in the target implementation and the codegen
implementation of the TTI pass. While technically this is the only
change that could have been committed separately, it would have been
a nightmare to extract.
The final step of the conversion was just to delete all the old
boilerplate. This got rid of the ScalarTargetTransformInfo and
VectorTargetTransformInfo classes, all of the support in all of the
targets for producing instances of them, and all of the support in the
tools for manually constructing a pass based around them.
Now that TTI is a relatively normal analysis group, two things become
straightforward. First, we can sink it into lib/Analysis which is a more
natural layer for it to live. Second, clients of this interface can
depend on it *always* being available which will simplify their code and
behavior. These (and other) simplifications will follow in subsequent
commits, this one is clearly big enough.
Finally, I'm very aware that much of the comments and documentation
needs to be updated. As soon as I had this working, and plausibly well
commented, I wanted to get it committed and in front of the build bots.
I'll be doing a few passes over documentation later if it sticks.
Commits to update DragonEgg and Clang will be made presently.

interfaces which could be extracted from it, and must be provided on
construction, to a chained analysis group.
The end goal here is that TTI works much like AA -- there is a baseline
"no-op" and target independent pass which is in the group, and each
target can expose a target-specific pass in the group. These passes will
naturally chain allowing each target-specific pass to delegate to the
generic pass as needed.
In particular, this will allow a much simpler interface for passes that
would like to use TTI -- they can have a hard dependency on TTI and it
will just be satisfied by the stub implementation when that is all that
is available.
This patch is a WIP however. In particular, the "stub" pass is actually
the one and only pass, and everything there is implemented by delegating
to the target-provided interfaces. As a consequence the tools still have
to explicitly construct the pass. Switching targets to provide custom
passes and sinking the stub behavior into the NoTTI pass is the next
step.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

Again, tools are trickier to pick the main module header for than
library source files. I've started to follow the pattern of using
LLVMContext.h when it is included as a stub for program source files.

The TargetTransform changes are breaking LTO bootstraps of clang. I am
working with Nadav to figure out the problem, but I am reverting it for now
to get our buildbots working.
This reverts svn commits: 165665 165669 165670 165786 165787 165997

include/llvm/Analysis/DebugInfo.h to include/llvm/DebugInfo.h.
The reasoning is because the DebugInfo module is simply an interface to the
debug info MDNodes and has nothing to do with analysis.

options, to enable easier testing of the innards of LLVM that are
enabled by such optimization strategies.
Note that this doesn't provide the (much needed) function attribute
support for -Oz (as opposed to -Os), but still seems like a positive
step to better test the logic that Clang currently relies on.
