DMB instructions can be expensive, so it's best to avoid them if possible. In
atomicrmw operations there will always be an attempted store so a release
barrier is always needed, but in the cmpxchg case we can delay the DMB until we
know we'll definitely try to perform a store (and so need release semantics).
In the strong cmpxchg case this isn't quite free: we must duplicate the LDREX
instructions to skip the barrier on subsequent iterations. The basic outline
becomes:
ldrex rOld, [rAddr]
cmp rOld, rDesired
bne Ldone
dmb
Lloop:
strex rRes, rNew, [rAddr]
cbz rRes Ldone
ldrex rOld, [rAddr]
cmp rOld, rDesired
beq Lloop
Ldone:
So we'll skip this version for strong operations in "minsize" functions.

Reapply r242500 now that the swift schedmodel includes LDRLIT.
This is mostly done to disable the PostRAScheduler which optimizes for
instruction latencies which isn't a good fit for out-of-order
architectures. This also allows to leave out the itinerary table in
swift in favor of the SchedModel ones.
This change leads to performance improvements/regressions by as much as
10% in some benchmarks, in fact we loose 0.4% performance over the
llvm-testsuite for reasons that appear to be unknown or out of the
compilers control. rdar://20803802 documents the investigation of
these effects.
While it is probably a good idea to perform the same switch for the
other ARM out-of-order CPUs, I limited this change to swift as I cannot
perform the benchmark verification on the other CPUs.

This commit adds a weak variant of the cmpxchg operation, as described
in C++11. A cmpxchg instruction with this modifier is permitted to
fail to store, even if the comparison indicated it should.
As a result, cmpxchg instructions must return a flag indicating
success in addition to their original iN value loaded. Thus, for
uniformity *all* cmpxchg instructions now return "{ iN, i1 }". The
second flag is 1 when the store succeeded.
At the DAG level, a new ATOMIC_CMP_SWAP_WITH_SUCCESS node has been
added as the natural representation for the new cmpxchg instructions.
It is a strong cmpxchg.
By default this gets Expanded to the existing ATOMIC_CMP_SWAP during
Legalization, so existing backends should see no change in behaviour.
If they wish to deal with the enhanced node instead, they can call
setOperationAction on it. Beware: as a node with 2 results, it cannot
be selected from TableGen.
Currently, no use is made of the extra information provided in this
patch. Test updates are almost entirely adapting the input IR to the
new scheme.
Summary for out of tree users:
------------------------------
+ Legacy Bitcode files are upgraded during read.
+ Legacy assembly IR files will be invalid.
+ Front-ends must adapt to different type for "cmpxchg".
+ Backends should be unaffected by default.

The C and C++ semantics for compare_exchange require it to return a bool
indicating success. This gets mapped to LLVM IR which follows each cmpxchg with
an icmp of the value loaded against the desired value.
When lowered to ldxr/stxr loops, this extra comparison is redundant: its
results are implicit in the control-flow of the function.
This commit makes two changes: it replaces that icmp with appropriate PHI
nodes, and then makes sure earlyCSE is called after expansion to actually make
use of the opportunities revealed.
I've also added -{arm,aarch64}-enable-atomic-tidy options, so that
existing fragile tests aren't perturbed too much by the change. Many
of them either rely on undef/unreachable too pervasively to be
restored to something well-defined (particularly while making sure
they test the same obscure assert from many years ago), or depend on a
particular CFG shape, which is disrupted by SimplifyCFG.
