I'm really not sure why we were in the first place, it's the linker's job to
convert between BL/BLX as necessary. Even worse, using BLX left Thumb calls
that could be locally resolved completely unencodable since all offsets to BLX
are multiples of 4.

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.

ARM counterpart to r248291:
In the comparison failure block of a cmpxchg expansion, the initial
ldrex/ldxr will not be followed by a matching strex/stxr.
On ARM/AArch64, this unnecessarily ties up the execution monitor,
which might have a negative performance impact on some uarchs.
Instead, release the monitor in the failure block.
The clrex instruction was designed for this: use it.
Also see ARMARM v8-A B2.10.2:
"Exclusive access instructions and Shareable memory locations".

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

There's no hard requirement on LLVM to align local variable to 32-bits, so the
Thumb1 frame handling needs to be able to deal with variables that are only
naturally aligned without falling over.

Particularly on MachO, we were generating "blx _dest" instructions on M-class
CPUs, which don't actually exist. They happen to get fixed up by the linker
into valid "bl _dest" instructions (which is why such a massive issue has
remained largely undetected), but we shouldn't rely on that.

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 terminal barrier of a cmpxchg expansion will be either Acquire or
SequentiallyConsistent. In either case it can be skipped if the
operation has Monotonic requirements on failure.

There's a barrier instruction so that should still be used, but most actual
atomic operations are going to need a platform decision on the correct
behaviour (either nop if single-threaded or OS-support otherwise).

ARM processors without ldrex/strex need to be able to make libcalls for all
atomic operations, including the newer min/max versions.
The alternative would probably be expanding these operations in terms of
cmpxchg (as x86 does always), but in the configurations where this matters
code-size tends to be paramount so the libcall is more desirable.
