This patch defines 'unpredictable' metadata. This metadata can be used to signal to the optimizer
or backend that a branch or switch is unpredictable, and therefore, it's probably better to not
split a compound predicate into multiple branches such as in CodeGenPrepare::splitBranchCondition().
This was discussed in:

As a follow-up to r246098, require `DISubprogram` definitions
(`isDefinition: true`) to be 'distinct'. Specifically, add an assembler
check, a verifier check, and bitcode upgrading logic to combat testcase
bitrot after the `DIBuilder` change.
While working on the testcases, I realized that
test/Linker/subprogram-linkonce-weak-odr.ll isn't relevant anymore. Its
purpose was to check for a corner case in PR22792 where two subprogram
definitions match exactly and share the same metadata node. The new
verifier check, requiring that subprogram definitions are 'distinct',
precludes that possibility.
I updated almost all the IR with the following script:
git grep -l -E -e '= !DISubprogram\(.* isDefinition: true' |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's/= \(!DISubprogram(.*, isDefinition: true\)/= distinct \1/'
Likely some variant of would work for out-of-tree testcases.

This commit switches the underlying JIT for the Kaleidoscope tutorials from
MCJIT to a custom ORC-based JIT, KaleidoscopeJIT. This fixes a lot of the bugs

Summary:
WinEHPrepare is going to require that cleanuppad and catchpad produce values
of token type which are consumed by any cleanupret or catchret exiting the
pad. This change updates the signatures of those operators to require/enforce
that the type produced by the pads is token type and that the rets have an
appropriate argument.
The catchpad argument of a `CatchReturnInst` must be a `CatchPadInst` (and
similarly for `CleanupReturnInst`/`CleanupPadInst`). To accommodate that
restriction, this change adds a notion of an operator constraint to both
LLParser and BitcodeReader, allowing appropriate sentinels to be constructed
for forward references and appropriate error messages to be emitted for
illegal inputs.
Also add a verifier rule (noted in LangRef) that a catchpad with a catchpad
predecessor must have no other predecessors; this ensures that WinEHPrepare
will see the expected linear relationship between sibling catches on the
same try.
Lastly, remove some superfluous/vestigial casts from instruction operand
setters operating on BasicBlocks.

such as std::equal on the third argument. This reverts previous workarounds.
Predefining _DEBUG_POINTER_IMPL disables Visual C++ 2013 headers from defining
it to a function performing the null pointer check. In practice, it's not that
bad since any function actually using the nullptr will seg fault. The other
iterator sanity checks remain enabled in the headers.

Some personality routines require funclet exit points to be clearly
marked, this is done by producing a token at the funclet pad and
consuming it at the corresponding ret instruction. CleanupReturnInst
already had a spot for this operand but CatchReturnInst did not.
Other personality routines don't need to use this which is why it has
been made optional.
llvm-svn: 245149
This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.
There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH. Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups. After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together. We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.
Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup. This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.
What is the burden to the optimizer? Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway. There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

This debugger was designed to catch places where the old update API was
failing to be used correctly. As I've removed the update API, it no
longer serves any purpose. We can introduce new debugging aid passes
around any future work w.r.t. updating AAs.
Note that I've updated the documentation here, but really I need to
rewrite the documentation to carefully spell out the ideas around
stateful AA and how things are changing in the AA world. However, I'm
hoping to do that as a follow-up to the refactoring of the AA
infrastructure to work in both old and new pass managers so that I can
write the documentation specific to that world.

This change adds the unroll metadata "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" which directs
the optimizer to unroll a loop fully if the trip count is known at compile time, and
unroll partially if the trip count is not known at compile time. This differs from
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" which explicitly does not unroll a loop if the trip count is not
known at compile time.
The "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" is intended to be added for loops annotated with
"#pragma unroll".

Successive versions of LLVM should retain the ability to parse bitcode
generated by old releases of the compiler. This adds a bitcode format
compatibility test, which is intended to provide good (albeit not
entirely exhaustive) coverage of the current LangRef.
This also includes compatibility tests for LLVM 3.6. After every 3.X.0
release, the compatibility.ll file from the 3.X branch should be copied
to compatibility-3.X.ll on trunk, and the 3.X.0 release used to generate
a corresponding bitcode file.

Remove the fake `DW_TAG_auto_variable` and `DW_TAG_arg_variable` tags,
using `DW_TAG_variable` in their place Stop exposing the `tag:` field at
all in the assembly format for `DILocalVariable`.
Most of the testcase updates were generated by the following sed script:
find test/ -name "*.ll" -o -name "*.mir" |
xargs grep -l 'DILocalVariable' |
xargs sed -i '' \
-e 's/tag: DW_TAG_arg_variable, //' \
-e 's/tag: DW_TAG_auto_variable, //'
There were only a handful of tests in `test/Assembly` that I needed to
update by hand.
(Note: a follow-up could change `DILocalVariable::DILocalVariable()` to
set the tag to `DW_TAG_formal_parameter` instead of `DW_TAG_variable`
(as appropriate), instead of having that logic magically in the backend
in `DbgVariable`. I've added a FIXME to that effect.)

Summary:
As added initially, statepoints required their call targets to be a
constant pointer null if ``numPatchBytes`` was non-zero. This turns out
to be a problem ergonomically, since there is no way to mark patchable
statepoints as calling a (readable) symbolic value.
This change remove the restriction of requiring ``null`` call targets
for patchable statepoints, and changes PlaceSafepoints to maintain the
symbolic call target through its transformation.

Too many people hope lli would act as an emulator when it's actually
just a tool to help prototype IR code and test the JIT compiler. This
commit makes that fact explicit in the documentation
It also migrates the old style bold/italic doc tags to the preferred

No errors when generating the documents, visual inspection in the HTML
result doesn't show any major difference, apart from the slight style
change.

Add a verifier check that `DILocalVariable`s of tag
`DW_TAG_arg_variable` always have a non-zero 'arg:' field, and those of
tag `DW_TAG_auto_variable` always have a zero 'arg:' field. These are
the only configurations that are properly understood by the backend.
(Also, fix the bad examples in LangRef and test/Assembler, and fix the
bug in Kaleidoscope Ch8.)
A large number of testcases seem to have bitrotted their way forward
from some ancient version of the debug info hierarchy that didn't have
`arg:` parameters. If you have out-of-tree testcases that start failing
in the verifier and you don't care enough to get the `arg:` right, you
may have some luck just calling:
sed -e 's/, arg: 0/, arg: 1/'
or some such, but I hand-updated the ones in tree.

We used to take the address specified as the direct target of the patchpoint
and did no TOC-pointer handling. This, however, as not all that useful,
because MCJIT tends to create a lot of modules, and they have their own TOC
sections. Thus, to call from the generated code to other generated code, you
really need to switch TOC pointers. Make this work as expected, and under
ELFv1, tread the address as the function descriptor address so that the correct
TOC pointer can be loaded.

The justification of this change is here: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-March/082989.html
According to the current GEP syntax, vector GEP requires that each index must be a vector with the same number of elements.
%A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, <4 x i64> %offsets
In this implementation I let each index be or vector or scalar. All vector indices must have the same number of elements. The scalar value will mean the splat vector value.
(1) %A = getelementptr i8, i8* %ptr, <4 x i64> %offsets
or
(2) %A = getelementptr i8, <4 x i8*> %ptrs, i64 %offset
In all cases the %A type is <4 x i8*>
In the case (2) we add the same offset to all pointers.
The case (1) covers C[B[i]] case, when we have the same base C and different offsets B[i].
The documentation is updated.

Summary:
Initially, these intrinsics seemed like part of a family of "frame"
related intrinsics, but now I think that's more confusing than helpful.
Initially, the LangRef specified that this would create a new kind of
allocation that would be allocated at a fixed offset from the frame
pointer (EBP/RBP). We ended up dropping that design, and leaving the
stack frame layout alone.
These intrinsics are really about sharing local stack allocations, not
frame pointers. I intend to go further and add an `llvm.localaddress()`
intrinsic that returns whatever register (EBP, ESI, ESP, RBX) is being
used to address locals, which should not be confused with the frame
pointer.
Naming suggestions at this point are welcome, I'm happy to re-run sed.
