This changes the SelectionDAG scheduling preference to source
order. Soon, the SelectionDAG scheduler can be bypassed saving
a nice chunk of compile time.
Performance differences that result from this change are often a
consequence of register coalescing. The register coalescer is far from
perfect. Bugs can be filed for deficiencies.
On x86 SandyBridge/Haswell, the source order schedule is often
preserved, particularly for small blocks.
Register pressure is generally improved over the SD scheduler's ILP
mode. However, we are still able to handle large blocks that require
latency hiding, unlike the SD scheduler's BURR mode. MI scheduler also
attempts to discover the critical path in single-block loops and
adjust heuristics accordingly.
The MI scheduler relies on the new machine model. This is currently
unimplemented for AVX, so we may not be generating the best code yet.
Unit tests are updated so they don't depend on SD scheduling heuristics.

testcases accordingly. Some are currently xfailed and will be filed
as bugs to be fixed or understood.
Performance results:
roughly neutral on SPEC
some micro benchmarks in the llvm suite are up between 100 and 150%, only
a pair of regressions that are due to be investigated
john-the-ripper saw:
10% improvement in traditional DES
8% improvement in BSDI DES
59% improvement in FreeBSD MD5
67% improvement in OpenBSD Blowfish
14% improvement in LM DES
Small compile time impact.

This case returns the value in ST(0) and then has to convert it to an SSE
register. This causes significant codegen ugliness in some cases. For
example in the trivial fp-stack-direct-ret.ll testcase we used to generate:
_bar:
subl $28, %esp
call L_foo$stub
fstpl 16(%esp)
movsd 16(%esp), %xmm0
movsd %xmm0, 8(%esp)
fldl 8(%esp)
addl $28, %esp
ret
because we move the result of foo() into an XMM register, then have to
move it back for the return of bar.
Instead of hacking ever-more special cases into the call result lowering code
we take a much simpler approach: on x86-32, fp return is modeled as always
returning into an f80 register which is then truncated to f32 or f64 as needed.
Similarly for a result, we model it as an extension to f80 + return.
This exposes the truncate and extensions to the dag combiner, allowing target
independent code to hack on them, eliminating them in this case. This gives
us this code for the example above:
_bar:
subl $12, %esp
call L_foo$stub
addl $12, %esp
ret
The nasty aspect of this is that these conversions are not legal, but we want
the second pass of dag combiner (post-legalize) to be able to hack on them.
To handle this, we lie to legalize and say they are legal, then custom expand
them on entry to the isel pass (PreprocessForFPConvert). This is gross, but
less gross than the code it is replacing :)
This also allows us to generate better code in several other cases. For
example on fp-stack-ret-conv.ll, we now generate:
_test:
subl $12, %esp
call L_foo$stub
fstps 8(%esp)
movl 16(%esp), %eax
cvtss2sd 8(%esp), %xmm0
movsd %xmm0, (%eax)
addl $12, %esp
ret
where before we produced (incidentally, the old bad code is identical to what
gcc produces):
_test:
subl $12, %esp
call L_foo$stub
fstpl (%esp)
cvtsd2ss (%esp), %xmm0
cvtss2sd %xmm0, %xmm0
movl 16(%esp), %eax
movsd %xmm0, (%eax)
addl $12, %esp
ret
Note that we generate slightly worse code on pr1505b.ll due to a scheduling
deficiency that is unrelated to this patch.
