This models the A9 processor at the level of instruction operands, as
opposed to the itinerary, which models each operation at the level of
pipeline stages.
The two primary motivations are:
1) Allow MachineScheduler to model A9 as an out-of-order processor. It
can now distinguish between hazards that force interlocking vs.
buffered resources.
2) Reduce long-term maintenance by allowing the itinerary and target
hooks to eventually be removed. Note that almost all of the complexity
in the new model exists to model instruction variants, which the
itinerary cannot handle. Instead the scheduler previously relied on
processor-specific target hooks which are incomplete and buggy.

* wrap code blocks in \code ... \endcode;
* refer to parameter names in paragraphs correctly (\arg is not what most
people want -- it starts a new paragraph);
* use \param instead of \arg to document parameters in order to be consistent
with the rest of the codebase.

The ARM backend can eliminate cmp instructions by reusing flags from a
nearby sub instruction with similar arguments.
Don't do that if the sub is predicated - the flags are not written
unconditionally.

- Darwin lied about not supporting .lcomm and turned it into zerofill in the
asm parser. Push the zerofill-conversion down into macho-specific code.
- This makes the tri-state LCOMMType enum superfluous, there are no targets
without .lcomm.
- Do proper error reporting when trying to use .lcomm with alignment on a target
that doesn't support it.
- .comm and .lcomm alignment was parsed in bytes on COFF, should be power of 2.
- Fixes PR13755 (.lcomm crashes on ELF).

If we have a BUILD_VECTOR that is mostly a constant splat, it is often better to splat that constant then insertelement the non-constant lanes instead of insertelementing every lane from an undef base.

Now that it is possible to dynamically tie MachineInstr operands,
predicated instructions are possible in SSA form:
%vreg3<def> = SUBri %vreg1, -2147483647, pred:14, pred:%noreg, %opt:%noreg
%vreg4<def,tied1> = MOVCCr %vreg3<tied0>, %vreg1, %pred:12, pred:%CPSR
Becomes a predicated SUBri with a tied imp-use:
SUBri %vreg1, -2147483647, pred:13, pred:%CPSR, opt:%noreg, %vreg1<imp-use,tied0>
This means that any instruction that is safe to move can be folded into
a MOVCC, and the *CC pseudo-instructions are no longer needed.
The test case changes reflect that Thumb2SizeReduce recognizes the
predicated instructions. It didn't understand the pseudos.

Previous patch accidentally decided it couldn't convert a VFP to a
NEON instruction after it had already destroyed the old one. Not a
good move.

This patch corrects the definition of umlal/smlal instructions and adds support
for matching them to the ARM dag combiner.

MatchInstructionImpl() function.
These values are used by the ConvertToMCInst() function to index into the
ConversionTable. The values are also needed to call the GetMCInstOperandNum()
function.

For example, the ARM target does not have efficient ISel handling for vector
selects with scalar conditions. This patch adds a TLI hook which allows the
different targets to report which selects are supported well and which selects
should be converted to CF duting codegen prepare.

NEON domain conversion was too heavy-handed with its widened
registers, which could have stripped existing instructions of their
dependency, leaving them vulnerable to scheduling errors.

I have tested the fix, but have not been successfull in generating
a robust unit test. This can only be exposed through particular
register assignments.

This wasn't the right way to enforce ordering of atomics.
We are already setting the isVolatile bit on memory operands of atomic
operations which is good enough to enforce the correct ordering.
llvm-svn: 162732
It is not safe to use normal LDR instructions because they may be
reordered by the scheduler. The ATOMIC_LDR pseudos have a mayStore flag
that prevents reordering.
Atomic loads are also prevented from participating in rematerialization
and load folding.
