These features implicitly enabled XSAVE in the frontend, but not
the backend. Disabling XSAVE in the frontend disabled XSAVEOPT, but
not the other 2. Nothing happened in the backend.
The PREFETCHW instruction was originally part of the 3DNow. But
it was given its own CPUID bit on later CPUs just before 3DNow
was deprecated.
We were setting the -mprfchw flag if -m3dnow was passed or the CPU
supported 3dnow unless -mno-prfchw was passed. But -march=native
on a CPU without the PRFCHW CPUID bit set will pass -mno-prfchw.
So -march=k8 will behave differently than -march=native on a K8
for example.
So remove this implicit setting from the frontend and instead
enable the backend to use PREFETCHW if 3dnow OR prfchw is enabled.
Also enable PRFCHW flag on amdfam10/barcelona which seems to be
where this CPUID bit was introduced. That CPU also supported
3dnow.

Adds a new data structure, ImmutableGraph, and uses RDF to find LVI gadgets and add them to a MachineGadgetGraph.
More specifically, a new X86 machine pass finds Load Value Injection (LVI) gadgets consisting of a load from memory (i.e., SOURCE), and any operation that may transmit the value loaded from memory over a covert channel, or use the value loaded from memory to determine a branch/call target (i.e., SINK).
Also adds a new target feature to X86: +lvi-load-hardening
The feature can be added via the clang CLI using -mlvi-hardening.

This is currently enabled for Intel big cores from Sandy Bridge onward, as well as Atom, Silvermont, and KNL, due to 64-bit division being so slow on these cores. AMD cores can do this in hardware (use 32-bit division based on input operand width), so it's not a win there. But since the majority of x86 CPUs benefit from this optimization, and since the potential upside is significantly greater than the downside, we should enable this for the generic x86-64 target.

This pass replaces each indirect call/jump with a direct call to a thunk that looks like:
lfence
jmpq *%r11
This ensures that if the value in register %r11 was loaded from memory, then
the value in %r11 is (architecturally) correct prior to the jump.
Also adds a new target feature to X86: +lvi-cfi
("cfi" meaning control-flow integrity)
The feature can be added via clang CLI using -mlvi-cfi.
This is an alternate implementation to https://reviews.llvm.org/D75934 That merges the thunk insertion functionality with the existing X86 retpoline code.

Back in D42616, we switched our default nop length from 15 to 10 bytes because some platforms have painful decode stalls when encountering multiple instruction prefixes. (10 byte long nops come from the fact that prefixes are used to pad after 8 bytes, and some platforms have issues w/more than two prefixes.)
Based on Agner's guides, it appears to be the case that modern Intel (SandyBridge and later) can decode an arbitrary number of prefixes without issue. Intel's guide only provides up to 9 bytes; I read that as providing a safe default for all their chips. Older chips and Atom series have serious decode stalls. I can't find a conclusive reference beyond those two.

Lets us remove another SLM proc family flag usage.
This is NFC, but we should probably check whether atom/glm/knl? should be using this flag as well...
The patch gives out the details of the znver2 scheduler model.
There are few improvements with respect to execution units, latencies and
throughput when compared with znver1.
The tests that were present for znver1 for llvm-mca tool were replicated.
The latencies, execution units, timeline and throughput information are updated for znver2.

-mvzeroupper will force the vzeroupper insertion pass to run on
CPUs that normally wouldn't. -mno-vzeroupper disables it on CPUs
where it normally runs.
To support this with the default feature handling in clang, we
need a vzeroupper feature flag in X86.td. Since this flag has
the opposite polarity of the fast-partial-ymm-or-zmm-write we
used to use to disable the pass, we now need to add this new
flag to every CPU except KNL/KNM and BTVER2 to keep identical
behavior.
Remove -fast-partial-ymm-or-zmm-write which is no longer used.

PTEST and especially the MOVMSK instructions are slow on Knights Landing
or later. As a bonus, this patch increases instruction parallelism by
emitting:
KORTEST(PCMPNEQ(a, b), PCMPNEQ(c, d)) == 0
Instead of:
KORTEST(AND(PCMPEQ(a, b), PCMPEQ(c, d))) == ~0

Summary:
This allows enabling useaa on the command-line and will allow enabling the
feature on a per-CPU basis where benchmarking shows improvements.
This is modelled after the ARM/AArch64 target.

AVX512 instructions can cause a frequency drop on these CPUs. This
can negate the performance gains from using wider vectors. Enabling
prefer-vector-width=256 will prevent generation of zmm registers
unless explicit 512 bit operations are used in the original source
code.
I believe gcc and icc both do something similar to this by default.

Similar to the previous prefer-256-bit flag. We might want to

D61068 handled vector shifts, this patch does the same for scalars where there are similar number of pipes for shifts as bit ops - this is true almost entirely for AMD targets where the scalar ALUs are well balanced.
This combine avoids AND immediate mask which usually means we reduce encoding size.
Some tests show use of (slow, scaled) LEA instead of SHL in some cases, but thats due to particular shift immediates - shift+mask generate these just as easily.

As detailed on PR40758, Bobcat/Jaguar can perform vector immediate shifts on the same pipes as vector ANDs with the same latency - so it doesn't make sense to replace a shl+lshr with a shift+and pair as it requires an additional mask (with the extra constant pool, loading and register pressure costs).

CMPXCHG8B was introduced on i586/pentium generation.
If its not enabled, limit the atomic width to 32 bits so the AtomicExpandPass will expand to lib calls. Unclear if we should be using a different limit for other configs. The default is 1024 and experimentation shows that using an i256 atomic will cause a crash in SelectionDAG.

ProcFeatures was a class that just concatenated two feature lists together and gave it a name. We used it to inherit features between CPUs.
ProcModel took a two CPU feature lists and concatenated them before deferring to ProcessorModel. This was to allow inherited features and specific features to be passed to each CPU.
Both of these allowed for only very rigid CPU inheritance rules.
With this patch we now store all of the lists we were using for inheritance in one object and do any list oncatenation we want there. Then we just pass whatever list we want from this class into the ProcessorModel class for each CPU.
Hopefully this gives us more flexibility to build up feature lists in whatever ways we think make sense. Perhaps untangling ISA flags and tuning flags.
I've only touched the CPUs that were directly affected by the removal of the ProcModel and ProcFeatures classes. We should move more of the feature lists into ProcessorFeatures.

Summary:
Inc and Dec were at one point slow on Intel CPUs due to their tendency to cause partial flag stalls on P6 derived CPU cores. This is because these instructions are defined to preserve the carry flag. This partial flag stall issue persisted until Sandy Bridge when flag merging was changed to be handled as a data dependency instead of as a stall until retirement. Sandy Bridge and later CPUs rename the C flag separately from OSPAZ so there is no flag merge needed on INC/DEC to preserve the C flag.
Given these improvements I don't know why INC/DEC was ever considered slow on Sandy Bridge. If anything they should have been disabled on the earlier CPUs instead.
Note after this patch, INC/DEC are still considered slow on Silvermont, Goldmont, Knights Landing and our generic "x86-64" CPU.

Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
