This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.

int tries = INT_MAX;
while (tries > 0) {
tries--;
}
The check should be:
subs r4, #1
cmp r4, #0
bgt LBB0_1
The subs can set the overflow V bit when r4 is INT_MAX+1 (which loop
canonicalization apparently does in this case). cmp #0 would have cleared
it while not changing the N and Z bits. Since BGT is dependent on the V
bit, i.e. (N == V) && !Z, it is not safe to eliminate the cmp #0.
