Call instructions no longer have a list of 43 call-clobbered registers.
Instead, they get a single register mask operand with a bit vector of
call-preserved registers.
This saves a lot of memory, 42 x 32 bytes = 1344 bytes per call
instruction, and it speeds up building call instructions because those
43 imp-def operands no longer need to be added to use-def lists. (And
removed and shifted and re-added for every explicit call operand).
Passes like LiveVariables, LiveIntervals, RAGreedy, PEI, and
BranchFolding are significantly faster because they can deal with call
clobbers in bulk.
Overall, clang -O2 is between 0% and 8% faster, uniformly distributed
depending on call density in the compiled code. Debug builds using
clang -O0 are 0% - 3% faster.
I have verified that this patch doesn't change the assembly generated
for the LLVM nightly test suite when building with -disable-copyprop
and -disable-branch-fold.
Branch folding behaves slightly differently in a few cases because call
instructions have different hash values now.
Copy propagation flushes its data structures when it crosses a register
mask operand. This causes it to leave a few dead copies behind, on the
order of 20 instruction across the entire nightly test suite, including
SPEC. Fixing this properly would require the pass to use different data
structures.

Adds an instruction itinerary to all x86 instructions, giving each a default latency of 1, using the InstrItinClass IIC_DEFAULT.
Sets specific latencies for Atom for the instructions in files X86InstrCMovSetCC.td, X86InstrArithmetic.td, X86InstrControl.td, and X86InstrShiftRotate.td. The Atom latencies for the remainder of the x86 instructions will be set in subsequent patches.
Adds a test to verify that the scheduler is working.
Also changes the scheduling preference to "Hybrid" for i386 Atom, while leaving x86_64 as ILP.

The Win64 calling convention has xmm6-15 as callee-saved while still
clobbering all ymm registers.
Add a YMM_HI_6_15 pseudo-register that aliases the clobbered part of the
ymm registers, and mark that as call-clobbered. This allows live xmm
registers across calls.
This hack wouldn't be necessary with RegisterMask operands representing
the call clobbers, but they are not quite operational yet.

prologue and epilogue if the adjustment is 8. Similarly, use pushl / popl if
the adjustment is 4 in 32-bit mode.
In the epilogue, takes care to pop to a caller-saved register that's not live
at the exit (either return or tailcall instruction).

be more complete. These are only expected to be used by llvm-mc with assembly
source so there is no pattern, [], in the .td files. Most are being added to
X86InstrInfo.td as Chris suggested and only comments about register uses are
added. Suggestions welcome on the .td changes as I'm not sure on every detail
of the x86 records. More missing instructions will be coming.
