On modern Intel processors hardware SQRT in many cases is faster than RSQRT
followed by Newton-Raphson refinement. The patch introduces a simple heuristic
to choose between hardware SQRT instruction and Newton-Raphson software
estimation.
The patch treats scalars and vectors differently. The heuristic is that for
scalars the compiler should optimize for latency while for vectors it should
optimize for throughput. It is based on the assumption that throughput bound
code is likely to be vectorized.
Basically, the patch disables scalar NR for big cores and disables NR completely
for Skylake. Firstly, scalar SQRT has shorter latency than NR code in big cores.
Secondly, vector SQRT has been greatly improved in Skylake and has better
throughput compared to NR.

The main difference is that StubDynamicNoPIC is gone. The
dynamic-no-pic mode as the name implies is simply not pic. It is just
conservative about what it assumes to be dso local.

This refactors the logic in X86 to avoid code duplication. It also
splits it in two steps: it first decides if a symbol is local to the DSO
and then uses that information to decide how to access it.
The first part is implemented by shouldAssumeDSOLocal. It is not in any
way specific to X86. In a followup patch I intend to move it to
somewhere common and reused it in other backends.

Summary:
MONITORX/MWAITX instructions provide similar capability to the MONITOR/MWAIT
pair while adding a timer function, such that another termination of the MWAITX
instruction occurs when the timer expires. The presence of the MONITORX and
MWAITX instructions is indicated by CPUID 8000_0001, ECX, bit 29.
The MONITORX and MWAITX instructions are intercepted by the same bits that
intercept MONITOR and MWAIT. MONITORX instruction establishes a range to be
monitored. MWAITX instruction causes the processor to stop instruction execution
and enter an implementation-dependent optimized state until occurrence of a
class of events.
Opcode of MONITORX instruction is "0F 01 FA". Opcode of MWAITX instruction is
"0F 01 FB". These opcode information is used in adding tests for the
disassembler.
These instructions are enabled for AMD's bdver4 architecture.

These instructions are not supported by all CPUs in 64-bit mode. Emitting them
causes Chromium to crash on start-up for users with such chips.
(GCC puts these instructions behind -msahf on 64-bit for the same reason.)
This patch adds FeatureLAHFSAHF, enables it by default for 32-bit targets
and modern CPUs, and changes X86InstrInfo::copyPhysReg back to the lowering
from before r244503 when the instructions are not available.

its own variable.
This is needed so that we can explicitly turn off MMX without turning
off SSE and also so that we can diagnose feature set incompatibilities
that involve MMX without SSE.
Rationale:
// sse3
__m128d test_mm_addsub_pd(__m128d A, __m128d B) {
return _mm_addsub_pd(A, B);
}
// mmx
void shift(__m64 a, __m64 b, int c) {
_mm_slli_pi16(a, c);
_mm_slli_pi32(a, c);
_mm_slli_si64(a, c);
_mm_srli_pi16(a, c);
_mm_srli_pi32(a, c);
_mm_srli_si64(a, c);
_mm_srai_pi16(a, c);
_mm_srai_pi32(a, c);
}
clang -msse3 -mno-mmx file.c -c
For this code we should be able to explicitly turn off MMX
without affecting the compilation of the SSE3 function and then
diagnose and error on compiling the MMX function.
This matches the existing gcc behavior and follows the spirit of
the SSE/MMX separation in llvm where we can (and do) turn off
MMX code generation except in the presence of intrinsics.
Updated a couple of tests, but primarily tested with a couple of tests
for turning on only mmx and only sse.
This is paired with a patch to clang to take advantage of this behavior.

Summary:
This is the first patch in the series to migrate Triple's (which are ambiguous)
to TargetTuple's (which aren't).
For the moment, TargetTuple simply passes all requests to the Triple object it
holds. Once it has replaced Triple, it will start to implement the interface in
a more suitable way.
This change makes some changes to the public C++ API. In particular,
InitMCSubtargetInfo(), createMCRelocationInfo(), and createMCSymbolizer()
now take TargetTuples instead of Triples. The other public C++ API's have
been left as-is for the moment to reduce patch size.
This commit also contains a trivial patch to clang to account for the C++ API
change. Thanks go to Pavel Labath for fixing LLDB for me.

This is a follow-on from the discussion in http://reviews.llvm.org/D12154.
This change allows memset/memcpy to use SSE or AVX memory accesses for any chip that has
generally fast unaligned memory ops.
A motivating use case for this change is a clang invocation that doesn't explicitly set
the CPU, but does target a feature that we know only exists on a CPU that supports fast
unaligned memops. For example:
$ clang -O1 foo.c -mavx
This resolves a difference in lowering noted in PR24449:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24449
Before this patch, we used different store types depending on whether the example can be
lowered as a memset or not.

This is a 'no functional change intended' patch. It removes one FIXME, but adds several more.
Motivation: the FeatureFastUAMem attribute may be too general. It is used to determine if any
sized misaligned memory access under 32-bytes is 'fast'. From the added FIXME comments, however,
you can see that we're not consistent about this. Changing the name of the attribute makes it
clearer to see the logic holes.
Changing this to a 'slow' attribute also means we don't have to add an explicit 'fast' attribute
to new chips; fast unaligned accesses have been standard for several generations of CPUs now.

Remove all calls to `MCSubtargetInfo::InitCPUSched()` and merge its body
into the only relevant caller, `MCSubtargetInfo::InitMCProcessorInfo()`.
We were only calling the former after explicitly calling the latter with
the same CPU; it's confusing to have both methods exposed.
Besides a minor (surely unmeasurable) speedup in ARM and X86 from
avoiding running the logic twice, no functionality change.

From the linker's perspective, an available_externally global is equivalent
to an external declaration (per isDeclarationForLinker()), so it is incorrect
to consider it to be a weak definition.
Also clean up some logic in the dead argument elimination pass and clarify
its comments to better explain how its behavior depends on linkage,
introduce GlobalValue::isStrongDefinitionForLinker() and start using
it throughout the optimizers and backend.

There is a one-to-one relationship between X86Subtarget and
X86FrameLowering, but every frame lowering method would previously pull
the subtarget off the MachineFunction and query some subtarget
properties.
Over time, these locals began to grow in complexity and it became
important to keep their names and meaning in sync across all of the
frame lowering methods, leading to duplication. We can eliminate that
duplication by computing them once in the constructor.

This patch adds a TargetRecip class for processing many recip codegen possibilities.
The class is intended to handle both command-line options to llc as well
as options passed in from a front-end such as clang with the -mrecip option.
The x86 backend is updated to use the new functionality.
Only -mcpu=btver2 with -ffast-math should see a functional change from this patch.
