Each Calling convention (CC) defines a static list of registers that should be preserved by a callee function. All other registers should be saved by the caller.
Some CCs use additional condition: If the register is used for passing/returning arguments – the caller needs to save it - even if it is part of the Callee Saved Registers (CSR) list.
The current LLVM implementation doesn’t support it. It will save a register if it is part of the static CSR list and will not care if the register is passed/returned by the callee.
The solution is to dynamically allocate the CSR lists (Only for these CCs). The lists will be updated with actual registers that should be saved by the callee.
Since we need the allocated lists to live as long as the function exists, the list should reside inside the Machine Register Info (MRI) which is a property of the Machine Function and managed by it (and has the same life span).
The lists should be saved in the MRI and populated upon LowerCall and LowerFormalArguments.
The patch will also assist to implement future no_caller_saved_regsiters attribute intended for interrupt handler CC.

Isel now selects masked move instructions for vselect instead of blendm. But sometimes it beneficial to register allocation to remove the tied register constraint by using blendm instructions.
This also picks up cases where the masked move was created due to a masked load intrinsic.

We should probably teach the two address instruction pass to turn masked moves into BLENDM when its beneficial to the register allocator.

The change is part of RegCall calling convention support for LLVM.
Long double (f80) requires special treatment as the first f80 parameter is saved in FP0 (floating point stack).
This review present the change and the corresponding tests.

The Register Calling Convention (RegCall) was introduced by Intel to optimize parameter transfer on function call.
This calling convention ensures that as many values as possible are passed or returned in registers.
This commit presents the basic additions to LLVM CodeGen in order to support RegCall in X86.
