The TOC base pointer is passed in r2, and we normally reserve this register so
that we can depend on it being there. However, for leaf functions, and
specifically those leaf functions that don't do any TOC access of their own
(which is generally due to accessing the constant pool, using TLS, etc.),
we can treat r2 as an ordinary callee-saved register (it must be callee-saved
because, for local direct calls, the linker will not insert any save/restore
code).
The allocation order has been changed slightly for PPC64/ELF systems to put r2
at the end of the list (while leaving it near the beginning for Darwin systems
to prevent unnecessary output changes). While r2 is allocatable, using it still
requires spill/restore traffic, and thus comes at the end of the list.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

Support for the intrinsics that read from and write to global named registers
is added for r1, r2 and r13 (depending on the subtarget).
