This patch assigns cost of the scaling used in addressing.
On many ARM cores, a negated register offset takes longer than a
non-negated register offset, in a register-offset addressing mode.
For instance:
LDR R0, [R1, R2 LSL #2]
LDR R0, [R1, -R2 LSL #2]
Above, (1) takes less cycles than (2).
By assigning appropriate scaling factor cost, we enable the LLVM
to make the right trade-offs in the optimization and code-selection phase.

Reverts r283938 to reinstate r283867 with a fix.
The original change had an ArrayRef referring to a destroyed temporary
initializer list. Use plain C arrays instead.
llvm-svn: 283942
The high registers are not allocatable in Thumb1 functions, but they
could still be used by inline assembly, so we need to save and restore
the callee-saved high registers (r8-r11) in the prologue and epilogue.
This is complicated by the fact that the Thumb1 push and pop
instructions cannot access these registers. Therefore, we have to move
them down into low registers before pushing, and move them back after
popping into low registers.
In most functions, we will have low registers that are also being
pushed/popped, which we can use as the temporary registers for
saving/restoring the high registers. However, this is not guaranteed, so
we may need to push some extra low registers to ensure that the high
registers can be saved/restored. For correctness, it would be sufficient
to use just one low register, but if we have enough low registers
available then we only need one push/pop instruction, rather than one
per high register.
We can also use the argument/return registers when they are not live,
and the link register when saving (but not restoring), reducing the
number of extra registers we need to push.
There are still a few extreme edge cases where we need two push/pop
instructions, because not enough low registers can be made live in the
prologue or epilogue.
In addition to the regression tests included here, I've also tested this
using a script to generate functions which clobber different
combinations of registers, have different numbers of argument and return
registers (including variadic arguments), allocate different fixed sized
objects on the stack, and do or don't use variable sized allocas and the
__builtin_return_address intrinsic (all of which affect the available
registers in the prologue and epilogue). I ran these functions in a test
harness which verifies that all of the callee-saved registers are
correctly preserved.

There is not an official documented ABI for frame pointers in Thumb2,
but we should try to emit something which is useful.
We use r7 as the frame pointer for Thumb code, which currently means
that if a function needs to save a high register (r8-r11), it will get
pushed to the stack between the frame pointer (r7) and link register
(r14). This means that while a stack unwinder can follow the chain of
frame pointers up the stack, it cannot know the offset to lr, so does
not know which functions correspond to the stack frames.
To fix this, we need to push the callee-saved registers in two batches,
with the first push saving the low registers, fp and lr, and the second
push saving the high registers. This is already implemented, but
previously only used for iOS. This patch turns it on for all Thumb2
targets when frame pointers are required by the ABI, and the frame
pointer is r7 (Windows uses r11, so this isn't a problem there). If
frame pointer elimination is enabled we still emit a single push/pop
even if we need a frame pointer for other reasons, to avoid increasing
code size.
We must also ensure that lr is pushed to the stack when using a frame
pointer, so that we end up with a complete frame record. Situations that
could cause this were rare, because we already push lr in most
situations so that we can return using the pop instruction.

This patch adds support for some new relocation models to the ARM
backend:
* Read-only position independence (ROPI): Code and read-only data is accessed
PC-relative. The offsets between all code and RO data sections are known at
static link time. This does not affect read-write data.
* Read-write position independence (RWPI): Read-write data is accessed relative
to the static base register (r9). The offsets between all writeable data
sections are known at static link time. This does not affect read-only data.
These two modes are independent (they specify how different objects
should be addressed), so they can be used individually or together. They
are otherwise the same as the "static" relocation model, and are not
compatible with SysV-style PIC using a global offset table.
These modes are normally used by bare-metal systems or systems with
small real-time operating systems. They are designed to avoid the need
for a dynamic linker, the only initialisation required is setting r9 to
an appropriate value for RWPI code.
I have only added support to SelectionDAG, not FastISel, because
FastISel is currently disabled for bare-metal targets where these modes
would be used.

This is a follow-up for r273544.
The end goal is to get rid of the isSwift / isCortexXY / isWhatever methods.
This commit also removes a command line flag that isn't used in any of the tests:
check-vmlx-hazards. It can be replaced easily with the mattr mechanism, since
this is now a subtarget feature.
There is still some work left regarding FeatureExpandMLx. In the past MLx
expansion was enabled for subtargets with hasVFP2(), until r129775 [1] switched
from that to isCortexA9, without too much justification.
In spite of that, the code performing MLx expansion still contains calls to
isSwift/isLikeA9, although the results of those are pretty clear given that
we're only enabling it for the A9.
We should try to enable it for all targets that have FeatureHasVMLxHazards, as
it seems to be closely related to that behaviour, and if that is possible try to
clean up the MLx expansion pass from all calls to isWhatever. This will require
some performance testing, so it will be done in another patch.

When setting the frame pointer, the offset from SP is calculated based on the
stack slot it gets allocated, but this slot is in turn based on the order of
the CSR list so that list should match the order we actually save the registers
in. Mostly it did, but in the edge-case of MachO AAPCS targets it was wrong.

This adds subtarget features for ARMv8.2-A, which builds on (and
requires the features from) ARMv8.1-A. Most assembler-visible features
of ARMv8.2-A are system instructions, and are all required parts of the
architecture, so just depend on the HasV8_2aOps subtarget feature.
There is also one large, optional feature, which adds 16-bit floating
point versions of all existing floating-point instructions (VFP and
SIMD), this is represented by the FeatureFullFP16 subtarget feature.

The patch corrects the handling of the names.
Functional changes:
* ARMv6Z no longer treated as an architecture in its own right
* ARMv6ZK renamed to ARMv6KZ, accepting ARMv6ZK as an alias
* arm1176jz-s and arm1176jzf-s recognized as ARMv6ZK, instead of ARMv6K
* default ARMv6K CPU changed to arm1176j-s

Hence in GNUEABI targets LLVM should not convert 'memops' to their equivalent
'__aeabi_memops'. This convertion violates GCC contract.
The -meabi flag controls whether or not LLVM will modify 'memops' in GNUEABI
targets.
Without -meabi: use the triple default EABI.
With -meabi=default: use the triple default EABI.
With -meabi=gnu: use 'memops'.
With -meabi=4 or -meabi=5: use '__aeabi_memops'.
With -meabi set to an unknown value: same as -meabi=default.

Reapply r242500 now that the swift schedmodel includes LDRLIT.
This is mostly done to disable the PostRAScheduler which optimizes for
instruction latencies which isn't a good fit for out-of-order
architectures. This also allows to leave out the itinerary table in
swift in favor of the SchedModel ones.
This change leads to performance improvements/regressions by as much as
10% in some benchmarks, in fact we loose 0.4% performance over the
llvm-testsuite for reasons that appear to be unknown or out of the
compilers control. rdar://20803802 documents the investigation of
these effects.
While it is probably a good idea to perform the same switch for the
other ARM out-of-order CPUs, I limited this change to swift as I cannot
perform the benchmark verification on the other CPUs.
