the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.

[Joe Groff] Hi everyone. My previous patch applied as r151382 had a few problems:
Clang raised a warning, and X86 LowerOperation would assert out for
fptoui f64 to i32 because it improperly lowered to an illegal
BUILD_PAIR. Here's a patch that addresses these issues. Let me know if
any other changes are necessary. Thanks.

X86ISelLowering C++ code. Because this is lowered via an xor wrapped
around a bsr, we want the dagcombine which runs after isel lowering to
have a chance to clean things up. In particular, it is very common to
see code which looks like:
(sizeof(x)*8 - 1) ^ __builtin_clz(x)
Which is trying to compute the most significant bit of 'x'. That's
actually the value computed directly by the 'bsr' instruction, but if we
match it too late, we'll get completely redundant xor instructions.
The more naive code for the above (subtracting rather than using an xor)
still isn't handled correctly due to the dagcombine getting confused.
Also, while here fix an issue spotted by inspection: we should have been
expanding the zero-undef variants to the normal variants when there is
an 'lzcnt' instruction. Do so, and test for this. We don't want to
generate unnecessary 'bsr' instructions.
These two changes fix some regressions in encoding and decoding
benchmarks. However, there is still a *lot* to be improve on in this
type of code.

with a vector condition); such selects become VSELECT codegen nodes.
This patch also removes VSETCC codegen nodes, unifying them with SETCC
nodes (codegen was actually often using SETCC for vector SETCC already).
This ensures that various DAG combiner optimizations kick in for vector
comparisons. Passes dragonegg bootstrap with no testsuite regressions
(nightly testsuite as well as "make check-all"). Patch mostly by
Nadav Rotem.

init.trampoline and adjust.trampoline intrinsics, into two intrinsics
like in GCC. While having one combined intrinsic is tempting, it is
not natural because typically the trampoline initialization needs to
be done in one function, and the result of adjust trampoline is needed
in a different (nested) function. To get around this llvm-gcc hacks the
nested function lowering code to insert an additional parent variable
holding the adjust.trampoline result that can be accessed from the child
function. Dragonegg doesn't have the luxury of tweaking GCC code, so it
stored the result of adjust.trampoline in the memory GCC set aside for
the trampoline itself (this is always available in the child function),
and set up some new memory (using an alloca) to hold the trampoline.
Unfortunately this breaks Go which allocates trampoline memory on the
heap and wants to use it even after the parent has exited (!). Rather
than doing even more hacks to get Go working, it seemed best to just use
two intrinsics like in GCC. Patch mostly by Sanjoy Das.

code is inserted to first check if the current stacklet has enough
space. If so, space is allocated by simply decrementing the stack
pointer. Otherwise a runtime routine (__morestack_allocate_stack_space
in libgcc) is called which allocates the required memory from the
heap.

from DYNAMIC_STACKALLOC.
Two new pseudo instructions (SEG_ALLOCA_32 and SEG_ALLOCA_64) which
will match X86SegAlloca (based on word size) are also added. They
will be custom emitted to inject the actual stack handling code.

match splats in the form (splat (scalar_to_vector (load ...))) whenever
the load can be folded. All the logic and instruction emission is
working but because of PR8156, there are no ways to match loads, cause
they can never be folded for splats. Thus, the tests are XFAILed, but
I've tested and exercised all the logic using a relaxed version for
checking the foldable loads, as if the bug was already fixed. This
should work out of the box once PR8156 gets fixed since MayFoldLoad will
work as expected.
