Summary:
Adds assembly parsing support for the module summary index (follow on
to r333335 which added the assembly writing support).
I added support to llvm-as to invoke the index parsing, so that it can
create either a bitcode file with a Module and a per-module index, or
a combined index without a Module.
I will send follow on patches soon to do the following:
- add support to tools such as llvm-lto2 to parse the per-module indexes
from assembly instead of bitcode when testing the thin link.
- verification support.
Depends on D47844 and D47842.

Summary:
This allows targets to override code generation for some instructions.
As an example of override, this also moves ad-hoc instruction filtering
for X86 into the X86 ExegesisTarget.

Summary:
This change renames the Backend and BackendPrinter to Pipeline and PipelinePrinter respectively.
Variables and comments have also been updated to reflect this change.
The reason for this rename, is to be slightly more correct about what MCA is modeling. MCA models a Pipeline, which implies some logical sequence of stages.

The DispatchUnit is no longer a dependency of RCU, so this patch removes a
stale include and forward decl. This patch also cleans up some comments.
llvm-svn: 335392
Summary:
Remove explicit stages and introduce a list of stages.
A pipeline should be composed of an arbitrary list of stages, and not any
predefined list of stages in the Backend. The Backend should not know of any
particular stage, rather it should only be concerned that it has a list of
stages, and that those stages will fulfill the contract of what it means to be
a Stage (namely pre/post/execute a given instruction).
For now, we leave the original set of stages defined in the Backend ctor;
however, I imagine these will be moved out at a later time.
This patch makes an adjustment to the semantics of Stage::isReady.
Specifically, what the Backend really needs to know is if a Stage has
unfinished work. With that said, it is more appropriately renamed
Stage::hasWorkToComplete(). This change will clean up the check in
Backend::run(), allowing us to query each stage to see if there is unfinished
work, regardless of what subclass a stage might be. I feel that this change
simplifies the semantics too, but that's a subjective statement.
Given how RetireStage and ExecuteStage handle data in their preExecute(), I've
had to change the order of Retire and Execute in our stage list. Retire must
complete any of its preExecute actions before ExecuteStage's preExecute can
take control. This is mainly because both stages utilize the RCU. In the
meantime, I want to see if I can adjust that or remove that coupling.

After the recent refactoring that introduced parallel handling of
different object, the binary holder became unique per object file. This
defeats its optimization of caching archives, leading to an archive
being opened for every binary it contains. This is obviously unfortunate
and will need to be refactored soon.
Luckily in practice, the impact of this is limited as most files are
mmap'ed instead of memcopy'd. There's a caveat however: when the memory
buffer requires a null terminator and it's a multiple of the page size,
we allocate instead of mmap'ing. If this happens for a static archive,
we end up with N copies of it in memory, where N is the number of
objects in the archive, leading to exuberant memory usage. This provided
a stopgap solution to ensure that all the files it loads are mmap in
memory by removing the requirement for a terminating null byte.

This patch teaches llvm-mca how to identify register writes that implicitly zero
the upper portion of a super-register.
On X86-64, a general purpose register is implemented in hardware as a 64-bit
register. Quoting the Intel 64 Software Developer's Manual: "an update to the
lower 32 bits of a 64 bit integer register is architecturally defined to zero
extend the upper 32 bits". Also, a write to an XMM register performed by an AVX
instruction implicitly zeroes the upper 128 bits of the aliasing YMM register.
This patch adds a new method named clearsSuperRegisters to the MCInstrAnalysis
interface to help identify instructions that implicitly clear the upper portion
of a super-register. The rest of the patch teaches llvm-mca how to use that new
method to obtain the information, and update the register dependencies
accordingly.
I compared the kernels from tests clear-super-register-1.s and
clear-super-register-2.s against the output from perf on btver2. Previously
there was a large discrepancy between the estimated IPC and the measured IPC.
Now the differences are mostly in the noise.

Fixes PR37790.
In some (very rare) cases, the LSUnit (Load/Store unit) was wrongly marking a
load (or store) as "ready to execute" effectively bypassing older memory barrier
instructions.
To reproduce this bug, the memory barrier must be the first instruction in the
input assembly sequence, and it doesn't have to perform any register writes.
