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.

Over the entire test-suite, this has an insignificantly negative average
performance impact, but reduces some of the worst slowdowns from the
anti-dep. change (r158294).
Largest speedups:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Stanford/Quicksort - 28%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Stanford/Towers - 24%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/matrix - 23%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/SciMark2-C/scimark2 - 19%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/MiBench/automotive-bitcount/automotive-bitcount - 15%
(matrix and automotive-bitcount were both in the top-5 slowdown list from the
anti-dep. change)
Largest slowdowns:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/McCat/03-testtrie/testtrie - 28%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mediabench/gsm/toast/toast - 26%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/MiBench/automotive-susan/automotive-susan - 21%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/lpbench - 20%
MultiSource/Applications/d/make_dparser - 16%
