We were missing the modrm byte this instruction has according
to current Intel SDM. Experiments with gcc indicate that different
modrm values are chosen based on 2 operands so I've added those
as well.
I think our previous implementation was based on an older behavior of
binutils that has since been changed.
The spec for these says they need 0xf3 but also mentions REP
before the mnemonic. But I don't think its fair to users to make
them write REP first. And gas doesn't make them. objdump seems to
disassemble with or without the prefix and just prints any 0xf3
as REP.

After D80608, llvm-mc errors:
error: unknown use of instruction mnemonic without a size suffix
Summary:
Some instruction like VPMULDQ is NOT the variant of VPMULD but a new
one.
So we should make sure the suffix matcher only works for memory variant
that has the same size with the suffix.
Currently we only check for SSE/AVX* instructions, because many legacy
instructions didn't declare the alias instructions of their variants.

This does the same thing as {vex2}. Which is give an error
if the instruction can't be done with VEX. It doesn't force
the instruction to use 2 byte VEX. That's already the preference
if its possible. Therefore {vex} is a clearer name.
Neither gcc or icc support this. Split out from D79472. I want
to remove more, but it looks like icc does support some things
gcc doesn't and I need to double check our internal test suites.

For `.bss; nop`, MC inappropriately calls abort() (via report_fatal_error()) with a message
`cannot have fixups in virtual section!`
It is a bug to crash for invalid user input. Fix it by erroring out early in EmitInstToData().
Similarly, emitIntValue() in a virtual section (SHT_NOBITS in ELF) can crash with the mssage
`non-zero initializer found in section '.bss'` (see D4199)
It'd be nice to report the location but so many directives can call emitIntValue()
and it is difficult to track every location.
Note, COFF does not crash because MCAssembler::writeSectionData() is not
called for an IMAGE_SCN_CNT_UNINITIALIZED_DATA section.
Note, GNU as' arm64 backend reports ``Error: attempt to store non-zero value in section `.bss'``
for a non-zero .inst but fails to do so for other instructions.
We simply reject all instructions, even if the encoding is all zeros.

Summary:
Since D75300 has been landed, I want to support enhanced relaxation when we need to align branches and allow prefix padding. "Enhanced Relaxtion" means we allow an instruction that could not be traditionally relaxed to be emitted into RelaxableFragment so that we increase its length by adding prefixes for optimization.
The motivation is straightforward, RelaxFragment is mostly for relative jumps and we can not increase the length of jumps when we need to align them, so if we need to achieve D75300's purpose (reducing the bytes of nops) when need to align jumps, we have to make more instructions "relaxable".

Note that I'm not asserting this code is correct; I'm simply adding coverage for what's there already. I'm reasonable sure the logic works for existing relaxable instructions, but I wouldn't be suprised if there were incorrect cases for other instructions. (i.e. is it legal to add prefixes to all instructions?)
Now that D75203 has landed and baked for a few days, extend the basic approach to prefix padding as well. The patch itself is fairly straight forward.
For the moment, this patch adds the functional support and some basic testing there of, but defaults to not enabling prefix padding. I want to be able to phrase a separate patch which adds the target specific reasoning and test it cleanly. I haven't decided whether I want to common it with the nop logic or not.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D75300
Back in D42616, we switched our default nop length from 15 to 10 bytes because some platforms have painful decode stalls when encountering multiple instruction prefixes. (10 byte long nops come from the fact that prefixes are used to pad after 8 bytes, and some platforms have issues w/more than two prefixes.)
Based on Agner's guides, it appears to be the case that modern Intel (SandyBridge and later) can decode an arbitrary number of prefixes without issue. Intel's guide only provides up to 9 bytes; I read that as providing a safe default for all their chips. Older chips and Atom series have serious decode stalls. I can't find a conclusive reference beyond those two.

fragment, so the inserted empty Data fragment will be reused at a high
possibility.

If we have an explicit align directive, we currently default to emitting nops to fill the space. As discussed in the context of the prefix padding work for branch alignment (D72225), we're allowed to play other tricks such as extending the size of previous instructions instead.
This patch will convert near jumps to far jumps if doing so decreases the number of bytes of nops needed for a following align. It does so as a post-pass after relaxation is complete. It intentionally works without moving any labels or doing anything which might require another round of relaxation.
The point of this patch is mainly to mock out the approach. The optimization implemented is real, and possibly useful, but the main point is to demonstrate an approach for implementing such "pad previous instruction" approaches. The key notion in this patch is to treat padding previous instructions as an optional optimization, not as a core part of relaxation. The benefit to this is that we avoid the potential concern about increasing the distance between two labels and thus causing further potentially non-local code grown due to relaxation. The downside is that we may miss some opportunities to avoid nops.
For the moment, this patch only implements a small set of existing relaxations.. Assuming the approach is satisfactory, I plan to extend this to a broader set of instructions where there are obvious "relaxations" which are roughly performance equivalent.
Note that this patch *doesn't* change which instructions are relaxable. We may wish to explore that separately to increase optimization opportunity, but I figured that deserved it's own separate discussion.
There are possible downsides to this optimization (and all "pad previous instruction" variants). The major two are potentially increasing instruction fetch and perturbing uop caching. (i.e. the usual alignment risks) Specifically:
* If we pad an instruction such that it crosses a fetch window (16 bytes on modern X86-64), we may cause the decoder to have to trigger a fetch it wouldn't have otherwise. This can effect both decode speed, and icache pressure.
* Intel's uop caching have particular restrictions on instruction combinations which can fit in a particular way. By moving around instructions, we can both cause misses an change misses into hits. Many of the most painful cases are around branch density, so I don't expect this to be too bad on the whole.
On the whole, I expect to see small swings (i.e. the typical alignment change problem), but nothing major or systematic in either direction.

X86 has several instructions which are documented as enabling interrupts exactly one instruction *after* the one which changes the SS segment register. Inserting a nop between these two instructions allows an interrupt to arrive before the execution of the following instruction which changes semantic behaviour.
The list of instructions is documented in "Table 24-3. Format of Interruptibility State" in Volume 3c of the Intel manual. They basically all come down to different ways to write to the SS register.

Summary:
This patch could be treated as a rebase of D33960. It also fixes PR35547.
A fix for `llvm/test/Other/close-stderr.ll` is proposed in D68164. Seems
the consensus is that the test is passing by chance and I'm not
sure how important it is for us. So it is removed like in D33960 for now.
The rest of the test fixes are just adding `--crash` flag to `not` tool.
** The reason it fixes PR35547 is
`exit` does cleanup including calling class destructor whereas `abort`
does not do any cleanup. In multithreading environment such as ThinLTO or JIT,
threads may share states which mostly are ManagedStatic<>. If faulting thread
tearing down a class when another thread is using it, there are chances of
memory corruption. This is bad 1. It will stop error reporting like pretty
stack printer; 2. The memory corruption is distracting and nondeterministic in
terms of error message, and corruption type (depending one the timing, it
could be double free, heap free after use, etc.).

This flag was originally part of D70157, but was removed as we carved away pieces of the review. Since we have the nop support checked in, and it appears mature(*), I think it's time to add the master flag. For now, it will default to nop padding, but once the prefix padding support lands, we'll update the defaults.
(*) I can now confirm that downstream testing of the changes which have landed to date - nop padding and compiler support for suppressions - is passing all of the functional testing we've thrown at it. There might still be something lurking, but we've gotten enough coverage to be confident of the basic approach.
Note that the new flag can be used either when assembling an .s file, or when using the integrated assembler directly from the compiler. The later will use all of the suppression mechanism and should always generate correct code. We don't yet have assembly syntax for the suppressions, so passing this directly to the assembler w/a raw .s file may result in broken code. Use at your own risk.
Also note that this isn't the wiring for the clang option. I think the most recent review for that is D72227, but I've lost track, so that might be off.

For a target symbol defined in the same section, currently we don't emit
a relocation if VariantKind is VK_None (with few exceptions like RISC-V
relaxation), while GNU as emits one. This causes program behavior
differences with and without -ffunction-sections, and can break intended
symbol interposition in a -shared link.
```
.globl foo
foo:
call foo # no relocation. On other targets, may be written as b foo, etc
call bar # a relocation if bar is in another section (e.g. -ffunction-sections)
call foo@plt # a relocation
```
Unify these cases by always emitting a relocation. If we ever want to
optimize `call foo` in -shared links, we should emit a STB_LOCAL alias
and call via the alias.
ARM/thumb2-beq-fixup.s: we now emit a relocation to global_thumb_fn as GNU as does.
X86/Inputs/align-branch-64-2.s: we now emit R_X86_64_PLT32 to foo as GNU does.
ELF/relax.s: rewrite the test as target-in-same-section.s .
We omitted relocations to `global` and now emit R_X86_64_PLT32.

The primary motivation of this change is to bring the code more closely in sync behavior wise with the assembler's version of nop emission. I'd like to eventually factor them into one, but that's hard to do when one has features the other doesn't.
The longest encodeable nop on x86 is 15 bytes, but many processors - for instance all intel chips - can't decode the 15 byte form efficiently. On those processors, it's better to use either a 10 byte or 11 byte sequence depending.
The patch gives out the details of the znver2 scheduler model.
There are few improvements with respect to execution units, latencies and
