This commit introduces a set of experimental intrinsics intended to prevent
optimizations that make assumptions about the rounding mode and floating point
exception behavior. These intrinsics will later be extended to specify
flush-to-zero behavior. More work is also required to model instruction
dependencies in machine code and to generate these instructions from clang
(when required by pragmas and/or command line options that are not currently
supported).

GVN-Hoist appears to miscompile llvm-testsuite
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/fbench.c at the moment.
I filed http://llvm.org/PR28880
This reverts commit r277786.
llvm-svn: 277909
Summary:
Adding a flag to diable GVN Hoisting by default.
Note: The GVN Hoist Pass causes some Halide tests to hang. Halide will disable the pass while investigating.

Summary:
The llvm.invariant.start and llvm.invariant.end intrinsics currently
support specifying invariant memory objects only in the default address
space.
With this change, these intrinsics are overloaded for any adddress space
for memory objects
and we can use these llvm invariant intrinsics in non-default address
spaces.
Example: llvm.invariant.start.p1i8(i64 4, i8 addrspace(1)* %ptr)
This overloaded intrinsic is needed for representing final or invariant
memory in managed languages.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

An oddity of the .ll syntax is that the "@var = " in
@var = global i32 42
is optional. Writing just
global i32 42
is equivalent to
@0 = global i32 42
This means that there is a pretty big First set at the top level. The
current implementation maintains it manually. I was trying to refactor
it, but then started wondering why keep it a all. I personally find the
above syntax confusing. It looks like something is missing.
This patch removes the feature and simplifies the parser.

Summary:
This is intended to be a performance flag, on the same level as clang
cc1 option "--disable-free". LLVM will never initialize it by default,
it will be up to the client creating the LLVMContext to request this
behavior. Clang will do it by default in Release build (just like
--disable-free).
"opt" and "llc" can opt-in using -disable-named-value command line
option.
When performing LTO on llvm-tblgen, the initial merging of IR peaks
at 92MB without this patch, and 86MB after this patch,setNameImpl()
drops from 6.5MB to 0.5MB.
The total link time goes from ~29.5s to ~27.8s.
Compared to a compile-time flag (like the IRBuilder one), it performs
very close. I profiled on SROA and obtain these results:
420ms with IRBuilder that preserve name
372ms with IRBuilder that strip name
375ms with IRBuilder that preserve name, and a runtime flag to strip

In general, memory restrictions on a called function (e.g. readnone)

Summary:
Funclet EH personalities require a tree-like nesting among funclets
(enforced by the ParentPad linkage in the IR), and also require that
unwind edges conform to certain rules with respect to the tree:
- An unwind edge may exit 0 or more ancestor pads
- An unwind edge must enter exactly one EH pad, which must be distinct
from any exited pads
- A cleanupret's edge must exit its cleanuppad
Describe these rules in the LangRef, and enforce them in the verifier.

It turns out that terminatepad gives little benefit over a cleanuppad
which calls the termination function. This is not sufficient to
implement fully generic filters but MSVC doesn't support them which
makes terminatepad a little over-designed.
Depends on D15478.

While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

Teach LLVM optimize to more precisely in the presence of "deopt" operand
bundles. "deopt" operand bundles imply that the call they're attached
to is at least `readonly` (i.e. they don't imply clobber semantics), and
they don't capture their bundle operands.

Earlier CaptureTracking would assume all "interesting" operands to a
call or invoke were its arguments. With operand bundles this is no
longer true.
Note: an earlier change got `doesNotCapture` working correctly with
operand bundles.
This change uses DSE to test the changes to CaptureTracking. DSE is a
vehicle for testing only, and is not directly involved in this change.

If a `CallSite` has operand bundles, then do not peek into the called

Summary:
This makes attribute accessors on `CallInst` and `InvokeInst` do the
(conservatively) right thing. This essentially involves, in some
cases, *not* falling back querying the attributes on the called
`llvm::Function` when operand bundles are present.
Attributes locally present on the `CallInst` or `InvokeInst` will still
override operand bundle semantics. The LangRef has been amended to
reflect this. Note: this change does not do anything prevent
`-function-attrs` from inferring `CallSite` local attributes after
inspecting the called function -- that will be done as a separate
change.
I've used `-adce` and `-early-cse` to test these changes. There is
nothing special about these passes (and they did not require any
changes) except that they seemed be the easiest way to write the tests.
This change does not add deal with `argmemonly`. That's a later change
because alias analysis requires a related fix before `argmemonly` can be
tested.

HHVM calling convention, hhvmcc, is used by HHVM JIT for
functions in translated cache. We currently support LLVM back end to
generate code for X86-64 and may support other architectures in the
future.
In HHVM calling convention any GP register could be used to pass and
return values, with the exception of R12 which is reserved for
thread-local area and is callee-saved. Other than R12, we always
pass RBX and RBP as args, which are our virtual machine's stack pointer
and frame pointer respectively.
When we enter translation cache via hhvmcc function, we expect
the stack to be aligned at 16 bytes, i.e. skewed by 8 bytes as opposed
to standard ABI alignment. This affects stack object alignment and stack
adjustments for function calls.
One extra calling convention, hhvm_ccc, is used to call C++ helpers from
HHVM's translation cache. It is almost identical to standard C calling
convention with an exception of first argument which is passed in RBP
(before we use RDI, RSI, etc.)

When building LLVM as a (potentially dynamic) library that can be linked against
by multiple compilers, the default triple is not really meaningful.
We allow to explicitely set it to an empty string when configuring LLVM.
In this case, said "target independent" tests in the test suite that are using
the default triple are disabled by matching the newly available feature
"default_triple".

Summary:
Add a `cleanupendpad` instruction, used to mark exceptional exits out of
cleanups (for languages/targets that can abort a cleanup with another
exception). The `cleanupendpad` instruction is similar to the `catchendpad`
instruction in that it is an EH pad which is the target of unwind edges in
the handler and which itself has an unwind edge to the next EH action.
The `cleanupendpad` instruction, similar to `cleanupret` has a `cleanuppad`
argument indicating which cleanup it exits. The unwind successors of a
`cleanuppad`'s `cleanupendpad`s must agree with each other and with its
`cleanupret`s.
Update WinEHPrepare (and docs/tests) to accomodate `cleanupendpad`.
