Quentin Colombet b4c6886215 [ShrinkWrap] Refactor the handling of infinite loop in the analysis.
- Strenghten the logic to be sure we hoist the restore point out of the current
  loop. (The fixes a bug with infinite loop, added as part of the patch.)
- Walk over the exit blocks of the current loop to conver to the desired restore
  point in one iteration of the update loop.

Quentin Colombet dc29c973e5 [ShrinkWrapping] Fix an infinite loop while looking for restore point.
This may happen when the input program itself contains an infinite loop with no
exit block. In that case, we would fail to find a block post-dominating the loop
such that this block is outside of the loop.

This fixes PR24823.
Working on reducing the test case.

Kit Barton d3cc1678e8 Rework of the new interface for shrink wrapping
Based on comments from Hal
(http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20150810/292978.html),
I've changed the interface to add a callback mechanism to the
TargetFrameLowering class to query whether the specific target
supports shrink wrapping.  By default, shrink wrapping is disabled by
default. Each target can override the default behaviour using the
TargetFrameLowering::targetSupportsShrinkWrapping() method. Shrink
wrapping can still be explicitly enabled or disabled from the command
line, using the existing -enable-shrink-wrap=<true|false> option.

Kit Barton a7bf96ab5c Fix possible infinite loop in shrink wrapping when searching for save/restore
points.

There is an infinite loop that can occur in Shrink Wrapping while searching 
for the Save/Restore points. 

Part of this search checks whether the save/restore points are located in
different loop nests and if so, uses the (post) dominator trees to find the
immediate (post) dominator blocks. However, if the current block does not have
any immediate (post) dominators then this search will result in an infinite
loop. This can occur in code containing an infinite loop.

The modification checks whether the immediate (post) dominator is different from
the current save/restore block. If it is not, then the search terminates and the
current location is not considered as a valid save/restore point for shrink wrapping.

Kit Barton 45c20b474e This patch changes the interface to enable the shrink wrapping optimization.
It adds a new constructor, which takes a std::function predicate function that
is run at the beginning of shrink wrapping to determine whether the optimization
should run on the given machine function. The std::function can be overridden by
each target, allowing target-specific decisions to be made on each machine
function.

This is necessary for PowerPC, as the decision to run shrink wrapping is
partially based on the ABI. Futhermore, this operates nicely with the GCC iFunc
capability, which allows option overrides on a per-function basis.

Matthias Braun fa3872e7ad MachineInstr: Change return value of getOpcode() to unsigned.
This was previously returning int. However there are no negative opcode
numbers and more importantly this was needlessly different from
MCInstrDesc::getOpcode() (which even is the value returned here) and
SDValue::getOpcode()/SDNode::getOpcode().

Quentin Colombet 61b305edfd [ShrinkWrap] Add (a simplified version) of shrink-wrapping.
This patch introduces a new pass that computes the safe point to insert the
prologue and epilogue of the function.
The interest is to find safe points that are cheaper than the entry and exits
blocks.

As an example and to avoid regressions to be introduce, this patch also
implements the required bits to enable the shrink-wrapping pass for AArch64.


** Context **

Currently we insert the prologue and epilogue of the method/function in the
entry and exits blocks. Although this is correct, we can do a better job when
those are not immediately required and insert them at less frequently executed
places.
The job of the shrink-wrapping pass is to identify such places.


** Motivating example **

Let us consider the following function that perform a call only in one branch of
a if:
define i32 @f(i32 %a, i32 %b)  {
 %tmp = alloca i32, align 4
 %tmp2 = icmp slt i32 %a, %b
 br i1 %tmp2, label %true, label %false

true:
 store i32 %a, i32* %tmp, align 4
 %tmp4 = call i32 @doSomething(i32 0, i32* %tmp)
 br label %false

false:
 %tmp.0 = phi i32 [ %tmp4, %true ], [ %a, %0 ]
 ret i32 %tmp.0
}

On AArch64 this code generates (removing the cfi directives to ease
readabilities):
_f:                                     ; @f
; BB#0:
  stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
  mov  x29, sp
  sub sp, sp, #16             ; =16
  cmp  w0, w1
  b.ge  LBB0_2
; BB#1:                                 ; %true
  stur  w0, [x29, #-4]
  sub x1, x29, #4             ; =4
  mov  w0, wzr
  bl  _doSomething
LBB0_2:                                 ; %false
  mov  sp, x29
  ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
  ret

With shrink-wrapping we could generate:
_f:                                     ; @f
; BB#0:
  cmp  w0, w1
  b.ge  LBB0_2
; BB#1:                                 ; %true
  stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
  mov  x29, sp
  sub sp, sp, #16             ; =16
  stur  w0, [x29, #-4]
  sub x1, x29, #4             ; =4
  mov  w0, wzr
  bl  _doSomething
  add sp, x29, #16            ; =16
  ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
LBB0_2:                                 ; %false
  ret

Therefore, we would pay the overhead of setting up/destroying the frame only if
we actually do the call.


** Proposed Solution **

This patch introduces a new machine pass that perform the shrink-wrapping
analysis (See the comments at the beginning of ShrinkWrap.cpp for more details).
It then stores the safe save and restore point into the MachineFrameInfo
attached to the MachineFunction.
This information is then used by the PrologEpilogInserter (PEI) to place the
related code at the right place. This pass runs right before the PEI.

Unlike the original paper of Chow from PLDI’88, this implementation of
shrink-wrapping does not use expensive data-flow analysis and does not need hack
to properly avoid frequently executed point. Instead, it relies on dominance and
loop properties.

The pass is off by default and each target can opt-in by setting the
EnableShrinkWrap boolean to true in their derived class of TargetPassConfig.
This setting can also be overwritten on the command line by using
-enable-shrink-wrap.

Before you try out the pass for your target, make sure you properly fix your
emitProlog/emitEpilog/adjustForXXX method to cope with basic blocks that are not
necessarily the entry block.


** Design Decisions **

1. ShrinkWrap is its own pass right now. It could frankly be merged into PEI but
for debugging and clarity I thought it was best to have its own file.
2. Right now, we only support one save point and one restore point. At some
point we can expand this to several save point and restore point, the impacted
component would then be:
- The pass itself: New algorithm needed.
- MachineFrameInfo: Hold a list or set of Save/Restore point instead of one
  pointer.
- PEI: Should loop over the save point and restore point.
Anyhow, at least for this first iteration, I do not believe this is interesting
to support the complex cases. We should revisit that when we motivating
examples.
