Runtime unrolling is an expensive optimization which can bring benefit
only if the loop is hot and iteration number is relatively large enough.
For some loops, we know they are not worth to be runtime unrolled.
The scalar loop from vectorization is one of the cases.

These came from my own experience and may not apply equally to all use cases. Any alternate perspective anyone has should be used to refine these.
As always, grammar and spelling adjustments are more than welcome. Please just directly commit a fix if you see something problematic.

Here's a rough/first draft - it at least hits the actual textual IR
examples and some of the phrasing. It's probably worth a full pass over,
but I'm not sure how much these docs should reflect the strange
intermediate state we're in anyway.
Totally open to lots of review/feedback/suggestions.

Ultimately, __CxxFrameHandler3 needs us to put a stack offset in a
table, and it will take responsibility for copying the exception object
into that slot. Modelling the exception object as an SSA value returned
by begincatch isn't going to work in general, so make it use an output
parameter.

Move the specialized metadata nodes for the new debug info hierarchy
into place, finishing off PR22464. I've done bootstraps (and all that)
and I'm confident this commit is NFC as far as DWARF output is
concerned. Let me know if I'm wrong :).
The code changes are fairly mechanical:
- Bumped the "Debug Info Version".
- `DIBuilder` now creates the appropriate subclass of `MDNode`.
- Subclasses of DIDescriptor now expect to hold their "MD"
counterparts (e.g., `DIBasicType` expects `MDBasicType`).
- Deleted a ton of dead code in `AsmWriter.cpp` and `DebugInfo.cpp`
for printing comments.
- Big update to LangRef to describe the nodes in the new hierarchy.
Feel free to make it better.
Testcase changes are enormous. There's an accompanying clang commit on
its way.
If you have out-of-tree debug info testcases, I just broke your build.
- `upgrade-specialized-nodes.sh` is attached to PR22564. I used it to
update all the IR testcases.
- Unfortunately I failed to find way to script the updates to CHECK
lines, so I updated all of these by hand. This was fairly painful,
since the old CHECKs are difficult to reason about. That's one of
the benefits of the new hierarchy.
This work isn't quite finished, BTW. The `DIDescriptor` subclasses are
almost empty wrappers, but not quite: they still have loose casting
checks (see the `RETURN_FROM_RAW()` macro). Once they're completely
gutted, I'll rename the "MD" classes to "DI" and kill the wrappers. I
also expect to make a few schema changes now that it's easier to reason
about everything.

Patch by Evangelos Foutras:
r220899 started using ocamlfind to build the OCaml bindings but
docs/Makefile still contains references to the OCAMLDOC macro which
is no longer being defined. The result is that OCaml documentation
isn't generated/installed.

As mentioned on llvm-dev, this is a new documentation page intended to collect tips for frontend authors on how to generate IR that LLVM is able to optimize well. These types of things come up repeated in review threads and it would be good to have a place to save them.
I added a small handful to start us off, but I mostly want to get the framework in place. Once the docs are here, we can add to them incrementally. If you know of something appropriate for this page, please add it!

It didn't seem worth leaving behind a guideline to use '= delete' to
make a class uncopyable. That's a well known C++ design pattern.

When I originally committed the statepoint docs, I left placeholders for example IR fragments. I'm finally getting around to filling those in.
I also added IR fragments to illustrate the usage of the PlaceSafepoints pass while I was at it.

Add a brief section linking to the experimental statepoint intrinsics analogous to the one we have linking to patchpoint.
While I'm here, cleanup some wording about what the gc "name" attribute actually means. It's not the name of a *collector* it's the name of the *strategy* which may be compatible with multiple collectors.

The builder is based on a layout algorithm that tries to keep members of
small bit sets together. The new layout compresses Chromium's bit sets to
around 15% of their original size.

In this change:
- Put the getting started section first
- Create a dedicated section to document the built in collector strategies
- Move discuss of ShadowStack into new section
- Add placeholders for erlang, ocaml, and statepoint-example collectors
There will be many more changes following. I plan on full integrating the documentation for gc.statepoint and gc.root. I want to make it much clearer on how to get started and what users should expect in terms of effort.

This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.
The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

If the landingpad of the invoke is using a personality function that
catches asynch exceptions, then it can catch a trap.
Also add some landingpads to invalid LLVM IR test cases that lack them.
