The use of the vec_lvsl and vec_lvsr interfaces are discouraged for
little endian targets since Power8 hardware is a minimum requirement,
and Power8 provides reasonable performance for unaligned vector loads
and stores. Up till now we have not provided "correct" (i.e., big-
endian-compatible) code generation for these interfaces, as to do so
produces poorly performing code. However, this has become the source
of too many questions.
With this patch, LLVM will now produce compatible code for these
interfaces, but will also produce a deprecation warning message for
PPC64LE when one of them is used. This should make the porting direction
clearer to programmers. A similar patch has recently been committed to
GCC.
This patch includes a test for the warning message. There is a companion
patch that adds two unit tests to projects/test-suite.

This reverts r218944, which reverted r218714, plus a bug fix.
Description of the bug in r218714 (by Nick)
The original patch forgot to check if the Scale in VariableGEPIndex flipped the
sign of the variable. The BasicAA pass iterates over the instructions in the
order they appear in the function, and so BasicAliasAnalysis::aliasGEP is
called with the variable it first comes across as parameter GEP1. Adding a
%reorder label puts the definition of %a after %b so aliasGEP is called with %b
as the first parameter and %a as the second. aliasGEP later calculates that %a
== %b + 1 - %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0 (if %a was passed as the first
parameter it would calculate %b == %a - 1 + %idxprom where %idxprom >= 0) -
ignoring that %idxprom is scaled by -1 here lead the patch to incorrectly
conclude that %a > %b.
Revised patch by Nick White, thanks! Thanks to Lang to isolating the bug.
Slightly modified by me to add an early exit from the loop and avoid
unnecessary, but expensive, function calls.
Original commit message:
Two related things:
1. Fixes a bug when calculating the offset in GetLinearExpression. The code
previously used zext to extend the offset, so negative offsets were converted
to large positive ones.
2. Enhance aliasGEP to deduce that, if the difference between two GEP
allocations is positive and all the variables that govern the offset are also
positive (i.e. the offset is strictly after the higher base pointer), then
locations that fit in the gap between the two base pointers are NoAlias.

We used to return PartialAlias if *either* variable being queried interacted
with arguments or globals. AFAICT, we can change this to only returning
MayAlias iff *both* variables being queried interacted with arguments or
globals.
Also, adding some basic functionality tests: some basic IPA tests, checking
that we give conservative responses with arguments/globals thrown in the mix,
and ensuring that we trace values through stores and loads.
Note that saying that 'x' interacted with arguments or globals means that the
Attributes of the StratifiedSet that 'x' belongs to has any bits set.
Patch by George Burgess IV, thanks!

Summary:
DynTypedMatcher::constructVariadic() where the restrict kind of the
different matchers are not related causes the matcher to have a "None"
restrict kind. This causes false negatives for anyOf and eachOf.
Change the logic to get a common ancestor if there is one.
Also added regression tests that fail without the fix.

It was just calling a bunch of DwarfUnit functions anyway, as can be
seen by the simplification of removing "TheCU" from all the function
calls in the implementation.

By leaving these members out of the member list, we avoid them being
emitted into type unit definitions - while still allowing the
definition/declaration to be injected into the compile unit as expected.

pass registry.
This style of registry is somewhat questionable, but it being
non-monotonic is crazy. No one is (or should be) unloading DSOs with
passes and unregistering them here. I've checked with a few folks and
I don't know of anyone using this functionality or any important use
case where it is necessary.

Previously, we would not check the target machine type and the module (object)
machine type. Add a check to ensure that we do not attempt to use an object
file with a different target architecture.
This change identified a couple of tests which were incorrectly mixing up
architecture types, using x86 input for a x64 target. Adjust the tests
appropriately. The renaming of the input and the architectures covers the
changes to the existing tests.
One significant change to the existing tests is that the newly added test input
for x64 uses the correct user label prefix for X64.

This trades a (register-renamer-friendly) movaps for a floating point
/ integer domain cross. That is a very bad trade, even on architectures
where domain crossing is relatively fast. On any chip where there is
even a cycle stall, this is a Very Bad Idea. It doesn't even seem likely
to cause a spill to be introduced because the reason for the copy is to
destructively shuffle in place.
Thanks to Ben Kramer for fixing a bug in this code that my new shuffle
lowering exposed and highlighting that perhaps it should just go away.

Rather than a series of cascading ifs, use a switch statement to convert the
error code to a string. This has the benefit of allowing the compiler to inform
us if we ever add a new error code but fail to update the string representation.
Add in stringified versions for a couple of missing InputGraphErrors.

In order to support more than x86/x86_64, we need to change the behaviour to use
the actual machine type rather than checking the bitness and assuming that we
are on X86. This replaces the use of is64bit in applyAllRelocations with a
check on the machine type. This will enable adding support for handling ARM
relocations.
Rename the existing applyRelocation methods to be similarly named and to make it
clear the types of relocations they will process.

that are unused.
This allows the combiner to delete math feeding shuffles where the math
isn't actually necessary. This improves some of the vperm2x128 tests
that regressed when the vector shuffle lowering started actually
generating vperm instructions rather than forcibly decomposing them.
Sadly, this isn't enough to get this *really* right because we still
form a completely unnecessary permutation. To fix that, we also need to
fold shuffles which just rearrange concatenated or inserted subvectors.
