This branch adds hints for highly biased branches on the PPC architecture. Even
in absence of profiling information, LLVM will mark code reaching unreachable
terminators and other exceptional control flow constructs as highly unlikely to
be reached.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

This change enables tracking i1 values in the PowerPC backend using the
condition register bits. These bits can be treated on PowerPC as separate
registers; individual bit operations (and, or, xor, etc.) are supported.
Tracking booleans in CR bits has several advantages:
- Reduction in register pressure (because we no longer need GPRs to store
boolean values).
- Logical operations on booleans can be handled more efficiently; we used to
have to move all results from comparisons into GPRs, perform promoted
logical operations in GPRs, and then move the result back into condition
register bits to be used by conditional branches. This can be very
inefficient, because the throughput of these CR <-> GPR moves have high
latency and low throughput (especially when other associated instructions
are accounted for).
- On the POWER7 and similar cores, we can increase total throughput by using
the CR bits. CR bit operations have a dedicated functional unit.
Most of this is more-or-less mechanical: Adjustments were needed in the
calling-convention code, support was added for spilling/restoring individual
condition-register bits, and conditional branch instruction definitions taking
specific CR bits were added (plus patterns and code for generating bit-level
operations).
This is enabled by default when running at -O2 and higher. For -O0 and -O1,
where the ability to debug is more important, this feature is disabled by
default. Individual CR bits do not have assigned DWARF register numbers,
and storing values in CR bits makes them invisible to the debugger.
It is critical, however, that we don't move i1 values that have been promoted
to larger values (such as those passed as function arguments) into bit
registers only to quickly turn around and move the values back into GPRs (such
as happens when values are returned by functions). A pair of target-specific
DAG combines are added to remove the trunc/extends in:
trunc(binary-ops(binary-ops(zext(x), zext(y)), ...)
and:
zext(binary-ops(binary-ops(trunc(x), trunc(y)), ...)
In short, we only want to use CR bits where some of the i1 values come from
comparisons or are used by conditional branches or selects. To put it another
way, if we can do the entire i1 computation in GPRs, then we probably should
(on the POWER7, the GPR-operation throughput is higher, and for all cores, the
CR <-> GPR moves are expensive).

This adds support for the predicted forms of branches (+/-).
There are three cases to consider:
- Branches using a PPC::Predicate code
For these, I've added new PPC::Predicate codes corresponding
to the BO values for predicted branch forms, and updated insn
printing to print them correctly. I've also added new aliases
for the asm parser matching the new forms.
- bt/bf
I've added new aliases matching to gBC etc.
- bd(n)z variants
I've added new instruction patterns for the predicted forms.
In all cases, the new patterns are used for the asm parser only.
(The new infrastructure ought to be sufficient to allow use by
the compiler too at some point.)

I'm taking David Blaikie's suggestion to use an
Optional<PPC::Predicate> return value instead. That's the right
solution for this problem. Thanks for pointing out that possibility!

Allows returning a PPC::Predicate from a function with a no-predicate
value possible. Preparatory patch for fast-isel on PPC64 ELF. No
behavioral change intended.
llvm-svn: 183841
The getSwappedPredicate function can be used in other places (such as in
improvements to the PPCCTRLoops pass). Instead of trapping it as a static
function in PPCInstrInfo, move it into PPCPredicates with other
predicate-related things.
No functionality change intended.

The BLR pattern cannot be recognized by the asm parser in its current form.
This complexity is due to an apparent attempt to enable conditional BLR
variants. However, none of those can ever be generated by current code;
the pattern is only ever created using the default "pred" operand.
To simplify the pattern and allow it to be recognized by the parser,
this commit removes those attempts at conditional BLR support.
When we later come back to actually add real conditional BLR, this
should probably be done via a fully generic conditional branch pattern.
No change in generated code.
