Even before I sunk the debug flag into the opt tool this had been made
obsolete by factoring the pass and analysis managers into a single set
of templates that all used the core flag. No functionality changed here.

the generic functionality of the pass managers themselves.
In the new infrastructure, the pass "manager" isn't actually interesting
at all. It just pipelines a single chunk of IR through N passes. We
don't need to know anything about the IR or the passes to do this really
and we can replace the 3 implementations of the exact same functionality
with a single generic PassManager template, complementing the single
generic AnalysisManager template.
I've left typedefs in place to give convenient names to the various
obvious instantiations of the template.
With this, I think I've nuked almost all of the redundant logic in the
managers, and I think the overall design is actually simpler for having
single templates that clearly indicate there is no special logic here.
The logging is made somewhat more annoying by this change, but I don't
think the difference is worth having heavy-weight traits to help log
things.

remove an extra, redundant pass manager wrapping every run.
I had kept seeing these when manually testing, but it was getting really
annoying and was going to cause problems with overly eager invalidation.
The root cause was an overly complex and unnecessary pile of code for
parsing the outer layer of the pass pipeline. We can instead delegate
most of this to the recursive pipeline parsing.
I've added some somewhat more basic and precise tests to catch this.

LazyCallGraph analysis framework. Wire it up all the way through the opt
driver and add some very basic testing that we can build pass pipelines
including these components. Still a lot more to do in terms of testing
that all of this works, but the basic pieces are here.
There is a *lot* of boiler plate here. It's something I'm going to
actively look at reducing, but I don't have any immediate ideas that
don't end up making the code terribly complex in order to fold away the
boilerplate. Until I figure out something to minimize the boilerplate,
almost all of this is based on the code for the existing pass managers,
copied and heavily adjusted to suit the needs of the CGSCC pass
management layer.
The actual CG management still has a bunch of FIXMEs in it. Notably, we
don't do *any* updating of the CG as it is potentially invalidated.
I wanted to get this in place to motivate the new analysis, and add
update APIs to the analysis and the pass management layers in concert to
make sure that the *right* APIs are present.

nests to the opt commandline support. This also showcases the
implicit-initial-manager support which will be most useful for testing.
There are several bugs that I spotted by inspection here that I'll fix
with test cases in subsequent commits.

manager. I cannot emphasize enough that this is a WIP. =] I expect it
to change a great deal as things stabilize, but I think its really
important to get *some* functionality here so that the infrastructure
can be tested more traditionally from the commandline.
The current design is looking something like this:
./bin/opt -passes='module(pass_a,pass_b,function(pass_c,pass_d))'
So rather than custom-parsed flags, there is a single flag with a string
argument that is parsed into the pass pipeline structure. This makes it
really easy to have nice structural properties that are very explicit.
There is one obvious and important shortcut. You can start off the
pipeline with a pass, and the minimal context of pass managers will be
built around the entire specified pipeline. This makes the common case
for tests super easy:
./bin/opt -passes=instcombine,sroa,gvn
But this won't introduce any of the complexity of the fully inferred old
system -- we only ever do this for the *entire* argument, and we only
look at the first pass. If the other passes don't fit in the pass
manager selected it is a hard error.
The other interesting aspect here is that I'm not relying on any
registration facilities. Such facilities may be unavoidable for
supporting plugins, but I have alternative ideas for plugins that I'd
like to try first. My plan is essentially to build everything without
registration until we hit an absolute requirement.
Instead of registration of pass names, there will be a library dedicated
to parsing pass names and the pass pipeline strings described above.
Currently, this is directly embedded into opt for simplicity as it is
very early, but I plan to eventually pull this into a library that opt,
bugpoint, and even Clang can depend on. It should end up as a good home
for things like the existing PassManagerBuilder as well.
There are a bunch of FIXMEs in the code for the parts of this that are
just stubbed out to make the patch more incremental. A quick list of
what's coming up directly after this:
- Support for function passes and building the structured nesting.
- Support for printing the pass structure, and FileCheck tests of all of
this code.
- The .def-file based pass name parsing.
- IR priting passes and the corresponding tests.
Some obvious things that I'm not going to do right now, but am
definitely planning on as the pass manager work gets a bit further:
- Pull the parsing into library, including the builders.
- Thread the rest of the target stuff into the new pass manager.
- Wire support for the new pass manager up to llc.
- Plugin support.
Some things that I'd like to have, but are significantly lower on my
priority list. I'll get to these eventually, but they may also be places
where others want to contribute:
- Adding nice error reporting for broken pass pipeline descriptions.
- Typo-correction for pass names.
