Three new instructions:
umonitor - Sets up a linear address range to be
monitored by hardware and activates the monitor.
The address range should be a writeback memory
caching type.
umwait - A hint that allows the processor to
stop instruction execution and enter an
implementation-dependent optimized state
until occurrence of a class of events.
tpause - Directs the processor to enter an
implementation-dependent optimized state
until the TSC reaches the value in EDX:EAX.
Also modifying the description of the mfence

This patch adds a new function attribute "required-vector-width" that can be set by the frontend to indicate the maximum vector width present in the original source code. The idea is that this would be set based on ABI requirements, intrinsics or explicit vector types being used, maybe simd pragmas, etc. The backend will then use this information to determine if its save to make 512-bit vectors illegal when the preference is for 256-bit vectors.
For code that has no vectors in it originally and only get vectors through the loop and slp vectorizers this allows us to generate code largely similar to our AVX2 only output while still enabling AVX512 features like mask registers and gather/scatter. The loop vectorizer doesn't always obey TTI and will create oversized vectors with the expectation the backend will legalize it. In order to avoid changing the vectorizer and potentially harm our AVX2 codegen this patch tries to make the legalizer behavior similar.
This is restricted to CPUs that support AVX512F and AVX512VL so that we have good fallback options to use 128 and 256-bit vectors and still get masking.
I've qualified every place I could find in X86ISelLowering.cpp and added tests cases for many of them with 2 different values for the attribute to see the codegen differences.
We still need to do frontend work for the attribute and teach the inliner how to merge it, etc. But this gets the codegen layer ready for it.

Summary:
First, we need to explain the core of the vulnerability. Note that this
is a very incomplete description, please see the Project Zero blog post
for details:
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html
The basis for branch target injection is to direct speculative execution
of the processor to some "gadget" of executable code by poisoning the
prediction of indirect branches with the address of that gadget. The
gadget in turn contains an operation that provides a side channel for
reading data. Most commonly, this will look like a load of secret data
followed by a branch on the loaded value and then a load of some
predictable cache line. The attacker then uses timing of the processors
cache to determine which direction the branch took *in the speculative
execution*, and in turn what one bit of the loaded value was. Due to the
nature of these timing side channels and the branch predictor on Intel
processors, this allows an attacker to leak data only accessible to
a privileged domain (like the kernel) back into an unprivileged domain.
The goal is simple: avoid generating code which contains an indirect
branch that could have its prediction poisoned by an attacker. In many
cases, the compiler can simply use directed conditional branches and
a small search tree. LLVM already has support for lowering switches in
this way and the first step of this patch is to disable jump-table
lowering of switches and introduce a pass to rewrite explicit indirectbr
sequences into a switch over integers.
However, there is no fully general alternative to indirect calls. We
introduce a new construct we call a "retpoline" to implement indirect
calls in a non-speculatable way. It can be thought of loosely as
a trampoline for indirect calls which uses the RET instruction on x86.
Further, we arrange for a specific call->ret sequence which ensures the
processor predicts the return to go to a controlled, known location. The
retpoline then "smashes" the return address pushed onto the stack by the
call with the desired target of the original indirect call. The result
is a predicted return to the next instruction after a call (which can be
used to trap speculative execution within an infinite loop) and an
actual indirect branch to an arbitrary address.
On 64-bit x86 ABIs, this is especially easily done in the compiler by
using a guaranteed scratch register to pass the target into this device.
For 32-bit ABIs there isn't a guaranteed scratch register and so several
different retpoline variants are introduced to use a scratch register if
one is available in the calling convention and to otherwise use direct
stack push/pop sequences to pass the target address.
This "retpoline" mitigation is fully described in the following blog
post: https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/7625886
We also support a target feature that disables emission of the retpoline
thunk by the compiler to allow for custom thunks if users want them.
These are particularly useful in environments like kernels that
routinely do hot-patching on boot and want to hot-patch their thunk to
different code sequences. They can write this custom thunk and use
`-mretpoline-external-thunk` *in addition* to `-mretpoline`. In this
case, on x86-64 thu thunk names must be:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_r11
```
or on 32-bit:
```
__llvm_external_retpoline_eax
__llvm_external_retpoline_ecx
__llvm_external_retpoline_edx
__llvm_external_retpoline_push
```
And the target of the retpoline is passed in the named register, or in
the case of the `push` suffix on the top of the stack via a `pushl`
instruction.
There is one other important source of indirect branches in x86 ELF
binaries: the PLT. These patches also include support for LLD to
generate PLT entries that perform a retpoline-style indirection.
The only other indirect branches remaining that we are aware of are from
precompiled runtimes (such as crt0.o and similar). The ones we have
found are not really attackable, and so we have not focused on them
here, but eventually these runtimes should also be replicated for
retpoline-ed configurations for completeness.
For kernels or other freestanding or fully static executables, the
compiler switch `-mretpoline` is sufficient to fully mitigate this
particular attack. For dynamic executables, you must compile *all*
libraries with `-mretpoline` and additionally link the dynamic
executable and all shared libraries with LLD and pass `-z retpolineplt`
(or use similar functionality from some other linker). We strongly
recommend also using `-z now` as non-lazy binding allows the
retpoline-mitigated PLT to be substantially smaller.
When manually apply similar transformations to `-mretpoline` to the
Linux kernel we observed very small performance hits to applications
running typical workloads, and relatively minor hits (approximately 2%)
even for extremely syscall-heavy applications. This is largely due to
the small number of indirect branches that occur in performance
sensitive paths of the kernel.
When using these patches on statically linked applications, especially
C++ applications, you should expect to see a much more dramatic
performance hit. For microbenchmarks that are switch, indirect-, or
virtual-call heavy we have seen overheads ranging from 10% to 50%.
However, real-world workloads exhibit substantially lower performance
impact. Notably, techniques such as PGO and ThinLTO dramatically reduce
the impact of hot indirect calls (by speculatively promoting them to
direct calls) and allow optimized search trees to be used to lower
switches. If you need to deploy these techniques in C++ applications, we
*strongly* recommend that you ensure all hot call targets are statically
linked (avoiding PLT indirection) and use both PGO and ThinLTO. Well
tuned servers using all of these techniques saw 5% - 10% overhead from
the use of retpoline.
We will add detailed documentation covering these components in
subsequent patches, but wanted to make the core functionality available
as soon as possible. Happy for more code review, but we'd really like to
get these patches landed and backported ASAP for obvious reasons. We're
planning to backport this to both 6.0 and 5.0 release streams and get
a 5.0 release with just this cherry picked ASAP for distros and vendors.
This patch is the work of a number of people over the past month: Eric, Reid,
Rui, and myself. I'm mailing it out as a single commit due to the time
sensitive nature of landing this and the need to backport it. Huge thanks to
everyone who helped out here, and everyone at Intel who helped out in
discussions about how to craft this. Also, credit goes to Paul Turner (at
Google, but not an LLVM contributor) for much of the underlying retpoline
design.

This will cause the vectorizers to do some limiting of the vector widths they create. This is not a strict limit. There are reasons I know of that the loop vectorizer will generate larger vectors for.
I've written this in such a way that the interface will only return a properly supported width(0/128/256/512) even if the attribute says something funny like 384 or 10.

This adds a new instrinsic to support the rdpid instruction. The implementation is a bit weird because the intrinsic is defined as always returning 32-bits, but the assembler support thinks the instruction produces a 64-bit register in 64-bit mode. But really it zeros the upper 32 bits. So I had to add separate patterns where 64-bit mode uses an extract_subreg.

Summary:
This adds a new fast gather feature bit to cover all CPUs that support fast gather that we can use independent of whether the AVX512 feature is enabled. I'm only using this new bit to qualify AVX2 codegen. AVX512 is still implicitly assuming fast gather to keep tests working and to match the scatter behavior.
Test command lines have been added for these two cases.

We were handling the non-hidden case in lib/Target/TargetMachine.cpp,
but the hidden case was handled in architecture dependent code and
only X86_64 and AArch64 were covered.
While it is true that some code sequences in some ABIs might be able
to produce the correct value at runtime, that doesn't seem to be the
common case.
I left the AArch64 code in place since it also forces a got access for
non-pic code. It is not clear if that is needed, but it is probably
better to change that in another commit.

Currently we determine if macro fusion is supported based on the AVX flag as a proxy for the processor being Sandy Bridge".
This is really strange as now AMD supports AVX. It also means if user explicitly disables AVX we disable macro fusion.
This patch adds an explicit macro fusion feature. I've also enabled for the generic 64-bit CPU (which doesn't have AVX)
This is probably another candidate for being in the MI layer, but for now I at least wanted to correct the overloading of the AVX feature.

I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or

over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).
