Minimum density for both optsize and non optsize are now options
-sparse-jump-table-density (default 10) for non optsize functions
-dense-jump-table-density (default 40) for optsize functions, which
matches the current default. This improves several benchmarks at google
at the cost of a small codesize increase. For code compiled with -Os,
the old behavior continues

Currently, when edge weights are assigned to edges that are created when lowering switch statement, the weight on the edge to default statement (let's call it "default weight" here) is not considered. We need to distribute this weight properly. However, without value profiling, we have no idea how to distribute it. In this patch, I applied the heuristic that this weight is evenly distributed to successors.
For example, given a switch statement with cases 1,2,3,5,10,11,20, and every edge from switch to each successor has weight 10. If there is a binary search tree built to test if n < 10, then its two out-edges will have weight 4x10+10/2 = 45 and 3x10 + 10/2 = 35 respectively (currently they are 40 and 30 without considering the default weight). Each distribution (which is 5 here) will be stored in each SwitchWorkListItem for further distribution.
There are some exceptions:
For a jump table header which doesn't have any edge to default statement, we don't distribute the default weight to it.
For a bit test header which covers a contiguous range and hence has no edges to default statement, we don't distribute the default weight to it.
When the branch checks a single value or a contiguous range with no edge to default statement, we don't distribute the default weight to it.
In other cases, the default weight is evenly distributed to successors.

Third time's the charm. The previous commit was reverted as a
reverse for-loop in SelectionDAGBuilder::lowerWorkItem did 'I--'
on an iterator at the beginning of a vector, causing asserts
when using debugging iterators. This commit fixes that.

This is a re-commit of r235101, which also fixes the problems with the previous patch:
- Switches with only a default case and non-fallthrough were handled incorrectly
- The previous patch tickled a bug in PowerPC Early-Return Creation which is fixed here.

This is a major rewrite of the SelectionDAG switch lowering. The previous code
would lower switches as a binary tre, discovering clusters of cases
suitable for lowering by jump tables or bit tests as it went along. To increase
the likelihood of finding jump tables, the binary tree pivot was selected to
maximize case density on both sides of the pivot.
By not selecting the pivot in the middle, the binary trees would not always
be balanced, leading to performance problems in the generated code.
This patch rewrites the lowering to search for clusters of cases
suitable for jump tables or bit tests first, and then builds the binary
tree around those clusters. This way, the binary tree will always be balanced.
This has the added benefit of decoupling the different aspects of the lowering:
tree building and jump table or bit tests finding are now easier to tweak
separately.
For example, this will enable us to balance the tree based on profile info
in the future.
The algorithm for finding jump tables is O(n^2), whereas the previous algorithm
was O(n log n) for common cases, and quadratic only in the worst-case. This
doesn't seem to be major problem in practice, e.g. compiling a file consisting
of a 10k-case switch was only 30% slower, and such large switches should be rare
in practice. Compiling e.g. gcc.c showed no compile-time difference. If this
does turn out to be a problem, we could limit the search space of the algorithm.
This commit also disables all optimizations during switch lowering in -O0.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

This addresses part of llvm.org/PR22262. Specifically, it prevents
considering the densities of sub-ranges that have fewer than
TLI.getMinimumJumpTableEntries() elements. Those densities won't help
jump tables.
This is not a complete solution but works around the most pressing
issue.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.
