Summary:
@mclow.lists brought up this issue up in IRC.
It is a reasonably common problem to compare some two values for equality.
Those may be just some integers, strings or arrays of integers.
In C, there is `memcmp()`, `bcmp()` functions.
In C++, there exists `std::equal()` algorithm.
One can also write that function manually.
libstdc++'s `std::equal()` is specialized to directly call `memcmp()` for
various types, but not `std::byte` from C++2a. https://godbolt.org/z/mx2ejJ
libc++ does not do anything like that, it simply relies on simple C++'s
`operator==()`. https://godbolt.org/z/er0Zwf (GOOD!)
So likely, there exists a certain performance opportunities.
Let's compare performance of naive `std::equal()` (no `memcmp()`) with one that
is using `memcmp()` (in this case, compiled with modified compiler). {F8768213}

What can we tell from the benchmark?
* Performance of naive equality check somewhat improves with element size,
maxing out at eltcnt/sec=1.58603G/s for uint16_t, or bytes_read/sec=19.0209G/s
for uint64_t. I think, that instability implies performance problems.
* Performance of `memcmp()`-aware benchmark always maxes out at around
bytes_read/sec=51.2991G/s for every type. That is 2.6x the throughput of the
naive variant!
* eltcnt/sec metric for the `memcmp()`-aware benchmark maxes out at
eltcnt/sec=27.541G/s for uint8_t (was: eltcnt/sec=1.18491G/s, so 24x) and
linearly decreases with element size.
For uint64_t, it's ~4x+ the elements/second.
* The call obvious is more pricey than the loop, with small element count.
As it can be seen from the full output {F8768210}, the `memcmp()` is almost
universally worse, independent of the element size (and thus buffer size) when
element count is less than 8.
So all in all, bcmp idiom does indeed pose untapped performance headroom.
This diff does implement said idiom recognition. I think a reasonable test
coverage is present, but do tell if there is anything obvious missing.
Now, quality. This does succeed to build and pass the test-suite, at least
without any non-bundled elements. {F8768216} {F8768217}

I don't have timings though.
And now to the code. The basic idea is to completely replace the whole loop.
If we can't fully kill it, don't transform.
I have left one or two comments in the code, so hopefully it can be understood.
Also, there is a few TODO's that i have left for follow-ups:
* widening of `memcmp()`/`bcmp()`
* step smaller than the comparison size
* Metadata propagation
* more than two blocks as long as there is still a single backedge?
* ???

This implements constrained floating point intrinsics for FP to signed and
unsigned integers.
Quoting from D32319:
The purpose of the constrained intrinsics is to force the optimizer to
respect the restrictions that will be necessary to support things like the
STDC FENV_ACCESS ON pragma without interfering with optimizations when
these restrictions are not needed.

Summary:
Linking between markdown and rst files is currently not supported very well, e.g. the current llvm-addr2line docs [1] link to "llvm-symbolizer" instead of "llvm-symbolizer.html". This is weirdly broken in different ways depending on which versions of sphinx and recommonmark are being used, so workaround the bug by using rst everywhere.

Now that we've moved to C++14, we no longer need the llvm::make_unique

This patch adds a ptrmask intrinsic which allows masking out bits of a
pointer that must be zero when accessing it, because of ABI alignment
requirements or a restriction of the meaningful bits of a pointer
through the data layout.
This avoids doing a ptrtoint/inttoptr round trip in some cases (e.g. tagged
pointers) and allows us to not lose information about the underlying
object.

onto systems that don't have a copy of stdlibc++ or libc++ installed.
This functionality should work with either GCC or Clang as the host
compiler, though statically linking libc++ (as may be required for
licensing purposes) is only possible if the host compiler is Clang with
a copy of libc++ available.

Summary:
Back in January I changed the minimum toolchain version required to build clang
and LLVM: D57264. Since then we've release LLVM 8, following
[our process](http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#toolchain)
it's therefore now a good time to remove the soft-error and officially deprecate
older toolchains. I tried this out last Tursday night to see if any bots
complained, and I saw no complaints. I also manually audited bots and didn't see
any bot that should break, but their toolchain information is unreliable and
some bots are offline.
Once this patch stick we'll move to C++14 as we've
[already agreed](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-January/129452.html).

A quick contrast of this ABI with the currently-implemented ABI:
- Allocation is implicitly managed by the lowering passes, which is fine
for frontends that are fine with assuming that allocation cannot fail.
This assumption is necessary to implement dynamic allocas anyway.
- The lowering attempts to fit the coroutine frame into an opaque,
statically-sized buffer before falling back on allocation; the same
buffer must be provided to every resume point. A buffer must be at
least pointer-sized.
- The resume and destroy functions have been combined; the continuation
function takes a parameter indicating whether it has succeeded.
- Conversely, every suspend point begins its own continuation function.
- The continuation function pointer is directly returned to the caller
instead of being stored in the frame. The continuation can therefore
directly destroy the frame when exiting the coroutine instead of having
to leave it in a defunct state.
- Other values can be returned directly to the caller instead of going
through a promise allocation. The frontend provides a "prototype"
function declaration from which the type, calling convention, and
attributes of the continuation functions are taken.
- On the caller side, the frontend can generate natural IR that directly
uses the continuation functions as long as it prevents IPO with the
coroutine until lowering has happened. In combination with the point
above, the frontend is almost totally in charge of the ABI of the
coroutine.
- Unique-yield coroutines are given some special treatment.

Flag -show-encoding enables the printing of instruction encodings as part of the
the instruction info view.
Example (with flags -mtriple=x86_64-- -mcpu=btver2):
Instruction Info:
[1]: #uOps
[2]: Latency
[3]: RThroughput
[4]: MayLoad
[5]: MayStore
[6]: HasSideEffects (U)
[7]: Encoding Size
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Encodings: Instructions:
1 2 1.00 4 c5 f0 59 d0 vmulps %xmm0, %xmm1, %xmm2
1 4 1.00 4 c5 eb 7c da vhaddps %xmm2, %xmm2, %xmm3
1 4 1.00 4 c5 e3 7c e3 vhaddps %xmm3, %xmm3, %xmm4
In this example, column Encoding Size is the size in bytes of the instruction
encoding. Column Encodings reports the actual instruction encodings as byte
sequences in hex (objdump style).
The computation of encodings is done by a utility class named mca::CodeEmitter.
In future, I plan to expose the CodeEmitter to the instruction builder, so that
information about instruction encoding sizes can be used by the simulator. That
would be a first step towards simulating the throughput from the decoders in the
hardware frontend.

For some targets the LICM pass can result in sub-optimal code in some
cases where it would be better not to run the pass, but it isn't
always possible to suppress the transformations heuristically.
Where the front-end has insight into such cases it is beneficial
to attach loop metadata to disable the pass - this change adds the
llvm.licm.disable metadata to enable that.

A function is "no-return" if we never reach a return instruction, either
because there are none or the ones that exist are dead.
Test have been adjusted:
- either noreturn was added, or
- noreturn was avoided by modifying the code.
The new noreturn_{sync,async} test make sure we do handle invoke
instructions with a noreturn (and potentially nowunwind) callee
correctly, even in the presence of potential asynchronous exceptions.

This has come up twice already (once in pr42763 and once in the commit thread), so give warning of a new way in which UB can result in unexpected program behavior.

For consistency with normal instructions and clarity when reading IR,
it's best to print the %0, %1, ... names of function arguments in
definitions.
Also modifies the parser to accept IR in that form for obvious reasons.

Previously, debuginfo types are annotated to
IR builtin preserve_struct_access_index() and
preserve_union_access_index(), but not
preserve_array_access_index(). The debug info
is useful to identify the root type name which
later will be used for type comparison.
For user access without explicit type conversions,
the previous scheme works as we can ignore intermediate
compiler generated type conversions (e.g., from union types to
union members) and still generate correct access index string.
The issue comes with user explicit type conversions, e.g.,
converting an array to a structure like below:
struct t { int a; char b[40]; };
struct p { int c; int d; };
struct t *var = ...;
... __builtin_preserve_access_index(&(((struct p *)&(var->b[0]))->d)) ...
Although BPF backend can derive the type of &(var->b[0]),
explicit type annotation make checking more consistent
and less error prone.
Another benefit is for multiple dimension array handling.
For example,
struct p { int c; int d; } g[8][9][10];
... __builtin_preserve_access_index(&g[2][3][4].d) ...
It would be possible to calculate the number of "struct p"'s
before accessing its member "d" if array debug info is
available as it contains each dimension range.
This patch enables to annotate IR builtin preserve_array_access_index()
with proper debuginfo type. The unit test case and language reference
is updated as well.

ThreadSafeModule/ThreadSafeContext are used to manage lifetimes and locking
for LLVMContexts in ORCv2. Prior to this patch contexts were locked as soon
as an associated Module was emitted (to be compiled and linked), and were not
unlocked until the emit call returned. This could lead to deadlocks if
interdependent modules that shared contexts were compiled on different threads:
when, during emission of the first module, the dependence was discovered the
second module (which would provide the required symbol) could not be emitted as
the thread emitting the first module still held the lock.
This patch eliminates this possibility by moving to a finer-grained locking
scheme. Each client holds the module lock only while they are actively operating
on it. To make this finer grained locking simpler/safer to implement this patch
removes the explicit lock method, 'getContextLock', from ThreadSafeModule and
replaces it with a new method, 'withModuleDo', that implicitly locks the context,
calls a user-supplied function object to operate on the Module, then implicitly
unlocks the context before returning the result.
ThreadSafeModule TSM = getModule(...);
size_t NumFunctions = TSM.withModuleDo(
[](Module &M) { // <- context locked before entry to lambda.
return M.size();
});
Existing ORCv2 layers that operate on ThreadSafeModules are updated to use the
new method.
This method is used to introduce Module locking into each of the existing
layers.

This patch adds a new llvm-mca flag named -print-imm-hex.
By default, the instruction printer prints immediate operands as decimals. Flag
-print-imm-hex enables the instruction printer to print those operands in hex.
This patch also adds support for MASM binary and hex literal numbers (example
0FFh, 101b).
Added tests to verify the behavior of the new flag. Tests also verify that masm
numeric literal operands are now recognized.
