an incoming value from a block, the selector would evaluate the constant
at the TOP of the block instead of at the end of the block. This made the
live range for the constant span the entire block, increasing register
pressure needlessly.

folding load instructions into other instructions across free instruction
boundaries. Perhaps this will also fix the other strange failures?

testcase like this:
int %test(int* %P, int %A) {
%Pv = load int* %P
%B = add int %A, %Pv
ret int %B
}
We now generate:
test:
mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
add %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ECX]
ret
Instead of:
test:
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%EAX]
add %EAX, %ECX
ret
... saving one instruction, and often a register. Note that there are a lot
of other instructions that could use this, but they aren't handled. I'm not
really interested in adding them, but mul/div and all of the FP instructions
could be supported as well if someone wanted to add them.

(16) into certain areas of the SPARC V9 back-end. I'm fairly sure the US IIIi's
dcache has 32-byte lines, so I'm not sure where the 16 came from. However, in
the interest of not breaking things any more than they already are, I'm going
to leave the constant alone.

of generating this code:
mov %EAX, 4
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], %EAX
mov %AX, 123
movsx %EAX, %AX
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], %EAX
call Y
we now generate:
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], 4
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], 123
call Y
Which hurts the eyes less. :)
Considering that register pressure around call sites is already high (with all
of the callee clobber registers n stuff), this may help a lot.

1) For 8-bit registers try to use first the ones that are parts of the
same register (AL then AH). This way we only alias 2 16/32-bit
registers after allocating 4 8-bit variables.
2) Move EBX as the last register to allocate. This will cause less
spills to happen since we will have 8-bit registers available up to
register excaustion (assuming we use the allocation order). It
would be nice if we could push all of the 8-bit aliased registers
towards the end but we much prefer to keep callee saved register to
the end to avoid saving them on entry and exit of the function.
For example this gives a slight reduction of spills with linear scan
on 164.gzip.

their names more decriptive. A name consists of the base name, a
default operand size followed by a character per operand with an
optional special size. For example:
ADD8rr -> add, 8-bit register, 8-bit register
IMUL16rmi -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 16-bit immediate
IMUL16rmi8 -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 8-bit immediate
MOVSX32rm16 -> movsx, 32-bit register, 16-bit memory
llvm-svn: 11995
parse. The name is now I (operand size)*. For example:
Im32 -> instruction with 32-bit memory operands.
Im16i8 -> instruction with 16-bit memory operands and 8 bit immediate
operands.

the size of the immediate and the memory operand on instructions that
use them. This resolves problems with instructions that take both a
memory and an immediate operand but their sizes differ (i.e. ADDmi32b).

an 8-bit immediate. So mark the shifts that take immediates as taking
an 8-bit argument. The rest with the implicit use of CL are marked
appropriately.
A bug still exists:
def SHLDmri32 : I2A8 <"shld", 0xA4, MRMDestMem>, TB; // [mem32] <<= [mem32],R32 imm8
The immediate in the above instruction is 8-bit but the memory
reference is 32-bit. The printer prints this as an 8-bit reference
which confuses the assembler. Same with SHRDmri32.
