Enable multiple COPY hints to eliminate more COPYs during register allocation.
Note that this is something all targets should do, see

This patch adds new insn, "reg = be16/be32/be64 reg",
for bswap to little endian for big-endian target (bpfeb).
It also adds new insn for negation "reg = -reg".
Currently, for source code, e.g.,
b = -a
LLVM still prefers to generate:
b = 0 - a
But "reg = -reg" format can be used in assembly code.

This partially revert previous fix in commit f5858045aa0b
("bpf: proper print imm64 expression in inst printer").
In that commit, the original suffix "ll" is removed from
LD_IMM64 asmstring. In the customer print method, the "ll"
suffix is printed if the rhs is an immediate. For example,
"r2 = 5ll" => "r2 = 5ll", and "r3 = varll" => "r3 = var".
This has an issue though for assembler. Since assembler
relies on asmstring to do pattern matching, it will not
be able to distiguish between "mov r2, 5" and
"ld_imm64 r2, 5" since both asmstring is "r2 = 5".
In such cases, the assembler uses 64bit load for all
"r = <val>" asm insts.
This patch adds back " ll" suffix for ld_imm64 with one
additional space for "#reg = #global_var" case.

Emit error when BPF backend sees a call to a global function or to an external symbol.
The kernel verifier only allows calls to predefined helpers from bpf.h
which are defined in 'enum bpf_func_id'. Such calls in assembler must
look like 'call [1-9]+' where number matches bpf_func_id.

since bpf instruction set was introduced people learned to
read and understand kernel verifier output whereas llvm asm
output stayed obscure and unknown. Convert llvm to emit
assembler text similar to kernel to avoid this discrepancy

Summary:
-march=bpf -> host endian
-march=bpf_le -> little endian
-match=bpf_be -> big endian
Test Plan:
v1 was tested by IBM s390 guys and appears to be working there.
It bit rots too fast here.

Expose bpf pseudo load instruction via intrinsic. It is used by front-ends that
can encode file descriptors directly into IR instead of relying on relocations.
llvm-svn: 233396
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))

V1 cover letter:
---------------------
recently linux gained "universal in-kernel virtual machine" which is called
eBPF or extended BPF. The name comes from "Berkeley Packet Filter", since
new instruction set is based on it.
This patch adds a new backend that emits extended BPF instruction set.
The concept and development are covered by the following articles:
http://lwn.net/Articles/599755/http://lwn.net/Articles/575531/http://lwn.net/Articles/603983/http://lwn.net/Articles/606089/http://lwn.net/Articles/612878/
One of use cases: dtrace/systemtap alternative.

instruction set description and differences vs classic BPF:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/networking/filter.txt
Short summary of instruction set:
- 64-bit registers
R0 - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for BPF program
R1 - R5 - arguments from BPF program to in-kernel function
R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve
R10 - read-only frame pointer to access stack
- two-operand instructions like +, -, *, mov, load/store
- implicit prologue/epilogue (invisible stack pointer)
- no floating point, no simd
Short history of extended BPF in kernel:
interpreter in 3.15, x64 JIT in 3.16, arm64 JIT, verifier, bpf syscall in 3.18, more to come in the future.
It's a very small and simple backend.
There is no support for global variables, arbitrary function calls, floating point, varargs,
exceptions, indirect jumps, arbitrary pointer arithmetic, alloca, etc.
From C front-end point of view it's very restricted. It's done on purpose, since kernel
rejects all programs that it cannot prove safe. It rejects programs with loops
and with memory accesses via arbitrary pointers. When kernel accepts the program it is
guaranteed that program will terminate and will not crash the kernel.
This patch implements all 'must have' bits. There are several things on TODO list,
so this is not the end of development.
Most of the code is a boiler plate code, copy-pasted from other backends.
Only odd things are lack or < and <= instructions, specialized load_byte intrinsics
and 'compare and goto' as single instruction.
Current instruction set is fixed, but more instructions can be added in the future.
