Loading 2 2x32-bit float vectors into the bottom half of a 256-bit vector
produced suboptimal code in AVX2 mode with certain IR combinations.
In particular, the IR optimizer folded 2f32 + 2f32 -> 4f32, 4f32 + 4f32
(undef) -> 8f32 into a 2f32 + 2f32 -> 8f32, which seems more canonical,
but then mysteriously generated rather bad code; the movq/movhpd combination
didn't match.
The problem lay in the BUILD_VECTOR optimization path. The 2f32 inputs
would get promoted to 4f32 by the type legalizer, eventually resulting
in a BUILD_VECTOR on two 4f32 into an 8f32. The BUILD_VECTOR then, recognizing
these were both half the output size, concatted them and then produced
a shuffle. However, the resulting concat + shuffle was more complex than
it should be; in the case where the upper half of the output is undef, we
probably want to generate shuffle + concat instead.
This enhancement causes the vector_shuffle combine step to recognize this
suboptimal pattern and correct it. I included it there instead of in BUILD_VECTOR
in case the same suboptimal pattern occurs for other reasons.
This results in the optimizer correctly producing the optimal movq + movhpd
sequence for all three variations on this IR, even with AVX2.
I've included a test case.

Note: This change ended up being slightly more controversial than expected. Chandler has tentatively okayed this for the moment, but I may be revisiting this in the near future after we settle some high level questions.
Rather than have the GCStrategy object owned by the GCModuleInfo - which is an immutable analysis pass used mainly by gc.root - have it be owned by the LLVMContext. This simplifies the ownership logic (i.e. can you have two instances of the same strategy at once?), but more importantly, allows us to access the GCStrategy in the middle end optimizer. To this end, I add an accessor through Function which becomes the canonical way to get at a GCStrategy instance.
In the near future, this will allows me to move some of the checks from http://reviews.llvm.org/D6808 into the Verifier itself, and to introduce optimization legality predicates for some of the recent additions to InstCombine. (These will follow as separate changes.)

Searching all of the existing gc.root implementations I'm aware of (all three of them), there was exactly one use of this mechanism, and that was to implement a performance improvement that should have been applied to the default lowering.
Having this function is requiring a dependency on a CodeGen class (MachineFunction), in a class which is otherwise completely independent of CodeGen. I could solve this differently, but given that I see absolutely no value in preserving this mechanism, I going to just get rid of it.
Note: Tis is the first time I'm intentionally breaking previously supported gc.root functionality. Given 3.6 has branched, I believe this is a good time to do this.

Reapply r226071 with fixes. Two fixes:
1. We need to manually remove the old and create the new 'deaf defs'
associated with physical register definitions when we move the definition of
the physical register from the copy point to the point of the original vreg def.
This problem was picked up by the machinstr verifier, and could trigger a
verification failure on test/CodeGen/X86/2009-02-12-DebugInfoVLA.ll, so I've
turned on the verifier in the tests.
2. When moving the def point of the phys reg up, we need to make sure that it
is neither defined nor read in between the two instructions. We don't, however,
extend the live ranges of phys reg defs to cover uses, so just checking for
live-range overlap between the pair interval and the phys reg aliases won't
pick up reads. As a result, we manually iterate over the range and check for
reads.
A test soon to be committed to the PowerPC backend will test this change.
Original commit message:
[RegisterCoalescer] Remove copies to reserved registers
This allows the RegisterCoalescer to join "non-flipped" range pairs with a
physical destination register -- which allows the RegisterCoalescer to remove
copies like this:
<vreg> = something (maybe a load, for example)
... (things that don't use PHYSREG)
PHYSREG = COPY <vreg>
(with all of the restrictions normally applied by the RegisterCoalescer: having
compatible register classes, etc. )
Previously, the RegisterCoalescer handled only the opposite case (copying
*from* a physical register). I don't handle the problem fully here, but try to
get the common case where there is only one use of <vreg> (the COPY).
An upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend will make this pattern much more
common on PPC64/ELF systems.

The pass is really just a means of accessing a cached instance of the
TargetLibraryInfo object, and this way we can re-use that object for the
new pass manager as its result.
Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the

Summary:
Some pseudo instruction expansions break down a wide register use into
multiple uses of smaller sub registers. If the super register was
partially undefined the broken down sub registers may be completely
undefined now leading to MachineVerifier complaints. Unfortunately
liveness information to add the required dead flags is not easily
(cheaply) available when expanding pseudo instructions.
This commit changes the verifier to be quiet if there is an additional
implicit use of a super register. Pseudo instruction expanders can use
this to mark cases where partially defined values get potentially broken
into completely undefined ones.

Some benchmarks have shown that this could lead to a potential
performance benefit, and so adding some flags to try to help measure the
difference.
A possible explanation. In diamond-shaped CFGs (A followed by either
B or C both followed by D), putting B and C both in between A and
D leads to the code being less dense than it could be. Always either
B or C have to be skipped increasing the chance of cache misses etc.
Moving either B or C to after D might be beneficial on average.
In the long run, but we should probably do a better job of analyzing the
basic block and branch probabilities to move the correct one of B or
C to after D. But even if we don't use this in the long run, it is
a good baseline for benchmarking.

llvm-svn: 225908
PATCHPOINT is a strange pseudo-instruction. Depending on how it is used, and
whether or not the AnyReg calling convention is being used, it might or might
not define a value. However, its TableGen definition says that it defines one
value, and so when it doesn't, the code in ScheduleDAGSDNodes::RegDefIter
becomes confused and the code that uses the RegDefIter will try to get the
register class of the MVT::Other type associated with the PATCHPOINT's chain
result (under certain circumstances).
This will be covered by the PPC64 PatchPoint test cases once that support is
re-committed.

This adds handling for ExceptionHandling::MSVC, used by the
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc triple. It assumes that filter functions have
already been outlined in either the frontend or the backend. Filter
functions are used in place of the landingpad catch clause type info
operands. In catch clause order, the first filter to return true will
catch the exception.
The C specific handler table expects the landing pad to be split into
one block per handler, but LLVM IR uses a single landing pad for all
possible unwind actions. This patch papers over the mismatch by
synthesizing single instruction BBs for every catch clause to fill in
the EH selector that the landing pad block expects.
Missing functionality:
- Accessing data in the parent frame from outlined filters
- Cleanups (from __finally) are unsupported, as they will require
outlining and parent frame access
- Filter clauses are unsupported, as there's no clear analogue in SEH
In other words, this is the minimal set of changes needed to write IR to
catch arbitrary exceptions and resume normal execution.

emitDebugLocValue() into DwarfExpression.
Ought to be NFC, but it actually uncovered a bug in the debug-loc-asan.ll
testcase. The testcase checks that the address of variable "y" is stored
at [RSP+16], which also lines up with the comment.
It also check(ed) that the *value* of "y" is stored in RDI before that,
but that is actually incorrect, since RDI is the very value that is
stored in [RSP+16]. Here's the assembler output:
movb 2147450880(%rcx), %r8b
#DEBUG_VALUE: bar:y <- RDI
cmpb $0, %r8b

movq %rdi, 16(%rsp) # 8-byte Spill

#DEBUG_VALUE: bar:y <- [RSP+16]
Fixed the comment to spell out the correct register and the check to
expect an address rather than a value.

While, generally speaking, the process of lowering arguments for a patchpoint
is the same as lowering a regular indirect call, on some targets it may not be
exactly the same. Targets may not, for example, want to add additional register
dependencies that apply only to making cross-DSO calls through linker stubs,
may not want to load additional registers out of function descriptors, and may
not want to add additional side-effect-causing instructions that cannot be
removed later with the call itself being generated.
The PowerPC target will use this in a future commit (for all of the reasons
stated above).

Some targets, PowerPC for example, have pseudo-registers (such as that used to
represent the rounding mode), that don't have DWARF register numbers or a
register class. These are used only for internal dependency tracking, and
should not appear in the recorded live-outs. This adds a callback allowing the
target to pre-process the live-out mask in order to remove these kinds of
registers so that the StackMaps code does not complain about them and/or
attempt to include them in the output.
This will be used by the PowerPC target in a future commit.

Peephole optimizer is scanning a basic block forward. At some point it

if a MI is not in the set, it is assumed to be after.

PEI tries to keep track of how much starting or ending a call sequence adjusts the stack pointer by, so that it can resolve frame-index references. Currently, it takes a very simplistic view of how SP adjustments are done - both FrameStartOpcode and FrameDestroyOpcode adjust it exactly by the amount written in its first argument.
This view is in fact incorrect for some targets (e.g. due to stack re-alignment, or because it may want to adjust the stack pointer in multiple steps). However, that doesn't cause breakage, because most targets (the only in-tree exception appears to be 32-bit ARM) rely on being able to simplify the call frame pseudo-instructions earlier, so this code is never hit.
Moving the computation into TargetInstrInfo allows targets to override the way the adjustment is computed if they need to have a non-zero SPAdj.

A broken hint is a copy where both ends are assigned different colors. When a
variable gets evicted in the neighborhood of such copies, it is likely we can
reconcile some of them.
** Context **
Copies are inserted during the register allocation via splitting. These split
points are required to relax the constraints on the allocation problem. When
such a point is inserted, both ends of the copy would not share the same color
with respect to the current allocation problem. When variables get evicted,
the allocation problem becomes different and some split point may not be
required anymore. However, the related variables may already have been colored.
This usually shows up in the assembly with pattern like this:
def A
...
save A to B
def A
use A
restore A from B
...
use B
Whereas we could simply have done:
def B
...
def A
use A
...
use B
** Proposed Solution **
A variable having a broken hint is marked for late recoloring if and only if
selecting a register for it evict another variable. Indeed, if no eviction
happens this is pointless to look for recoloring opportunities as it means the
situation was the same as the initial allocation problem where we had to break
the hint.
Finally, when everything has been allocated, we look for recoloring
opportunities for all the identified candidates.
The recoloring is performed very late to rely on accurate copy cost (all
involved variables are allocated).
The recoloring is simple unlike the last change recoloring. It propagates the
color of the broken hint to all its copy-related variables. If the color is
available for them, the recoloring uses it, otherwise it gives up on that hint
even if a more complex coloring would have worked.
The recoloring happens only if it is profitable. The profitability is evaluated
using the expected frequency of the copies of the currently recolored variable
with a) its current color and b) with the target color. If a) is greater or
equal than b), then it is profitable and the recoloring happen.
** Example **
Consider the following example:
BB1:
a =
b =
BB2:
...
= b
= a
Let us assume b gets split:
BB1:
a =
b =
BB2:
c = b
...
d = c
= d
= a
Because of how the allocation work, b, c, and d may be assigned different
colors. Now, if a gets evicted to make room for c, assuming b and d were
assigned to something different than a.
We end up with:
BB1:
a =
st a, SpillSlot
b =
BB2:
c = b
...
d = c
= d
e = ld SpillSlot
= e
This is likely that we can assign the same register for b, c, and d,
getting rid of 2 copies.
** Performances **
Both ARM64 and x86_64 show performance improvements of up to 3% for the
llvm-testsuite + externals with Os and O3. There are a few regressions too that
comes from the (in)accuracy of the block frequency estimate.

type (in addition to the memory type).
The *LoadExt* legalization handling used to only have one type, the
memory type. This forced users to assume that as long as the extload
for the memory type was declared legal, and the result type was legal,
the whole extload was legal.
However, this isn't always the case. For instance, on X86, with AVX,
this is legal:
v4i32 load, zext from v4i8
but this isn't:
v4i64 load, zext from v4i8
Whereas v4i64 is (arguably) legal, even without AVX2.
Note that the same thing was done a while ago for truncstores (r46140),
but I assume no one needed it yet for extloads, so here we go.
Calls to getLoadExtAction were changed to add the value type, found
manually in the surrounding code.
Calls to setLoadExtAction were mechanically changed, by wrapping the
call in a loop, to match previous behavior. The loop iterates over
the MVT subrange corresponding to the memory type (FP vectors, etc...).
I also pulled neighboring setTruncStoreActions into some of the loops;
those shouldn't make a difference, as the additional types are illegal.
(e.g., i128->i1 truncstores on PPC.)

Testcase by Tom Stellard!

This change includes the most basic possible GCStrategy for a GC which is using the statepoint lowering code. At the moment, this GCStrategy doesn't really do much - aside from actually generate correct stackmaps that is - but I went ahead and added a few extra correctness checks as proof of concept. It's mostly here to provide documentation on how to do one, and to provide a point for various optimization legality hooks I'd like to add going forward. (For context, see the TODOs in InstCombine around gc.relocate.)
Most of the validation logic added here as proof of concept will soon move in to the Verifier. That move is dependent on http://reviews.llvm.org/D6811
There was discussion in the review thread about addrspace(1) being reserved for something. I'm going to follow up on a seperate llvmdev thread. If needed, I'll update all the code at once.
Note that I am deliberately not making a GCStrategy required to use gc.statepoints with this change. I want to give folks out of tree - including myself - a chance to migrate. In a week or two, I'll make having a GCStrategy be required for gc.statepoints. To this end, I added the gc tag to one of the test cases but not others.

Used to iterate over previously added memory dependencies in
adjustChainDeps() and iterateChainSucc().
SDep::isCtrl() was previously used in these places, that also gave
anti and output edges. The code may be worse if these are followed,
because MisNeedChainEdge() will conservatively return true since a
non-memory instruction has no memory operands, and a false chain dep
will be added. It is also unnecessary since all memory accesses of
interest will be reached by memory dependencies, and there is a budget
limit for the number of edges traversed.
This problem was found on an out-of-tree target with enabled alias
analysis. No test case for an in-tree target has been found.
