Each Calling convention (CC) defines a static list of registers that should be preserved by a callee function. All other registers should be saved by the caller.
Some CCs use additional condition: If the register is used for passing/returning arguments – the caller needs to save it - even if it is part of the Callee Saved Registers (CSR) list.
The current LLVM implementation doesn’t support it. It will save a register if it is part of the static CSR list and will not care if the register is passed/returned by the callee.
The solution is to dynamically allocate the CSR lists (Only for these CCs). The lists will be updated with actual registers that should be saved by the callee.
Since we need the allocated lists to live as long as the function exists, the list should reside inside the Machine Register Info (MRI) which is a property of the Machine Function and managed by it (and has the same life span).
The lists should be saved in the MRI and populated upon LowerCall and LowerFormalArguments.
The patch will also assist to implement future no_caller_saved_regsiters attribute intended for interrupt handler CC.

Recommitting r288293 with some extra fixes for GlobalISel code.
Most of the exception handling members in MachineModuleInfo is actually
per function data (talks about the "current function") so it is better
to keep it at the function instead of the module.
This is a necessary step to have machine module passes work properly.
Also:
- Rename TidyLandingPads() to tidyLandingPads()
- Use doxygen member groups instead of "//===- EH ---"... so it is clear
where a group ends.
- I had to add an ugly const_cast at two places in the AsmPrinter
because the available MachineFunction pointers are const, but the code
wants to call tidyLandingPads() in between
(markFunctionEnd()/endFunction()).

Avoid exposing a cl::opt in a public header and instead promote this
option in the API.
Alternatively, we could land the cl::opt in CommandFlags.h so that
it is available to every tool, but we would still have to find an
option for clang.

IPRA try to optimize caller saved register by propagating register
usage information from callee to caller so it is beneficial to have
caller saved registers compare to callee saved registers when IPRA
is enabled. Please find more detailed explanation here
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/llvm-dev/XRzGhJ9wtZg/tjAJqb0eEgAJ.
This change makes local function do not have any callee preserved
register when IPRA is enabled. A simple test case is also added to
verify this change.

This is the same change on PPC64 as r255821 on AArch64. I have even borrowed
his commit message.
The access function has a short entry and a short exit, the initialization
block is only run the first time. To improve the performance, we want to
have a short frame at the entry and exit.
We explicitly handle most of the CSRs via copies. Only the CSRs that are not
handled via copies will be in CSR_SaveList.
Frame lowering and prologue/epilogue insertion will generate a short frame
in the entry and exit according to CSR_SaveList. The majority of the CSRs will
be handled by register allcoator. Register allocator will try to spill and
reload them in the initialization block.
We add CSRsViaCopy, it will be explicitly handled during lowering.
1> we first set FunctionLoweringInfo->SplitCSR if conditions are met (the target
supports it for the given machine function and the function has only return
exits). We also call TLI->initializeSplitCSR to perform initialization.
2> we call TLI->insertCopiesSplitCSR to insert copies from CSRsViaCopy to
virtual registers at beginning of the entry block and copies from virtual
registers to CSRsViaCopy at beginning of the exit blocks.
3> we also need to make sure the explicit copies will not be eliminated.

HHVM calling convention, hhvmcc, is used by HHVM JIT for
functions in translated cache. We currently support LLVM back end to
generate code for X86-64 and may support other architectures in the
future.
In HHVM calling convention any GP register could be used to pass and
return values, with the exception of R12 which is reserved for
thread-local area and is callee-saved. Other than R12, we always
pass RBX and RBP as args, which are our virtual machine's stack pointer
and frame pointer respectively.
When we enter translation cache via hhvmcc function, we expect
the stack to be aligned at 16 bytes, i.e. skewed by 8 bytes as opposed
to standard ABI alignment. This affects stack object alignment and stack
adjustments for function calls.
One extra calling convention, hhvm_ccc, is used to call C++ helpers from
HHVM's translation cache. It is almost identical to standard C calling
convention with an exception of first argument which is passed in RBP
(before we use RDI, RSI, etc.)

This changes TargetFrameLowering::processFunctionBeforeCalleeSavedScan():
- Rename the function to determineCalleeSaves()
- Pass a bitset of callee saved registers by reference, thus avoiding
the function-global PhysRegUsed bitset in MachineRegisterInfo.
- Without PhysRegUsed the implementation is fine tuned to not save
physcial registers which are only read but never modified.

This is part of the work to remove TargetMachine::resetTargetOptions.
In this patch, instead of updating global variable NoFramePointerElim in
resetTargetOptions, its use in DisableFramePointerElim is replaced with a call
to TargetFrameLowering::noFramePointerElim. This function determines on a
per-function basis if frame pointer elimination should be disabled.
There is no change in functionality except that cl:opt option "disable-fp-elim"
can now override function attribute "no-frame-pointer-elim".

This moves the transformation introduced in r223757 into a separate MI pass.
This allows it to cover many more cases (not only cases where there must be a
reserved call frame), and perform rudimentary call folding. It still doesn't
have a heuristic, so it is enabled only for optsize/minsize, with stack
alignment <= 8, where it ought to be a fairly clear win.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]
