There are currently two schemes for mapping instruction operands to
instruction-format variables for generating the instruction encoders and
decoders for the assembler and disassembler respectively: a) to map by name and
b) to map by position.
In the long run, we'd like to remove the position-based scheme and use only
name-based mapping. Unfortunately, the name-based scheme currently cannot deal
with complex operands (those with suboperands), and so we currently must use
the position-based scheme for those. On the other hand, the position-based
scheme cannot deal with (register) variables that are split into multiple
ranges. An upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend (adding VSX support) will
require this capability. While we could teach the position-based scheme to
handle that, since we'd like to move away from the position-based mapping
generally, it seems silly to teach it new tricks now. What makes more sense is
to allow for partial transitioning: use the name-based mapping when possible,
and only use the position-based scheme when necessary.
Now the problem is that mixing the two sensibly was not possible: the
position-based mapping would map based on position, but would not skip those
variables that were mapped by name. Instead, the two sets of assignments would
overlap. However, I cannot currently change the current behavior, because there
are some backends that rely on it [I think mistakenly, but I'll send a message
to llvmdev about that]. So I've added a new TableGen bit variable:
noNamedPositionallyEncodedOperands, that can be used to cause the
position-based mapping to skip variables mapped by name.

The convention used to specify the PowerPC ISA is that bits are numbered in
reverse order (0 is the index of the high bit). To support this "little endian"
encoding convention, CodeEmitterGen will reverse the bit numberings prior to
generating the encoding tables. In order to generate a disassembler,
FixedLenDecoderEmitter needs to do the same.
This moves the bit reversal logic out of CodeEmitterGen and into CodeGenTarget
(where it can be used by both CodeEmitterGen and FixedLenDecoderEmitter). This
is prep work for disassembly support in the PPC backend (which is the only
in-tree user of this little-endian encoding support).

Some of these dyn_cast<>'s would be better phrased as isa<> or cast<>.
That will happen in a future patch.
There are also two dyn_cast_or_null<>'s slipped in instead of
dyn_cast<>'s, since they were causing crashes with just dyn_cast<>.

- This patch is inspired by the failure of the following code snippet
which is used to convert enumerable values into encoding bits to
improve the readability of td files.
class S<int s> {
bits<2> V = !if(!eq(s, 8), {0, 0},
!if(!eq(s, 16), {0, 1},
!if(!eq(s, 32), {1, 0},
!if(!eq(s, 64), {1, 1}, {?, ?}))));
}
Later, PR8330 is found to report not exactly the same bug relevant
issue to bit/bits values.
- Instead of resolving bit/bits values separately through
resolveBitReference(), this patch adds getBit() for all Inits and
resolves bit value by resolving plus getting the specified bit. This
unifies the resolving of bit with other values and removes redundant
logic for resolving bit only. In addition,
BitsInit::resolveReferences() is optimized to take advantage of this
origanization by resolving VarBitInit's variable reference first and
then getting bits from it.
- The type interference in '!if' operator is revised to support possible
combinations of int and bits/bit in MHS and RHS.
- As there may be illegal assignments from integer value to bit, says
assign 2 to a bit, but we only check this during instantiation in some
cases, e.g.
bit V = !if(!eq(x, 17), 0, 2);
Verbose diagnostic message is generated when invalid value is
resolveed to help locating the error.
- PR8330 is fixed as well.

~0U might be i32 on 32-bit hosts, then (uint64_t)~0U might not be expected as (i64)0xFFFFFFFF_FFFFFFFF, but as (i64)0x00000000_FFFFFFFF.

Manage Inits in a FoldingSet. This provides several benefits:
- Memory for Inits is properly managed
- Duplicate Inits are folded into Flyweights, saving memory
- It enforces const-correctness, protecting against certain classes
of bugs
The above benefits allow Inits to be used in more contexts, which in
turn provides more dynamism to TableGen. This enhanced capability
will be used by the AVX code generator to a fold common patterns
together.

For now this is distinct from isCodeGenOnly, as code-gen-only
instructions can (and often do) still have encoding information
associated with them. Once we've migrated all of them over to true
pseudo-instructions that are lowered to real instructions prior to
the printer/emitter, we can remove isCodeGenOnly and just use isPseudo.

Unfortunately, my only testcase for this is fragile, and the ARM AsmParser can't round trip the instruction in question.

operand values. This is useful for operands which require additional trickery
to encode into the instruction. For example, the ARM shifted immediate and
shifted register operands.

try to match them by name first. If there is no by-name match, fall back to

Ideally, TargetOpcodes.h should be produced by TableGen from Target.td, but it
is hardly worth the effort.

sub-register indices and outputs a single super register which is formed from
a consecutive sequence of registers.
This is used as register allocation / coalescing aid and it is useful to
represent instructions that output register pairs / quads. For example,
v1024, v1025 = vload <address>
where v1024 and v1025 forms a register pair.
This really should be modelled as
v1024<3>, v1025<4> = vload <address>
but it would violate SSA property before register allocation is done.
Currently we use insert_subreg to form the super register:
v1026 = implicit_def
v1027 - insert_subreg v1026, v1024, 3
v1028 = insert_subreg v1027, v1025, 4
...
= use v1024
= use v1028
But this adds pseudo live interval overlap between v1024 and v1025.
We can now modeled it as
v1024, v1025 = vload <address>
v1026 = REG_SEQUENCE v1024, 3, v1025, 4
...
= use v1024
= use v1026
After coalescing, it will be
v1026<3>, v1025<4> = vload <address>
...
= use v1026<3>
= use v1026
