Previously, generation of stack protectors was done exclusively in the
pre-SelectionDAG Codegen LLVM IR Pass "Stack Protector". This necessitated
splitting basic blocks at the IR level to create the success/failure basic
blocks in the tail of the basic block in question. As a result of this,
calls that would have qualified for the sibling call optimization were no
longer eligible for optimization since said calls were no longer right in
the "tail position" (i.e. the immediate predecessor of a ReturnInst
instruction).
Then it was noticed that since the sibling call optimization causes the
callee to reuse the caller's stack, if we could delay the generation of
the stack protector check until later in CodeGen after the sibling call
decision was made, we get both the tail call optimization and the stack
protector check!
A few goals in solving this problem were:
1. Preserve the architecture independence of stack protector generation.
2. Preserve the normal IR level stack protector check for platforms like
OpenBSD for which we support platform specific stack protector
generation.
The main problem that guided the present solution is that one can not
solve this problem in an architecture independent manner at the IR level
only. This is because:
1. The decision on whether or not to perform a sibling call on certain
platforms (for instance i386) requires lower level information
related to available registers that can not be known at the IR level.
2. Even if the previous point were not true, the decision on whether to
perform a tail call is done in LowerCallTo in SelectionDAG which
occurs after the Stack Protector Pass. As a result, one would need to
put the relevant callinst into the stack protector check success
basic block (where the return inst is placed) and then move it back
later at SelectionDAG/MI time before the stack protector check if the
tail call optimization failed. The MI level option was nixed
immediately since it would require platform specific pattern
matching. The SelectionDAG level option was nixed because
SelectionDAG only processes one IR level basic block at a time
implying one could not create a DAG Combine to move the callinst.
To get around this problem a few things were realized:
1. While one can not handle multiple IR level basic blocks at the
SelectionDAG Level, one can generate multiple machine basic blocks
for one IR level basic block. This is how we handle bit tests and
switches.
2. At the MI level, tail calls are represented via a special return
MIInst called "tcreturn". Thus if we know the basic block in which we
wish to insert the stack protector check, we get the correct behavior
by always inserting the stack protector check right before the return
statement. This is a "magical transformation" since no matter where
the stack protector check intrinsic is, we always insert the stack
protector check code at the end of the BB.
Given the aforementioned constraints, the following solution was devised:
1. On platforms that do not support SelectionDAG stack protector check
generation, allow for the normal IR level stack protector check
generation to continue.
2. On platforms that do support SelectionDAG stack protector check
generation:
a. Use the IR level stack protector pass to decide if a stack
protector is required/which BB we insert the stack protector check
in by reusing the logic already therein. If we wish to generate a
stack protector check in a basic block, we place a special IR
intrinsic called llvm.stackprotectorcheck right before the BB's
returninst or if there is a callinst that could potentially be
sibling call optimized, before the call inst.
b. Then when a BB with said intrinsic is processed, we codegen the BB
normally via SelectBasicBlock. In said process, when we visit the
stack protector check, we do not actually emit anything into the
BB. Instead, we just initialize the stack protector descriptor
class (which involves stashing information/creating the success
mbbb and the failure mbb if we have not created one for this
function yet) and export the guard variable that we are going to
compare.
c. After we finish selecting the basic block, in FinishBasicBlock if
the StackProtectorDescriptor attached to the SelectionDAGBuilder is
initialized, we first find a splice point in the parent basic block
before the terminator and then splice the terminator of said basic
block into the success basic block. Then we code-gen a new tail for
the parent basic block consisting of the two loads, the comparison,
and finally two branches to the success/failure basic blocks. We
conclude by code-gening the failure basic block if we have not
code-gened it already (all stack protector checks we generate in
the same function, use the same failure basic block).

Teach the generic instruction selection helper functions to constrain
the register classes of their input operands. For non-physical register
references, the generic code needs to be careful not to mess that up
when replacing references to result registers. As the comment indicates
for MachineRegisterInfo::replaceRegWith(), it's important to call
constrainRegClass() first.

Change the informal convention of DBG_VALUE machine instructions so that
we can express a register-indirect address with an offset of 0.
The old convention was that a DBG_VALUE is a register-indirect value if
the offset (operand 1) is nonzero. The new convention is that a DBG_VALUE
is register-indirect if the first operand is a register and the second
operand is an immediate. For plain register values the combination reg,
reg is used. MachineInstrBuilder::BuildMI knows how to build the new
DBG_VALUES.

Stop using the ISD::EXCEPTIONADDR and ISD::EHSELECTION when lowering
landing pad arguments. These nodes were previously legalized into
CopyFromReg nodes, but that never worked properly because the
CopyFromReg node weren't guaranteed to be scheduled at the top of the
basic block.
This meant the exception pointer and selector registers could be
clobbered before being copied to a virtual register.
This patch copies the two physical registers to virtual registers at
the beginning of the basic block, and lowers the landingpad instruction
directly to two CopyFromReg nodes reading the *virtual* registers. This
is safe because virtual registers don't get clobbered.
A future patch will remove the ISD::EXCEPTIONADDR and ISD::EHSELECTION
nodes.

Rather than using the full power of target-specific addressing modes in
DBG_VALUEs with Frame Indicies, simply use Frame Index + Offset. This
reduces the complexity of debug info handling down to two
representations of values (reg+offset and frame index+offset) rather
than three or four.
Ideally we could ensure that frame indicies had been eliminated by the
time we reached an assembly or dwarf generation, but I haven't spent the
time to figure out where the FIs are leaking through into that & whether
there's a good place to convert them. Some FI+offset=>reg+offset
conversion is done (see PrologEpilogInserter, for example) which is
necessary for some SelectionDAG assumptions about registers, I believe,
but it might be possible to make this a more thorough conversion &
ensure there are no remaining FIs no matter how instruction selection
is performed.

A node's ordering is only propagated during legalization if (a) the new node does
not have an ordering (is not a CSE'd node), or (b) the new node has an ordering
that is higher than the node being legalized.

This doesn't reset all of the target options within the TargetOptions

Summary:
Statistics are still available in Release+Asserts (any +Asserts builds),
and stats can also be turned on with LLVM_ENABLE_STATS.
Move some of the FastISel stats that were moved under DEBUG()
back out of DEBUG(), since stats are disabled across the board now.
Many tests depend on grepping "-stats" output. Move those into
a orig_dir/Stats/. so that they can be marked as unsupported
when building without statistics.

SelectionDAGIsel::LowerArguments needs a function, not a basic block. So it
makes sense to pass it the function instead of extracting a basic-block from
the function and then tossing it. This is also more self-documenting (functions
have arguments, BBs don't).
In addition, added comments to a couple of Select* methods.

fewer scalar integer (i32 or i64) arguments. It completely eliminates the need
for SDISel for trivial functions.
Also, add the new llc -fast-isel-abort-args option, which is similar to
-fast-isel-abort option, but for formal argument lowering.

If the frame pointer is omitted, and any stack changes occur in the inline
assembly, e.g.: "pusha", then any C local variable or C argument references
will be incorrect.
I pass no judgement on anyone who would do such a thing. ;)

If two functions require different features (e.g., `-mno-sse' vs. `-msse') then
we want to honor that, especially during LTO. We can do that by resetting the
subtarget's features depending upon the 'target-feature' attribute.

function is successfully handled by fast-isel. That's because function
arguments are *always* handled by SDISel. Introduce FastLowerArguments to
allow each target to provide hook to handle formal argument lowering.
As a proof-of-concept, add ARMFastIsel::FastLowerArguments to handle
functions with 4 or fewer scalar integer (i8, i16, or i32) arguments. It
completely eliminates the need for SDISel for trivial functions.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

This shouldn't affect codegen for -O0 compiles as tail call markers are not
emitted in unoptimized compiles. Testing with the external/internal nightly
test suite reveals no change in compile time performance. Testing with -O1,
-O2 and -O3 with fast-isel enabled did not cause any compile-time or
execution-time failures. All tests were performed on my x86 machine.
I'll monitor our arm testers to ensure no regressions occur there.
In an upcoming clang patch I will be marking the objc_autoreleaseReturnValue
and objc_retainAutoreleaseReturnValue as tail calls unconditionally. While
it's theoretically true that this is just an optimization, it's an
optimization that we very much want to happen even at -O0, or else ARC
applications become substantially harder to debug.

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. =]

This allows me to begin enabling (or backing out) misched by default
for one subtarget at a time. To run misched we typically want to:
- Disable SelectionDAG scheduling (use the source order scheduler)
- Enable more aggressive coalescing (until we decide to always run the coalescer this way)
- Enable MachineScheduler pass itself.
Disabling PostRA sched may follow for some subtargets.

Also provide an MRI::getReservedRegs() function to access the frozen
register set, and isReserved() and isAllocatable() methods to test
individual registers.
The various implementations of TRI::getReservedRegs() are quite
complicated, and many passes need to look at the reserved register set.
This patch makes it possible for these passes to use the cached copy in
MRI, avoiding a lot of malloc traffic and repeated calculations.
