As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@358546 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
The retpoline mitigation for variant 2 of CVE-2017-5715 inhibits the
branch predictor, and as a result it can lead to a measurable loss of
performance. We can reduce the performance impact of retpolined virtual
calls by replacing them with a special construct known as a branch
funnel, which is an instruction sequence that implements virtual calls
to a set of known targets using a binary tree of direct branches. This
allows the processor to speculately execute valid implementations of the
virtual function without allowing for speculative execution of of calls
to arbitrary addresses.
This patch extends the whole-program devirtualization pass to replace
certain virtual calls with calls to branch funnels, which are
represented using a new llvm.icall.jumptable intrinsic. It also extends
the LowerTypeTests pass to recognize the new intrinsic, generate code
for the branch funnels (x86_64 only for now) and lay out virtual tables
as required for each branch funnel.
The implementation supports full LTO as well as ThinLTO, and extends the
ThinLTO summary format used for whole-program devirtualization to
support branch funnels.

Not all targets support the use of absolute symbols to export
constants. In particular, ARM has a wide variety of constant encodings
that cannot currently be relocated by linkers. So instead of exporting
the constants using symbols, export them directly in the summary.
The values of the constants are left as zeroes on targets that support
symbolic exports.
This may result in more cache misses when targeting those architectures
as a result of arbitrary changes in constant values, but this seems
somewhat unavoidable for now.

Any unsuccessful llvm.type.checked.load devirtualizations will be translated
into uses of llvm.type.test, so we need to add the resulting llvm.type.test
intrinsics to the function summaries so that the LowerTypeTests pass will
export them.
