In particular, Collector was confusing to implementors. Several
thought that this compile-time class was the place to implement
their runtime GC heap. Of course, it doesn't even exist at runtime.
Specifically, the renames are:
Collector -> GCStrategy
CollectorMetadata -> GCFunctionInfo
CollectorModuleMetadata -> GCModuleInfo
CollectorRegistry -> GCRegistry
Function::getCollector -> getGC (setGC, hasGC, clearGC)
Several accessors and nested types have also been renamed to be
consistent. These changes should be obvious.

to different address spaces. This alters the naming scheme for those
intrinsics, e.g., atomic.load.add.i32 => atomic.load.add.i32.p0i32

and better control the abstraction. Rename the type
to MVT. To update out-of-tree patches, the main
thing to do is to rename MVT::ValueType to MVT, and
rewrite expressions like MVT::getSizeInBits(VT) in
the form VT.getSizeInBits(). Use VT.getSimpleVT()
to extract a MVT::SimpleValueType for use in switch
statements (you will get an assert failure if VT is
an extended value type - these shouldn't exist after
type legalization).
This results in a small speedup of codegen and no
new testsuite failures (x86-64 linux).

the section or the visibility from one global
value to another: copyAttributesFrom. This is
particularly useful for duplicating functions:
previously this was done by explicitly copying
each attribute in turn at each place where a
new function was created out of an old one, with
the result that obscure attributes were regularly
forgotten (like the collector or the section).
Hopefully now everything is uniform and nothing
is forgotten.

1. There is now a "PAListPtr" class, which is a smart pointer around
the underlying uniqued parameter attribute list object, and manages
its refcount. It is now impossible to mess up the refcount.
2. PAListPtr is now the main interface to the underlying object, and
the underlying object is now completely opaque.
3. Implementation details like SmallVector and FoldingSet are now no
longer part of the interface.
4. You can create a PAListPtr with an arbitrary sequence of
ParamAttrsWithIndex's, no need to make a SmallVector of a specific
size (you can just use an array or scalar or vector if you wish).
5. All the client code that had to check for a null pointer before
dereferencing the pointer is simplified to just access the
PAListPtr directly.
6. The interfaces for adding attrs to a list and removing them is a
bit simpler.
Phase #2 will rename some stuff (e.g. PAListPtr) and do other less
invasive changes.

calls 'nounwind'. It is important for correct C++
exception handling that nounwind markings do not get
lost, so this transformation is actually needed for
correctness.

methods are new to Function:
bool hasCollector() const;
const std::string &getCollector() const;
void setCollector(const std::string &);
void clearCollector();
The assembly representation is as such:
define void @f() gc "shadow-stack" { ...
The implementation uses an on-the-side table to map Functions to
collector names, such that there is no overhead. A StringPool is
further used to unique collector names, which are extremely
likely to be unique per process.

throw exceptions", just mark intrinsics with the nounwind
attribute. Likewise, mark intrinsics as readnone/readonly

anything more than this anyway).

the function type, instead they belong to functions
and function calls. This is an updated and slightly
corrected version of Reid Spencer's original patch.
The only known problem is that auto-upgrading of
bitcode files doesn't seem to work properly (see
test/Bitcode/AutoUpgradeIntrinsics.ll). Hopefully
a bitcode guru (who might that be? :) ) will fix it.

trivial difference in function attributes, allow calls to it to
be converted to direct calls. Based on a patch by Török Edwin.
While there, move the various lists of mutually incompatible
parameters etc out of the verifier and into ParameterAttributes.h.

any sense it is important that ParamAttr::None gets
treated the same as not supplying an attribute at
all. Rather than stripping ParamAttr::None out of
the list of attributes, assert if ParamAttr::None
is seen. Fix up the bitcode reader which liked to
insert ParamAttr::None all over the place. Patch
based on one by Török Edwin.

of their elements do not yield the same ParamAttrsList,
though they should. On the other hand, everyone seems
to pass such vectors with elements ordered by increasing
index, so rather than sorting the elements simply assert
that the elements are ordered in this way.

use the ValueType name instead of the llvm type name, to match what the
verifier expects. For integers these are the same, but for floating-point
values the intrinsics use f32/f64 instead of float/double.

that don't use it don't have to pay the memory cost for the arguments. This
allows us to avoid creating Argument nodes for many prototypes and for clients
who lazily deserialize code from a bytecode file.

Change the keywords for the zext and sext parameter attributes to be
zeroext and signext so they don't conflict with the keywords for the
instructions of the same name. This gets around the ambiguity.
