The Hazard checker implements in-order contraints, or interlocked
resources. Ready instructions with hazards do not enter the available
queue and are not visible to other heuristics.
The major code change is the addition of SchedBoundary to encapsulate
the state at the top or bottom of the schedule, including both a
pending and available queue.
The scheduler now counts cycles in sync with the hazard checker. These
are minimum cycle counts based on known hazards.
Targets with no itinerary (x86_64) currently remain at cycle 0. To fix
this, we need to provide some maximum issue width for all targets. We
also need to add the concept of expected latency vs. minimum latency.

Introduce the basic strategy for register pressure scheduling.
1) Respect target limits at all times.
2) Indentify critical register classes (pressure sets).
Track pressure within the scheduled region.
Avoid increasing scheduled pressure for critical registers.
3) Avoid exceeding the max pressure of the region prior to scheduling.
Added logic for picking between the top and bottom ready Q's based on
regpressure heuristics.
Status: functional but needs to be asjusted to achieve good results.
llvm-svn: 157006
Prioritize the instruction that comes closest to keeping pressure
under the target's limit. Then prioritize instructions that avoid
increasing the max pressure in the scheduled region. The max pressure
heuristic is a tad aggressive. Later I'll fix it to consider the
unscheduled pressure as well.
WIP: This is mostly functional but untested and not likely to do much good yet.

New flags: -misched-topdown, -misched-bottomup. They can be used with
the default scheduler or with -misched=shuffle. Without either
topdown/bottomup flag -misched=shuffle now alternates scheduling
direction.
LiveIntervals update is unimplemented with bottom-up scheduling, so
only -misched-topdown currently works.
Capped the ScheduleDAG hierarchy with a concrete ScheduleDAGMI class.
ScheduleDAGMI is aware of the top and bottom of the unscheduled zone
within the current region. Scheduling policy can be plugged into
the ScheduleDAGMI driver by implementing MachineSchedStrategy.
ConvergingScheduler is now the default scheduling algorithm.
It exercises the new driver but still does no reordering.

Allow targets to provide their own schedulers (subclass of
ScheduleDAGInstrs) to the misched pass. Select schedulers using
-misched=...

ScheduleDAG is responsible for the DAG: SUnits and SDeps. It provides target hooks for latency computation.
ScheduleDAGInstrs extends ScheduleDAG and defines the current scheduling region in terms of MachineInstr iterators. It has access to the target's scheduling itinerary data. ScheduleDAGInstrs provides the logic for building the ScheduleDAG for the sequence of MachineInstrs in the current region. Target's can implement highly custom schedulers by extending this class.
ScheduleDAGPostRATDList provides the driver and diagnostics for current postRA scheduling. It maintains a current Sequence of scheduled machine instructions and logic for splicing them into the block. During scheduling, it uses the ScheduleHazardRecognizer provided by the target.
Specific changes:
- Removed driver code from ScheduleDAG. clearDAG is the only interface needed.
- Added enterRegion/exitRegion hooks to ScheduleDAGInstrs to delimit the scope of each scheduling region and associated DAG. They should be used to setup and cleanup any region-specific state in addition to the DAG itself. This is necessary because we reuse the same ScheduleDAG object for the entire function. The target may extend these hooks to do things at regions boundaries, like bundle terminators. The hooks are called even if we decide not to schedule the region. So all instructions in a block are "covered" by these calls.
- Added ScheduleDAGInstrs::begin()/end() public API.
- Moved Sequence into the driver layer, which is specific to the scheduling algorithm.

Affect on SD scheduling and postRA scheduling:
Printing the DAG will display the nodes in top-down topological order.
This matches the order within the MBB and makes my life much easier in general.
Affect on misched:
We don't need to track virtual register uses at all. This is awesome.
I also intend to rely on the SUnit ID as a topo-sort index. So if A < B then we cannot have an edge B -> A.

Creates a configurable regalloc pipeline.
Ensure specific llc options do what they say and nothing more: -reglloc=... has no effect other than selecting the allocator pass itself. This patch introduces a new umbrella flag, "-optimize-regalloc", to enable/disable the optimizing regalloc "superpass". This allows for example testing coalscing and scheduling under -O0 or vice-versa.
When a CodeGen pass requires the MachineFunction to have a particular property, we need to explicitly define that property so it can be directly queried rather than naming a specific Pass. For example, to check for SSA, use MRI->isSSA, not addRequired<PHIElimination>.
CodeGen transformation passes are never "required" as an analysis
ProcessImplicitDefs does not require LiveVariables.
We have a plan to massively simplify some of the early passes within the regalloc superpass.
