Summary:
This patch mostly copies the existing Instruction Flow, and stage descriptions
from the mca README. I made a few text tweaks, but no semantic changes,
and made reference to the "default pipeline." I also removed the internals
references (e.g., reference to class names and header files). I did leave the
LSUnit name around, but only as an abbreviated word for the load-store unit.

Summary: The original text was lifted from the MCA README. I re-ran the dot-product example and updated the output seen in the docs. I also added a few paragraphs discussing the instruction issued and retired histograms, as well as discussing the register file stats.

the View and probably removing some of the less-interesting/less-useful pieces.

This patch introduces a brief description of the components of MCA. The main
focus is on Views. This is a work in progress, and more descriptions will be
introduced later. I want to flesh-out the Views section more and provide a
detailed description of eventing in MCA. Eventually a brief code example of a
View should accompany the description.
Also, we should consider moving the MCA internals guide elsewhere at some point.

-v prints all directive pattern matches.
-vv additionally prints info that might be noise to users but that can
be helpful to FileCheck developers.
To maximize code reuse and to make diagnostics more consistent, this
patch also adjusts and extends some of the existing diagnostics.
CHECK-NOT failures now report variables uses. Many more diagnostics
now report the check prefix and kind of directive.

That is, make CHECK-DAG skip matches that overlap the matches of any
preceding consecutive CHECK-DAG directives. This change makes
CHECK-DAG more consistent with other directives, and there is evidence
it makes CHECK-DAG more intuitive and less error-prone. See the RFC
discussion starting at:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/123010.html
Moreover, this behavior enables CHECK-DAG groups for unordered,
non-unique strings or patterns. For example, it is useful for
verifying output or logs from a parallel program, such as the OpenMP
runtime.
This patch also implements the command-line option
-allow-deprecated-dag-overlap, which reverts CHECK-DAG to the old
overlapping behavior. This option should not be used in new tests.
It is meant only for the existing tests that are broken by this change
and that need time to update.
See the following bugzilla issue for tracking of such tests:

The aim of this backend is to output everything TableGen knows about
the record set, similarly to the default -print-records backend. But
where -print-records produces output in TableGen's input syntax
(convenient for humans to read), this backend produces it as
structured JSON data, which is convenient for loading into standard
scripting languages such as Python, in order to extract information
from the data set in an automated way.
The output data contains a JSON representation of the variable
definitions in output 'def' records, and a few pieces of metadata such
as which of those definitions are tagged with the 'field' prefix and
which defs are derived from which classes. It doesn't dump out
absolutely every piece of knowledge it _could_ produce, such as type
information and complicated arithmetic operator nodes in abstract
superclasses; the main aim is to allow consumers of this JSON dump to
essentially act as new backends, and backends don't generally need to
depend on that kind of data.
The new backend is implemented as an EmitJSON() function similar to
all of llvm-tblgen's other EmitFoo functions, except that it lives in
lib/TableGen instead of utils/TableGen on the basis that I'm expecting
to add it to clang-tblgen too in a future patch.
To test it, I've written a Python script that loads the JSON output
and tests properties of it based on comments in the .td source - more
or less like FileCheck, except that the CHECK: lines have Python
expressions after them instead of textual pattern matches.

Prior to this change, there was no clean way of getting FileCheck to
check that a line is completely empty. The expected way of using
"CHECK: {{^$}}" does not work because the '^' matches the end of the
previous match (this behaviour may be desirable in certain instances).
For the same reason, "CHECK-NEXT: {{^$}}" will fail when the previous
match was at the end of the line, as the pattern will match there.
Using the recommended [[:space:]] to match an explicit new line could
also match a space, and thus is not always desired. Literal '\n'
matches also do not work. A workaround was suggested in the review, but
it is a little clunky.
This change adds a new directive that behaves the same as CHECK-NEXT,
except that it only matches against empty lines (nothing, not even
whitespace, is allowed). As with CHECK-NEXT, it will fail if more than
one newline occurs before the next blank line. Example usage:
; test.txt
foo
bar
; CHECK: foo
; CHECK-EMPTY:
; CHECK-NEXT: bar

When debugging test failures with -vv (or -v in the case of the

failed. For example, clang's test/Driver/linux-ld.c has 892 total RUN

after concatenation for line continuations.
When reading the generated shell script, this also makes it easier to

The DEBUG() macro is very generic so it might clash with other projects.
The renaming was done as follows:
- git grep -l 'DEBUG' | xargs sed -i 's/\bDEBUG\s\?(/LLVM_DEBUG(/g'
- git diff -U0 master | ../clang/tools/clang-format/clang-format-diff.py -i -p1 -style LLVM
- Manual change to APInt
- Manually chage DOCS as regex doesn't match it.
In the transition period the DEBUG() macro is still present and aliased
to the LLVM_DEBUG() one.

This patch teaches llvm-mca how to parse code comments in search for special
"markers" used to select regions of code.
Example:
# LLVM-MCA-BEGIN My Code Region
....
# LLVM-MCA-END
The MCAsmLexer now delegates to an object of class MCACommentParser (i.e. an
AsmCommentConsumer) the parsing of code comments to search for begin/end code
region markers.
A comment starting with substring "LLVM-MCA-BEGIN" marks the beginning of a new
region of code. A comment starting with substring "LLVM-MCA-END" marks the end
of the last region.
This implementation doesn't allow regions to overlap. Each region can have a
optional description; internally, each region is identified by a range of source
code locations (SMLoc).
MCInst objects are added to a region R only if the source location for the
MCInst is in the range of locations specified by R.
By default, the tool allocates an implicit "Default" code region which contains
every source location. See new tests llvm-mca-marker-*.s for a few examples.
A new Backend object is created for every region. So, the analysis is conducted
on every parsed code region. The final report is the union of the reports
generated for every code region. Note that empty regions are skipped.
Special "[#] Code Region - ..." strings are used in the report to mark the
portion which is specific to a code region only. For example, see
llvm-mca-markers-5.s.

Summary:
The option is helpful for large projects where it's not feasible to specify sources which
user would like to see in the report. Instead, it allows to black-list specific sources via
regular expressions (e.g. now it's possible to skip all files that have "test" in its name).
