The tool was passing the wrong operand index to method
MCSubtargetInfo::getReadAdvanceCycles(). That method requires a "UseIdx", and
not the operand index. This was found when testing X86 code where instructions
had a memory folded operand.
This patch fixes the issue and adds test read-advance-1.s to ensure that
the ReadAfterLd (a ReadAdvance of 3cy) information is correctly used.

This is done in preparation for the fix for PR36874.
The number of cycles consumed for each pipe is now a double quantity. This
allows reuse of the resource pressure view to print out instruction tables.

This patch introduces two new callbacks in the event listener interface to
handle the "buffered resource reserved" event and the "buffered resource
released" event. Every time a buffered resource is used, an event is generated.
Before this patch, the Scheduler (with the help of the ResourceManager) was
responsible for tracking the scheduler's queue usage. However, that design
forced the Scheduler to 'publish' scheduler's queue pressure information through
the Backend interface.
The goal of this patch is to break the dependency between the BackendStatistics
view, and the Backend. Now the Scheduler knows how to notify "buffer
reserved/released" events. The scheduler's queue usage analysis has been moved
to the BackendStatistics.

Function computeProcResourceMasks is used by the ResourceManager (owned by the
Scheduler) to compute resource masks for processor resources. Before this
refactoring, there was an implicit dependency between the Scheduler and the
InstrBuilder. That is because InstrBuilder has to know about resource masks when
computing the set of processor resources consumed by a new instruction.
With this patch, the functionality that computes resource masks has been
extracted from the ResourceManager, and moved to a separate file (Support.h).
This helps removing the dependency between the Scheduler and the InstrBuilder.
No functional change intended.

Since r327420, the tool can query the MCSchedModel interface to obtain the
reciprocal throughput information.
As a consequence, method `ResourceManager::getRThroughput`, and
method `Backend::getRThroughput` are no longer needed.
This patch simplifies the code by removing the custom RThroughput computation.
This patch also refactors class SummaryView by removing the dependency with
the Backend object.
No functional change intended.

Summary: This is a first step towards making the pipeline configurable.

This change removes method Backend::getProcResourceMasks() and simplifies some
logic in the Views. This effectively removes yet another dependency between the
views and the Backend.
No functional change intended.

This patch fixes a problem found when testing zero latency instructions on
target AArch64 -mcpu=exynos-m3 / -mcpu=exynos-m1.
On Exynos-m3/m1, direct branches are zero-latency instructions that don't consume
any processor resources. The DispatchUnit marks zero-latency instructions as
"executed", so that no scheduling is required. The event of instruction
executed is then notified to all the listeners, and the reorder buffer (managed
by the RetireControlUnit) is updated. In particular, the entry associated to the
zero-latency instruction in the reorder buffer is marked as executed.
Before this patch, the DispatchUnit forgot to assign a retire control unit token
(RCUToken) to the zero-latency instruction. As a consequence, the RCUToken was
used uninitialized. This was causing a crash in the RetireControlUnit logic.
Fixes PR36650.

llvm-mca is an LLVM based performance analysis tool that can be used to
statically measure the performance of code, and to help triage potential
problems with target scheduling models.
llvm-mca uses information which is already available in LLVM (e.g. scheduling
models) to statically measure the performance of machine code in a specific cpu.
Performance is measured in terms of throughput as well as processor resource
consumption. The tool currently works for processors with an out-of-order
backend, for which there is a scheduling model available in LLVM.
The main goal of this tool is not just to predict the performance of the code
when run on the target, but also help with diagnosing potential performance
issues.
Given an assembly code sequence, llvm-mca estimates the IPC (instructions per
cycle), as well as hardware resources pressure. The analysis and reporting style
were mostly inspired by the IACA tool from Intel.
