This adds a scheduling model for the POWER7 (P7) core, and enables the
machine-instruction scheduler when targeting the P7. Scheduling for the P7,
like earlier ooo PPC cores, requires considering both dispatch group hazards,
and functional unit resources and latencies. These are both modeled in a
combined itinerary. Dispatch group formation is still handled by the post-RA
scheduler (which still needs to be updated for the P7, but nevertheless does a
pretty good job).
One interesting aspect of this change is that I've also enabled to use of AA
duing CodeGen for the P7 (just as it is for the embedded cores). The benchmark
results seem to support this decision (see below), and while this is normally
useful for in-order cores, and not for ooo cores like the P7, I think that the
dispatch slot hazards are enough like in-order resources to make the AA useful.
Test suite significant performance differences (where negative is a speedup,
and positive is a regression) vs. the current situation:

These are 99.5% confidence intervals from 5 runs per configuration. Regarding
the choice to turn on AA during CodeGen, of these results, four seem
significantly in favor of using AA, and one seems significantly against. I'm
not making this decision based on these numbers alone, but these results
seem consistent with results I have from other tests, and so I think that, on
balance, using AA is a win.

In preparation for adding scheduling definitions for the POWER7, split some PPC
itinerary classes so that the P7's latencies and hazards can be better
described. For the most part, this means differentiating indexed from non-index
pre-increment loads and stores. Also, differentiate single from
double-precision sqrt.
No functionality change intended (except for a more-specific latency for
single-precision sqrt on the A2).
llvm-svn: 195980
Convert this test to FileCheck, and improve it to check for the instructions it
is trying to exclude instead of checking for register use (especially because
grepping for r1 can be thrown off, for example, by a use of r12).
llvm-svn: 195979
Some of these tests did not specify a cpu but were also sensitive to
instruction scheduling and/or register assignment choices. A few others
similarly-sensitive tests specified a cpu (often the POWER7), and while the P7
currently uses the default model for PPC64, this will soon change. For those
tests which should not really be cpu-dependent anyway, the cpu is set to the
generic 'ppc64'.

This prevents the compiler from emitting invalid ld.[bhwd]'s and st.[bhwd]'s
when the stack frame is between 512 and 32,768 bytes in size.

in constant islands for Mips16. We introdcuce JalB16 as a synomnym
for Jal16. It makes it easier to read and is also necessary because
Jal16 is a call instruction but JalB16 is being used as a branch.
Various parts of LLVM will not work properly even in this late stage of
the backend if we use what was declared as a call instruction to function
as a branch. For one, basic block labels may not get emitted in some
situations.

The operand latencies for loads and stores in the PPC440 itinerary were wrong
(the store operands are all inputs, and the "with update" (pre-increment)
instructions need a latency for the additional output).
llvm-svn: 195948
The operand latencies for the PPC440 should be specified relative to dispatch,
not relative to the initial fetch-and-decode stages. Because most instructions
(ignoring bypass) wait in dispatch until their operands are ready, this is
modeled as reading input operands "at dispatch" (0 cycles after issue), and so
every input and output operand has 4 cycles subtracted from it.
This could alter scheduling slightly, but I don't expect a large effect.
llvm-svn: 195947
Modeling the fetch and decode units in the PPC440 itinerary does not add
anything to the hazard detection capability (and so modeling them just wastes
compile time).
No functionality change intended.

target independent.
Most of the x86 specific stackmap/patchpoint handling was necessitated by the
use of the native address-mode format for frame index operands. PEI has now
been modified to treat stackmap/patchpoint similarly to DEBUG_INFO, allowing
us to use a simple, platform independent register/offset pair for frame
indexes on stackmap/patchpoints.
Notes:
- Folding is now platform independent and automatically supported.
- Emiting patchpoints with direct memory references now just involves calling
the TargetLoweringBase::emitPatchPoint utility method from the target's
XXXTargetLowering::EmitInstrWithCustomInserter method. (See
X86TargetLowering for an example).
- No more ugly platform-specific operand parsers.
This patch shouldn't change the generated output for X86.

I think, in principle, intrinsics_gen may be added explicitly.
That said, it can be added incidentally, since each target already has dependencies to llvm-tblgen.
Almost all source files depend on both CommonTaleGen and intrinsics_gen.
Explicit add_dependencies() have been pruned under lib/Target.

add_public_tablegen_target adds *CommonTableGen to LLVM_COMMON_DEPENDS.
LLVM_COMMON_DEPENDS affects add_llvm_library (and other add_target stuff) within its scope.

Instead of sharing functional unit names between the various PPC itineraries,
give each core its own unit names prefixed with the core name. This follows
the convention used by other backends (such as ARM), and removes a non-obvious
ordering dependency between the various PPCSchedule*.td files.
No functionality change intended.

conditional branches for very large targets. That will be the next small
patch. Everything now should in principle work as good (functionality
wise) as without constant islands so we decided at Mips/Imagination to
make constant islands the default for Mips16 now so that it will get
excercised a lot and this port is still experimentatl though hopefully soon
we will change the status. Some more cleanup and code review is in order
but things are converging fast.

ARanges included even extern variables referenced by pointer non-type
template parameters even though that variable isn't part of this
