the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.

Moving toward a uniform style of pass definition to allow easier target configuration.
Globally declare Pass ID.
Globally declare pass initializer.
Use INITIALIZE_PASS consistently.
Add a call to the initializer from CodeGen.cpp.
Remove redundant "createPass" functions and "getPassName" methods.
While cleaning up declarations, cleaned up comments (sorry for large diff).

Creating the isPredicated TSFlag enables the code
to use the property defined in the instruction format
instead of using a large switch statement.

Passes prior to instructon selection are now split into separate configurable stages.
Header dependencies are simplified.
The bulk of this diff is simply removal of the silly DisableVerify flags.
Sorry for the target header churn. Attempting to stabilize them.

Allows command line overrides to be centralized in LLVMTargetMachine.cpp.
LLVMTargetMachine can intercept common passes and give precedence to command line overrides.
Allows adding "internal" target configuration options without touching TargetOptions.
Encapsulates the PassManager.
Provides a good point to initialize all CodeGen passes so that Pass ID's can be used in APIs.
Allows modifying the target configuration hooks without rebuilding the world.

This new scheduler plugs into the existing selection DAG scheduling framework. It is a top-down critical path scheduler that tracks register pressure and uses a DFA for pipeline modeling.

When set, this bit indicates that a register is completely defined by
the value of its sub-registers.
Use the CoveredBySubRegs property to infer which super-registers are
call-preserved given a list of callee-saved registers. For example, the
ARM registers D8-D15 are callee-saved. This now automatically implies
that Q4-Q7 are call-preserved.
Conversely, Win64 callees save XMM6-XMM15, but the corresponding
YMM6-YMM15 registers are not call-preserved because they are not fully
defined by their sub-registers.

undefined result. This adds new ISD nodes for the new semantics,
selecting them when the LLVM intrinsic indicates that the undef behavior
is desired. The new nodes expand trivially to the old nodes, so targets
don't actually need to do anything to support these new nodes besides
indicating that they should be expanded. I've done this for all the
operand types that I could figure out for all the targets. Owners of
various targets, please review and let me know if any of these are
incorrect.
Note that the expand behavior is *conservatively correct*, and exactly
matches LLVM's current behavior with these operations. Ideally this
patch will not change behavior in any way. For example the regtest suite
finds the exact same instruction sequences coming out of the code
generator. That's why there are no new tests here -- all of this is
being exercised by the existing test suite.
Thanks to Duncan Sands for reviewing the various bits of this patch and
helping me get the wrinkles ironed out with expanding for each target.
Also thanks to Chris for clarifying through all the discussions that
this is indeed the approach he was looking for. That said, there are
likely still rough spots. Further review much appreciated.
