The single-constant algorithm produces infinities on a lot of denormal values.
The precision of the two-constant algorithm is actually sufficient across the
range of denormals. We will switch to that algorithm for now to avoid the
infinities on denormals. In the future, we will re-evaluate the algorithm to
find the optimal one for PowerPC.

This patch lays the groundwork for extending the generic machine scheduler by providing a PPC-specific implementation.
There are no functional changes as this is an incremental patch that simply provides the necessary overrides which just
encapsulate the behavior of the generic scheduler. Subsequent patches will add specific behavior.

For the power9 CPU, vector operations consume a pair of execution units rather
than one execution unit like a scalar operation. Update the target transform
cost functions to reflect the higher cost of vector operations when targeting
Power9.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
The Signal Processing Engine (SPE) is found on NXP/Freescale e500v1,
e500v2, and several e200 cores. This adds support targeting the e500v2,
as this is more common than the e500v1, and is in SoCs still on the
market.
This patch is very intrusive because the SPE is binary incompatible with
the traditional FPU. After discussing with others, the cleanest
solution was to make both SPE and FPU features on top of a base PowerPC
subset, so all FPU instructions are now wrapped with HasFPU predicates.
Supported by this are:
* Code generation following the SPE ABI at the LLVM IR level (calling
conventions)
* Single- and Double-precision math at the level supported by the APU.
Still to do:
* Vector operations
* SPE intrinsics
As this changes the Callee-saved register list order, one test, which
tests the precise generated code, was updated to account for the new
register order.

This change enables soft-float for PowerPC64, and also makes soft-float disable
all vector instruction sets for both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. This latter part
is necessary because the PPC backend canonicalizes many Altivec vector types to
floating-point types, and so soft-float breaks scalarization support for many
operations. Both for embedded targets and for operating-system kernels desiring
soft-float support, it seems reasonable that disabling hardware floating-point
also disables vector instructions (embedded targets without hardware floating
point support are unlikely to have Altivec, etc. and operating system kernels
desiring not to use floating-point registers to lower syscall cost are unlikely
to want to use vector registers either). If someone needs this to work, we'll
need to change the fact that we promote many Altivec operations to act on
v4f32. To make it possible to disable Altivec when soft-float is enabled,
hardware floating-point support needs to be expressed as a positive feature,
like the others, and not a negative feature, because target features cannot
have dependencies on the disabling of some other feature. So +soft-float has
now become -hard-float.

Instead of using two feature bits, one to indicate the availability of the
popcnt[dw] instructions, and another to indicate whether or not they're fast,
use a single enum. This allows more consistent control via target attribute
strings, and via Clang's command line.

The A2 cores support the popcntw/popcntd instructions, but they're microcoded,
and slower than our default software emulation. Specifically, popcnt[dw] take
approximately 74 cycles, whereas our software emulation takes only 24-28
cycles.
I've added a new target feature to indicate a slow popcnt[dw], instead of just
removing the existing target feature from the a2/a2q processor models, because:
1. This allows us to return more accurate information via the TTI interface
(I recognize that this currently makes no practical difference)
2. Is hopefully easier to understand (it allows the core's features to match
its manual while still having the desired effect).

Summary:
This is the first patch in the series to migrate Triple's (which are ambiguous)
to TargetTuple's (which aren't).
For the moment, TargetTuple simply passes all requests to the Triple object it
holds. Once it has replaced Triple, it will start to implement the interface in
a more suitable way.
This change makes some changes to the public C++ API. In particular,
InitMCSubtargetInfo(), createMCRelocationInfo(), and createMCSymbolizer()
now take TargetTuples instead of Triples. The other public C++ API's have
been left as-is for the moment to reduce patch size.
This commit also contains a trivial patch to clang to account for the C++ API
change. Thanks go to Pavel Labath for fixing LLDB for me.

This patch adds Hardware Transaction Memory (HTM) support supported by ISA 2.07
(POWER8). The intrinsic support is based on GCC one [1], but currently only the
'PowerPC HTM Low Level Built-in Function' are implemented.
The HTM instructions follows the RC ones and the transaction initiation result
is set on RC0 (with exception of tcheck). Currently approach is to create a
register copy from CR0 to GPR and comapring. Although this is suboptimal, since
the branch could be taken directly by comparing the CR0 value, it generates code
correctly on both test and branch and just return value. A possible future
optimization could be elimitate the MFCR instruction to branch directly.
The HTM usage requires a recently newer kernel with PPC HTM enabled. Tested on
powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This is send along a clang patch to enabled the builtins and option switch.

This adds support for the QPX vector instruction set, which is used by the
enhanced A2 cores on the IBM BG/Q supercomputers. QPX vectors are 256 bytes
wide, holding 4 double-precision floating-point values. Boolean values, modeled
here as <4 x i1> are actually also represented as floating-point values
(essentially { -1, 1 } for { false, true }). QPX shares many features with
Altivec and VSX, but is distinct from both of them. One major difference is
that, instead of adding completely-separate vector registers, QPX vector
registers are extensions of the scalar floating-point registers (lane 0 is the
corresponding scalar floating-point value). The operations supported on QPX
vectors mirrors that supported on the scalar floating-point values (with some
additional ones for permutations and logical/comparison operations).
I've been maintaining this support out-of-tree, as part of the bgclang project,
for several years. This is not the entire bgclang patch set, but is most of the
subset that can be cleanly integrated into LLVM proper at this time. Adding
this to the LLVM backend is part of my efforts to rebase bgclang to the current
LLVM trunk, but is independently useful (especially for codes that use LLVM as
a JIT in library form).
The assembler/disassembler test coverage is complete. The CodeGen test coverage
is not, but I've included some tests, and more will be added as follow-up work.

Patch by Kit Barton.
Add the vector population count instructions for byte, halfword, word,
and doubleword sizes. There are two major changes here:
PPCISelLowering.cpp: Make CTPOP legal for vector types.
PPCRegisterInfo.td: Added v2i64 to the VRRC register
definition. This is needed for the doubleword variations of the
integer ops that were added in P8.
Test Plan
Test the instruction vpcnt* encoding/decoding in ppc64-encoding-vmx.s
Test the generation of the vpopcnt instructions for various vector
data types. When adding the v2i64 type to the Vector Register set, I
also needed to add the appropriate bit conversion patterns between
v2i64 and the existing vector types. Testing for these conversions
were also added in the test case by passing a different vector type as
a parameter into the test functions. There is also a run step that
will ensure the vpopcnt instructions are generated when the vsx
feature is disabled.
