Original message:
Modify the code that lowers shuffles to blends from using blendvXX to vblendXX.
blendV uses a register for the selection while Vblend uses an immediate.
On sandybridge they still have the same latency and execute on the same execution ports.

legalizer always use the DAG entry node. This is wrong when the libcall is
emitted as a tail call since it effectively folds the return node. If
the return node's input chain is not the entry (i.e. call, load, or store)
use that as the tail call input chain.

in TargetLowering. There was already a FIXME about this location being
odd. The interface is simplified as a consequence. This will also make
it easier to change TLS models when compiling with PIE.

Previously we used three instructions to broadcast an immediate value into a
vector register.
On Sandybridge we continue to load the broadcasted value from the constant pool.

This allows us to keep passing reduced masks to SimplifyDemandedBits, but
know about all the bits if SimplifyDemandedBits fails. This allows instcombine
to simplify cases like the one in the included testcase.

Specifically, remove the magic number when checking to see if the copy has a
glue operand and simplify the checking logic.

In this instance we are generating the tail-call during legalizeDAG. The 2nd
floor call can't be a tail call because it clobbers %xmm1, which is defined by
the first floor call. The first floor call can't be a tail-call because it's
not in the tail position. The only reasonable way I could think to fix this
in a target-independent manner was to check for glue logic on the copy reg.

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.

[Joe Groff] Hi everyone. My previous patch applied as r151382 had a few problems:
Clang raised a warning, and X86 LowerOperation would assert out for
fptoui f64 to i32 because it improperly lowered to an illegal
BUILD_PAIR. Here's a patch that addresses these issues. Let me know if
any other changes are necessary. Thanks.

Call instructions no longer have a list of 43 call-clobbered registers.
Instead, they get a single register mask operand with a bit vector of
call-preserved registers.
This saves a lot of memory, 42 x 32 bytes = 1344 bytes per call
instruction, and it speeds up building call instructions because those
43 imp-def operands no longer need to be added to use-def lists. (And
removed and shifted and re-added for every explicit call operand).
Passes like LiveVariables, LiveIntervals, RAGreedy, PEI, and
BranchFolding are significantly faster because they can deal with call
clobbers in bulk.
Overall, clang -O2 is between 0% and 8% faster, uniformly distributed
depending on call density in the compiled code. Debug builds using
clang -O0 are 0% - 3% faster.
I have verified that this patch doesn't change the assembly generated
for the LLVM nightly test suite when building with -disable-copyprop
and -disable-branch-fold.
Branch folding behaves slightly differently in a few cases because call
instructions have different hash values now.
Copy propagation flushes its data structures when it crosses a register
mask operand. This causes it to leave a few dead copies behind, on the
order of 20 instruction across the entire nightly test suite, including
SPEC. Fixing this properly would require the pass to use different data
structures.
