Summary:
Currently, we only have nice exploration for LEA instruction,
while for the rest, we rely on `randomizeUnsetVariables()`
to sometimes generate something interesting.
While that works, it isn't very reliable in coverage :)
Here, i'm making an assumption that while we may want to explore
multi-instruction configs, we are most interested in the
characteristics of the main instruction we were asked about.
Which we can do, by taking the existing `randomizeMCOperand()`,
and turning it on it's head - instead of relying on it to randomly fill
one of the interesting values, let's pregenerate all the possible interesting
values for the variable, and then generate as much `InstructionTemplate`
combinations of these possible values for variables as needed/possible.
Of course, that requires invasive changes to no longer pass just the
naked `Instruction`, but sometimes partially filled `InstructionTemplate`.
As it can be seen from the test, this allows us to explore
`X86::OperandType::OPERAND_COND_CODE` for instructions
that take such an operand.
I'm hoping this will greatly simplify exploration.

The addition of `inverse_throughput` mode highlighted the disjointedness
of snippet generators and benchmark runners because it used the
`UopsSnippetGenerator` with the `LatencyBenchmarkRunner`.
To keep the code consistent tie the snippet generators to
parallelization/serialization rather than their benchmark runners.
Renaming `LatencySnippetGenerator` -> `SerialSnippetGenerator`.
Renaming `UopsSnippetGenerator` -> `ParallelSnippetGenerator`.

llvm-svn: 374054
Summary:
Before this change the Executable function was made by duplicating the
snippet. This change adds a --repetion-mode={loop|duplicate} flag that
allows choosing between this behaviour and wrapping the snippet instructions
in a loop.
The new mode can help measurements when the snippet fits in the DSB by
short-cirtcuiting decoding. The loop adds a dec + jmp to the measurements, but
since these are not part of the critical path, they execute in parallel
with the measured code and do not impact measurements in practice.
Overview of the change:
- New SnippetRepetitor abstraction that handles repeating the snippet.
The assembler delegates repeating the instructions to this class.
- ExegesisTarget learns how to decrement loop counter and jump.
- Some refactoring of the assembler into FunctionFiller/BasicBlockFiller.

Summary:
Right now latency generation can incorrectly select the scratch register
as a dependency-carrying register.
- Move the logic for preventing register selection from Uops
implementation to common SnippetGenerator class.
- Aliasing detection now takes a set of forbidden registers just like
random register assignment does.

Summary:
Reorder the condition code enum to match their encodings. Move it to MC layer so it can be used by the scheduler models.
This avoids needing an isel pattern for each condition code. And it removes
translation switches for converting between CMOV instructions and condition
codes.
Now the printer, encoder and disassembler take care of converting the immediate.
We use InstAliases to handle the assembly matching. But we print using the
asm string in the instruction definition. The instruction itself is marked
IsCodeGenOnly=1 to hide it from the assembly parser.
This does complicate the scheduler models a little since we can't assign the
A and BE instructions to a separate class now.
I plan to make similar changes for SETcc and Jcc.

to reflect the new license.
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: LatencyGenerator now computes all possible mode of serial execution for an Instruction upfront and generates CodeTemplate for the ones that give the best results (e.g. no need to generate a two instructions snippet when repeating a single one would do). The next step is to generate even more configurations for cases (e.g. for XOR we should generate "XOR EAX, EAX, EAX" and "XOR EAX, EAX, EBX")
