Adds ARMBankConflictHazardRecognizer. This hazard recognizer
looks for a few situations where the same base pointer is used and
then checks whether the offsets lead to a bank conflict. Two
parameters are also added to permit overriding of the target
assumptions:
arm-data-bank-mask=<int> - Mask of bits which are to be checked for
conflicts. If all these bits are equal in the offsets, there is a
conflict.
arm-assume-itcm-bankconflict=<bool> - Assume that there will be bank
conflicts on any loads to a constant pool.
This hazard recognizer is enabled for Cortex-M7, where the Technical
Reference Manual states that there are two DTCM banks banked using bit
2 and one ITCM bank.

To make sure that no barrier gets placed on the architectural execution
path, each indirect call calling the function in register rN, it gets
transformed to a direct call to __llvm_slsblr_thunk_mode_rN. mode is
either arm or thumb, depending on the mode of where the indirect call
happens.
The llvm_slsblr_thunk_mode_rN thunk contains:
bx rN
<speculation barrier>
Therefore, the indirect call gets split into 2; one direct call and one
indirect jump.
This transformation results in not inserting a speculation barrier on
the architectural execution path.
The mitigation is off by default and can be enabled by the
harden-sls-blr subtarget feature.
As a linker is allowed to clobber r12 on function calls, the
above code transformation is not correct in case a linker does so.
Similarly, the transformation is not correct when register lr is used.
Avoiding r12/lr being used is done in a follow-on patch to make
reviewing this code easier.

Some processors may speculatively execute the instructions immediately
following indirect control flow, such as returns, indirect jumps and
indirect function calls.
To avoid a potential miss-speculatively executed gadget after these
instructions leaking secrets through side channels, this pass places a
speculation barrier immediately after every indirect control flow where
control flow doesn't return to the next instruction, such as returns and
indirect jumps, but not indirect function calls.
Hardening of indirect function calls will be done in a later,
independent patch.
This patch is implementing the same functionality as the AArch64 counter
part implemented in https://reviews.llvm.org/D81400.
For AArch64, returns and indirect jumps only occur on RET and BR
instructions and hence the function attribute to control the hardening
is called "harden-sls-retbr" there. On AArch32, there is a much wider
variety of instructions that can trigger an indirect unconditional
control flow change. I've decided to stick with the name
"harden-sls-retbr" as introduced for the corresponding AArch64
mitigation.
This patch implements this for ARM mode. A future patch will extend this
to also support Thumb mode.
The inserted barriers are never on the correct, architectural execution
path, and therefore performance overhead of this is expected to be low.
To ensure these barriers are never on an architecturally executed path,
when the harden-sls-retbr function attribute is present, indirect
control flow is never conditionalized/predicated.
On targets that implement that Armv8.0-SB Speculation Barrier extension,
a single SB instruction is emitted that acts as a speculation barrier.
On other targets, a DSB SYS followed by a ISB is emitted to act as a
speculation barrier.
These speculation barriers are implemented as pseudo instructions to
avoid later passes to analyze them and potentially remove them.
The mitigation is off by default and can be enabled by the
harden-sls-retbr subtarget feature.

Summary:
This patch adds assembly-level support for a new Arm M-profile
architecture extension, Custom Datapath Extension (CDE).
A brief description of the extension is available at
https://developer.arm.com/architectures/instruction-sets/custom-instructions
The latest specification for CDE is currently a beta release and is
available at
https://static.docs.arm.com/ddi0607/aa/DDI0607A_a_armv8m_arm_supplement_cde.pdf
CDE allows chip vendors to add custom CPU instructions. The CDE
instructions re-use the same encoding space as existing coprocessor
instructions (such as MRC, MCR, CDP etc.). Each coprocessor in range
cp0-cp7 can be configured as either general purpose (GCP) or custom
datapath (CDEv1). This configuration is defined by the CPU vendor and
is provided to LLVM using 8 subtarget features: cdecp0 ... cdecp7.
The semantics of CDE instructions are implementation-defined, but the
instructions are guaranteed to be pure (that is, they are stateless,
they do not access memory or any registers except their explicit
inputs/outputs).
CDE requires the CPU to support at least Armv8.0-M mainline
architecture. CDE includes 3 sets of instructions:
* Instructions that operate on general purpose registers and NZCV
flags
* Instructions that operate on the S or D register file (require
either FP or MVE extension)
* Instructions that operate on the Q register file, require MVE
The user-facing names that can be specified on the command line are
the same as the 8 subtarget feature names. For example:
$ clang -target arm-none-none-eabi -march=armv8m.main+cdecp0+cdecp3
tells the compiler that the coprocessors 0 and 3 are configured as
CDEv1 and the remaining coprocessors are configured as GCP (which is
the default).

r361845 changed the way we handle "D16" vs. "D32" targets; there used to
be a negative "d16" which removed instructions from the instruction set,
and now there's a "d32" feature which adds instructions to the
instruction set. This is good, but there was an oversight in the
implementation: the behavior of VFPv2 was changed. In particular, the
"vfp2" feature was changed to imply "d32". This is wrong: VFPv2 only
supports 16 D registers.
In practice, this means if you specify -mfpu=vfpv2, the compiler will
generate illegal instructions.
This patch gets rid of "vfp2d16" and "vfp2d16sp", and fixes "vfp2" and
"vfp2sp" so they don't imply "d32".

- `MachineBlockPlacement` exposes two flags (`align-all-blocks` and `align-all-nofallthru-blocks`) supposedly interpreted as power of two alignments, internally these values are interpreted as log2(align). This patch updates the documentation,
- `MachineFunctionexposes` exposes `align-all-functions` also interpreted as power of two alignment, internally this value is interpreted as log2(align). This patch updates the documentation,

The MVE architecture has the idea of "beats", where a vector instruction can be
executed over several ticks of the architecture. This adds a similar system
into the Arm backend cost model, multiplying the cost of all vector
instructions by a factor.
This factor essentially becomes the expected difference between scalar code
and vector code, on average. MVE Vector instructions can also overlap so the a
true cost of them is often lower. But equally scalar instructions can in some
situations be dual issued, or have other optimisations such as unrolling or
make use of dsp instructions. The default is chosen as 2. This should not
prevent vectorisation is a most cases (as the vector instructions will still be
doing at least 4 times the work), but it will help prevent over vectorising in
cases where the benefits are less likely.
This adds things so far to the obvious places in ARMTargetTransformInfo, and
updates a few related costs like not treating float instructions as cost 2 just
because they are floats.

To support this, we also add a register name 'zr' (used by the CSEL
family to force one of the inputs to the constant 0), and operand
types for lists of registers that are also allowed to include APSR or
VPR (used by CLRM). The VLDR/VSTR instructions also need a new

Those two subtarget features were awkward because their semantics are
reversed: each one indicates the _lack_ of support for something in
the architecture, rather than the presence. As a consequence, you
don't get the behavior you want if you combine two sets of feature
bits.
Each SubtargetFeature for an FP architecture version now comes in four
versions, one for each combination of those options. So you can still
say (for example) '+vfp2' in a feature string and it will mean what
it's always meant, but there's a new string '+vfp2d16sp' meaning the
version without those extra options.
A lot of this change is just mechanically replacing positive checks
for the old features with negative checks for the new ones. But one
more interesting change is that I've rearranged getFPUFeatures() so
that the main FPU feature is appended to the output list *before*
rather than after the features derived from the Restriction field, so
that -fp64 and -d32 can override defaults added by the main feature.
