This rewrites big parts of the fast register allocator. The basic
strategy of doing block-local allocation hasn't changed but I tweaked
several details:
Track register state on register units instead of physical
registers. This simplifies and speeds up handling of register aliases.
Process basic blocks in reverse order: Definitions are known to end
register livetimes when walking backwards (contrary when walking
forward then uses may or may not be a kill so we need heuristics).
Check register mask operands (calls) instead of conservatively
assuming everything is clobbered. Enhance heuristics to detect
killing uses: In case of a small number of defs/uses check if they are
all in the same basic block and if so the last one is a killing use.
Enhance heuristic for copy-coalescing through hinting: We check the
first k defs of a register for COPYs rather than relying on there just
being a single definition. When testing this on the full llvm
test-suite including SPEC externals I measured:
average 5.1% reduction in code size for X86, 4.9% reduction in code on
aarch64. (ranging between 0% and 20% depending on the test) 0.5%
faster compiletime (some analysis suggests the pass is slightly slower
than before, but we more than make up for it because later passes are
faster with the reduced instruction count)
Also adds a few testcases that were broken without this patch, in
particular bug 47278.

Current findBestLoopTop can find and move one kind of block to top, a latch block has one successor. Another common case is:
* a latch block
* it has two successors, one is loop header, another is exit
* it has more than one predecessors
If it is below one of its predecessors P, only P can fall through to it, all other predecessors need a jump to it, and another conditional jump to loop header. If it is moved before loop header, all its predecessors jump to it, then fall through to loop header. So all its predecessors except P can reduce one taken branch.

The 2nd loop calculates spill costs but reports free registers as cost
0 anyway, so there is little benefit from having a separate early
loop.
Surprisingly this is not NFC, as many register are marked regDisabled
so the first loop often picks up later registers unnecessarily instead
of the first one available in the allocation order...

MachineRegisterInfo used to allow just one regalloc hint per virtual
register. This patch extends this to a vector of regalloc hints, which is
filled in by common code with sorted copy hints. Such hints will make for
more ID copies that can be removed.
NB! This improvement is currently (and hopefully temporarily) *disabled* by
default, except for SystemZ. The only reason for this is the big impact this
has on tests, which has unfortunately proven unmanageable. It was a long
while since all the tests were updated and just waiting for review (which
didn't happen), but now targets have to enable this themselves
instead. Several targets could get a head-start by downloading the tests
updates from the Phabricator review. Thanks to those who helped, and sorry
you now have to do this step yourselves.
This should be an improvement generally for any target!
The target may still create its own hint, in which case this has highest
priority and is stored first in the vector. If it has target-type, it will
not be recomputed, as per the previous behaviour.
The temporary hook enableMultipleCopyHints() will be removed as soon as all
targets return true.

The code used llvm basic block predecessors to decided where to insert phi
nodes. Instruction selection can and will liberally insert new machine basic
block predecessors. There is not a guaranteed one-to-one mapping from pred.
llvm basic blocks and machine basic blocks.
Therefore the current approach does not work as it assumes we can mark
predecessor machine basic block as needing a copy, and needs to know the set of
all predecessor machine basic blocks to decide when to insert phis.
Instead of computing the swifterror vregs as we select instructions, propagate
them at the end of instruction selection when the MBB CFG is complete.
When an instruction needs a swifterror vreg and we don't know the value yet,
generate a new vreg and remember this "upward exposed" use, and reconcile this
at the end of instruction selection.
This will only happen if the target supports promoting swifterror parameters to
registers and the swifterror attribute is used.

Summary:
Port rL265480, rL264754, rL265997 and rL266252 to SystemZ, in order to enable the Swift port on the architecture. SwiftSelf and SwiftError are assigned to R10 and R9, respectively, which are normally callee-saved registers. For more information, see:
