In the case of no tied variables, we pick random defs, and then random uses that don't alias with defs we just picked.
Sounds good, except that an X86 instruction may have implicit reg uses,
e.g. for `MULX` it's `EDX`/`RDX`: `Intel SDM, 4-162 Vol. 2B MULX — Unsigned Multiply Without Affecting Flags`
> Performs an unsigned multiplication of the implicit source operand (EDX/RDX) and the specified source operand
> (the third operand) and stores the low half of the result in the second destination (second operand), the high half
> of the result in the first destination operand (first operand), without reading or writing the arithmetic flags.
And indeed, every once in a while `llvm-exegesis` happened to pick EDX as a def while measuring throughput,
and producing garbage output:

These tests access private symbols in the backends, so they cannot link
against libLLVM.so and must be statically linked. Linking these tests
can be slow and with debug builds the resulting binaries use a lot of
disk space.
By merging them into a single test binary means we now only need to
statically link 1 test instead of 6, which helps reduce the build
times and saves disk space.

I really needed this, like, factually, yesterday,

Consider the following example:
```

Check generated assembly with: /usr/bin/objdump -d /tmp/snippet-4a7e50.o

...
```
What does it tell us?
So wait, it can only execute ~3 x86 AVX YMM PXOR zero-idioms per cycle?
That doesn't seem right. That's even less than there are pipes supporting this type of op.
Now, second example:
```
$ ./bin/llvm-exegesis --mode=inverse_throughput --snippets-file=/tmp/snippet.s --num-repetitions=1000000 --repetition-mode=loop
Check generated assembly with: /usr/bin/objdump -d /tmp/snippet-2418b5.o

num_repetitions: 1000000
measurements:
- { key: inverse_throughput, value: 1.00011, per_snippet_value: 1.00011 }
error: ''
info: ''
assembled_snippet: 49B80800000000000000C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC04983C0FF75F2C3
...
```
Now that's just worse. Due to the looping, the throughput completely plummeted,
and now we can only do a single instruction/cycle!?
That's not great.
And final example:
```
$ ./bin/llvm-exegesis --mode=inverse_throughput --snippets-file=/tmp/snippet.s --num-repetitions=1000000 --repetition-mode=loop --loop-body-size=1000
Check generated assembly with: /usr/bin/objdump -d /tmp/snippet-c402e2.o
---
mode: inverse_throughput
key:
instructions:
- 'VPXORYrr YMM0 YMM0 YMM0'
config: ''
register_initial_values: []
cpu_name: znver3
llvm_triple: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
num_repetitions: 1000000
measurements:
- { key: inverse_throughput, value: 0.167087, per_snippet_value: 0.167087 }
error: ''
info: ''
assembled_snippet: 49B80800000000000000C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC04983C0FF75F2C3
...
```
So if we merge the previous two approaches, do duplicate this single-instruction snippet 1000x
(loop-body-size/instruction count in snippet), and run a loop with 1000 iterations
over that duplicated/unrolled snippet, the measured throughput goes through the roof,
up to 5.9 instructions/cycle, which finally tells us that this idiom is zero-cycle!

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D83228
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.

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:
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.
