Problem: LLVM needs more function attributes than currently available (32 bits).
One such proposed attribute is "address_safety", which shows that a function is being checked for address safety (by AddressSanitizer, SAFECode, etc).
Solution:
- extend the Attributes from 32 bits to 64-bits
- wrap the object into a class so that unsigned is never erroneously used instead
- change "unsigned" to "Attributes" throughout the code, including one place in clang.
- the class has no "operator uint64 ()", but it has "uint64_t Raw() " to support packing/unpacking.
- the class has "safe operator bool()" to support the common idiom: if (Attributes attr = getAttrs()) useAttrs(attr);
- The CTOR from uint64_t is marked explicit, so I had to add a few explicit CTOR calls
- Add the new attribute "address_safety". Doing it in the same commit to check that attributes beyond first 32 bits actually work.
- Some of the functions from the Attribute namespace are worth moving inside the class, but I'd prefer to have it as a separate commit.
Tested:
"make check" on Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Mac (10.6)
built/run spec CPU 2006 on Linux with clang -O2.
This change will break clang build in lib/CodeGen/CGCall.cpp.
The following patch will fix it.

LSR has gradually been improved to more aggressively reuse existing code, particularly existing phi cycles. This exposed problems with the SCEVExpander's sloppy treatment of its insertion point. I applied some rigor to the insertion point problem that will hopefully avoid an endless bug cycle in this area. Changes:
- Always used properlyDominates to check safe code hoisting.
- The insertion point provided to SCEV is now considered a lower bound. This is usually a block terminator or the use itself. Under no cirumstance may SCEVExpander insert below this point.
- LSR is reponsible for finding a "canonical" insertion point across expansion of different expressions.
- Robust logic to determine whether IV increments are in "expanded" form and/or can be safely hoisted above some insertion point.
Fixes PR11783: SCEVExpander assert.

It's becoming clear that LoopSimplify needs to unconditionally create loop preheaders. But that is a bigger fix. For now, continuing to hack LSR.

1. Size heuristics changed. Now we calculate number of unswitching
branches only once per loop.
2. Some checks was moved from UnswitchIfProfitable to
processCurrentLoop, since it is not changed during processCurrentLoop
iteration. It allows decide to skip some loops at an early stage.
Extended statistics:
- Added total number of instructions analyzed.

with other symbols.
An object in the __cfstring section is suppoed to be filled with CFString
objects, which have a pointer to ___CFConstantStringClassReference followed by a
pointer to a __cstring. If we allow the object in the __cstring section to be
merged with another global, then it could end up in any section. Because the
linker is going to remove these symbols in the final executable, we shouldn't
bother to merge them.

These heuristics are sufficient for enabling IV chains by
default. Performance analysis has been done for i386, x86_64, and
thumbv7. The optimization is rarely important, but can significantly
speed up certain cases by eliminating spill code within the
loop. Unrolled loops are prime candidates for IV chains. In many
cases, the final code could still be improved with more target
specific optimization following LSR. The goal of this feature is for
LSR to make the best choice of induction variables.
Instruction selection may not completely take advantage of this
feature yet. As a result, there could be cases of slight code size
increase.
Code size can be worse on x86 because it doesn't support postincrement
addressing. In fact, when chains are formed, you may see redundant
address plus stride addition in the addressing mode. GenerateIVChains
tries to compensate for the common cases.
On ARM, code size increase can be mitigated by using postincrement
addressing, but downstream codegen currently misses some opportunities.

After collecting chains, check if any should be materialized. If so,
hide the chained IV users from the LSR solver. LSR will only solve for
the head of the chain. GenerateIVChains will then materialize the
chained IV users by computing the IV relative to its previous value in
the chain.
In theory, chained IV users could be exposed to LSR's solver. This
would be considerably complicated to implement and I'm not aware of a
case where we need it. In practice it's more important to
intelligently prune the search space of nontrivial loops before
running the solver, otherwise the solver is often forced to prune the
most optimal solutions. Hiding the chained users does this well, so
that LSR is more likely to find the best IV for the chain as a whole.

This collects a set of IV uses within the loop whose values can be
computed relative to each other in a sequence. Following checkins will
make use of this information.

This will be more important as we extend the LSR pass in ways that don't rely on the formula solver. In particular, we need it for constructing IV chains.

LoopSimplify may not run on some outer loops, e.g. because of indirect
branches. SCEVExpander simply cannot handle outer loops with no preheaders.

present in the bottom of the CFG triangle, as the transformation isn't
ever valuable if the branch can't be eliminated.
Also, unify some heuristics between SimplifyCFG's multiple
if-converters, for consistency.

code can incorrectly move the load across a store. This never
happens in practice today, but only because the current
heuristics accidentally preclude it.
