Craig Topper c7a0b2684f [X86][MC][Target] Initial backend support a tune CPU to support -mtune
This patch implements initial backend support for a -mtune CPU controlled by a "tune-cpu" function attribute. If the attribute is not present X86 will use the resolved CPU from target-cpu attribute or command line.

This patch adds MC layer support a tune CPU. Each CPU now has two sets of features stored in their GenSubtargetInfo.inc tables . These features lists are passed separately to the Processor and ProcessorModel classes in tablegen. The tune list defaults to an empty list to avoid changes to non-X86. This annoyingly increases the size of static tables on all target as we now store 24 more bytes per CPU. I haven't quantified the overall impact, but I can if we're concerned.

One new test is added to X86 to show a few tuning features with mismatched tune-cpu and target-cpu/target-feature attributes to demonstrate independent control. Another new test is added to demonstrate that the scheduler model follows the tune CPU.

I have not added a -mtune to llc/opt or MC layer command line yet. With no attributes we'll just use the -mcpu for both. MC layer tools will always follow the normal CPU for tuning.

Sebastian Neubauer 2a6c871596 [InstCombine] Move target-specific inst combining
For a long time, the InstCombine pass handled target specific
intrinsics. Having target specific code in general passes was noted as
an area for improvement for a long time.

D81728 moves most target specific code out of the InstCombine pass.
Applying the target specific combinations in an extra pass would
probably result in inferior optimizations compared to the current
fixed-point iteration, therefore the InstCombine pass resorts to newly
introduced functions in the TargetTransformInfo when it encounters
unknown intrinsics.
The patch should not have any effect on generated code (under the
assumption that code never uses intrinsics from a foreign target).

This introduces three new functions:
TargetTransformInfo::instCombineIntrinsic
TargetTransformInfo::simplifyDemandedUseBitsIntrinsic
TargetTransformInfo::simplifyDemandedVectorEltsIntrinsic

A few target specific parts are left in the InstCombine folder, where
it makes sense to share code. The largest left-over part in
InstCombineCalls.cpp is the code shared between arm and aarch64.

This allows to move about 3000 lines out from InstCombine to the targets.

stozer 539381da26 [DebugInfo] Update MachineInstr to help support variadic DBG_VALUE instructions
Following on from this RFC[0] from a while back, this is the first patch towards
implementing variadic debug values.

This patch specifically adds a set of functions to MachineInstr for performing
operations specific to debug values, and replacing uses of the more general
functions where appropriate. The most prevalent of these is replacing
getOperand(0) with getDebugOperand(0) for debug-value-specific code, as the
operands corresponding to values will no longer be at index 0, but index 2 and
upwards: getDebugOperand(x) == getOperand(x+2). Similar replacements have been
added for the other operands, along with some helper functions to replace
oft-repeated code and operate on a variable number of value operands.

Eli Friedman accc6b5545 LoadInst should store Align, not MaybeAlign.
The fact that loads and stores can have the alignment missing is a
constant source of confusion: code that usually works can break down in
rare cases.  So fix the LoadInst API so the alignment is never missing.

To reduce the number of changes required to make this work, IRBuilder
and certain LoadInst constructors will grab the module's datalayout and
compute the alignment automatically.  This is the same alignment
instcombine would eventually apply anyway; we're just doing it earlier.
There's a minor risk that the way we're retrieving the datalayout
could break out-of-tree code, but I don't think that's likely.

This is the last in a series of patches, so most of the necessary
changes have already been merged.

Target-independent: add a method getDwarfFrameBase to TargetFrameLowering. It

a DW_OP_WASM_location descriptr.

has run.  Make WebAssemblyExplicitLocals store the local it allocates for the
frame register. Use this local information to implement getDwarfFrameBase

The result is that the DW_AT_frame_base attribute is correctly encoded for each
subprogram, and each param and local variable has a correct DW_AT_location that
uses DW_OP_fbreg to refer to the frame base.

Matt Arsenault a4451d88ee Consolidate internal denormal flushing controls
Currently there are 4 different mechanisms for controlling denormal
flushing behavior, and about as many equivalent frontend controls.

- AMDGPU uses the fp32-denormals and fp64-f16-denormals subtarget features
- NVPTX uses the nvptx-f32ftz attribute
- ARM directly uses the denormal-fp-math attribute
- Other targets indirectly use denormal-fp-math in one DAGCombine
- cl-denorms-are-zero has a corresponding denorms-are-zero attribute

AMDGPU wants a distinct control for f32 flushing from f16/f64, and as
far as I can tell the same is true for NVPTX (based on the attribute
name).

Work on consolidating these into the denormal-fp-math attribute, and a
new type specific denormal-fp-math-f32 variant. Only ARM seems to
support the two different flush modes, so this is overkill for the
other use cases. Ideally we would error on the unsupported
positive-zero mode on other targets from somewhere.

Move the logic for selecting the flush mode into the compiler driver,
instead of handling it in cc1. denormal-fp-math/denormal-fp-math-f32
are now both cc1 flags, but denormal-fp-math-f32 is not yet exposed as
a user flag.

-cl-denorms-are-zero, -fcuda-flush-denormals-to-zero and
-fno-cuda-flush-denormals-to-zero will be mapped to
-fp-denormal-math-f32=ieee or preserve-sign rather than the old
attributes.

Stop emitting the denorms-are-zero attribute for the OpenCL flag. It
has no in-tree users. The meaning would also be target dependent, such
as the AMDGPU choice to treat this as only meaning allow flushing of
f32 and not f16 or f64. The naming is also potentially confusing,
since DAZ in other contexts refers to instructions implicitly treating
input denormals as zero, not necessarily flushing output denormals to
zero.

This also does not attempt to change the behavior for the current
attribute. The LangRef now states that the default is ieee behavior,
but this is inaccurate for the current implementation. The clang
handling is slightly hacky to avoid touching the existing
denormal-fp-math uses. Fixing this will be left for a future patch.

AMDGPU is still using the subtarget feature to control the denormal
mode, but the new attribute are now emitted. A future change will
switch this and remove the subtarget features.

Tom Stellard 0dbcb36394 CMake: Make most target symbols hidden by default
Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.

A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.

This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%.  This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so

One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.

Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
26278
