This commit modifies the way the machine basic blocks are serialized - now the
machine basic blocks are serialized using a custom syntax instead of relying on
YAML primitives. Instead of using YAML mappings to represent the individual
machine basic blocks in a machine function's body, the new syntax uses a single
YAML block scalar which contains all of the machine basic blocks and
instructions for that function.
This is an example of a function's body that uses the old syntax:
body:
- id: 0
name: entry
instructions:
- '%eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags'
- 'RETQ %eax'
...
The same body is now written like this:
body: |
bb.0.entry:
%eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags
RETQ %eax
...
This syntax change is motivated by the fact that the bundled machine
instructions didn't map that well to the old syntax which was using a single
YAML sequence to store all of the machine instructions in a block. The bundled
machine instructions internally use flags like BundledPred and BundledSucc to
determine the bundles, and serializing them as MI flags using the old syntax
would have had a negative impact on the readability and the ease of editing
for MIR files. The new syntax allows me to serialize the bundled machine
instructions using a block construct without relying on the internal flags,
for example:
BUNDLE implicit-def dead %itstate, implicit-def %s1 ... {
t2IT 1, 24, implicit-def %itstate
%s1 = VMOVS killed %s0, 1, killed %cpsr, implicit killed %itstate
}
This commit also converts the MIR testcases to the new syntax. I developed
a script that can convert from the old syntax to the new one. I will post the
script on the llvm-commits mailing list in the thread for this commit.

This commit implements the initial serialization of the machine operand target
flags. It extends the 'TargetInstrInfo' class to add two new methods that help
to provide text based serialization for the target flags.
This commit can serialize only the X86 target flags, and the target flags for
the other targets will be serialized in the follow-up commits.

This commit serializes the offset for the following operands: target index,
global address, external symbol, constant pool index, and block address.

This commit extends the machine instruction lexer and implements support for
the quoted global value tokens. With this change the syntax for the global value
identifier tokens becomes identical to the syntax for the global identifier
tokens from the LLVM's assembly language.

This commit modifies the machine instruction lexer so that it now accepts the
'$' characters in identifier tokens.
This change makes the syntax for unquoted global value tokens consistent with
the syntax for the global idenfitier tokens in the LLVM's assembly language.

This commit verifies that the parsed machine instructions contain the implicit
register operands as specified by the MCInstrDesc. Variadic and call
instructions aren't verified.

This commit serializes the global address machine operands.
This commit doesn't serialize the operand's offset and target
flags, it serializes only the global value reference.
