It seems that this no longer causes test suite failures on PPC64 (after r157159),
and often gives a performance benefit, so it can be enabled by default.

to pass around a struct instead of a large set of individual values. This
cleans up the interface and allows more information to be added to the struct
for future targets without requiring changes to each and every target.

The current code will generate a prologue which starts with something like:
mflr 0
stw 31, -4(1)
stw 0, 4(1)
stwu 1, -16(1)
But under the PPC32 SVR4 ABI, access to negative offsets from R1 is not allowed.
This was pointed out by Peter Bergner.

The getPointerRegClass() hook can return register classes that depend on
the calling convention of the current function (ptr_rc_tailcall).
So far, we have been able to infer the calling convention from the
subtarget alone, but as we add support for multiple calling conventions
per target, that no longer works.

The TargetPassManager's default constructor wants to initialize the PassManager
to 'null'. But it's illegal to bind a null reference to a null l-value. Make the
ivar a pointer instead.

on X86 Atom. Some of our tests failed because the tail merging part of
the BranchFolding pass was creating new basic blocks which did not
contain live-in information. When the anti-dependency code in the Post-RA
scheduler ran, it would sometimes rename the register containing
the function return value because the fact that the return value was
live-in to the subsequent block had been lost. To fix this, it is necessary
to run the RegisterScavenging code in the BranchFolding pass.
This patch makes sure that the register scavenging code is invoked
in the X86 subtarget only when post-RA scheduling is being done.
Post RA scheduling in the X86 subtarget is only done for Atom.
This patch adds a new function to the TargetRegisterClass to control
whether or not live-ins should be preserved during branch folding.
This is necessary in order for the anti-dependency optimizations done
during the PostRASchedulerList pass to work properly when doing
Post-RA scheduling for the X86 in general and for the Intel Atom in particular.
The patch adds and invokes the new function trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc()
instead of using the existing requiresRegisterScavenging().
It changes BranchFolding.cpp to call trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc() instead of
requiresRegisterScavenging(). It changes the all the targets that
implemented requiresRegisterScavenging() to also implement
trackLivenessAfterRegAlloc().
It adds an assertion in the Post RA scheduler to make sure that post RA
liveness information is available when it is needed.
It changes the X86 break-anti-dependencies test to use –mcpu=atom, in order
to avoid running into the added assertion.
Finally, this patch restores the use of anti-dependency checking
(which was turned off temporarily for the 3.1 release) for
Intel Atom in the Post RA scheduler.

(load only has one operand) and smuggle in some whitespace changes too
NB: I am obviously testing the water here, and believe that the unguarded
cast is still wrong, but why is the getZExtValue of the load's operand
tested against zero here? Any review is appreciated.

This allows us to keep passing reduced masks to SimplifyDemandedBits, but
know about all the bits if SimplifyDemandedBits fails. This allows instcombine
to simplify cases like the one in the included testcase.

Post-RA scheduling gives a significant performance improvement on
the embedded cores, so turn it on. Using full anti-dep. breaking is
important for FP-intensive blocks, so turn it on (just on the
embedded cores for now; this should also be good on the 970s because
post-ra scheduling is all that we have for now, but that should have
more testing first).

This adds a full itinerary for IBM's PPC64 A2 embedded core. These
cores form the basis for the CPUs in the new IBM BG/Q supercomputer.

Loads and stores can have different pipeline behavior, especially on
embedded chips. This change allows those differences to be expressed.
Except for the 440 scheduler, there are no functionality changes.
On the 440, the latency adjustment is only by one cycle, and so this
probably does not affect much. Nevertheless, it will make a larger
difference in the future and this removes a FIXME from the 440 itin.

Dynamic linking on PPC64 has had problems since we had to move the top-down
hazard-detection logic post-ra. For dynamic linking to work there needs to be
a nop placed after every call. It turns out that it is really hard to guarantee
that nothing will be placed in between the call (bl) and the nop during post-ra
scheduling. Previous attempts at fixing this by placing logic inside the
hazard detector only partially worked.
This is now fixed in a different way: call+nop codegen-only instructions. As far
as CodeGen is concerned the pair is now a single instruction and cannot be split.
This solution works much better than previous attempts.
The scoreboard hazard detector is also renamed to be more generic, there is currently
no cpu-specific logic in it.

The PPC64 SVR4 ABI requires integer stack arguments, and thus the var. args., that
are smaller than 64 bits be zero extended to 64 bits.

the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.

Reverting this because it breaks static linking on ppc64. Specifically, it may be linkonce_odr functions that are the problem.
With this patch, if you link statically, calls to some functions end up calling their descriptor addresses instead
of calling to their entry points. This causes the execution to fail with SIGILL (b/c the descriptor address just
has some pointers, not code).
