So far, support for x86_64-linux-gnux32 has been handled by explicit
comparisons of Triple.getEnvironment() to GNUX32. This worked as long as
x86_64-linux-gnux32 was the only X32 environment to worry about, but we
now have x86_64-linux-muslx32 as well. To support this, this change adds
an isX32() function and uses it. It replaces all checks for GNUX32 or
MuslX32 by isX32(), except for the following:
- Triple::isGNUEnvironment() and Triple::isMusl() are supposed to treat
GNUX32 and MuslX32 differently.
- computeTargetTriple() needs to be able to transform triples to add or
remove X32 from the environment and needs to map GNU to GNUX32, and
Musl to MuslX32.
- getMultiarchTriple() completely lacks any Musl support and retains the
explicit check for GNUX32 as it can only return x86_64-linux-gnux32.

This adds support to the X86 backend for the newly committed swiftasync
function parameter. If such a (pointer) parameter is present it gets stored
into an augmented frame record (populated in IR, but generally containing
enhanced backtrace for coroutines using lots of tail calls back and forth).
The context frame is identical to AArch64 (primarily so that unwinders etc
don't get extra complexity). Specfically, the new frame record is [AsyncCtx,
%rbp, ReturnAddr], and its presence is signalled by bit 60 of the stored %rbp
being set to 1. %rbp still points to the frame pointer in memory for backwards
compatibility (only partial on x86, but OTOH the weird AsyncCtx before the rest
of the record is because of x86).
Recommited with a fix for unwind info when i386 pc-rel thunks are

In 16-bit mode, some of the nop patterns used in 32-bit mode can end up
mangling other instructions. For instance, an aligned "movz" instruction
may have the 0x66 and 0x67 prefixes omitted, because the nop that's used
messes things up.
xorl %ebx, %ebx
.p2align 4, 0x90
movzbl (%esi,%ebx), %ecx
Use instead nop patterns we know 16-bit mode can handle.

Fix PR48742: the D75203 assembler optimization locates MCRelaxableFragment's
within two MCSymbol's and relaxes some MCRelaxableFragment's to reduce the size
of a MCAlignFragment. A -g build has more MCSymbol's and therefore may have
different assembler output (e.g. a MCRelaxableFragment (jmp) may have 5 bytes
with -O1 while 2 bytes with -O1 -g).
`.p2align 4, 0x90` is common due to loops. For a larger program, with a
lot of temporary labels, the assembly output difference is somewhat
destined. The cost seems to overweigh the benefits so we default to
-x86-pad-for-align=false until the heuristic is improved.

Summary:
Before this patch, `relaxInstruction` takes three arguments, the first
argument refers to the instruction before relaxation and the third
argument is the output instruction after relaxation. There are two quite
strange things:
1) The first argument's type is `const MCInst &`, the third
argument's type is `MCInst &`, but they may be aliased to the same
variable
2) The backends of ARM, AMDGPU, RISC-V, Hexagon assume that the third
argument is a fresh uninitialized `MCInst` even if `relaxInstruction`
may be called like `relaxInstruction(Relaxed, STI, Relaxed)` in a
loop.
In this patch, we drop the thrid argument, and let `relaxInstruction`
directly modify the given instruction. Also, this patch fixes the bug https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45580, which is introduced by D77851, and
breaks the assumption of ARM, AMDGPU, RISC-V, Hexagon.

Summary:
Since D75300 has been landed, I want to support enhanced relaxation when we need to align branches and allow prefix padding. "Enhanced Relaxtion" means we allow an instruction that could not be traditionally relaxed to be emitted into RelaxableFragment so that we increase its length by adding prefixes for optimization.
The motivation is straightforward, RelaxFragment is mostly for relative jumps and we can not increase the length of jumps when we need to align them, so if we need to achieve D75300's purpose (reducing the bytes of nops) when need to align jumps, we have to make more instructions "relaxable".

alignBranches is X86 specific, change the name in a
more general one since other target can do some state
chang before and after emitting the instruction.
Now that D75203 has landed and baked for a few days, extend the basic approach to prefix padding as well. The patch itself is fairly straight forward.
For the moment, this patch adds the functional support and some basic testing there of, but defaults to not enabling prefix padding. I want to be able to phrase a separate patch which adds the target specific reasoning and test it cleanly. I haven't decided whether I want to common it with the nop logic or not.

Lets us remove another SLM proc family flag usage.
This is NFC, but we should probably check whether atom/glm/knl? should be using this flag as well...
Summary:
Currently, a BoundaryAlign fragment may be inserted after the branch
that needs to be aligned to truncate the current fragment, this fragment is
unused at most of time. To avoid that, we can insert a new empty Data
fragment instead. Non-relaxable instruction is usually emitted into Data
fragment, so the inserted empty Data fragment will be reused at a high
possibility.

If we have an explicit align directive, we currently default to emitting nops to fill the space. As discussed in the context of the prefix padding work for branch alignment (D72225), we're allowed to play other tricks such as extending the size of previous instructions instead.
This patch will convert near jumps to far jumps if doing so decreases the number of bytes of nops needed for a following align. It does so as a post-pass after relaxation is complete. It intentionally works without moving any labels or doing anything which might require another round of relaxation.
The point of this patch is mainly to mock out the approach. The optimization implemented is real, and possibly useful, but the main point is to demonstrate an approach for implementing such "pad previous instruction" approaches. The key notion in this patch is to treat padding previous instructions as an optional optimization, not as a core part of relaxation. The benefit to this is that we avoid the potential concern about increasing the distance between two labels and thus causing further potentially non-local code grown due to relaxation. The downside is that we may miss some opportunities to avoid nops.
For the moment, this patch only implements a small set of existing relaxations.. Assuming the approach is satisfactory, I plan to extend this to a broader set of instructions where there are obvious "relaxations" which are roughly performance equivalent.
Note that this patch *doesn't* change which instructions are relaxable. We may wish to explore that separately to increase optimization opportunity, but I figured that deserved it's own separate discussion.
There are possible downsides to this optimization (and all "pad previous instruction" variants). The major two are potentially increasing instruction fetch and perturbing uop caching. (i.e. the usual alignment risks) Specifically:
* If we pad an instruction such that it crosses a fetch window (16 bytes on modern X86-64), we may cause the decoder to have to trigger a fetch it wouldn't have otherwise. This can effect both decode speed, and icache pressure.
* Intel's uop caching have particular restrictions on instruction combinations which can fit in a particular way. By moving around instructions, we can both cause misses an change misses into hits. Many of the most painful cases are around branch density, so I don't expect this to be too bad on the whole.
On the whole, I expect to see small swings (i.e. the typical alignment change problem), but nothing major or systematic in either direction.

X86 has several instructions which are documented as enabling interrupts exactly one instruction *after* the one which changes the SS segment register. Inserting a nop between these two instructions allows an interrupt to arrive before the execution of the following instruction which changes semantic behaviour.
The list of instructions is documented in "Table 24-3. Format of Interruptibility State" in Volume 3c of the Intel manual. They basically all come down to different ways to write to the SS register.

The commit https://reviews.llvm.org/rG14fc20ca6 added some options to the X86
back end that cause the help text for opt/llc to become much harder to read.
The issue is that the cl::value_desc is part of the option name and is used to
compute the indentation of the description text (i.e. the maximum length option
name is what everything aligns to). Since the commit puts a large number of
characters into that text, everything is aligned to that width.
This patch just reformats the option so that the description is contained in the
description and the list of possible values is within the angle brackets.
Note: the readability issue of the helptext was fixed in commit
70cbf8c71c, but the re-formatting wasn't
added on that commit so I am still committing this.

Long `cl::value_desc()` is added right after the flag name,

Summary:
This is a follow up on https://reviews.llvm.org/D71473#inline-647262.
There's a caveat here that `Align(1)` relies on the compiler understanding of `Log2_64` implementation to produce good code. One could use `Align()` as a replacement but I believe it is less clear that the alignment is one in that case.

This flag was originally part of D70157, but was removed as we carved away pieces of the review. Since we have the nop support checked in, and it appears mature(*), I think it's time to add the master flag. For now, it will default to nop padding, but once the prefix padding support lands, we'll update the defaults.
(*) I can now confirm that downstream testing of the changes which have landed to date - nop padding and compiler support for suppressions - is passing all of the functional testing we've thrown at it. There might still be something lurking, but we've gotten enough coverage to be confident of the basic approach.
Note that the new flag can be used either when assembling an .s file, or when using the integrated assembler directly from the compiler. The later will use all of the suppression mechanism and should always generate correct code. We don't yet have assembly syntax for the suppressions, so passing this directly to the assembler w/a raw .s file may result in broken code. Use at your own risk.
Also note that this isn't the wiring for the clang option. I think the most recent review for that is D72227, but I've lost track, so that might be off.
