This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
A DLS lr, lr instruction only moves lr to itself. It need not be emitted
on it's own to save a instruction in the loop preheader.

This changes the definition of t2DoLoopStart from
t2DoLoopStart rGPR
to
GPRlr = t2DoLoopStart rGPR
This will hopefully mean that low overhead loops are more tied together,
and we can more reliably generate loops without reverting or being at
the whims of the register allocator.
This is a fairly simple change in itself, but leads to a number of other
required alterations.
- The hardware loop pass, if UsePhi is set, now generates loops of the
form:
%start = llvm.start.loop.iterations(%N)
loop:
%p = phi [%start], [%dec]
%dec = llvm.loop.decrement.reg(%p, 1)
%c = icmp ne %dec, 0
br %c, loop, exit
- For this a new llvm.start.loop.iterations intrinsic was added, identical
to llvm.set.loop.iterations but produces a value as seen above, gluing
the loop together more through def-use chains.
- This new instrinsic conceptually produces the same output as input,
which is taught to SCEV so that the checks in MVETailPredication are not
affected.
- Some minor changes are needed to the ARMLowOverheadLoop pass, but it has
been left mostly as before. We should now more reliably be able to tell
that the t2DoLoopStart is correct without having to prove it, but
t2WhileLoopStart and tail-predicated loops will remain the same.
- And all the tests have been updated. There are a lot of them!
This patch on it's own might cause more trouble that it helps, with more
tail-predicated loops being reverted, but some additional patches can
hopefully improve upon that to get to something that is better overall.

Fix the ARM backend's analyzeBranch so it doesn't ignore predicated
return instructions, and make the MachineVerifier rule more strict.

This adds infrastructure to print and parse MIR MachineOperand comments.
The motivation for the ARM backend is to print condition code names instead of
magic constants that are difficult to read (for human beings). For example,
instead of this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0, killed $cpsr
we now print this:
dead renamable $r2, $cpsr = tEOR killed renamable $r2, renamable $r1, 14 /* CC::always */, $noreg
t2Bcc %bb.4, 0 /* CC:eq */, killed $cpsr
This shows that MachineOperand comments are enclosed between /* and */. In this
example, the EOR instruction is not conditionally executed (i.e. it is "always
executed"), which is encoded by the 14 immediate machine operand. Thus, now
this machine operand has /* CC::always */ as a comment. The 0 on the next
conditional branch instruction represents the equal condition code, thus now
this operand has /* CC:eq */ as a comment.
As it is a comment, the MI lexer/parser completely ignores it. The benefit is
that this keeps the change in the lexer extremely minimal and no target
specific parsing needs to be done. The changes on the MIPrinter side are also
minimal, as there is only one target hooks that is used to create the machine
operand comments.

Introduce a method to walk through use-def chains to decide whether
it's possible to remove a given instruction and its users. These
instructions are then stored in a set until the end of the transform
when they're erased. This is now used to perform checks on the
iteration count (LoopDec chain), element count (VCTP chain) and the
possibly redundant iteration count.
As well as being able to remove chains of instructions, we know also
check that the sub feeding the vctp is producing the expected value.

Recommitting e93e0d413f after reverting due to test failures, which
will hopefully now be fixed. Original commit message:
After expanding the pseudo instructions, update the liveness info.
We do this in a post-order traversal of the loop, including its
exit blocks and preheader(s).

Architecturally, it's allowed to have MVE-I without an FPU, thus
-mfpu=none should not disable MVE-I, or moves to/from FP-registers.
This patch removes `+/-fpregs` from features unconditionally added to
target feature list, depending on FPU and moves the logic to Clang
driver, where the negative form (`-fpregs`) is conditionally added to
the target features list for the cases of `-mfloat-abi=soft`, or
`-mfpu=none` without either `+mve` or `+mve.fp`. Only the negative
form is added by the driver, the positive one is derived from other
features in the backend.

After creating a low-overhead loop, the loop update instruction was still
lingering around hurting performance. This removes dead loop update
instructions, which in our case are mostly SUBS instructions.
To support this, some helper functions were added to MachineLoopUtils and
ReachingDefAnalysis to analyse live-ins of loop exit blocks and find uses
before a particular loop instruction, respectively.
This is a first version that removes a SUBS instruction when there are no other
uses inside and outside the loop block, but there are some more interesting
cases in test/CodeGen/Thumb2/LowOverheadLoops/mve-tail-data-types.ll which
shows that there is room for improvement. For example, we can't handle this
case yet:
..
dlstp.32 lr, r2
.LBB0_1:
mov r3, r2
subs r2, #4
vldrh.u32 q2, [r1], #8
vmov q1, q0
vmla.u32 q0, q2, r0
letp lr, .LBB0_1
@ %bb.2:
vctp.32 r3
..
which is a lot more tricky because r2 is not only used by the subs, but also by
the mov to r3, which is used outside the low-overhead loop by the vctp
instruction, and that requires a bit of a different approach, and I will follow
up on this.
