The addition of TILELOADD instructions with a new encoding format
triggered a hard abort instead of proper error reporting due to the use
of `llvm_unreachable` for actually reachable code.
Properly report an error when the encoding format is unknown.

`llvm/test/tools/llvm-exegesis/X86/lbr/mov-add.s` failed on hosts

`perf_event_open` fails with `EOPNOTSUPP` on LBR config. That change's

could not stand as `perf_event_open` system call will fail if the
underlying hardware really don't have LBR supported.

Starting with Skylake, the LBR contains the precise number of cycles between the two
consecutive branches.
Making use of this will hopefully make the measurements more precise than the
existing methods of using RDTSC.

New change: check for existence of field `cycles` in perf_branch_entry before enabling this mode.
This should prevent compilation errors when building for older kernel whose headers don't support it.
From @erichkeane:
```
This patch doesn't seem to build for me:
/iusers/ekeane1/workspaces/llvm-project/llvm/tools/llvm-exegesis/lib/X86/X86Counter.cpp: In function ‘llvm::Error llvm::exegesis::parseDataBuffer(const char*, size_t, const void*, const void*, llvm::SmallVector<long int, 4>*)’:

I'm on RHEL7, so I have kernel 3.10, so it doesn't have 'cycles'.
According ot this: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.3/source/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h#L963 kernel 4.3 is the first time that 'cycles' appeared in this structure.

These are documented as using modrm byte of 0xe8, 0xf0, and 0xf8
respectively. But hardware ignore bits 2:0. So 0xe9-0xef is treated
the same as 0xe8. Similar for the other two.
Fixing this required adding 8 new formats to the X86 instructions
to convey this information. Could have gotten away with 3, but
adding all 8 made for a more logical conversion from format to
modrm encoding.
I renumbered the format encodings to keep the register modrm
formats grouped together.
isPrefix was added to support the patches to align branches.
it relies on a switch over instruction names.
This moves those opcodes to a new format so the information is
tablegen and we can just check for a specific value in some bits
in TSFlags instead.
I've left the other function in place for now so that the
existing patches in phabricator will still work. I'll work with
the owner to get them migrated.
function_ref is non-owning, so if we get it as a parameter in constructor,
our reference goes out-of-scope as soon as constructor returns.
Instead, let's just take it as a parameter to the actual `generate()` call
Summary:
Currently, we only have nice exploration for LEA instruction,
while for the rest, we rely on `randomizeUnsetVariables()`
to sometimes generate something interesting.
While that works, it isn't very reliable in coverage :)
Here, i'm making an assumption that while we may want to explore
multi-instruction configs, we are most interested in the
characteristics of the main instruction we were asked about.
Which we can do, by taking the existing `randomizeMCOperand()`,
and turning it on it's head - instead of relying on it to randomly fill
one of the interesting values, let's pregenerate all the possible interesting
values for the variable, and then generate as much `InstructionTemplate`
combinations of these possible values for variables as needed/possible.
Of course, that requires invasive changes to no longer pass just the
naked `Instruction`, but sometimes partially filled `InstructionTemplate`.
As it can be seen from the test, this allows us to explore
`X86::OperandType::OPERAND_COND_CODE` for instructions
that take such an operand.
I'm hoping this will greatly simplify exploration.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D68642
llvm-svn: 374054
Summary:
Before this change the Executable function was made by duplicating the
snippet. This change adds a --repetion-mode={loop|duplicate} flag that
allows choosing between this behaviour and wrapping the snippet instructions
in a loop.
The new mode can help measurements when the snippet fits in the DSB by
short-cirtcuiting decoding. The loop adds a dec + jmp to the measurements, but
since these are not part of the critical path, they execute in parallel
with the measured code and do not impact measurements in practice.
Overview of the change:
- New SnippetRepetitor abstraction that handles repeating the snippet.
The assembler delegates repeating the instructions to this class.
- ExegesisTarget learns how to decrement loop counter and jump.
- Some refactoring of the assembler into FunctionFiller/BasicBlockFiller.

This at least allows to not crash on the opcode.
However, this still won't generate all the snippets
with all the condcode enumerators. D60066 does that.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
