On x86 and AArch, SIMD instructions encode all of the scheduling information in the instruction
itself. For example, VADD.I16 q0, q1, q2 is a neon instruction that operates on 16-bit integer
elements stored in 128-bit Q registers, which leads to eight 16-bit lanes in parallel. This kind
of information impacts how the instruction takes to execute and what dependencies this may cause.
On RISCV however, the data that impacts scheduling is encoded in CSR registers such as vtype or
vl, in addition with the instruction itself. But MCA does not track or use the data in these
registers. This patch fixes this problem by introducing Instruments into MCA.
* Replace `CodeRegions` with `AnalysisRegions`
* Add `Instrument` and `InstrumentManager`
* Add `InstrumentRegions`
* Add RISCV Instrument and `InstrumentManager`
* Parse `Instruments` in driver
* Use instruments to override schedule class
* RISCV use lmul instrument to override schedule class
* Fix unit tests to pass empty instruments
* Add -ignore-im clopt to disable this change
A prior version of this patch was commited in 5e82ee5373. 2323a4ee61 reverted
that change because the unit test files caused build errors. The change with fixes
were committed in b88b8307bf but reverted once again e8e92c8313 due to more
build errors.
This commit adds the prior changes and fixes the build error.

LLVM Documentation
==================
LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.
If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-html
$BROWSER <build-dir>/docs/html/index.html
The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `https://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.
If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation
very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText
markup syntax.
Manpage Output
===============
Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-man
man -l <build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1
The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.
Checking links
==============
The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by
running:
cd llvm/docs/
sphinx-build -b linkcheck . _build/lintcheck/
# report will be generated in _build/lintcheck/output.txt
Doxygen page Output
==============
Install doxygen <https://www.doxygen.nl/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir>
make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs
make doxygen-clang # for clang docs
It will generate html in
<build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs
<build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
