to reflect the new license.
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
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
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
repository.

Currently, BPF has XADD (locked add) insn support and the
asm looks like:
lock *(u32 *)(r1 + 0) += r2
lock *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) += r2
The instruction itself does not have a return value.
At the source code level, users often use
__sync_fetch_and_add()
which eventually translates to XADD. The return value of
__sync_fetch_and_add() is supposed to be the old value
in the xadd memory location. Since BPF::XADD insn does not
support such a return value, this patch added a PreEmit
phase to check such a usage. If such an illegal usage
pattern is detected, a fatal error will be reported like
line 4: Invalid usage of the XADD return value
if compiled with -g, or
Invalid usage of the XADD return value
if compiled without -g.
