Many CPUs only have the ability to do a 4-byte cmpxchg (or ll/sc), not 1
or 2-byte. For those, you need to mask and shift the 1 or 2 byte values
appropriately to use the 4-byte instruction.
This change adds support for cmpxchg-based instruction sets (only SPARC,
in LLVM). The support can be extended for LL/SC-based PPC and MIPS in
the future, supplanting the ISel expansions those architectures
currently use.
Tests added for the IR transform and SPARCv9.

(Recommit of r266002, with r266011, r266016, and not accidentally
including an extra unused/uninitialized element in LibcallRoutineNames)
AtomicExpandPass can now lower atomic load, atomic store, atomicrmw, and
cmpxchg instructions to __atomic_* library calls, when the target
doesn't support atomics of a given size.
This is the first step towards moving all atomic lowering from clang
into llvm. When all is done, the behavior of __sync_* builtins,
__atomic_* builtins, and C11 atomics will be unified.
Previously LLVM would pass everything through to the ISelLowering
code. There, unsupported atomic instructions would turn into __sync_*
library calls. Because of that behavior, Clang currently avoids emitting
llvm IR atomic instructions when this would happen, and emits __atomic_*
library functions itself, in the frontend.
This change makes LLVM able to emit __atomic_* libcalls, and thus will
eventually allow clang to depend on LLVM to do the right thing.
It is advantageous to do the new lowering to atomic libcalls in
AtomicExpandPass, before ISel time, because it's important that all
atomic operations for a given size either lower to __atomic_*
libcalls (which may use locks), or native instructions which won't. No
mixing and matching.
At the moment, this code is enabled only for SPARC, as a
demonstration. The next commit will expand support to all of the other
targets.

It doesn't like implicitly calling the ArrayRef constructor with a
returned array -- it appears to decays the returned value to a pointer,
first, before trying to make an ArrayRef out of it.

Summary:
In the context of http://wg21.link/lwg2445 C++ uses the concept of
'stronger' ordering but doesn't define it properly. This should be fixed
in C++17 barring a small question that's still open.
The code currently plays fast and loose with the AtomicOrdering
enum. Using an enum class is one step towards tightening things. I later
also want to tighten related enums, such as clang's
AtomicOrderingKind (which should be shared with LLVM as a 'C++ ABI'
enum).
This change touches a few lines of code which can be improved later, I'd
like to keep it as NFC for now as it's already quite complex. I have
related changes for clang.
As a follow-up I'll add:
bool operator<(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
bool operator>(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
bool operator<=(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
bool operator>=(AtomicOrdering, AtomicOrdering) = delete;
This is separate so that clang and LLVM changes don't need to be in sync.

- Rename getATOMIC to getSYNC, as llvm will soon be able to emit both
'__sync' libcalls and '__atomic' libcalls, and this function is for
the '__sync' ones.
- getInsertFencesForAtomic() has been replaced with
shouldInsertFencesForAtomic(Instruction), so that the decision can be
made per-instruction. This functionality will be used soon.
- emitLeadingFence/emitTrailingFence are no longer called if
shouldInsertFencesForAtomic returns false, and thus don't need to
check the condition themselves.

DMB instructions can be expensive, so it's best to avoid them if possible. In
atomicrmw operations there will always be an attempted store so a release
barrier is always needed, but in the cmpxchg case we can delay the DMB until we
know we'll definitely try to perform a store (and so need release semantics).
In the strong cmpxchg case this isn't quite free: we must duplicate the LDREX
instructions to skip the barrier on subsequent iterations. The basic outline
becomes:
ldrex rOld, [rAddr]
cmp rOld, rDesired
bne Ldone
dmb
Lloop:
strex rRes, rNew, [rAddr]
cbz rRes Ldone
ldrex rOld, [rAddr]
cmp rOld, rDesired
beq Lloop
Ldone:
So we'll skip this version for strong operations in "minsize" functions.

Today, we do not allow cmpxchg operations with pointer arguments. We require the frontend to insert ptrtoint casts and do the cmpxchg in integers. While correct, this is problematic from a couple of perspectives:
1) It makes the IR harder to analyse (for instance, it make capture tracking overly conservative)
2) It pushes work onto the frontend authors for no real gain
This patch implements the simplest form of IR support. As we did with floating point loads and stores, we teach AtomicExpand to convert back to the old representation. This prevents us needing to change all backends in a single lock step change. Over time, we can migrate each backend to natively selecting the pointer type. In the meantime, we get the advantages of a cleaner IR representation without waiting for the backend changes.

This patch allows atomic loads and stores of floating point to be specified in the IR and adds an adapter to allow them to be lowered via existing backend support for bitcast-to-equivalent-integer idiom.
Previously, the only way to specify a atomic float operation was to bitcast the pointer to a i32, load the value as an i32, then bitcast to a float. At it's most basic, this patch simply moves this expansion step to the point we start lowering to the backend.
This patch does not add canonicalization rules to convert the bitcast idioms to the appropriate atomic loads. I plan to do that in the future, but for now, let's simply add the support. I'd like to get instruction selection working through at least one backend (x86-64) without the bitcast conversion before canonicalizing into this form.
Similarly, I haven't yet added the target hooks to opt out of the lowering step I added to AtomicExpand. I figured it would more sense to add those once at least one backend (x86) was ready to actually opt out.
As you can see from the included tests, the generated code quality is not great. I plan on submitting some patches to fix this, but help from others along that line would be very welcome. I'm not super familiar with the backend and my ramp up time may be material.

The ARM ARM is clear that 128-bit loads are only guaranteed to have been atomic
if there has been a corresponding successful stxp. It's less clear for AArch32, so
I'm leaving that alone for now.

In the comparison failure block of a cmpxchg expansion, the initial
ldrex/ldxr will not be followed by a matching strex/stxr.
On ARM/AArch64, this unnecessarily ties up the execution monitor,
which might have a negative performance impact on some uarchs.
Instead, release the monitor in the failure block.
The clrex instruction was designed for this: use it.
