Each Calling convention (CC) defines a static list of registers that should be preserved by a callee function. All other registers should be saved by the caller.
Some CCs use additional condition: If the register is used for passing/returning arguments – the caller needs to save it - even if it is part of the Callee Saved Registers (CSR) list.
The current LLVM implementation doesn’t support it. It will save a register if it is part of the static CSR list and will not care if the register is passed/returned by the callee.
The solution is to dynamically allocate the CSR lists (Only for these CCs). The lists will be updated with actual registers that should be saved by the callee.
Since we need the allocated lists to live as long as the function exists, the list should reside inside the Machine Register Info (MRI) which is a property of the Machine Function and managed by it (and has the same life span).
The lists should be saved in the MRI and populated upon LowerCall and LowerFormalArguments.
The patch will also assist to implement future no_caller_saved_regsiters attribute intended for interrupt handler CC.

The good reason to do this is that static allocas are pretty simple to handle
(especially at -O0) and avoiding tracking DBG_VALUEs throughout the pipeline
should give some kind of performance benefit.
The bad reason is that the debug pipeline is an unholy mess of implicit
contracts, where determining whether "DBG_VALUE %reg, imm" actually implies a
load or not involves the services of at least 3 soothsayers and the sacrifice
of at least one chicken. And it still gets it wrong if the variable is at SP
directly.

We had various variants of defining dump() functions in LLVM. Normalize
them (this should just consistently implement the things discussed in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2014-January/034323.html
For reference:
- Public headers should just declare the dump() method but not use
LLVM_DUMP_METHOD or #if !defined(NDEBUG) || defined(LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP)
- The definition of a dump method should look like this:
#if !defined(NDEBUG) || defined(LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP)
LLVM_DUMP_METHOD void MyClass::dump() {
// print stuff to dbgs()...
}
#endif

Recommitting r288293 with some extra fixes for GlobalISel code.
Most of the exception handling members in MachineModuleInfo is actually
per function data (talks about the "current function") so it is better
to keep it at the function instead of the module.
This is a necessary step to have machine module passes work properly.
Also:
- Rename TidyLandingPads() to tidyLandingPads()
- Use doxygen member groups instead of "//===- EH ---"... so it is clear
where a group ends.
- I had to add an ugly const_cast at two places in the AsmPrinter
because the available MachineFunction pointers are const, but the code
wants to call tidyLandingPads() in between
(markFunctionEnd()/endFunction()).

If a constant is unamed_addr and is only used within one function, we can save
on the code size and runtime cost of an indirection by changing the global's storage
to inside the constant pool. For example, instead of:
ldr r0, .CPI0
bl printf
bx lr
.CPI0: &format_string
format_string: .asciz "hello, world!\n"
We can emit:
adr r0, .CPI0
bl printf
bx lr
.CPI0: .asciz "hello, world!\n"
This can cause significant code size savings when many small strings are used in one
function (4 bytes per string).
This recommit contains fixes for a nasty bug related to fast-isel fallback - because
fast-isel doesn't know about this optimization, if it runs and emits references to
a string that we inline (because fast-isel fell back to SDAG) we will end up
with an inlined string and also an out-of-line string, and we won't emit the
out-of-line string, causing backend failures.
It also contains fixes for emitting .text relocations which made the sanitizer
bots unhappy.

Many lists want to override only allocation semantics, or callbacks for
iplist. Split these up to prevent code duplication.
- Specialize ilist_alloc_traits to change the implementations of
deleteNode() and createNode().
- One common desire is to do nothing deleteNode() and disable
createNode(). Specialize ilist_alloc_traits to inherit from
ilist_noalloc_traits for that behaviour.
- Specialize ilist_callback_traits to use the addNodeToList(),
removeNodeFromList(), and transferNodesFromList() callbacks.
As a drive-by, add some coverage to the callback-related unit tests.

This is used to communicate that the instruction selection pipeline
failed at some point.
Another way to achieve that would be to have some kind of conditional
scheduling in the PassManager, such that we only schedule a pass based
on the success/failure of another one. The property approach has the
advantage of being lightweight and solve the problem at stake.

This method allows to reset the state of a MachineFunction as if it was
just created. This will be used during the bring-up of GlobalISel to
provide a way to fallback on SelectionDAG. That way, we can start doing
correctness testing even if we are not able to select all functions via
the global instruction selector.

Rename AllVRegsAllocated to NoVRegs. This avoids the connotation of
running after register and simply describes that no vregs are used in
a machine function. With that we can simply compute the property and do
not need to dump/parse it in .mir files.

I want to compute the SSA property of .mir files automatically in
upcoming patches. The problem with this is that some inputs will be
reported as static single assignment with some passes claiming not to
support SSA form. In reality though those passes do not support PHI
instructions => Track the presence of PHI instructions separate from the
SSA property.

- Always compile print() regardless of LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP. (We usually
only gard dump() functions with that).
- Only show the set properties to reduce output clutter.
- Remove the unused variant that even shows the unset properties.
- Fix comments

Selected: the InstructionSelect pass ran and all pre-isel generic
instructions have been eliminated; i.e., all instructions are now
target-specific or non-pre-isel generic instructions (e.g., COPY).
Since only pre-isel generic instructions can have generic virtual register
operands, this also means that all generic virtual registers have been
constrained to virtual registers (assigned to register classes) and that
all sizes attached to them have been eliminated.
This lets us enforce certain invariants across passes.
This property is GlobalISel-specific, but is always available.
llvm-svn: 277482
RegBankSelected: the RegBankSelect pass ran and all generic virtual
registers have been assigned to a register bank.
This lets us enforce certain invariants across passes.
This property is GlobalISel-specific, but is always available.

Legalized: The MachineLegalizer ran; all pre-isel generic instructions
have been legalized, i.e., all instructions are now one of:
- generic and always legal (e.g., COPY)
- target-specific
- legal pre-isel generic instructions.
This lets us enforce certain invariants across passes.
This property is GlobalISel-specific, but is always available.

This is only used for debug prints, but the previous hardcoded ", "
caused it to be printed unnecessarily when OnlySet, and is annoying
when adding new properties.
