This is slightly more interesting than the previous batch of changes.
Specifically:
1. We refactor getSpillWeight to take a MachineBlockFrequencyInfo (MBFI)
object. This enables us to completely encapsulate the actual manner we
use the MachineBlockFrequencyInfo to get our spill weights. This yields
cleaner code since one does not need to fetch the actual block frequency
before getting the spill weight if all one wants it the spill weight. It
also gives us access to entry frequency which we need for our
computation.
2. Instead of having getSpillWeight take a MachineBasicBlock (as one
might think) to look up the block frequency via the MBFI object, we
instead take in a MachineInstr object. The reason for this is that the
method is supposed to return the spill weight for an instruction
according to the comments around the function.

LiveRange just manages a list of segments and a list of value numbers
now as LiveInterval did previously, but without having details like spill
weight or a fixed register number.
LiveInterval is now a subclass of LiveRange and simply adds the spill weight
and the register number.
llvm-svn: 192393
The Segment struct contains a single interval; multiple instances of this struct
are used to construct a live range, but the struct is not a live range by
itself.
llvm-svn: 192392
When new virtual registers are created during splitting/spilling, defer
creation of the live interval until we need to use the live interval.
Along with the recent commits to notify LiveRangeEdit when new virtual
registers are created, this makes it possible for functions like
TargetInstrInfo::loadRegFromStackSlot() and
TargetInstrInfo::storeRegToStackSlot() to create multiple virtual
registers as part of the process of generating loads/stores for
different register classes, and then have the live intervals for those
new registers computed when they are needed.

The main advantages here are way better heuristics, taking into account not
just loop depth but also __builtin_expect and other static heuristics and will
eventually learn how to use profile info. Most of the work in this patch is
pushing the MachineBlockFrequencyInfo analysis into the right places.
This is good for a 5% speedup on zlib's deflate (x86_64), there were some very
unfortunate spilling decisions in its hottest loop in longest_match(). Other
benchmarks I tried were mostly neutral.
This changes register allocation in subtle ways, update the tests for it.
2012-02-20-MachineCPBug.ll was deleted as it's very fragile and the instruction
it looked for was gone already (but the FileCheck pattern picked up unrelated
stuff).
llvm-svn: 184105
related failures when running 'make check' without LiveVariables with the
verifier enabled. Some of the remaining failures elsewhere may still be fallout
from incorrect updating of LiveIntervals or the few missing cases left in the
two-address pass.

and removing instructions. The implementation seems more complicated than it
needs to be, but I couldn't find something simpler that dealt with all of the
corner cases.
Also add a call to repairIndexesInRange() from repairIntervalsInRange().
llvm-svn: 175601
arguably better than forward iterators for this use case, they are confusing and
there are some implementation problems with reverse iterators and MI bundles.
llvm-svn: 175393
terminators that actually have register uses when splitting critical edges.
This commit also introduces a method repairIntervalsInRange() on LiveIntervals,
which allows for repairing LiveIntervals in a small range after an arbitrary
target hook modifies, inserts, and removes instructions. It's pretty limited
right now, but I hope to extend it to support all of the things that are done
by the convertToThreeAddress() target hooks.
