between the high and low registers for prologue/epilogue code. This was
a Darwin-only thing that wasn't providing a realistic benefit anymore.
Combining the save areas simplifies the compiler code and results in better
ARM/Thumb2 codegen.
For example, previously we would generate code like:
push {r4, r5, r6, r7, lr}
add r7, sp, #12
stmdb sp!, {r8, r10, r11}
With this change, we combine the register saves and generate:
push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r10, r11, lr}
add r7, sp, #12

"For ARM stack frames that utilize variable sized objects and have either
large local stack areas or require dynamic stack realignment, allocate a
base register via which to access the local frame. This allows efficient
access to frame indices not accessible via the FP (either due to being out
of range or due to dynamic realignment) or the SP (due to variable sized
object allocation). In particular, this greatly improves efficiency of access
to spill slots in Thumb functions which contain VLAs."
r112986 fixed a latent bug exposed by the above.

extra checks for Darwin.
This change also fixes the use of FP to access frame indices in leaf
functions and cleaned up some confusing code in epilogue emission.

writebacks to the address register. This gets rid of the hack that the
first register on the list was the magic writeback register operand. There
was an implicit constraint that if that operand was not reg0 it had to match
the base register operand. The post-RA scheduler's antidependency breaker
did not understand that constraint and sometimes changed one without the
other. This also fixes Radar 7495976 and should help the verifier work
better for ARM code.
There are now new ld/st instructions explicit writeback operands and explicit
constraints that tie those registers together.

properly distinguish types of frame values (e.g., whether the value is
stack-pointer relative or frame-pointer relative).
No functionality change.

The Thumb1 target uses this to make sure R12 is not clobbered while a spilled

a virtual register to eliminate a frame index, it can return that register
and the constant stored there to PEI to track. When scavenging to allocate
for those registers, PEI then tracks the last-used register and value, and
if it is still available and matches the value for the next index, reuses
the existing value rather and removes the re-materialization instructions.
Fancier tracking and adjustment of scavenger allocations to keep more
values live for longer is possible, but not yet implemented and would likely
be better done via a different, less special-purpose, approach to the
problem.
eliminateFrameIndex() is modified so the target implementations can return
the registers they wish to be tracked for reuse.
ARM Thumb1 implements and utilizes the new mechanism. All other targets are
simply modified to adjust for the changed eliminateFrameIndex() prototype.

negative, but Thumb1 load/store instructions only allow positive immediate
offsets. Instead, Thumb1 will spill to R12.

interest for this, as it currently reserves a register rather than using
the scavenger for matierializing constants as needed.
Instead of scavenging registers on the fly while eliminating frame indices,
new virtual registers are created, and then a scavenged collectively in a
post-pass over the function. This isolates the bits that need to interact
with the scavenger, and sets the stage for more intelligent use, and reuse,
of scavenged registers.
For the time being, this is disabled by default. Once the bugs are worked out,
the current scavenging calls in replaceFrameIndices() will be removed and
the post-pass scavenging will be the default. Until then,
-enable-frame-index-scavenging enables the new code. Currently, only the
Thumb1 back end is set up to use it.
