This models the A9 processor at the level of instruction operands, as
opposed to the itinerary, which models each operation at the level of
pipeline stages.
The two primary motivations are:
1) Allow MachineScheduler to model A9 as an out-of-order processor. It
can now distinguish between hazards that force interlocking vs.
buffered resources.
2) Reduce long-term maintenance by allowing the itinerary and target
hooks to eventually be removed. Note that almost all of the complexity
in the new model exists to model instruction variants, which the
itinerary cannot handle. Instead the scheduler previously relied on
processor-specific target hooks which are incomplete and buggy.

subtarget CPU descriptions and support new features of
MachineScheduler.
MachineModel has three categories of data:
1) Basic properties for coarse grained instruction cost model.
2) Scheduler Read/Write resources for simple per-opcode and operand cost model (TBD).
3) Instruction itineraties for detailed per-cycle reservation tables.
These will all live side-by-side. Any subtarget can use any
combination of them. Instruction itineraries will not change in the
near term. In the long run, I expect them to only be relevant for
in-order VLIW machines that have complex contraints and require a
precise scheduling/bundling model. Once itineraries are only actively
used by VLIW-ish targets, they could be replaced by something more
appropriate for those targets.
This tablegen backend rewrite sets things up for introducing
MachineModel type #2: per opcode/operand cost model.

The TargetInstrInfo::getNumMicroOps API does not change, but soon it
will be used by MachineScheduler. Now each subtarget can specify the
number of micro-ops per itinerary class. For ARM, this is currently
always dynamic (-1), because it is used for load/store multiple which
depends on the number of register operands.
Zero is now a valid number of micro-ops. This can be used for
nop pseudo-instructions or instructions that the hardware can squash
during dispatch.

1. The new instruction itinerary entries are not properly described.
2. The asm parser can't handle vfms and vfnms.
3. There were no assembler, disassembler test cases.
4. HasNEON2 has the wrong assembler predicate.

is, it assumes addresses are 64-bit aligned (which should be the more common
case). If the alignment is found not to be aligned, then getOperandLatency()
would adjust the operand latency computation by one to compensate for it.

TargetInstrInfo:
Change produceSameValue() to take MachineRegisterInfo as an optional argument.
When in SSA form, targets can use it to make more aggressive equality analysis.
Machine LICM:
1. Eliminate isLoadFromConstantMemory, use MI.isInvariantLoad instead.
2. Fix a bug which prevent CSE of instructions which are not re-materializable.
3. Use improved form of produceSameValue.
ARM:
1. Teach ARM produceSameValue to look pass some PIC labels.
2. Look for operands from different loads of different constant pool entries
which have same values.
3. Re-implement PIC GA materialization using movw + movt. Combine the pair with
a "add pc" or "ldr [pc]" to form pseudo instructions. This makes it possible
to re-materialize the instruction, allow machine LICM to hoist the set of
instructions out of the loop and make it possible to CSE them. It's a bit
hacky, but it significantly improve code quality.
4. Some minor bug fixes as well.
With the fixes, using movw + movt to materialize GAs significantly outperform the
load from constantpool method. 186.crafty and 255.vortex improved > 20%, 254.gap
and 176.gcc ~10%.

I added these instructions recently but I have no idea where these "1"
values in the NextCycles field came from. As far as I can tell now,
these instruction stages are clearly intended to overlap.

- For now, loads of [r, r] addressing mode is the same as the
[r, r lsl/lsr/asr #] variants. ARMBaseInstrInfo::getOperandLatency() should
identify the former case and reduce the output latency by 1.
- Also identify [r, r << 2] case. This special form of shifter addressing mode
is "free".

1. Cortex-A8 load / store multiplies can only issue on ALU0.
2. Eliminate A8_Issue, A8_LSPipe will correctly limit the load / store issues.
3. Correctly model all vld1 and vld2 variants.
llvm-svn: 116134
allow target to correctly compute latency for cases where static scheduling
itineraries isn't sufficient. e.g. variable_ops instructions such as
ARM::ldm.
This also allows target without scheduling itineraries to compute operand
latencies. e.g. X86 can return (approximated) latencies for high latency
instructions such as division.
- Compute operand latencies for those defined by load multiple instructions,
e.g. ldm and those used by store multiple instructions, e.g. stm.

1. Model dual issues as two FUs.
2. Model the pipelines correctly: two symmetric ALUs, the multiplier is a
dependent pipeline on ALU0.
The changes do not have much impact on codegen right now. But I plan to make
pre-RA scheduler multi-issue aware which should take good advantage of the
changes.

1. Cortex-a9 8-bit and 16-bit loads / stores AGU cycles are 1 cycle longer than 32-bit ones.
2. Cortex-a9 is out-of-order so model all read cycles as cycle 1.
3. Lots of other random fixes for A8 and A9.
