Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

The effect of llvm.used is to introduce an invisible reference, so this seems
a reasonable restriction. It will be used to provide an easy ordering of
the entries in llvm.used.

Several LLVM headers are moved. The code listings in
LLVM tutorial are not updated yet.
This CL removes the code replica in the .rst, and replace
them with a literalinclude directive, so that sphinx can
include the latest code automatically.

This updates the debug info metadata schema documentation for various
schema changes made recently surrounding filename information for
scopes and the representation of imported entities.

- llvm.loop.parallel metadata has been renamed to llvm.loop to be more generic
by making the root of additional loop metadata.
- Loop::isAnnotatedParallel now looks for llvm.loop and associated
llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access
- document llvm.loop and update llvm.mem.parallel_loop_access
- add support for llvm.vectorizer.width and llvm.vectorizer.unroll
- document llvm.vectorizer.* metadata
- add utility class LoopVectorizerHints for getting/setting loop metadata
- use llvm.vectorizer.width=1 to indicate already vectorized instead of
already_vectorized
- update existing tests that used llvm.loop.parallel and
llvm.vectorizer.already_vectorized

Other than recognizing the attribute, the patch does little else.
It changes the branch probability analyzer so that edges into
blocks postdominated by a cold function are given low weight.
Added analysis and code generation tests. Added documentation for the
new attribute.

This implements the @llvm.readcyclecounter intrinsic as the specific
MRC instruction specified in the ARM manuals for CPUs with the Power
Management extensions.
Older CPUs had slightly different methods which may also have to be
implemented eventually, but this should cover all v7 cases.

Describe that they are assigned numbered label using the same counter
as for unnamed temporaries.
Based on http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=16043 and mailing list
discussion.

Summary:
This patch allows using \n inside long help strings for command-line
options, so that all lines are equally indented. This is not a perfect solution,
as we don't (and probably don't want to) know about terminal width, but it
allows to format long help strings somehow readable without manually padding
them with spaces. A motivating example is -help output from clang-format (source
code in tools/clang-format/ClangFormat.cpp, see cl options offset, length,
style, and dump-config).

The idea is that docs/ReleaseNotes.rst is 3.3 and will be copied to the
branch by the release manager just before creating the release
candidates.
This ReleaseNotes_34.rst will then be moved over ReleaseNotes.rst after
the 3.3 release.

This patch wires up the SystemZ target in configure, so that it can now be
built using --enable-targets=systemz. It is not yet included in the default
build (--enable-targets=all); this will be done by a follow-up patch.

Build attribute sections can now be read if they exist via ELFObjectFile, and
the llvm-readobj tool has been extended with an option to dump this information
if requested. Regression tests are also included which exercise these features.
Also update the docs with a fixed ARM ABI link and a new link to the Addenda
which provides the build attributes specification.
