<title>[PowerPC] Take ABI into account for data layout (#149725)</title>

Prior to this change, the data layout calculation would not account for
explicitly set `-mabi=elfv2` on `powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu`, a target
that defaults to `elfv1`.

This is loosely inspired by the equivalent ARM / RISC-V code.

`make check-llvm` passes fine for me, though AFAICT all the tests
specify the data layout manually so there isn't really a test for this
and I am not really sure what the best way to go about adding one would
be.

<title>[llvm] Move data layout string computation to TargetParser (#157612)</title>

Clang and other frontends generally need the LLVM data layout string in
order to generate LLVM IR modules for LLVM. MLIR clients often need it
as well, since MLIR users often lower to LLVM IR.

Before this change, the LLVM datalayout string was computed in the
LLVM${TGT}CodeGen library in the relevant TargetMachine subclass.
However, none of the logic for computing the data layout string requires
any details of code generation. Clients who want to avoid duplicating
this information were forced to link in LLVMCodeGen and all registered
targets, leading to bloated binaries. This happened in PR #145899,
which measurably increased binary size for some of our users.

By moving this information to the TargetParser library, we
can delete the duplicate datalayout strings in Clang, and retain the
ability to generate IR for unregistered targets.

This is intended to be a very mechanical LLVM-only change, but there is
an immediately obvious follow-up to clang, which will be prepared
separately.

The vast majority of data layouts are computable with two inputs: the
triple and the "ABI name". There is only one exception, NVPTX, which has
a cl::opt to enable short device pointers. I invented a "shortptr" ABI
name to pass this option through the target independent interface.
Everything else fits. Mips is a bit awkward because it uses a special
MipsABIInfo abstraction, which includes members with codegen-like
concepts like ABI physical registers that can't live in TargetParser. I
think the string logic of looking for "n32" "n64" etc is reasonable to
duplicate. We have plenty of other minor duplication to preserve
layering.

<title>[llvm] annotate interfaces in llvm/Target for DLL export (#143615)</title>

<id>19658d14749876cf0b6633f210c923be3709323b</id>
<content type='text'>
## Purpose

This patch is one in a series of code-mods that annotate LLVM’s public
interface for export. This patch annotates the `llvm/Target` library.
These annotations currently have no meaningful impact on the LLVM build;
however, they are a prerequisite to support an LLVM Windows DLL (shared
library) build.

## Background

This effort is tracked in #109483. Additional context is provided in
[this
discourse](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-annotating-llvm-public-interface/85307),
and documentation for `LLVM_ABI` and related annotations is found in the
LLVM repo
[here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/docs/InterfaceExportAnnotations.rst).

A sub-set of these changes were generated automatically using the
[Interface Definition Scanner (IDS)](https://github.com/compnerd/ids)
tool, followed formatting with `git clang-format`.

The bulk of this change is manual additions of `LLVM_ABI` to
`LLVMInitializeX` functions defined in .cpp files under llvm/lib/Target.
Adding `LLVM_ABI` to the function implementation is required here
because they do not `#include "llvm/Support/TargetSelect.h"`, which
contains the declarations for this functions and was already updated
with `LLVM_ABI` in a previous patch. I considered patching these files
with `#include "llvm/Support/TargetSelect.h"` instead, but since
TargetSelect.h is a large file with a bunch of preprocessor x-macro
stuff in it I was concerned it would unnecessarily impact compile times.

In addition, a number of unit tests under llvm/unittests/Target required
additional dependencies to make them build correctly against the LLVM
DLL on Windows using MSVC.

## Validation

Local builds and tests to validate cross-platform compatibility. This
included llvm, clang, and lldb on the following configurations:

- Windows with MSVC
- Windows with Clang
- Linux with GCC
- Linux with Clang
- Darwin with Clang</content>

<title>[PowerPC] hoist xxspltiw instruction out of the loop with FMA mutation pass. (#111696)</title>

<id>a91b0d27806226d52db90a4fe83bb73a95f412f4</id>
<content type='text'>
Summary: 
   
The patch fixes the issue [[PowerPC] missing VSX FMA Mutation optimize
in some case for option -schedule-ppc-vsx-fma-mutation-early
#111906](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/111906)
   
In certain cases, the Register Coalescer pass—which eliminates COPY
instructions—can interfere with the PowerPC VSX FMA Mutation pass.
Specifically, it can prevent the mutation of a COPY adjacent to an
XSMADDADP into a single XSMADDMDP instruction. As a result, the xxspltiw
instruction is not hoisted out of the loop as expected, leading to
missed optimization opportunities.

To address this, the patch ensures that the `VSX FMA Mutation` pass runs
before the `Register Coalescer` pass when the
-schedule-ppc-vsx-fma-mutation-early option is enabled.</content>

We rename `createGenericSchedLive` and `createGenericSchedPostRA`
to `createSchedLive` and `createSchedPostRA`, and add a template
parameter `Strategy` which is the generic implementation by default.

This can simplify some code for targets that have custom scheduler
strategy.</content>

Register assembly printer passes in the pass registry.

This makes it possible to use `llc -start-before=&lt;target&gt;-asm-printer ...` in tests.

Adds a `char &amp;ID` parameter to the AssemblyPrinter constructor to allow
targets to use the `INITIALIZE_PASS` macros and register the pass in the
pass registry. This currently has a default parameter so it won't break
any targets that have not been updated.</content>

Replace "concept based polymorphism" with simpler PImpl idiom.

This pursues two goals:
* Enforce static type checking. Previously, target implementations hid
base class methods and type checking was impossible. Now that they
override the methods, the compiler will complain on mismatched
signatures.
* Make the code easier to navigate. Previously, if you asked your
favorite LSP server to show a method (e.g. `getInstructionCost()`), it
would show you methods from `TTI`, `TTI::Concept`, `TTI::Model`,
`TTIImplBase`, and target overrides. Now it is two less :)

There are three commits to hopefully simplify the review.

The first commit removes `TTI::Model`. This is done by deriving
`TargetTransformInfoImplBase` from `TTI::Concept`. This is possible
because they implement the same set of interfaces with identical
signatures.

The first commit makes `TargetTransformImplBase` polymorphic, which
means all derived classes should `override` its methods. This is done in
second commit to make the first one smaller. It appeared infeasible to
extract this into a separate PR because the first commit landed
separately would result in tons of `-Woverloaded-virtual` warnings (and
break `-Werror` builds).

The third commit eliminates `TTI::Concept` by merging it with the only
derived class `TargetTransformImplBase`. This commit could be extracted
into a separate PR, but it touches the same lines in
`TargetTransformInfoImpl.h` (removes `override` added by the second
commit and adds `virtual`), so I thought it may make sense to land these
two commits together.
