These rely on the fact that currently simplifycfg won't really propagate
said `unreachable`, but that is about to change.

I think this is the actual important property; the previous visibility
check was an approximation.

Following up on the discussion from
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-April/112305.html, undef
values are now placed in the .bss as well as null values. This prevents
undef global values taking up potentially huge amounts of space in the
.data section.

The following two lines now both generate equivalent .bss data:

@vals1 = internal unnamed_addr global [20000000 x i32] zeroinitializer, align 4
@vals2 = internal unnamed_addr global [20000000 x i32] undef, align 4 ; previously unaccounted for

This is primarily motivated by the corresponding issue in the Rust
compiler (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41315).

Summary:
 This is a resurrection of work first proposed and discussed in Aug 2015:
   http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-August/089384.html
and initially landed (but then backed out) in Nov 2015:
   http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html

 The @llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset intrinsics currently have an explicit argument
which is required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
dest (and source), and so must be the minimum of the actual alignment of the
two.

 This change is the first in a series that allows source and dest to each
have their own alignments by using the alignment attribute on their arguments.

 In this change we:
1) Remove the alignment argument.
2) Add alignment attributes to the source &amp; dest arguments. We, temporarily,
   require that the alignments for source &amp; dest be equal.

 For example, code which used to read:
  call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 100, i32 4, i1 false)
will now read
  call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 4 %dest, i8* align 4 %src, i32 100, i1 false)

 Downstream users may have to update their lit tests that check for
@llvm.memcpy/memmove/memset call/declaration patterns. The following extended sed script
may help with updating the majority of your tests, but it does not catch all possible
patterns so some manual checking and updating will be required.

 The remaining changes in the series will:
Step 2) Expand the IRBuilder API to allow creation of memcpy/memmove with differing
   source and dest alignments.
Step 3) Update Clang to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 4) Update Polly to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 5) Update LLVM passes that create memcpy/memmove calls to use the new IRBuilder API,
        and those that use use MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() to use
        getDestAlignment() and getSourceAlignment() instead.
Step 6) Remove the single-alignment IRBuilder API for memcpy/memmove, and the
        MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() methods.

 The remaining changes in the series will:
Step 2) Expand the IRBuilder API to allow creation of memcpy/memmove with differing
   source and dest alignments.
Step 3) Update Clang to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 4) Update Polly to use the new IRBuilder API.
Step 5) Update LLVM passes that create memcpy/memmove calls to use the new IRBuilder API,
        and those that use use MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() to use
        getDestAlignment() and getSourceAlignment() instead.
Step 6) Remove the single-alignment IRBuilder API for memcpy/memmove, and the
        MemIntrinsicInst::[get|set]Alignment() methods.

<title>[ARM] Generate consistent frame records for Thumb2</title>

There is not an official documented ABI for frame pointers in Thumb2,
but we should try to emit something which is useful.

We use r7 as the frame pointer for Thumb code, which currently means
that if a function needs to save a high register (r8-r11), it will get
pushed to the stack between the frame pointer (r7) and link register
(r14). This means that while a stack unwinder can follow the chain of
frame pointers up the stack, it cannot know the offset to lr, so does
not know which functions correspond to the stack frames.

To fix this, we need to push the callee-saved registers in two batches,
with the first push saving the low registers, fp and lr, and the second
push saving the high registers. This is already implemented, but
previously only used for iOS. This patch turns it on for all Thumb2
targets when frame pointers are required by the ABI, and the frame
pointer is r7 (Windows uses r11, so this isn't a problem there). If
frame pointer elimination is enabled we still emit a single push/pop
even if we need a frame pointer for other reasons, to avoid increasing
code size.

We must also ensure that lr is pushed to the stack when using a frame
pointer, so that we end up with a complete frame record. Situations that
could cause this were rare, because we already push lr in most
situations so that we can return using the pop instruction.

Elsewhere (particularly computeKnownBits) we assume that a global will be
aligned to the value returned by Value::getPointerAlignment. This is used to
boost the alignment on memcpy/memset, so any target-specific request can only
increase that value.

<title>[MC] Use .p2align instead of .align</title>

For historic reasons, the behavior of .align differs between targets.
Fortunately, there are alternatives, .p2align and .balign, which make the
interpretation of the parameter explicit, and which behave consistently across
targets.

This patch teaches MC to use .p2align instead of .align, so that people reading
code for multiple architectures don't have to remember which way each platform
does its .align directive.
