RegAllocGreedy uses SlotIndexes::getApproxInstrDistance to approximate
the length of a live range for its heuristics. Renumbering all slot
indexes with the default instruction distance ensures that this estimate
will be as accurate as possible, and will not depend on the history of
how instructions have been added to and removed from SlotIndexes's maps.
This also means that enabling -early-live-intervals, which runs the
SlotIndexes analysis earlier, will not cause large amounts of churn due
to different register allocator decisions.
PowerPC subtargets prior to Power9 use the 'legacy' itinerary way to
provide scheduling information. This patch re-writes the tablegen file
to define the scheduling information in the new SchedModel way, which
can bring improvements to some benchmarks.

We added a new post-isel CTRLoop pass in D122125. That pass will expand
the hardware loop related intrinsic to CTR loop or normal loop based
on the loop context. So we don't need to conservatively check the CTR
clobber now on the IR level.

mflr is kind of expensive on Power version smaller than 10, so we should
schedule the store for the mflr's def away from mflr.
In epilogue, the expensive mtlr has no user for its def, so it doesn't
matter that the load and the mtlr are back-to-back.

This patch fixes the following two bugs in `PPCInstrInfo::isSignOrZeroExtended` helper, which is used from sign-/zero-extension elimination in PPCMIPeephole pass.
- Registers defined by load with update (e.g. LBZU) were identified as already sign or zero-extended. But it is true only for the first def (loaded value) and not for the second def (i.e. updated pointer).
- Registers defined by ORIS/XORIS were identified as already sign-extended. But, it is not true for sign extension depending on the immediate (while it is ok for zero extension).
To handle the first case, the parameter for the helpers is changed from `MachineInstr` to a register number to distinguish first and second defs. Also, this patch moves the initialization of PPCMIPeepholePass to allow mir test case.

Summary:
When doing the conversion: MachineInst -> MCInst, we should ignore the
implicit operands, it will expose more opportunity for InstiAlias.

Summary:
If we didn't set the value for hasSideEffects bit in our td file, `llvm-tblgen`
will set it as true for those instructions which has no match pattern.
The instructions `MTLR` and `MFLR` don't set the hasSideEffects flag and don't
have match pattern, so their hasSideEffects flag will be set true by
`llvm-tblgen`.
But in fact, we can use `[LR]` to model the two instructions, so they should not
have SideEffects.
This patch is to modify the hasSideEffects of MTLR and MFLR from 1 to 0.

This re-commits r375152 which was pulled in r375233 because it broke
the EXPENSIVE_CHECKS bot on Windows.
The reason for the failure was a bug in the pass that the commit turned
on by default. This patch fixes that bug and turns the pass back on.
This patch has been verified on the buildbot that originally failed
thanks to Simon Pilgrim.

Quite a while ago, we implemented a pass that will reduce the number of
CR-logical operations we emit. It does so by converting a CR-logical operation
into a branch. We have kept this off by default because it seemed to cause a
significant regression with one benchmark.
However, that regression turned out to be due to a completely unrelated
reason - AADB introducing a self-copy that is a priority-setting nop and it was
just exacerbated by this pass.
Now that we understand the reason for the only degradation, we can turn this
pass on by default. We have long since fixed the cause for the degradation.

The indirect call sequence on PPC requires that the TOC base register be saved
prior to the indirect call and restored after the call since the indirect call
may branch to a global entry point in another DSO which will update the TOC
base. Over the last couple of years, we have improved this to:
- be able to hoist TOC saves from loops (with changes to MachineLICM)
- avoid multiple saves when one dominates the other[s]
However, it is still possible to have multiple TOC saves dynamically in the
execution path if there is no dominance relationship between them.
This patch moves the TOC save to the prologue when one of the TOC saves is in a
block that post-dominates entry (i.e. it cannot be avoided) or if it is in a
block that is hotter than entry.
