Since the LMUL data that is needed to create an instrument is
avaliable statically from vsetivli and vsetvli instructions,
LMUL instruments can be automatically generated so that clients
of the tool do no need to manually insert instrument comments.
Instrument comments may be placed after a vset{i}vli instruction,
which will override instrument that was automatically inserted.
As a result, clients of llvm-mca instruments do not need to update
their existing instrument comments. However, if the instrument
has the same LMUL as the vset{i}vli, then it is reccomended to
remove the instrument comment as it becomes redundant.

There was a memory leak that presented itself once the llvm-mca
tests were committed. This leak was not checked for by the pre-commit
tests. This change changes the shared_ptr to a unique_ptr to avoid
this problem.
We will know that this fix works once committed since I don't know
whether it is possible to force a lit test to use LSan. I spent the
day trying to build llvm with LSan enabled without much luck. If
anyone knows how to build llvm with LSan for the lit-tests, I am
happy to give it another try locally.

Before performing this change, I checked that `ByteAlignment` was never `0` inside `MCAsmStreamer:emitZeroFill` and `MCAsmStreamer::emitLocalCommonSymbol`.
I believe it is NFC as `0` values are illegal in `emitZeroFill` anyways, `Log2(ByteAlignment)` would be undefined.
And currently, all calls to `emitLocalCommonSymbol` are provably `>0`.

This breaks Windows bots with

Some shift operators are lacking a proper literal unit ('1ULL' instead of

On x86 and AArch, SIMD instructions encode all of the scheduling information in the instruction
itself. For example, VADD.I16 q0, q1, q2 is a neon instruction that operates on 16-bit integer
elements stored in 128-bit Q registers, which leads to eight 16-bit lanes in parallel. This kind
of information impacts how the instruction takes to execute and what dependencies this may cause.
On RISCV however, the data that impacts scheduling is encoded in CSR registers such as vtype or
vl, in addition with the instruction itself. But MCA does not track or use the data in these
registers. This patch fixes this problem by introducing Instruments into MCA.

As usual with that header cleanup series, some implicit dependencies now need to
be explicit:
llvm/MC/MCParser/MCAsmParser.h no longer includes llvm/MC/MCParser/MCAsmLexer.h
Preprocessed lines to build llvm on my setup:
after: 1068185081
before: 1068324320
So no compile time benefit to expect, but we still get the looser coupling
between files which is great.

In order to create the code regions for llvm-mca to analyze, llvm-mca creates an
AsmCodeRegionGenerator and calls AsmCodeRegionGenerator::parseCodeRegions().
Within this function, both an MCAsmParser and MCTargetAsmParser are created so
that MCAsmParser::Run() can be used to create the code regions for us.
These parser classes were created for llvm-mc so they are designed to emit code
with an MCStreamer and MCTargetStreamer that are expected to be setup and passed
into the MCAsmParser constructor. Because llvm-mca doesn’t want to emit any
code, an MCStreamerWrapper class gets created instead and passed into the
MCAsmParser constructor. This wrapper inherits from MCStreamer and overrides
many of the emit methods to just do nothing. The exception is the
emitInstruction() method which calls Regions.addInstruction(Inst).
This works well and allows llvm-mca to utilize llvm-mc’s MCAsmParser to build
our code regions, however there are a few directives which rely on the
MCTargetStreamer. llvm-mc assumes that the MCStreamer that gets passed into the
MCAsmParser’s constructor has a valid pointer to an MCTargetStreamer. Because
llvm-mca doesn’t setup an MCTargetStreamer, when the parser encounters one of
those directives, a segfault will occur.
In x86, each one of these 7 directives will cause this segfault if they exist in
the input assembly to llvm-mca:
.cv_fpo_proc
.cv_fpo_setframe
.cv_fpo_pushreg
.cv_fpo_stackalloc
.cv_fpo_stackalign
.cv_fpo_endprologue
.cv_fpo_endproc
I haven’t looked at other targets, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the
other ones also have certain directives which could result in this same
segfault.
My proposed solution is to simply initialize an MCTargetStreamer after we
initialize the MCStreamerWrapper. The MCTargetStreamer requires an ostream
object, but we don’t actually want any of these directives to be emitted
anywhere, so I use an ostream created with the nulls() function. Since this
needs to happen after the MCStreamerWrapper has been initialized, it needs to
happen within the AsmCodeRegionGenerator::parseCodeRegions() function. The
MCTargetStreamer also needs an MCInstPrinter which is easiest to initialize
within the main() function of llvm-mca. So this MCInstPrinter gets constructed
within main() then passed into the parseCodeRegions() function as a parameter.
(If you feel like it would be appropriate and possible to create the
MCInstPrinter within the parseCodeRegions() function, then feel free to modify
my solution. That would stop us from having to pass it into the function and
would limit its scope / lifetime.)
My solution stops the segfault from happening and still passes all of the
current (expected) llvm-mca tests. I also added a new test for x86 that checks
for this segfault on an input that includes one of the .cv_fpo directives (this
test fails without my solution, but passes with it).
As far as I can tell, all of the functions that I modified are only called from
within llvm-mca so there shouldn’t be any worries about breaking other tools.

A SMLoc allows MCStreamer to report location-aware diagnostics, which
were previously done by adding SMLoc to various methods (e.g. emit*) in an ad-hoc way.
Since the file:line is most important, the column is less important and
the start token location suffices in many cases, this patch reverts

This patch adds a new llvm-mca flag named -print-imm-hex.
By default, the instruction printer prints immediate operands as decimals. Flag
-print-imm-hex enables the instruction printer to print those operands in hex.
This patch also adds support for MASM binary and hex literal numbers (example
0FFh, 101b).
Added tests to verify the behavior of the new flag. Tests also verify that masm
numeric literal operands are now recognized.

This patch fixes PR41523
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41523
Regions can now nest/overlap provided that they have different names.
Anonymous regions cannot overlap.
Region end markers must specify the region name. The only exception is for when
there is only one user-defined region; in that particular case, the region end
marker doesn't need to specify a name.
Incorrect region end markers are no longer ignored. Instead, the tool reports an
error and we exit with an error code.
Added test cases to verify the new diagnostic error messages.
Updated the llvm-mca docs to reflect this feature change.

This patch removes hidden codegen flag -print-schedule effectively reverting the
logic originally committed as r300311
(https://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=300311).
Flag -print-schedule was originally introduced by r300311 to address PR32216
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32216). That bug was about adding "Better
testing of schedule model instruction latencies/throughputs".
These days, we can use llvm-mca to test scheduling models. So there is no longer
a need for flag -print-schedule in LLVM. The main use case for PR32216 is
now addressed by llvm-mca.
Flag -print-schedule is mainly used for debugging purposes, and it is only
actually used by x86 specific tests. We already have extensive (latency and
throughput) tests under "test/tools/llvm-mca" for X86 processor models. That
means, most (if not all) existing -print-schedule tests for X86 are redundant.
When flag -print-schedule was first added to LLVM, several files had to be
modified; a few APIs gained new arguments (see for example method
MCAsmStreamer::EmitInstruction), and MCSubtargetInfo/TargetSubtargetInfo gained
a couple of getSchedInfoStr() methods.
Method getSchedInfoStr() had to originally work for both MCInst and
MachineInstr. The original implmentation of getSchedInfoStr() introduced a
subtle layering violation (reported as PR37160 and then fixed/worked-around by
r330615).
In retrospect, that new API could have been designed more optimally. We can
always query MCSchedModel to get the latency and throughput. More importantly,
the "sched-info" string should not have been generated by the subtarget.
Note, r317782 fixed an issue where "print-schedule" didn't work very well in the
presence of inline assembly. That commit is also reverted by this change.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
This patch introduces a CodeRegionGenerator class which is responsible for parsing some type of input and creating a 'CodeRegions' instance for use by llvm-mca. In the future, we will also have a CodeRegionGenerator subclass for converting an input object file into CodeRegions. For now, we only have the subclass for converting input assembly into CodeRegions.
This is mostly a NFC patch, as the logic remains close to the original, but now encapsulated in its own class and moved outside of llvm-mca.cpp.
