Jonathan Peyton 11dc82fa83 [STATS] Use partitioned timer scheme
This change removes the current timers with ones that partition time properly.
The current timers are nested, so that if a new timer, B, starts when the
current timer, A, is already timing, A's time will include B's. To eliminate
this problem, the partitioned timers are designed to stop the current timer (A),
let the new timer run (B), and when the new timer is finished, restart the
previously running timer (A). With this partitioning of time, a threads' timers
all sum up to the OMP_worker_thread_life time and can now easily show the
percentage of time a thread is spending in different parts of the runtime or
user code.

There is also a new state variable associated with each thread which tells where
it is executing a task. This corresponds with the timers: OMP_task_*, e.g., if
time is spent in OMP_task_taskwait, then that thread executed tasks inside a
#pragma omp taskwait construct.

The changes are mostly changing the MACROs to use the new PARITIONED_* macros,
the new partitionedTimers class and its methods, and new state logic.

               README for the LLVM* OpenMP* Runtime Library
               ============================================

How to Build Documentation
==========================

The main documentation is in Doxygen* format, and this distribution
should come with pre-built PDF documentation in doc/Reference.pdf.  
However, an HTML version can be built by executing:

% doxygen doc/doxygen/config 

in the runtime directory.

That will produce HTML documentation in the doc/doxygen/generated
directory, which can be accessed by pointing a web browser at the
index.html file there.

If you don't have Doxygen installed, you can download it from
www.doxygen.org.


How to Build the LLVM* OpenMP* Runtime Library
==============================================
In-tree build:

$ cd where-you-want-to-live
Check out openmp into llvm/projects
$ cd where-you-want-to-build
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake path/to/llvm -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ compiler>
$ make omp

Out-of-tree build:

$ cd where-you-want-to-live
Check out openmp
$ cd where-you-want-to-live/openmp/runtime
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake path/to/openmp -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ compiler>
$ make

For details about building, please look at Build_With_CMake.txt

Architectures Supported
=======================
* IA-32 architecture 
* Intel(R) 64 architecture
* Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture
* ARM* architecture
* Aarch64 (64-bit ARM) architecture
* IBM(R) Power architecture (big endian)
* IBM(R) Power architecture (little endian)

Supported RTL Build Configurations
==================================

Supported Architectures: IA-32 architecture, Intel(R) 64, and 
Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture

              ----------------------------------------------
              |   icc/icl     |    gcc      |   clang      |
--------------|---------------|----------------------------|
| Linux* OS   |   Yes(1,5)    |  Yes(2,4)   | Yes(4,6,7)   |
| FreeBSD*    |   No          |  No         | Yes(4,6,7,8) |
| OS X*       |   Yes(1,3,4)  |  No         | Yes(4,6,7)   |
| Windows* OS |   Yes(1,4)    |  No         | No           |
------------------------------------------------------------

(1) On IA-32 architecture and Intel(R) 64, icc/icl versions 12.x are 
    supported (12.1 is recommended).
(2) GCC* version 4.7 is supported.
(3) For icc on OS X*, OS X* version 10.5.8 is supported.
(4) Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture not supported.
(5) On Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture, icc/icl versions 13.0 
    or later are required.
(6) Clang* version 3.3 is supported.
(7) Clang* currently does not offer a software-implemented 128 bit extended 
    precision type.  Thus, all entry points reliant on this type are removed
    from the library and cannot be called in the user program.  The following
    functions are not available:
    __kmpc_atomic_cmplx16_*
    __kmpc_atomic_float16_*
    __kmpc_atomic_*_fp
(8) Community contribution provided AS IS, not tested by Intel.

Supported Architectures: IBM(R) Power 7 and Power 8

              -----------------------------
              |   gcc      |   clang      |
--------------|------------|--------------|
| Linux* OS   |  Yes(1,2)  | Yes(3,4)     |
-------------------------------------------

(1) On Power 7, gcc version 4.8.2 is supported.
(2) On Power 8, gcc version 4.8.2 is supported.
(3) On Power 7, clang version 3.7 is supported.
(4) On Power 8, clang version 3.7 is supported.


Front-end Compilers that work with this RTL
===========================================

The following compilers are known to do compatible code generation for
this RTL: clang (from the OpenMP development branch at
http://clang-omp.github.io/ ), Intel compilers, GCC.  See the documentation
for more details.
