This commit modifies the way the machine basic blocks are serialized - now the
machine basic blocks are serialized using a custom syntax instead of relying on
YAML primitives. Instead of using YAML mappings to represent the individual
machine basic blocks in a machine function's body, the new syntax uses a single
YAML block scalar which contains all of the machine basic blocks and
instructions for that function.
This is an example of a function's body that uses the old syntax:
body:
- id: 0
name: entry
instructions:
- '%eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags'
- 'RETQ %eax'
...
The same body is now written like this:
body: |
bb.0.entry:
%eax = MOV32r0 implicit-def %eflags
RETQ %eax
...
This syntax change is motivated by the fact that the bundled machine
instructions didn't map that well to the old syntax which was using a single
YAML sequence to store all of the machine instructions in a block. The bundled
machine instructions internally use flags like BundledPred and BundledSucc to
determine the bundles, and serializing them as MI flags using the old syntax
would have had a negative impact on the readability and the ease of editing
for MIR files. The new syntax allows me to serialize the bundled machine
instructions using a block construct without relying on the internal flags,
for example:
BUNDLE implicit-def dead %itstate, implicit-def %s1 ... {
t2IT 1, 24, implicit-def %itstate
%s1 = VMOVS killed %s0, 1, killed %cpsr, implicit killed %itstate
}
This commit also converts the MIR testcases to the new syntax. I developed
a script that can convert from the old syntax to the new one. I will post the
script on the llvm-commits mailing list in the thread for this commit.

This commit serializes the UsedPhysRegMask register mask from the machine
register information class. The mask is serialized as an inverted
'calleeSavedRegisters' mask to keep the output minimal.
This commit also allows the MIR parser to infer this mask from the register
mask operands if the machine function doesn't specify it.

The block address machine operands can reference IR blocks in other functions.
This commit fixes a bug where the references to unnamed IR blocks in other
functions weren't serialized correctly.

This commit implements the initial serialization of the machine operand target
flags. It extends the 'TargetInstrInfo' class to add two new methods that help
to provide text based serialization for the target flags.
This commit can serialize only the X86 target flags, and the target flags for
the other targets will be serialized in the follow-up commits.

This commit serializes the offset for the following operands: target index,
global address, external symbol, constant pool index, and block address.

This commit removes an outdated TODO comment and a corresponding assertion
which asserts that the mir printer can't the print machine basic blocks that
aren't sequentially numbered.
This comment and assertion were correct when I was working on the patch which
serialized the machine basic blocks, but then I decided to add an 'ID'
attribute to the machine basic block's YAML mapping based on the patch review.
This comment and assertion then became invalid as with the 'ID' attribute we
can serialize the non sequential machine basic blocks and their references
without any problems.

This commit serializes the references from the machine basic blocks to the
unnamed basic blocks.
This commit adds a new attribute to the machine basic block's YAML mapping
called 'ir-block'. This attribute contains the actual reference to the
basic block.

This commit serializes the callee saved information from the class
'MachineFrameInfo'. This commit extends the YAML mappings for the fixed and
the ordinary stack objects and adds an optional 'callee-saved-register'
attribute. This attribute is used to serialize the callee save information.

This commit serializes the virtual register allocations hints of type 0.
These hints specify the preferred physical registers for allocations.

This commit begins serialization of the CFI index machine operands by
serializing one kind of CFI instruction - the .cfi_def_cfa_offset instruction.

This commit implements the initial serialization of machine constant pools and
the constant pool index machine operands. The constant pool is serialized using
a YAML sequence of YAML mappings that represent the constant values.
The target-specific constant pool items aren't serialized by this commit.
