Fixes PR27241 by enabling the X86 call frame optimization for 64-bit targets

Details

Summary

The source changes are fairly straightforward. The most interesting change is the new code at lines 489-499 that promotes a 32-bit value to 64 bits. I'd appreciate a careful review to make sure I am doing that correctly.

I would also appreciate any suggestions for improving the unit test. I modeled the test after the existing movtopush.ll that was written for 32-bit targets. I am testing all the same things, though naturally the details are different due to differences between the calling conventions.

Not surprisingly, the code size improvements are small compared to IA-32 due the in-register 64-bit calling convention. I measured 0.2% improvement across cpu2k. Performance is basically flat. There are further improvement opportunities, e.g. adding support for scheduling the pushes and relaxing the early bail-out at line 351.

In case it isn't immediately obvious, removing "const" here is necessary due to the calls to MRI->createVirtualRegister at lines 492-493.

I'm a little concerned that this will uncover broken unwinders, but we can find out.

Can you also test that this is disabled on Darwin? You may need to modify the IR to add uwtable attributes, but I think that condition is worth testing.

This looks great as far as I can tell! Thanks

Thanks for the reviews, Reid and Hans!

I updated the test to check that the optimization works as expected for Darwin64, which means that it is allowed for routines that use a frame pointer and have no EH (so that the pushes don't require additional unwind info) but disallowed otherwise. The 32-bit test movtopush.ll could also use some Darwin specific testing. I can do that separately.

Reid, if you have any suggestions for how to find/fix broken unwinders prior to commit, I would be happy to try them.

The extra "-check-prefix=DARWIN" here was inadvertent. I'll remove it.

I'm not familiar enough with MI to say if this is the best way to express this, but you have tests for it and that gives me confidence that it works.

Thanks, Dave!

Re 32-bit Darwin testing, note that there's already some of that in push-cfi.ll. Perhaps it's worth just merging the tests.
