accordingly. NFC.
Summary:
This patch introduces llvm-mca as a library. The driver (llvm-mca.cpp), views, and stats, are not part of the library.
Those are separate components that are not required for the functioning of llvm-mca.
The directory has been organized as follows:
All library source files now reside in:
- `lib/HardwareUnits/` - All subclasses of HardwareUnit (these represent the simulated hardware components of a backend).
(LSUnit does not inherit from HardwareUnit, but Scheduler does which uses LSUnit).
- `lib/Stages/` - All subclasses of the pipeline stages.
- `lib/` - This is the root of the library and contains library code that does not fit into the Stages or HardwareUnit subdirs.
All library header files now reside in the `include` directory and mimic the same layout as the `lib` directory mentioned above.
In the (near) future we would like to move the library (include and lib) contents from tools and into the core of llvm somewhere.
That change would allow various analysis and optimization passes to make use of MCA functionality for things like cost modeling.
I left all of the non-library code just where it has always been, in the root of the llvm-mca directory.
The include directives for the non-library source file have been updated to refer to the llvm-mca library headers.
I updated the llvm-mca/CMakeLists.txt file to include the library headers, but I made the non-library code
explicitly reference the library's 'include' directory. Once we eventually (hopefully) migrate the MCA library
components into llvm the include directives used by the non-library source files will be updated to point to the
proper location in llvm.

This patch changes how instruction execution is orchestrated by the Pipeline.
In particular, this patch makes it more explicit how instructions transition
through the various pipeline stages during execution.
The main goal is to simplify both the stage API and the Pipeline execution. At
the same time, this patch fixes some design issues which are currently latent,
but that are likely to cause problems in future if people start defining custom
pipelines.
The new design assumes that each pipeline stage knows the "next-in-sequence".
The Stage API has gained three new methods:
- isAvailable(IR)
- checkNextStage(IR)
- moveToTheNextStage(IR).
An instruction IR can be executed by a Stage if method `Stage::isAvailable(IR)`
returns true.
Instructions can move to next stages using method moveToTheNextStage(IR).
An instruction cannot be moved to the next stage if method checkNextStage(IR)
(called on the current stage) returns false.
Stages are now responsible for moving instructions to the next stage in sequence
if necessary.
Instructions are allowed to transition through multiple stages during a single
cycle (as long as stages are available, and as long as all the calls to
`checkNextStage(IR)` returns true).
Methods `Stage::preExecute()` and `Stage::postExecute()` have now become
redundant, and those are removed by this patch.
Method Pipeline::runCycle() is now simpler, and it correctly visits stages
on every begin/end of cycle.
Other changes:
- DispatchStage no longer requires a reference to the Scheduler.
- ExecuteStage no longer needs to directly interact with the
RetireControlUnit. Instead, executed instructions are now directly moved to the
next stage (i.e. the retire stage).
- RetireStage gained an execute method. This allowed us to remove the
dependency with the RCU in ExecuteStage.
- FecthStage now updates the "program counter" during cycleBegin() (i.e.
before we start executing new instructions).
- We no longer need Stage::Status to be returned by method execute(). It has
been dropped in favor of a more lightweight llvm::Error.
Overally, I measured a ~11% performance gain w.r.t. the previous design. I also
think that the Stage interface is probably easier to read now. That being said,
code comments have to be improved, and I plan to do it in a follow-up patch.

Summary:
This patch introduces error handling to propagate the errors from llvm-mca library classes (or what will become library classes) up to the driver. This patch also introduces an enum to make clearer the intention of the return value for Stage::execute.
This supports PR38101.

Summary:
This patch converts the InstructionTables class into a subclass of mca::Stage. This change allows us to use the Stage's inherited Listeners for event notifications. This also allows us to create a simple pipeline for viewing the InstructionTables report.
I have been working on a follow on patch that should cleanup addView in InstructionTables. Right now, addView adds the view to both the Listener list and Views list. The follow-on patch addresses the fact that we don't really need two lists in this case. That change is not specific to just InstructionTables, so it will be a separate patch.

This should fix the stack-use-after-scope reported by the asan buildbots after
revision 328493.

pressure distribution for instructions (PR36874)
The goal of this patch is to address most of PR36874. To fully fix PR36874 we
need to split the "InstructionInfo" view from the "SummaryView". That would make
easy to check the latency and rthroughput as well.
The patch reuses all the logic from ResourcePressureView to print out the
"instruction tables".
We have an entry for every instruction in the input sequence. Each entry reports
the theoretical resource pressure distribution. Resource pressure is uniformly
distributed across all the processor resource units of a group.
At the moment, the backend pipeline is not configurable, so the only way to fix
this is by creating a different driver that simply sends instruction events to
the resource pressure view. That means, we don't use the Backend interface.
Instead, it is simpler to just have a different code-path for when flag
-instruction-tables is specified.
Once Clement addresses bug 36663, then we can port the "instruction tables"
logic into a stage of our configurable pipeline.
Updated the BtVer2 test cases (thanks Simon for the help). Now we pass flag
-instruction-tables to each modified test.
