bugfix-only release, with no new features.
Please note that from 3.5.0 onwards, clang and llvm require C++11
support to build; see UPDATING for more information.
[PowerPC] Add JMP_SLOT relocation definitions
This will be required by upcoming patches for LLDB support.
Patch by Justin Hibbits!
Pull in r221510 from upstream llvm trunk (by Justin Hibbits):
Add Position-independent Code model Module API.
Summary:
This makes PIC levels a Module flag attribute, which can be queried by the
backend. The flag is named `PIC Level`, and can have a value of:
0 - Backend-default
1 - Small-model (-fpic)
2 - Large-model (-fPIC)
These match the `-pic-level' command line argument for clang, and the value of the
preprocessor macro `__PIC__'.
Test Plan:
New flags tests specific for the 'PIC Level' module flag.
Tests to be added as part of a future commit for PowerPC, which will use this new API.

Pull in r221791 from upstream llvm trunk (by Justin Hibbits):
Add support for small-model PIC for PowerPC.
Summary:
Large-model was added first. With the addition of support for multiple PIC
models in LLVM, now add small-model PIC for 32-bit PowerPC, SysV4 ABI. This
generates more optimal code, for shared libraries with less than about 16380
data objects.
Test Plan: Test cases added or updated

Together, these changes implement small-model PIC support for PowerPC.
Thanks to Justin Hibbits and Roman Divacky for their assistance in
getting this working.
all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++
standard, provisionally named C++1y.
The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3. The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.

ISelDAG: spot chain cycles involving MachineNodes
Previously, the DAGISel function WalkChainUsers was spotting that it
had entered already-selected territory by whether a node was a
MachineNode (amongst other things). Since it's fairly common practice
to insert MachineNodes during ISelLowering, this was not the correct
check.
Looking around, it seems that other nodes get their NodeId set to -1
upon selection, so this makes sure the same thing happens to all
MachineNodes and uses that characteristic to determine whether we
should stop looking for a loop during selection.
This should fix PR15840.
Specifically, this fixes the long-standing assertion failure when
compiling the multimedia/gstreamer port on i386. Thanks to Tijl
Coosemans for his help in getting upstream to fix it.
