Ayman Musa 993339b941 [X86][TableGen] Recommitting the X86 memory folding tables TableGen backend while disabling it by default.
After the original commit ([[ https://reviews.llvm.org/rL304088 | rL304088 ]]) was reverted, a discussion in llvm-dev was opened on 'how to accomplish this task'.
In the discussion we concluded that the best way to achieve our goal (which is to automate the folding tables and remove the manually maintained tables) is:

 # Commit the tablegen backend disabled by default.

 # Proceed with an incremental updating of the manual tables - while checking the validity of each added entry.

 # Repeat previous step until we reach a state where the generated and the manual tables are identical. Then we can safely remove the manual tables and include the generated tables instead.

 # Schedule periodical (1 week/2 weeks/1 month) runs of the pass:

   - if changes appear (new entries):
      - make sure the entries are legal
      - If they are not, mark them as illegal to folding
   - Commit the changes (if there are any).

CMake flag added for this purpose is "X86_GEN_FOLD_TABLES". Building with this flags will run the pass and emit the X86GenFoldTables.inc file under build/lib/Target/X86/ directory which is a good reference for any developer who wants to take part in the effort of completing the current folding tables.

#define LLVM_UTILS_TABLEGEN_TABLEGENBACKENDS_H
// A TableGen backend is a function that looks like
//
// EmitFoo(RecordKeeper &RK, raw_ostream &OS /*, anything else you need */ )
//
// What you do inside of that function is up to you, but it will usually
// involve generating C++ code to the provided raw_ostream.
//
// The RecordKeeper is just a top-level container for an in-memory
// representation of the data encoded in the TableGen file. What a TableGen
// backend does is walk around that in-memory representation and generate
// stuff based on the information it contains.
//
// The in-memory representation is a node-graph (think of it like JSON but
// with a richer ontology of types), where the nodes are subclasses of
// Record. The methods `getClass`, `getDef` are the basic interface to
// access the node-graph. RecordKeeper also provides a handy method
// `getAllDerivedDefinitions`. Consult "include/llvm/TableGen/Record.h" for
// the exact interfaces provided by Record's and RecordKeeper.
//
// A common pattern for TableGen backends is for the EmitFoo function to
// instantiate a class which holds some context for the generation process,
// and then have most of the work happen in that class's methods. This
// pattern partly has historical roots in the previous TableGen backend API
// that involved a class and an invocation like `FooEmitter(RK).run(OS)`.
//
// Remember to wrap private things in an anonymous namespace. For most
// backends, this means that the EmitFoo function is the only thing not in
// the anonymous namespace.
// FIXME: Reorganize TableGen so that build dependencies can be more
// accurately expressed. Currently, touching any of the emitters (or
// anything that they transitively depend on) causes everything dependent
// on TableGen to be rebuilt (this includes all the targets!). Perhaps have
// a standalone TableGen binary and have the backends be loadable modules
// of some sort; then the dependency could be expressed as being on the
// module, and all the modules would have a common dependency on the
// TableGen binary with as few dependencies as possible on the rest of
// LLVM.
