[RISCV] Support @llvm.readcyclecounter() Intrinsic
On RISC-V, the `cycle` CSR holds a 64-bit count of the number of clock cycles executed by the core, from an arbitrary point in the past. This matches the intended semantics of `@llvm.readcyclecounter()`, which we currently leave to the default lowering (to the constant 0). With this patch, we will now correctly lower this intrinsic to the intended semantics, using the user-space instruction `rdcycle`. On 64-bit targets, we can directly lower to this instruction. On 32-bit targets, we need to do more, as `rdcycle` only returns the low 32-bits of the `cycle` CSR. In this case, we perform a custom lowering, based on the PowerPC lowering, using `rdcycleh` to obtain the high 32-bits of the `cycle` CSR. This custom lowering inserts a new basic block which detects overflow in the high 32-bits of the `cycle` CSR during reading (because multiple instructions are required to read). The emitted assembly matches the suggested assembly in the RISC-V specification. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D64125 llvm-svn: 365201
