[llvm-exegesis] Remove llvm prefix where unnecessary (#79802)

This patch removes the llvm:: prefix within llvm-exegesis where it is
not necessary. This is most occurrences of the prefix within exegesis as
exegesis is within the llvm namespace. This patch makes things more
consistent as the vast majority of the code did not use the llvm::
prefix for anything.

[llvm-exegesis] Refactor InstructionBenchmark to Benchmark

When llvm-exegesis was first introduced, it only supported benchmarking
individual instructions, hence the name for the data structure storing
the data corresponding to a benchmark being called InstructionBenchmark
made sense. However, now that benchmarking arbitrary snippets is
supported, InstructionBenchmark doesn't correspond to a single
instruction. This patch refactors InstructionBenchmark to be called
Benchmark to clean up this little bit of technical debt.

What was broken was:
- `Config` Was not propagated up until the BenchmarkResult::Key.
- Clustering should really consider different configs as measuring
different things, so we should stabilize on (Opcode, Config) instead of
just Opcode.

[NFC][llvm-exegesis] Refactor Analysis::SchedClassCluster::measurementsMatch()

Summary:
The diff looks scary but it really isn't:
1. I moved the check for the number of measurements into `SchedClassClusterCentroid::validate()`
2. While there, added a check that we can only have a single inverse throughput measurement. I missed that when adding it initially.
3. In `Analysis::SchedClassCluster::measurementsMatch()` is called with the current LLVM values from schedule class and the values from Centroid.
3.1. The values from centroid we can already get from `SchedClassClusterCentroid::getAsPoint()`.
This isn't 100% a NFC, because previously for inverse throughput we used `min()`. I have asked whether i have done that correctly in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D57647?id=184939#inline-510384 but did not hear back. I think `avg()` should be used too, thus it is a fix.
3.2. Finally, refactor the computation of the LLVM-specified values into `Analysis::SchedClassCluster::getSchedClassPoint()`
I will need that function for [[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41275 | PR41275 ]]

[llvm-exegesis] Introduce a 'naive' clustering algorithm (PR40880)

[llvm-exegesis] Introduce a 'naive' clustering algorithm (PR40880)

Summary:
This is an alternative to D59539.

Let's suppose we have measured 4 different opcodes, and got: `0.5`, `1.0`, `1.5`, `2.0`.
Let's suppose we are using `-analysis-clustering-epsilon=0.5`.
By default now we will start processing the `0.5` point, find that `1.0` is it's neighbor, add them to a new cluster.
Then we will notice that `1.5` is a neighbor of `1.0` and add it to that same cluster.
Then we will notice that `2.0` is a neighbor of `1.5` and add it to that same cluster.
So all these points ended up in the same cluster.
This may or may not be a correct implementation of dbscan clustering algorithm.

But this is rather horribly broken for the reasons of comparing the clusters with the LLVM sched data.
Let's suppose all those opcodes are currently in the same sched cluster.
If i specify `-analysis-inconsistency-epsilon=0.5`, then no matter
the LLVM values this cluster will **never** match the LLVM values,
and thus this cluster will **always** be displayed as inconsistent.

The solution is obviously to split off some of these opcodes into different sched cluster.
But how do i do that? Out of 4 opcodes displayed in the inconsistency report,
which ones are the "bad ones"? Which ones are the most different from the checked-in data?
I'd need to go in to the `.yaml` and look it up manually.

The trivial solution is to, when creating clusters, don't use the full dbscan algorithm,
but instead "pick some unclustered point, pick all unclustered points that are it's neighbor,
put them all into a new cluster, repeat". And just so as it happens, we can arrive
at that algorithm by not performing the "add neighbors of a neighbor to the cluster" step.

But that won't work well once we teach analyze mode to operate in on-1D mode
(i.e. on more than a single measurement type at a time), because the clustering would
depend on the order of the measurements.

Instead, let's just create a single cluster per opcode, and put all the points of that opcode into said cluster.
And simultaneously check that every point in that cluster is a neighbor of every other point in the cluster,
and if they are not, the cluster (==opcode) is unstable.

This is //yet another// step to bring me closer to being able to continue cleanup of bdver2 sched model..

Fixes [[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40880 | PR40880 ]].

[llvm-exegesis] Split Epsilon param into two (PR40787)

Summary:
This eps param is used for two distinct things:
* initial point clusterization
* checking clusters against the llvm values

What if one wants to only look at highly different clusters, without changing
the clustering itself? In particular, this helps to weed out noisy measurements
(since the clusterization epsilon is still small, so there is a better chance
that noisy measurements from the same opcode will go into different clusters)

By splitting it into two params it is now possible.

This is nearly-free performance-wise:

Now, this is all not entirely deterministic. Some instructions have variable
characteristics, depending on their arguments. And thus, if we do several
benchmarks of the same instruction `Opcode`, we may end up with *different*
performance characteristics measurements. And when we then do clustering,
these several benchmarks of the same instruction `Opcode` may end up being
clustered into *different* clusters. This is not great for further analysis.

We shall find every `Opcode` with benchmarks not in just one cluster, and move
*all* the benchmarks of said `Opcode` into one new unstable cluster per `Opcode`.

I have solved this by making `ClusterId` a bit field, adding a `IsUnstable` bit,
and introducing `-analysis-display-unstable-clusters` switch to toggle between
displaying stable-only clusters and unstable-only clusters.

The reclusterization is deterministically stable, produces identical reports
between runs. (Or at least that is what i'm seeing, maybe it isn't)

This tells us that the actual `-analysis-inconsistencies-output-file=` outputting only takes ~0.4 sec for 43970 benchmark points (3 whole sweeps)
(Also, wow this is fast, it used to take several minutes originally)

Update the file headers across all of the LLVM projects in the monorepo
to reflect the new license.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

[llvm-exegesis] Clustering: don't enqueue a point multiple times

Summary:
SetVector uses both DenseSet and vector, which is time/memory inefficient. The points are represented as natural numbers so we can replace the DenseSet part by indexing into a vector<char> instead.

Don't cargo cult the pseudocode on the wikipedia DBSCAN page. This is a standard BFS style algorithm (the similar loops have been used several times in other LLVM components): every point is processed at most once, thus the queue has at most NumPoints elements. We represent it with a vector and allocate it outside of the loop to avoid allocation in the loop body.

We check `Processed[P]` to avoid enqueueing a point more than once, which also nicely saves us a `ClusterIdForPoint_[Q].isUndef()` check.

Many people hate the oneshot abstraction but some favor it, therefore we make a compromise, use a lambda to abstract away the neighbor adding process.

Delete the comment `assert(Neighbors.capacity() == (Points_.size() - 1));` as it is wrong.

[llvm-exegesis] (+final perf overview) InstructionBenchmarkClustering::rangeQuery(): reserve for the upper bound of Neighbors

Summary:
As it was pointed out in D54388+D54390, the maximal size of `Neighbors` is known,
it will contain at most Points_.size() minus one (the center of the cluster)

While that is the upper bound, meaning in the most cases, the actual count
will be much smaller, since D54390 made the allocation persistent,
we no longer have to worry about overly-optimistically `reserve()`ing.

And that is another -~4%.


Since this is the last (as of this moment) patch in this patch series,
it is a good time to summarize:
Old: (svn trunk, as stated in D54381)
```
$ time ./bin/llvm-exegesis -mode=analysis -analysis-epsilon=100000 -benchmarks-file=/tmp/benchmarks.yaml -analysis-inconsistencies-output-file=/tmp/clusters.html &> /dev/null

real 0m24.884s
user 0m24.099s
sys 0m0.785s
```
So these patches, on a given benchmark,
has decreased llvm-exegesis analysis time by 74.62%.

There surely is more room for further improvements.
D54514 may improve thins by -11.5% more (relative to this patch).
Parallelization may improve things further significantly, too.
