Dimitry Andric bd74205d6a Regenerate ReStructuredText based manpages for llvm-project tools:
* bugpoint.1
* clang.1
* llc.1
* lldb.1
* lli.1
* llvm-ar.1
* llvm-as.1
* llvm-bcanalyzer.1
* llvm-cov.1
* llvm-diff.1
* llvm-dis.1
* llvm-dwarfdump.1
* llvm-extract.1
* llvm-link.1
* llvm-mca.1
* llvm-nm.1
* llvm-pdbutil.1
* llvm-profdata.1
* llvm-symbolizer.1
* llvm-tblgen.1
* opt.1

Add newly generated manpages for:

* llvm-addr2line.1 (this is an alias of llvm-symbolizer)
* llvm-cxxfilt.1
* llvm-objcopy.1
* llvm-ranlib.1 (this is an alias of llvm-ar)

Note that llvm-objdump.1 is an exception, as upstream has both a plain
.1 file, and a .rst variant. These will have to be reconciled upstream
first.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBllc\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIfilename\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBllc\fP command compiles LLVM source inputs into assembly language
for a specified architecture. The assembly language output can then be passed
through a native assembler and linker to generate a native executable.
.sp
The choice of architecture for the output assembly code is automatically
determined from the input file, unless the \fI\%\-march\fP option is used to
override the default.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
If \fBfilename\fP is "\fB\-\fP" or omitted, \fBllc\fP reads from standard input.
Otherwise, it will from \fBfilename\fP\&. Inputs can be in either the LLVM assembly
language format (\fB\&.ll\fP) or the LLVM bitcode format (\fB\&.bc\fP).
.sp
If the \fI\%\-o\fP option is omitted, then \fBllc\fP will send its output
to standard output if the input is from standard input. If the \fI\%\-o\fP
option specifies "\fB\-\fP", then the output will also be sent to standard output.
.sp
If no \fI\%\-o\fP option is specified and an input file other than "\fB\-\fP" is
specified, then \fBllc\fP creates the output filename by taking the input
filename, removing any existing \fB\&.bc\fP extension, and adding a \fB\&.s\fP suffix.
.sp
Other \fBllc\fP options are described below.

Use \fB<filename>\fP as the output filename. See the summary above for more
details.
.UNINDENT

.TP
.B \-march=<arch>
Specify the architecture for which to generate assembly, overriding the target
encoded in the input file. See the output of \fBllc \-help\fP for a list of
valid architectures. By default this is inferred from the target triple or
autodetected to the current architecture.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-mcpu=<cpuname>
Specify a specific chip in the current architecture to generate code for.
By default this is inferred from the target triple and autodetected to
the current architecture. For a list of available CPUs, use:

.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
llvm\-as < /dev/null | llc \-march=xyz \-mcpu=help

.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-filetype=<output file type>
Specify what kind of output \fBllc\fP should generated. Options are: \fBasm\fP
for textual assembly ( \fB\(aq.s\(aq\fP), \fBobj\fP for native object files (\fB\(aq.o\(aq\fP)
and \fBnull\fP for not emitting anything (for performance testing).
.sp
Note that not all targets support all options.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-mattr=a1,+a2,\-a3,...
Override or control specific attributes of the target, such as whether SIMD
operations are enabled or not. The default set of attributes is set by the
current CPU. For a list of available attributes, use:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5

Specify effect of frame pointer elimination optimization (all,non\-leaf,none).
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-disable\-excess\-fp\-precision
Disable optimizations that may produce excess precision for floating point.
Note that this option can dramatically slow down code on some systems
(e.g. X86).

addition is associative) or may not work for all input ranges. These
optimizations allow the code generator to make use of some instructions which
would otherwise not be usable (such as \fBfsin\fP on X86).
.UNINDENT

.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-load=<dso_path>
Dynamically load \fBdso_path\fP (a path to a dynamically shared object) that
implements an LLVM target. This will permit the target name to be used with
