Summary:
Show that the SSA restrictions imply that the blocks can be
topologically sorted so that any use of a variable follows its
definition in the list of blocks. This showed a slight flaw in my
definition of SSA form. It used to treat program counters up to
equality. However, PCs that point to a block header contain the location
that control came from (so that the Phi instructions can be executed),
but the SSA restrictions shouldn't pay attention to that, so now the
definition of SSA introduces a equivalence on PCs that ignores that
additional information.

Summary:
The LLVM->LLAIR translation keeps a mapping of variables to expressions.
Previously, the invariants related to that mapping were kept in the
state relation, and so the proof needed show that they were preserved
along execution traces. This wasn't obvious as the state changes in
non-SSA ways during evaluation, but the correctness of the mappings is
heavily based on the program being in SSA form. This change separates
out the invariants, and the proof uses the final mapping that the
compiler builds, which contains all of the relevant bindings that might
be needed during execution.

Summary:
This commit adds truncation, sign extension and zero extension to LLVM
and the Convert instruction to LLAIR.
The LLVM instructions use HOL's build-in word/int and word/num
conversions. Sanity-checking theorems prove that zero-extending leaves
the value of the word unchanged when considered as an unsigned value,
and that sign-extending leaves the value unchanged when considered as a
signed value.
The llair semantics for Convert uses the truncate_2comp function which
converts an integer to another integer as though they were represented
in 2's complement. e.g. truncate_2comp 255 16 = 255, truncate_2comp
255 8 = -1, truncate_2comp -3 2 = 1

The old syntactic invariant in prog_ok was in the wrong direction,

Summary:
This required some minor tweaks to how the semantics encode values into
and out of byte lists. The remaining problems have to do with how LLVM
globals are translated into llair. At the moment, llair semantic's state
keeps a mapping for globals to their addresses, following the LLVM
semantics. However, it is not used because the translation (following
the code in frontend.ml) translates LLVM globals into llair locals,
which the llair semantics isn't set up to handle.

Summary:
Previously, the LLVM semantics could be stuck where the LLAIR semantics
was not yet stuck, but would become stuck (at the same place) after
taking a step. This was due to LLVM using the traditional definition of
stuck states: any state from which there are no transitions. However,
LLAIR cannot do that because it might get stuck in the middle of a block
that contains several visible stores. We don't want to consider the
whole block stuck, nor can we finish it. Thus, the LLAIR definition of
stuckness is when the state has the stuck flag set which happens when
stopping in the middle of a block after encountering a stuck
instruction. Now LLVM takes the same approach.

Summary:
Add an argument to the Exit instruction. Update the LLVM semantics to
execute the Exit instruction and store the result in an "exited"
component of the state. (Previously it just noticed that it was stuck
about to do an Exit.)
With exiting treated uniformly, now in the proof that for every LLVM
trace, there is a llair trace that simulates it, all of the cheats
except for 1 are just cases that I haven't got to yet. However, the last
cheat is for the situation where the LLVM program gets stuck and the
llair program doesn't. For example, the following two line LLVM program
gets stuck because r2 is not assigned (ignoring for the moment the static
restriction that LLVM is in SSA form).
r1 := r2
Exit(0)
The compilation to llair omits the assignment and so we get a llair
program that doesn't get stuck:
Exit(0)
The key question is whether the static restrictions are sufficient to
ensure that no expression that might be omitted can get stuck.

Summary:
If the LLVM to llair translation keeps a mapping from register r to
expression e, then for each register r' mentioned in e, there must be an
assignment to r' that dominates the entire live range of r. Thus, where
ever r might be replaced by e, the value of r' will be the same as it
was when the initial assignment to r occurred. Maintaining this
invariant relies on the LLVM being in SSA form.

Summary:
This is work in progress; many of the cheats aren't true. In particular,
the definition of stuck/complete/partial traces in LLVM and llair don't
quite match up and need some modification. Also, the state relation
isn't strong enough; it will need to include information about registers
used in the expressions of the LLVM register to llair expression
mapping. But the overall shape of the proof is ok and so it can be
used to poke at various local aspects of the translation, such as
individual instructions.

Summary:
This includes a few changes and corrections to the semantics, to support
the translation. This initial attempt to reason about LLVM -> llair
showed three things that needed repair in the semantics, in addition to
various bugs. We address them as follows.
Refactor llair semantics to have only a single kind of flat value:
integers that fit into specified bit widths. Operations on size values
(e.g., offsets, indices and the like) can just take an integer and
ignore its number of bits. Pointers can just be considered integers that
fit into a certain size given by the constant pointer_size. Later on we
can consider making this a parameter to the model.
Change the generic memory model interface to use numbers rather than
words as the generic encoding of a large value. This makes it more
useful for llair where words are not used.
Pay more careful attention to signed/unsigned issues. Neither LLVM nor
llair have a concept of signed vs unsigned value. Instead individual
operations interpret bit patterns in various ways, some of which are
ambiguous in the LLVM manual. For example, since getelementpointer's
indices are explicitly said to be interpreted as signed 2's complement,
we should probably do the same for insertvalue and extractvalue. However
it is not clear how the argument to alloca is to be interpreted. For now
we assume signed.
