MaskRay added a comment.

I am still trying to understand the patch. Just made some comments about the 
tests.



================
Comment at: llvm/include/llvm/MC/MCFragment.h:663
+  enum SubType : uint8_t {
+    // BranchPadding - The variable size fragment to insert NOP before branch.
+    BranchPadding,
----------------
Don’t duplicate function or class name at the beginning of the comment 
(`BranchPadding - `). (ref: 
https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#doxygen-use-in-documentation-comments)


================
Comment at: llvm/include/llvm/MC/MCFragment.h:674
+    FusedJccPadding,
+    // HardCodeBegin - The zero size fragment to mark the begin of the sequence
+    // of hard code
----------------
Full stop.


================
Comment at: llvm/include/llvm/MC/MCFragment.h:709
+    switch (SubKind) {
+    default:
+      llvm_unreachable("Unknown subtype of MCMachineDependentFragment");
----------------
Move llvm_unreachable below the switch, otherwise clang will give a warning:

  warning: default label in switch which covers all enumera
tion values [-Wcovered-switch-default]

Unfortunately all GCC (even 9) -Wall will warn `warning: control reaches end of 
non-void function [-Wreturn-type]` unless you place an unreachable statement.


================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Target/X86/MCTargetDesc/X86AsmBackend.cpp:537
+  // Linker may rewrite the instruction with variant symbol operand.
+  if(hasVariantSymbol(Inst)) return false;
+
----------------
Space after `if`


================
Comment at: llvm/test/MC/X86/x86-64-align-branch-1a.s:1
+# Check option --x86-branches-within-32B-boundaries is equivalent to the 
combination of options --x86-align-branch-boundary=32 
--x86-align-branch=fused+jcc+jmp  --x86-align-branch-prefix-size=5
+# RUN: llvm-mc -filetype=obj -triple x86_64-unknown-unknown 
--x86-branches-within-32B-boundaries %s | llvm-objdump -d  - > %t
----------------
1a~1g use the same source file. Move the source to `Inputs/align-branch-1-64.s`

According to the local naming convention, this test should probably be renamed 
to `align-branch-1-64.s`

+# CHECK-NEXT:        8: 2e 55                            pushq   %rbp
----------------
I think 1a.s and 1b.s should be merged. FileCheck supports

--check-prefixes=CHECK,PREFIX5
--check-prefixes=CHECK,PREFIX1

```
CHECK: common part
CHECK-NEXT: common part
PREFIX5:
PREFIX5-NEXT:
PREFIX1:
PREFIX1-NEXT:
CHECK:
CHECK-NEXT:
```

```

```

Is there performance benefit to add 4 prefixes to the same instruction?


================
Comment at: llvm/test/MC/X86/x86-64-align-branch-1c.s:2
+# Check only fused conditional jumps and conditional jumps are aligned with 
option --x86-align-branch-boundary=32 --x86-align-branch=fused+jcc  
--x86-align-branch-prefix-size=5
+# RUN: llvm-mc -filetype=obj -triple x86_64-unknown-unknown 
--x86-align-branch-boundary=32 --x86-align-branch=fused+jcc  
--x86-align-branch-prefix-size=5 %s | llvm-objdump -d  - | FileCheck %s
+
----------------
The difference between 1a and 1c is that 1c does not allow "jmp", but in 1a no 
jmp instructions get a prefix in the test, so it is unclear why 1c has 
different output.

================
Comment at: llvm/test/MC/X86/x86-64-align-branch-1e.s:46
+# CHECK-NEXT:       5c: eb 27                            jmp     {{.*}}
+# CHECK-NEXT:       5e: 90                               nop
+# CHECK-NEXT:       5f: 90                               nop
----------------
This is weird. Comparing this with 1d, 1e allows more instruction types, yet it 
inserts two NOPs which actually seems to degrade performance.


================
Comment at: llvm/test/MC/X86/x86-64-align-branch-1f.s:8
+
+# CHECK: Disassembly of section .text:
+# CHECK: 0000000000000000 foo:
----------------
No disassembly is needed. Just check that `--x86-align-branch-boundary=0` and 
the default (no x86- specific options) have the identical output (`cmp %t %t2`)


================
Comment at: llvm/test/MC/X86/x86-64-align-branch-1g.s:1
+# RUN: llvm-mc -filetype=obj -triple x86_64-unknown-unknown 
--x86-align-branch-boundary=32 -mcpu=x86-64 --x86-align-branch=jcc+jmp  
--x86-align-branch-prefix-size=5 %s | llvm-objdump -d  - | FileCheck %s
+
----------------
Merge 1e and 1g. State that `-mcpu=x86-64` generates `66 90` instead of `90 90` 
(but why?)

Delete `Disassembly of section .text:`
