[lit] Optionally exclude xfail tests (#151191) See the related issue. We want to set up a build bot where `opt` runs with `-enable-profcheck`, which inserts `MD_prof` before running the rest of the pipeline requested from `opt`, and then validates resulting profile information (more info in the RFC linked by the aforementioned issue) In that setup, we will also ignore `FileCheck`: while the profile info inserted is, currently, equivalent to the profile info a pass would observe via `BranchProbabilityInfo`/`BlockFrequencyInfo`, (1) we may want to change that, and (2) some tests are quite sensitive to the output IR, and break if, for instance, extra metadata is present (which it would be due to `-enable-profcheck`). Since we're just interested in profile consistency on the upcoming bot, ignoring `FileCheck` is simpler and sufficient. However, this has the effect of passing XFAIL tests. Rather than listing them all, the alternative is to just exclude XFAIL tests. This PR adds support for that by introducing a `--exclude-xfail` option to `llvm-lit`. Issue #147390
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
