Missing info on assumptions/limitations #5

The tool consumes post-link binaries. In general, even finding instruction boundaries on x86 isn't exactly solvable, let alone deciding basic block boundaries, safety of reordering, etc. Thus, the tool obviously makes a lot of assumptions about input, or, in other words, has limitations w.r.t which programs can be correctly transformed.

The EuroLLVM'2016 presentation on BOLT has a brief enumeration of (some?) limitations, so evidently the issues were realized, but unfortunately neither the README nor the initial Facebook article make no mention of them.

It would be nice to have a description of the class of programs to which BOLT may be applied safely.

Also, if BOLT implementation has built-in safeguards for deciding "can't touch this code", it would be nice to know how they operate, too.

It's a really good suggestion. Thank you. We'll add the detailed requirements.

The README now lists general input binary requirements. If you have specific questions please let me know.

Segmentation fault in ompt_tsan_dependences function due to an unchecked NULL pointer dereference is as follows:

	ThreadSanitizer can not provide additional info.
	SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: SEGV /ptmp/bhararit/llvm-project/openmp/tools/archer/ompt-tsan.cpp:1004 in ompt_tsan_dependences(ompt_data_t*, ompt_dependence_t const*, int)
	==140865==ABORTING
```

	To reproduce the error, use the following openmp code snippet:

```
/* initialise  testMatrixInt Matrix, cols, r and c */
	  #pragma omp parallel private(r,c) shared(testMatrixInt)
	    {
	      #pragma omp for ordered(2)
	      for (r=1; r < rows; r++) {
	        for (c=1; c < cols; c++) {
	          #pragma omp ordered depend(sink:r-1, c+1) depend(sink:r-1,c-1)
	          testMatrixInt[r][c] = (testMatrixInt[r-1][c] + testMatrixInt[r-1][c-1]) % cols ;
	          #pragma omp ordered depend (source)
	        }
	      }
	    }
```

	Compilation:
```
clang -g -stdlib=libc++ -fsanitize=thread -fopenmp -larcher test_case.c
```

	It seems like the changes introduced by the commit https://reviews.llvm.org/D114005 causes this particular SEGV while using Archer.
