This patch attempts to reland
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/120780 while addressing the
issues that caused the patch to be reverted.
Namely:
1. The patch had included code from the llvm/Passes directory in the
llvm/CodeGen directory.
2. The patch increased the backend compile time by 2% due to adding a
very expensive include in MachineFunctionPass.h
The patch has been re-structured so that there is no dependency between
the llvm/Passes and llvm/CodeGen directory, by moving the base class,
`class DroppedVariableStats` to the llvm/IR directory.
The expensive include in MachineFunctionPass.h has been changed to
contain forward declarations instead of other header includes which was
pulling a ton of code into MachineFunctionPass.h and should resolve any
issues when it comes to compile time increase.
