This patch adjusts what location is picked for a known variable value --
preferring to leave locations on the stack, even when a value is re-loaded
into a register. The benefit is reduced location list entropy, on a
clang-3.4 build I found that .debug_loclists reduces in size by 6%, from
29Mb down to 27Mb.
Testing: a few tests need the stack slot to be written to explicitly, to
force LiveDebugValues into restoring the variable location to a register.
I've added an explicit test for the desired behaviour in
livedebugvalues_recover_clobbers.mir .

This new-ish LEA-fixup code path creates two substitutions for an
instruction number -- this is incorrect because each Value should be
replaced by a single replacement Value. Fix by deleting the duplicate
substitution. Add some test coverage for this path with debug-info

It's inevitable that optimisation passes will fail to update debug-info:
when that happens, it's best if the compiler doesn't crash as a result.
Therefore, downgrade a few assertions / failure modes that would crash
when illegal debug-info was seen, to instead drop variable locations. In
practice this means that an instruction reference to a nonexistant or
illegal operand should be tolerated.

This is a follow-up to D117877: variable assignments of DBG_VALUE $noreg,
or DBG_INSTR_REFs where no value can be found, are represented by a
DbgValue object with Kind "Undef", explicitly meaning "there is no value".
In D117877 I added a special-case to some assignment accounting faster,
without considering this scenario. It causes variables to be given the
value ValueIDNum::EmptyValue, which then ends up being a DenseMap key. The
DenseMap asserts, because EmptyValue is the tombstone key.
Fix this by handling the assign-undef scenario in the special case, to
match what happens in the general case: the variable has no value if it's
only ever assigned $noreg / undef.

[DebugInfo][InstrRef] Add a max-stack-slots-to-track cut-out
In certain circumstances with things like autogenerated code and asan, you
can end up with thousands of Values live at the same time, causing a large
working set and a lot of information spilled to the stack. Unfortunately
InstrRefBasedLDV doesn't cope well with this and consumes a lot of memory
when there are many many stack slots. See the reproducer in D116821.
It seems very unlikely that a developer would be able to reason about
hundreds of live named local variables at the same time, so a huge working
set and many stack slots is an indicator that we're likely analysing
autogenerated or instrumented code. In those cases: gracefully degrade by
setting an upper bound on the amount of stack slots to track. This limits
peak memory consumption, at the cost of dropping some variable locations,
but in a rare scenario where it's unlikely someone is actually going to
use them.
In terms of the patch, this adds a cl::opt for max number of stack slots to
track, and has the stack-slot-numbering code optionally return None. That
then filters through a number of code paths, which can then chose to not
track a spill / restore if it touches an untracked spill slot. The added
test checks that we drop variable locations that are on the stack, if we
set the limit to zero.

If we only assign a variable value a single time, we can take a short-cut
when computing its location: the variable value is only valid up to the
dominance frontier of where the assignemnt happens. Past that point, there
are other predecessors from where the variable has no value, meaning the
variable has no location past that point.
This patch recognises this scenario, and avoids expensive SSA computation,
to improve compile-time performance.

occasionally this fails. There's a filter for DBG_VALUE instructions to not

liveness checking, which means DBG_PHIs get treated like DBG_VALUEs.

This patch proposes to move emission of global variables, types,
imported entities, etc from DwarfDebug::beginModule() to DwarfDebug::endModule().
Effectively, this changes nothing but the order of debug entities which
will be as follows:
* subprograms (including related context, local variables/labels,
local imported entities; related types can be created as a part of
the emission of local entities of an abstract subprogram);
* global variables (including related context and types);
* retained types and enums;
* non-local-scoped imported entities;
* basic types;
* other types left (as a part of local variables attributes emission).
Note that the order of emitted compile units may also be changed as now we emit
units that contain subprograms first and then all other non-empty units.
The motivation behind this change is the following:
(1) DwarfDebug::beginModule() is run at the very beginning of backend's pipeline,
from this time IR can be significantly changed by target-specific passes.
If it happens for debug metadata of global entities, those changes will not
be reflected in the emitted DWARF.
(2) imported subprogram names should refer to an abstract subprogram if it exists,
but it isn't known in DwarfDebug::beginModule() (it's possible to make some
guesses based on location info, but it's not quite reliable);
(3) aforementioned entities if they are scoped within a bracketed block
(subject of D113741) couldn't be emitted in DwarfDebug::beginModule()
(they need parent emitted first). Another problem is if to try to gather
some information about local entities and defer their emission
(till subprogram's processing or DwarfDebug::endModule()) all the gathered
details might be irrelevant / invalid by the time the entities are being
emitted (because of (1)).

InstrRefBasedLDV used to crash on the added test -- the exit block is not
in scope for the variable being propagated, but is still considered because
it contains an assignment. The failure-mode was vlocJoin ignoring
assign-only blocks and not updating DIExpressions, but pickVPHILoc would
still find a variable location for it. That led to DBG_VALUEs created with
the wrong fragment information.
Fix this by removing a filter inherited from VarLocBasedLDV: vlocJoin will
now consider assign-only blocks and will update their expressions.

DBG_VALUE $eax, $noreg, !123, !DIExpression(DW_OP_LLVM_fragment_0, 32)
we should only propagate the most recently assigned fragment out of a

overlaps within blocks is DbgEntityHistoryCalculators domain.
InstrRefBasedLDV has kept the accumulateFragmentMap method from
VarLocBasedLDV, we just need it to recognise DBG_INSTR_REFs. Once it's
produced a mapping of variable / fragments to the overlapped variable /
fragments, VLocTracker uses it to identify when a debug instruction needs
to terminate the other parts it overlaps with. The test is updated for
some standard "InstrRef picks different registers" variation, and the
order of some unrelated DBG_VALUEs changes.

indirectness would be dropped.

Almost all of the time, call instructions don't actually lead to SP being
different after they return. An exception is win32's _chkstk, which which
implements stack probes. We need to recognise that as modifying SP, so
that copies of the value are tracked as distinct vla pointers.
This patch adds a target frame-lowering hook to see whether stack probe
functions will modify the stack pointer, store that in an internal flag,
and if it's true then scan CALL instructions to see whether they're a
stack probe. If they are, recognise them as defining a new stack-pointer
value.
The added test exercises this behaviour: two calls to _chkstk should be
considered as producing two different values.

During register allocation, some instructions can have stack spills fused
into them. It means that when vregs are allocated on the stack we can
convert:
SETCCr %0
DBG_VALUE %0
to
SETCCm %stack.0
DBG_VALUE %stack.0
Unfortunately instruction referencing finds this harder: a store to the
stack doesn't have a specific operand number, therefore we don't substitute
the old operand for a new operand, and the location is dropped. This patch
implements a solution: just recognise the memory operand attached to an
instruction with a Special Number (TM), and record a substitution between
the old value and the new one.
This patch adds substitution code to InlineSpiller to record such fused
spills, and tracking in InstrRefBasedLDV to recognise such values, and
produce the value numbers for them. Everything to do with the movement of
stack-defined values is already handled in InstrRefBasedLDV.

Sometimes we generate code that writes to a subregister, then spills /
restores a super-register to the stack, for example:
$eax = MOV32ri 0
MOV64mr $rsp, 1, $noreg, 16, $noreg, $rax
$rcx = MOV64rm $rsp, 1, $noreg, 8, $noreg
This patch takes a different approach: it adds another index to
MLocTracker that identifies a size/offset within a stack slot. A location
on the stack is then a pari of {FrameIndex, SlotNum}. Spilling and
restoring now involves pairing up the src/dest register numbers, and the
dest/src stack position to be transferred to/from. Location coverage
improves as a result, compile-time performance decreases, alas.
One limitation is that if a PHI occurs inside a stack slot:
DBG_PHI %stack.0, 1
We don't know how large the resulting value is, and so might have
difficulty picking which value to use. DBG_PHI might need to be augmented
in the future with such a size.
Unit tests added ensure that spills and restores correctly transfer to
positions in the Location => Value map, and that different register classes
written to the stack will correctly clobber all other positions in the
stack slot.

This patch is very similar to D110173 / a3936a6c19c, but for variable

problem, calculating the correct variable value on entry to each block.
The previous lattice based implementation was broken; we now use LLVMs
existing PHI placement utilities to work out where values need to merge,
then eliminate un-necessary ones through value propagation.
Most of the deletions here happen in vlocJoin: it was trying to pick a
location for PHIs to happen in, badly, leading to an infinite loop in the
MIR test added, where it would repeatedly switch between register
locations. The new approach is simpler: either PHIs can be eliminated, or
they can't, and the location of the value is a different problem.
Various bits and pieces move to the header so that they can be tested in
the unit tests. The DbgValue class grows a "VPHI" kind to represent
variable value PHIS that haven't been eliminated yet.

instructions" that this pass transforms includes "every call instruction"
[0]. Thus, we've ended up dropping all return values from all calls. Ouch.
This patch adds a filter: only drop instruction numbers from calls if they
return something on the FP stack. Seeing how LLVM only allows a single
return value, this should drop instruction numbers on anything that returns
a float, and nothing else.
Rather than writing a new test, I've modified the original one to have a

This patch removes an assertion, and adds a regression test showing why the
assertion is broken.
For context, LocIdx is a key/index number for machine locations, so that we
can describe locations as a single integer and ignore whether they're on
the stack, in registers or otherwise. Back when InstrRefBasedLDV was added,
I happened to bake in a "special" zero number for various reasons, which
Vedant identified as undesirable in this review comment:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D83047#inline-765495 . I subsequently removed that
special zero number, but it looks like I didn't delete this assertion at
the time, which assumes that a zero LocIdx is invalid.
The attached test shows that this assertion is reachable on valid code --
on x86 $rsp always gets the LocIdx number zero, and if you transfer a
variable value into it, InstrRefBasedLDV crashes on that assertion. The
code might be a bit wild to be storing variables to $rsp like that, however
we shouldn't crash on it.

Avoid a crash when using instruction referencing if x87 floating point
instructions are used. These instructions are significantly mutated when
they're rewritten from referring to registers, to referring to
floating-point-stack positions. As a result, their operands are re-ordered,
and (InstrRef) LiveDebugValues asserts when it sees a DBG_INSTR_REF
referring to a non-reg non-def register operand.
To fix this, drop the instruction numbers, and thus variable locations.
This patch adds a helper utility do do that.
Dropping the variable locations is sub-optimal, but applying DBG_VALUEs to
the $fp0 and similar registers is dropped on emission too. It seems we've

This patch adds the forward scan for finding redundant DBG_VALUEs.
This analysis aims to remove redundant DBG_VALUEs by going forward
in the basic block by considering the first DBG_VALUE as a valid
until its first (location) operand is not clobbered/modified.
For example:
(1) DBG_VALUE $edi, !"var1", ...
(2) <block of code that does affect $edi>
(3) DBG_VALUE $edi, !"var1", ...
...
in this case, we can remove (3).

This new MIR pass removes redundant DBG_VALUEs.
After the register allocator is done, more precisely, after
the Virtual Register Rewriter, we end up having duplicated
DBG_VALUEs, since some virtual registers are being rewritten
into the same physical register as some of existing DBG_VALUEs.
Each DBG_VALUE should indicate (at least before the LiveDebugValues)
variables assignment, but it is being clobbered for function
parameters during the SelectionDAG since it generates new DBG_VALUEs
after COPY instructions, even though the parameter has no assignment.
For example, if we had a DBG_VALUE $regX as an entry debug value
representing the parameter, and a COPY and after the COPY,
DBG_VALUE $virt_reg, and after the virtregrewrite the $virt_reg gets
rewritten into $regX, we'd end up having redundant DBG_VALUE.
This breaks the definition of the DBG_VALUE since some analysis passes
might be built on top of that premise..., and this patch tries to fix
the MIR with the respect to that.
This first patch performs bacward scan, by trying to detect a sequence of
consecutive DBG_VALUEs, and to remove all DBG_VALUEs describing one
variable but the last one:
For example:
(1) DBG_VALUE $edi, !"var1", ...
(2) DBG_VALUE $esi, !"var2", ...
(3) DBG_VALUE $edi, !"var1", ...
...
in this case, we can remove (1).

LLVM provides target hooks to recognise stack spill and restore
instructions, such as isLoadFromStackSlot, and it also provides post frame
elimination versions such as isLoadFromStackSlotPostFE. These are supposed
to return the store-source and load-destination registers; unfortunately on
X86, the PostFE recognisers just return "1", apparently to signify "yes
it's a spill/load". This patch alters the hooks to correctly return the
store-source and load-destination registers:
This is really useful for debug-info as we it helps follow variable values
as they move on/off the stack. There should be no codegen changes: the only
other users of these PostFE target hooks are MachineInstr::getRestoreSize
and MachineInstr::getSpillSize, which don't attempt to interpret the
returned register location.
While we're here, delete the (InstrRef) LiveDebugValues heuristic that
tries to find the spill source register by looking for a killed reg -- we
should be able to rely on the target hooks for that. This involves
temporarily turning off a n InstrRef LivedDebugValues test on aarch64
(patch to re-enable it is in D104521).

This is a cleanup patch -- we're now able to support all flavours of
variable location in instruction referencing mode. This patch updates
various tests for debug instructions to be broader: numerous code paths
try to ignore debug isntructions, and they now have to ignore the
additional DBG_PHI and DBG_INSTR_REFs that we can generate.
A small amount of rework happens for LiveDebugVariables: as we don't need
to track live intervals through regalloc any more, we can get away with
unlinking debug instructions before regalloc, then re-inserting them after.
Note that this isn't (yet) true of DBG_VALUE_LISTs, they still have to go
through live interval tracking.
In SelectionDAG, add a helper lambda that emits half-formed DBG_INSTR_REFs
for arguments in instr-ref mode, DBG_VALUE otherwise. This is one of the
final locations where DBG_VALUEs are emitted for vreg arguments.
X86InstrInfo now un-sets the debug instr number on SUB instructions that
get mutated into CMP instructions. As the instruction no longer computes a
subtraction, we can't use it for variable locations.

Added in 47c3fe2a22cf, we sometimes need to describe a variable value
substitution with a subregister qualifier, to say that "the value is the
lower 32 bits of this 64 bit register def" for example. That then needs
support during LiveDebugValues to interpret the subregister qualifiers,
which is what this patch adds.
Whenever we encounter a DBG_INSTR_REF and find its value by using a
substitution, collect any subregister qualifiers seen. Then, accumulate the
effects of the qualifiers to work out what offset and what size should be
extracted from the defined register. Finally, for the target ValueIDNum,
extract whatever subregister is in the correct position
Currently, describing a subregister field of a larger value that has been
spilt to the stack, is unimplemented.

Very late in compilation, backends like X86 will perform optimisations like
this:
$cx = MOV16rm $rax, ...
->
$rcx = MOV64rm $rax, ...
Widening the load from 16 bits to 64 bits. SEeing how the lower 16 bits
remain the same, this doesn't affect execution. However, any debug
instruction reference to the defined operand now refers to a 64 bit value,
nto a 16 bit one, which might be unexpected. Elsewhere in codegen, there's
often this pattern:
CALL64pcrel32 @foo, implicit-def $rax
%0:gr64 = COPY $rax
%1:gr32 = COPY %0.sub_32bit
Where we want to refer to the definition of $eax by the call, but don't
want to refer the copies (they don't define values in the way
LiveDebugValues sees it). To solve this, add a subregister field to the
existing "substitutions" facility, so that we can describe a field within
a larger value definition. I would imagine that this would be used most
often when a value is widened, and we need to refer to the original,
narrower definition.

This patch adds support to the instruction-referencing LiveDebugValues
implementation for emitting entry values. The instruction referencing
implementations tracking by value rather than location means that we can
get around two of the issues with VarLocs. DBG_VALUE instructions that
re-assign the same value to a variable are no longer a problem, because we
can "see through" to the value being assigned. We also don't need to do
anything special during the dataflow stages: the "variable value problem"
doesn't need to know whether a value is available most of the time, and the
times it deoes need to know are always when entry values need to be
terminated.
The patch modifies the "TransferTracker" class, adding methods to identify
when a variable ias an entry value candidate, and when a machine value is
an entry value. recoverAsEntryValue tests these two things and emits an
entry-value expression if they're true. It's used when we clobber or
otherwise lose a value and can't find a replacement location for the value
it contained.
