There are a few STL containers hanging around that can become DenseMaps,
SmallVectors and similar. This recovers a modest amount of compile time
performance.
While I'm here, adjust the bit layout of ValueIDNum: this was always
supposed to act like a value type, however it seems that clang doesn't
compile the comparison functions to act that way. Add a uint64_t to a
union that explicitly aliases the bitfields, so that we can compare the
whole value as a single integer.

This patch is like D111627 -- instead of calculating IDF for every location
on the stack, only do it for the smallest units of interference, and copy
the PHIs for those units to any aliases.
The test added runs placeMLocPHIs directly, and tests that:
* A def of the lower 8 bits of a stack slot causes all aliasing regs to
have PHIs placed,
* It doesn't cause the equivalent location to x86's $ah, which isn't
aliased, to have a PHI placed.

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 adds some unit tests for the machine-location transfer-function
building parts of InstrRefBasedLDV: i.e., test that if we feed some MIR
into the transfer-function building code, does it create the correct
transfer function.
There are a number of minor defects that get corrected in the process:
* The unit test was selecting the x86 (i.e. 32 bit) backend rather than
x86_64's 64 bit backend,
* COPY instructions weren't actually having their subregister values
correctly represented in the transfer function. Subregisters were being
defined by the COPY, rather than taking the value in the source register.
* SP aliases were at risk of being clobbered, if an SP subregister was
clobbered.

Here's another performance patch for InstrRefBasedLDV: rather than
processing all variable values in a scope at a time, instead, process one
variable at a time. The benefits are twofold:
* It's easier to reason about one variable at a time in your mind,
* It improves performance, apparently from increased locality.
The downside is that the value-propagation code gets indented one level
further, plus there's some churn in the unit tests.

This is purely a performance patch: InstrRefBasedLDV used to use three
DenseMaps to store variable values, two for long term storage and one as a
working set. This patch eliminates the working set, and updates the long
term storage in place, thus avoiding two DenseMap comparisons and two
DenseMap assignments, which can be expensive.

This field gets assigned when the relevant object starts being used; but it
remains uninitialized beforehand. This risks introducing hard-to-detect
bugs if something changes, so zero-initialize the field.
This patch is very similar to D110173 / a3936a6c19c, but for variable
values rather than machine values. This is for the second instr-ref
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.

In D110173 we start using the existing LLVM IDF calculator to place PHIs as
we reconstruct an SSA form of machine-code program. Sadly that's slower
than the old (but broken) way, this patch attempts to recover some of that
performance.
The key observation: every time we def a register, we also have to def it's
register units. If we def'd $rax, in the current implementation we
independently calculate PHI locations for {al, ah, ax, eax, hax, rax}, and
they will all have the same PHI positions. Instead of doing that, we can
calculate the PHI positions for {al, ah} and place PHIs for any aliasing
registers in the same positions. Any def of a super-register has to def
the unit, and vice versa, so this is sound. It cuts down the SSA placement
we need to do significantly.
This doesn't work for stack slots, or registers we only ever read, so place
PHIs normally for those. LiveDebugValues choses to ignore writes to SP at
calls, and now have to ignore writes to SP register units too.

InstrRefBasedLDV used to try and determine which values are in which
registers using a lattice approach; however this is hard to understand, and
broken in various ways. This patch replaces that approach with a standard
SSA approach using existing LLVM utilities. PHIs are placed at dominance
frontiers; value propagation then eliminates un-necessary PHIs.
This patch also adds a bunch of unit tests that should cover many of the
weirder forms of control flow.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D110173
These "dump" methods call into MachineOperand::dump, which doesn't exist
with NDEBUG, thus we croak. Disable LiveDebugValues dump methods when
NDEBUG is turned on to avoid this.
This patch shifts the InstrRefBasedLDV class declaration to a header.
Partially because it's already massive, but mostly so that I can start
writing some unit tests for it. This patch also adds the boilerplate for
said unit tests.
