The old naming scheme (load/use/def/store) can be traced back to an old
linear scan article, but the names don't match how slots are actually
used.
The load and store slots are not needed after the deferred spill code
insertion framework was deleted.
The use and def slots don't make any sense because we are using
half-open intervals as is customary in C code, but the names suggest
closed intervals. In reality, these slots were used to distinguish
early-clobber defs from normal defs.
The new naming scheme also has 4 slots, but the names match how the
slots are really used. This is a purely mechanical renaming, but some
of the code makes a lot more sense now.

It is possible to have multiple DBG_VALUEs for the same variable:
32L TEST32rr %vreg0<kill>, %vreg0, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg0
DBG_VALUE 2, 0, !"i"
DBG_VALUE %noreg, %0, !"i"
When that happens, keep the last one instead of the first.
llvm-svn: 136842
It can happen that a live debug variable is the last use of a sub-register, and
the register allocator will pick a larger register class for the virtual
register. If the allocated register doesn't support the sub-register index,
just use %noreg for the debug variables instead of asserting.
In PR9872, a debug variable ends up in the sub_8bit_hi part of a GR32_ABCD
register. The register is split and one part is inflated to GR32 and assigned
%ESI because there are no more normal uses of sub_8bit_hi.
Since %ESI doesn't have that sub-register, substPhysReg asserted. Now it will
simply insert a %noreg instead, and the debug variable will be marked
unavailable in that range.
We don't currently have a way of saying: !"value" is in bits 8-15 of %ESI, I
don't know if DWARF even supports that.

After a virtual register is split, update any debug user variables that resided
in the old register. This ensures that the LiveDebugVariables are still correct
after register allocation.
This may create DBG_VALUE instructions that place a user variable in a register
in parts of the function and in a stack slot in other parts. DwarfDebug
currently doesn't support that.

This will extend the ranges of debug info variables in registers until they are
clobbered.
Fix 1: Don't mistake DBG_VALUE instructions referring to incoming arguments on
the stack with DBG_VALUE instructions referring to variables in the frame
pointer. This fixes the gdb test-suite failure.
Fix 2: Don't trace through copies to physical registers setting up call
arguments. These registers are call clobbered, and the source register is more
likely to be a callee-saved register that can be extended through the call
instruction.
llvm-svn: 128114
These ranges get completely jumbled by the post-ra scheduler, and it is not
really reasonable to expect it to make sense of them.
Instead, teach DwarfDebug to notice when user variables in registers are
clobbered, and terminate the ranges there.

The llvm.dbg.value intrinsic refers to SSA values, not virtual registers, so we
should be able to extend the range of a value by tracking that value through
register copies. This greatly improves the debug value tracking for function
arguments that for some reason are copied to a second virtual register at the
end of the entry block.
We only extend the debug value range where its register is killed. All original
llvm.dbg.value locations are still respected.
Copies from physical registers are ignored. That should not be a problem since
the entry block already adds DBG_VALUE instructions for the virtual registers
holding the function arguments.

For one, MachineBasicBlock::getFirstTerminator() doesn't understand what is
happening, and it also makes sense to have all control flow run through the
DBG_VALUE.

of using a Location class with the same information.
When making a copy of a MachineOperand that was already stored in a
MachineInstr, it is necessary to clear the parent pointer on the copy. Otherwise
the register use-def lists become inconsistent.
Add MachineOperand::clearParent() to do that. An alternative would be a custom
MachineOperand copy constructor that cleared ParentMI. I didn't want to do that
because of the performance impact.

Print virtual registers numbered from 0 instead of the arbitrary
FirstVirtualRegister. The first virtual register is printed as %vreg0.
TRI::NoRegister is printed as %noreg.

Scan the MachineFunction for DBG_VALUE instructions, and replace them with a
data structure similar to LiveIntervals. The live range of a DBG_VALUE is
determined by propagating it down the dominator tree until a new DBG_VALUE is
found. When a DBG_VALUE lives in a register, its live range is confined to the
live range of the register's value.
LiveDebugVariables runs before coalescing, so DBG_VALUEs are not artificially
extended when registers are joined.
The missing half will recreate DBG_VALUE instructions from the intervals when
register allocation is complete.
The pass is disabled by default. It can be enabled with the temporary command
line option -live-debug-variables.
llvm-svn: 120636
This analysis is going to run immediately after LiveIntervals. It will stay
alive during register allocation and keep track of user variables mentioned in
DBG_VALUE instructions.
When the register allocator is moving values between registers and the stack, it
is very hard to keep track of DBG_VALUE instructions. We usually get it wrong.
This analysis maintains a data structure that makes it easy to update DBG_VALUE
instructions.
