Summary:
In SelectionDAG, when a store is immediately chained to another store
to the same address, elide the first store as it has no observable
effects. This is causes small improvements dealing with intrinsics
lowered to stores.
Test notes:
* Many testcases overwrite store addresses multiple times and needed
minor changes, mainly making stores volatile to prevent the
optimization from optimizing the test away.
* Many X86 test cases optimized out instructions associated with
associated with va_start.
* Note that test_splat in CodeGen/AArch64/misched-stp.ll no longer has
dependencies to check and can probably be removed and potentially
replaced with another test.

Use the store size of the argument type, which will be a byte-sized
quantity, rather than dividing the size in bits by 8.
Fixes PR32136 and re-enables copy elision from i64 arguments.
Reverts the workaround in from r296950.

This fixes cases where i1 types were not properly legalized yet and lead
to the creating of 0-sized stack slots.
This fixes http://llvm.org/PR32136
llvm-svn: 296950
Summary:
Avoids tons of prologue boilerplate when arguments are passed in memory
and left in memory. This can happen in a debug build or in a release
build when an argument alloca is escaped. This will dramatically affect
the code size of x86 debug builds, because X86 fast isel doesn't handle
arguments passed in memory at all. It only handles the x86_64 case of up
to 6 basic register parameters.
This is implemented by analyzing the entry block before ISel to identify
copy elision candidates. A copy elision candidate is an argument that is
used to fully initialize an alloca before any other possibly escaping
uses of that alloca. If an argument is a copy elision candidate, we set
a flag on the InputArg. If the the target generates loads from a fixed
stack object that matches the size and alignment requirements of the
alloca, the SelectionDAG builder will delete the stack object created
for the alloca and replace it with the fixed stack object. The load is
left behind to satisfy any remaining uses of the argument value. The
store is now dead and is therefore elided. The fixed stack object is
also marked as mutable, as it may now be modified by the user, and it
would be invalid to rematerialize the initial load from it.
