As a follow-up to r234021, assert that a debug info intrinsic variable's
`MDLocalVariable::getInlinedAt()` always matches the
`MDLocation::getInlinedAt()` of its `!dbg` attachment.
The goal here is to get rid of `MDLocalVariable::getInlinedAt()`
entirely (PR22778), but I'll let these assertions bake for a while
first.
If you have an out-of-tree backend that just broke, you're probably
attaching the wrong `DebugLoc` to a `DBG_VALUE` instruction. The one
you want is the location that was attached to the corresponding
`@llvm.dbg.declare` or `@llvm.dbg.value` call that you started with.

argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

In r210492 the logic of calculateDbgValueHistory was changed to end
register variable live ranges at the end of MBB conditionally on
the fact that the register was or not clobbered by the function body.
This requires an initial scan of all the operands of the function
to collect all clobbered registers. In a second pass over all
instructions, we compare this set with the set of clobbered
registers for the current MachineInstruction. This modification
incurred a compilation time regression on some benchmarks: the
debug info emission phase takes ~10% more time.
While a small performance hit is unavoidable due to the initial
scan requirement, we can improve the situation by avoiding to
create too many temporary sets and just use lambdas to work directly
on the result of the initial scan.

The handling of the epilogue is best expressed as an early exit and
there is no reason to look for register defs in DbgValue MIs.

variables (for example, by-value struct arguments passed in registers, or
large integer values split across several smaller registers).
On the IR level, this adds a new type of complex address operation OpPiece
to DIVariable that describes size and offset of a variable fragment.
On the DWARF emitter level, all pieces describing the same variable are
collected, sorted and emitted as DWARF expressions using the DW_OP_piece
and DW_OP_bit_piece operators.

What this patch doesn't do / Future work:
- This patch only adds the backend machinery to make this work, patches
that change SROA and SelectionDAG's type legalizer to actually create
such debug info will follow. (http://reviews.llvm.org/D2680)
- Making the DIVariable complex expressions into an argument of dbg.value
will reduce the memory footprint of the debug metadata.
- The sorting/uniquing of pieces should be moved into DebugLocEntry,
to facilitate the merging of multi-piece entries.

Don't terminate location ranges for register-described variables
at the end of machine basic block if this register is never modified
in the function body, except for the prologue and epilogue. Prologue
location is guessed by FrameSetup flags on MachineInstructions, while
epilogue location is deduced from debug locations of instructions
in the basic blocks ending with return instructions.
This patch is mostly targeted to fix non-trivial debug locations for
variables addressed via stack and frame pointers.
It is not really a generic fix. We can still produce poor debug info
for register-described variables if this register *is* modified somewhere
in the function, but in unrelated places. This might be the case for the debug
info in optimized binaries (e.g. for local variables in inlined functions).
LiveDebugVariables pass in CodeGen attempts to fix this problem by adjusting
DBG_VALUE instructions, but this pass is tied to greedy register allocator,
which is used in optimized builds only. Proper fix would likely involve
generalizing LiveDebugVariables to all register allocators. See more discussion
in http://reviews.llvm.org/D3933 review thread.
I'm proceeding with this patch to fix immediate severe problems and
important cases, e.g. fix completely broken debug info with AddressSanitizer
and fix PR19307 (missing debug info for by-value std::string arguments).

Use more straightforward way to represent the set of instruction
ranges where the location of a user variable is defined - vector of pairs
of instructions (defining start/end of each range),
instead of a flattened vector of instructions where some instructions
are supposed to start the range, and the rest are supposed to "clobber" it.
Simplify the code which generates actual .debug_loc entries.
No functionality change.

Current implementation of calculateDbgValueHistory already creates the
keys in the expected order (user variables are listed in order of appearance),
and should do so later by contract.
No functionality change.

This change preserves the original algorithm of generating history
for user variables, but makes it more clear.
High-level description of algorithm:
Scan all the machine basic blocks and machine instructions in the order
they are emitted to the object file. Do the following:
1) If we see a DBG_VALUE instruction, add it to the history of the
corresponding user variable. Keep track of all user variables, whose
locations are described by a register.
2) If we see a regular instruction, look at all the registers it clobbers,
and terminate the location range for all variables described by these registers.
3) At the end of the basic block, terminate location ranges for all
user variables described by some register.
Although this change shouldn't be user-visible (the contents of .debug_loc section
should be the same), it changes some internal assumptions about the set
of instructions used to track the variable locations. Watching the bots.
