The register allocator can split a live interval of a register into a set
of smaller intervals. After the allocation of registers is complete, the
rewriter will modify the IR to replace virtual registers with the corres-
ponding physical registers. At this stage, if a register corresponding
to a subregister of a virtual register is used, the rewriter will check
if that subregister is undefined, and if so, it will add the <undef> flag
to the machine operand. The function verifying liveness of the subregis-
ter would assume that it is undefined, unless any of the subranges of the
live interval proves otherwise.
The problem is that the live intervals created during splitting do not
have any subranges, even if the original parent interval did. This could
result in the <undef> flag placed on a register that is actually defined.

We now use LiveRangeCalc::extendToUses() instead of a specially designed
algorithm in constructMainRangeFromSubranges():
- The original motivation for constructMainRangeFromSubranges() were
differences between the main liverange and subranges because of hidden
dead definitions. This case however cannot happen anymore with the
DetectDeadLaneMasks pass in place.
- It simplifies the code.
- This fixes a longstanding bug where we did not properly create new SSA
values on merging control flow (the MachineVerifier missed most of
these cases).
- Move constructMainRangeFromSubranges() to LiveIntervalAnalysis and
LiveRangeCalc to better match the implementation/available helper
functions.
This re-applies r269016. The fixes from r270290 and r270259 should avoid
the machine verifier problems this time.

Take MachineInstr by reference instead of by pointer in SlotIndexes and
the SlotIndex wrappers in LiveIntervals. The MachineInstrs here are
never null, so this cleans up the API a bit. It also incidentally
removes a few implicit conversions from MachineInstrBundleIterator to
MachineInstr* (see PR26753).
At a couple of call sites it was convenient to convert to a range-based
for loop over MachineBasicBlock::instr_begin/instr_end, so I added
MachineBasicBlock::instrs.

Some subregisters are only to indicate different access sizes, while not
providing any way to actually divide the register up into multiple
disjunct parts. Avoid tracking subregister liveness in these cases as it
is not beneficial.

Summary:
Letting them begin at the PHI instruction slightly simplifies the code
but more importantly avoids breaking the assumption that live ranges
starting at the block begin are also live at the end of the predecessor
blocks. The MachineVerifier checks that but was apparently never run in
the few instances where liveranges are calculated for machine-SSA
functions.

This function constructs the main liverange by merging all subranges if
subregister liveness tracking is available. This should be slightly
faster to compute instead of performing the liveness calculation again
for the main range. More importantly it avoids cases where the main
liverange would cover positions where no subrange was live. These cases
happened for partial definitions where the actual defined part was dead
and only the undefined parts used later.
The register coalescing requires that every part covered by the main
live range has at least one subrange live.
I also expect this function to become usefull later for places where the
subranges are modified in a way that it is hard to correctly fix the
main liverange in the machine scheduler, we can simply reconstruct it
from subranges then.

This changes subrange calculation to calculate subranges sequentially
instead of in parallel. The code is easier to understand that way and
addresses the code review issues raised about LiveOutData being
hard to understand/needing more comments by removing them :)

define below all header includes in the lib/CodeGen/... tree. While the
current modules implementation doesn't check for this kind of ODR
violation yet, it is likely to grow support for it in the future. It
also removes one layer of macro pollution across all the included
headers.
Other sub-trees will follow.

operator* on the by-operand iterators to return a MachineOperand& rather than
a MachineInstr&. At this point they almost behave like normal iterators!
Again, this requires making some existing loops more verbose, but should pave
the way for the big range-based for-loop cleanups in the future.

The Segment struct contains a single interval; multiple instances of this struct
are used to construct a live range, but the struct is not a live range by
itself.

When findReachingDefs() finds that only one value can reach the basic
block, just copy the work list of visited blocks directly into the live
interval.
Sort the block list and use a LiveRangeUpdater to make the bulk add
fast.
When multiple reaching defs are found, transfer the work list to the
updateSSA() work list as before. Also use LiveRangeUpdater in
updateLiveIns() following updateSSA().
This makes live interval analysis more than 3x faster on one huge test
case.

Kill flags are difficult to maintain, and liveness queries are better
handled by live intervals.
Kill flags are reinserted after register allocation by addKillFlags().

A value number is a PHI def if and only if it begins at a block
boundary. This can be derived from the def slot, a separate flag is not
necessary.

Catch uses of undefined physregs that haven't been added to basic block
live-in lists. Run the verifier to pinpoint the problem.
Also run the verifier when a virtual register use is not jointly
dominated by defs.

If a value is defined by a COPY, that instuction can easily and cheaply
be found by getInstructionFromIndex(VNI->def).
This reduces the size of VNInfo from 24 to 16 bytes, and improves
llc compile time by 3%.

SplitKit will soon need two copies of these data structures, and the
algorithms will also be useful when LiveIntervalAnalysis becomes
independent of LiveVariables.
