computeRegisterLiveness() was broken in that it reported dead for a
register even if a subregister was alive. I assume this was because the
results of analayzePhysRegs() are hard to understand with respect to
subregisters.
This commit: Changes the results of analyzePhysRegs (=struct
PhysRegInfo) to be clearly understandable, also renames the fields to
avoid silent breakage of third-party code (and improve the grammar).
Fix all (two) users of computeRegisterLiveness() in llvm: By reenabling
it and removing workarounds for the bug.
This fixes http://llvm.org/PR24535 and http://llvm.org/PR25033

These instructions are not supported by all CPUs in 64-bit mode. Emitting them
causes Chromium to crash on start-up for users with such chips.
(GCC puts these instructions behind -msahf on 64-bit for the same reason.)
This patch adds FeatureLAHFSAHF, enables it by default for 32-bit targets
and modern CPUs, and changes X86InstrInfo::copyPhysReg back to the lowering
from before r244503 when the instructions are not available.

Summary:
computeRegisterLiveness and analyzePhysReg are currently getting
confused about liveness in some cases, breaking copyPhysReg's
calculation of whether AX is dead in some cases. Work around this issue
temporarily by assuming that AX is always live.
See detail in: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25033#c7
And associated bugs PR24535 PR25033 PR24991 PR24992 PR25201.
This workaround makes the code correct but slightly inefficient, but it
seems to confuse the machine instr verifier which now things EAX was
undefined in some cases where it's being conservatively saved /
restored.

Code generation often exposes redundant physical register copies through
virtual registers such as:
%vreg = COPY %PHYSREG
...
%PHYSREG = COPY %vreg
There are cases where no intervening clobber of %PHYSREG occurs, and the
later copy could therefore be removed. In some cases this further allows
us to remove the initial copy.
This patch contains a motivating example which comes from the x86 build
of Chrome, specifically cc::ResourceProvider::UnlockForRead uses
libstdc++'s implementation of hash_map. That example has two tests live
at the same time, and after machine sinking LLVM has confused itself
enough and things spilling EFLAGS is a great idea even though it's
never restored and the comparison results are both live.
Before this patch we have:
DEC32m %RIP, 1, %noreg, <ga:@L>, %noreg, %EFLAGS<imp-def>
%vreg1<def> = COPY %EFLAGS; GR64:%vreg1
%EFLAGS<def> = COPY %vreg1; GR64:%vreg1
JNE_1 <BB#1>, %EFLAGS<imp-use>
Both copies are useless. This patch tries to eliminate the later copy in
a generic manner.
dec is especially confusing to LLVM when compared with sub.
I wrote this patch to treat all physical registers generically, but only
remove redundant copies of non-allocatable physical registers because
the allocatable ones caused issues (e.g. when calling conventions weren't
properly modeled) and should be handled later by the register allocator
anyways.
The following tests used to failed when the patch also replaced allocatable
registers:
CodeGen/X86/StackColoring.ll
CodeGen/X86/avx512-calling-conv.ll
CodeGen/X86/copy-propagation.ll
CodeGen/X86/inline-asm-fpstack.ll
CodeGen/X86/musttail-varargs.ll
CodeGen/X86/pop-stack-cleanup.ll
CodeGen/X86/preserve_mostcc64.ll
CodeGen/X86/tailcallstack64.ll
CodeGen/X86/this-return-64.ll
This happens because COPY has other special meaning for e.g. dependency
breakage and x87 FP stack.
Note that all other backends' tests pass.
