Adrian Prantl abe04759a6 Remove the obsolete offset parameter from @llvm.dbg.value
There is no situation where this rarely-used argument cannot be
substituted with a DIExpression and removing it allows us to simplify
the DWARF backend. Note that this patch does not yet remove any of
the newly dead code.

Adrian Prantl 75819aedf6 [PR27284] Reverse the ownership between DICompileUnit and DISubprogram.
Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.

Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.

Motivation
----------

Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.

We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

Attached to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27284 is a python script
that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

Duncan P. N. Exon Smith e8eb94a9a5 ADCE: Remove debug info intrinsics in dead scopes
During ADCE, track which debug info scopes still have live references
from the code, and delete debug info intrinsics for the dead ones.

These intrinsics describe the locations of variables (in registers or
stack slots).  If there's no code left corresponding to a variable's
scope, then there's no way to reference the variable in the debugger and
it doesn't matter what its value is.

I add a DEBUG printout when the described location in an SSA register,
in case it helps some trying to track down why locations get lost.
However, we still delete these; the scope itself isn't attached to any
real code, so the ship has already sailed.
