As discussed on llvm-dev in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-September/117301.html
this changes the command line interface of llvm-dwarfdump to match the
one used by the dwarfdump utility shipping on macOS. In addition to
being shorter to type this format also has the advantage of allowing
more than one section to be specified at the same time.
In a nutshell, with this change
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=info
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=apple-objc
becomes
$ dwarfdump --debug-info --apple-objc

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.

For the following motivating example
bool c();
void f();
bool start() {
bool result = c();
if (!c()) {
result = false;
goto exit;
}
f();
result = true;
exit:
return result;
}
we would previously generate a single DW_AT_const_value(1) because
only the DBG_VALUE in the second-to-last basic block survived
codegen. This patch improves the heuristic used to determine when a
DBG_VALUE is available at the beginning of its variable's enclosing
lexical scope:
- Stop giving singular constants blanket permission to take over the
entire scope. There is still a special case for constants in the
function prologue that we also miight want to retire later.
- Use the lexical scope information to determine available-at-entry
instead of proximity to the function prologue.
After this patch we generate a location list with a more accurate
narrower availability for the constant true value. As a pleasant side
effect, we also generate inline locations instead of location lists
where a loacation covers the entire range of the enclosing lexical
scope.
Measured on compiling llc with four targets this doesn't have an
effect on compile time and reduces the size of the debug info for llc
by ~600K.

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.

Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.
Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.

When building LLVM as a (potentially dynamic) library that can be linked against
by multiple compilers, the default triple is not really meaningful.
We allow to explicitely set it to an empty string when configuring LLVM.
In this case, said "target independent" tests in the test suite that are using
the default triple are disabled by matching the newly available feature
"default_triple".
