Summary:
Currently the DbgValueHistorymap only keeps track of clobbered registers
for the last debug value that it has encountered. This could lead to
preceding register-described debug values living on longer in the
location lists than they should. See PR40283 for an example. This
patch does not introduce tracking of multiple registers, but changes
the DbgValueHistoryMap structure to allow for that in a follow-up
patch. This patch is not NFC, as it at least fixes two bugs in
DwarfDebug (both are covered in the new clobbered-fragments.mir test):
* If a debug value was clobbered (its End pointer set), the value would
still be added to OpenRanges, meaning that the succeeding location list
entries could potentially contain stale values.
* If a debug value was clobbered, and there were non-overlapping
fragments that were still live after the clobbering, DwarfDebug would
not create a location list entry starting directly after the
clobbering instruction. This meant that the location list could have
a gap until the next debug value for the variable was encountered.
Before this patch, the history map was represented by <Begin, End>
pairs, where a new pair was created for each new debug value. When
dealing with partially overlapping register-described debug values, such
as in the following example:
DBG_VALUE $reg2, $noreg, !1, !DIExpression(DW_OP_LLVM_fragment, 32, 32)
[...]
DBG_VALUE $reg3, $noreg, !1, !DIExpression(DW_OP_LLVM_fragment, 64, 32)
[...]
$reg2 = insn1
[...]
$reg3 = insn2
the history map would then contain the entries `[<DV1, insn1>, [<DV2, insn2>]`.
This would leave it up to the users of the map to be aware of
the relative order of the instructions, which e.g. could make
DwarfDebug::buildLocationList() needlessly complex. Instead, this patch
makes the history map structure monotonically increasing by dropping the
End pointer, and replacing that with explicit clobbering entries in the
vector. Each debug value has an "end index", which if set, points to the
entry in the vector that ends the debug value. The ending entry can
either be an overlapping debug value, or an instruction which clobbers
the register that the debug value is described by. The ending entry's
instruction can thus either be excluded or included in the debug value's
range. If the end index is not set, the debug value that the entry
introduces is valid until the end of the function.
Changes to test cases:
* DebugInfo/X86/pieces-3.ll: The range of the first DBG_VALUE, which
describes that the fragment (0, 64) is located in RDI, was
incorrectly ended by the clobbering of RAX, which the second
(non-overlapping) DBG_VALUE was described by. With this patch we
get a second entry that only describes RDI after that clobbering.
* DebugInfo/ARM/partial-subreg.ll: This test seems to indiciate a bug
in LiveDebugValues that is caused by it not being aware of fragments.
I have added some comments in the test case about that. Also, before
this patch DwarfDebug would incorrectly include a register-described
debug value from a preceding block in a location list entry.

Summary:
This fixes PR39710. In that case we emitted a location list looking like
this:
.Ldebug_loc0:
.quad .Lfunc_begin0-.Lfunc_begin0
.quad .Lfunc_begin0-.Lfunc_begin0
.short 1 # Loc expr size
.byte 85 # DW_OP_reg5
.quad .Lfunc_begin0-.Lfunc_begin0
.quad .Lfunc_end0-.Lfunc_begin0
.short 1 # Loc expr size
.byte 85 # super-register DW_OP_reg5
.quad 0
.quad 0
As seen, the first entry's beginning and ending addresses evalute to 0,
which meant that the entry inadvertently became an "end of list" entry,
resulting in the location list ending sooner than expected.
To fix this, omit all entries with empty ranges. Location list entries
with empty ranges do not have any effect, as specified by DWARF, so we
might as well drop them:
"A location list entry (but not a base address selection or end of list
entry) whose beginning and ending addresses are equal has no effect
because the size of the range covered by such an entry is zero."

This is a fix for PR39896, where dbg.value's of SDNodes that have been
optimised out do not lead to "DBG_VALUE undef" instructions being created.
Such undef instructions are necessary to terminate earlier variable
ranges, otherwise variable values leak past the point where they're valid.
The "invalidated" flag of SDDbgValue is currently being abused to mean two
things:
* The corresponding SDNode is now invalid
* This SDDbgValue should not be emitted
Of which there are several legitimate combinations of meaning:
* The SDNode has been invalidated and we should emit "DBG_VALUE undef"
* The SDNode has been invalidated but the debug data was salvaged, don't
emit anything for this SDDbgValue
* This SDDbgValue has been emitted
This patch introduces distinct "Emitted" and "Invalidated" fields to the
SDDbgValue class, updates users accordingly, and generates "undef"
DBG_VALUEs for invalidated records. Awkwardly, there are circumstances
where we emit SDDbgValue's twice, specifically DebugInfo/X86/dbg-addr-dse.ll
which I've preserved.

Enable enableMultipleCopyHints() on X86.
Original Patch by @jonpa:
While enabling the mischeduler for SystemZ, it was discovered that for some reason a test needed one extra seemingly needless COPY (test/CodeGen/SystemZ/call-03.ll). The handling for that is resulted in this patch, which improves the register coalescing by providing not just one copy hint, but a sorted list of copy hints. On SystemZ, this gives ~12500 less register moves on SPEC, as well as marginally less spilling.
Instead of improving just the SystemZ backend, the improvement has been implemented in common-code (calculateSpillWeightAndHint(). This gives a lot of test failures, but since this should be a general improvement I hope that the involved targets will help and review the test updates.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Summary:
Based on Fred's patch here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D6771
I can't seem to commandeer the old review, so I'm creating a new one.
With that change the locations exrpessions are pretty printed inline in the
DIE tree. The output looks like this for debug_loc entries:
DW_AT_location [DW_FORM_data4] (0x00000000
0x0000000000000001 - 0x000000000000000b: DW_OP_consts +3
0x000000000000000b - 0x0000000000000012: DW_OP_consts +7
0x0000000000000012 - 0x000000000000001b: DW_OP_reg0 RAX, DW_OP_piece 0x4
0x000000000000001b - 0x0000000000000024: DW_OP_breg5 RDI+0)
And like this for debug_loc.dwo entries:
DW_AT_location [DW_FORM_sec_offset] (0x00000000
Addr idx 2 (w/ length 190): DW_OP_consts +0, DW_OP_stack_value
Addr idx 3 (w/ length 23): DW_OP_reg0 RAX, DW_OP_piece 0x4)
Simple locations without ranges are printed inline:
DW_AT_location [DW_FORM_block1] (DW_OP_reg4 RSI, DW_OP_piece 0x4, DW_OP_bit_piece 0x20 0x0)
The debug_loc(.dwo) dumping in changed accordingly to factor the 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.

so we can stop using DW_OP_bit_piece with the wrong semantics.
The entire back story can be found here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20161114/405934.html
The gist is that in LLVM we've been misinterpreting DW_OP_bit_piece's
offset field to mean the offset into the source variable rather than
the offset into the location at the top the DWARF expression stack. In
order to be able to fix this in a subsequent patch, this patch
introduces a dedicated DW_OP_LLVM_fragment operation with the
semantics that we used to apply to DW_OP_bit_piece, which is what we
actually need while inside of LLVM. This patch is complete with a
bitcode upgrade for expressions using the old format. It does not yet
fix the DWARF backend to use DW_OP_bit_piece correctly.
Implementation note: We discussed several options for implementing
this, including reserving a dedicated field in DIExpression for the
fragment size and offset, but using an custom operator at the end of
the expression works just fine and is more efficient because we then
only pay for it when we need it.

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.

When a variable is described by a single DBG_VALUE instruction we can
often use a more efficient inline DW_AT_location instead of using a
location list.
This commit makes the heuristic that decides when to apply this
optimization stricter by also verifying that the DBG_VALUE is live at the
entry of the function (instead of just checking that it is valid until
the end of the function).

Note, this was reviewed (and more details are in) http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151109/312083.html
These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)
For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)
and similarly for memmove and memcpy.
I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.
A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.
In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.
Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

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.

As a follow-up to r246098, require `DISubprogram` definitions
(`isDefinition: true`) to be 'distinct'. Specifically, add an assembler
check, a verifier check, and bitcode upgrading logic to combat testcase
bitrot after the `DIBuilder` change.
While working on the testcases, I realized that
test/Linker/subprogram-linkonce-weak-odr.ll isn't relevant anymore. Its
purpose was to check for a corner case in PR22792 where two subprogram
definitions match exactly and share the same metadata node. The new
verifier check, requiring that subprogram definitions are 'distinct',
precludes that possibility.
I updated almost all the IR with the following script:
git grep -l -E -e '= !DISubprogram\(.* isDefinition: true' |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's/= \(!DISubprogram(.*, isDefinition: true\)/= distinct \1/'
Likely some variant of would work for out-of-tree testcases.

Since r241097, `DIBuilder` has only created distinct `DICompileUnit`s.
The backend is liable to start relying on that (if it hasn't already),
so make uniquable `DICompileUnit`s illegal and automatically upgrade old
bitcode. This is a nice cleanup, since we can remove an unnecessary
`DenseSet` (and the associated uniquing info) from `LLVMContextImpl`.
Almost all the testcases were updated with this script:
git grep -e '= !DICompileUnit' -l -- test |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's,= !DICompileUnit,= distinct !DICompileUnit,'
I imagine something similar should work for out-of-tree testcases.

(Note: a follow-up could change `DILocalVariable::DILocalVariable()` to
set the tag to `DW_TAG_formal_parameter` instead of `DW_TAG_variable`
(as appropriate), instead of having that logic magically in the backend
in `DbgVariable`. I've added a FIXME to that effect.)

Finish off PR23080 by renaming the debug info IR constructs from `MD*`

r235356, and the last of the related typedefs removed in r235413, so
this has all baked for about a week.
Note: If you have out-of-tree code (like a frontend), I recommend that
you get everything compiling and tests passing with the *previous*
commit before updating to this one. It'll be easier to keep track of
what code is using the `DIDescriptor` hierarchy and what you've already

course.
Back to *this* commit: I did this using the rename-md-di-nodes.sh

test/Assembler/invalid-generic-debug-node-*.ll by hand since the columns
were off-by-three. It should work on your out-of-tree testcases (and
code, if you've followed the advice in the previous paragraph).
Some of the tests are in badly named files now (e.g.,
test/Assembler/invalid-mdcompositetype-missing-tag.ll should be
'dicompositetype'); I'll come back and move the files in a follow-up

concerned. Let me know if I'm wrong :).
The code changes are fairly mechanical:
- Bumped the "Debug Info Version".
- `DIBuilder` now creates the appropriate subclass of `MDNode`.
- Subclasses of DIDescriptor now expect to hold their "MD"
counterparts (e.g., `DIBasicType` expects `MDBasicType`).
- Deleted a ton of dead code in `AsmWriter.cpp` and `DebugInfo.cpp`
for printing comments.
- Big update to LangRef to describe the nodes in the new hierarchy.
Feel free to make it better.
Testcase changes are enormous. There's an accompanying clang commit on
its way.
If you have out-of-tree debug info testcases, I just broke your build.
- `upgrade-specialized-nodes.sh` is attached to PR22564. I used it to
update all the IR testcases.
- Unfortunately I failed to find way to script the updates to CHECK
lines, so I updated all of these by hand. This was fairly painful,
since the old CHECKs are difficult to reason about. That's one of
the benefits of the new hierarchy.
This work isn't quite finished, BTW. The `DIDescriptor` subclasses are
almost empty wrappers, but not quite: they still have loose casting
checks (see the `RETURN_FROM_RAW()` macro). Once they're completely
gutted, I'll rename the "MD" classes to "DI" and kill the wrappers. I
also expect to make a few schema changes now that it's easier to reason
about everything.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in

- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2

!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}

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.

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.

refactoring in 215384. This way it can unique multiple entries describing
the same piece even if they don't have the exact same location.
(The same piece may get merged in and be added from OpenRanges).
There ought to be a more elegant solution for this, though.

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.
