Summary:
Avoids tons of prologue boilerplate when arguments are passed in memory
and left in memory. This can happen in a debug build or in a release
build when an argument alloca is escaped. This will dramatically affect
the code size of x86 debug builds, because X86 fast isel doesn't handle
arguments passed in memory at all. It only handles the x86_64 case of up
to 6 basic register parameters.
This is implemented by analyzing the entry block before ISel to identify
copy elision candidates. A copy elision candidate is an argument that is
used to fully initialize an alloca before any other possibly escaping
uses of that alloca. If an argument is a copy elision candidate, we set
a flag on the InputArg. If the the target generates loads from a fixed
stack object that matches the size and alignment requirements of the
alloca, the SelectionDAG builder will delete the stack object created
for the alloca and replace it with the fixed stack object. The load is
left behind to satisfy any remaining uses of the argument value. The
store is now dead and is therefore elided. The fixed stack object is
also marked as mutable, as it may now be modified by the user, and it
would be invalid to rematerialize the initial load from it.

Choosing a "cfi" name makes the intend a bit clearer in an assembly dump
and more importantly the assembly dumps are slightly more stable as the
numbers don't move around anymore when unrelated code calls
createTempSymbol() more or less often.
As they are temp labels the name doesn't influence the generated object
code.

This combiner breaks debug experience and should not be run when optimizations are disabled.
For example:
int main() {
int j = 0;
j += 2;
if (j == 2)
return 0;
return 5;
}
When debugging this code compiled in /O0, it should be valid to break at line "j+=2;" and edit the value of j. It should change the return value of the function.
