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.

llvm-svn: 331841
Summary:
Most DIExpressions are empty or very simple. When they are complex, they
tend to be unique, so checking them inline is reasonable.
This also avoids the need for CodeGen passes to append to the
llvm.dbg.mir named md node.
See also PR22780, for making DIExpression not be an MDNode.

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.

Summary:
This patch is part of 3 patches that together form a single patch, but must be introduced in stages in order not to break things.
The way that LLVM interprets DW_OP_plus in DIExpression nodes is basically that of the DW_OP_plus_uconst operator since LLVM expects an unsigned constant operand. This unnecessarily restricts the DW_OP_plus operator, preventing it from being used to describe the evaluation of runtime values on the expression stack. These patches try to align the semantics of DW_OP_plus and DW_OP_minus with that of the DWARF definition, which pops two elements off the expression stack, performs the operation and pushes the result back on the stack.
This is done in three stages:
• The first patch (LLVM) adds support for DW_OP_plus_uconst.
• The second patch (Clang) contains changes all its uses from DW_OP_plus to DW_OP_plus_uconst.
• The third patch (LLVM) changes the semantics of DW_OP_plus and DW_OP_minus to be in line with its DWARF meaning. This patch includes the bitcode upgrade from legacy DIExpressions.

When the location description of a source variable involves arithmetic
on the value itself, it needs to be marked with DW_OP_stack_value since it
is not describing the variable's location, but rather its value.
This is a follow-up to r297971 and fixes the source testcase quoted in
the comment in debuginfo-dce.ll.

[Reapplies r297971 and punting on finding a better API for findDbgValues()]
This patch improves debug info quality in InstCombine by looking at
values that are about to be deleted, checking whether there are any
dbg.value instrinsics referring to them, and potentially encoding the
semantics of the deleted instruction into the dbg.value's
DIExpression.
In the example in the testcase (which was extracted from XNU) there is a sequence of
%4 = load %struct.entry*, %struct.entry** %next2, align 8, !dbg !41
%5 = bitcast %struct.entry* %4 to i8*, !dbg !42
%add.ptr4 = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %5, i64 -8, !dbg !43
%6 = bitcast i8* %add.ptr4 to %struct.entry*, !dbg !44
call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %struct.entry* %6, i64 0, metadata !20, metadata !21), !dbg 34
When these instructions are eliminated by instcombine one after
another, we can still salvage the otherwise dead debug info:
- Bitcasts have no effect, so have the dbg.value point to operand(0)
- Loads can be expressed via a DW_OP_deref
- Constant gep instructions can be replaced by DWARF expression arithmetic
The API introduced by this patch is not specific to instcombine and
can be useful in other places, too.
