When we're outlining a sequence that ends in a call, we can save up to
three instructions in the outlined function by turning the call into
a tail-call. I refer to this as thunk outlining because the resulting
outlined function looks like a thunk; suggestions welcome for a better
name.
In addition to making the outlined function shorter, thunk outlining
allows outlining calls which would otherwise be illegal to outline:
we don't need to save/restore LR, so we don't need to prove anything
about the stack access patterns of the callee.
To make this work effectively, I also added
MachineOutlinerInstrType::LegalTerminator to the generic MachineOutliner
code; this allows treating an arbitrary instruction as a terminator in
the suffix tree.

This commit simplifies the call outlining logic by removing references to the
Function associated with the callee. To do this, it requires that valid
callee save info is available to the outliner.

At the point the outliner runs, KILLs don't impact anything, but they're still
considered unique instructions. This commit makes them invisible like
DebugValues so that they can still be outlined without impacting outlining
decisions.

In preparation for adding support for named vregs we are changing the sigil for
physical registers in MIR to '$' from '%'. This will prevent name clashes of
named physical register with named vregs.

Summary:
Call MRI.freezeReservedRegs() on functions created during outlining so
that calls to isReserved() by the verifier called after this pass won't
assert.

*Mostly* NFC. Still updating the test though just for completeness.
This moves the hasAddressTaken check to MachineOutliner.cpp and replaces it
with a per-basic block test rather than a per-function test. The old test was
too conservative and was preventing functions in C programs from being
outlined even though they were safe to outline.
This was mostly a problem in C sources.

ADRP instructions weren't being outlined because they're PC-relative and thus
fail the LR checks. This patch adds a special case for ADRPs to
getOutliningType to make sure that ADRPs can be outlined and updates the MIR
test.

This commit does two things. Firstly, it adds a collection of flags which can
be passed along to the target to encode information about the MBB that an
instruction lives in to the outliner.
Second, it adds some of those flags to the AArch64 outliner in order to add
more stack instructions to the list of legal instructions that are handled
by the outliner. The two flags added check if
- There are calls in the MachineBasicBlock containing the instruction
- The link register is available in the entire block
If the link register is available and there are no calls, then a stack
instruction can always be outlined without fixups, regardless of what it is,
since in this case, the outliner will never modify the stack to create a
call or outlined frame.
The motivation for doing this was checking which instructions are most often
missed by the outliner. Instructions like, say
%sp<def> = ADDXri %sp, 32, 0; flags: FrameDestroy
are very common, but cannot be outlined in the case that the outliner might
modify the stack. This commit allows us to outline instructions like this.

LR was undefined entering outlined functions that contain calls. This made the
machine verifier unhappy when expensive checks were enabled. This fixes that.

The outliner previously would never outline calls. Calls are pretty common in
files, so it makes sense to outline them. In fact, in the LLVM test suite, if
you count the number of instructions that the outliner misses when you outline
calls vs when you don't, it turns out that, on average, around 6% of the
instructions encountered are calls. So, if we outline calls, we can find more
candidates, and thus save some more space.
This commit adds that functionality and updates the mir test to reflect that.

The offset overflow check before was incorrect. It would always give the
correct result, but it was comparing the SCALED potential fixed-up offset
against an UNSCALED minimum/maximum. As a result, the outliner was missing a
bunch of frame setup/destroy instructions that ought to have been safe to
outline. This fixes that, and adds an instruction to the .mir test that
failed the old test.

This commit allows the outliner to avoid saving and restoring the link register
on AArch64 when it is dead within an entire class of candidates.
This introduces changes to the way the outliner interfaces with the target.
For example, the target now interfaces with the outliner using a
MachineOutlinerInfo struct rather than by using getOutliningCallOverhead and
getOutliningFrameOverhead.
This also improves several comments on the outliner's cost model.

Before, the outliner would mark all instructions that read from/modify LR as
illegal. This doesn't handle W30, which overlaps with LR. This shouldn't be
outlined.
This commit fixes that by making modifiesRegister() and readsRegister() look at
W30 + take in a TRI argument. This makes sure that modifiesRegister() and
readsRegister() won't outline either of W30 and LR.
