As part of the unification of the debug format and the MIR format,
always print registers as lowercase.
* Only debug printing is affected. It now follows MIR.

cmpxchg[8|16]b uses RBX as one of its argument.
In other words, using this instruction clobbers RBX as it is defined to hold one
the input. When the backend uses dynamically allocated stack, RBX is used as a
reserved register for the base pointer.
Reserved registers have special semantic that only the target understands and
enforces, because of that, the register allocator don’t use them, but also,
don’t try to make sure they are used properly (remember it does not know how
they are supposed to be used).
Therefore, when RBX is used as a reserved register but defined by something that
is not compatible with that use, the register allocator will not fix the
surrounding code to make sure it gets saved and restored properly around the
broken code. This is the responsibility of the target to do the right thing with
its reserved register.
To fix that, when the base pointer needs to be preserved, we use a different
pseudo instruction for cmpxchg that save rbx.
That pseudo takes two more arguments than the regular instruction:
- One is the value to be copied into RBX to set the proper value for the
comparison.
- The other is the virtual register holding the save of the value of RBX as the
base pointer. This saving is done as part of isel (i.e., we emit a copy from
rbx).
cmpxchg_save_rbx <regular cmpxchg args>, input_for_rbx_reg, save_of_rbx_as_bp
This gets expanded into:
rbx = copy input_for_rbx_reg
cmpxchg <regular cmpxchg args>
rbx = save_of_rbx_as_bp
Note: The actual modeling of the pseudo is a bit more complicated to make sure
the interferes that appears after the pseudo gets expanded are properly modeled
before that expansion.
This fixes PR26883.

The fix consisting in using the library call for atomic compare and swap when
the instruction is not safe to use may be incorrect. Indeed the library call may
not exist on all platform. In other words, we need a better fix!

cmpxchgXXb uses RBX as one of its implicit argument. I.e., when
we use that instruction we need to clobber RBX. This is generally
fine, expect when RBX is a reserved register because in that case,
the register allocator will not track its value and will not
save and restore it when interferences occur.
