Summary:
Bug: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39024
The bug reports that a vectorized loop is stepped through 4 times and each step through the loop seemed to show a different path. I found two problems here:
A) An incorrect line number on a preheader block (for.body.preheader) instruction causes a step into the loop before it begins.
B) Instructions in the middle block have different line numbers which give the impression of another iteration.
In this patch I give all of the middle block instructions the line number of the scalar loop latch terminator branch. This seems to provide the smoothest debugging experience because the vectorized loops will always end on this line before dropping into the scalar loop. To solve problem A I have altered llvm::SplitBlockPredecessors to accommodate loop header blocks.
I have set up a separate review D61933 for a fix which is required for this patch.

This commit reapplies r359426 (which was reverted in r360301 due to
performance problems) and rolls in D61940 to address the performance problem.
I've combined the two to avoid creating a span of slow-performance, and to
ease reverting if more problems crop up.
The summary of D61940: This patch removes the "ChangingRegs" facility in
DbgEntityHistoryCalculator, as its overapproximate nature can produce incorrect
variable locations. An unchanging register doesn't mean a variable doesn't
change its location.
The patch kills off everything that calculates the ChangingRegs vector.
Previously ChangingRegs spotted epilogues and marked registers as unchanging if
they weren't modified outside the epilogue, increasing the chance that we can
emit a single-location variable record. Without this feature,
debug-loc-offset.mir and pr19307.mir become temporarily XFAIL. They'll be
re-enabled by D62314, using the FrameDestroy flag to identify epilogues, I've
split this into two steps as FrameDestroy isn't necessarily supported by all
backends.
The logic for terminating variable locations at the end of a basic block now
becomes much more enjoyably simple: we just terminate them all.
Other test changes: inlined-argument.ll becomes XFAIL, but for a longer term.
The current algorithm for detecting that a variable has a single-location
doesn't work in this scenario (inlined function in multiple blocks), only other
bugs were making this test work. fission-ranges.ll gets slightly refreshed too,
as the location of "p" is now correctly determined to be a single location.

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.

Patch by Hsiangkai Wang.
llvm-svn: 331841
In 2010 a commit with no testcase and no further explanation
explicitly disabled the handling of inlined variables in
EmitFuncArgumentDbgValue(). I don't think there is a good reason for
this any more and re-enabling this adds debug locations for variables
associated with an LLVM function argument in functions that are
inlined into the first basic block. The only downside of doing this is
that we may insert a DBG_VALUE before the inlined scope, but (1) this
could be filtered out later, and (2) LiveDebugValues will not
propagate it into subsequent basic blocks if they don't dominate the
variable's lexical scope, so this seems like a small price to pay.
