BPF XADD semantics require all Defs of XADD are dead, meaning any result of
XADD insn is not used.
However, BPF backend hasn't enabled sub-register liveness track, so when
the source and destination operands of XADD are GPR32, there is no
sub-register dead info. If we rely on the generic
MachineInstr::allDefsAreDead, then we will raise false alarm on GPR32 Def.
This was fine as there was no sub-register code-gen support for XADD which
will be added by the next patch.
To support GPR32 Def, ideally we could just enable sub-registr liveness
track on BPF backend, then allDefsAreDead could work on GPR32 Def. This
requires implementing TargetSubtargetInfo::enableSubRegLiveness on BPF.
However, sub-register liveness tracking module inside LLVM is actually
designed for the situation where one register could be split into more
than one sub-registers for which case each sub-register could have their
own liveness and kill one of them doesn't kill others. So, tracking
liveness for each make sense.
For BPF, each 64-bit register could only have one 32-bit sub-register. This
is exactly the case which LLVM think brings no benefits for doing
sub-register tracking, because the live range of sub-register must always
equal to its parent register, therefore liveness tracking is disabled even
the back-end has implemented enableSubRegLiveness. The detailed information
is at r232695:

Do not track subregister liveness when it brings no benefits
Hence, for BPF, we enhance MachineInstr::allDefsAreDead. Given the solo
sub-register always has the same liveness as its parent register, LLVM is
already attaching a implicit 64-bit register Def whenever the there is
a sub-register Def. The liveness of the implicit 64-bit Def is available.
For example, for "lock *(u32 *)(r0 + 4) += w9", the MachineOperand info
could be:
$w9 = XADDW32 killed $r0, 4, $w9(tied-def 0),
implicit killed $r9, implicit-def dead $r9
Even though w9 is not marked as Dead, the parent register r9 is marked as
Dead correctly, and it is safe to use such information or our purpose.
