Before we start addressing the issue with having
a lot of false positives when using debugify in
the original mode, we have made a few patches that
should speed up the execution of the testing
utility Passes.
For example, when testing a large project
(let's say LLVM project itself), we can face
a lot of potential DI issues. Usually, we use
-verify-each-debuginfo-preserve (that is very
similar to -debugify-each) -- it collects
DI metadata before each Pass, and after the Pass
it checks if the Pass preserved the DI metadata.
However, we can speed up this process, since we
don't need to collect DI metadata before each
Pass -- we could use the DI metadata that are
collected after the previous Pass from
the pipeline as an input for the next Pass.
This patch speeds up the utility for ~2x.

[Debugify][Original DI] Test dbg var loc preservation
This is an improvement of [0]. This adds checking of
original llvm.dbg.values()/declares() instructions in
optimizations.
We have picked a real issue that has been found with
this (actually, picked one variable location missing
from [1] and resolved the issue), and the result is
the fix for that -- D100844.
Before applying the D100844, using the options from [0]
(but with this patch applied) on the compilation of GDB 7.11,
the final HTML report for the debug-info issues can be found
at [1] (please scroll down, and look for
"Summary of Variable Location Bugs"). After applying
the D100844, the numbers has improved a bit -- please take
a look into [2].

The Unit test was failing because the pass from the test that
modifies the IR, in its runOnFunction() didn't return 'true',
so the expensive-check configuration triggered an assertion.

As discussed on the RFC [0], I am sharing the set of patches that
enables checking of original Debug Info metadata preservation in
optimizations. The proof-of-concept/proposal can be found at [1].
The implementation from the [1] was full of duplicated code,
so this set of patches tries to merge this approach into the existing
debugify utility.
For example, the utility pass in the original-debuginfo-check
mode could be invoked as follows:
$ opt -verify-debuginfo-preserve -pass-to-test sample.ll
Since this is very initial stage of the implementation,
there is a space for improvements such as:
- Add support for the new pass manager
- Add support for metadata other than DILocations and DISubprograms
