This patch adds support to the instruction-referencing LiveDebugValues
implementation for emitting entry values. The instruction referencing
implementations tracking by value rather than location means that we can
get around two of the issues with VarLocs. DBG_VALUE instructions that
re-assign the same value to a variable are no longer a problem, because we
can "see through" to the value being assigned. We also don't need to do
anything special during the dataflow stages: the "variable value problem"
doesn't need to know whether a value is available most of the time, and the
times it deoes need to know are always when entry values need to be
terminated.
The patch modifies the "TransferTracker" class, adding methods to identify
when a variable ias an entry value candidate, and when a machine value is
an entry value. recoverAsEntryValue tests these two things and emits an
entry-value expression if they're true. It's used when we clobber or
otherwise lose a value and can't find a replacement location for the value
it contained.

Summary:
This is a fix for PR45009.
When working on D67492 I made DwarfExpression emit a single
DW_OP_entry_value operation covering the whole composite location
description that is produced if a register does not have a valid DWARF
number, and is instead composed of multiple register pieces. Looking
closer at the standard, this appears to not be valid DWARF. A
DW_OP_entry_value operation's block can only be a DWARF expression or a
register location description, so it appears to not be valid for it to
hold a composite location description like that.
See DWARFv5 sec. 2.5.1.7:
"The DW_OP_entry_value operation pushes the value that the described
location held upon entering the current subprogram. It has two
operands: an unsigned LEB128 length, followed by a block containing a
DWARF expression or a register location description (see Section
2.6.1.1.3 on page 39)."
Here is a dwarf-discuss mail thread regarding this:
http://lists.dwarfstd.org/pipermail/dwarf-discuss-dwarfstd.org/2020-March/004610.html
There was not a strong consensus reached there, but people seem to lean
towards that operations specified under 2.6 (e.g. DW_OP_piece) may not
be part of a DWARF expression, and thus the DW_OP_entry_value operation
can't contain those.
Perhaps we instead want to emit a entry value operation per each
DW_OP_reg* operation, e.g.:
- DW_OP_entry_value(DW_OP_regx sub_reg0),
DW_OP_stack_value,
DW_OP_piece 8,
- DW_OP_entry_value(DW_OP_regx sub_reg1),
DW_OP_stack_value,
DW_OP_piece 8,
[...]
The question then becomes how the call site should look; should a
composite location description be emitted there, and we then leave it up
to the debugger to match those two composite location descriptions?
Another alternative could be to emit a call site parameter entry for
each sub-register, but firstly I'm unsure if that is even valid DWARF,
and secondly it seems like that would complicate the collection of call
site values quite a bit. As far as I can tell GCC does not emit any
entry values / call sites in these cases, so we do not have something to
compare with, but the former seems like the more reasonable approach.
Currently when trying to emit a call site entry for a parameter composed
of multiple DWARF registers a (DwarfRegs.size() == 1) assert is
triggered in addMachineRegExpression(). Until the call site
representation is figured out, and until there is use for these entry
values in practice, this commit simply stops the invalid DWARF from
being emitted.

This patch enables the debug entry values feature.
- Remove the (CC1) experimental -femit-debug-entry-values option
- Enable it for x86, arm and aarch64 targets
- Resolve the test failures
- Leave the llc experimental option for targets that do not
support the CallSiteInfo yet

Summary:
Internally in LLVM's metadata we use DW_OP_entry_value operations with
the same semantics as DWARF; that is, its operand specifies the number
of bytes that the entry value covers.
At the time of emitting entry values we don't know the emitted size of
the DWARF expression that the entry value will cover. Currently the size
is hardcoded to 1 in DIExpression, and other values causes the verifier
to fail. As the size is 1, that effectively means that we can only have
valid entry values for registers that can be encoded in one byte, which
are the registers with DWARF numbers 0 to 31 (as they can be encoded as
single-byte DW_OP_reg0..DW_OP_reg31 rather than a multi-byte
DW_OP_regx). It is a bit confusing, but it seems like llvm-dwarfdump
will print an operation "correctly", even if the byte size is less than
that, which may make it seem that we emit correct DWARF for registers
with DWARF numbers > 31. If you instead use readelf for such cases, it
will interpret the number of specified bytes as a DWARF expression. This
seems like a limitation in llvm-dwarfdump.
As suggested in D66746, a way forward would be to add an internal
variant of DW_OP_entry_value, DW_OP_LLVM_entry_value, whose operand
instead specifies the number of operations that the entry value covers,
and we then translate that into the byte size at the time of emission.
In this patch that internal operation is added. This patch keeps the
limitation that a entry value can only be applied to simple register
locations, but it will fix the issue with the size operand being
incorrect for DWARF numbers > 31.
