CodeGenPrepare::placeDebugValues moves variable location intrinsics to be
immediately after the Value they refer to. This makes tracking of locations
very easy; but it changes the order in which assignments appear to the
debugger, from the source programs order to the order in which the
optimised program computes values. This then leads to PR43986 and PR38754,
where variable locations that were in a conditional block are made
unconditional, which is highly misleading.
This patch adjusts placeDbgValues to only re-order variable location
intrinsics if they use a Value before it is defined, significantly reducing
the damage that it does. This is still not 100% safe, but the rest of
CodeGenPrepare needs polishing to correctly update debug info when
optimisations are performed to fully fix this.
This will probably break downstream debuginfo tests -- if the
instruction-stream position of variable location changes isn't the focus of
the test, an easy fix should be to manually apply placeDbgValues' behaviour
to the failing tests, moving dbg.value intrinsics next to SSA variable
definitions thus:
%foo = inst1
%bar = ...
%baz = ...
void call @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i32 %foo, ...
to
%foo = inst1
void call @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i32 %foo, ...
%bar = ...
%baz = ...
This should return your test to exercising whatever it was testing before.

Patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D43256 introduced more aggressive loop layout optimization which depends on profile information. If profile information is not available, the statically estimated profile information(generated by BranchProbabilityInfo.cpp) is used. If user program doesn't behave as BranchProbabilityInfo.cpp expected, the layout may be worse.
To be conservative this patch restores the original layout algorithm in plain mode. But user can still try the aggressive layout optimization with -force-precise-rotation-cost=true.

Current findBestLoopTop can find and move one kind of block to top, a latch block has one successor. Another common case is:
* a latch block
* it has two successors, one is loop header, another is exit
* it has more than one predecessors
If it is below one of its predecessors P, only P can fall through to it, all other predecessors need a jump to it, and another conditional jump to loop header. If it is moved before loop header, all its predecessors jump to it, then fall through to loop header. So all its predecessors except P can reduce one taken branch.

If bottom of block BB has only one successor OldTop, in most cases it is profitable to move it before OldTop, except the following case:
-->OldTop<-
| . |
| . |
| . |
---Pred |
| |
BB-----
Move BB before OldTop can't reduce the number of taken branches, this patch detects this case and prevent the moving.

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
Summary:
This patch will introduce copying of DBG_VALUE instructions
from an otherwise empty basic block to predecessor/successor
blocks in case the empty block is eliminated/bypassed. It
is currently only done in one identified situation in the
BranchFolding pass, before optimizing on empty block.
It can be seen as a light variant of the propagation done
by the LiveDebugValues pass, which unfortunately is executed
after the BranchFolding pass.
We only propagate (copy) DBG_VALUE instructions in a limited
number of situations:
a) If the empty BB is the only predecessor of a successor
we can copy the DBG_VALUE instruction to the beginning of
the successor (because the DBG_VALUE instruction is always
part of the flow between the blocks).
b) If the empty BB is the only successor of a predecessor
we can copy the DBG_VALUE instruction to the end of the
predecessor (because the DBG_VALUE instruction is always
part of the flow between the blocks). In this case we add
the DBG_VALUE just before the first terminator (assuming
that the terminators do not impact the DBG_VALUE).
A future solution, to handle more situations, could perhaps
be to run the LiveDebugValues pass before branch folding?
This fix is related to PR37234. It is expected to resolve
the problem seen, when applied together with the fix in
SelectionDAG from here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D46129
