Summary:
Replace any extant metadata uses of a dying instruction with undef to
preserve debug info accuracy. Some alternatives include:
- Treat Instruction like any other Value, and point its extant metadata
uses to an empty ValueAsMetadata node. This makes extant dbg.value uses
trivially dead (i.e. fair game for deletion in many passes), leading to
stale dbg.values being in effect for too long.
- Call salvageDebugInfoOrMarkUndef. Not needed to make instruction removal
correct. OTOH results in wasted work in some common cases (e.g. when all
instructions in a BasicBlock are deleted).
This came up while discussing some basic cases in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D80052.

This is a follow up to D64971. While we need to insert the deref after
the offset, it needs to come before the remaining elements in the
original expression since the deref needs to happen before the LLVM
fragment if present.

While debugging code that uses SafeStack, we've noticed that LLVM
produces an invalid DWARF. Concretely, in the following example:
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
std::string value = "";
printf("%s\n", value.c_str());
return 0;
}
DWARF would describe the value variable as being located at:
DW_OP_breg14 R14+0, DW_OP_deref, DW_OP_constu 0x20, DW_OP_minus
The assembly to get this variable is:
leaq -32(%r14), %rbx
The order of operations in the DWARF symbols is incorrect in this case.
Specifically, the deref is incorrect; this appears to be incorrectly
re-inserted in repalceOneDbgValueForAlloca.
With this change which inserts the deref after the offset instead of
before it, LLVM produces correct DWARF:
DW_OP_breg14 R14-32

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

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:
Most DIExpressions are empty or very simple. When they are complex, they
tend to be unique, so checking them inline is reasonable.
This also avoids the need for CodeGen passes to append to the
llvm.dbg.mir named md node.
See also PR22780, for making DIExpression not be an MDNode.

There is no situation where this rarely-used argument cannot be
substituted with a DIExpression and removing it allows us to simplify
the DWARF backend. Note that this patch does not yet remove any of
the newly dead code.

Summary:
This patch is part of 3 patches that together form a single patch, but must be introduced in stages in order not to break things.
The way that LLVM interprets DW_OP_plus in DIExpression nodes is basically that of the DW_OP_plus_uconst operator since LLVM expects an unsigned constant operand. This unnecessarily restricts the DW_OP_plus operator, preventing it from being used to describe the evaluation of runtime values on the expression stack. These patches try to align the semantics of DW_OP_plus and DW_OP_minus with that of the DWARF definition, which pops two elements off the expression stack, performs the operation and pushes the result back on the stack.
This is done in three stages:
• The first patch (LLVM) adds support for DW_OP_plus_uconst.
• The second patch (Clang) contains changes all its uses from DW_OP_plus to DW_OP_plus_uconst.
• The third patch (LLVM) changes the semantics of DW_OP_plus and DW_OP_minus to be in line with its DWARF meaning. This patch includes the bitcode upgrade from legacy DIExpressions.
