As stated in section 6.1.1.2, DWARFv5, p. 142,
| The last entry for each name is followed by a zero byte that
| terminates the list. There may be gaps between the lists.
The patch changes emitting a 4-byte zero value to a 1-byte one, which
effectively removes the gap between entry lists, and thus saves
approximately 3 bytes per name; the calculation is not exact because
the total size of the table is aligned to 4.

Almost NFC (see end).
The backwards scan in validThroughout significantly contributed to compile time
for a pathological case, causing the 'X86 Assembly Printer' pass to account for
roughly 70% of the run time. This patch guards the loop against running
unnecessarily, bringing the pass contribution down to 4%.
Almost NFC: There is a hack in validThroughout which promotes single constant
value DBG_VALUEs in the prologue to be live throughout the function. We're more
likely to hit this code path with this patch applied. Similarly to the parent
patches there is a small coverage change reported in the order of 10s of bytes.

With the changes introduced in D86151 we can now check for single locations
which span multiple blocks for inlined scopes and blocks.
D86151 introduced the InstructionOrdering parameter, replacing a scan through
MBB instructions. The functionality to compare instruction positions across
blocks was add there, and this patch just removes the exit checks that were
previously (but no longer) required.
CTMark shows a geomean binary size reduction of 2.2% for RelWithDebInfo builds.
llvm-locstats (using D85636) shows a very small variable location coverage

With this patch we're now accounting for two more cases which should be
considered 'valid throughout': First, where RangeEnd is ScopeEnd. Second, where
RangeEnd comes before ScopeEnd when including meta instructions, but are both
preceded by the same non-meta instruction.
CTMark shows a geomean binary size reduction of 1.5% for RelWithDebInfo builds.
`llvm-locstats` (using D85636) shows a very small variable location coverage
change in 2 of 10 binaries, but it is in the order of 10s of bytes which lines
up with my expectations.
I've added a test which checks both of these new cases. The first check in the
test isn't strictly necessary for this patch. But I'm not sure that it is
explicitly tested anywhere else, and is useful for the final patch in the
series.

Patch is revised to address Endianness issue. Furthermore, support
for emission of `DW_OP_implicit_value` for `long double` has been removed

llvm is missing support for DW_OP_implicit_value operation.

Theory was that we should never reach a non-type unit (eg: type in an
anonymous namespace) when we're already in the invalid "encountered an
address-use, so stop emitting types for now, until we throw out the
whole type tree to restart emitting in non-type unit" state. But that's
not the case (prior commit cleaned up one reason this wasn't exposed
sooner - but also makes it easier to test/demonstrate this issue)
dumpStringOffsetsSection() expects the size of a contribution to be
correctly aligned. The patch adds the corresponding verifications for

Allow the GNU .debug_macro extension to be emitted for DWARF versions
earlier than 5. The extension is basically what became DWARF 5's format,
except that a DW_AT_GNU_macros attribute is emitted, and some entries
like the strx entries are missing. In this patch I emit GNU's indirect
entries, which are the same as DWARF 5's strp entries.
This patch adds the extension behind a hidden LLVM flag,
-use-gnu-debug-macro. I would later want to enable it by default when
tuning for GDB and targeting DWARF versions earlier than 5.
The size of a Clang 8.0 binary built with RelWithDebInfo and the flags
"-gdwarf-4 -fdebug-macro" reduces from 1533 MB to 1349 MB with

This patch changes the functionality of AsmPrinter to name the basic block end labels as LBB_END${i}_${j}, with ${i} being the identifier for the function and ${j} being the identifier for the basic block. The new naming scheme is consistent with how basic block labels are named (.LBB${i}_{j}), and how function end symbol are named (.Lfunc_end${i}) and helps to write stronger tests for the upcoming patch for BB-Info section (as proposed in https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/143512.html). The end label is used with basicblock-labels (BB-Info section in future) and basicblock-sections to compute the size of basic blocks and basic block sections, respectively. For BB sections, the section containing the entry basic block will not have a BB end label since it already gets the function end-label.
This label is cached for every basic block (CachedEndMCSymbol) like the label for the basic block (CachedMCSymbol).

Summary:
This patch reduces file size in debug builds by dropping variable locations a
debugger user will not see.
After building the debug entity history map we loop through it. For each
variable we look at each entry. If the entry opens a location range which does
not intersect any of the variable's scope's ranges then we mark it for removal.
After visiting the entries for each variable we also mark any clobbering
entries which will no longer be referenced for removal, and then finally erase
the marked entries. This all requires the ability to query the order of
instructions, so before this runs we number them.
Tests:
Added llvm/test/DebugInfo/X86/trim-var-locs.mir
Modified llvm/test/DebugInfo/COFF/register-variables.ll
Branch folding merges the tails of if.then and if.else into if.else. Each
blocks' debug-locations point to different scopes so when they're merged we
can't use either. Because of this the variable 'c' ends up with a location
range which doesn't cover any instructions in its scope; with the patch
applied the location range is dropped and its flag changes to IsOptimizedOut.
Modified llvm/test/DebugInfo/X86/live-debug-variables.ll
Modified llvm/test/DebugInfo/ARM/PR26163.ll
In both tests an out of scope location is now removed. The remaining location
covers the entire scope of the variable allowing us to emit it as a single
location.

The test doesn't really demonstrate the use of the debug_loc.dwo section
distinct from the debug_loc section for strings in debug_macro.dwo -
because there are no strings that appear uin debug_loc.dwo that weren't
already in debug_loc, so the indexes would remain the same even if the
section that was used was fixed (to use debug_loc.dwo as per spec).

Record internal state based on register units. This is often more

Summary:
This is a result of the discussion at D78113. Previously we would be
only giving the current offset at which the error was detected. However,
this was phrased somewhat ambiguously (as it could also mean that end of
data was at that offset). The new error message includes the current
offset as well as the extent of the data being read.
I've changed a couple of file-level static functions into private member
functions in order to avoid passing a bunch of new arguments everywhere.
