This class is meant to be the primary interface for examining a live
range in the vicinity on a given instruction. It avoids all the messy
dealings with iterators and early clobbers.
This is a more abstract interface to live ranges, hiding the
implementation as a vector of segments.

Dead code elimination during coalescing could cause a virtual register
to be split into connected components. The following rewriting would be
confused about the already joined copies present in the code, but
without a corresponding value number in the live range.
Erase all joined copies instantly when joining intervals such that the
MI and LiveInterval representations are always in sync.

The current code will generate a prologue which starts with something like:
mflr 0
stw 31, -4(1)
stw 0, 4(1)
stwu 1, -16(1)
But under the PPC32 SVR4 ABI, access to negative offsets from R1 is not allowed.
This was pointed out by Peter Bergner.

Dead code and joined copies are now eliminated on the fly, and there is
no need for a post pass.
This makes the coalescer work like other modern register allocator
passes: Code is changed on the fly, there is no pending list of changes
to be committed.

The late dead code elimination is no longer necessary.
The test changes are cause by a register hint that can be either %rdi or
%rax. The choice depends on the use list order, which this patch changes.

Before rewriting uses of one value in A to register B, check that there
are no tied uses. That would require multiple A values to be rewritten.
This bug can't bite in the current version of the code for a fairly
subtle reason: A tied use would have caused 2-addr to insert a copy
before the use. If the copy has been coalesced, it will be found by the
same loop changed by this patch, and the optimization is aborted.
This was exposed by 400.perlbench and lua after applying a patch that
deletes joined copies aggressively.

Remaining virtreg->physreg copies were rematerialized during
updateRegDefsUses(), but we already do the same thing in joinCopy() when
visiting the physreg copy instruction.
Eliminate the preserveSrcInt argument to reMaterializeTrivialDef(). It
is now always true.
llvm-svn: 157103
Dead copies cause problems because they are trivial to coalesce, but
removing them gived the live range a dangling end point. This patch
enables full dead code elimination which trims live ranges to their uses
so end points don't dangle.
DCE may erase multiple instructions. Put the pointers in an ErasedInstrs
set so we never risk visiting erased instructions in the work list.
There isn't supposed to be any dead copies entering RegisterCoalescer,
but they do slip by as evidenced by test/CodeGen/X86/coalescer-dce.ll.

getUDivExpr attempts to simplify by checking for overflow.
isLoopEntryGuardedByCond then evaluates the loop predicate which
may lead to the same getUDivExpr causing endless recursion.
Fixes PR12868: clang 3.2 segmentation fault.

Use a dedicated MachO load command to annotate data-in-code regions.
This is the same format the linker produces for final executable images,
allowing consistency of representation and use of introspection tools
for both object and executable files.
Data-in-code regions are annotated via ".data_region"/".end_data_region"
directive pairs, with an optional region type.
data_region_directive := ".data_region" { region_type }
region_type := "jt8" | "jt16" | "jt32" | "jta32"
end_data_region_directive := ".end_data_region"
The previous handling of ARM-style "$d.*" labels was broken and has
been removed. Specifically, it didn't handle ARM vs. Thumb mode when
marking the end of the section.

It is no longer necessary to separate VirtCopies, PhysCopies, and
ImpDefCopies. Implicitly defined copies are extremely rare after we
added the ProcessImplicitDefs pass, and physical register copies are not
joined any longer.
llvm-svn: 157059
This has been disabled for a while, and it is not a feature we want to
support. Copies between physical and virtual registers are eliminated by
good hinting support in the register allocator. Joining virtual and
physical registers is really a form of register allocation, and the
coalescer is not properly equipped to do that. In particular, it cannot
backtrack coalescing decisions, and sometimes that would cause it to
create programs that were impossible to register allocate, by exhausting
a small register class.
It was also very difficult to keep track of the live ranges of aliasing
registers when extending the live range of a physreg. By disabling
physreg joining, we can let fixed physreg live ranges remain constant
throughout the register allocator super-pass.
One type of physreg joining remains: A virtual register that has a
single value which is a copy of a reserved register can be merged into
the reserved physreg. This always lowers register pressure, and since we
don't compute live ranges for reserved registers, there are no problems
with aliases.
