I have convinced myself that it can only happen when a phi value dies. When it
happens, allocate new virtual registers for the components.

LiveRangeEdit::eliminateDeadDefs() will eventually be used by coalescing,
splitting, and spilling for dead code elimination. It can delete chains of dead
instructions as long as there are no dependency loops.
llvm-svn: 127287
The coalescer can in very rare cases leave too large live intervals around after
rematerializing cheap-as-a-move instructions.
Linear scan doesn't really care, but live range splitting gets very confused
when a live range is killed by a ghost instruction.
I will fix this properly in the coalescer after 2.9 branches.
llvm-svn: 127096
Values that map to a single new value in a new interval after splitting don't
need new PHIDefs, and if the parent value was never rematerialized the live
range will be the same.
llvm-svn: 126894
Extract the updateSSA() method from the too long extendRange().
LiveOutCache can be shared among all the new intervals since there is at most
one of the new ranges live out from each basic block.
llvm-svn: 126818
This method could probably be used by LiveIntervalAnalysis::shrinkToUses, and
now it can use extendIntervalEndTo() which coalesces ranges.
llvm-svn: 126803
The value map is currently not used, all values are 'complex mapped' and
LiveIntervalMap::mapValue is used to dig them out.
This is the first step in a series changes leading to the removal of
LiveIntervalMap. Its data structures can be shared among all the live intervals
created by a split, so it is wasteful to create a copy for each.
llvm-svn: 126800
An original endpoint is an instruction that killed or defined the original live
range before any live ranges were split.
When splitting global live ranges, avoid creating local live ranges without any
original endpoints. We may still create global live ranges without original
endpoints, but such a range won't be split again, and live range splitting still
terminates.
llvm-svn: 126151
If a live range is used by a terminator instruction, and that live range needs
to leave the block on the stack or in a different register, it can be necessary
to have both sides of the split live at the terminator instruction.
Example:
%vreg2 = COPY %vreg1
JMP %vreg1
Becomes after spilling %vreg2:
SPILL %vreg1
JMP %vreg1
The spill doesn't kill the register as is normally the case.
llvm-svn: 125102
A live range cannot be split everywhere in a basic block. A split must go before
the first terminator, and if the variable is live into a landing pad, the split
must happen before the call that can throw.
llvm-svn: 124894
If the found value is not live-through the block, we should only add liveness up
to the requested slot index. When the value is live-through, the whole block
should be colored.
Bug found by SSA verification in the machine code verifier.

The greedy register allocator revealed some problems with the value mapping in
SplitKit. We would sometimes start mapping values before all defs were known,
and that could change a value from a simple 1-1 mapping to a multi-def mapping
that requires ssa update.
The new approach collects all defs and register assignments first without
filling in any live intervals. Only when finish() is called, do we compute
liveness and mapped values. At this time we know with certainty which values map
to multiple values in a split range.
This also has the advantage that we can compute live ranges based on the
remaining uses after rematerializing at split points.
The current implementation has many opportunities for compile time optimization.

Region splitting includes loop splitting as a subset, and it is more generic.
The splitting heuristics for variables that are live in more than one block are
now:
1. Try to create a region that covers multiple basic blocks.
2. Try to create a new live range for each block with multiple uses.
3. Spill.
Steps 2 and 3 are similar to what the standard spiller is doing.

Analyze the live range's behavior entering and leaving basic blocks. Compute an
interference pattern for each allocation candidate, and use SpillPlacement to
find an optimal region where that register can be live.
This code is still not enabled.

The analysis will be needed by both the greedy register allocator and the
X86FloatingPoint pass. It only needs to be computed once when the CFG doesn't
change.
This pass is very fast, usually showing up as 0.0% wall time.

Edge bundles is an annotation on the CFG that turns it into a bipartite directed
graph where each basic block is connected to an outgoing and an ingoing bundle.
These bundles are useful for identifying regions of the CFG for live range
splitting.

the loop predecessors.
The register can be live-out from a predecessor without being live-in to the
loop header if there is a critical edge from the predecessor.
