Check for register clobbers when merging a vreg live range with a reserved physreg in RegisterCoalescer.

[jyknight]

Summary

Previously, we only checked for clobbers when merging into a READ of
the physreg, but not when merging from a WRITE to the physreg.

Makes sense, I am surprised this didn't hit us before.

Could you create a .mir based test that just runs the coalescer instead of the .ll one?

[jyknight]

Added MIR test case to AArch64/regcoal-physreg.mir.

I noted the existing MIR test in AArch64/regcoal-physreg.mir, and added another test-case there.

I also noticed while writing this new test case that MachineRegisterInfo::isConstantPhysReg treats any register without a visible def in the function as "constant". And thus, the newly added test case doesn't work -- it will coalesce -- without the "%x18 = COPY %xzr" line.

I'm not sure this is correct behavior, since it *also* fails to take into account regmasks, but I also don't know if there's a situation where it would actually matter -- in the actual case I'm looking at, the inlineasm is a def of the register, so that's fine.

That sounds like a bug to me.
I would have expected the constant attribute to be decided by the target, i.e., not something that depends on the presence of a definition.

Could you investigate please?

LGTM
The "no-def+!allocatable => constant" rule has been there for a long time in MachineRegisterInfo::isConstantPhysReg(), not sure we need to check/question it as part of this commit...

Oh, I missed the !allocatable in the description of the problem.
Yeah, no need to investigate then.

You could use something else than x18 to avoid the !allocatable case that Matthias mentioned, right?
What I am saying is that the comment is a bit misleading as it is, because this is expected when register are not allocatable.

The bug only exhibits for reserved registers in the first place (and only, then, if it is also clobbered by a call), so another register wouldn't be appropriate.

         if (!MRI->isReserved(*RI))

       if (RHS.overlaps(LIS->getRegUnit(*UI))) {
         DEBUG(dbgs() << "\t\tInterference: " << PrintRegUnit(*UI, TRI) << '\n');
         return false;
       }
     }

   }
 
   // Skip any value computations, we are not adding new values to the
   // reserved register.  Also skip merging the live ranges, the reserved
   // register live range doesn't need to be accurate as long as all the
