Create a PHI value when merging with a known undef live-in

Summary

The following snippet illustrates the problem.

During register allocation, the value defined at 868 for vreg154:isub_hi (lane mask 0x0001) is extended to the use at 1564 via a single segment. That segment spans over the entry to BB#6, which is reachable from two places: the end of BB#5 (dominated by 868), and the end of BB#6. The value of vreg154:isub_hi is undefined when coming from the end of BB#6, which causes the verifier to complain.

To fix this, create a PHI when a defined value is merged with an undef value at the entry to a block. Currently, undef values are simply ignored when determining the need for PHIs, which leads to a problem when there is a unique defined value.

From what I remember the notion of a nullptr in Map for a block we had already Seen was introduced with the changes supporting undefs when recalculating liveness. I assumed that had the same role as the special VNI you introduce here. Can you elaborate the difference (and/or eliminate the cases looking for nullptr)?

Could you create a .mir test that just does llc -run-pass=liveintervals?

lib/CodeGen/LiveRangeCalc.cpp

Doesn't the Map[&B].first == nullptr case only exist to deal with undefs? Does it still happen with your changes?

(If you still need it, at least refactor it so we only do 1 lookup in Map).

The case where a block is in Seen, but the value is null refers to the situation where the register is live-through this block, but at the moment we don't know what value it has. The "UndefVNI" case denotes a situation where we know that this block undefines the register.

lib/CodeGen/LiveRangeCalc.cpp

Yes, it still happens. Actually there are 3 testcases in test/CodeGen/Hexagon where this occurs with these changes.

Replaced the .ll testcase with a shorter .mir. Avoided two Map lookups when checking block live-out value.

Thanks, LGTM.

This can be && instead of a nested if.

Sounds like we need some AU.addUsedIfAvailable<>() calls in the getUsageInfo of the MachineVerifier. Doesn't need to be in this patch though.

But then the condition wouldn't fit in a single line.

But it's two lines either way, isn't it? Not that I care too deeply about it, but my motivation for a single if, is that when I see two ifs, I usually start looking for "else code" or "common code after the inner if" that aren't present here.
