Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for fixing this. What do you think about using register units throughout the pass? I found them so much clearer to use when dealing with register aliases. @MatzeB has a great presentation on it: 2016 LLVM Developers' Meeting: M. Braun "Dealing with Register Hierarchies".

Would MO.readsReg() be a better fit here?

I would comment on what the unsigned values represent.

I think I saw the case where LiveRegUnits is used to find a scratch reg. It seems possible to use it here as well. Let me take a little closer look at it. I think it should be a separate NFC patch.

One case where readReg works better is when the source of Copy is undef, but I'm not perfectly clear if it's safe to skip the internal read.

Just minor update in comments.

I keep isUse() here with FIXME since I'm not perfectly sure if skipping the internal read is safe in all other targets.

Even without LiveRegUnits, I think you could replace ModifiedRegs and UsedRegs to be ModifiedRegUnits and UsedRegUnits, and use MCRegUnitIterators to check if registers alias.

I'm ok to commit this and follow-up in separate patches for the rest. Thanks!

Ok, sounds good to me.

1127–1129

Any particular reason why we need to store both the register and the operand idx?

Make sense to me. I will do this in a separate patch.

The operand idx will be used in clearKillFlags() to set the kill flag in src reg of the Copy sunk if the src reg is killed in an instruction placed between Copy and the end of the block.

Right, I was just curious why not only use the operand idx and use MI.getOperand(OpIdx).getReg() to retrieve the register.

I see what you mean. I will change it to keep only operand idx and get the register using MI.getOperand(OpIdx).getReg() .

Addressed Francis' comment.

LGTM, thanks!
