NVPTX, SPIRV, and WebAssembly pass virtual registers to this function

<title>[llvm] Pass MachineInstr flags to storeRegToStackSlot/loadRegFromStackSlot (NFC) (#120622)</title>

This patch is in preparation to enable setting the MachineInstr::MIFlag
flags, i.e. FrameSetup/FrameDestroy, on callee saved register
spill/reload instructions in prologue/epilogue. This eventually helps in
setting the prologue_end and epilogue_begin markers more accurately.

The DWARF Spec in "6.4 Call Frame Information" says:

The code that allocates space on the call frame stack and performs the
save
operation is called the subroutine’s prologue, and the code that
performs
the restore operation and deallocates the frame is called its epilogue.

which means the callee saved register spills and reloads are part of
prologue (a.k.a frame setup) and epilogue (a.k.a frame destruction),
respectively. And, IIUC, LLVM backend uses FrameSetup/FrameDestroy flags
to identify instructions that are part of call frame setup and
destruction.

In the trunk, while most targets consistently set
FrameSetup/FrameDestroy on save/restore call frame information (CFI)
instructions of callee saved registers, they do not consistently set
those flags on the actual callee saved register spill/reload
instructions.

I believe this patch provides a clean mechanism to set
FrameSetup/FrameDestroy flags on the actual callee saved register
spill/reload instructions as needed. And, by having default argument of
MachineInstr::NoFlags for Flags, this patch is a NFC.

With this patch, the targets have to just pass FrameSetup/FrameDestroy
flag to the storeRegToStackSlot/loadRegFromStackSlot calls from the
target derived spillCalleeSavedRegisters and restoreCalleeSavedRegisters
to set those flags on callee saved register spill/reload instructions.

Also, this patch makes it very easy to set the source line information
on callee saved register spill/reload instructions which is needed by
the DwarfDebug.cpp implementation to set prologue_end and epilogue_begin
markers more accurately.

As per DwarfDebug.cpp implementation:

prologue_end is the first known non-DBG_VALUE and non-FrameSetup
location
    that marks the beginning of the function body

epilogue_begin is the first FrameDestroy location that has been seen in
the
    epilogue basic block

With this patch, the targets have to just do the following to set the
source line information on callee saved register spill/reload
instructions, without hampering the LLVM's efforts to avoid adding
source line information on the artificial code generated by the
compiler.

    &lt;Foo&gt;InstrInfo::storeRegToStackSlot() {
    ...
      DebugLoc DL =
Flags &amp; MachineInstr::FrameSetup ? DebugLoc() : MBB.findDebugLoc(I);
    ...
    }

    &lt;Foo&gt;InstrInfo::loadRegFromStackSlot() {
    ...
      DebugLoc DL =
Flags &amp; MachineInstr::FrameDestroy ? MBB.findDebugLoc(I) : DebugLoc();
    ...
    }

While I understand this patch would break out-of-tree backend builds, I
think it is in the right direction.

One immediate use case that can benefit from this patch is fixing
#120553 becomes simpler.</content>

<title>[ARM] Honour -mno-movt in stack protector handling (#109022)</title>

<id>2e47b93fd29ad6ef13a4134f3b0be3c42e91180c</id>
<content type='text'>
When -mno-movt is passed to Clang, the ARM codegen correctly avoids
movt/movw pairs to take the address of __stack_chk_guard in the stack
protector code emitted into the function pro- and epilogues. However,
the Thumb2 codegen fails to do so, and happily emits movw/movt pairs
unless it is generating an ELF binary and the symbol might be in a
different DSO. Let's incorporate a check for useMovt() in the logic
here, so movt/movw are never emitted when -mno-movt is specified.

Suggestions welcome for how/where to add a test case for this.

<content type='text'>
Fixes #82659

There are some functions, such as `findRegisterDefOperandIdx` and  `findRegisterDefOperand`, that have too many default parameters. As a result, we have encountered some issues due to the lack of TRI  parameters, as shown in issue #82411.

Following @RKSimon 's suggestion, this patch refactors 9 functions, including `{reads, kills, defines, modifies}Register`,  `registerDefIsDead`, and `findRegister{UseOperandIdx, UseOperand, DefOperandIdx, DefOperand}`, adjusting the order of the TRI parameter and making it required. In addition, all the places that call these functions have also been updated correctly to ensure no additional impact.

After this, the caller of these functions should explicitly know whether to pass the `TargetRegisterInfo` or just a `nullptr`.</content>

<title>[ARM][Thumb2] Mark BTI-clearing instructions as scheduling region boundaries (#87982)</title>

Following https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/68313 this patch
extends the idea to M-profile PACBTI.

The Machine Scheduler can reorder instructions within a scheduling
region depending on the scheduling policy set. If a BTI-clearing
instruction happens to partake in one such region, it might be moved
around, therefore ending up where it shouldn't.

The solution is to mark all BTI-clearing instructions as scheduling
region boundaries. This essentially means that they must not be part of
any scheduling region, and as consequence never get moved:

 - PAC
 - PACBTI
 - BTI
 - SG

Note that PAC isn't BTI-clearing, but it's replaced by PACBTI late in
the compilation pipeline.

As far as I know, currently it isn't possible to organically obtain code
that's susceptible to the bug:

- Instructions that write to SP are region boundaries. PAC seems to
always be followed by the pushing of r12 to the stack, so essentially
PAC is always by itself in a scheduling region.
- CALL_BTI is expanded into a machine instruction bundle. Bundles are
unpacked only after the last machine scheduler run. Thus setjmp and BTI
can be separated only if someone deliberately run the scheduler once
more.
- The BTI insertion pass is run late in the pipeline, only after the
last machine scheduling has run. So once again it can be reordered only
if someone deliberately runs the scheduler again.

Nevertheless, one can reasonably argue that we should prevent the bug in
spite of the compiler not being able to produce the required conditions
for it. If things change, the compiler will be robust against this
issue.

The tests written for this are contrived: bogus MIR instructions have
been added adjacent to the BTI-clearing instructions in order to have
them inside non-trivial scheduling regions.</content>
