<title>[DLCov][NFC] Annotate intentionally-blank DebugLocs in existing code (#136192)</title>

<content type='text'>
Following the work in PR #107279, this patch applies the annotative
DebugLocs, which indicate that a particular instruction is intentionally
missing a location for a given reason, to existing sites in the compiler
where their conditions apply. This is NFC in ordinary LLVM builds (each
function `DebugLoc::getFoo()` is inlined as `DebugLoc()`), but marks the
instruction in coverage-tracking builds so that it will be ignored by
Debugify, allowing only real errors to be reported. From a developer
standpoint, it also communicates the intentionality and reason for a
missing DebugLoc.

Some notes for reviewers:

- The difference between `I-&gt;dropLocation()` and
`I-&gt;setDebugLoc(DebugLoc::getDropped())` is that the former _may_ decide
to keep some debug info alive, while the latter will always be empty; in
this patch, I always used the latter (even if the former could
technically be correct), because the former could result in some
(barely) different output, and I'd prefer to keep this patch purely NFC.
- I've generally documented the uses of `DebugLoc::getUnknown()`, with
the exception of the vectorizers - in summary, they are a huge cause of
dropped source locations, and I don't have the time or the domain
knowledge currently to solve that, so I've plastered it all over them as
a form of "fixme".</content>

<title>[NFC][DebugInfo] Use iterator-flavour getFirstNonPHI at many call-sites (#123737)</title>

<id>6292a808b3524d9ba6f4ce55bc5b9e547b088dd8</id>
<content type='text'>
As part of the "RemoveDIs" project, BasicBlock::iterator now carries a
debug-info bit that's needed when getFirstNonPHI and similar feed into
instruction insertion positions. Call-sites where that's necessary were
updated a year ago; but to ensure some type safety however, we'd like to
have all calls to getFirstNonPHI use the iterator-returning version.

This patch changes a bunch of call-sites calling getFirstNonPHI to use
getFirstNonPHIIt, which returns an iterator. All these call sites are
where it's obviously safe to fetch the iterator then dereference it. A
follow-up patch will contain less-obviously-safe changes.

We'll eventually deprecate and remove the instruction-pointer
getFirstNonPHI, but not before adding concise documentation of what
considerations are needed (very few).

This fixes a compile-time regression caused by #116645, where an entry
basic block with a very large number of allocas and other instructions
caused SROA to take ~100× its expected runtime, as every alloca (with ~2
uses) now calls this method to find the order of those few instructions,
rescanning the very large basic block every single time.

Since this code was originally written, Instructions now have ordering
numbers available to determine relative order without unnecessarily
scanning the basic block.</content>

<title>[SROA] Optimize reloaded values in allocas that escape into readonly nocapture calls. (#116645)</title>

Given an alloca that potentially has many uses in big complex code and
escapes into a call that is readonly+nocapture, we cannot easily split
up the alloca. There are several optimizations that will attempt to take
a value that is stored and a reload, and replace the load with the
original stored value. Instcombine has some simple heuristics, GVN can
sometimes do it, as can CSE in limited situations. They all suffer from
the same issue with complex code - they start from a load/store and need
to prove no-alias for all code between, which in complex cases might be
a lot to look through. Especially if the ptr is an alloca with many uses
that is over the normal escape capture limits.

The pass that does do well with allocas is SROA, as it has a complete
view of all of the uses. This patch adds a case to SROA where it can
detect allocas that are passed into calls that are no-capture readonly.
It can then optimize the reloaded values inside the alloca slice with
the stored value knowing that it is valid no matter the location of the
loads/stores from the no-escaping nature of the alloca.

`getModule()-&gt;getDataLayout()` is also a common (the most common?)

<title>[RemoveDIs][NFC] Rename DPValue -&gt; DbgVariableRecord (#85216)</title>

<id>ffd08c7759000f55332f1657a1fab64a7adc03fd</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the major rename patch that prior patches have built towards.
The DPValue class is being renamed to DbgVariableRecord, which reflects
the updated terminology for the "final" implementation of the RemoveDI
feature. This is a pure string substitution + clang-format patch. The
only manual component of this patch was determining where to perform
these string substitutions: `DPValue` and `DPV` are almost exclusively
used for DbgRecords, *except* for:

- llvm/lib/target, where 'DP' is used to mean double-precision, and so
appears as part of .td files and in variable names. NB: There is a
single existing use of `DPValue` here that refers to debug info, which
I've manually updated.
- llvm/tools/gold, where 'LDPV' is used as a prefix for symbol
visibility enums.

Outside of these places, I've applied several basic string
substitutions, with the intent that they only affect DbgRecord-related
identifiers; I've checked them as I went through to verify this, with
reasonable confidence that there are no unintended changes that slipped
through the cracks. The substitutions applied are all case-sensitive,
and are applied in the order shown:

```
  DPValue -&gt; DbgVariableRecord
  DPVal -&gt; DbgVarRec
  DPV -&gt; DVR
```

Following the previous rename patches, it should be the case that there
are no instances of any of these strings that are meant to refer to the
general case of DbgRecords, or anything other than the DPValue class.
The idea behind this patch is therefore that pure string substitution is
correct in all cases as long as these assumptions hold.</content>
