[AArch64] Async unwind - function prologues
This patch rearranges emission of CFI instructions, so the resulting DWARF and `.eh_frame` information is precise at every instruction. The current state is that the unwind info is emitted only after the function prologue. This is fine for synchronous (e.g. C++) exceptions, but the information is generally incorrect when the program counter is at an instruction in the prologue or the epilogue, for example: ``` stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! // 16-byte Folded Spill mov x29, sp .cfi_def_cfa w29, 16 ... ``` after the `stp` is executed the (initial) rule for the CFA still says the CFA is in the `sp`, even though it's already offset by 16 bytes A correct unwind info could look like: ``` stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! // 16-byte Folded Spill .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 mov x29, sp .cfi_def_cfa w29, 16 ... ``` Having this information precise up to an instruction is useful for sampling profilers that would like to get a stack backtrace. The end goal (towards this patch is just a step) is to have fully working `-fasynchronous-unwind-tables`. Reviewed By: danielkiss, MaskRay Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D111411
