[FastISel] Flush local value map on ever instruction
Local values are constants or addresses that can't be folded into the instruction that uses them. FastISel materializes these in a "local value" area that always dominates the current insertion point, to try to avoid materializing these values more than once (per block). https://reviews.llvm.org/D43093 added code to sink these local value instructions to their first use, which has two beneficial effects. One, it is likely to avoid some unnecessary spills and reloads; two, it allows us to attach the debug location of the user to the local value instruction. The latter effect can improve the debugging experience for debuggers with a "set next statement" feature, such as the Visual Studio debugger and PS4 debugger, because instructions to set up constants for a given statement will be associated with the appropriate source line. There are also some constants (primarily addresses) that could be produced by no-op casts or GEP instructions; the main difference from "local value" instructions is that these are values from separate IR instructions, and therefore could have multiple users across multiple basic blocks. D43093 avoided sinking these, even though they were emitted to the same "local value" area as the other instructions. The patch comment for D43093 states: Local values may also be used by no-op casts, which adds the register to the RegFixups table. Without reversing the RegFixups map direction, we don't have enough information to sink these instructions. This patch undoes most of D43093, and instead flushes the local value map after(*) every IR instruction, using that instruction's debug location. This avoids sometimes incorrect locations used previously, and emits instructions in a more natural order. This does mean materialized values are not re-used across IR instruction boundaries; however, only about 5% of those values were reused in an experimental self-build of clang. (*) Actually, just prior to the next instruction. It seems like it would be cleaner the other way, but I was having trouble getting that to work.
