This means that whenever we need to split a value, it is either already
defined by a concatenation instruction in a previously processed EBB, or
it's an EBB argument.
The EBB argument splitting may generate concat-split dependencies when
it repairs branch arguments in EBBs that have not yet been fully
legalized. Add a branch argument simplification step that can resolve
these dependency chains.
This means that all split and concatenation instructions will be dead
after legalization for types that have no legal instructions using them.
When the legalizer splits a value into halves, it would previously stop
if the value was an EBB argument. With this change, we also split EBB
arguments and iteratively split arguments on branches to the EBB.
The iterative splitting stops when we hit the entry block arguments or
an instruction that isn't one of the concatenation instructions.
Legalizing some instructions may require modifications to the control
flow graph, and some operations need to use the CFG analysis.
The CFG reference is threaded through all the legalization functions to
reach the generated expansion functions as well as the legalizer::split
module where it will be used first.
The legalizer often splits values into parts with the vsplit and
isplit_lohi instructions. Avoid doing that for values that are already
defined by the corresponding concatenation instructions.
This reduces the number of instructions created during legalization, and
it simplifies later optimizations. A number of dead concatenation
instructions are left behind. They can be trivially cleaned up by a dead
code elimination pass.
