Layers:
- FunctionConvention: AST FunctionType: results, parameters
- ArgumentConventions: SIL function arguments
- ApplyOperandConventions: applied operands
The meaning of an integer index is determined by the collection
type. All the mapping between the various indices (results,
parameters, SIL argument, applied arguments) is restricted to the
collection type that owns that mapping. Remove the concept of a
"caller argument index".
In regular swift this is a nice optimization. In embedded swift it's a requirement, because the compiler needs to be able to specialize generic deinits of non-copyable types.
The new de-virtualization utilities are called from two places:
* from the new DeinitDevirtualizer pass. It replaces the old MoveOnlyDeinitDevirtualization, which is very basic and does not fulfill the needs for embedded swift.
* from MandatoryPerformanceOptimizations for embedded swift
Make filter APIs for UseList chainable by adding them to Sequence where Element == Operand
For example, it allows to write:
```
let singleUse = value.uses.ignoreDebugUses.ignoreUsers(ofType: EndAccessInst.self).singleUse
```
Also, add `UseList.getSingleUser(notOfType:)`
We inline a function (e.g. a struct initializer) into a global init function if the result is part of the initialized global.
Now, also handle functions with indirect return values. Such function can result from not-reabstracted generic specializations.
Handle cases where the result is stored into a temporary alloc_stack or directly stored to (a part) of the global variable.
Before this change, if a global variable is required to be statically initialized (e.g. due to @_section attribute), we don't allow its type to be a struct, only a scalar type works. This change improves on that by teaching MandatoryPerformanceOptimizations pass to inline struct initializer calls into initializer of globals, as long as they are simple enough so that we can be sure that we don't trigger recursive/infinite inlining.
Generic specialization drops metatype arguments and therefore exposes opportunities to remove dead metatype instructions.
Instead of removing dead metatype instructions before specialization, try to remove them after specialization.
* split the `PassContext` into multiple protocols and structs: `Context`, `MutatingContext`, `FunctionPassContext` and `SimplifyContext`
* change how instruction passes work: implement the `simplify` function in conformance to `SILCombineSimplifyable`
* add a mechanism to add a callback for inserted instructions
The pass to decide which functions should get stack protection was added in https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/60933, but was disabled by default.
This PR enables stack protection by default, but not the possibility to move arguments into temporaries - to keep the risk low.
Moving to temporaries can be enabled with the new frontend option `-enable-move-inout-stack-protector`.

It decides which functions need stack protection.
It sets the `needStackProtection` flags on all function which contain stack-allocated values for which an buffer overflow could occur.
Within safe swift code there shouldn't be any buffer overflows.
But if the address of a stack variable is converted to an unsafe pointer, it's not in the control of the compiler anymore.
This means, if there is any `address_to_pointer` instruction for an `alloc_stack`, such a function is marked for stack protection.
Another case is `index_addr` for non-tail allocated memory.
This pattern appears if pointer arithmetic is done with unsafe pointers in swift code.
If the origin of an unsafe pointer can only be tracked to a function argument, the pass tries to find the root stack allocation for such an argument by doing an inter-procedural analysis.
If this is not possible, the fallback is to move the argument into a temporary `alloc_stack` and do the unsafe pointer operations on the temporary.
