[llvm] [StackColoring] Handle SEH catch object stack slots conservatively (PR #66988)

https://github.com/nikic created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/66988

The write to the SEH catch object happens before cleanuppads are executed, while the first reference to the object will typically be in a catchpad.

If we make use of first-use analysis, we may end up allocating an alloca used inside the cleanuppad and the catch object at the same stack offset, which would be incorrect.

https://reviews.llvm.org/D86673 was a previous attempt to fix it. It used the heuristic "a slot loaded in a WinEH pad and never written" to detect catch objects. However, because it checks for more than one load (while probably more than zero was intended), the fix does not actually work.

The general approach also seems dubious to me, so this patch reverts that change entirely, and instead marks all catch object slots as conservative (i.e. excluded from first-use analysis) based on the WinEHFuncInfo. As far as I can tell we don't need any heuristics here, we know exactly which slots are affected.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/66984.

Subject: [PATCH] [StackColoring] Handle SEH catch object stack slots
 conservatively

The write to the SEH catch object happens before cleanuppads are
executed, while the first reference to the object will typically
be in a catchpad.

If we make use of first-use analysis, we may end up allocating
an alloca used inside the cleanuppad and the catch object at the
same stack offset, which would be incorrect.

https://reviews.llvm.org/D86673 was a previous attempt to fix it.
It used the heuristic "a slot loaded in a WinEH pad and never
written" to detect catch objects. However, because it checks
for more than one load (while probably more than zero was
intended), the fix does not actually work.

The general approach also seems dubious to me, so this patch
reverts that change entirely, and instead marks all catch object
slots as conservative (i.e. excluded from first-use analysis)
based on the WinEHFuncInfo. As far as I can tell we don't need
any heuristics here, we know exactly which slots are affected.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/66984.
