I posted full details of this on llvm-dev <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-May/141583.html>. We believe we're running into this error now because with this patch, inlining occurs after the sanitizers are run.

Since this has been breaking us for a few days, and unless other folks don't mind, I'm thinking it might be appropriate to temporarily revert this until there's a fix for either

Maybe the fix is to use `registerScalarOptimizerLateEPCallback()` instead of `registerPipelineStartEPCallback()`. But I'm not sure how to test that, could you try that and lmk if that fixes the issue?

Sure, feel free to revert.
