[LLVMdev] Optimization passes break machine instructions on new backend

Hello!

I'm working on a new back-end and have hit a bit of a snag. I'm working on
getting selectcc working and have followed the MSP430 model of emitting a
custom CMP and SELECT_CC node and matching that with a pseudo-instruction
that has useCustomEmitter=1. However, my output ends up very wrong, despite
the Machine code being initially correct:

# Machine code for function func:
Function Live Ins: %R0 in reg%16384, %R1 in reg%16385, %R2 in reg%16386, %R3
in reg%16387
Function Live Outs: %R0

BB#0: derived from LLVM BB %entry
    Live Ins: %R0 %R1 %R2 %R3
        %reg16387<def> = COPY %R3; IntRegs:%reg16387
        %reg16386<def> = COPY %R2; IntRegs:%reg16386
        %reg16385<def> = COPY %R1; IntRegs:%reg16385
        %reg16384<def> = COPY %R0; IntRegs:%reg16384
        %reg16390<def> = MOVE %reg16386; IntRegs:%reg16390,16386
        %reg16388<def> = CMPrr %reg16384, %reg16385, %CFR<imp-def,dead>;
IntRegs:%reg16388,16384,16385
        SKIPCOND 1, %CFR<imp-use>
    Successors according to CFG: BB#2 BB#1

BB#1: derived from LLVM BB %entry
    Predecessors according to CFG: BB#0
        %reg16391<def> = MOVE %reg16387; IntRegs:%reg16391,16387
    Successors according to CFG: BB#2

BB#2: derived from LLVM BB %entry
    Predecessors according to CFG: BB#0 BB#1
        %reg16389<def> = PHI %reg16390, <BB#0>, %reg16391, <BB#1>;
IntRegs:%reg16389,16390,16391
        %R0<def> = COPY %reg16389; IntRegs:%reg16389
        RET

# End machine code for function func.


-print-before-all indicates that the machines code sinking pass is wrecking
this, because after that the machine code becomes:


# Machine code for function func:
Function Live Ins: %R0 in reg%16384, %R1 in reg%16385, %R2 in reg%16386, %R3
in reg%16387
Function Live Outs: %R0

BB#0: derived from LLVM BB %entry
    Live Ins: %R0 %R1 %R2 %R3
        %reg16387<def> = COPY %R3; IntRegs:%reg16387
        %reg16386<def> = COPY %R2; IntRegs:%reg16386
        %reg16385<def> = COPY %R1; IntRegs:%reg16385
        %reg16384<def> = COPY %R0; IntRegs:%reg16384
        %reg16390<def> = MOVE %reg16386; IntRegs:%reg16390,16386
        SKIPCOND 1, %CFR<imp-use>
    Successors according to CFG: BB#2 BB#1

    Predecessors according to CFG: BB#0
        %reg16391<def> = MOVE %reg16387; IntRegs:%reg16391,16387
    Successors according to CFG: BB#2

BB#2: derived from LLVM BB %entry
    Predecessors according to CFG: BB#0 BB#1
        %reg16389<def> = PHI %reg16390, <BB#0>, %reg16391, <BB#1>;
IntRegs:%reg16389,16390,16391
        %reg16388<def> = CMPrr %reg16384, %reg16385, %CFR<imp-def,dead>;
IntRegs:%reg16388,16384,16385
        %R0<def> = COPY %reg16389; IntRegs:%reg16389
        RET

# End machine code for function func.

The CMPrr instruction is moved down to after the PHI node. My guess is that
the 'dead' in CFR<imp-def,dead> is to blame, but I can't see what I'm doing
differently from MSP430/sparc that makes this not work. Any help GREATLY
appreciated!
