cmd/compile: fix liveness computation for heap-escaped parameters The liveness computation of parameters generally was never correct, but forcing all parameters to be live throughout the function covered up that problem. The new SSA back end is too clever: even though it currently keeps the parameter values live throughout the function, it may find optimizations that mean the current values are not written back to the original parameter stack slots immediately or ever (for example if a parameter is set to nil, SSA constant propagation may replace all later uses of the parameter with a constant nil, eliminating the need to write the nil value back to the stack slot), so the liveness code must now track the actual operations on the stack slots, exposing these problems. One small problem in the handling of arguments is that nodarg can return ONAME PPARAM nodes with adjusted offsets, so that there are actually multiple *Node pointers for the same parameter in the instruction stream. This might be possible to correct, but not in this CL. For now, we fix this by using n.Orig instead of n when considering PPARAM and PPARAMOUT nodes. The major problem in the handling of arguments is general confusion in the liveness code about the meaning of PPARAM|PHEAP and PPARAMOUT|PHEAP nodes, especially as contrasted with PAUTO|PHEAP. The difference between these two is that when a local variable "moves" to the heap, it's really just allocated there to start with; in contrast, when an argument moves to the heap, the actual data has to be copied there from the stack at the beginning of the function, and when a result "moves" to the heap the value in the heap has to be copied back to the stack when the function returns This general confusion is also present in the SSA back end. The PHEAP bit worked decently when I first introduced it 7 years ago (!) in 391425ae. The back end did nothing sophisticated, and in particular there was no analysis at all: no escape analysis, no liveness analysis, and certainly no SSA back end. But the complications caused in the various downstream consumers suggest that this should be a detail kept mainly in the front end. This CL therefore eliminates both the PHEAP bit and even the idea of "heap variables" from the back ends. First, it replaces the PPARAM|PHEAP, PPARAMOUT|PHEAP, and PAUTO|PHEAP variable classes with the single PAUTOHEAP, a pseudo-class indicating a variable maintained on the heap and available by indirecting a local variable kept on the stack (a plain PAUTO). Second, walkexpr replaces all references to PAUTOHEAP variables with indirections of the corresponding PAUTO variable. The back ends and the liveness code now just see plain indirected variables. This may actually produce better code, but the real goal here is to eliminate these little-used and somewhat suspect code paths in the back end analyses. The OPARAM node type goes away too. A followup CL will do the same to PPARAMREF. I'm not sure that the back ends (SSA in particular) are handling those right either, and with the framework established in this CL that change is trivial and the result clearly more correct. Fixes #15747.
