atomGroup: n, atomRank: 0 indicates an instruction is always to be treated
as a key instruction.

This is currently only used in DILocation::getMergedLocation to ease the path
to DISubprogram-owned nextAtomGroup counters (rather than tracking it globally).
tidy getImpl

fix test.. simplfy... needs further looking at, does this need to be recursive?

reduce cost of constructing dilocations

add verifier check

don't crash when keyinsts is disabled

…lvm#144097)

In Aya/Rust, BPF map definitions are nested in two nested types:

* A struct representing the map type (e.g., `HashMap`, `RingBuf`) that
provides methods for interacting with the map type (e.g. `HashMap::get`,
`RingBuf::reserve`).
* An `UnsafeCell`, which informs the Rust compiler that the type is
thread-safe and can be safely mutated even as a global variable. The
kernel guarantees map operation safety.

This leads to a type hierarchy like:

```rust
    pub struct HashMap<K, V, const M: usize, const F: usize = 0>(
        core::cell::UnsafeCell<HashMapDef<K, V, M, F>>,
    );
    const BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH: usize = 1;
    pub struct HashMapDef<K, V, const M: usize, const F: usize = 0> {
        r#type: *const [i32; BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH],
        key: *const K,
        value: *const V,
        max_entries: *const [i32; M],
        map_flags: *const [i32; F],
    }
```

Then used in the BPF program code as a global variable:

```rust
    #[link_section = ".maps"]
    static HASH_MAP: HashMap<u32, u32, 1337> = HashMap::new();
```

Which is an equivalent of the following BPF map definition in C:

```c
    #define BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH 1
    struct {
        int (*type)[BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH];
        typeof(int) *key;
        typeof(int) *value;
        int (*max_entries)[1337];
    } map_1 __attribute__((section(".maps")));
```

Accessing the actual map definition requires traversing:

```
  HASH_MAP -> __0 -> value
```

Previously, the BPF backend only visited the pointee types of the
outermost struct, and didn’t descend into inner wrappers. This caused
issues when the key/value types were custom structs:

```rust
    // Define custom structs for key and values.
    pub struct MyKey(u32);
    pub struct MyValue(u32);

    #[link_section = ".maps"]
    #[export_name = "HASH_MAP"]
    pub static HASH_MAP: HashMap<MyKey, MyValue, 10> = HashMap::new();
```

These types weren’t fully visited and appeared in BTF as forward
declarations:

```
    llvm#30: <FWD> 'MyKey' kind:struct
    llvm#31: <FWD> 'MyValue' kind:struct
```

The fix is to enhance `visitMapDefType` to recursively visit inner
composite members. If a member is a composite type (likely a wrapper),
it is now also visited using `visitMapDefType`, ensuring that the
pointee types of the innermost stuct members, like `MyKey` and
`MyValue`, are fully resolved in BTF.

With this fix, the correct BTF entries are emitted:

```
    #6: <STRUCT> 'MyKey' sz:4 n:1
            #00 '__0' off:0 --> [7]
    llvm#7: <INT> 'u32' bits:32 off:0
    llvm#8: <PTR> --> [9]
    llvm#9: <STRUCT> 'MyValue' sz:4 n:1
            #00 '__0' off:0 --> [7]
```

Fixes: llvm#143361

The function already exposes a work list to avoid deep recursion, this
commit starts utilizing it in a helper that could also lead to a deep
recursion.

We have observed this crash on `clang/test/C/C99/n590.c` with our
internal builds that enable aggressive optimizations and hit the limit
earlier than default release builds of Clang.

See the added test for an example with a deeper recursion that used to
crash in upstream Clang before this change with the following stack

## Problem

When the new setting

```
set target.parallel-module-load true
```
was added, lldb began fetching modules from the devices from multiple
threads simultaneously. This caused crashes of lldb when debugging on
android devices.

The top of the stack in the crash look something like this:
```

```
Our workaround was to set `set target.parallel-module-load ` to `false`
to avoid the crash.

## Background

PlatformAndroid creates two different classes with one stateful adb
connection shared between the two -- one through AdbClient and another
through AdbClient::SyncService. The connection management and state is
complex, and seems to be responsible for the segfault we are seeing. The
AdbClient code resets these connections at times, and re-establishes
connections if they are not active. Similarly, PlatformAndroid caches
its SyncService, which uses an AdbClient class, but the SyncService puts
its connection into a different 'sync' state that is incompatible with a
standard connection.

## Changes in this diff

* This diff refactors the code to (hopefully) have clearer ownership of
the connection, clearer separation of AdbClient and SyncService by
making a new class for clearer separations of concerns, called
AdbSyncService.
* New unit tests are added
* Additional logs were added (see
llvm#145382 (comment)
for details)

```

from the folder for `tosa::mul` since the zero value was being reshaped
to `?x17` size which isn't supported. AFAIK, `tosa.const` requires all
dimensions to be static. So in this case, the fix is to not to fold the
op.

**Mitigation for:** google/sanitizers#749

**Disclosure:** I'm not an ASan compiler expert yet (I'm trying to
learn!), I primarily work in the runtime. Some of this PR was developed
with the help of AI tools (primarily as a "fuzzy `grep` engine"), but
I've manually refined and tested the output, and can speak for every
line. In general, I used it only to orient myself and for
"rubberducking".

**Context:**

The msvc ASan team (👋 ) has received an internal request to improve
clang's exception handling under ASan for Windows. Namely, we're
interested in **mitigating** this bug:
google/sanitizers#749

To summarize, today, clang + ASan produces a false-positive error for
this program:

```C++
#include <cstdio>
#include <exception>
int main()
{
	try	{
		throw std::exception("test");
	}catch (const std::exception& ex){
		puts(ex.what());
	}
	return 0;
}
```

The error reads as such:


```
C:\Users\dajusto\source\repros\upstream>type main.cpp
#include <cstdio>
#include <exception>
int main()
{
        try     {
                throw std::exception("test");
        }catch (const std::exception& ex){
                puts(ex.what());
        }
        return 0;
}

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: access-violation C:\Users\dajusto\source\repros\upstream\main.cpp:8 in main
==19112==ABORTING
```

The root of the issue _appears to be_ that ASan's instrumentation is
incompatible with Window's assumptions for instantiating `catch`-block's
parameters (`ex` in the snippet above).

The nitty gritty details are lost on me, but I understand that to make
this work without loss of ASan coverage, a "serious" refactoring is
needed. In the meantime, users risk false positive errors when pairing
ASan + catch-block parameters on Windows.

**To mitigate this** I think we should avoid instrumenting catch-block
parameters on Windows. It appears to me this is as "simple" as marking
catch block parameters as "uninteresting" in
`AddressSanitizer::isInterestingAlloca`. My manual tests seem to confirm
this.

I believe this is strictly better than today's status quo, where the
runtime generates false positives. Although we're now explicitly
choosing to instrument less, the benefit is that now more programs can
run with ASan without _funky_ macros that disable ASan on exception
blocks.

**This PR:** implements the mitigation above, and creates a simple new
test for it.

_Thanks!_
