// The functions in this file builds OopMaps after all scheduling is done.
//
// OopMaps contain a list of all registers and stack-slots containing oops (so
// they can be updated by GC).  OopMaps also contain a list of derived-pointer
// base-pointer pairs.  When the base is moved, the derived pointer moves to
// follow it.  Finally, any registers holding callee-save values are also
// recorded.  These might contain oops, but only the caller knows.
//
// BuildOopMaps implements a simple forward reaching-defs solution.  At each
// GC point we'll have the reaching-def Nodes.  If the reaching Nodes are
// typed as pointers (no offset), then they are oops.  Pointers+offsets are
// derived pointers, and bases can be found from them.  Finally, we'll also
// track reaching callee-save values.  Note that a copy of a callee-save value
// "kills" it's source, so that only 1 copy of a callee-save value is alive at
// a time.
//
// We run a simple bitvector liveness pass to help trim out dead oops.  Due to
// irreducible loops, we can have a reaching def of an oop that only reaches
// along one path and no way to know if it's valid or not on the other path.
// The bitvectors are quite dense and the liveness pass is fast.
//
// At GC points, we consult this information to build OopMaps.  All reaching
// defs typed as oops are added to the OopMap.  Only 1 instance of a
// callee-save register can be recorded.  For derived pointers, we'll have to
// find and record the register holding the base.
//
// The reaching def's is a simple 1-pass worklist approach.  I tried a clever
// breadth-first approach but it was worse (showed O(n^2) in the
// pick-next-block code).
//
// The relevant data is kept in a struct of arrays (it could just as well be
// an array of structs, but the struct-of-arrays is generally a little more
// efficient).  The arrays are indexed by register number (including
// stack-slots as registers) and so is bounded by 200 to 300 elements in
// practice.  One array will map to a reaching def Node (or NULL for
// conflict/dead).  The other array will map to a callee-saved register or
// OptoReg::Bad for not-callee-saved.
