Skip MIR pass UnreachablePropagation when coverage is enabled #116166

When coverage instrumentation and MIR opts are both enabled, coverage relies on two assumptions:

  • MIR opts that would delete StatementKind::Coverage statements instead move them into bb0 and change them to CoverageKind::Unreachable.

  • MIR opts won't delete all CoverageKind::Counter statements from an instrumented function.

Most MIR opts naturally satisfy the second assumption, because they won't remove coverage statements from bb0, but UnreachablePropagation can do so if it finds that bb0 is unreachable. If this happens, LLVM thinks the function isn't instrumented, and it vanishes from coverage reports.

A proper solution won't be possible until after per-function coverage info lands in #116046, but for now we can avoid the problem by turning off this particular pass when coverage instrumentation is enabled.

I had also written a more complicated patch that leaves this pass enabled, but takes care not to erase coverage statements from unreachable blocks.

But for now I think it's simpler to just turn off the pass when coverage is enabled, and try to fix it entirely on the coverage side (without having to modify other MIR passes) after some other coverage-related changes land.

I've added a FIXME that refers to a new issue, #116171.

When coverage instrumentation and MIR opts are both enabled, coverage relies on
two assumptions:

- MIR opts that would delete `StatementKind::Coverage` statements instead move
  them into bb0 and change them to `CoverageKind::Unreachable`.

- MIR opts won't delete all `CoverageKind::Counter` statements from an
  instrumented function.

Most MIR opts naturally satisfy the second assumption, because they won't
remove coverage statements from bb0, but `UnreachablePropagation` can do so if
it finds that bb0 is unreachable. If this happens, LLVM thinks the function
isn't instrumented, and it vanishes from coverage reports.

A proper solution won't be possible until after per-function coverage info
lands in rust-lang#116046, but for now we can avoid the problem by turning off this
particular pass when coverage instrumentation is enabled.

coverage: Regression test for functions with unreachable bodies

This is a regression test for the coverage issue that was addressed temporarily by rust-lang#116166, and is tracked by rust-lang#116171.

---

If we instrument a function for coverage, but all of its counter-increment statements are removed by MIR optimizations, LLVM will think it isn't instrumented and it will disappear from coverage maps and coverage reports.

Most MIR opts won't cause this because they tend not to remove statements from bb0, but `UnreachablePropagation` can do so if it sees that bb0 ends with `TerminatorKind::Unreachable`.

Currently we have worked around this by turning off `UnreachablePropagation` when coverage instrumentation is enabled, which is why this test is able to pass.
