Working on a problem where var-tracking started to spend more time 
after LRA is switched on, I found that LRA creates significant # 
clobbers for x86 code (I saw 20% of all insns). Clobbers are created for 
correct live range analysis in LRA in cases when matching pseudos of 
*different modes* should be in the same hard register.
   As these clobbers are not needed anymore after LRA, the following 
patch removes them.

   Unfortunately, it does not solve the problem I mentioned.  Now, LRA 
generates approximately the same # of insns and debug_insn.  Moreover, 
two functions (canonicalize_values_star and set_slot_part) in 
var-tracking spending most of time have approximately the same coverage, 
in other words numbers of execution for each line are the same 
(differences < 1%).  Still var-tracking after LRA spent on 20% more time 
than after reload. I have no idea what to investigate more but I'll 
continue my work on the problem next week.

   The patch was successfully bootstrapped on x86/x86-64.

   Committed as rev. 192897.

     * rtl.h (struct rtx_def): Add a comment for member unchanging.
     * lra-int.h (LRA_TEMP_CLOBBER_P): New macro.
     (lra_hard_reg_substitution): Rename to lra_final_code_change.
     * lra-constraints.c (match_reload): Mark temporary clobbers.
     * lra-spill.c (lra_hard_reg_substitution): Rename to
     lra_final_code_change.  Remove temporary clobbers.
     * lra.c (lra): Rename to lra_final_code_change.

Well, it may be more fruitful to see why var-tracking is so slow. The
problem existed before LRA was merged, it's just triggered more often
after the LRA merge. But the real problem is var-tracking.

Ciao!
