[PATCH] Improve RTL DSE with -fstack-protector* (PR rtl-optimization/88796)

Hi!

As mentioned in the PR, RTL DSE doesn't do much with -fstack-protector*,
because the stack canary test in the epilogue of instrumented functions
is a MEM_VOLATILE_P read out of the crtl->stack_protect_guard ssp canary
slot in the stack frame and either a MEM_VOLATILE_P read of
__stack_chk_guard variable, or corresponding some other location (e.g. TLS
memory on x86).

The canary slot in the stack frame is written in the prologue using
MEM_VOLATILE_P store, so we never consider those to be DSEd and is only read
in the epilogue, so it shouldn't alias any other stores.
Similarly, __stack_chk_guard variable or say the TLS ssp slot or whatever
else is used to hold the random pointer-sized value really shouldn't be
changed in -fstack-protector* instrumented functions, as that would mean
they remembered one value in the prologue and would fail comparison in the
epilogue if it changed in between.  So, I believe we can safely ignore the
whole stack_pointer_test instruction in RTL DSE.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk?

	PR rtl-optimization/88796
	* emit-rtl.h (struct rtl_data): Add stack_protect_guard_decl field.
	* cfgexpand.c (stack_protect_prologue): Initialize
	crtl->stack_protect_guard_decl.
	* function.c (stack_protect_epilogue): Use it instead of calling
	targetm.stack_protect_guard again.
	* dse.c (check_mem_read_rtx): Ignore MEM_VOLATILE_P reads from
	MEMs with MEM_EXPR equal to crtl->stack_protect_guard or
	crtl->stack_protect_guard_decl.
	* config/i386/i386.c (ix86_stack_protect_guard): Set TREE_THIS_VOLATILE
	on the returned MEM_EXPR.

	* gcc.target/i386/pr88796.c: New test.
