Before this patch, redundant COPY couldn't be removed for the following case: ``` %reg1 = COPY %const-reg ... // There is a def of %const-reg %reg2 = COPY killed %reg1 ``` where this can be optimized to: ``` ... // There is a def of %const-reg %reg2 = COPY %const-reg ``` This patch allows for such optimization by not invalidating defined constant registers. This is safe, as architectures like AArch64 and RISCV replace a dead definition of a GPR with a zero constant register for certain instructions.
