The "preserve input debug-info format" flag allowed some tooling to opt into not seeing the new debug records yet, and to not autoupgrade. This was good at the time, but un-necessary now that we'll be ditching intrinsics shortly. It also hides errors now: verify-uselistorder was hardcoding this flag to on, and as a result it hasn't seen debug records before. Thus, we missed a uselistorder variation: constant-expressions such as GEPs can be contained within debug records and completely isolated from the value hierachy, see the metadata-use-uselistorder.ll test. These Values didn't get ordered, but were legitimate uses of constants like "i64 0", and we now run into difficulty handling that. The patch to AsmWriter seeks Values to order even through debug-info now. Finally there are a few intrinsics-tests relying on this flag that we can just delete, such as one in llvm-reduce and another few in the LocalTest unit tests. For the fast-isel test, it was added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D67703 explicitly for checking the size of blocks without debug-info and in 1525abb9c94 the codepath it tests moved towards being sunsetted. It'll be totally redundant once RemoveDIs is on permanently. Note that there's now no explicit test for the textual-IR autoupgrade path. I submit that we can rely on the thousands of .ll files where we've only been bothered to update the outputs, not the inputs, to debug records.
