As mentioned in the Text from the PR:

"When a range is being calculated for an ssa-name, the propagation process often goes 
along back edges. These back edges sometime require other ssa-names which have not be 
processed yet. These are flagged as "poor values" and when propagation is done, we 
visit the list of poor values, calculate them, and see if that may result if a better range 
for the original ssa-name.

The problem is that calculating these poor values may also spawn another set of 
requests since the block at the far end of the back edge has not been processed 
yet... its highly likely that some additional unprocessed ssa-names are used in 
the calculation of that name, but typically they do not affect the current 
range in a significant way.

Thus we mostly we care about the first order effect only.  It turns out to be 
very rare that a 2nd order effect on a back edge affects anything that we don't 
catch later.

This patch turns off poor-value tagging when looking up the first order values, 
thus avoiding the 2nd order and beyond cascading effects.

I haven't found a test case we miss yet because of this change, yet it probably 
resolves a number of the outstanding compilation problems in a significant way.

I think this will probably apply to gcc 11 in some form as well, so I'll look at an 
equivalent patch for there."


This patch simplifies the enable_new_value routines.. replacing the 
enable/disable with an enable with flag routine, which returns the previous 
value.This lets us change the mode and then set it back to what it was before.  
Seems better in general.

Then disables new values for 2nd+ order effects. GCC11 patch forthcoming.

Bootstraps on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, no regressions.  pushed.

Hi Andrew,

This causes bootstrap-with-ubsan failure on at least aarch64-linux-gnu, likely,

Huh, not sure why that would matter since m_new_value_p is a bool.

My guess is (and this bugged me after I checked it in, just haven't 
gotten to it yet), is that this is initialized in the constructor with a 
call, and the return value ignored.  Which means there is techincally a 
load of an uninitialized value, which is then ignored.  but the load may 
happen.  Im going to guess thats the issue.  It needs fixing anyway


Im testing this fix, which i will check in.  See if that solves the 
ubsan issue.
