- This patch consists of the bare basic code needed in order to generate some assembly for the z/OS target.
- Only the .text and the .bss sections are added for now.
- The relevant MCSectionGOFF/Symbol interfaces have been added. This enables us to print out the GOFF machine code sections.
- This patch enables us to add simple lit tests wherever possible, and contribute to the testing coverage for the z/OS target
- Further improvements and additions will be made in future patches.

If a global object is listed in `@llvm.used`, place it in a unique section with
the `SHF_GNU_RETAIN` flag. The section is a GC root under `ld --gc-sections`
with LLD>=13 or GNU ld>=2.36.
For front ends which do not expect to see multiple sections of the same name,
consider emitting `@llvm.compiler.used` instead of `@llvm.used`.
SHF_GNU_RETAIN is restricted to ELFOSABI_GNU and ELFOSABI_FREEBSD in
binutils. We don't do the restriction - see the rationale in D95749.
The integrated assembler has supported SHF_GNU_RETAIN since D95730.
GNU as>=2.36 supports section flag 'R'.
We don't need to worry about GNU ld support because older GNU ld just ignores
the unknown SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
With this change, `__attribute__((retain))` functions/variables emitted
by clang will get the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag.

Basic block sections enables function sections implicitly, this is not needed
and is inefficient with "=list" option.
We had basic block sections enable function sections implicitly in clang. This
is particularly inefficient with "=list" option as it places functions that do
not have any basic block sections in separate sections. This causes unnecessary
object file overhead for large applications.
This patch disables this implicit behavior. It only creates function sections
for those functions that require basic block sections.
Further, there was an inconistent behavior with llc as llc was not turning on
function sections by default. This patch makes llc and clang consistent and
tests are added to check the new behavior.
This is the first of two patches and this adds functionality in LLVM to
create a new section for the entry block if function sections is not
enabled.

GNU ld>=2.36 supports mixed SHF_LINK_ORDER and non-SHF_LINK_ORDER sections in an
output section, so we can set SHF_LINK_ORDER if -fbinutils-version=2.36 or above.
If -fno-function-sections or older binutils, drop unique ID for -fno-unique-section-names.
The users can just specify -fbinutils-version=2.36 or above to allow GC with both GNU ld and LLD.
(LLD does not support garbage collection of non-group non-SHF_LINK_ORDER .gcc_except_table sections.)
SUMMARY:
In order for the runtime on AIX to find the compact unwind section(EHInfo table),
we would need to set the following on the traceback table:
The 6th byte's longtbtable field to true to signal there is an Extended TB Table Flag.
The Extended TB Table Flag to be 0x08 to signal there is an exception handling info presents.
Emit the offset between ehinfo TC entry and TOC base after all other optional portions of traceback table.

The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.
When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.
In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references
This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.
See [RFC](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-August/144469.html) for more details.

MC currently produces monolithic .gcc_except_table section. GCC can split up .gcc_except_table:
* if comdat: `.section .gcc_except_table._Z6comdatv,"aG",@progbits,_Z6comdatv,comdat`
* otherwise, if -ffunction-sections: `.section .gcc_except_table._Z3fooi,"a",@progbits`
This ensures that (a) non-prevailing copies are discarded and (b)
.gcc_except_table associated to discarded text sections can be discarded by a
.gcc_except_table-aware linker (GNU ld, but not gold or LLD)
This patches matches the GCC behavior. If -fno-unique-section-names is
specified, we don't append the suffix. If -ffunction-sections is additionally specified,
use `.section ...,unique`.
Note, if clang driver communicates that the linker is LLD and we know it
is new (11.0.0 or later) we can use SHF_LINK_ORDER to avoid string table
costs, at least in the -fno-unique-section-names case. We cannot use it on GNU
ld because as of binutils 2.35 it does not support mixed SHF_LINK_ORDER &
non-SHF_LINK_ORDER components in an output section
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26256
For RISC-V -mrelax, this patch additionally fixes an assembler-linker
interaction problem: because a section is shrinkable, the length of a call-site
code range is not a constant. Relocations referencing the associated text
section (STT_SECTION) are needed. However, a STB_LOCAL relocation referencing a
discarded section group member from outside the group is disallowed by the ELF
specification (PR46675):
```
// a.cc
inline int comdat() { try { throw 1; } catch (int) { return 1; } return 0; }
int main() { return comdat(); }
// b.cc
inline int comdat() { try { throw 1; } catch (int) { return 1; } return 0; }
int foo() { return comdat(); }
clang++ -target riscv64-linux -c a.cc b.cc -fPIC -mno-relax
ld.lld -shared a.o b.o => ld.lld: error: relocation refers to a symbol in a discarded section:
```
-fbasic-block-sections= is similar to RISC-V -mrelax: there are outstanding relocations.

Summary:
We create a number of standard types of control sections in multiple places for
things like the function descriptors, external references and the TOC anchor
among others, so it is possible for their properties to be defined
inconsistently in different places. This refactor moves their creation and
properties into functions in the TargetLoweringObjectFile class hierarchy, where
functions for retrieving various special types of sections typically seem
to reside.
Note: There is one case in PPCISelLowering which is specific to function entry
points which we don't address since we don't have access to the TLOF there.

Local symbols in the indirect symbol table contain the value
`INDIRECT_SYMBOL_LOCAL` and the corresponding __pointers entry must
contain the address of the target.
In r349060, I added support for local symbols in the indirect symbol
table, which was checking if the symbol `isDefined` && `!isExternal` to
determine if the symbol is local or not.
It turns out that `isDefined` will return false if the user of the
symbol comes before its definition, and we'll again generate .long 0
which will be the symbol at the adress 0x0.
Instead of doing that, use GlobalValue::hasLocalLinkage() to check if
the symbol is local.

Adds Wrapper classes for MCSymbol and MCSection into the XCOFF target

materialize in the ObjectWriter.
executePostLayoutBinding will map all csects into the appropriate

- Assign addresses and symbol table indices.
- Calaculte section sizes.
- Build the section header table.
- Assign the sections raw-pointer value for non-virtual sections.
Since the .bss section is virtual, writing the header table is enough to
add support. Writing of a sections raw data, or of any relocations is
not included in this patch.
Testing is done by dumping the section header table, but it needs to be
extended to include dumping the symbol table once readobj support for
dumping auxiallary entries lands.

Implement options in clang to enable recording the driver command-line
in an ELF section.
Implement a new special named metadata, llvm.commandline, to support
frontends embedding their command-line options in IR/ASM/ELF.
This differs from the GCC implementation in some key ways:
* In GCC there is only one command-line possible per compilation-unit,
in LLVM it mirrors llvm.ident and multiple are allowed.
* In GCC individual options are separated by NULL bytes, in LLVM entire
command-lines are separated by NULL bytes. The advantage of the GCC
approach is to clearly delineate options in the face of embedded
spaces. The advantage of the LLVM approach is to support merging
multiple command-lines unambiguously, while handling embedded spaces
with escaping.

=== Generating the CG Profile ===
The CGProfile module pass simply gets the block profile count for each BB and scans for call instructions. For each call instruction it adds an edge from the current function to the called function with the current BB block profile count as the weight.
After scanning all the functions, it generates an appending module flag containing the data. The format looks like:
```
!llvm.module.flags = !{!0}
!0 = !{i32 5, !"CG Profile", !1}
!1 = !{!2, !3, !4} ; List of edges
!2 = !{void ()* @a, void ()* @b, i64 32} ; Edge from a to b with a weight of 32
!3 = !{void (i1)* @freq, void ()* @a, i64 11}

Summary:
GCC and the binutils COFF linker do comdats differently from MSVC.
If we want to be ABI compatible, we have to do what they do, which is to
emit unique section names like ".text$_Z3foov" instead of short section
names like ".text". Otherwise, the binutils linker gets confused and
reports multiple definition errors when two object files from GCC and
Clang containing the same inline function are linked together.
The best description of the issue is probably at
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/1677, we don't seem to
have a good one in our tracker.
I fixed up the .pdata and .xdata sections needed everywhere other than
32-bit x86. GCC doesn't use associative comdats for those, it appears to
rely on the section name.
