COFF lacks a feature that other object file formats support: mergeable
sections.
To work around this, MSVC sticks constant pool entries in special COMDAT
sections so that each constant is in it's own section. This permits
unused constants to be dropped and it also allows duplicate constants in
different translation units to get merged together.
This fixes PR20262.

TargetLoweringBase is implemented in CodeGen, so before this patch we had
a dependency fom Target to CodeGen. This would show up as a link failure of
llvm-stress when building with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
This fixes pr18900.

r201608 made llvm corretly handle private globals with MachO. r201622 fixed
a bug in it and r201624 and r201625 were changes for using private linkage,
assuming that llvm would do the right thing.
They all got reverted because r201608 introduced a crash in LTO. This patch
includes a fix for that. The issue was that TargetLoweringObjectFile now has
to be initialized before we can mangle names of private globals. This is
trivially true during the normal codegen pipeline (the asm printer does it),
but LTO has to do it manually.

The IR
@foo = private constant i32 42
is valid, but before this patch we would produce an invalid MachO from it. It
was invalid because it would use an L label in a section where the liker needs
the labels in order to atomize it.
One way of fixing it would be to just reject this IR in the backend, but that
would not be very front end friendly.
What this patch does is use an 'l' prefix in sections that we know the linker
requires symbols for atomizing them. This allows frontends to just use
private and not worry about which sections they go to or how the linker handles
them.
One small issue with this strategy is that now a symbol name depends on the
section, which is not available before codegen. This is not a problem in
practice. The reason is that it only happens with private linkage, which will
be ignored by the non codegen users (llvm-nm and llvm-ar).

These methods normally call each other and it is really annoying if the
arguments are in different order. The more common rule was that the arguments
specific to call are first (GV, Encoding, Suffix) and the auxiliary objects
(Mang, TM) come after. This patch changes the exceptions.

MSVC on x64 requires that we create image relative symbol
references to refer to RTTI data. Seeing as how there is no way to
explicitly make reference to a given relocation type in LLVM IR, pattern
match expressions of the form &foo - &__ImageBase.

This allows getDebugThreadLocalSymbol to return a generic MCExpr
instead of just a MCSymbolRefExpr.
This is in preparation for supporting debug info for TLS variables
on PowerPC, where we need to describe the variable location using
a more complex expression than just MCSymbolRefExpr.
llvm-svn: 185460
Restrict the current TLS support to X86 ELF for now. Test that we don't
produce it on PPC & we can flesh that test case out with the right thing
once someone implements it.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

TargetLoweringObjectFileELF. Use this to support it on X86. Unlike ARM,
on X86 it is not easy to find out if .init_array should be used or not, so
the decision is made via TargetOptions and defaults to off.
Add a command line option to llc that enables it.

give it a bit more responsibility. Also implement it for MachO.
If hacked to use cfi, 32 bit MachO will produce
.cfi_personality 155, L___gxx_personality_v0$non_lazy_ptr
and 64 bit will produce
.cfi_presonality ___gxx_personality_v0
The general idea is that .cfi_personality gets passed the final symbol. It is
up to codegen to produce it if using indirect representation (like 32 bit
MachO), but it is up to MC to decide which relocations to create.

- Although it would be nice to allow this decoupling, the assembler needs to be able to reason about MCSymbolRefExprs in too many places to make this viable. We can use a target specific encoding of the variant if this becomes an issue.
- This patch also extends llvm-mc to support parsing of the modifiers, as opposed to lumping them in with the symbol.

to is local to the translation unit, we need to place fill the value of that
symbol into the non-lazy pointer.
This should conclude all Darwin changes for placing the LSDA into the TEXT
section. There is some cleanup to do. I.e., there's no longer a special need for
target-specific code here. But that can come later.

getSymbolForDwarfGlobalReference is smart enough to know that it
needs to register the stub it references with MachineModuleInfoMachO,
so that it gets emitted at the end of the file.
Move stub emission from X86ATTAsmPrinter::doFinalization to the
new X86ATTAsmPrinter::EmitEndOfAsmFile asmprinter hook. The important
thing here is that EmitEndOfAsmFile is called *after* the ehframes are
emitted, so we get all the stubs.
This allows us to remove a gross hack from the asmprinter where it would
"just know" that it needed to output stubs for personality functions.
Now this is all driven from a consistent interface.
The testcase change is just reordering the expected output now that the
stubs come out after the ehframe instead of before.
This also unblocks other changes that Bill wants to make.

Eliminate the PersonalityPrefix/Suffix & NeedsIndirectEncoding
fields from MAI: they aren't part of the asm syntax, they are
related to the structure of the object file.
To replace their functionality, add a new
TLOF::getSymbolForDwarfGlobalReference method which asks targets
to decide how to reference a global from EH in a pc-relative way.
The default implementation just returns the symbol. The default
darwin implementation references the symbol through an indirect
$non_lazy_ptr stub. The bizarro x86-64 darwin specialization
handles the weird "foo@GOTPCREL+4" hack.
DwarfException.cpp now uses this to emit the reference to the
symbol in the right way, and this also eliminates another
horrible hack from DwarfException.cpp:
- if (strcmp(MAI->getPersonalitySuffix(), "+4@GOTPCREL"))
- O << "-" << MAI->getPCSymbol();
