Programs with very large __llvm_covmap sections may fail to link on
Darwin because because of out-of-range 32-bit RIP relative references.
It isn't possible to work around this by using the large code model
because it isn't supported on Darwin. One solution is to move the
__llvm_covmap section past the end of the __DATA segment.
=== Testing ===
In addition to check-{llvm,clang,profile}, I performed a link test on a
simple object after injecting ~4GB of padding into __llvm_covmap:
@__llvm_coverage_padding = internal constant [4000000000 x i8] zeroinitializer, section "__LLVM_COV,__llvm_covmap", align 8
(This test is too expensive to check-in.)
=== Backwards Compatibility ===
This patch should not pose any backwards-compatibility concerns. LLVM
is expected to scan all of the sections in a binary for __llvm_covmap,
so changing its segment shouldn't affect anything. I double-checked this
by loading coverage produced by an unpatched compiler with a patched
llvm-cov.
