This allows the compiler/assembly programmer to switch back to a
section. This in turn fixes the bootstrap failure on powerpc (tested
on gcc110) without changing the ppc codegen at all.
I will try to cleanup the various getELFSection overloads in a followup patch.
Just using a default argument now would lead to ambiguities.

There is now a canonical symbol at the end of a section that different
passes can request.
This also allows us to assert that we don't switch back to a section whose
end symbol has already been printed.

This lets us pass the symbol to the constructor and avoid the mutable field.
This also opens the way for outputting the symbol only when needed, instead
of outputting them at the start of the file.

This makes code that uses section relative expressions (debug info) simpler and
less brittle.
This is still a bit awkward as the symbol is created late and has to be
stored in a mutable field.
I will move the symbol creation earlier in the next patch.

When referring to a symbol in a dwarf section on ELF we should use
.long foo
instead of
.long foo - .debug_something
because ELF is unaware of the content of the sections and therefore needs
relocations. This has nothing to do with optimizing a -0.

They mark the start of a compile unit, so name them .Lcu_*. Using
Section->getLabelBeginName() makes it looks like they mark the start of the
section.
While at it, switch to createTempSymbol to avoid collisions with labels
created in inline assembly. Not sure if a "don't crash" test is worth it.
With this getLabelBeginName is dead, delete it.

isa<> et al. automatically infer when the cast is an upcast (including a
self-cast), so these are no longer necessary.

llvm-gcc-i386-linux-selfhost and llvm-x86_64-linux-checks buildbots.
The original log entry:
Remove optimization emitting a reference insted of label difference, since
it can create more relocations. Removed isBaseAddressKnownZero method,
because it is no longer used.

- Of questionable utility, since in general anything which wants to do this should probably be within a target specific hook, which can rely on the sections being of the appropriate type. However, it can be useful for short term hacks.

which is really a property of the section being referenced.
Add a predicate to MCSection to replace it.
Yay for reduction in magic.

syntactically as a string, very similiar to what Chris did with MachO.
The parsing support and validation is not introduced yet.

instead of syntactically as a string. This means that it keeps track of the
segment, section, flags, etc directly and asmprints them in the right format.
This also includes parsing and validation support for llvm-mc and
"attribute(section)", so we should now start getting errors about invalid
section attributes from the compiler instead of the assembler on darwin.
Still todo:
1) Uniquing of darwin mcsections
2) Move all the Darwin stuff out to MCSectionMachO.[cpp|h]
3) there are a few FIXMEs, for example what is the syntax to get the
S_GB_ZEROFILL segment type?

2. Move section switch printing to MCSection virtual method which takes a
TAI. This eliminates textual formatting stuff from TLOF.
3. Eliminate SwitchToSectionDirective, getSectionFlagsAsString, and
TLOFELF::AtIsCommentChar.

should have no state that is specific to particular globals in the
section. In this case, it means the removal of the "isWeak" and
"ExplicitSection" bits. MCSection uses the new form of SectionKind.
To handle isWeak, I introduced a new SectionInfo class, which is
SectionKind + isWeak, and it is used by the part of the code generator
that does classification of a specific global.
The ExplicitSection disappears. It is moved onto MCSection as a new
"IsDirective" bit. Since the Name of a section is either a section
or directive, it makes sense to keep this bit in MCSection. Ultimately
the creator of MCSection should canonicalize (e.g.) .text to whatever
the actual section is.
