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.

* Section association cannot use just the section name as many
sections can have the same name. With this patch, the comdat symbol in
an assoc section is interpreted to mean a symbol in the associated
section and the mapping is discovered from it.
* Comdat symbols were not being set correctly. Instead we were getting
whatever was output first for that section.
A consequence is that associative sections now must use .section to
set the association. Using .linkonce would not work since it is not
possible to change a sections comdat symbol (it is used to decide if
we should create a new section or reuse an existing one).
This includes r210298, which was reverted because it was asserting
on an associated section having the same comdat as the associated
section.

This allows us to put dynamic initializers for weak data into the same
comdat group as the data being initialized. This is necessary for MSVC
ABI compatibility. Once we have comdats for guard variables, we can use
the combination to help GlobalOpt fire more often for weak data with
guarded initialization on other platforms.

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.

It is never null and it is not used in casts, so there is no reason to use a
pointer. This matches how we pass TM.

code to see if we're emitting a function into a non-default
text section. This is still a less-than-ideal solution, but more
contained than r199871 to determine whether or not we're emitting
code into an array of comdat sections.

e.g. linkonce, to TargetMachine and set it when we've done so
for ELF targets currently. This involved making TargetMachine
non-const in a TLOF use and propagating that change around - I'm
open to other ideas.
This will be used in a future commit to handle emitting debug
information with ranges.

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.

Based on GCC's output for TLS variables (OP_constNu, x@dtpoff,
OP_lo_user), this implements debug info support for TLS in ELF. Verified
that this output is correct/sufficient on Linux (using gold - if you're
using binutils-ld, you'll need something with the fix for
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15685 in it).
Support on non-ELF is sort of "arbitrary" at the moment - if Apple folks
want to discuss (or just go ahead & implement) how this should work in
MachO, etc, I'm open.

This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.

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.

Also, avoid leaking memory like a sieve by not creating a global variable for
the image info section, but just emitting the code directly.

The MachO back-end needs to emit the garbage collection flags specified in the
module flags. This is a WIP, so the front-end hasn't been modified to emit these
flags just yet. Documentation and front-end switching to occur soon.

I'll get to it in the next patch.

the function.

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.
