Windows supports a restricted set of relocations (compared to ARM ELF). In some
cases, we may end up generating an unsupported relocation. This can occur with
bad input to the assembler in particular (the frontend should never generate
code that cannot be compiled). Generate an error rather than just aborting.
The change in the API is driven by the desire to provide a slightly more helpful
message for debugging purposes.

The fixes are to note that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local
relocations can be used. In particular, ld64 requires that relocations to
cstring/cfstrings use linker visible symbols.
Original message:
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.

Referencing one symbol from another in the same section does not
generally require a relocation. However, the MS linker has a feature
called /INCREMENTAL which enables incremental links. It achieves this
by creating thunks to the actual function and redirecting all
relocations to point to the thunk.
This breaks down with the old scheme if you have a function which
references, say, itself. On x86_64, we would use %rip relative
addressing to reference the start of the function from out current
position. This would lead to miscompiles because other references might
reference the thunk instead, breaking function pointer equality.
This fixes PR21520.

Teach WinCOFFObjectWriter how to write -mbig-obj style object files;
these object files allow for more sections inside an object file.
Our support for BigObj is notably different from binutils and cl: we
implicitly upgrade object files to BigObj instead of asking the user to
compile the same file *again* but with another flag. This matches up
with how LLVM treats ELF variants.
This was tested by forcing LLVM to always emit BigObj files and running
the entire test suite. A specific test has also been added.
I've lowered the maximum number of sections in a normal COFF file,
VS "14" CTP 3 supports no more than 65279 sections. This is important
otherwise we might not switch to BigObj quickly enough, leaving us with
a COFF file that we couldn't link.
yaml2obj support is all that remains to implement.

This adds support for reading the "bigobj" variant of COFF produced by
cl's /bigobj and mingw's -mbig-obj.
The most significant difference that bigobj brings is more than 2**16
sections to COFF.
bigobj brings a few interesting differences with it:
- It doesn't have a Characteristics field in the file header.
- It doesn't have a SizeOfOptionalHeader field in the file header (it's
only used in executable files).
- Auxiliary symbol records have the same width as a symbol table entry.
Since symbol table entries are bigger, so are auxiliary symbol
records.
Write support will come soon.

Prevent the early elimination of sections in the object writer. There may be
references to the section itself by other symbols, which may potentially not be
possible to resolve. ML (Visual Studio's Macro Assembler) also seems to retain
empty sections.
The elimination of symbols and sections which are unused should really occur at
the link phase. This will not cause any change in the resulting binary, simply
in the generated object files.
The adjustments to the other unit tests account for the fluctuating section
index caused by the appearance of sections which were previously discarded.

* 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.

We extended the .section syntax to allow multiple sections with the
same name but different comdats, but currently we don't make sure that
the output section has that comdat symbol.
That happens to work with the code llc produces currently because it looks like
.section secName, "dr", one_only, "COMDATSym"
.globl COMDATSym
COMDATSym:
....
but that is not very friendly to anyone coding in assembly or even to
llc once we get comdat support in the IR.
This patch changes the coff object writer to make sure the comdat symbol is
output just after the section symbol, as required by the coff spec.

Introduce support for WoA PE/COFF object file emission from LLVM. Add the new
target specific PE/COFF Streamer (ARMWinCOFFStreamer) that handles the ARM
specific behaviour of PE/COFF object emission. ARM exception information is not
yet emitted and is a TODO item.
The ARM specific object writer (ARMWinCOFFObjectWriter) handles the ARM specific
relocation handling in conjunction with the WinCOFFObjectWriter in the MC layer.
The MC layer needs to be updated to deal with the relocation adjustments.
Branch relocations are adjusted by 4 bytes (unlikely their ELF counterparts).
Minor tweaks to switch multiple conditional checks into equivalent switch
statements. The ObjectFileInfo is updated to relax the object file setup for
Windows COFF. Move the architecture checks into an assertion. Windows COFF is
currently only supported on x86, x86_64, and ARM (thumb). Rather than
defaulting to ELF, we will refuse to generate an object file. This is better
though as you do not get an (arbitrary) object file which is different from the
request.

Add support for emitting .file records. This is mostly a quality of
implementation change (more complete support for COFF file emission) that was
noticed while working on COFF file emission for Windows on ARM.
A .file record is emitted as a symbol with storage class FILE (103) and the name
".file". A series of auxiliary format 4 records follow which contain the file
name. The filename is stored as an ANSI string and is padded with NULL if the
length is not a multiple of COFF::SymbolSize (18).

The values for the relocation type can (and do) overlap across various
architectures. When performing an adjustment of the emitted relocation in the
final object file, check that the file magic matches the target for which the
relocation type is valid (e.g. a I386 relocation is only applied to an X86
object file, and an AMD64 relocation is only applied to an X86_64 object file).
This was noticed while adding support for ARM WinCOFF object file emission.
A test case for this is not really possible as the values for REL32 do not
overlap on I386 and AMD64, which is why this was never noticed in practice. The
ARM WinCOFF emission is not yet ready to merge into the tree.

Summary:
Local common symbols were properly inserted into the .bss section.
However, putting external common symbols in the .bss section would give
them a strong definition.
Instead, encode them as undefined, external symbols who's symbol value
is equivalent to their size.

I started trying to fix a small issue, but this code has seen a small fix too
many.
The old code was fairly convoluted. Some of the issues it had:
* It failed to check if a symbol difference was in the some section when
converting a relocation to pcrel.
* It failed to check if the relocation was already pcrel.
* The pcrel value computation was wrong in some cases (relocation-pc.s)
* It was missing quiet a few cases where it should not convert symbol
relocations to section relocations, leaving the backends to patch it up.
* It would not propagate the fact that it had changed a relocation to pcrel,
requiring a quiet nasty work around in ARM.
* It was missing comments.
