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.
Thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for testing this!
Remove doesSectionRequireSymbols.

This is affecting the behavior of some ObjC++ / AArch64 test cases on Darwin.
Reverting to get the bots green while I track down the source of the changed
behavior.

objects. There were a few FIXMEs in ARMAsmBackend.cpp suggesting the class
definitions should be in a separate file. Starting with ARMAsmBackend, the
class definition has been put in a header file, and #includes reduced. Each
sub-type of ARMAsmBackend is now in its own header file.
Derived types have been painted with a different color of bike-shed:
s/DarwinARMAsmBackend/ARMAsmBackendDarwin/g
s/ARMWinCOFFAsmBackend/ARMAsmBackendWinCOFF/g
s/ELFARMAsmBackend/ARMAsmBackendELF/g
Finally, clang-format has been run across ARMAsmBackend.cpp

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.

The function hasReliableSymbolDifference had exactly one use in the MachO
writer. It is also only true for X86_64. In fact, the comments refers to
"Darwin x86_64" and everything else, so this makes the code match the
comment.
If this is to be abstracted again, it should be a property of
TargetObjectWriter, like useAggressiveSymbolFolding.

We used to generate the compact unwind encoding from the machine
instructions. However, this had the problem that if the user used `-save-temps'
or compiled their hand-written `.s' file (with CFI directives), we wouldn't
generate the compact unwind encoding.
Move the algorithm that generates the compact unwind encoding into the
MCAsmBackend. This way we can generate the encoding whether the code is from a
`.ll' or `.s' file.

The target backend can support data-in-code load commands even when
the assembler doesn't, or vice-versa. Allow targets to opt-in for

people want -- it starts a new paragraph);
* use \param instead of \arg to document parameters in order to be consistent

We on the linker to resolve calls to the appropriate BL/BLX instruction
to make interworking function correctly. It uses the symbol in the
relocation to do that, so we need to be careful about being too clever.
To enable this for ARM mode, split the BL/BLX fixup kind off from the
unconditional-branch fixups.

Whether a fixup needs relaxation for the associated instruction is a
target-specific function, as the FIXME indicated. Create a hook for that
and use it.
