In order to make comdats always explicit in the IR, we decided to make
the syntax a bit more compact for the case of a GlobalObject in a
comdat with the same name.
Just dropping the $name causes problems for
@foo = globabl i32 0, comdat
$bar = comdat ...
and
declare void @foo() comdat
$bar = comdat ...
So the syntax is changed to
@g1 = globabl i32 0, comdat($c1)
@g2 = globabl i32 0, comdat
and
declare void @foo() comdat($c1)
declare void @foo() comdat

If we require a single member of a comdat, require all of the other
members as well.
This fixes PR20981.

GlobalDCE deletes global vars and updates their initializers to nullptr
while leaving underlying constants to be cleaned up later by its uses.
The clean up may never happen, fix this by forcing it every time it's
safe to destroy constants.

Before this patch we had
@a = weak global ...
but
@b = alias weak ...
The patch changes aliases to look more like global variables.
Looking at some really old code suggests that the reason was that the old
bison based parser had a reduction for alias linkages and another one for
global variable linkages. Putting the alias first avoided the reduce/reduce
conflict.
The days of the old .ll parser are long gone. The new one parses just "linkage"
and a later check is responsible for deciding if a linkage is valid in a
given context.

A test case was found to crash after this was applied. I'll file a bug to track fixing this with the test case needed.

This is useful for functions that are not actually available externally but
referenced by a vtable of some kind. Clang emits functions like this for the MS

This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.

This patch changes the design of GlobalAlias so that it doesn't take a
ConstantExpr anymore. It now points directly to a GlobalObject, but its type is
independent of the aliasee type.
To avoid changing all alias related tests in this patches, I kept the common
syntax
@foo = alias i32* @bar
to mean the same as now. The cases that used to use cast now use the more
general syntax
@foo = alias i16, i32* @bar.
Note that GlobalAlias now behaves a bit more like GlobalVariable. We
know that its type is always a pointer, so we omit the '*'.
For the bitcode, a nice surprise is that we were writing both identical types
already, so the format change is minimal. Auto upgrade is handled by looking
through the casts and no new fields are needed for now. New bitcode will
simply have different types for Alias and Aliasee.
One last interesting point in the patch is that replaceAllUsesWith becomes
smart enough to avoid putting a ConstantExpr in the aliasee. This seems better
than checking and updating every caller.
A followup patch will delete getAliasedGlobal now that it is redundant. Another
patch will add support for an explicit offset.

This moves most of GlobalOpt's constructor optimization
code out of GlobalOpt into Transforms/Utils/CDtorUtils.{h,cpp}. The
public interface is a single function OptimizeGlobalCtorsList() that
takes a predicate returning which constructors to remove.
GlobalOpt calls this with a function that statically evaluates all
constructors, just like it did before. This part of the change is
behavior-preserving.
Also add a call to this from GlobalDCE with a filter that removes global
constructors that contain a "ret" instruction and nothing else – this
fixes PR19590.

- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

This is basically the same fix in three different places. We use a set to avoid
walking the whole tree of a big ConstantExprs multiple times.
For example: (select cmp, (add big_expr 1), (add big_expr 2))
We don't want to visit big_expr twice here, it may consist of thousands of
nodes.
The testcase exercises this by creating an insanely large ConstantExprs out of
a loop. It's questionable if the optimizer should ever create those, but this
can be triggered with real C code. Fixes PR15714.

In fact this also deletes those with linkonce linkage,
however this is currently dead because for the moment
aliases aren't allowed to have this linkage type.
