This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.
One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.

The attached patch simplifies a few interfaces that don't need to take
ownership of a buffer.
For example, both parseAssembly and parseBitcodeFile will parse the
entire buffer before returning. There is no need to take ownership.
Using a MemoryBufferRef makes it obvious in the type signature that
there is no ownership transfer.

Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

Having both Triple::arm64 and Triple::aarch64 is extremely confusing, and
invites bugs where only one is checked. In reality, the only legitimate
difference between the two (arm64 usually means iOS) is also present in the OS
part of the triple and that's what should be checked.
We still parse the "arm64" triple, just canonicalise it to Triple::aarch64, so
there aren't any LLVM-side test changes.

This reverts commit r212342.
We can get a StringRef into the current Record, but not one in the bitcode
itself since the string is compressed in it.

These are the llvm.* globals and functions.
I don't think it is possible to test this directly since llvm-lto is not
a full linker and will not report duplicated symbols, but this fixes
bootstrap with gold and lto enabled.

IRObjectFile provides all the logic for producing mangled names and getting
symbols from inline assembly.
LTOModule then adds logic for linking specific tasks, like constructing
llvm.compiler_user or extracting linker options from the bitcode.
The rule of the thumb is that IRObjectFile has the functionality that is
needed by both LTO and llvm-ar.

We want to encourage users of the C++ LTO API to reuse memory buffers instead
of repeatedly opening and reading the same file contents.
This reverts commit r212305 and implements a tidier scheme.

In assembly the expression a=b is parsed as an assignment, so it should be
printed as one.
This remove a truly horrible hack for producing a label with "a=.". It would
be used by codegen but would never be reached by the asm parser. Sorry I
missed this when it was first committed.

This is a minimal change to remove the header. I will remove the occurrences
of "using std::error_code" in a followup patch.

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 commit starts with a "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and continues out
from there, renaming the C++ classes, intrinsics, and other
target-local objects for consistency.
"ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their
life in ARM64 use an arm64 triple, those from AArch64 use an aarch64
triple. Both should be equivalent though.
This finishes the AArch64 merge, and everyone should feel free to
continue committing as normal now.

Since visibility is meaningless for symbols with local linkage, check
local linkage before visibility when setting symbol attributes.
When linkage is `internal` and the visibility is `hidden`, the exposed
attribute is now `LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_INTERNAL` instead of
`LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_HIDDEN`. Although the bitfield allows *both* to be
specified, the combination is nonsense anyway.
Given changes (in progress) to drop visibility when a symbol has local
linkage, this almost has no functionality change: it's mostly a cleanup
to clarify the logic.
The exception is when something has `appending` linkage. Before this
change, such symbols would be advertised as `LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_INTERNAL`;
now, they'll be given `LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_COMMON`.
Unfortunately this is really awkward to test. This only changes what we
advertise to linkers (before running LTO), not what the final object
looks like. In theory I could add `DEBUG` output to `llvm-lto` (and
test with "REQUIRES: asserts"), but follow-up commits to disallow
`internal hidden` simplify this anyway.

For now it contains a single flag, SanitizeAddress, which enables
AddressSanitizer instrumentation of inline assembly.

diagnostic that includes location information.
Currently if one has this assembly:
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
where SOME_VALUE is undefined ones gets the less than
useful error message with no location information:
% clang -c x.s
clang -cc1as: fatal error: error in backend: expected relocatable expression
With this fix one now gets a more useful error message
with location information:
% clang -c x.s
x.s:5:8: error: expected relocatable expression
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
^
To do this I plumbed the SMLoc through the MCObjectStreamer
EmitValue() and EmitValueImpl() interfaces so it could be used
when creating the MCFixup.

Without the patch to LTOModule.cpp, the test case will produce the error:

This adds a second implementation of the AArch64 architecture to LLVM,
accessible in parallel via the "arm64" triple. The plan over the
coming weeks & months is to merge the two into a single backend,
during which time thorough code review should naturally occur.
Everything will be easier with the target in-tree though, hence this
commit.

These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:
* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.
It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.
With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.
The objc uses are currently split in
* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.
The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are
* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.
Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.
For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.
