The behaviour of the XCore's instruction buffer means that the performance
of the same code sequence can differ depending on whether it starts at a 4
byte aligned address or not. Since we don't model the instruction buffer
in the backend we have no way of knowing for sure if it is beneficial to
word align a specific function. However, in the absence of precise
modelling, it is better on balance to word align functions because:
* It makes a fetch-nop while executing the prologue slightly less likely.
* If we don't word align functions then a small perturbation in one
function can have a dramatic knock on effect. If the size of the function
changes it might change the alignment and therefore the performance of
all the functions that happen to follow it in the binary. This butterfly
effect makes it harder to reason about and measure the performance of
code.

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).

Xcore target ABI requires const data that is externally visible
to be handled differently if it has C-language linkage rather than
C++ language linkage.
Clang now emits ".cp.rodata" section information.
All other externally visible constant data will be placed in the DP section.

code to see if we're emitting a function into a non-default

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.

Representing dllexport/dllimport as distinct linkage types prevents using
these attributes on templates and inline functions.
Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and
weak ODR, the old import/export linkage types are replaced with a new
separate visibility-like specifier:
define available_externally dllimport void @f() {}
@Var = dllexport global i32 1, align 4
Linkage for dllexported globals and functions is now equal to their linkage
without dllexport. Imported globals and functions must be either
declarations with external linkage, or definitions with
AvailableExternallyLinkage.

This requires a knowledge of the stack size which is not known until
the frame is complete, hence the need for the XCoreFTAOElim pass
which lowers the XCoreISD::FRAME_TO_ARGS_OFFSET instrution into its
final form.

Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a
GlobalValue had to link with Target.
This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact
behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target.
With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

This changes the MachineFrameInfo API to use the new SSPLayoutKind information
produced by the StackProtector pass (instead of a boolean flag) and updates a
few pass dependencies (to preserve the SSP analysis).
The stack layout follows the same approach used prior to this change - i.e.,
only LargeArray stack objects will be placed near the canary and everything
else will be laid out normally. After this change, structures containing large
arrays will also be placed near the canary - a case previously missed by the
old implementation.
Out of tree targets will need to update their usage of
MachineFrameInfo::CreateStackObject to remove the MayNeedSP argument.
The next patch will implement the rules for sspstrong and sspreq. The end goal
is to support ssp-strong stack layout rules.
WIP.

eliminateFrameIndex() has been reworked to handle both small & large frames
with either a FP or SP.
An additional Slot is required for Scavenging spills when not using FP for large frames.
Reworked the handling of Register Scavenging.
Whether we are using an FP or not, whether it is a large frame or not,
and whether we are using a large code model or not are now independent.

When using large code model:
Global objects larger than 'CodeModelLargeSize' bytes are placed in sections named with a trailing ".large"
The folded global address of such objects are lowered into the const pool.
During inspection it was noted that LowerConstantPool() was using a default offset of zero.
A fix was made, but due to only offsets of zero being generated, testing only verifies the change is not detrimental.
Correct the flags emitted for explicitly specified sections.
We assume the size of the object queried by getSectionForConstant() is never greater than CodeModelLargeSize.
To handle greater than CodeModelLargeSize, changes to AsmPrinter would be required.

Large frame offsets are loaded from the ConstantPool.
Where possible, offsets are encoded using the smaller MKMSK instruction.
Large frame offsets can only be used when there is a frame-pointer.
