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.
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.

It is intended to be used for a family of personality functions that
have similar IR preparation requirements. Typically when interoperating
with MSVC personality functions, bits of functionality need to be
outlined from the main function into helper functions. There is also
usually more than one landing pad per invoke, which does not match the
LLVM IR landingpad representation.
None of this is implemented yet. This change just adds a new enum that
is active for *-windows-msvc and delegates to the EH removal preparation
pass. No functionality change for other targets.

Having two ways to do this doesn't seem terribly helpful and
consistently using the insert version (which we already has) seems like
it'll make the code easier to understand to anyone working with standard
data structures. (I also updated many references to the Entry's
key and value to use first() and second instead of getKey{Data,Length,}
and get/setValue - for similar consistency)
Also removes the GetOrCreateValue functions so there's less surface area
to StringMap to fix/improve/change/accommodate move semantics, etc.

Summary:
The current "WinEH" exception handling type is more about Itanium-style
LSDA tables layered on top of the Windows native unwind info format
instead of .eh_frame tables or EHABI unwind info. Use the name
"ItaniumWinEH" to better reflect the hybrid nature of the design.
Also rename isExceptionHandlingDWARF to usesItaniumLSDAForExceptions,
since the LSDA is part of the Itanium C++ ABI document, and not the
DWARF standard.

Summary:
Large-model was added first. With the addition of support for multiple PIC
models in LLVM, now add small-model PIC for 32-bit PowerPC, SysV4 ABI. This

data objects.

With this patch MCDisassembler::getInstruction takes an ArrayRef<uint8_t>
instead of a MemoryObject.
Even on X86 there is a maximum size an instruction can have. Given
that, it seems way simpler and more efficient to just pass an ArrayRef
to the disassembler instead of a MemoryObject and have it do a virtual
call every time it wants some extra bytes.

When LLVM emits DWARF call frame information, it currently creates a local,
section-relative symbol in the code section, which is pointed to by a
relocation on the .eh_frame section. However, for C++ we emit some functions in
section groups, and the SysV ABI has some rules to make it easier to remove
these sections
(http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html#section_group_rules):
A symbol table entry with STB_LOCAL binding that is defined relative to one
of a group's sections, and that is contained in a symbol table section that is
not part of the group, must be discarded if the group members are discarded.
References to this symbol table entry from outside the group are not allowed.
This means that we need to use the function symbol for the relocation, not a
temporary symbol.
There was a comment in the code claiming that the local symbol was used to
avoid creating a relocation, but a relocation must be created anyway as the
code and CFI are in different sections.

Summary:
Currently when emitting a label, a new data fragment is created for it if the
current fragment isn't a data fragment.
This change instead enqueues the label and attaches it to the next fragment
(e.g. created for the next instruction) if possible.
When bundle alignment is not enabled, this has no functionality change (it
just results in fewer extra fragments being created). For bundle alignment,
previously labels would point to the beginning of the bundle padding instead
of the beginning of the emitted instruction. This was not only less efficient
(e.g. jumping to the nops instead of past them) but also led to miscalculation
of the address of the GOT (since MC uses a label difference rather than
emitting a "." symbol).

The only difference from r219829 is using
getOrCreateSectionSymbol(*ELFSec)
instead of
GetOrCreateSymbol(ELFSec->getSectionName())
in ELFObjectWriter which causes us to use the correct section symbol even if
we have multiple sections with the same name.
Original messages:
r219829:
Correctly handle references to section symbols.
When processing assembly like
.long .text
we were creating a new undefined symbol .text. GAS on the other hand would
handle that as a reference to the .text section.
This patch implements that by creating the section symbols earlier so that
they are visible during asm parsing.
The patch also updates llvm-readobj to print the symbol number in the relocation
dump so that the test can differentiate between two sections with the same name.

Summary:
Currently an error is thrown if bundle alignment mode is set more than once
per module (either via the API or the .bundle_align_mode directive). This
change allows setting it multiple times as long as the alignment doesn't
change.
Also nested bundle_lock groups are currently not allowed. This change allows
them, with the effect that the group stays open until all nests are exited,
and if any of the bundle_lock directives has the align_to_end flag, the
group becomes align_to_end.
These changes make the bundle aligment simpler to use in the compiler, and
also better match the corresponding support in GNU as.
