Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.

The ELF format is used on Windows by the MCJIT engine. Thus, on Windows, the
ELFObjectWriter can encounter symbols mangled using the MS Visual Studio C++
name mangling. Symbols mangled using the MSVC C++ name mangling can legally
have "@@@" as a substring. The EFLObjectWriter should not interpret the "@@@"
substring as specifying GNU-style symbol versioning. The ELFObjectWriter
therefore check for the MSVC C++ name mangling prefix which is either "?", "@?",
"imp_?" or "imp_?@".

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!

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.

As discussed in a previous checking to support the .localentry
directive on PowerPC, we need to inspect the actual target symbol
in needsRelocateWithSymbol to make the appropriate decision based
on that symbol's st_other bits.
Currently, needsRelocateWithSymbol does not get the target symbol.
However, it is directly available to its sole caller. This patch
therefore simply extends the needsRelocateWithSymbol by a new
parameter "const MCSymbolData &SD", passes in the target symbol,
and updates all derived implementations.
In particular, in the PowerPC implementation, this patch removes
the FIXME added by the previous checkin.

The fix itself is fairly simple: move getAccessVariant to MCValue so that we
replace the old weak expression evaluation with the far more general
EvaluateAsRelocatable.
This then requires that EvaluateAsRelocatable stop when it finds a non
trivial reference kind. And that in turn requires the ELF writer to look
harder for weak references.
Last but not least, this found a case where we were being bug by bug
compatible with gas and accepting an invalid input. I reported pr19647
to track it.

We already do this for shstrtab, so might as well do it for strtab. This
extracts the string table building code into a separate class. The idea
is to use it for other object formats too.
I mostly wanted to do this for the general principle, but it does save a
little bit on object file size. I tried this on a clang bootstrap and
saved 0.54% on the sum of object file sizes (1.14 MB out of 212 MB for
a release build).

This patch centralizes the handling of the thumb bit around
MCStreamer::isThumbFunc and makes isThumbFunc handle aliases.
This fixes a corner case, but the main advantage is having just one
way to check if a MCSymbol is thumb or not. This should still be
refactored to be ARM only, but at least now it is just one predicate
that has to be refactored instead of 3 (isThumbFunc,
ELF_Other_ThumbFunc, and SF_ThumbFunc).

When evaluating an assembly expression for a relocation, we want to
stop at MCSymbols that are in the symbol table, even if they are variables.
This is needed since the semantics may require that the relocation use them.
That is not the case when computing the value of a symbol in the symbol table.
There are no relocations in this case and we have to keep going until we hit
a section or find out that the expression doesn't have an assembly time
value.

The symbol table itself has no relocations, so it is not possible to represent
things like
a = undefined + 1
With the patch we just omit these variables. That matches the behaviour of the
gnu assembler.

When fixing the symbols in each compressed section we were iterating
over all symbols for each compressed section. In extreme cases this
could snowball severely (5min uncompressed -> 35min compressed) due to
iterating over all symbols for each compressed section (large numbers of
compressed sections can be generated by DWARF type units).
To address this, build a map of the symbols in each section ahead of
time, and access that map if a section is being compressed. This brings
compile time for the aforementioned example down to ~6 minutes.

and SymbolMap data structures. There's some pending issues with that,

Both ZLIB and the debug info compressed section header ("ZLIB" + the
size of the uncompressed data) take some constant overhead so in some
cases the compressed data is actually larger than the uncompressed data.
In these cases, just don't compress or rename the section at all.

While unnamed relocations are already cached in side tables in
ELFObjectWriter::RecordRelocation, symbols still need their fragments
updated to refer to the newly compressed fragment (even if that fragment
isn't big enough to fit the offset). Even though we only create
temporary symbols in debug info sections this comes up in 32 bit builds
where even temporary symbols in mergeable sections (such as debug_str)
have to be emitted as named symbols.
I tried a few other ways to do this but they all didn't work for various
reasons:
1) Canonicalize the MCSymbolData in RecordRelocation, nulling out the
Fragment (so it didn't have to be updated by CompressDebugSection). This
doesn't work because some code relies on symbols having fragments to
indicate that they're defined, I think.
2) Canonicalize the MCSymbolData in RecordRelocation to be "first
fragment + absolute offset" so it would be cheaper to just test and
update the fragment in CompressDebugSections. This doesn't work because
the offset computed in RecordRelocation isn't that of the symbol's
fragment, it's the passed in fragment (I haven't figured out what that
fragment is - perhaps it's the location where the relocation is to be
written). And if the fragment offset has to be computed only for this
use we might as well just do it when we need to, in
CompressDebugSection.
I also added an assert to help catch this a bit more clearly, even
though it is UB. The test case improvements would either assert fail
and/or valgrind vail without the fix, even if they wouldn't necessarily
fail the FileCheck output.

To support compressing the debug_line section that contains multiple
fragments (due, I believe, to variation in choices of line table
encoding depending on the size of instruction ranges in the actual
program code) we needed to support compressing multiple MCFragments in a
single pass.
This patch implements that behavior by mutating the post-relaxed and
relocated section to be the compressed form of its former self,
including renaming the section.
This is a more flexible (and less invasive, to a degree) implementation
that will allow for other features such as "use compression only if it's
smaller than the uncompressed data".
Compressing debug_frame would be a possible further extension to this
work, but I've left it for now. The hurdle there is alignment sections -
which might require going as far as to refactor
MCAssembler.cpp:writeFragment to handle writing to a byte buffer or an
MCObjectWriter (there's already a virtual call there, so it shouldn't
add substantial compile-time cost) which could in turn involve
refactoring MCAsmBackend::writeNopData to use that same abstraction...
which involves touching all the backends. This would remove the limited
handling of fragment writing seen in
ELFObjectWriter.cpp:getUncompressedData which would be nice - but it's
more invasive.
I did discover that I (perhaps obviously) don't need to handle
relocations when I rewrite the fragments - since the relocations have
already been applied and computed (and stored into
ELFObjectWriter::Relocations) by this stage (necessarily, because we
need to have written any immediate values or assembly-time relocations
into the data already before we compress it, which we have). The test
case doesn't necessarily cover that in detail - I can add more test
coverage if that's preferred.
