For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

This allows rematerialization during register coalescing to handle
more cases involving operations like SUBREG_TO_REG which might need to
be rematerialized using sub-register indices.
For example, code like:
v1(GPR64):sub_32 = MOVZ something
v2(GPR64) = COPY v1(GPR64)
should be convertable to:
v2(GPR64):sub_32 = MOVZ something
but previously we just gave up in places like this

The MOVZ/MOVK instruction sequence may not be the most efficient (a
literal-pool load could be better) but adding that would require
reinstating the ConstantIslands pass.
For now the sequence is correct, and that's enough. Beware, as of
commit GNU ld does not appear to support the relocations needed for
this. Its primary purpose (for now) will be to support JITed code,
since in that case there is no guarantee of where your code will end
up in memory relative to external symbols it references.

I've managed to convince myself that AArch64's acquire/release
instructions are sufficient to guarantee C++11's required semantics,
even in the sequentially-consistent case.

The previous algorithm could not deal properly with scavenging multiple virtual
registers because it kept only one live virtual -> physical mapping (and
iterated through operands in order). Now we don't maintain a current mapping,
but rather use replaceRegWith to completely remove the virtual register as
soon as the mapping is established.
In order to allow the register scavenger to return a physical register killed
by an instruction for definition by that same instruction, we now call
RS->forward(I) prior to eliminating virtual registers defined in I. This
requires a minor update to forward to ignore virtual registers.
These new features will be tested in forthcoming commits.

If an otherwise weak var is actually defined in this unit, it can't be
undefined at runtime so we can use normal global variable sequences (ADRP/ADD)
to access it.

This implements the review suggestion to simplify the AArch64 backend. If we
later discover that we *really* need the extra complexity of the
ConstantIslands pass for performance reasons it can be resurrected.

In the near future litpools will be in a different section, which means that
any access to them is at least two instructions. This makes the case for a
movz/movk pair (if total offset <= 32-bits) even more compelling.

Weakly defined symbols should evaluate to 0 if they're undefined at
link-time. This is impossible to do with the usual address generation
patterns, so we should use a literal pool entry to materlialise the
address.

base point of a load, and the overall alignment of the load. This caused infinite loops in DAG combine with the
original application of this patch.
ORIGINAL COMMIT LOG:
When the target-independent DAGCombiner inferred a higher alignment for a load,
it would replace the load with one with the higher alignment. However, it did
not place the new load in the worklist, which prevented later DAG combines in
the same phase (for example, target-specific combines) from ever seeing it.
This patch corrects that oversight, and updates some tests whose output changed
due to slightly different DAGCombine outputs.

Only Linux is supported at the moment, and other platforms quickly fault. As a
result these tests would fail on non-Linux hosts. It may be worth making the
tests more generic again as more platforms are supported.

This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.
