Gordon Henriksen 8fa8929177 With this patch, the LowerGC transformation becomes the 
ShadowStackCollector, which additionally has reduced overhead with
no sacrifice in portability.

Considering a function @fun with 8 loop-local roots,
ShadowStackCollector introduces the following overhead
(x86):

; shadowstack prologue
        movl    L_llvm_gc_root_chain$non_lazy_ptr, %eax
        movl    (%eax), %ecx
        movl    $___gc_fun, 20(%esp)
        movl    $0, 24(%esp)
        movl    $0, 28(%esp)
        movl    $0, 32(%esp)
        movl    $0, 36(%esp)
        movl    $0, 40(%esp)
        movl    $0, 44(%esp)
        movl    $0, 48(%esp)
        movl    $0, 52(%esp)
        movl    %ecx, 16(%esp)
        leal    16(%esp), %ecx
        movl    %ecx, (%eax)

; shadowstack loop overhead
        (none)

; shadowstack epilogue
        movl    48(%esp), %edx
        movl    %edx, (%ecx)

; shadowstack metadata
        .align  3
___gc_fun:                              # __gc_fun
        .long   8
        .space  4

In comparison to LowerGC:

; lowergc prologue
        movl    L_llvm_gc_root_chain$non_lazy_ptr, %eax
        movl    (%eax), %ecx
        movl    %ecx, 48(%esp)

        movl    $0, 60(%esp)
        movl    $0, 56(%esp)
        movl    $0, 68(%esp)
        movl    $0, 64(%esp)
        movl    $0, 76(%esp)
        movl    $0, 72(%esp)
        movl    $0, 84(%esp)
        movl    $0, 80(%esp)
        movl    $0, 92(%esp)
        movl    $0, 88(%esp)
        movl    $0, 100(%esp)
        movl    $0, 96(%esp)
        movl    $0, 108(%esp)
        movl    $0, 104(%esp)
        movl    $0, 116(%esp)
        movl    $0, 112(%esp)

This directory contains the various runtime libraries used by components of 
the LLVM compiler.  For example, the automatic pool allocation transformation
inserts calls to an external pool allocator library.  This runtime library is
an example of the type of library that lives in these directories.
