Section symbols exist as an optimization: instead of having multiple relocations
point to different symbols, many of them can point to a single section symbol.
When that optimization is unused, a section symbol is also unused and adds no
extra information to the object file.
This saves a bit of space on the object files and makes the output of
llvm-objdump -t easier to read and consequently some tests get quite a bit
simpler.

The fix is just that getOther had not been updated for packing the st_other
values in fewer bits and could return spurious values:
- unsigned Other = (getFlags() & (0x3f << ELF_STO_Shift)) >> ELF_STO_Shift;
+ unsigned Other = (getFlags() & (0x7 << ELF_STO_Shift)) >> ELF_STO_Shift;
Original message:
Pack the MCSymbolELF bit fields into MCSymbol's Flags.
This reduces MCSymolfELF from 64 bytes to 56 bytes on x86_64.
While at it, also make getOther/setOther easier to use by accepting unshifted
STO_* values.

With this getBinging can now return the correct answer for all cases not

Some temporary symbols are created by MC itself. These symbols are never used
for lookup and are never included in the object symbol table, so we can
avoid creating a name for them.
Other temporaries are created by CodeGen or by the user by explicitly asking
for a name starting with .L (or L on MachO).
These temporaries behave like regular symbols, we just try to avoid including
them in the object symbol table, but sometimes they end up there:
const char *foo() {
return "abc" + 3;
}
will have a relocation pointing to a .L symbol.
It just so happens that almost all MC created temporary has the AlwaysAddSuffix
option and CodeGen/user created ones don't.
One interesting future optimization would be to use unnamed symbols for
all temporaries, but that would require use an st_name of 0 or
having the object writer create the names if a symbol does end up in the
symbol table.
No testcase since this just avoid creating a few extra names for MC created
temporaries.

Summary:
Following on from r209907 which made personality encodings indirect, do the
same for TType encodings. This fixes the case where a try/catch block needs
to generate references to, for example, std::exception in the
.gcc_except_table.
Previous attempts at committing this broke the buildbots due to bugs in IAS.
These bugs have now been fixed so trying again.

If the type isn't trivially moveable emplace can skip a potentially

Symbols are no longer required to be named, but this leads to a crash here if an
unnamed symbol checks that its first character is '$'.
Change the code to first check for a name, then check its first character.
No test case i'm afraid as this is debugging code, but any test case with temp labels
and 'llc --debug --filetype=obj' would have crashed.

Small (really small!) C++ exception handling examples work on 32-bit x86

ELF has no restrictions on where undefined symbols go relative to other defined

Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.

Previously, subtarget features were a bitfield with the underlying type being uint64_t.
Since several targets (X86 and ARM, in particular) have hit or were very close to hitting this bound, switching the features to use a bitset.
No functional change.
The first several times this was committed (e.g. r229831, r233055), it caused several buildbot failures.
Apparently the reason for most failures was both clang and gcc's inability to deal with large numbers (> 10K) of bitset constructor calls in tablegen-generated initializers of instruction info tables.
This should now be fixed.

This commit uses DW_EH_PE_sdata8 for N64 as far as is possible at the moment.
However, it is possible to end up with DW_EH_PE_sdata4 when a TargetMachine is
not available. There's no risk of issues with inconsistency here since the
tables are self describing but it does mean there is a small chance of the
PC-relative offset being out of range for particularly large programs.

Normally an ELF .o has two string tables, one for symbols, one for section
names.
With the scheme of naming sections like ".text.foo" where foo is a symbol,
there is a big potential saving in using a single one.
Building llvm+clang+lld with master and with this patch the results were:
master: 193,267,008 bytes
patch: 186,107,952 bytes
master non unique section names: 183,260,192 bytes
patch non unique section names: 183,118,632 bytes
So using non usique saves 10,006,816 bytes, and the patch saves 7,159,056 while
still using distinct names for the sections.

Shave a pointer off of `MCSymbolName` by storing `StringMapEntry<bool>*`
instead of `StringRef`. This brings `sizeof(MCSymbol)` down to 64 on
64-bit platforms, a nice round number. My profile showed memory
dropping from 914 MB down to 908 MB, roughly 0.7%. Other than memory
usage, no functionality change here.

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Create a low-overhead path for `EmitLabelDifference()` that emits a
emits an absolute number when (1) the output is an object stream and (2)
the two symbols are in the same data fragment.
This drops memory usage on Mach-O from 975 MB down to 919 MB (5.8%).
The only call is when `!doesDwarfUseRelocationsAcrossSections()` --
i.e., on Mach-O -- since otherwise an absolute offset from the start of
the section needs a relocation. (`EmitLabelDifference()` is cheaper on
ELF anyway, since it creates 1 fewer temp symbol, and it gets called far
less often. It's not clear to me if this is even a bottleneck there.)

Finally remove the `MCSymbolData::Symbol` pointer. It was still being
used to track whether `MCSymbolData` had been initialized, but this is
better tracked by the bitfield in `MCSymbol`.
The only caller of `MCSymbolData::initialize()` was `MCAssembler`, which
(other than `Symbol`) passed in all-0 values. Replace all that
indirection with a default constructor.
The main point is a cleanup (and there's more cleanup to do), but there
are also some small memory savings. I measured ~989 MB down to ~975 MB,
cutting a little over 1% off the top of `llc`.

Remove the last use of `MCSymbolData::getSymbol()`. There's some
*really* hairy stuff going on in `MachObjectWriter::WriteNList()` that I
want to come back to. In particular, it updates `Symbol` to point at
its aliasee (if any), but leaves `Data` behind, and it's not clear
whether everything makes sense there.
For now I've left the logic unchanged by adding `OrigSymbol` and moving
the FIXME from r237750 up a bit higher. I've filed PR23598 to track
looking into this.

This code appends the filename to the directory then looks that up in a StringMap. We should be using the existing Twine::toStringRef method instead of Twine::str() as most times we'll succeed in the lookup.
Its possible that we should also consider allowing StringMap to lookup a key using a Twine in addition to a StringRef but that would complicate the code with little known benefit above and beyond this change.
This saves 170k temporary allocations when running llc on the verify_use_list_order bitcode with debug info for x86.

r237490 accidentally dropped MCSymbolData from the MCAssembler dump.

Turn `MCSymbolData` into a field inside of `MCSymbol`. Keep all the old
API alive for now, so that consumers can be updated in a later commit.
This means we still temporarily need the back pointer from
`MCSymbolData` to `MCSymbol`, but I'll remove it in a follow-up.
This optimizes for object emission over assembly emission. By removing
the `DenseMap` in `MCAssembler`, llc memory usage drops from around 1040
MB to 1001 MB (3.8%).

Stop exposing the storage for `MCAssembler::Symbols`, and have
`MCAssembler` add symbols directly to its list instead of using a hook
