Most users won't have to worry about this as all of the
'getOrInsertFunction' functions on Module will default to the program
address space.
An overload has been added to Function::Create to abstract away the
details for most callers.
This is based on https://reviews.llvm.org/D37054 but without the changes to
make passing a Module to Function::Create() mandatory. I have also added
some more tests and fixed the LLParser to accept call instructions for
types in the program address space.

Currently we do not represent runtime preemption in the IR, which has several
drawbacks:
1) The semantics of GlobalValues differ depending on the object file format
you are targeting (as well as the relocation-model and -fPIE value).
2) We have no way of disabling inlining of run time interposable functions,
since in the IR we only know if a function is link-time interposable.
Because of this llvm cannot support elf-interposition semantics.
3) In LTO builds of executables we will have extra knowledge that a symbol
resolved to a local definition and can't be preemptable, but have no way to
propagate that knowledge through the compiler.
This patch adds preemptability specifiers to the IR with the following meaning:
dso_local --> means the compiler may assume the symbol will resolve to a
definition within the current linkage unit and the symbol may be accessed
directly even if the definition is not within this compilation unit.
dso_preemptable --> means that the compiler must assume the GlobalValue may be
replaced with a definition from outside the current linkage unit at runtime.
To ease transitioning dso_preemptable is treated as a 'default' in that
low-level codegen will still do the same checks it did previously to see if a
symbol should be accessed indirectly. Eventually when IR producers emit the
specifiers on all Globalvalues we can change dso_preemptable to mean 'always
access indirectly', and remove the current logic.

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

This patch extends llvm-ir to allow attributes to be set on global variables.
An RFC was sent out earlier by my colleague James Molloy: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-March/053100.html
A key part of that proposal was to extend LLVM-IR to carry attributes on global variables.
This generic feature could be useful for multiple purposes.
In our present context, it would be useful to carry user specified sections for bss/rodata/data.

I checked that all of these out-of-line methods previously compiled to

Summary:
Convention wisdom says that bytes in Function are precious, and the
vast, vast majority of globals do not live in special sections. Even
when they do, they tend to live in the same section. Store the section
name on the LLVMContext in a StringSet, and maintain a map from
GlobalObject* to section name like we do for metadata, prefix data, etc.
The fact that we've survived this long wasting at least three pointers
of space in Function suggests that Function bytes are perhaps not as
precious as we once thought. Given that most functions have metadata
attachments when debug info is enabled, we might consider adding a
pointer here to make that access more efficient.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

Stop converting implicitly between iterators and pointers/references in
lib/IR. For convenience, I've added a `getIterator()` accessor to
`ilist_node` so that callers don't need to know how to spell the
iterator class (i.e., they can use `X.getIterator()` instead of
`Function::iterator(X)`).
I'll eventually disallow these implicit conversions entirely, but
there's a lot of code, so it doesn't make sense to do it all in one
patch. One library or so at a time.
Why? To root out cases of `getNextNode()` and `getPrevNode()` being
used in iterator logic. The design of `ilist` makes that invalid when
the current node could be at the back of the list, but it happens to
"work" right now because of a bug where those functions never return
`nullptr` if you're using a half-node sentinel. Before I can fix the
function, I have to remove uses of it that rely on it misbehaving.
(Maybe the function should just be deleted anyway? But I don't want
deleting it -- potentially a huge project -- to block fixing
ilist/iplist.)

This was a flawed change - it just caused the getElementType call to be
deferred until later, when we really need to remove it. Now that the IR
for GlobalAliases has been updated, the root cause is addressed that way

- because we want to pass the pointee type directly down further).

This is part of the work to devirtualize Value.
The old pattern was to call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstant which was overridden by
subclasses. Those could then call replaceUsesOfWithOnConstantImpl on Constant
to handle deleting the current value.
To be consistent with other parts of the code, this has been changed so that we
call the method on Constant, and that dispatches to an Impl on subclasses.
As part of this, it made sense to rename the methods to be more descriptive. The
new name is Constant::handleOperandChange, and it requires that all subclasses of
Constant implement handleOperandChangeImpl, even if they just throw an error if
they shouldn't be called.

this method on.

This is to try make it very clear that subclasses shouldn't be changing

I looked over all places which update NumOperands and they are all safe.
Hung off use User's don't use NumOperands to compute the OperandList so they
are safe to continue to manipulate it. The only other User which changed it
was GlobalVariable which has an optional init list but always allocated space
for a single Use. It was correctly setting NumOperands to 1 before setting an
initializer, and setting it to 0 after clearing the init list, so the order was safe.
