Accepting quotes is a property of an assembler, not of an object file. For
example, ELF can support any names for sections and symbols, but the gnu
assembler only accepts quotes in some contexts and llvm-mc in a few more.
LLVM should not produce different symbols based on a guess about which assembler
will be reading the code it is printing.

This is another (final?) stab at making us able to parse our own asm output
on Windows.
Symbols on Windows often contain @'s and ?'s in their names. Our asm parser
didn't like this. ?'s were not allowed, and @'s were intepreted as trying to
reference PLT/GOT/etc.
We can't just add quotes around the bad names, since e.g. for MinGW, we use gas
to assemble, and it doesn't like quotes in some places (notably in .def
directives).
This commit makes us allow ?'s in symbol names, and @'s in symbol names for MS
assembly.

The binutils assembler supports a mode called DOLLAR_DOT which treats
the dollar sign token as a reference to the current program counter if
the dollar sign doesn't precede a constant or identifier.
This commit adds a new MCAsmInfo flag stating whether or not a given
target supports this interpretation of the dollar sign token; by
default, this flag is not enabled.
Further, enable this flag for PPC. The system assembler for AIX and
binutils both support using the dollar sign in this manner.
This fixes PR17353.

I've been comparing the object file output of LLVM's integrated
assembler against the external assembler on PowerPC, and one
area where differences still remain are in DWARF sections.
In particular, the GNU assembler generates .debug_frame and
.debug_line sections using a code alignment factor of 4, since
all PowerPC instructions have size 4 and must be aligned to a
multiple of 4. However, current MC code hard-codes a code
alignment factor of 1.
This patch changes this by adding a "minimum instruction alignment"
data element to MCAsmInfo and using this as code alignment factor.
This requires passing a MCContext into MCDwarfLineAddr::Encode
and MCDwarfLineAddr::EncodeAdvanceLoc. Note that one caller,
MCDwarfLineAddr::Write, didn't actually have that information
available. However, it turns out that this routine is in fact
never used in the whole code base, so the patch simply removes
it. If it turns out to be needed again at a later time, it
could be re-added with an updated interface.

Add the x32 environment kind to the triple, and separate the concept of
pointer size and callee save stack slot size, since they're not equal
on x32.

Mips16 is really a processor decoding mode (ala thumb 1) and in the same
program, mips16 and mips32 functions can exist and can call each other.
If a jal type instruction encounters an address with the lower bit set, then
the processor switches to mips16 mode (if it is not already in it). If the
lower bit is not set, then it switches to mips32 mode.
The linker knows which functions are mips16 and which are mips32.
When relocation is performed on code labels, this lower order bit is
set if the code label is a mips16 code label.
In general this works just fine, however when creating exception handling
tables and dwarf, there are cases where you don't want this lower order
bit added in.
This has been traditionally distinguished in gas assembly source by using a
different syntax for the label.
lab1: ; this will cause the lower order bit to be added
lab2=. ; this will not cause the lower order bit to be added
In some cases, it does not matter because in dwarf and debug tables
the difference of two labels is used and in that case the lower order
bits subtract each other out.
To fix this, I have added to mcstreamer the notion of a debuglabel.
The default is for label and debug label to be the same. So calling
EmitLabel and EmitDebugLabel produce the same result.
For various reasons, there is only one set of labels that needs to be
modified for the mips exceptions to work. These are the "$eh_func_beginXXX"
labels.
Mips overrides the debug label suffix from ":" to "=." .
This initial patch fixes exceptions. More changes most likely
will be needed to DwarfCFException to make all of this work
for actual debugging. These changes will be to emit debug labels in some
places where a simple label is emitted now.

For some reason .lcomm uses byte alignment and .comm log2 alignment so we can't
use the same setting for both. Fix this by reintroducing the LCOMM enum.
I verified this against mingw's gcc.

- Darwin lied about not supporting .lcomm and turned it into zerofill in the
asm parser. Push the zerofill-conversion down into macho-specific code.
- This makes the tri-state LCOMMType enum superfluous, there are no targets
without .lcomm.
- Do proper error reporting when trying to use .lcomm with alignment on a target
that doesn't support it.
- .comm and .lcomm alignment was parsed in bytes on COFF, should be power of 2.
- Fixes PR13755 (.lcomm crashes on ELF).

Use a dedicated MachO load command to annotate data-in-code regions.
This is the same format the linker produces for final executable images,
allowing consistency of representation and use of introspection tools
for both object and executable files.
Data-in-code regions are annotated via ".data_region"/".end_data_region"
directive pairs, with an optional region type.
data_region_directive := ".data_region" { region_type }
region_type := "jt8" | "jt16" | "jt32" | "jta32"
end_data_region_directive := ".end_data_region"
The previous handling of ARM-style "$d.*" labels was broken and has
been removed. Specifically, it didn't handle ARM vs. Thumb mode when
marking the end of the section.

by default.
This is a behaviour configurable in the MCAsmInfo. I've decided to turn
it on by default in (possibly optimistic) hopes that most assemblers are
reasonably sane. If this proves a problem, switching to default seems
reasonable.
I'm not sure if this is the opportune place to test, but it seemed good
to make sure it was tested somewhere.

- On COFF the .lcomm directive has an alignment argument.
- On ELF we fall back to .local + .comm

numbers should be printed instead of symbolic register names in
MCAsmStreamer::EmitRegisterName. This is necessary because some versions of
GNU assembler won't accept code in which symbolic register names are used in
cfi directives. There is no change in behavior unless the flag is explicitly
set to true by a backend.

it is both inefficient and unexpected by dwarfdump. Change to
a DW_FORM_data4.
While in here, change the predicate name to reflect that the position
is not really absolute (it is an offset), just that the linker needs a
relocation.

method.
This also make getExprForFDESymbol on ELF equal to the one on MachO, and it
can be made non-virtual.

The MC asm lexer wasn't honoring a non-default (anything but ';') statement
separator. Fix that, and generalize a bit to support multi-character
statement separators.

foo = a - b
.long foo
instead of just
.long a - b
First, on darwin9 64 bits the assembler produces the wrong result. Second,
if "a" is the end of the section all darwin assemblers (9, 10 and mc) will not
consider a - b to be a constant but will if the dummy foo is created.
Split how we handle these cases. The first one is something MC should take care
of. The second one has to be handled by the caller.

This fixes
*) Direct object emission was producing objects without the workaround on
darwin9.
*) Assembly printing was producing objects with the workaround on linux.

and testing is easier. A good example is the unknown-location.ll test that
now can just look for ".loc 1 0 0". We also don't use a DW_LNE_set_address for
every address change anymore.
