Add a flag to change dsymutil's behavior and force a static variable to
keep its enclosing function. The test shows a situation where that could
be useful. I'm not convinced this behavior makes sense as a default,
which is why it's behind a flag.

The Linux kernel objtool diagnostic `call without frame pointer save/setup`
arise in multiple instrumentation passes (asan/tsan/gcov). With the mechanism
introduced in D100251, it's trivial to respect the command line
-m[no-]omit-leaf-frame-pointer/-f[no-]omit-frame-pointer, so let's do it.
Fix: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1236 (tsan)
Fix: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1238 (asan)
Also document the function attribute "frame-pointer" which is long overdue.

Don't phrase the semantics in terms of the optimizer. Instead have a
more straightforward execution based semantic.

This implements an LLVM tool that's flag- and output-compatible
with macOS's `otool` -- except for bugs, but from testing with both
`otool` and `xcrun otool-classic`, llvm-otool matches vanilla
otool's behavior very well already. It's not 100% perfect, but
it's a very solid start.
This uses the same approach as llvm-objcopy: llvm-objdump uses
a different OptTable when it's invoked as llvm-otool. This
is possible thanks to D100433.

Beginners might not aware of this variable and wanted to try a new experimental target.
Although this variable mention in Writing a Backend Documentation. But it becomes easy to search when listed in cmake.rst doc where most variables are listed.

This patch clarifies the semantics of the nofree function attribute to make clear that it provides an "as if" semantic. That is, a nofree function is guaranteed not to free memory which existed before the call, but might allocate and then deallocate that same memory within the lifetime of the callee.
This is the result of the discussion on llvm-dev under the thread "Ambiguity in the nofree function attribute".
The most important part of this change is the LangRef wording. The rest is minor comment changes to emphasize the new semantics where code was accidentally consistent, and fix one place which wasn't consistent. That one place is currently narrowly used as it is primarily part of the ongoing (and not yet enabled) deref-at-point semantics work.

This patch clarifies the semantics of nocapture attribute.
A 'Pointer Capture' subsection is added to describe the semantics of pointer capture first.
For the nocapture example with two same pointer arguments, it is consistent with the semantics that Alive2 used to run lit tests.

When we pass a AArch64 Homogeneous Floating-Point
Aggregate (HFA) argument with increased alignment
requirements, for example
struct S {
__attribute__ ((__aligned__(16))) double v[4];
};
Clang uses `[4 x double]` for the parameter, which is passed
on the stack at alignment 8, whereas it should be at
alignment 16, following Rule C.4 in
AAPCS (https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst#642parameter-passing-rules)
Currently we don't have a way to express in LLVM IR the
alignment requirements of the function arguments. The align
attribute is applicable to pointers only, and only for some
special ways of passing arguments (e..g byval). When
implementing AAPCS32/AAPCS64, clang resorts to dubious hacks
of coercing to types, which naturally have the needed
alignment. We don't have enough types to cover all the
cases, though.
This patch introduces a new use of the stackalign attribute
to control stack slot alignment, when and if an argument is
passed in memory.
The attribute align is left as an optimizer hint - it still
applies to pointer types only and pertains to the content of
the pointer, whereas the alignment of the pointer itself is
determined by the stackalign attribute.
For byval arguments, the stackalign attribute assumes the
role, previously perfomed by align, falling back to align if
stackalign` is absent.
On the clang side, when passing arguments using the "direct"
style (cf. `ABIArgInfo::Kind`), now we can optionally
specify an alignment, which is emitted as the new
`stackalign` attribute.

This has come up a few times recently, and I was surprised to notice that we don't have anything in the docs.
This patch deliberately sticks to stuff that is uncontroversial in the community. Everything herein is thought to be widely agreed to by a large majority of the community. A few things were noted and removed in review which failed this standard, if you spot anything else, please point it out.

This is a followup to D98145: As far as I know, tracking of kill
flags in FastISel is just a compile-time optimization. However,
I'm not actually seeing any compile-time regression when removing
the tracking. This probably used to be more important in the past,
before FastRA was switched to allocate instructions in reverse
order, which means that it discovers kills as a matter of course.
As such, the kill tracking doesn't really seem to serve a purpose
anymore, and just adds additional complexity and potential for
errors. This patch removes it entirely. The primary changes are
dropping the hasTrivialKill() method and removing the kill
arguments from the emitFast methods. The rest is mechanical fixup.
