Before when deciding if we needed a relocation in A-B, we wore only checking
if A was weak.
This fixes the asymmetry.
The "InSet" argument should probably be renamed to "ForValue", since InSet is
very MachO specific, but doing so in this patch would make it hard to read.
This fixes PR22815.

Fixes PR19582.
Previously, when an asm assignment (.set or =) was created, we would look up
the section immediately in MCSymbol::setVariableValue. This caused symbols
to receive the wrong section if the RHS of the assignment had not been seen
yet. This had a knock-on effect in the object file emitters, causing them
to emit extra symbols, or to give symbols the wrong visibility or the wrong
section. For example, in the following asm:
.data
.Llocal:
.text
leaq .Llocal1(%rip), %rdi
.Llocal1 = .Llocal2
.Llocal2 = .Llocal
the first assignment would give .Llocal1 a null section, which would never get
fixed up by the second assignment. This would cause the ELF object file emitter
to consider .Llocal1 to be an undefined symbol and give it external linkage,
even though .Llocal1 should not have been emitted at all in the object file.
Or in the following asm:
alias_to_local = Ltmp0
Ltmp0:
the Mach-O object file emitter would give the alias_to_local symbol a n_type
of N_SECT and a n_sect of 0. This is invalid under the Mach-O specification,
which requires N_SECT symbols to receive a non-zero section number if the
symbol is defined in a section in the object file.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/MachORuntime/#//apple_ref/c/tag/nlist
After this change we do not look up the section when the assignment is created,
but instead look it up on demand and store it in Section, which is treated
as a cache if the symbol is a variable symbol.
This change also fixes a bug in MCExpr::FindAssociatedSection. Previously,
if we saw a subtraction, we would return the first referenced section, even in
cases where we should have been returning the absolute pseudo-section. Now we
always return the absolute pseudo-section for expressions that subtract two
section-derived expressions. This isn't always correct (e.g. if one of the
sections ends up being laid out at an absolute address), but it's probably
the best we can do without more context.
This allows us to remove code in two places where we appear to have been
working around this bug, in MachObjectWriter::markAbsoluteVariableSymbols
and in X86AsmPrinter::EmitStartOfAsmFile.

The fixes are to note that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local
relocations can be used. In particular, ld64 requires that relocations to
cstring/cfstrings use linker visible symbols.
Original message:
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.
llvm-svn: 226503
One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.
Thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for testing this!

I started trying to fix a small issue, but this code has seen a small fix too
many.
The old code was fairly convoluted. Some of the issues it had:
* It failed to check if a symbol difference was in the some section when
converting a relocation to pcrel.
* It failed to check if the relocation was already pcrel.
* The pcrel value computation was wrong in some cases (relocation-pc.s)
* It was missing quiet a few cases where it should not convert symbol
relocations to section relocations, leaving the backends to patch it up.
* It would not propagate the fact that it had changed a relocation to pcrel,
requiring a quiet nasty work around in ARM.
* It was missing comments.
llvm-svn: 205076
The function hasReliableSymbolDifference had exactly one use in the MachO
writer. It is also only true for X86_64. In fact, the comments refers to
"Darwin x86_64" and everything else, so this makes the code match the
comment.
If this is to be abstracted again, it should be a property of
TargetObjectWriter, like useAggressiveSymbolFolding.

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

* wrap code blocks in \code ... \endcode;
* refer to parameter names in paragraphs correctly (\arg is not what most
people want -- it starts a new paragraph);
* use \param instead of \arg to document parameters in order to be consistent
with the rest of the codebase.

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.

Move the target-specific RecordRelocation logic out of the generic MC
MachObjectWriter and into the target-specific object writers. This allows
nuking quite a bit of target knowledge from the supposedly target-independent
bits in lib/MC.

IsSymbolRefDifferenceFullyResolved, it turns out this does change behavior on
enough cases for x86-32 that I would rather wait a bit on it.
- In practice, we will want to change this eventually because it only means we
generate less relocations (it also eliminates the need for the horrible
'.set' hack that Darwin requires in some places).
