to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This is the second part of recommit of r325224. The previous part was
committed in r325426, which deals with C++ memory allocation. Solution
for C memory allocation involved functions `llvm::malloc` and similar.
This was a fragile solution because it caused ambiguity errors in some
cases. In this commit the new functions have names like `llvm::safe_malloc`.
The relevant part of original comment is below, updated for new function
names.
Analysis of fails in the case of out of memory errors can be tricky on
Windows. Such error emerges at the point where memory allocation function
fails, but manifests itself when null pointer is used. These two points
may be distant from each other. Besides, next runs may not exhibit
allocation error.
In some cases memory is allocated by a call to some of C allocation
functions, malloc, calloc and realloc. They are used for interoperability
with C code, when allocated object has variable size and when it is
necessary to avoid call of constructors. In many calls the result is not
checked for null pointer. To simplify checks, new functions are defined
in the namespace 'llvm': `safe_malloc`, `safe_calloc` and `safe_realloc`.
They behave as corresponding standard functions but produce fatal error if
allocation fails. This change replaces the standard functions like 'malloc'
in the cases when the result of the allocation function is not checked
for null pointer.
Finally, there are plain C code, that uses malloc and similar functions. If
the result is not checked, assert statement is added.

Analysis of fails in the case of out of memory errors can be tricky on
Windows. Such error emerges at the point where memory allocation function
fails, but manifests itself when null pointer is used. These two points

allocation error.
Usual programming practice does not require checking result of 'operator
new' because it throws 'std::bad_alloc' in the case of allocation error.
However, LLVM is usually built with exceptions turned off, so 'new' can
return null pointer. This change installs custom new handler, which causes
fatal error in the case of out of memory. The handler is installed
automatically prior to call to 'main' during construction of a static
object defined in 'lib/Support/ErrorHandling.cpp'. If the application does
not use this file, the handler may be installed manually by a call to
'llvm::install_out_of_memory_new_handler', declared in
'include/llvm/Support/ErrorHandling.h".
There are calls to C allocation functions, malloc, calloc and realloc.
They are used for interoperability with C code, when allocated object has
variable size and when it is necessary to avoid call of constructors. In
many calls the result is not checked against null pointer. To simplify
checks, new functions are defined in the namespace 'llvm' with the
same names as these C function. These functions produce fatal error if
allocation fails. User should use 'llvm::malloc' instead of 'std::malloc'
in order to use the safe variant. This change replaces 'std::malloc'
in the cases when the result of allocation function is not checked against
null pointer.
Finally, there are plain C code, that uses malloc and similar functions. If
the result is not checked, assert statements are added.

This is super awkward, but GCC doesn't let us have template visible when
an argument is an inline function and -fvisibility-inlines-hidden is
used.

After a number of previous small iterations, the functions
llvm_start_multithreaded() and llvm_stop_multithreaded() have
been reduced essentially to no-ops. This change removes them
entirely.

These annotations are disabled entirely when either ENABLE_THREADS is off, or
building a release build. When enabled, they add calls to functions with no
statements to ManagedStatic's getters.
Use these annotations to inform tsan that the race used inside ManagedStatic
initialization is actually benign. Thanks to Kostya Serebryany for helping
write this patch!
