This patch provides two major changes:
1. Add getRelocationInfo to check if a constant will have static, dynamic, or
no relocations. (Also rename the original needsRelocation to needsDynamicRelocation.)
2. Only allow a constant with no relocations (static or dynamic) to be placed
in a mergeable section.
This will allow unused symbols that contain static relocations and happen to
fit in mergeable constant sections (.rodata.cstN) to instead be placed in
unique-named sections if -fdata-sections is used and subsequently garbage collected
by --gc-sections.

Basic block sections enables function sections implicitly, this is not needed
and is inefficient with "=list" option.
We had basic block sections enable function sections implicitly in clang. This
is particularly inefficient with "=list" option as it places functions that do
not have any basic block sections in separate sections. This causes unnecessary
object file overhead for large applications.
This patch disables this implicit behavior. It only creates function sections
for those functions that require basic block sections.
Further, there was an inconistent behavior with llc as llc was not turning on
function sections by default. This patch makes llc and clang consistent and
tests are added to check the new behavior.
This is the first of two patches and this adds functionality in LLVM to
create a new section for the entry block if function sections is not
enabled.

Replace with forward declarations and move includes down to source files where required.
I also needed to move the TargetLoweringObjectFile::SectionForGlobal wrapper implementation down into TargetLoweringObjectFile.cpp
in the same section.
This allows specifying BasicBlock clusters like the following example:
!foo
!!0 1 2
!!4
This places basic blocks 0, 1, and 2 in one section in this order, and
places basic block #4 in a single section of its own.
This is the second patch in a series of patches to enable basic block
sections support.
This patch adds support for:
* Creating direct jumps at the end of basic blocks that have fall
through instructions.
* New pass, bbsections-prepare, that analyzes placement of basic blocks
in sections.
* Actual placing of a basic block in a unique section with special
handling of exception handling blocks.
* Supports placing a subset of basic blocks in a unique section.
* Support for MIR serialization and deserialization with basic block
sections.

The original behavior was to always emit the offsets to each call site in the
call site table as uleb128 values, however on some architectures (eg RISCV)
these uleb128 offsets into the code cannot always be resolved until link time
(because relaxation will invalidate any calculated offsets), and there are no
appropriate relocations for uleb128 values. As a consequence it needs to be
possible to specify an alternative.
This also switches RISCV to use DW_EH_PE_udata4 for call side encodings in
.gcc_except_table

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.

Summary:
The TType encoding, LSDA encoding, and personality encoding are all
passed explicitly by CodeGen to the assembler through .cfi_* directives,
so only the AsmPrinter needs to know about them.
The FDE CFI encoding however, controls the encoding of the label
implicitly created by the .cfi_startproc directive. That directive seems
to be special in that it doesn't take an encoding, so the assembler just
has to know how to encode one DSO-local label reference from .eh_frame
to .text.
As a result, it looks like MC will continue to have to know when the
large code model is in use. Perhaps we could invent a '.cfi_startproc
[large]' flag so that this knowledge doesn't need to pollute the
assembler.

Following up on the discussion from
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-April/112305.html, undef
values are now placed in the .bss as well as null values. This prevents
undef global values taking up potentially huge amounts of space in the
.data section.
The following two lines now both generate equivalent .bss data:
@vals1 = internal unnamed_addr global [20000000 x i32] zeroinitializer, align 4
@vals2 = internal unnamed_addr global [20000000 x i32] undef, align 4 ; previously unaccounted for
This is primarily motivated by the corresponding issue in the Rust
compiler (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41315).

All these headers already depend on CodeGen headers so moving them into
CodeGen fixes the layering (since CodeGen depends on Target, not the
other way around).

I was surprised to see the code model being passed to MC. After all,
it assembles code, it doesn't create it.
The one place it is used is in the expansion of .cfi directives to
handle .eh_frame being more that 2gb away from the code.
As far as I can tell, gnu assembler doesn't even have an option to
enable this. Compiling a c file with gcc -mcmodel=large produces a
regular looking .eh_frame. This is probably because in practice linker
parse and recreate .eh_frames.
In llvm this is used because the JIT can place the code and .eh_frame
very far apart. Ideally we would fix the jit and delete this
option. This is hard.
Apart from confusion another problem with the current interface is
that most callers pass CodeModel::Default, which is bad since MC has
no way to map it to the target default if it actually needed to.
This patch then replaces the argument with a boolean with a default
value. The vast majority of users don't ever need to look at it. In
fact, only CodeGen and llvm-mc use it and llvm-mc just to enable more
testing.

This patch provides a means to specify section-names for global variables,
functions and static variables, using #pragma directives.
This feature is only defined to work sensibly for ELF targets.
One can specify section names as:
#pragma clang section bss="myBSS" data="myData" rodata="myRodata" text="myText"
One can "unspecify" a section name with empty string e.g.
#pragma clang section bss="" data="" text="" rodata=""

This patch adds support for some new relocation models to the ARM
backend:
* Read-only position independence (ROPI): Code and read-only data is accessed
PC-relative. The offsets between all code and RO data sections are known at
static link time. This does not affect read-write data.
* Read-write position independence (RWPI): Read-write data is accessed relative
to the static base register (r9). The offsets between all writeable data
sections are known at static link time. This does not affect read-only data.
These two modes are independent (they specify how different objects
should be addressed), so they can be used individually or together. They
are otherwise the same as the "static" relocation model, and are not
compatible with SysV-style PIC using a global offset table.
These modes are normally used by bare-metal systems or systems with
small real-time operating systems. They are designed to avoid the need
for a dynamic linker, the only initialisation required is setting r9 to
an appropriate value for RWPI code.
I have only added support to SelectionDAG, not FastISel, because
FastISel is currently disabled for bare-metal targets where these modes
would be used.

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.

MC only needs to know if the output is PIC or not. It never has to
decide about creating GOTs and PLTs for example. The only thing that
MC itself uses this information for is expanding "macros" in sparc and
mips. The rest I am pretty sure could be moved to CodeGen.
This is a cleanup and isolates the code from future changes to
Reloc::Model.

COFF doesn't have sections with mergeable contents. Instead, each
constant pool entry ends up in a COMDAT section. The linker, when
choosing between COMDAT sections, doesn't choose the max alignment of
the two sections. You just get whatever alignment was on the section.
If one constant needed a higher alignment in one object file from
another one, then we will get into trouble if the linker chooses the
lower alignment one.
Instead, lets promote the alignment of the constant pool entry to make
sure we don't use an under aligned constant with an instruction which
assumed otherwise.
This fixes PR26680.

If a section is rw, it is irrelevant if the dynamic linker will write to
it or not.
It looks like llvm implemented this because gcc was doing it. It looks
like gcc implemented this in the hope that it would put all the
relocated items close together and speed up the dynamic linker.
There are two problem with this:
* It doesn't work. Both bfd and gold will map .data.rel to .data and
concatenate the input sections in the order they are seen.
* If we want a feature like that, it can be implemented directly in the
linker since it knowns where the dynamic relocations are.
llvm-svn: 253436
The way prelink used to work was
* The compiler decides if a given section only has relocations that
are know to point to the same DSO. If so, it names it
.data.rel.ro.local<something>.
* The static linker puts all of these together.
* The prelinker program assigns addresses to each library and resolves
the local relocations.
There are many problems with this:
* It is incompatible with address space randomization.
* The information passed by the compiler is redundant. The linker
knows if a given relocation is in the same DSO or not. If could sort
by that if so desired.
* There are newer ways of speeding up DSO (gnu hash for example).
* Even if we want to implement this again in the compiler, the previous
implementation is pretty broken. It talks about relocations that are
"resolved by the static linker". If they are resolved, there are none
left for the prelinker. What one needs to track is if an expression
will require only dynamic relocations that point to the same DSO.
At this point it looks like the prelinker is an historical curiosity.
For example, fedora has retired it because it failed to build for two
releases
(http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/prelink.git/commit/?id=eb43100a8331d91c801ee3dcdb0a0bb9babfdc1f)

A profile of an LTO link of Chrome revealed that we were spending some
~30-50% of execution time in the function Constant::getRelocationInfo(),
which is called from TargetLoweringObjectFile::getKindForGlobal() and in turn
from TargetMachine::getNameWithPrefix().
It turns out that we only need the result of getKindForGlobal() when
targeting Mach-O, so this change moves the relevant part of the logic to
TargetLoweringObjectFileMachO.
