There are cases of AVX-512 instructions that have two possible encodings. This is the case with instructions that use vector registers with low indexes of 0 - 15 and do not use the zmm registers or the mask k registers.
The EVEX encoding prefix requires 4 bytes whereas the VEX prefix can take only up to 3 bytes. Consequently, using the VEX encoding for these instructions results in a code size reduction of ~2 bytes even though it is compiled with the AVX-512 features enabled.

One more attempt to re-commit the patch r285355, which I had to revert in r285362, because some tests were failing (the reason is because the size of the line_table varied depending on the full file name).
In the past the compiler always emitted .debug_line version 2, though some opcodes from DWARF 3 (e.g. DW_LNS_set_prologue_end, DW_LNS_set_epilogue_begin or DW_LNS_set_isa) and from DWARF 4 could be emitted by the compiler.
This patch changes version information of .debug_line to exactly match the DWARF version. For .debug_line version 4, a new field maximum_operations_per_instruction is emitted.

Specifically avoid implicit conversions from/to integral types to
avoid potential errors when changing the underlying type. For example,
a typical initialization of a "full" mask was "LaneMask = ~0u", which
would result in a value of 0x00000000FFFFFFFF if the type was extended
to uint64_t.

Summary:
GAS already allows flags for sections to be specified directly as a
numeric value. This functionality is particularly useful for setting
processor or application-specific values that may not be directly
supported or understood by LLVM. This patch allows LLVM to use numeric
section flag values verbatim if specified by the assembly file.

This implements execute-only support for ARM code generation, which
prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections.
The following changes are involved:
* Add the CodeGen option "-arm-execute-only" to the ARM code generator.
* Add the clang flag "-mexecute-only" as well as the GCC-compatible
alias "-mpure-code" to enable this option.
* When enabled, literal pools are replaced with MOVW/MOVT instructions,
with VMOV used in addition for floating-point literals. As the MOVT
instruction is required, execute-only support is only available in
Thumb mode for targets supporting ARMv8-M baseline or Thumb2.
* Jump tables are placed in data sections when in execute-only mode.
* The execute-only text section is assigned section ID 0, and is
marked as unreadable with the SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag with symbol 'y'.
This also overrides selection of ELF sections for globals.

At least the plugin used by the LibreOffice build
(<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Clang_plugins>) indirectly
uses those members (through inline functions in LLVM/Clang include files in turn
using them), but they are not exported by utils/extract_symbols.py on Windows,
and accessing data across DLL/EXE boundaries on Windows is generally
problematic.

Currently, the error messages we emit for the .org directive when the
expression is not absolute or is out of range do not include the line
number of the directive, so it can be hard to track down the problem if
a file contains many .org directives.
This patch stores the source location in the MCOrgFragment, so that it
can be used for diagnostics emitted during layout.
Since layout is an iterative process, and the errors are detected during
each iteration, it would have been possible for errors to be reported
multiple times. To prevent this, I've made the assembler bail out after
each iteration if any errors have been reported. This will still allow
multiple unrelated errors to be reported in the common case where they
are all detected in the first round of layout.

The relocations for `DIEEntry::EmitValue` were wrong for Win64
(emitting FK_Data_4 instead of FK_SecRel_4). This corrects that
oversight so that the DWARF data is correct in Win64 COFF files.

Move the cast<MCSymbolELF> inside emitELFSize, so that:
- it's done in one place instead of at each call
- it's more consistent with similar functions like EmitCOFFSafeSEH
- ambiguity between cast<> and dyn_cast<> is avoided (which also
eliminates an unnecessary dyn_cast call)
This also makes it easier to experiment with using ".size" directives on
non-ELF targets.

Choosing a "cfi" name makes the intend a bit clearer in an assembly dump
and more importantly the assembly dumps are slightly more stable as the
numbers don't move around anymore when unrelated code calls
createTempSymbol() more or less often.
As they are temp labels the name doesn't influence the generated object
code.

We would attempt to access the symbol section without ensuring that the symbol
was not absolute. When the assembler referenced relocation is not evaluated to
the absolute, but when we record the relocation, we would query the section.
Because the symbol is absolute, it does not have a section associated with it,
triggering an assertion. Just be more careful about the access of the section.

This is an improvement when compiling with llvm. llvm doesn't inline
the call to insert, so the align is always executed and shows up in
the profile.
With gcc the call to insert is inlined and the align computation moved
and done only if needed.
With this patch we explicitly only compute it if it is needed.
In the two tests with debug info, the speedup was

If we don't truncate, LLVM asserts when the label difference doesn't fit
in a 16 bit field. This patch truncates two kinds of data: trailing null
terminated names in symbol records, and inline line tables. The inline
line table test that I have is too large (many MB), so I'm not checking
it in.
Hopefully fixes PR28264.
