Charles Davis 22fe18625d Add a new 'hotpatch' attribute. This attribute will insert a two-byte no-op
instruction at the beginning of each function that has the attribute, allowing
the function to be easily hooked and/or patched.

Bill Wendling 578ee4070c Create the new linker type "linker_private_weak_def_auto".
It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility.  The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).

Dan Gohman 093cb79d4b Disallow null as a named metadata operand.
Make MDNode::destroy private.
Fix the one thing that used MDNode::destroy, outside of MDNode itself.

One should never delete or destroy an MDNode explicitly. MDNodes
implicitly go away when there are no references to them (implementation
details aside).

Dan Gohman df12d08b8e Reword the definition of the noalias attribute. The intention is for
the noalias argument on function attributes be usable to model the
C99 restrict keyword on arguments, and to allow AliasAnalysis to
consider a noalias-attributed argument to be an "identified object".

To support this, refactor a new "based on" concept out of the current
pointer aliasing "associated" concept. This "based on" concept is very
similar to (though it is not identical with) the "based on" concept
in C99.

Also, reword the definition of NoAlias to more closely describe the
concept that the optimizer uses.

Bill Wendling 03bcd6ecc8 Implement the "linker_private_weak" linkage type. This will be used for
Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.

For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:

      .globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
      .weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
      .section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
      .align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
       .quad   _objc_msgSend_fixup
       .quad   L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1

This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".

Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

mike-m e08af303a6 Overhauled llvm/clang docs builds. Closes PR6613.
NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow.

*** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED

- clang api docs fail build from objdir
- clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/
- clang/llvm main docs collide in install
- clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination
  assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files;
  namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination
  for cross references and some html cross references assume
  website root paths

*** IMPROVEMENTS

- bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3
- splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees
- provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs
- support buid vs. install vs. website intentions
- support objdir builds
- document targets with 'make help'
- correct clean and uninstall operations
- use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary
- added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf';
  if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts
  to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose
  error will be printed and make will error-stop.

of dependence and define trap values in terms of dependence, instead

rigorous than the description it replaces.
