Summary:
The accelerator tables use the debug_str section to store their strings.
However, they do not support the indirect method of access that is
available for the debug_info section (DW_FORM_strx et al.).
Currently our code is assuming that all strings can/will be referenced
indirectly, and puts all of them into the debug_str_offsets section.
This is generally true for regular (unsplit) dwarf, but in the DWO case,
most of the strings in the debug_str section will only be used from the
accelerator tables. Therefore the contents of the debug_str_offsets
section will be largely unused and bloating the main executable.
This patch rectifies this by teaching the DwarfStringPool to
differentiate between strings accessed directly and indirectly. When a
user inserts a string into the pool it has to declare whether that
string will be referenced directly or not. If at least one user requsts
indirect access, that string will be assigned an index ID and put into
debug_str_offsets table. Otherwise, the offset table is skipped.
This approach reduces the overall binary size (when compiled with
-gdwarf-5 -gsplit-dwarf) in my tests by about 2% (debug_str_offsets is
shrunk by 99%).

Previous version of this patch failed on darwin targets because of
different handling of cross-debug-section relocations. This fixes the
tests to emit the DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute correctly in both
cases. Since doing this is a non-trivial amount of code, and I'm going
to need it in more than one test, I've added a helper function to the
dwarfgen DIE class to do it.
Original commit message follows:
The motivation for this is D49493, where we'd like to test details of
debug_str_offsets behavior which is difficult to trigger from a
traditional test.
This adds the plubming necessary for dwarfgen to generate this section.
The more interesting changes are:
- I've moved emitStringOffsetsTableHeader function from DwarfFile to
DwarfStringPool, so I can generate the section header more easily from
the unit test.
- added a new addAttribute overload taking an MCExpr*. This is used to
generate the DW_AT_str_offsets_base, which links a compile unit to the
offset table.
I've also added a basic test for reading and writing DW_form_strx forms.

This recommits r337910 after fixing an "ambiguous call to addAttribute"
error with some compilers (gcc circa 4.9 and MSVC). It seems that these
compilers will consider a "false -> pointer" conversion during overload
resolution. This creates ambiguity because one I added an overload which
takes a MCExpr * as an argument.
I fix this by making the new overload take MCExpr&, which avoids the
conversion. It also documents the fact that we expect a valid MCExpr
object.

This reverts commit r337910 as it's generating "ambiguous call to
addAttribute" errors on some bots.
Will resubmit once I get a chance to look into the problem.

Summary: This is the producer side for DWARF v5 string offsets tables. The reader/consumer
side was committed with r321295. All compile and type units in a module share a
contribution to the string offsets table. Indirect strings use the strx{1,2,3,4} index forms.

Stop creating symbols we don't need in `DwarfStringPool`. The consumers
only call `DwarfStringPoolEntryRef::getSymbol()` when DWARF is
relocatable, so this just stops creating the unused symbols when it's
not. This drops memory usage from 851 MB to 845 MB, around 0.7%.
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;
see r236629 for details.)
llvm-svn: 238122
Extract out `DwarfStringPoolEntry` and `DwarfStringPoolRef` from
`DwarfStringPool` so that downstream users can start using
`DwarfStringPool::getEntry()` directly. This will allow users to delay
the decision between emitting a symbol or an offset until later.
llvm-svn: 238116
Change `DwarfStringPool` to calculate byte offsets on-the-fly, and
update `DwarfUnit::getLocalString()` to use a `DIEInteger` instead of a
`DIEDelta` when Dwarf doesn't use relocations (i.e., Mach-O). This
eliminates another call to `EmitLabelDifference()`, and drops memory
usage from 865 MB down to 861 MB, around 0.5%.
(I'm looking at `llc` memory usage on `verify-uselistorder.lto.opt.bc`;

Move `DwarfStringPool`'s `getEntry()` to the header (and make it a
member function) in preparation for calculating symbol offsets
on-the-fly.

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

utils/sort_includes.py.
I clearly haven't done this in a while, so more changed than usual. This
even uncovered a missing include from the InstrProf library that I've
added. No functionality changed here, just mechanical cleanup of the
include order.

And since it /looked/ like the DwarfStrSectionSym was unused, I tried
removing it - but then it turned out that DwarfStringPool was
reconstructing the same label (and expecting it to have already been
emitted) and uses that.
So I kept it around, but wanted to pass it in to users - since it seemed
a bit silly for DwarfStringPool to have it passed in and returned but
itself have no use for it. The only two users don't handle strings in
both .dwo and .o files so they only ever need the one symbol - no need
to keep it (and have an unused symbol) in the DwarfStringPool used for
fission/.dwo.
Refactor a bunch of accelerator table usage to remove duplication so I
didn't have to touch 4-5 callers.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

Pulls out some more code from some of the rather monolithic DWARF
classes. Unlike the address table, the string table won't move up into
DwarfDebug - each DWARF file has its own string table (but there can be
only one address table).
