- This patch adds in support to accept the "#" character as part of an Identifier.
- This support is needed especially for the HLASM dialect since "#" is treated as part of the valid "Alphabet" range
- The way this is done is by making use of the previous precedent set by the `AllowAtInIdentifier` field in `MCAsmLexer.h`. A new field called `AllowHashInIdentifier` is introduced.
- The static function `IsIdentifierChar` is also updated to accept the `#` character if the `AllowHashInIdentifier` field is set to true.
Note: The field introduced in `MCAsmLexer.h` could very well be moved to `MCAsmInfo.h`. I'm not opposed to it. I decided to put it in `MCAsmLexer` since there seems to be some sort of precedent already with `AllowAtInIdentifier`.

- https://reviews.llvm.org/rGb605cfb336989705f391d255b7628062d3dfe9c3 was reverted due to sanitizer bugs in the introduced unit-test (specifically in the Address sanitizer https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/5/builds/5697)
- This patch attempts to rectify that, as well as re-factor parts of the test
- The issue was previously, within the `setupCallToAsmParser` function in the unit-test, `SrcMgr` was declared as a local variable. `SrcMgr` owns a unique pointer. Since the variable goes out of scope at the end of the function, the unique pointer is released.
- This patch, moves the declaration of the `SrcMgr` variable to a class field, since the scope will remain until the class's destructor is invoked (which in this case is at the end of the unit test)
- Furthermore, this patch also moves the `MCContext Ctx` declaration from a local variable instance inside a function, to a unique pointer class field. This ensures the instantiation of the MCContext remains until the tear down of the test.

This commit adds a full WasmTableType to MCSymbolWasm, differing from

following syntax variations:

Depends on D99186.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D99191
This patch renames the "Initial" member of WasmLimits to the name used
in the spec, "Minimum".
In the core WebAssembly specification, the Limits data type has one
required "min" member and one optional "max" member, indicating the
minimum required size of the corresponding table or memory, and the
maximum size, if any.
Although the WebAssembly spec does instantiate locally-defined tables
and memories with the initial size being equal to the minimum size, it
can't impose such a requirement for imports. It doesn't make sense to
require an initial size for a memory import, for example. The compiler
can only sensibly express the minimum and maximum sizes.
See
https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-types/blob/master/proposals/js-types/Overview.md#naming-of-size-limits
for a related discussion that agrees that the right name of "initial" is
"minimum" when querying the type of a table or memory from JavaScript.
(Of course it still makes sense for JS to speak in terms of an initial
size when it explicitly instantiates memories and tables.)

In the future Windows will enable Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET aka shadow stacks). To protect the path where the context is updated during exception handling, the binary is required to enumerate valid unwind entrypoints in a dedicated section which is validated when the context is being set during exception handling.
This change allows llvm to generate the section that contains the appropriate symbol references in the form expected by the msvc linker.
This feature is enabled through a new module flag, ehcontguard, which was modelled on the cfguard flag.
The change includes a test that when the module flag is enabled the section is correctly generated.
The set of exception continuation information includes returns from exceptional control flow (catchret in llvm).
In order to collect catchret we:
1) Includes an additional flag on machine basic blocks to indicate that the given block is the target of a catchret operation,
2) Introduces a new machine function pass to insert and collect symbols at the start of each block, and
3) Combines these targets with the other EHCont targets that were already being collected.

Without `-dwarf-version`, llvm-mc uses the default `MCContext::DwarfVersion` 4.
Without `-gdwarf-N`, Clang cc1as uses `clang::driver::ToolChain::GetDefaultDwarfVersion`
which is 4 on many toolchains. Note: `clang -c` can synthesize .debug_info without -g.
There is currently a MCParser warning upon `.file 0` and MCParser errors upon
`.loc 0` if the DWARF version is less than 5. This causes friction to the
following usage:
```
clang -S -g -gdwarf-5 a.c
// MC warning due to .file 0, MC error due to .loc 0
clang -c a.s
llvm-mc -filetype=obj a.s
```
My idea is that we can just upgrade `MCContext::DwarfVersion` to 5 upon
`.file 0` to make the above commands work.
The downside is that for an explicit version `clang -c -gdwarf-4 a.s`, it can be
argued that the new behavior drops the probably intended diagnostic. I think the
downside is small because in most cases DWARF version for an assembly action
should either match the original compile action or be omitted.

For wasm-ld table linking work to proceed, object files should indicate
if they use an indirect function table. In the future this will be done
by the usual symbols and relocations mechanism, but until that support
lands in the linker, the presence of an `__indirect_function_table` in
the object file's import section shows that the object file needs an
indirect function table.
Prior to https://reviews.llvm.org/D91637, this condition was met by all
object files residualizing an `__indirect_function_table` import.
Since https://reviews.llvm.org/D91637, the intention has been that only
those object files needing an indirect function table would have the
`__indirect_function_table` import. However, we missed the case of
object files which use the table via `call_indirect` but which
themselves do not declare any indirect functions.
This changeset makes it so that when we lower a call to `call_indirect`,
that we ensure that a `__indirect_function_table` symbol is present and
that it will be propagated to the linker.
A followup patch will revise this mechanism to make an explicit link
between `call_indirect` and its associated indirect function table; see

PLEASE submit a bug report to ...

```
`LLVMTargetMachine::addPassesToEmitFile` constructs `MachineModuleInfoWrapperPass`
which creates a MCContext without SourceMgr. `MCContext::reportError` calls
`report_fatal_error` which gets captured by Clang `LLVMErrorHandler` and gets translated
to the output above.
Since `MCContext::reportError` errors indicate user errors, such a crashing style error
is inappropriate. So this patch changes `report_fatal_error` to `SourceMgr().PrintMessage`.
```
% clang -c -fcommon c.c

Ideally we should at least recover the original filename (the line information

This change implements pseudo probe encoding and emission for CSSPGO. Please see RFC here for more context: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s
Pseudo probes are in the form of intrinsic calls on IR/MIR but they do not turn into any machine instructions. Instead they are emitted into the binary as a piece of data in standalone sections. The probe-specific sections are not needed to be loaded into memory at execution time, thus they do not incur a runtime overhead.
**ELF object emission**
The binary data to emit are organized as two ELF sections, i.e, the `.pseudo_probe_desc` section and the `.pseudo_probe` section. The `.pseudo_probe_desc` section stores a function descriptor for each function and the `.pseudo_probe` section stores the actual probes, each fo which corresponds to an IR basic block or an IR function callsite. A function descriptor is stored as a module-level metadata during the compilation and is serialized into the object file during object emission.
Both the probe descriptors and pseudo probes can be emitted into a separate ELF section per function to leverage the linker for deduplication. A `.pseudo_probe` section shares the same COMDAT group with the function code so that when the function is dead, the probes are dead and disposed too. On the contrary, a `.pseudo_probe_desc` section has its own COMDAT group. This is because even if a function is dead, its probes may be inlined into other functions and its descriptor is still needed by the profile generation tool.
The format of `.pseudo_probe_desc` section looks like:
```
.section .pseudo_probe_desc,"",@progbits
.quad 6309742469962978389 // Func GUID
.quad 4294967295 // Func Hash
.byte 9 // Length of func name

```
For each `.pseudoprobe` section, the encoded binary data consists of a single function record corresponding to an outlined function (i.e, a function with a code entry in the `.text` section). A function record has the following format :
```
FUNCTION BODY (one for each outlined function present in the text section)
GUID (uint64)

Number of probes originating from this function.
NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS (ULEB128)

```
To support building a context-sensitive profile, probes from inlinees are grouped by their inline contexts. An inline context is logically a call path through which a callee function lands in a caller function. The probe emitter builds an inline tree based on the debug metadata for each outlined function in the form of a trie tree. A tree root is the outlined function. Each tree edge stands for a callsite where inlining happens. Pseudo probes originating from an inlinee function are stored in a tree node and the tree path starting from the root all the way down to the tree node is the inline context of the probes. The emission happens on the whole tree top-down recursively. Probes of a tree node will be emitted altogether with their direct parent edge. Since a pseudo probe corresponds to a real code address, for size savings, the address is encoded as a delta from the previous probe except for the first probe. Variant-sized integer encoding, aka LEB128, is used for address delta and probe index.
**Assembling**
Pseudo probes can be printed as assembly directives alternatively. This allows for good assembly code readability and also provides a view of how optimizations and pseudo probes affect each other, especially helpful for diff time assembly analysis.
A pseudo probe directive has the following operands in order: function GUID, probe index, probe type, probe attributes and inline context. The directive is generated by the compiler and can be parsed by the assembler to form an encoded `.pseudoprobe` section in the object file.
A example assembly looks like:
```

# %bb.0: # %bb0

This change implements pseudo probe encoding and emission for CSSPGO. Please see RFC here for more context: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s
Pseudo probes are in the form of intrinsic calls on IR/MIR but they do not turn into any machine instructions. Instead they are emitted into the binary as a piece of data in standalone sections. The probe-specific sections are not needed to be loaded into memory at execution time, thus they do not incur a runtime overhead.
**ELF object emission**
The binary data to emit are organized as two ELF sections, i.e, the `.pseudo_probe_desc` section and the `.pseudo_probe` section. The `.pseudo_probe_desc` section stores a function descriptor for each function and the `.pseudo_probe` section stores the actual probes, each fo which corresponds to an IR basic block or an IR function callsite. A function descriptor is stored as a module-level metadata during the compilation and is serialized into the object file during object emission.
Both the probe descriptors and pseudo probes can be emitted into a separate ELF section per function to leverage the linker for deduplication. A `.pseudo_probe` section shares the same COMDAT group with the function code so that when the function is dead, the probes are dead and disposed too. On the contrary, a `.pseudo_probe_desc` section has its own COMDAT group. This is because even if a function is dead, its probes may be inlined into other functions and its descriptor is still needed by the profile generation tool.
The format of `.pseudo_probe_desc` section looks like:
```
.section .pseudo_probe_desc,"",@progbits
.quad 6309742469962978389 // Func GUID
.quad 4294967295 // Func Hash
.byte 9 // Length of func name

```
For each `.pseudoprobe` section, the encoded binary data consists of a single function record corresponding to an outlined function (i.e, a function with a code entry in the `.text` section). A function record has the following format :
```
FUNCTION BODY (one for each outlined function present in the text section)
GUID (uint64)
GUID of the function
NPROBES (ULEB128)
Number of probes originating from this function.
NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS (ULEB128)
Number of callees inlined into this function, aka number of
first-level inlinees
PROBE RECORDS

callees. Each record contains:
INLINE SITE
GUID of the inlinee (uint64)

```

There is an explicit option for the lexer to support this, but we crash
when `-preserve-comments` is enabled because it checks for
`getTok().getString().empty()` to detect the case. This doesn't
work currently because the lexer reports this case as a string of length
1, containing a null byte.
Change the lexer to instead report this case via an empty string, as the
null terminator isn't logically a part of the textual input, and the
check for `.empty()` seems natural and obvious in the calling code.

(1994) introduced this behavior:
if a fixup symbol is equated to an expression with an undefined symbol, convert
the fixup to be against the target symbol. glibc relies on this behavior to perform
assembly level indirection
```
asm("memcpy = __GI_memcpy"); // from sysdeps/generic/symbol-hacks.h
...
// call memcpy@PLT
// The relocation references __GI_memcpy in GNU as, but memcpy in MC (without the patch)
memcpy (...);
```
(1) It complements `extern __typeof(memcpy) memcpy asm("__GI_memcpy");` The frontend asm label does not redirect synthesized memcpy in the middle-end. (See D88712 for details)
(2) `asm("memcpy = __GI_memcpy");` is in every translation unit, but the memcpy declaration may not be visible in the translation unit where memcpy is synthesized.
MC already redirects `memcpy = __GI_memcpy; call memcpy` but not `memcpy = __GI_memcpy; call memcpy@plt`.
This patch fixes the latter by allowing MCExpr::evaluateAsRelocatableImpl to
evaluate a non-VK_None MCSymbolRefExpr, which is only done after the layout is available.
GNU as allows `memcpy = __GI_memcpy+1; call memcpy@PLT` which seems nonsensical, so we don't allow it.
`MC/PowerPC/pr38945.s` `NUMBER = 0x6ffffff9; cmpwi 8,NUMBER@l` requires the
`symbol@l` form in AsmMatcher, so evaluation needs to be deferred. This is the
place whether future simplification may be possible.
Note, if we suppress the VM_None evaluation when MCAsmLayout is nullptr, we may
lose the `invalid reassignment of non-absolute variable` diagnostic
(`ARM/thumb_set-diagnostics.s` and `MC/AsmParser/variables-invalid.s`).
We know that this diagnostic is troublesome in some cases
(https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1008), so we can consider
making simplification in the future.

Test plan: make check-all

This patch adds support for creating Guard Address-Taken IAT Entry Tables (.giats$y sections) in object files, matching the behavior of MSVC. These contain lists of address-taken imported functions, which are used by the linker to create the final GIATS table.
Additionally, if any DLLs are delay-loaded, the linker must look through the .giats tables and add the respective load thunks of address-taken imports to the GFIDS table, as these are also valid call targets.

Adds more testing in basic-assembly.s and a new test tables.s.
Adds support to yaml reading and writing of tables as well.

This patch lets the bb_addr_map (renamed to __llvm_bb_addr_map) section use a special section type (SHT_LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP) instead of SHT_PROGBITS. This would help parsers, dumpers and other tools to use the sh_type ELF field to identify this section rather than relying on string comparison on the section name.
