Summary:
LLVMAttribute has outlived its utility and is becoming a problem for C API users that what to use all the LLVM attributes. In order to help moving away from LLVMAttribute in a smooth manner, this diff introduce LLVMGetAttrKindIDInContext, which can be used instead of the enum values.
See D18749 for reference.

At the same time, fixes InstructionsTest::CastInst unittest: yes
you can leave the IR in an invalid state and exit when you don't
destroy the context (like the global one), no longer now.

A draft line added to release notes for PPC, to keep a record of changes.
This is just a draft and will be rewritten towards the end of release.

This will become necessary in a subsequent change to make this method
merge adjacent stack adjustments, i.e. it might erase the previous
and/or next instruction.
It also greatly simplifies the calls to this function from Prolog-
EpilogInserter. Previously, that had a bunch of logic to resume iteration
after the call; now it just continues with the returned iterator.
Note that this changes the behaviour of PEI a little. Previously,
it attempted to re-visit the new instruction created by
eliminateCallFramePseudoInstr(). That code was added in r36625,
but I can't see any reason for it: the new instructions will obviously
not be pseudo instructions, they will not have FrameIndex operands,
and we have already accounted for the stack adjustment.

It resolves clang selfhosting with std::once() for Cygwin.
FIXME: It may be EmulatedTLS-generic also for X86-Android.
FIXME: Pass EmulatedTLS to LLVM CodeGen from Clang with -femulated-tls.

This deprecates:
* LLVMParseBitcode
* LLVMParseBitcodeInContext
* LLVMGetBitcodeModuleInContext
* LLVMGetBitcodeModule
They are replaced with the functions with a 2 suffix which do not record
a diagnostic.
llvm-svn: 256065
Type specific declarations have been moved to Type.h and error handling
routines have been moved to ErrorHandling.h. Both are included in Core.h
so nothing should change for projects directly including the headers,
but transitive dependencies may be affected.

Patch by Ben Gamari!
This redefines the `prefix` attribute introduced previously and
introduces a `prologue` attribute. There are a two primary usecases
that these attributes aim to serve,
1. Function prologue sigils
2. Function hot-patching: Enable the user to insert `nop` operations
at the beginning of the function which can later be safely replaced
with a call to some instrumentation facility
3. Runtime metadata: Allow a compiler to insert data for use by the
runtime during execution. GHC is one example of a compiler that
needs this functionality for its tables-next-to-code functionality.
Previously `prefix` served cases (1) and (2) quite well by allowing the user
to introduce arbitrary data at the entrypoint but before the function
body. Case (3), however, was poorly handled by this approach as it
required that prefix data was valid executable code.
Here we redefine the notion of prefix data to instead be data which
occurs immediately before the function entrypoint (i.e. the symbol
address). Since prefix data now occurs before the function entrypoint,
there is no need for the data to be valid code.
The previous notion of prefix data now goes under the name "prologue
data" to emphasize its duality with the function epilogue.
The intention here is to handle cases (1) and (2) with prologue data and
case (3) with prefix data.

This idea arose out of discussions[1] with Reid Kleckner in response to a
proposal to introduce the notion of symbol offsets to enable handling of
case (3).

This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.
One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.
