The usual way to get a 32-bit relocation is to use a constant extender which doubles the size of the instruction, 4 bytes to 8 bytes.
Another way is to put a .word32 and mix code and data within a function. The disadvantage is it's not a valid instruction encoding and jumping over it causes prefetch stalls inside the hardware.
This relocation packs a 23-bit value in to an "r0 = add(rX, #a)" instruction by overwriting the source register bits. Since r0 is the return value register, if this instruction is placed after a function call which return void, r0 will be filled with an undefined value, the prefetch won't be confused, and the callee can access the constant value by way of the link register.

Once a pointer is turned into a reference it cannot be nullptr, clang
rightfully warns about this assert being a tautology. Put the assert
before the reference is created.

Summary:
This patch is provided in preparation for removing autoconf on 1/26. The proposal to remove autoconf on 1/26 was discussed on the llvm-dev thread here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-January/093875.html

This extends the work done in r233995 so that now getFragment (in addition to
getSection) also works for variable symbols.
With that the existing logic to decide if a-b can be computed works even if
a or b are variables. Given that, the expression evaluation can avoid expanding
variables as aggressively and that in turn lets the relocation code see the
original variable.
In order for this to work with the asm streamer, there is now a dummy fragment
per section. It is used to assign a section to a symbol when no other fragment
exists.
This patch is a joint work by Maxim Ostapenko andy myself.

Summary:
This is the first patch in the series to migrate Triple's (which are ambiguous)
to TargetTuple's (which aren't).
For the moment, TargetTuple simply passes all requests to the Triple object it
holds. Once it has replaced Triple, it will start to implement the interface in
a more suitable way.
This change makes some changes to the public C++ API. In particular,
InitMCSubtargetInfo(), createMCRelocationInfo(), and createMCSymbolizer()
now take TargetTuples instead of Triples. The other public C++ API's have
been left as-is for the moment to reduce patch size.
This commit also contains a trivial patch to clang to account for the C++ API
change. Thanks go to Pavel Labath for fixing LLDB for me.
