Before llvm-mc would print it, but llc was assuming that it would produce
another section changing directive before one was needed. That assumption is
false with inline asm.
Fixes PR19049.
Another option would be to always create the section, but in the asm printer
avoid printing sections changes during initialization. That would work, but
* We do use the fact that llvm-mc prints it in testing. The tests can be changed
if needed.
* A quick poll on IRC suggest that most developers prefer the implicit .text to
be printed.

This has a few advantages:
* Only targets that use a MCTargetStreamer have to worry about it.
* There is never a MCTargetStreamer without a MCStreamer, so we can use a
reference.
* A MCTargetStreamer can talk to the MCStreamer in its constructor.

These should not use COMDATs. GNU as uses .bss for .lcomm and section 0 for
.comm.
Given
static int a;
int b;
MSVC puts both in .bss. This patch then puts both .comm and .lcomm on .bss. With
this change we agree with gas on .lcomm, are much closer on .comm and clang-cl
matches msvc on the above example.

This is the first step to fix pr17918.
It extends the .section directive a bit, inspired by what the ELF one looks
like. The problem with using linkonce is that given
.section foo
.linkonce....
.section foo
.linkonce
we would already have switched sections when getting to .linkonce. The cleanest
solution seems to be to add the comdat information in the .section itself.

This patch fixes an old FIXME by creating a MCTargetStreamer interface
and moving the target specific functions for ARM, Mips and PPC to it.
The ARM streamer is still declared in a common place because it is
used from lib/CodeGen/ARMException.cpp, but the Mips and PPC are
completely hidden in the corresponding Target directories.
I will send an email to llvmdev with instructions on how to use this.

When MC was first added, targets could use hasRawTextSupport to keep features
working before they were added to the MC interface.
The design goal of MC is to provide an uniform api for printing assembly and
object files. Short of relaxations and other corner cases, a object file is
just another representation of the assembly.
It was never the intention that targets would keep doing things like
if (hasRawTextSupport())
Set flags in one way.
else
Set flags in another way.
When they do that they create two code paths and the object file is no longer
just another representation of the assembly. This also then requires testing
with llc -filetype=obj, which is extremelly brittle.
This patch removes some of these hacks by replacing them with smaller ones.
The ARM flag setting is trivial, so I just moved it to the constructor. For
Mips, the patch adds two temporary hack directives that allow the assembly
to represent the same things as the object file was already able to.
The hope is that the mips developers will replace the hack directives with
the same ones that gas uses and drop the -print-hack-directives flag.
I will also try to implement a target streamer interface, so that we can
move this out of the common code.
In summary, for any new work, two rules of the thumb are
* Don't use "llc -filetype=obj" in tests.
* Don't add calls to hasRawTextSupport.

Currently, when an invalid attribute is encountered on processing a .s file,
clang will abort due to llvm_unreachable. Invalid user input should not cause
an abnormal termination of the compiler. Change the interface to return a
boolean to indicate the failure as a first step towards improving hanlding of
malformed user input to clang.

isa<> and dyn_cast<>. In several places, code is already hacking around
the absence of this, and there seem to be several interfaces that might
be lifted and/or devirtualized using this.
This change was based on a discussion with Jim Grosbach about how best
to handle testing for specific MCStreamer subclasses. He said that this
was the correct end state, and everything else was too hacky so
I decided to just make it so.
No functionality should be changed here, this is just threading the kind
through all the constructors and setting up the classof overloads.

The aim of this patch is to fix the following piece of code in the
platform-independent AsmParser:
void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
Out.SwitchSection(Ctx.getMachOSection(
"__TEXT", "__text",
MCSectionMachO::S_ATTR_PURE_INSTRUCTIONS,
0, SectionKind::getText()));
}
}
This was added for the "-n" option of llvm-mc.
The proposed fix adds another virtual method to MCStreamer, called
InitToTextSection. Conceptually, it's similar to the existing
InitSections which initializes all common sections and switches to
text. The new method is implemented by each platform streamer in a way
that it sees fit. So AsmParser can now do this:
void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
Out.InitToTextSection();
}
}
Which is much more reasonable.

Mips16 is really a processor decoding mode (ala thumb 1) and in the same
program, mips16 and mips32 functions can exist and can call each other.
If a jal type instruction encounters an address with the lower bit set, then
the processor switches to mips16 mode (if it is not already in it). If the
lower bit is not set, then it switches to mips32 mode.
The linker knows which functions are mips16 and which are mips32.
When relocation is performed on code labels, this lower order bit is
set if the code label is a mips16 code label.
In general this works just fine, however when creating exception handling
tables and dwarf, there are cases where you don't want this lower order
bit added in.
This has been traditionally distinguished in gas assembly source by using a
different syntax for the label.
lab1: ; this will cause the lower order bit to be added
lab2=. ; this will not cause the lower order bit to be added
In some cases, it does not matter because in dwarf and debug tables
the difference of two labels is used and in that case the lower order
bits subtract each other out.
To fix this, I have added to mcstreamer the notion of a debuglabel.
The default is for label and debug label to be the same. So calling
EmitLabel and EmitDebugLabel produce the same result.
For various reasons, there is only one set of labels that needs to be
modified for the mips exceptions to work. These are the "$eh_func_beginXXX"
labels.
Mips overrides the debug label suffix from ":" to "=." .
This initial patch fixes exceptions. More changes most likely
will be needed to DwarfCFException to make all of this work
for actual debugging. These changes will be to emit debug labels in some
places where a simple label is emitted now.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

file error checking. Use that to error on an unfinished cfi_startproc.
The error is not nice, but is already better than a segmentation fault.

actuall addresses in a .o file, so it is better to let the MachO writer compute
it.
This is good for two reasons. First, areas that shouldn't care about
addresses now don't have access to it. Second, the layout of each section
is independent. I should use this in a subsequent commit to speed it up.
Most of the patch is just removing the section address computation. The two
interesting parts are the change on how we handle padding in the end
of sections and how MachO can get the address of a-b when a and b are in
different sections.
Since now the expression evaluation normally doesn't know the section address,
it will think that a-b needs relocation and let the MachO writer know. Once
it has computed the section addresses, it calls back the expression evaluation
with the section addresses to resolve these expressions.
The remaining problem is the handling of padding. Currently it will create
a special alignment fragment at the end. Since that fragment doesn't update
the alignment of the section, it needs the real address to be computed.
Since now the layout will not compute a-b with a and b in different sections,
the only effect that the special alignment fragment has is update the
address size of the section. This can also be done by the MachO writer.
