On PowerPC most functions require a valid TOC pointer.
This is the case because either the function itself needs to use this
pointer to access the TOC or because other functions that are called
from that function expect a valid TOC pointer in the register R2.
The main exception to this is leaf functions that do not access the TOC
since they are guaranteed not to need a valid TOC pointer.
This patch introduces a feature that will allow more functions to not
require a valid TOC pointer in R2.

Summary:
For current architect, we always require setContainingCsect to be
called on every MCSymbol got used in XCOFF context.
This is very hard to achieve because symbols gets created everywhere
and other MCSymbol types(ELF, COFF) do not have similar rules.
It's very easy to miss setting the containing csect, and we would
need to add a lot of XCOFF specialized code around some common code area.
This patch intendeds to do
1. Rely on getFragment().getParent() to get csect from labels.
2. Only use get/setRepresentedCsect (was get/setContainingCsect)
if symbol itself represents a csect.

Summary:
We create a number of standard types of control sections in multiple places for
things like the function descriptors, external references and the TOC anchor
among others, so it is possible for their properties to be defined
inconsistently in different places. This refactor moves their creation and
properties into functions in the TargetLoweringObjectFile class hierarchy, where
functions for retrieving various special types of sections typically seem
to reside.
Note: There is one case in PPCISelLowering which is specific to function entry
points which we don't address since we don't have access to the TLOF there.

Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.
A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.
This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%. This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so
One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.
Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l

Fix a conditional that guarded code for execution only on 32-bit ELF by
checking that the Subtarget was not 64-bit and not-Darwin. By adding a new
target ABI (AIX), the condition is no longer correct. This code is dead for
AIX, due to a 'report_fatal_error' for thread local storage usage earlier in the
pipeline, but needs to be modifed as part of Darwins removal from the
PowerPC backend.

however, there may be no such label in the case where the function is
undefined. Although the label exists when the function is defined, we
will (to be consistent) also use a csect reference in that case.

Recommit after making the same API change in non-x86 targets. This has been build for all targets, and tested for effected ones. Why the difference? Because my disk filled up when I tried make check for all.
For auto-padding assembler support, we'll need to bundle the label with the instructions (nops or call sequences) so that they don't get separated. This just rearranges the code to make the upcoming change more obvious.
Summary:
If a function is defined after it appears in a TOC expression, we may
try to access an unset containing csect when returning a symbol for the
expression.

Add TC csects to TOCCsects for object file writing.
Note:
1. I did not include any raw data testing for this object file generation
because TC entries raw data will all be 0 without relocation implemented.
I will add raw data testing as part of relocation testing later.
2. I removed "Symbol->setFragment(F);" for common symbols because we
don't need it, and if we have it then we would hit assertions below:
Assertion `(SymbolContents == SymContentsUnset ||
SymbolContents == SymContentsOffset) &&
"Cannot get offset for a common/variable symbol"' failed.
3.Fixed incorrect TOC-base alignment.

Also make sure external globals have a csect set and handle external function descriptor (originally authored by Jason Liu) so we can emit TOC entries for them.

of getDarwinDirective() with getCPUDirective().
Once this patch lands and downstream users of the getDarwinDirective() method
have switched to the getCPUDirective() method, the old getDarwinDirective()
method will be removed.

For XCOFF, globals mapped into the .bss section are linked as COMMON
definitions. This behaviour is incorrect for zero initialized data, so
emit those to the .data section instead.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D69528
Summary:
We are using symbols to represent label and csect interchangeably before, and that could be a problem.
There are cases we would need to add storage mapping class to the symbol if that symbol is actually the name of a csect, but it's hard for us to figure out whether that symbol is a label or csect.
This patch intend to do the following:
1. Construct a QualName (A name include the storage mapping class)
MCSymbolXCOFF for every MCSectionXCOFF.
2. Keep a pointer to that QualName inside of MCSectionXCOFF.
3. Use that QualName whenever we need a symbol refers to that
MCSectionXCOFF.
4. Adapt the snowball effect from the above changes in
XCOFFObjectWriter.cpp.
