Clang driver now injects -u<hook_var> flag in the linker
command line, in which case user function is not needed
any more.

This patch converts the remaining references to literal
strings for names of profile runtime entites (such as
profile runtime hook, runtime hook use function, profile
init method, register function etc).
Also added documentation for all the new interfaces.

This is a clean up patch that defines instr prof section and variable
name prefixes in a common header with access helper functions.
clang FE change will be done as a follow up once this patch is in.

On Linux, the profile runtime can use __start_SECTNAME and __stop_SECTNAME
symbols defined by the linker to locate the start and end location of
a named section (with C name). This eliminates the need for instrumented
binary to call __llvm_profile_register_function during start-up time.

In -fprofile-instr-generate compilation, to remove the redundant profile
variables for the COMDAT functions, these variables are placed in the same
COMDAT group as its associated function. This way when the COMDAT function
is not picked by the linker, those profile variables will also not be
output in the final binary. This may cause warning when mix link objects
built w and wo -fprofile-instr-generate.
This patch puts the profile variables for COMDAT functions to its own COMDAT
group to avoid the problem.

This fixes a bit I forgot in r238335. In addition to the data record and
the counter, we can also move the name of the counter to the comdat for
the associated function.
I'm also adding an IR test case to check that these three elements are
placed in the proper comdat.

Counter symbols created for linkonce functions are not discarded by ELF
linkers unless the symbols are placed in the same comdat section as its
associated function.

This change is the second of 3 patches to add support for specifying
the profile output from the command line via -fprofile-instr-generate=<path>,
where the specified output path/file will be overridden by the
LLVM_PROFILE_FILE environment variable.
This patch adds the necessary support to the llvm instrumenter, specifically
a new member of GCOVOptions for clang to save the specified filename, and
support for calling the new compiler-rt interface from __llvm_profile_init.
Patch by Teresa Johnson. Thanks!

This symbol exists only to pull in the required pieces of the runtime,
so nothing ever needs to refer to it. Making it hidden avoids the
potential for issues with duplicate symbols when linking profiled
libraries together.

Add handling for __llvm_coverage_mapping to the InstrProfiling
pass. We need to make sure the constant and any profile names it
refers to are in the correct sections, which is easier and cleaner to
do here where we have to know about profiling sections anyway.
This is really tricky to test without a frontend, so I'm committing
the test for the fix in clang. If anyone knows a good way to test this
within LLVM, please let me know.
Fixes PR22531.

Introduce the ``llvm.instrprof_increment`` intrinsic and the
``-instrprof`` pass. These provide the infrastructure for writing
counters for profiling, as in clang's ``-fprofile-instr-generate``.
The implementation of the instrprof pass is ported directly out of the
CodeGenPGO classes in clang, and with the followup in clang that rips
that code out to use these new intrinsics this ends up being NFC.
Doing the instrumentation this way opens some doors in terms of
improving the counter performance. For example, this will make it
simple to experiment with alternate lowering strategies, and allows us
to try handling profiling specially in some optimizations if we want
to.
Finally, this drastically simplifies the frontend and puts all of the
lowering logic in one place.
