Use a dedicated MachO load command to annotate data-in-code regions.
This is the same format the linker produces for final executable images,
allowing consistency of representation and use of introspection tools
for both object and executable files.
Data-in-code regions are annotated via ".data_region"/".end_data_region"
directive pairs, with an optional region type.
data_region_directive := ".data_region" { region_type }
region_type := "jt8" | "jt16" | "jt32" | "jta32"
end_data_region_directive := ".end_data_region"
The previous handling of ARM-style "$d.*" labels was broken and has
been removed. Specifically, it didn't handle ARM vs. Thumb mode when
marking the end of the section.

the MCJIT execution engine.
The GDB JIT debugging integration support works by registering a loaded
object image with a pre-defined function that GDB will monitor if GDB
is attached. GDB integration support is implemented for ELF only at this
time. This integration requires GDB version 7.0 or newer.

and preventing the loading of sections which are not required for
execution such as debug information.

* Add begin_dynamic_table() / end_dynamic_table() private interface to ELFObjectFile.
* Add begin_libraries_needed() / end_libraries_needed() interface to ObjectFile, for grabbing the list of needed libraries for a shared object or dynamic executable.
* Implement this new interface completely for ELF, leave stubs for COFF and MachO.
* Add 'llvm-readobj' tool for dumping ObjectFile information.

Rename ST_External to ST_Unknown, and slightly change its semantics. It now only indicates that the symbol's type
is unknown, not that the symbol is undefined. (For that, use ST_Undefined).

to what's done for MachO and COFF. This allows advanced uses of the class to
be implemented outside the Object library. In particular, the DyldELFObject
subclass is now moved into its logical home - ExecutionEngine/RuntimeDyld.

Don't form an out of bounds pointer just to test if it
would be out of bounds.
Also perform the same bounds checking for all the previous
mapped structures.

in a subclass named DyldELFObject. This class supports rebasing the object file
it represents by re-mapping section addresses to the actual memory addresses
the object was placed in. This is required for MC-JIT implementation on ELF with
debugging support.
Patch reviewed on llvm-commits.
Developed together with Ashok Thirumurthi and Andrew Kaylor.
