The extension has the following syntax:
__builtin_call_with_static_chain(Call, Chain)
where Call must be a function call expression and Chain must be of pointer type
This extension performs a function call Call with a static chain pointer
Chain passed to the callee in a designated register. This is useful for
calling foreign language functions whose ABI uses static chain pointers
(e.g. to implement closures).

Richard rejected my Sema change to interpret an integer literal zero in
a varargs context as a null pointer, so -Wsentinel sees an integer
literal zero and fires off a warning. Only CodeGen currently knows that
it promotes integer literal zeroes in this context to pointer size on
Windows. I didn't want to teach -Wsentinel about that compatibility
hack. Therefore, I'm migrating to C++11 nullptr.

The main subtlety here is that the Darwin tools still need to be given "-arch
arm64" rather than "-arch aarch64". Fortunately this already goes via a custom
function to handle weird edge-cases in other architectures, and it tested.
I removed a few arm64_be tests because that really isn't an interesting thing
to worry about. No-one using big-endian is also referring to the target as
arm64 (at least as far as toolchains go). Mostly they date from when arm64 was
a separate target and we *did* need a parallel name simply to test it at all.
Now aarch64_be is sufficient.

These cases in particular were incurring an extra strlen() when we already knew
the length. They appear to be leftovers from when the interfaces worked with C
strings that have continued to compile due to the implicit StringRef ctor.

LLVM currently has a hack (shouldEmitUsedDirectiveFor) that causes it to not
print no_dead_strip for symbols starting with 'l' or 'L'. These are exactly the
ones that the clang's objc codegen is producing. The net result, is that it is
equivalent to llvm.compiler.used.
The need for putting the private symbol in llvm.compiler.used should be clear
(the objc runtime uses them). The reason for also putting the weak symbols in
it is for LTO: ld64 will not ask us to preserve the it.

This patch changes the remaining GlobalVariables using "\01L" and
"\01l" prefixes to use private linkage. What is strange about them is
that they currently use WeakAnyLinkage. There is no comment stating
why and that is really odd since the symbols are completely hidden, so
it doesn't make sense for them to be weak.
Clang revisions like r63329, r63408, r63770, r65761 set the linkage to
weak, but don't say why. I suspect they were just copying llvm-gcc.
In llvm-gcc I found r58599 and r56322 that set DECL_WEAK, but they
were just syncing from the apple gcc. I am not exactly sure what that
means, since the last commit to
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/apple was in 2006, 2 years earlier.
In summary, I have no idea why weak linkage was being used :-(
To quote John McCall, "Let’s try without it and see" :-)

In llvm the only semantic difference between internal and private is that llvm
tries to hide private globals my mangling them with a private prefix. Since
the globals changed by this patch already had the magic don't mangle marker,
there should be no change in the generated assembly.
A followup patch should then be able to drop the \01L and \01l prefixes and let
llvm mangle as appropriate.

Before this patch the globals were created with the wrong linkage and patched
afterwards. From the comments it looks like something would complain about
having an internal GV with no initializer. At least in clang the verifier will
only run way after we set the initializer, so that is not a problem.
This patch should be a nop. It just figures out the linkage earlier and
converts the old calls to setLinkage to asserts. The only case where that is
not possible is when we first see a weak import that is then implemented. In
that case we have to change the linkage, but that is the only setLinkage left.
