Symbols are no longer required to be named, but this leads to a crash here if an
unnamed symbol checks that its first character is '$'.
Change the code to first check for a name, then check its first character.
No test case i'm afraid as this is debugging code, but any test case with temp labels
and 'llc --debug --filetype=obj' would have crashed.

Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.

The first several times this was committed (e.g. r229831, r233055), it caused several buildbot failures.

This commit uses DW_EH_PE_sdata8 for N64 as far as is possible at the moment.

Normally an ELF .o has two string tables, one for symbols, one for section
names.
With the scheme of naming sections like ".text.foo" where foo is a symbol,
there is a big potential saving in using a single one.
Building llvm+clang+lld with master and with this patch the results were:
master: 193,267,008 bytes
patch: 186,107,952 bytes
master non unique section names: 183,260,192 bytes
patch non unique section names: 183,118,632 bytes

Shave a pointer off of `MCSymbolName` by storing `StringMapEntry<bool>*`

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Create a low-overhead path for `EmitLabelDifference()` that emits a
emits an absolute number when (1) the output is an object stream and (2)
the two symbols are in the same data fragment.
This drops memory usage on Mach-O from 975 MB down to 919 MB (5.8%).
The only call is when `!doesDwarfUseRelocationsAcrossSections()` --
i.e., on Mach-O -- since otherwise an absolute offset from the start of
the section needs a relocation. (`EmitLabelDifference()` is cheaper on
ELF anyway, since it creates 1 fewer temp symbol, and it gets called far
less often. It's not clear to me if this is even a bottleneck there.)

Finally remove the `MCSymbolData::Symbol` pointer. It was still being
used to track whether `MCSymbolData` had been initialized, but this is
better tracked by the bitfield in `MCSymbol`.
The only caller of `MCSymbolData::initialize()` was `MCAssembler`, which
(other than `Symbol`) passed in all-0 values. Replace all that
indirection with a default constructor.
The main point is a cleanup (and there's more cleanup to do), but there
are also some small memory savings. I measured ~989 MB down to ~975 MB,
cutting a little over 1% off the top of `llc`.

This code appends the filename to the directory then looks that up in a StringMap. We should be using the existing Twine::toStringRef method instead of Twine::str() as most times we'll succeed in the lookup.

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.
llvm-svn: 235227
Part of pr23272.
A small annoyance with the assembly syntax we implement is that given an
expression there is no way to know if what is desired is the value of that
expression for the symbols in this file or for the final values of those
symbols in a link.
The first case is useful for use in sections that get discarded or ignored
if the section they are describing is discarded.
For axample, consider A-B where A and B are in the same comdat section.
We can compute the value of the difference in the section that is present in
the current .o and if that section survives to the final DSO the value will
still will be correct.
But the section is in a comdat. Another section from another object file
might be used istead. We know that that section will define A and B, but
we have no idea what the value of A-B might be.
In practice we have to assume that the intention is to compute the value
in the current section since otherwise the is no way to create something like
the debug aranges section.

Fixes PR19582.
Previously, when an asm assignment (.set or =) was created, we would look up
the section immediately in MCSymbol::setVariableValue. This caused symbols
to receive the wrong section if the RHS of the assignment had not been seen
yet. This had a knock-on effect in the object file emitters, causing them
to emit extra symbols, or to give symbols the wrong visibility or the wrong
section. For example, in the following asm:
.data
.Llocal:
.text
leaq .Llocal1(%rip), %rdi
.Llocal1 = .Llocal2
.Llocal2 = .Llocal
the first assignment would give .Llocal1 a null section, which would never get
fixed up by the second assignment. This would cause the ELF object file emitter
to consider .Llocal1 to be an undefined symbol and give it external linkage,
even though .Llocal1 should not have been emitted at all in the object file.
Or in the following asm:
alias_to_local = Ltmp0
Ltmp0:
the Mach-O object file emitter would give the alias_to_local symbol a n_type
of N_SECT and a n_sect of 0. This is invalid under the Mach-O specification,
which requires N_SECT symbols to receive a non-zero section number if the
symbol is defined in a section in the object file.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/MachORuntime/#//apple_ref/c/tag/nlist
After this change we do not look up the section when the assignment is created,
but instead look it up on demand and store it in Section, which is treated
as a cache if the symbol is a variable symbol.
This change also fixes a bug in MCExpr::FindAssociatedSection. Previously,
if we saw a subtraction, we would return the first referenced section, even in
cases where we should have been returning the absolute pseudo-section. Now we
always return the absolute pseudo-section for expressions that subtract two
section-derived expressions. This isn't always correct (e.g. if one of the
sections ends up being laid out at an absolute address), but it's probably
the best we can do without more context.
This allows us to remove code in two places where we appear to have been
working around this bug, in MachObjectWriter::markAbsoluteVariableSymbols
and in X86AsmPrinter::EmitStartOfAsmFile.
