Change EmitGlobalVariable to check final assembler section is in BSS
before using .lcomm/.comm directive. This prevents globals from being
put into .bss erroneously when -data-sections is used.
This fixes PR26570.

For historic reasons, the behavior of .align differs between targets.
Fortunately, there are alternatives, .p2align and .balign, which make the
interpretation of the parameter explicit, and which behave consistently across
targets.
This patch teaches MC to use .p2align instead of .align, so that people reading
code for multiple architectures don't have to remember which way each platform
does its .align directive.

Recommit r250342: move coal-sections-powerpc.s to subdirectory for powerpc.
Some background on why we don't have to use *coal* sections anymore:
Long ago when C++ was new and "weak" had not been standardized, an attempt was
made in cctools to support C++ inlines that can be coalesced by putting them
into their own section (TEXT/textcoal_nt instead of TEXT/text).
The current macho linker supports the weak-def bit on any symbol to allow it to
be coalesced, but the compiler still puts weak-def functions/data into alternate
section names, which the linker must map back to the base section name.
This patch makes changes that are necessary to prevent the compiler from using
the "coal" sections and have it use the non-coal sections instead when the
target architecture is not powerpc:
TEXT/textcoal_nt instead use TEXT/text
TEXT/const_coal instead use TEXT/const
DATA/datacoal_nt instead use DATA/data
If the target is powerpc, we continue to use the *coal* sections since anyone
targeting powerpc is probably using an old linker that doesn't have support for
the weak-def bits.
Also, have the assembler issue a warning if it encounters a *coal* section in
the assembly file and inform the users to use the non-coal sections instead.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

If a function is going in an unique section (because of -ffunction-sections
for example), putting a jump table in .rodata will keep .rodata alive and
that will keep alive any other function that also has a jump table.
Instead, put the jump table in a unique section that is associated with the
function.
llvm-svn: 231961
In the case where just tables are part of the function section, this produces
more readable assembly by avoiding switching to the eh section and back
to .text.
This would also break with non unique section names, as trying to switch to
a unique section actually creates a new one.
llvm-svn: 231677
This removes a bit of duplicated code and more importantly, remembers the
labels so that they don't need to be looked up by name.
This in turn allows for any name to be used and avoids a crash if the name
we wanted was already taken.

The problem in the original patch was not switching back to .text after printing
an eh table.
Original message:
On ELF, put PIC jump tables in a non executable section.
Fixes PR22558.

If an EH table is printed in between the function and the jump table we would
fail to switch back to the text section to print the jump table.

'rd' will make a read-write section because 'd' implies write
'dr' will make a read-only section because 'r' disables write

ELF has support for sections that can be split into fixed size or
null terminated entities.
Since these sections can be split by the linker, it is not necessary
to split them in codegen.
This reduces the combined .o size in a llvm+clang build from
202,394,570 to 173,819,098 bytes.
The time for linking clang with gold (on a VM, on a laptop) goes
from 2.250089985 to 1.383001792 seconds.
The flip side is the size of rodata in clang goes from 10,926,785
to 10,929,345 bytes.
The increase seems to be because of http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17902.

On MachO, putting a symbol that doesn't start with a 'L' or 'l' in one of the
__TEXT,__literal* sections prevents the linker from merging the context of the
section.
Since private GVs are the ones the get mangled to start with 'L' or 'l', we now
only put those on the __TEXT,__literal* sections.

This is a pretty straight forward translation for COFF, we just need to
stick the data in a COMDAT section marked as
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES.
N.B. We must be careful to avoid sticking entities with private linkage
in COMDAT groups. COFF is pretty hostile to the renaming of entities so
we must be careful to disallow GlobalVariables with unstable names.

r201608 made llvm corretly handle private globals with MachO. r201622 fixed
a bug in it and r201624 and r201625 were changes for using private linkage,
assuming that llvm would do the right thing.
They all got reverted because r201608 introduced a crash in LTO. This patch
includes a fix for that. The issue was that TargetLoweringObjectFile now has
to be initialized before we can mangle names of private globals. This is
trivially true during the normal codegen pipeline (the asm printer does it),
but LTO has to do it manually.
llvm-svn: 201700
When outputting an object we check its section to find its name, but when
looking for the section with -ffunction-section we look for the symbol name.
Break the loop by requesting a name with the private prefix when constructing
the section name. This matches the behavior before r201608.

Accepting quotes is a property of an assembler, not of an object file. For
example, ELF can support any names for sections and symbols, but the gnu
assembler only accepts quotes in some contexts and llvm-mc in a few more.
LLVM should not produce different symbols based on a guess about which assembler
will be reading the code it is printing.

Original commit message:
Stop emitting weak symbols into the "coal" sections.
The Mach-O linker has been able to support the weak-def bit on any symbol for
quite a while now. The compiler however continued to place these symbols into a
"coal" section, which required the linker to map them back to the base section
name.
Replace the sections like this:
__TEXT/__textcoal_nt instead use __TEXT/__text
__TEXT/__const_coal instead use __TEXT/__const
__DATA/__datacoal_nt instead use __DATA/__data

This patch broke `make check-asan` on Mac, causing ld warnings like the following one:
ld: warning: direct access in __GLOBAL__I_a to global weak symbol
___asan_mapping_scale means the weak symbol cannot be overridden at
runtime. This was likely caused by different translation units being
compiled with different visibility settings.
The resulting test binaries crashed with incorrect ASan warnings.

1) nuke ConstDataCoalSection, which is dead.
2) revise my previous patch for rdar://8018335,
which was completely wrong. Specifically, it doesn't
make sense to mark __TEXT,__const_coal as PURE_INSTRUCTIONS,
because it is for readonly data. templates (it turns out)
go to const_coal_nt. The real fix for rdar://8018335 was
to give ConstTextCoalSection a section kind of ReadOnly
instead of Text.
