If the backend does not define LLVM/DWARF register mappings, the associated

Summary:
They are now lexed as a single token on targets where
MCAsmInfo::HasMipsExpressions is true and then parsed in a similar way to
the '~' operator as part of MCExpr::parseExpression.
As a result:
* expressions and immediates no longer have different parsing rules. The
difference is now solely down to whether evaluateAsAbsolute() succeeds.
* %hi(%neg(%gp_rel(x))) are no longer parsed as a single operator and
decomposed into the three MipsMCExpr nodes. They are parsed directly as
three MipsMCExpr nodes.
* parseMemOperand no longer needs to eat all the surrounding parenthesis
to get at the outermost operator to make this work
* %hi(%neg(%gp_rel(x))) and %lo(%neg(%gp_rel(x))) are no longer the only
3-in-1 relocs that parse for N64. They're still the only combinations that
are permitted in relocatable expressions though. Fixing that should be a
later patch.
* We no longer need to list all the tokens that can occur as the first token of
an expression or immediate.

This change also prevents the incorrect lowering of %lo(2*4)+foo to
%lo(8+foo) which is not an equivalent expression (the difference is
whether foo is truncated to 16-bit or not) and the test has been
updated to account for the macro expansion the correct expression requires.

This option, compatible with gas's -mimplicit-it, controls the
generation/checking of implicit IT blocks in ARM/Thumb assembly.
This option allows two behaviours that were not possible before:
- When in ARM mode, emit a warning when assembling a conditional
instruction that is not in an IT block. This is enabled with
-mimplicit-it=never and -mimplicit-it=thumb.
- When in Thumb mode, automatically generate IT instructions when an
instruction with a condition code appears outside of an IT block. This
is enabled with -mimplicit-it=thumb and -mimplicit-it=always.
The default option is -mimplicit-it=arm, which matches the existing
behaviour (allow conditional ARM instructions outside IT blocks without
warning, and error if a conditional Thumb instruction is outside an IT
block).
The general strategy for generating IT blocks in Thumb mode is to keep a
small list of instructions which should be in the IT block, and only
emit them when we encounter something in the input which means we cannot
continue the block. This could be caused by:
- A non-predicable instruction
- An instruction with a condition not compatible with the IT block
- The IT block already contains 4 instructions
- A branch-like instruction (including ALU instructions with the PC as
the destination), which cannot appear in the middle of an IT block
- A label (branching into an IT block is not legal)
- A change of section, architecture, ISA, etc
- The end of the assembly file.
Some of these, such as change of section and end of file, are parsed
outside of the ARM asm parser, so I've added a new virtual function to
AsmParser to ensure any previously-parsed instructions have been
emitted. The ARM implementation of this flushes the currently pending IT
block.
We now have to try instruction matching up to 3 times, because we cannot
know if the current IT block is valid before matching, and instruction
matching changes depending on the IT block state (due to the 16-bit ALU
instructions, which set the flags iff not in an IT block). In the common
case of not having an open implicit IT block and the instruction being
matched not needing one, we still only have to run the matcher once.
I've removed the ITState.FirstCond variable, because it does not store
any information that isn't already represented by CurPosition. I've also
updated the comment on CurPosition to accurately describe it's meaning
(which this patch doesn't change).

If there is already debug info in the assembly file, and user hope to
use -g option for compiling, we think we should not directly report an
error.
According to what GNU assembler did, it just reused the debug info in
the assembly file, and turned off the DEBUG_TYPE option so that there
will be no new debug info emitted by assembler. This fix is just as what
GNU assembler did.
The concern is the situation that there are two .text sections in the
assembly file, one with debug info and the other one without. Currently
with this fix, the assembler will no longer generate any debug info for
the second .text section. And this is what GNU assembler exactly did for
this situation. So I think this still make some sense.

Summary:
There seems to have been a misunderstanding as to the meaning of 'offset' in
the rules laid down by our ABI. The previous code believed that 'offset' meant
the offset within the section that the relocation is applied to. However, it
should have meant the offset from the symbol used in the relocation expression.
This patch adds two fields to ELFRelocationEntry and uses them to correct the
order of relocations for MIPS. These fields contain:
* The original symbol before shouldRelocateWithSymbol() is considered. This
ensures that R_MIPS_GOT16 is able to correctly distinguish between local and
external symbols, allowing us to tell whether %got() requires a matching
%lo() or not (local symbols require one, external symbols don't). It also
prevents confusing cases where the fuzzy matching rules cause things like
%hi(foo)/%lo(foo+3) and %hi(bar)/%lo(bar+1) to swap their %lo()'s.
* The original offset before shouldRelocateWithSymbol() is considered. The
existing Addend field is always zero when the object uses in place addends
(because it's already moved it to the encoding) but MIPS needs to use the
original offset to ensure that the linker correctly calculates the carry-in
bit for %hi() and %got().
IAS ensures that unmatchable %hi()/%got() relocations are placed at the end of
the table to ensure that the linker rejects the table (we're unable to report
such errors directly). The alternatives to this risk accidental matching
against inappropriate relocations which may silently compute incorrect values
due to an incorrect carry bit between the %lo() and %hi()/%got().

Summary:
This is much closer to the way MIPS relocation expressions work
(%hi(foo + 2) rather than %hi(foo) + 2) and removes the need for the
various bodges in MipsAsmParser::evaluateRelocExpr().
Removing those bodges ensures that the constant stored in MCValue is the
full 32 or 64-bit (depending on ABI) offset from the symbol. This will be used
to correct the %hi/%lo matching needed to sort the relocation table correctly.
As part of this:
* Gave MCExpr::print() the ability to omit parenthesis when emitting a
symbol reference inside a MipsMCExpr operator like %hi(X). Without this
we print things like %lo(($L1)).
* %hi(%neg(%gprel(X))) is now three MipsMCExpr's instead of one. Most of
the related special cases have been removed or moved to MipsMCExpr. We
can remove the rest as we gain support for the less common relocations
when they are not part of this specific combination.
* Renamed MipsMCExpr::VariantKind and the enum prefix ('VK_') to avoid confusion
with MCSymbolRefExpr::VariantKind and its prefix (also 'VK_').
* fixup_Mips_GOT_Local and fixup_Mips_GOT_Global were found to be identical
and merged into fixup_Mips_GOT.
* MO_GOT16 and MO_GOT turned out to be identical and have been merged into
MO_GOT.
* VK_Mips_GOT and VK_Mips_GOT16 turned out to be the same thing so they

Summary:
This adds a unique ID to the COFF section uniquing map, similar to the
one we have for ELF. The unique id is not currently exposed via the
assembler because we don't have a use case for it yet. Users generally
create .pdata with the .seh_* family of directives, and the assembler
internally needs to produce .pdata and .xdata sections corresponding to
the code section.
The association between .text sections and the assembler-created .xdata
and .pdata sections is maintained as an ID field of MCSectionCOFF. The
CFI-related sections are created with the given unique ID, so if more
code is added to the same text section, we can find and reuse the CFI
sections that were already created.

This patch adds support for the MachO .alt_entry assembly directive, and uses
it for global aliases with non-zero GEP offsets. The alt_entry flag indicates
that a symbol should be layed out immediately after the preceding symbol.
Conceptually it introduces an alternate entry point for a function or data
structure. E.g.:
safe_foo:
// check preconditions for foo
.alt_entry fast_foo
fast_foo:
// body of foo, can assume preconditions.
The .alt_entry flag is also implicitly set on assembly aliases of the form:
a = b + C
where C is a non-zero constant, since these have the same effect as an
alt_entry symbol: they introduce a label that cannot be moved relative to the
preceding one. Setting the alt_entry flag on aliases of this form fixes
