For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

Summary:
Before this change, we only emit the XRay attributes in LLVM IR when the
-fxray-instrument flag is provided. This may cause issues with thinlto
when the final binary is being built/linked with -fxray-instrument, and
the constitutent LLVM IR gets re-lowered with xray instrumentation.
With this change, we can honour the "never-instrument "attributes
provided in the source code and preserve those in the IR. This way, even
in thinlto builds, we retain the attributes which say whether functions
should never be XRay instrumented.
This change addresses llvm.org/PR38922.
