This is motivated by https://reviews.llvm.org/D32488 where I am trying
to add printing of the section type for incompatible sections to LLD
error messages. This patch allows us to use the same code in
llvm-readobj and LLD instead of duplicating the function inside LLD.

Set correct default flags and section type based on its name for .text,
.data, .bss, .init_array, .fini_array, .preinit_array, .tdata, and .tbss
and support section name suffixes for .data.*, .rodata.*, .text.*,
.bss.*, .tdata.* and .tbss.* which matches the behavior of GAS.
Fixes PR31888.

Make MCSectionELF::AssociatedSection be a link to a symbol, because
that's how it works in the assembly, and use it in the asm printer.
llvm-svn: 297769
GAS supports specification of section header's type using a numeric
value [1]. This patch brings the same functionality to LLVM. That allows
to setup some target-specific section types belong to the SHT_LOPROC -
SHT_HIPROC range. If we attempt to print unknown section type, MCSectionELF
class shows an error message. It's better than print sole '@' sign
without any section type name.
In case of MIPS, example of such section's type is SHT_MIPS_DWARF.
Without the patch we will have to implement some workarounds
in probably not-MIPS-specific part of code base to convert SHT_MIPS_DWARF
to the @progbits while printing assembly and to assign SHT_MIPS_DWARF for
@progbits sections named .debug_* if we encounter such section in
an input assembly.

On ELF every section can have a corresponding section symbol. When in
an assembly file we have
.quad .text
the '.text' refers to that symbol.
The way we used to handle them is to leave .text an undefined symbol
until the very end when the object writer would map them to the
actual section symbol.
The problem with that is that anything before the end would see an
undefined symbol. This could result in bad diagnostics
(test/MC/AArch64/label-arithmetic-diags-elf.s), or incorrect results
when using the asm streamer (est/MC/Mips/expansion-jal-sym-pic.s).
Fixing this will also allow using the section symbol earlier for
setting sh_link of SHF_METADATA sections.
This patch includes a few hacks to avoid changing our behaviour when
handling conflicts between section symbols and other symbols. I
reported pr31850 to track that.

One more attempt to re-commit the patch r285355, which I had to revert in r285362, because some tests were failing (the reason is because the size of the line_table varied depending on the full file name).
In the past the compiler always emitted .debug_line version 2, though some opcodes from DWARF 3 (e.g. DW_LNS_set_prologue_end, DW_LNS_set_epilogue_begin or DW_LNS_set_isa) and from DWARF 4 could be emitted by the compiler.
This patch changes version information of .debug_line to exactly match the DWARF version. For .debug_line version 4, a new field maximum_operations_per_instruction is emitted.

Summary:
GAS already allows flags for sections to be specified directly as a
numeric value. This functionality is particularly useful for setting
processor or application-specific values that may not be directly
supported or understood by LLVM. This patch allows LLVM to use numeric
section flag values verbatim if specified by the assembly file.

This implements execute-only support for ARM code generation, which
prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections.
The following changes are involved:
* Add the CodeGen option "-arm-execute-only" to the ARM code generator.
* Add the clang flag "-mexecute-only" as well as the GCC-compatible
alias "-mpure-code" to enable this option.
* When enabled, literal pools are replaced with MOVW/MOVT instructions,
with VMOV used in addition for floating-point literals. As the MOVT
instruction is required, execute-only support is only available in
Thumb mode for targets supporting ARMv8-M baseline or Thumb2.
* Jump tables are placed in data sections when in execute-only mode.
* The execute-only text section is assigned section ID 0, and is
marked as unreadable with the SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag with symbol 'y'.
This also overrides selection of ELF sections for globals.

It was: "Recommit 270977 - [llvm-mc] - Teach llvm-mc to generate zlib styled compression sections."
Fix:
since test requires no zlib available and r270987 changed the
compression flag for llvm-mc to mandatory specify the compression style,
then just add 2 available styles to this test.
llvm-svn: 270992
Fix: updated clang code which was not updated by mistake.
Original commit message:
[llvm-mc] - Teach llvm-mc to generate zlib styled compression sections.
This patch is strongly based on previously reverted D20331.
(because of gnuutils < 2.26 does not support compressed debug sections in non zlib-gnu style)
Difference that this patch supports both zlib and zlib-gnu styles.
-compress-debug-sections option now supports next values:
-compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu
-compress-debug-sections=zlib
-compress-debug-sections=none
Previously specifying -compress-debug-sections enabled zlib-gnu compression,
so anyone can put "-compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu" to restore the behavior
that was before this patch for case when compression was enabled.

Main problem that .debug_info
section was used to check that llvm-dwarfdump is able to decompress
data that was compressed with llvm-mc tool. This section was not compressed
actually, because consumes more space in compressed view.
I changed testcase to use .debug_str section which is one that
is really compressed. So currently test do what is probably was expected to do:
checks that "data"->llvm-mc->llvm-dwarfdump->dumps back initial "data".

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

Since we can't emit diagnostics for missing "jmp 1f" labels until the end of

This is a fix for PR26941.
When there is both a section and a global definition with the same

are left undefined and fixed up in the object writer unless they've
been satisfied by some other definition.

When a symbol S shows up in an expression in assembly there are two
possible interpretations
* The expression is referring to the value of S in this file.
* The expression is referring to the value after symbol resolution.
In the first case the assembler can reason about the value and try to
produce a relocation.
In the second case, that is only possible if the symbol cannot be
preempted.
Assemblers are not very consistent about which interpretation gets used.
This changes MC to agree with GAS in the case of an expression of the
form "Sym - WeakSym".

Summary: Lately, I have submitted a number of patches to fix bugs that
only occurred when using the same pass manager to compile multiple
modules (generally these bugs are failure to reset some persistent
state). Unfortunately I don't think there is currently a way to test
that from the command line. This adds a very simple flag to both llc
and opt, under which the tools will simply re-run their respective
pass pipelines using the same pass manager on (a clone of the same
module). Additionally, we verify that both outputs are bitwise the
same.

Currently, if the assembler encounters an error after parsing (such as an
out-of-range fixup), it reports this as a fatal error, and so stops after the
first error. However, for most of these there is an obvious way to recover
after emitting the error, such as emitting the fixup with a value of zero. This
means that we can report on all of the errors in a file, not just the first
one. MCContext::reportError records the fact that an error was encountered, so
we won't actually emit an object file with the incorrect contents.

Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.
Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.
