For COFF, a comdat group is really a symbol marked
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY and zero or more other symbols marked
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE. Typically the associative symbols in
the group are not external and are not referenced by other TUs, they are
things like debug info, C++ dynamic initializers, or other section
registration schemes. The Visual C++ linker reports a duplicate symbol
error for symbols marked IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE even if they
would be discarded after handling the leader symbol.
Fixes coverage-inline.cpp in check-profile after r372020.

This fixes relocations against __profd_ symbols in discarded sections,
which is PR41380.
In general, instrumentation happens very early, and optimization and
inlining happens afterwards. The counters for a function are calculated
early, and after inlining, counters for an inlined function may be
widely referenced by other functions.
For C++ inline functions of all kinds (linkonce_odr &
available_externally mainly), instr profiling wants to deduplicate these
__profc_ and __profd_ globals. Otherwise the binary would be quite
large.
I made __profd_ and __profc_ comdat in r355044, but I chose to make
__profd_ internal. At the time, I was only dealing with coverage, and in
that case, none of the instrumentation needs to reference __profd_.
However, if you use PGO, then instrumentation passes add calls to
__llvm_profile_instrument_range which reference __profd_ globals. The
solution is to make these globals externally visible by using
linkonce_odr linkage for data as was done for counters.
This is safe because PGO adds a CFG hash to the names of the data and
counter globals, so if different TUs have different globals, they will
get different data and counter arrays.

Summary:
I hadn't realized that instrumentation runs before inlining, so we can't
use the function as the comdat group. Doing so can create relocations
against discarded sections when references to discarded __profc_
variables are inlined into functions outside the function's comdat
group.
In the future, perhaps we should consider standardizing the comdat group
names that ELF and COFF use. It will save object file size, since
__profv_$sym won't appear in the symbol table again.

Summary:
The motivating use case is eliminating duplicate profile data registered
for the same inline function in two object files. Before this change,
users would observe multiple symbol definition errors with VC link, but
links with LLD would succeed.
Users (Mozilla) have reported that PGO works well with clang-cl and LLD,
but when using LLD without this static registration, we would get into a
"relocation against a discarded section" situation. I'm not sure what
happens in that situation, but I suspect that duplicate, unused profile
information was retained. If so, this change will reduce the size of
such binaries with LLD.
Now, Windows uses static registration and is in line with all the other
platforms.

This patch adds the value profile support to profile the size parameter of
memory intrinsic calls: memcpy, memcmp, and memmov.

This reverts 295092 (re-applies 295084), with a fix for dangling
references from the array of coverage names passed down from frontends.
I missed this in my initial testing because I only checked test/Profile,
and not test/CoverageMapping as well.
Original commit message:
The profile name variables passed to counter increment intrinsics are dead
after we emit the finalized name data in __llvm_prf_nm. However, we neglect to
erase these name variables. This causes huge size increases in the
__TEXT,__const section as well as slowdowns when linker dead stripping is
disabled. Some affected projects are so massive that they fail to link on
Darwin, because only the small code model is supported.
Fix the issue by throwing away the name constants as soon as we're done with
them.

On Darwin, marking a section as "regular,live_support" means that a
symbol in the section should only be kept live if it has a reference to
something that is live. Otherwise, the linker is free to dead-strip it.
Turn this functionality on for the __llvm_prf_data section.
This means that counters and data associated with dead functions will be
removed from dead-stripped binaries. This will result in smaller
profiles and binaries, and should speed up profile collection.
Tested with check-profile, llvm-lit test/tools/llvm-{cov,profdata}, and
check-llvm.

Inline virtual functions has linkeonceodr linkage (emitted in comdat on
supporting targets). If the vtable for the class is not emitted in the
defining module, function won't be address taken thus its address is not
recorded. At the mercy of the linker, if the per-func prf_data from this
module (in comdat) is picked at link time, we will lose mapping from
function address to its hash val. This leads to missing icall promotion.
The second test case (currently disabled) in compiler_rt (r271528):
instrprof-icall-prom.test demostrates the bug. The first profile-use
subtest is fine due to linker order difference.
With this change, no missing icall targets is found in instrumented clang's
raw profile.

This reduces sizes of instrumented object files, final binaries,
process images, and raw profile data.
The format of the indexed profile data remain the same.

The linker requires that a comdat section must be associated
with a another comdat section that precedes it. This
means the comdat section's name needs to use the profile name
var's name.
Patch tested by Johan Engelen.

When targeting COFF, it is required that a comdat section to
have a global obj with the same name as the comdat (except for
comdats with select kind to be associative). This fix makes
sure that the comdat is keyed on the data variable for COFF.
Also improved test coverage for this.

Profile symbols have long prefixes which waste space and creating pressure for linker.
This patch shortens the prefixes to minimal length without losing verbosity.

and raw reader updates. The raw profile data files for llvm-profdata
testing are updated.

In -fprofile-instr-generate compilation, to remove the redundant profile
variables for the COMDAT functions, these variables are placed in the same
COMDAT group as its associated function. This way when the COMDAT function
is not picked by the linker, those profile variables will also not be
output in the final binary. This may cause warning when mix link objects
built w and wo -fprofile-instr-generate.
This patch puts the profile variables for COMDAT functions to its own COMDAT
group to avoid the problem.
Patch by xur.

This fixes a bit I forgot in r238335. In addition to the data record and
the counter, we can also move the name of the counter to the comdat for
the associated function.
I'm also adding an IR test case to check that these three elements are
placed in the proper comdat.
