If a constant is unamed_addr and is only used within one function, we can save
on the code size and runtime cost of an indirection by changing the global's storage
to inside the constant pool. For example, instead of:
ldr r0, .CPI0
bl printf
bx lr
.CPI0: &format_string
format_string: .asciz "hello, world!\n"
We can emit:
adr r0, .CPI0
bl printf
bx lr
.CPI0: .asciz "hello, world!\n"
This can cause significant code size savings when many small strings are used in one
function (4 bytes per string).
This recommit contains fixes for a nasty bug related to fast-isel fallback - because
fast-isel doesn't know about this optimization, if it runs and emits references to
a string that we inline (because fast-isel fell back to SDAG) we will end up
with an inlined string and also an out-of-line string, and we won't emit the
out-of-line string, causing backend failures.
It also contains fixes for emitting .text relocations which made the sanitizer
bots unhappy.

This patch adds support for some new relocation models to the ARM
backend:
* Read-only position independence (ROPI): Code and read-only data is accessed
PC-relative. The offsets between all code and RO data sections are known at
static link time. This does not affect read-write data.
* Read-write position independence (RWPI): Read-write data is accessed relative
to the static base register (r9). The offsets between all writeable data
sections are known at static link time. This does not affect read-only data.
These two modes are independent (they specify how different objects
should be addressed), so they can be used individually or together. They
are otherwise the same as the "static" relocation model, and are not
compatible with SysV-style PIC using a global offset table.
These modes are normally used by bare-metal systems or systems with
small real-time operating systems. They are designed to avoid the need
for a dynamic linker, the only initialisation required is setting r9 to
an appropriate value for RWPI code.
I have only added support to SelectionDAG, not FastISel, because
FastISel is currently disabled for bare-metal targets where these modes
would be used.

TLS access requires an offset from the TLS index. The index itself is the
section-relative distance of the symbol. For ARM, the relevant relocation
(IMAGE_REL_ARM_SECREL) is applied as a constant. This means that the value may
not be an immediate and must be lowered into a constant pool. This offset will
not be base relocated. We were previously emitting the actual address of the
symbol which would be base relocated and would therefore be the vaue offset by
the ImageBase + TLS Offset.

Given something like:
ldr r0, .LCPI0_0 (== pc-rel var)
add r0, pc
ldr r1, .LCPI0_1 (== pc-rel var)
add r1, pc
we cannot combine the 2 ldr instructions and litpools because they get added to
a different pc to form the correct address. I think the original logic came
from a time when we fused the LDRpci/PICADD instructions into one
pseudo-instruction so the PC was always immediately at-hand. That's no longer
the case.
Should fix general-dynamic TLS access on Linux, and quite possibly other -fPIC
code that relies on litpools (e.g. v6m and -Oz compilations) though trivial
tweaks of the .ll test didn't provoke anything.

In PIC mode we were previously computing global variable addresses (or GOT
entry addresses) by adding the PC, the PC-relative GOT displacement and
the GOT-relative symbol/GOT entry displacement. Because the latter two
displacements are fixed, we ended up performing one more addition than
necessary.
This change causes us to compute addresses using a single PC-relative
displacement, resulting in a shorter code sequence. This reduces code size
by about 4% in a recent build of Chromium for Android.
As a result of this change we no longer need to compute the GOT base address
in the ARM backend, which allows us to remove the Global Base Reg pass and
SDAG lowering for the GOT.
We also now no longer use the GOT when addressing a symbol which is known
to be defined in the same linkage unit. Specifically, the symbol must have
either hidden visibility or a strong definition in the current module in
order to not use the the GOT.
This is a change from the previous behaviour where we would use the GOT to
address externally visible symbols defined in the same module. I think the
only cases where this could matter are cases involving symbol interposition,
but we don't really support that well anyway.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

This affords us to use std::string's allocation routines and use the destructor
for the memory management. Switching to that also means that we can use
operator==(const std::string&, const char *) to perform the string comparison
rather than resorting to libc functionality (i.e. strcmp).

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

except it doesn't care if the definitions' virtual registers differ. This is
used by machine LICM and other MI passes to perform CSE.
- Teach Thumb2InstrInfo::isIdentical() to check two t2LDRpci_pic are identical.
Since pc relative constantpool entries are always different, this requires it
it check if the values can actually the same.

makes an eggregious hack somewhat more palatable. Bringing the LSDA forward
and making it a GV available for reference would be even better, but is
beyond the scope of what I'm looking to solve at this point.
Objective C++ code could generate function names that broke the previous
scheme. This fixes that.
