In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Patch by Hsiangkai Wang.
llvm-svn: 331841
Summary:
A temporary workaround for PR32780 - rematerialized instructions accessing the same promoted global through different constant pool entries.
The patch turns off the globals promotion optimization leaving all its code in place, so that it can be easily turned on once PR32780 is fixed.
Since this is a miscompilation issue causing generation of misbehaving code, and the problem is very subtle, the patch might be valuable enough to get into 4.0.1.

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.
