This patchs adds a new metadata kind `exclude` which implies that the
global variable should be given the necessary flags during code
generation to not be included in the final executable. This is done
using the ``SHF_EXCLUDE`` flag on ELF for example. This should make it
easier to specify this flag on a variable without needing to explicitly
check the section name in the target backend.

Currently we use the `.llvm.offloading` section to store device-side
objects inside the host, creating a fat binary. The contents of these
sections is currently determined by the name of the section while it
should ideally be determined by its type. This patch adds the new
`SHT_LLVM_OFFLOADING` section type to the ELF section types. Which
should make it easier to identify this specific data format.

Summary:
We use the special section name `.llvm.offloading` to store device
imagees in the host object file. We want these to be stripped by the
linker as they are not used after linking so we use the `SHF_EXCLUDE`
flag to instruct the linker to drop them. We used to do this for all
sections that started with `.llvm.offloading` when we encoded metadata
in the section name itself. Now we embed a special binary containing the
metadata, we should only add the flag on this name specifically.
Summary:
When -ffunction-sections is on, this patch makes the compiler to generate unique LSDA and EH info sections for functions on AIX by appending the function name to the section name as a suffix. This will allow the AIX linker to garbage-collect unused function.

Offloading sections can be embedded in the host during codegen via a
section. This section was originally marked as metadata to prevent it
from being loaded, but these sections are completely unused at runtime
so the linker should automatically drop them from the final executable
or shard library. This flag adds support for the SHF_EXCLUDE flag in
target lowering and uses it.

Currently, the code in TargetLoweringObjectFile only assigns
@init_array section type to plain .init_array sections, but not
prioritized sections like .init_array.00001.
This is inconsistent with the interpretation in the AsmParser

and upcoming expectations in LLD
(see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/92181 for context).

This reverts commit fd4808887e.
This patch causes gcc to issue a lot of warnings like:
warning: base class ‘class llvm::MCParsedAsmOperand’ should be
explicitly initialized in the copy constructor [-Wextra]
To better reflect the meaning of the now-disambiguated {GlobalValue,
GlobalAlias}::getBaseObject after breaking off GlobalIFunc::getResolverFunction
(D109792), the function is renamed to getAliaseeObject.
This renames the primary methods for creating a zero value to `getZero`
instead of `getNullValue` and renames predicates like `isAllOnesValue`
to simply `isAllOnes`. This achieves two things:
1) This starts standardizing predicates across the LLVM codebase,
following (in this case) ConstantInt. The word "Value" doesn't
convey anything of merit, and is missing in some of the other things.
2) Calling an integer "null" doesn't make any sense. The original sin
here is mine and I've regretted it for years. This moves us to calling
it "zero" instead, which is correct!
APInt is widely used and I don't think anyone is keen to take massive source
breakage on anything so core, at least not all in one go. As such, this
doesn't actually delete any entrypoints, it "soft deprecates" them with a
comment.
Included in this patch are changes to a bunch of the codebase, but there are
more. We should normalize SelectionDAG and other APIs as well, which would
make the API change more mechanical.

The introduction of `SHF_GNU_RETAIN` has caused massive problems on Solaris.
Initially, as reported in Bug 49437, it caused dozens of testsuite failures
on both sparc and x86. The objects were marked as `ELFOSABI_NONE`, but
`SHF_GNU_RETAIN` is a GNU extension. In the native Solaris ABI, that flag
(in the range for OS-specific values) is `SHF_SUNW_ABSENT` with a
completely different semantics, which confuses Solaris `ld` very much.
Later, the objects became (correctly) marked `ELFOSABI_GNU`, which Solaris
`ld` doesn't support, causing it to SEGV and break the build. The linker
is currently being hardened to not accept non-native OS ABIs to avoid this.
The need for linker support is already documented in
`clang/include/clang/Basic/AttrDocs.td`, but not currently checked.
This patch avoids all this by not emitting `SHF_GNU_RETAIN` on Solaris at all.
Tested on `amd64-pc-solaris2.11`, `sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11`, and
`x86_64-pc-linux-gnu`.

In the textual format, `noduplicates` means no COMDAT/section group
deduplication is performed. Therefore, if both sets of sections are retained, and
they happen to define strong external symbols with the same names,
there will be a duplicate definition linker error.
In PE/COFF, the selection kind lowers to `IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES`.
The name describes the corollary instead of the immediate semantics. The name
can cause confusion to other binary formats (ELF, wasm) which have implemented/
want to implement the "no deduplication" selection kind. Rename it to be clearer.

The linker can sometimes drop the do_not_dead_strip if it can't associate the
atom with a symbol (the other place to specify no dead-stripping in MachO
files).
<string> is currently the highest impact header in a clang+llvm build:
https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-clang/llvm-include-analysis.html
One of the most common places this is being included is the APInt.h header, which needs it for an old toString() implementation that returns std::string - an inefficient method compared to the SmallString versions that it actually wraps.
This patch replaces these APInt/APSInt methods with a pair of llvm::toString() helpers inside StringExtras.h, adjusts users accordingly and removes the <string> from APInt.h - I was hoping that more of these users could be converted to use the SmallString methods, but it appears that most end up creating a std::string anyhow. I avoided trying to use the raw_ostream << operators as well as I didn't want to lose having the integer radix explicit in the code.

The logic for x86_64 position-independent TType encodings was backwards,
using 8 bytes where 4 were wanted and 4 where 8 were wanted. For regular
x86_64, this was mostly harmless, exception tables are allowed to use
8-byte encodings even when it is not needed. For the large code model,
and for X32, however, the generated exception tables were wrong. For the
large code model, we cannot assume that the address will fit in 4 bytes.
For X32, we cannot use 64-bit relocations.

This untangles the MCContext and the MCObjectFileInfo. There is a circular
dependency between MCContext and MCObjectFileInfo. Currently this dependency
also exists during construction: You can't contruct a MOFI without a MCContext
without constructing the MCContext with a dummy version of that MOFI first.
This removes this dependency during construction. In a perfect world,
MCObjectFileInfo wouldn't depend on MCContext at all, but only be stored in the
MCContext, like other MC information. This is future work.
This also shifts/adds more information to the MCContext making it more
available to the different targets. Namely:

If a global object is listed in `@llvm.used`, place it in a unique section with
the `SHF_GNU_RETAIN` flag. The section is a GC root under `ld --gc-sections`
with LLD>=13 or GNU ld>=2.36.
For front ends which do not expect to see multiple sections of the same name,
consider emitting `@llvm.compiler.used` instead of `@llvm.used`.
SHF_GNU_RETAIN is restricted to ELFOSABI_GNU and ELFOSABI_FREEBSD in
binutils. We don't do the restriction - see the rationale in D95749.
The integrated assembler has supported SHF_GNU_RETAIN since D95730.
GNU as>=2.36 supports section flag 'R'.
We don't need to worry about GNU ld support because older GNU ld just ignores
the unknown SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
With this change, `__attribute__((retain))` functions/variables emitted
by clang will get the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag.
