When producing objects that are abi compliant we are
marking neither the object file nor the assembly file
correctly and thus generate warnings.
We need to set the EF_CPIC flag in the ELF header when
generating direct object.
Note that the warning is only generated when compiling without PIC.
When compiling with clang the warning will be suppressed by supplying:
-Wa,-mno-shared -Wa,-call_nonpic
Also the following directive should also be added:
.option pic0
when compiling without PIC, This eliminates the need for supplying:
-mno-shared -call_nonpic
on the assembler command line.

For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

This patch solves the problem of numeric register values not being accepted:

The parsing of .set directive is changed and handling of symbols in code
as well to enable this feature.

Mips have delayslots for certain instructions
like jumps and branches. These are instructions
that follow the branch or jump and are executed
before the jump or branch is completed.
Early Mips compilers could not cope with delayslots
and left them up to the assembler. The assembler would
fill the delayslots with the appropriate instruction,
usually just a nop to allow correct runtime behavior.
The default behavior for this is set with .set reorder.
To tell the assembler that you don't want it to mess with
the delayslot one used .set noreorder.
For backwards compatibility we need to support
.set reorder and have it be the default behavior in the
assembler.
Our support for it is to insert a NOP directly after an
instruction with a delayslot when in .set reorder mode.

Normally r_info is just a 32 of 64 bit number matching the endian of the rest
of the file. Unfortunately, mips 64 bit little endian is special: The top 32
bits are a little endian number and the following 32 are a big endian one.

This finally fixes the encoding. The patch also
* Removes eh-frame.ll. It was an unnecessary .ll to .o test that was checking
the wrong value.
* Merge fde-reloc.s and eh-frame.s into a single test, since the only difference
was the run lines.
* Don't blindly test the content of the entire .eh_frame section. It makes it
hard to anyone actually fixing a bug and hitting a difference in a binary
blob. Instead, use a CHECK for each field and document what is being checked.

Revision 177141 caused a regression in all but
mips64 little endian. That is because none of the
other Mips targets had test cases checking the
contents of the .eh_frame section. This patch fixes
both the llvm code and adds an assembler test case
to include the current 4 flavors.
The test cases unfortunately rely on llvm-objdump. A
preferable method would be to use a pretty printer output
such as what readelf -wf <elf_file> would give.
I also changed the name of the test case to correct a typo.

For mips a branch an 18-bit signed offset (the 16-bit
offset field shifted left 2 bits) is added to the
address of the instruction following the branch
(not the branch itself), in the branch delay slot,
to form a PC-relative effective target address.
Previously, the code generator did not perform the
shift of the immediate branch offset which resulted
in wrong instruction opcode. This patch fixes the issue.

The .set directive in the Mips the assembler can be
used to set the value of a symbol to an expression.
This changes the symbol's value and type to conform
to the expression's.

The constructs %hi() and %lo() represent the high and low 16
bits of the address.
Because the 16 bit offset field of an LW instruction is
interpreted as signed, if bit 15 of the low part is 1 then the
low part will act as a negative and 1 needs to be added to the
high part.

Support for Mips register information sections.
Mips ELF object files have a section that is dedicated
to register use info. Some of this information such as
the assumed Global Pointer value is used by the linker
in relocation resolution.
The register info file is .reginfo in o32 and .MIPS.options
in 64 and n32 abi files.
This patch contains the changes needed to create the sections,
but leaves the actual register accounting for a future patch.
