The idea is that the CC1 default for ELF should set dso_local on default
visibility external linkage definitions in the default -mrelocation-model pic
mode (-fpic/-fPIC) to match COFF/Mach-O and make output IR similar.
The refactoring is made available by 2820a2ca3a.
Currently only x86 supports local aliases. We move the decision to the driver.
There are three CC1 states:
* -fsemantic-interposition: make some linkages interposable and make default visibility external linkage definitions dso_preemptable.
* (default): selected if the target supports .Lfoo$local: make default visibility external linkage definitions dso_local
* -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition: if neither option is set or the target does not support .Lfoo$local: like -fno-semantic-interposition but local aliases are not used. So references can be interposed if not optimized out.
Add -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition to a few tests using the half-based semantic interposition behavior.
-fno-semantic-interposition is currently the CC1 default. (The opposite
disables some interprocedural optimizations.) However, it does not infer
dso_local: on most targets accesses to ExternalLinkage functions/variables
defined in the current module still need PLT/GOT.
This patch makes explicit -fno-semantic-interposition infer dso_local,
so that PLT/GOT can be eliminated if targets implement local aliases
for AsmPrinter::getSymbolPreferLocal (currently only x86).
Currently we check whether the module flag "SemanticInterposition" is 0.
If yes, infer dso_local. In the future, we can infer dso_local unless
"SemanticInterposition" is 1: frontends other than clang will also
benefit from the optimization if they don't bother setting the flag.
(There will be risks if they do want ELF interposition: they need to set
"SemanticInterposition" to 1.)
