Use a dedicated MachO load command to annotate data-in-code regions.
This is the same format the linker produces for final executable images,
allowing consistency of representation and use of introspection tools
for both object and executable files.
Data-in-code regions are annotated via ".data_region"/".end_data_region"
directive pairs, with an optional region type.
data_region_directive := ".data_region" { region_type }
region_type := "jt8" | "jt16" | "jt32" | "jta32"
end_data_region_directive := ".end_data_region"
The previous handling of ARM-style "$d.*" labels was broken and has
been removed. Specifically, it didn't handle ARM vs. Thumb mode when
marking the end of the section.

When not using subsections via symbols, the assembler can resolve
symbol differences (including pcrel references) to non-local
labels at assembly time, not just those in the same atom.
llvm-svn: 148865
If the two fragments are in the same Atom, then the difference
expression is resolvable at compile time. Previously we were checking
that they were in the same fragment, but that breaks down in the
presence of instruction relaxation which has multiple fragments in the
same atom.

When the non-local symbol in the expression is in the same fragment
as the second symbol, the assembler can still evaluate the expression
without needing a relocation.
For example, on ARM:
_foo:
ldr lr, (_foo - 4)

When the file isn't being built with subsections-via-symbols, symbol
differences involving non-local symbols can be resolved more aggressively.
Needed for gas compatibility.

Assigned symbol addresses get truncated to 32-bits, even on 64-bit platforms.
That's obviously bogus.
For example,
.globl _foo
.equ _foo, 0x987654321ULL

Move the target-specific RecordRelocation logic out of the generic MC
MachObjectWriter and into the target-specific object writers. This allows
nuking quite a bit of target knowledge from the supposedly target-independent
bits in lib/MC.

(yes, this is different from R_ARM_CALL)
- Adds a new method getARMBranchTargetOpValue() which handles the
necessary distinction between the conditional and unconditional br/bl
needed for ARM/ELF
At least for ARM mode, the needed fixup for conditional versus unconditional
br/bl is identical, but the ARM docs and existing ARM tools expect this
reloc type...
Added a few FIXME's for future naming fixups in ARMInstrInfo.td

- Fixed :upper16: fix up routine. It should be shifting down the top 16 bits first.
- Added support for Thumb2 :lower16: and :upper16: fix up.
- Added :upper16: and :lower16: relocation support to mach-o object writer.
llvm-svn: 123424
IsSymbolRefDifferenceFullyResolved, it turns out this does change behavior on
enough cases for x86-32 that I would rather wait a bit on it.
- In practice, we will want to change this eventually because it only means we
generate less relocations (it also eliminates the need for the horrible
'.set' hack that Darwin requires in some places).
