Make the fixed-size part of MCFragment append-only to support allocating
content as trailing data. The `doneAppending` API is reserved by
MCStreamer API before finish and should not be used by the addrsig and
call-graph-profile features.
Move the FT_Relaxable-in-BSS check from frequently-called
MCObjectStreamer::emitInstruction to MCAssembler::writeSectionData,
along with existing checks for other fragment types. For the uncommon
diagnostics, losing the location information is acceptable.
Refactor the fragment representation of `push rax; jmp foo; nop; jmp foo`,
previously encoded as
`MCDataFragment(nop); MCRelaxableFragment(jmp foo); MCDataFragment(nop); MCRelaxableFragment(jmp foo)`,
to
```
MCFragment(fixed: push rax, variable: jmp foo)
MCFragment(fixed: nop, variable: jmp foo)
```
Changes:
* Eliminate MCEncodedFragment, moving content and fixup storage to MCFragment.
* The new MCFragment contains a fixed-size content (similar to previous
MCDataFragment) and an optional variable-size tail.
* The variable-size tail supports FT_Relaxable, FT_LEB, FT_Dwarf, and
FT_DwarfFrame, with plans to extend to other fragment types.
dyn_cast/isa should be avoided for the converted fragment subclasses.
* In `setVarFixups`, source fixup offsets are relative to the variable part's start.
Stored fixup (in `FixupStorage`) offsets are relative to the fixed part's start.
A lot of code does `getFragmentOffset(Frag) + Fixup.getOffset()`,
expecting the fixup offset to be relative to the fixed part's start.
* HexagonAsmBackend::fixupNeedsRelaxationAdvanced needs to know the
associated instruction for a fixup. We have to add a `const MCFragment &` parameter.
* In MCObjectStreamer, extend `absoluteSymbolDiff` to apply to
FT_Relaxable as otherwise there would be many more FT_DwarfFrame
fragments in -g compilations.

Add the required IMAGE_REL_MIPS_PAIR relocation after
IMAGE_REL_MIPS_REFHI/IMAGE_REL_MIPS_SECRELHI
Microsoft PE/COFF specification says that the IMAGE_REL_MIPS_REFHI
relocation contains "the high 16 bits of the target's 32-bit virtual
address. [...] This relocation must be immediately followed by a PAIR
relocation whose SymbolTableIndex contains a 16-bit displacement which
is added to the upper 16 bits taken from the location being relocated."
Microsoft PE/COFF specification says that the IMAGE_REL_MIPS_SECRELHI
relocation contains "the high 16 bits of the 32-bit offset of the target
from the beginning of its section. A PAIR relocation must immediately
follow this on. The SymbolTableIndex of the PAIR relocation contains a
16-bit displacement, which is added to the upper 16 bits taken from the
location being relocated."
Behavior has been checked against Microsoft C compiler for MIPS.
The ASAN and MSAN tests have been failing after #122777 because some
fields are now set in `executePostLayoutBinding` which is skipped by the
assembler if it had errors but read in `writeObject`
Since the compilation has failed anyway, skip `writeObject` if the
assembler had errors.
This change implements import call optimization for AArch64 Windows
(equivalent to the undocumented MSVC `/d2ImportCallOptimization` flag).
Import call optimization adds additional data to the binary which can be
used by the Windows kernel loader to rewrite indirect calls to imported
functions as direct calls. It uses the same [Dynamic Value Relocation
Table mechanism that was leveraged on x64 to implement
`/d2GuardRetpoline`](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windowsosplatform/mitigating-spectre-variant-2-with-retpoline-on-windows/295618).
The change to the obj file is to add a new `.impcall` section with the
following layout:
```cpp
// Per section that contains calls to imported functions:
// uint32_t SectionSize: Size in bytes for information in this section.
// uint32_t Section Number
// Per call to imported function in section:
// uint32_t Kind: the kind of imported function.
// uint32_t BranchOffset: the offset of the branch instruction in its
// parent section.
// uint32_t TargetSymbolId: the symbol id of the called function.
```
NOTE: If the import call optimization feature is enabled, then the
`.impcall` section must be emitted, even if there are no calls to
imported functions.
The implementation is split across a few parts of LLVM:
* During AArch64 instruction selection, the `GlobalValue` for each call
to a global is recorded into the Extra Information for that node.
* During lowering to machine instructions, the called global value for
each call is noted in its containing `MachineFunction`.
* During AArch64 asm printing, if the import call optimization feature
is enabled:
- A (new) `.impcall` directive is emitted for each call to an imported
function.
- The `.impcall` section is emitted with its magic header (but is not
filled in).
* During COFF object writing, the `.impcall` section is filled in based
on each `.impcall` directive that were encountered.
The `.impcall` section can only be filled in when we are writing the
COFF object as it requires the actual section numbers, which are only
assigned at that point (i.e., they don't exist during asm printing).
I had tried to avoid using the Extra Information during instruction
selection and instead implement this either purely during asm printing
or in a `MachineFunctionPass` (as suggested in [on the
forums](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/design-gathering-locations-of-instructions-to-emit-into-a-section/83729/3))
but this was not possible due to how loading and calling an imported
function works on AArch64. Specifically, they are emitted as `ADRP` +
`LDR` (to load the symbol) then a `BR` (to do the call), so at the point
when we have machine instructions, we would have to work backwards
through the instructions to discover what is being called. An initial
prototype did work by inspecting instructions; however, it didn't
correctly handle the case where the same function was called twice in a
row, which caused LLVM to elide the `ADRP` + `LDR` and reuse the
previously loaded address. Worse than that, sometimes for the
double-call case LLVM decided to spill the loaded address to the stack
and then reload it before making the second call. So, instead of trying
to implement logic to discover where the value in a register came from,
I instead recorded the symbol being called at the last place where it
was easy to do: instruction selection.
Similar to commit 28fcafb50274be2520117eacb0a886adafefe59d (2011) for
MachObjectWriter. MCWinCOFFStreamer can now access WinCOFFObjectWriter
directly without holding object file format specific inforamtion in
MCAssembler (e.g. IncrementalLinkerCompatible).

MCAsmLayout, introduced by ac8a95498a99eb16dff9d3d0186616645d200b6e
(2010), provides APIs to compute fragment/symbol/section offsets.
The separate class is cumbersome and passing it around has overhead.
Let's remove it as the underlying implementation is tightly coupled with
MCAsmLayout anyway.
Some forwarders are added to ease migration.
13a79bbfe583e1d8cc85d241b580907260065eb8 (2017) unified `BeginSymbol` and
section symbol for ELF. This patch does the same for COFF.
* In getCOFFSection, all sections now have a `BeginSymbol` (section
symbol). We do not need a dummy symbol name when `getBeginSymbol` is
needed (used by AsmParser::Run and DWARF generation).
* Section symbols are in the global symbol table. `call .text` will
reference the section symbol instead of an undefined symbol. This
matches GNU assembler. Unlike GNU, redefining the section symbol will
cause a "symbol 'foo0' is already defined" error (see
`section-sym-err.s`).

All sections should have been created before MCAssembler::layout so that
every section has an ordinal. Registering the section in
WinCOFFObjectWriter::executePostLayoutBinding is a hack.
There are only three actual uses of the section kind in MCSection:
isText(), XCOFF, and WebAssembly. Store isText() in the MCSection, and
store other info in the actual section variants where required.
ELF and COFF flags also encode all relevant information, so for these
two section variants, remove the SectionKind parameter entirely.
This allows to remove the string switch (which is unnecessary and
inaccurate) from createELFSectionImpl. This was introduced in
[D133456](https://reviews.llvm.org/D133456), but apparently, it was
never hit for non-writable sections anyway and the resulting kind was
never used.
`allocFragment` might be changed to a placement new when the allocation
strategy changes.
`allocInitialFragment` is to deduplicate the following pattern
```
auto *F = new MCDataFragment();
Result->addFragment(*F);
F->setParent(Result);
```

This patch replaces uses of StringRef::{starts,ends}with with
StringRef::{starts,ends}_with for consistency with
std::{string,string_view}::{starts,ends}_with in C++20.
I'm planning to deprecate and eventually remove
StringRef::{starts,ends}with.
Note that llvm::support::endianness has been renamed to
llvm::endianness while becoming an enum class as opposed to an
enum. This patch replaces support::{big,little,native} with
llvm::endianness::{big,little,native}.
For a b/bl instruction that branches a temporary symbol (private
assembly label), an IMAGE_REL_ARM64_BRANCH26 relocation to another
symbol + a non-zero offset could be emitted but the linkers don't
support this type of relocation and cause incorrect relocations and
crashes. Avoid emitting this type of relocations.

D152340 has split WinCOFFObjectWriter to WinCOFFWriter. This patch adds
another WinCOFFWriter as DwoWriter to write Dwo sections to dwo file.
Driver options are also updated accordingly to support -gsplit-dwarf in
CL mode.
e.g. $ clang-cl -c -gdwarf -gsplit-dwarf foo.c
Like what -gsplit-dwarf did in ELF, using this option will create DWARF object
(.dwo) file. DWARF debug info is split between COFF object and DWARF object
file. It can reduce the executable file size especially for large project.

We'd like to support -gsplit-dwarf for Windows COFF. It requires to
write Dwo and NonDwo sections to different output streams.The original
implementation is not designed to do that and there can be only one
MCObjectWriter. This patch split WinCOFFObjectWriter to WinCOFFWriter so
that:
1. WinCOFFObjectWriter can create multiple WinCOFFWriter.
2. Each WinCOFFWriter can separately collect sections it is interested.
3. Each WinCOFFWriter can write to it's own output stream.

This is mostly useful for ARM64EC, which uses such symbols extensively.
One interesting quirk of ARM64EC is that we need to be able to emit weak
symbols that point at each other (so if either symbol is defined
elsewhere, both symbols point at the definition). This handling is
currently restricted to weak_anti_dep symbols, because we depend on the
current behavior of resolving weak symbols in some cases.
