Test updates were performed using:
https://gist.github.com/nikic/98357b71fd67756b0f064c9517b62a34
These are only the test updates where the test passed without
further modification (which is almost all of them, as the backend
is largely pointer-type agnostic).
Every basic block section symbol created by -fbasic-block-sections will contain
".__part." to know that this symbol corresponds to a basic block fragment of
the function.
This patch solves two problems:
a) Like D89617, we want function symbols with suffixes to be properly qualified
so that external tools like profile aggregators know exactly what this
symbol corresponds to.
b) The current basic block naming just adds a ".N" to the symbol name where N is
some integer. This collides with how clang creates __cxx_global_var_init.N.
clang creates these symbol names to call constructor functions and basic
block symbol naming should not use the same style.
Fixed all the test cases and added an extra test for __cxx_global_var_init
breakage.

D68049 created options for basic block sections: -fbasic-block-sections=,
-funique-basic-block-section-names. Rename options in llc and lld (--lto-)
to be consistent. Specifically,
+ Rename basicblock-sections to basic-block-sections
+ Rename unique-bb-section-names to unique-basic-block-section-names

This patch handles CFI with basic block sections, which unlike DebugInfo does
not support ranges. The DWARF standard explicitly requires emitting separate
CFI Frame Descriptor Entries for each contiguous fragment of a function. Thus,
the CFI information for all callee-saved registers (possibly including the
frame pointer, if necessary) have to be emitted along with redefining the
Call Frame Address (CFA), viz. where the current frame starts.
CFI directives are emitted in FDE’s in the object file with a low_pc, high_pc
specification. So, a single FDE must point to a contiguous code region unlike
debug info which has the support for ranges. This is what complicates CFI for
basic block sections.
Now, what happens when we start placing individual basic blocks in unique
sections:
* Basic block sections allow the linker to randomly reorder basic blocks in the
address space such that a given basic block can become non-contiguous with the
original function.
* The different basic block sections can no longer share the cfi_startproc and
cfi_endproc directives. So, each basic block section should emit this
independently.
* Each (cfi_startproc, cfi_endproc) directive will result in a new FDE that
caters to that basic block section.
* Now, this basic block section needs to duplicate the information from the
entry block to compute the CFA as it is an independent entity. It cannot refer
to the FDE of the original function and hence must duplicate all the stuff that
is needed to compute the CFA on its own.
* We are working on a de-duplication patch that can share common information in
FDEs in a CIE (Common Information Entry) and we will present this as a follow up
patch. This can significantly reduce the duplication overhead and is
particularly useful when several basic block sections are created.
* The CFI directives are emitted similarly for registers that are pushed onto
the stack, like callee saved registers in the prologue. There are cfi
directives that emit how to retrieve the value of the register at that point
when the push happened. This has to be duplicated too in a basic block that is
floated as a separate section.
