clang/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule sets dso_local on applicable function declarations,
we don't need to duplicate the work in TargetMachine:shouldAssumeDSOLocal.
(Actually the long-term goal (started by r324535) is to drop TargetMachine::shouldAssumeDSOLocal.)
By not implying dso_local, we will respect dso_local/dso_preemptable specifiers
set by the frontend. This allows the proposed -fno-direct-access-external-data
option to work with -fno-pic and prevent a canonical PLT entry (SHN_UNDEF with non-zero st_value)
when taking the address of a function symbol.
This patch should be NFC in terms of the Clang emitted assembly because the case
we don't set dso_local is a case Clang sets dso_local. However, some tests don't
set dso_local on some function declarations and expose some differences. Most
tests have been fixed to be more robust in the previous commit.
Summary:
Attaching !absolute_symbol to a global variable does two things:
1) Marks it as an absolute symbol reference.
2) Specifies the value range of that symbol's address.
Teach the X86 backend to allow absolute symbols to appear in place of
immediates by extending the relocImm and mov64imm32 matchers. Start using
relocImm in more places where it is legal.
