Change `CountersPtr` in `__profd_` to a label difference, which is a link-time
constant. On ELF, when linking a shared object, this requires that `__profc_` is
either private or linkonce/linkonce_odr hidden. On COFF, we need D104564 so that
`.quad a-b` (64-bit label difference) can lower to a 32-bit PC-relative relocation.
```
# ELF: R_X86_64_PC64 (PC-relative)
.quad .L__profc_foo-.L__profd_foo
# Mach-O: a pair of 8-byte X86_64_RELOC_UNSIGNED and X86_64_RELOC_SUBTRACTOR
.quad l___profc_foo-l___profd_foo
# COFF: we actually use IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32/IMAGE_REL_ARM64_REL32 so
# the high 32-bit value is zero even if .L__profc_foo < .L__profd_foo
# As compensation, we truncate CountersDelta in the header so that
# __llvm_profile_merge_from_buffer and llvm-profdata reader keep working.
.quad .L__profc_foo-.L__profd_foo
```
(Note: link.exe sorts `.lprfc` before `.lprfd` even if the object writer
has `.lprfd` before `.lprfc`, so we cannot work around by reordering
`.lprfc` and `.lprfd`.)
With this change, a stage 2 (`-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=X86 -DLLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED=IR`)
`ld -pie` linked clang is 1.74% smaller due to fewer R_X86_64_RELATIVE relocations.
```
% readelf -r pie | awk '$3~/R.*/{s[$3]++} END {for (k in s) print k, s[k]}'
R_X86_64_JUMP_SLO 331
R_X86_64_TPOFF64 2
R_X86_64_RELATIVE 476059 # was: 607712
R_X86_64_64 2616
R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT 31
```
The absolute function address (used by llvm-profdata to collect indirect call
targets) can be converted to relative as well, but is not done in this patch.

`__profd_*` variables are referenced by code only when value profiling is
enabled. If disabled (e.g. default -fprofile-instr-generate), the symbols just
waste space on ELF/Mach-O. We change the comdat symbol from `__profd_*` to
`__profc_*` because an internal symbol does not provide deduplication features
on COFF. The choice doesn't matter on ELF.
(In -DLLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED_COVERAGE=on build, there is now no `__profd_*` symbols.)
On Windows this enables further optimization. We are no longer affected by the
link.exe limitation: an external symbol in IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE can
cause duplicate definition error.
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-May/150758.html
We can thus use llvm.compiler.used instead of llvm.used like ELF (D97585).
This avoids many `/INCLUDE:` directives in `.drectve`.

D68041 placed `__profc_`, `__profd_` and (if exists) `__profvp_` in different comdat groups.
There are some issues:
* Cost: one or two additional section headers (`.group` section(s)): 64 or 128 bytes on ELF64.
* `__profc_`, `__profd_` and (if exists) `__profvp_` should be retained or
discarded. Placing them into separate comdat groups is conceptually inferior.
* If the prevailing group does not include `__profvp_` (value profiling not
used) but a non-prevailing group from another translation unit has `__profvp_`
(the function is inlined into another and triggers value profiling), there
will be a stray `__profvp_` if --gc-sections is not enabled.
This has been fixed by 3d6f53018f845e893ad34f64ff2851a2e5c3ba1d.
Actually, we can reuse an existing symbol (we choose `__profd_`) as the group
signature to avoid a string in the string table (the sole reason that D68041
could improve code size is that `__profv_` was an otherwise unused symbol which
wasted string table space). This saves one or two section headers.
For a -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED=IR build, `ninja
clang lld`, the patch has saved 10.5MiB (2.2%) for the total .o size.

With this patch, compiler generated profile variables will have its own COMDAT
name for ELF format, which syncs the behavior with COFF. Tested with clang
PGO bootstrap. This shows a modest reduction in object sizes in ELF format.

This reverts 295092 (re-applies 295084), with a fix for dangling
references from the array of coverage names passed down from frontends.
I missed this in my initial testing because I only checked test/Profile,
and not test/CoverageMapping as well.
Original commit message:
The profile name variables passed to counter increment intrinsics are dead
after we emit the finalized name data in __llvm_prf_nm. However, we neglect to
erase these name variables. This causes huge size increases in the
__TEXT,__const section as well as slowdowns when linker dead stripping is
disabled. Some affected projects are so massive that they fail to link on
Darwin, because only the small code model is supported.
Fix the issue by throwing away the name constants as soon as we're done with
them.

This patch reverts r291588: [PGO] Turn off comdat renaming in IR PGO by default,
as we are seeing some hash mismatches in our internal tests.
llvm-svn: 291621
Summary:
In IR PGO we append the function hash to comdat functions to avoid the
potential hash mismatch. This turns out not legal in some cases: if the comdat
function is address-taken and used in comparison. Renaming changes the semantic.
This patch turns off comdat renaming by default.
To alleviate the hash mismatch issue, we now rename the profile variable
for comdat functions. Profile allows co-existing multiple versions of profiles
with different hash value. The inlined copy will always has the correct profile
counter. The out-of-line copy might not have the correct count. But we will
not have the bogus mismatch warning.

Pre-instrumentation inline (pre-inliner) greatly improves the IR
instrumentation code performance, among other benefits. One issue of the
pre-inliner is it can introduce CFG-mismatch for COMDAT functions. This
is due to the fact that the same COMDAT function may have different early
inline decisions across different modules -- that means different copies
of COMDAT functions will have different CFG checksum.
In this patch, we propose a partially renaming the COMDAT group and its
member function/variable so we have different profile counter for each
version. We will post-fix the COMDAT function and the group name with its
FunctionHash.
