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).
Basic block sections enables function sections implicitly, this is not needed
and is inefficient with "=list" option.
We had basic block sections enable function sections implicitly in clang. This
is particularly inefficient with "=list" option as it places functions that do
not have any basic block sections in separate sections. This causes unnecessary
object file overhead for large applications.
This patch disables this implicit behavior. It only creates function sections
for those functions that require basic block sections.
Further, there was an inconistent behavior with llc as llc was not turning on
function sections by default. This patch makes llc and clang consistent and
tests are added to check the new behavior.
This is the first of two patches and this adds functionality in LLVM to
create a new section for the entry block if function sections is not
enabled.

The use of basic block sections should take precedence over the machine
function splitting pass. Since they use the same underlying mechanism
they are kept exclusive. Updated the tests to check that split machine
functions is overridden by all flavours of basic block sections.

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.

This patch changes the functionality of AsmPrinter to name the basic block end labels as LBB_END${i}_${j}, with ${i} being the identifier for the function and ${j} being the identifier for the basic block. The new naming scheme is consistent with how basic block labels are named (.LBB${i}_{j}), and how function end symbol are named (.Lfunc_end${i}) and helps to write stronger tests for the upcoming patch for BB-Info section (as proposed in https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/143512.html). The end label is used with basicblock-labels (BB-Info section in future) and basicblock-sections to compute the size of basic blocks and basic block sections, respectively. For BB sections, the section containing the entry basic block will not have a BB end label since it already gets the function end-label.
This label is cached for every basic block (CachedEndMCSymbol) like the label for the basic block (CachedMCSymbol).

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
