This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
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.

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
