I randomly came across this difference between AArch64 and other targets:
on the latter, we don't emit nil checks for known non-nil class method
calls thanks to r247350, but we still do for AArch64 stret calls.
They use different code paths, because those are special, as they go
through the regular msgSend, not the msgSend*_stret variants.

Introduce an Address type to bundle a pointer value with an
alignment. Introduce APIs on CGBuilderTy to work with Address
values. Change core APIs on CGF/CGM to traffic in Address where
appropriate. Require alignments to be non-zero. Update a ton
of code to compute and propagate alignment information.
As part of this, I've promoted CGBuiltin's EmitPointerWithAlignment
helper function to CGF and made use of it in a number of places in
the expression emitter.
The end result is that we should now be significantly more correct
when performing operations on objects that are locally known to
be under-aligned. Since alignment is not reliably tracked in the
type system, there are inherent limits to this, but at least we
are no longer confused by standard operations like derived-to-base
conversions and array-to-pointer decay. I've also fixed a large
number of bugs where we were applying the complete-object alignment
to a pointer instead of the non-virtual alignment, although most of
these were hidden by the very conservative approach we took with
member alignment.
Also, because IRGen now reliably asserts on zero alignments, we
should no longer be subject to an absurd but frustrating recurring
bug where an incomplete type would report a zero alignment and then
we'd naively do a alignmentAtOffset on it and emit code using an
alignment equal to the largest power-of-two factor of the offset.
We should also now be emitting much more aggressive alignment
attributes in the presence of over-alignment. In particular,
field access now uses alignmentAtOffset instead of min.
Several times in this patch, I had to change the existing
code-generation pattern in order to more effectively use
the Address APIs. For the most part, this seems to be a strict
improvement, like doing pointer arithmetic with GEPs instead of
ptrtoint. That said, I've tried very hard to not change semantics,
but it is likely that I've failed in a few places, for which I
apologize.
ABIArgInfo now always carries the assumed alignment of indirect and
indirect byval arguments. In order to cut down on what was already
a dauntingly large patch, I changed the code to never set align
attributes in the IR on non-byval indirect arguments. That is,
we still generate code which assumes that indirect arguments have
the given alignment, but we don't express this information to the
backend except where it's semantically required (i.e. on byvals).
This is likely a minor regression for those targets that did provide
this information, but it'll be trivial to add it back in a later
patch.
I partially punted on applying this work to CGBuiltin. Please
do not add more uses of the CreateDefaultAligned{Load,Store}
APIs; they will be going away eventually.

Now the GEP constant utility functions require the type to be explicitly
passed (since eventually the pointer type will be opaque and not convey
the required type information). For now callers can still pass nullptr
(though none were needed here in Clang, which is nice) if
convenienc/necessary, but eventually that will be disallowed as well.

The extension has the following syntax:
__builtin_call_with_static_chain(Call, Chain)
where Call must be a function call expression and Chain must be of pointer type
This extension performs a function call Call with a static chain pointer
Chain passed to the callee in a designated register. This is useful for
calling foreign language functions whose ABI uses static chain pointers
(e.g. to implement closures).

Richard rejected my Sema change to interpret an integer literal zero in
a varargs context as a null pointer, so -Wsentinel sees an integer
literal zero and fires off a warning. Only CodeGen currently knows that
it promotes integer literal zeroes in this context to pointer size on
Windows. I didn't want to teach -Wsentinel about that compatibility
hack. Therefore, I'm migrating to C++11 nullptr.

The main subtlety here is that the Darwin tools still need to be given "-arch
arm64" rather than "-arch aarch64". Fortunately this already goes via a custom
function to handle weird edge-cases in other architectures, and it tested.
I removed a few arm64_be tests because that really isn't an interesting thing
to worry about. No-one using big-endian is also referring to the target as
arm64 (at least as far as toolchains go). Mostly they date from when arm64 was
a separate target and we *did* need a parallel name simply to test it at all.
Now aarch64_be is sufficient.

These cases in particular were incurring an extra strlen() when we already knew
the length. They appear to be leftovers from when the interfaces worked with C
strings that have continued to compile due to the implicit StringRef ctor.

LLVM currently has a hack (shouldEmitUsedDirectiveFor) that causes it to not
print no_dead_strip for symbols starting with 'l' or 'L'. These are exactly the
ones that the clang's objc codegen is producing. The net result, is that it is
equivalent to llvm.compiler.used.
The need for putting the private symbol in llvm.compiler.used should be clear
(the objc runtime uses them). The reason for also putting the weak symbols in
it is for LTO: ld64 will not ask us to preserve the it.

This patch changes the remaining GlobalVariables using "\01L" and
"\01l" prefixes to use private linkage. What is strange about them is
that they currently use WeakAnyLinkage. There is no comment stating
why and that is really odd since the symbols are completely hidden, so
it doesn't make sense for them to be weak.
Clang revisions like r63329, r63408, r63770, r65761 set the linkage to
weak, but don't say why. I suspect they were just copying llvm-gcc.
In llvm-gcc I found r58599 and r56322 that set DECL_WEAK, but they
were just syncing from the apple gcc. I am not exactly sure what that
means, since the last commit to
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/apple was in 2006, 2 years earlier.
In summary, I have no idea why weak linkage was being used :-(
