With Control-Flow Integrity (CFI), the LowerTypeTests pass replaces
function references with CFI jump table references, which is a problem
for low-level code that needs the address of the actual function body.
For example, in the Linux kernel, the code that sets up interrupt
handlers needs to take the address of the interrupt handler function
instead of the CFI jump table, as the jump table may not even be mapped
into memory when an interrupt is triggered.
This change adds the no_cfi constant type, which wraps function
references in a value that LowerTypeTestsModule::replaceCfiUses does not
replace.

This patch extends LLVM IR to add metadata that can be used to emit macho files with two build version load commands.
It utilizes "darwin.target_variant.triple" and "darwin.target_variant.SDK Version" metadata names for that,
which will be set by a future patch in clang.
MachO uses two build version load commands to represent an object file / binary that is targeting both the macOS target,
and the Mac Catalyst target. At runtime, a dynamic library that supports both targets can be loaded from either a native
macOS or a Mac Catalyst app on a macOS system. We want to add support to this to upstream to LLVM to be able to build
compiler-rt for both targets, to finish the complete support for the Mac Catalyst platform, which is right now targetable
by upstream clang, but the compiler-rt bits aren't supported because of the lack of this multiple build version support.

The GlobalIndirectSymbol class lost most of its meaning in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D109792, which disambiguated getBaseObject
(now getAliaseeObject) between GlobalIFunc and everything else.
In addition, as long as GlobalIFunc is not a GlobalObject and
getAliaseeObject returns GlobalObjects, a GlobalAlias whose aliasee
is a GlobalIFunc cannot currently be modeled properly. Creating
aliases for GlobalIFuncs does happen in the wild (e.g. glibc). In addition,
calling getAliaseeObject on a GlobalIFunc will currently return nullptr,
which is undesirable because it should return the object itself for
non-aliases.
This patch refactors the GlobalIFunc class to inherit directly from
GlobalObject, and removes GlobalIndirectSymbol (while inlining the
relevant parts into GlobalAlias and GlobalIFunc). This allows for
calling getAliaseeObject() on a GlobalIFunc to return the GlobalIFunc
itself, making getAliaseeObject() more consistent and enabling
alias-to-ifunc to be properly modeled in the IR.
I exercised some judgement in the API clients of GlobalIndirectSymbol:
some were 'monomorphized' for GlobalAlias and GlobalIFunc, and
some remained shared (with the type adapted to become GlobalValue).

In preparation for passing the MCSubtargetInfo (STI) through to writeNops
so that it can use the STI in operation at the time, we need to record the
STI in operation when a MCAlignFragment may write nops as padding. The
STI is currently unused, a further patch will pass it through to
writeNops.
There are many places that can create an MCAlignFragment, in most cases
we can find out the STI in operation at the time. In a few places this
isn't possible as we are in initialisation or finalisation, or are
emitting constant pools. When possible I've tried to find the most
appropriate existing fragment to obtain the STI from, when none is
available use the per module STI.
For constant pools we don't actually need to use EmitCodeAlign as the
constant pools are data anyway so falling through into it via an
executable NOP is no better than falling through into data padding.
This is a prerequisite for D45962 which uses the STI to emit the
appropriate NOP for the STI. Which can differ per fragment.
Note that involves an interface change to InitSections. It is now
called initSections and requires a SubtargetInfo as a parameter.

This patch introduces "DBG_PHI" instructions, a marker of where a PHI
instruction used to be, before PHI elimination. Under the instruction
referencing model, we want to know where every value in the function is
defined -- and a PHI, even if implicit, is such a place.
Just like instruction numbers, we can use this to identify a value to be
used as a variable value, but we don't need to know what instruction
defines that value, for example:
bb1:
DBG_PHI $rax, 1
[... more insts ... ]
bb2:
DBG_INSTR_REF 1, 0, !1234, !DIExpression()
This specifies that on entry to bb1, whatever value is in $rax is known
as value number one -- and the later DBG_INSTR_REF marks the position
where variable !1234 should take on value number one.
PHI locations are stored in MachineFunction for the duration of the
regalloc phase in the DebugPHIPositions map. The map is populated by
PHIElimination, and then flushed back into the instruction stream by
virtregrewriter. A small amount of maintenence is needed in
LiveDebugVariables to account for registers being split, but only for
individual positions, not for entire ranges of blocks.

This patch adds support for GCC's -fstack-usage flag. With this flag, a stack
usage file (i.e., .su file) is generated for each input source file. The format
of the stack usage file is also similar to what is used by GCC. For each
function defined in the source file, a line with the following information is
produced in the .su file.
<source_file>:<line_number>:<function_name> <size_in_byte> <static/dynamic>
"Static" means that the function's frame size is static and the size info is an
accurate reflection of the frame size. While "dynamic" means the function's
frame size can only be determined at run-time because the function manipulates
the stack dynamically (e.g., due to variable size objects). The size info only
reflects the size of the fixed size frame objects in this case and therefore is
not a reliable measure of the total frame size.

This patch adds a fallthrough bit to basic block metadata, indicating whether the basic block can fallthrough without taking any branches. The bit will help us avoid an intel LBR bug which results in occasional duplicate entries at the beginning of the LBR stack.
This patch uses `MachineBasicBlock::canFallThrough()` to set the bit. This is not a const method because it eventually calls `TargetInstrInfo::analyzeBranch`, but it calls this function with the default `AllowModify=false`. So we can either make the argument to the `getBBAddrMapMetadata` non-const, or we can use `const_cast` when calling `canFallThrough`. I decide to go with the latter since this is purely due to legacy code, and in general we should not allow the BasicBlock to be mutable during `getBBAddrMapMetadata`.

so as to not be dependent on changes elsewhere in the patch stack.
This reverts commit d2000b45d0.
This patch adds a new instruction that can represent variadic debug values,
DBG_VALUE_VAR. This patch alone covers the addition of the instruction and a set
of basic code changes in MachineInstr and a few adjacent areas, but does not
correctly handle variadic debug values outside of these areas, nor does it

The new instruction is similar to the existing DBG_VALUE instruction, with the
following differences: the operands are in a different order, any number of
values may be used in the instruction following the Variable and Expression
operands (these are referred to in code as “debug operands”) and are indexed
from 0 so that getDebugOperand(X) == getOperand(X+2), and the Expression in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR must use the DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator to pass arguments into the
expression.
The new DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator is only valid in expressions appearing in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR; it takes a single argument and pushes the debug operand at the
index given by the argument onto the Expression stack. For example the
sub-expression `DW_OP_LLVM_arg, 0` has the meaning “Push the debug operand at
index 0 onto the expression stack.”

The set of exception continuation information includes returns from exceptional control flow (catchret in llvm).

* (default): selected if the target supports .Lfoo$local: make default visibility external linkage definitions dso_local
* -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition: if neither option is set or the target does not support .Lfoo$local: like -fno-semantic-interposition but local aliases are not used. So references can be interposed if not optimized out.
Add -fhalf-no-semantic-interposition to a few tests using the half-based semantic interposition behavior.
This change implements pseudo probe encoding and emission for CSSPGO. Please see RFC here for more context: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s
Pseudo probes are in the form of intrinsic calls on IR/MIR but they do not turn into any machine instructions. Instead they are emitted into the binary as a piece of data in standalone sections. The probe-specific sections are not needed to be loaded into memory at execution time, thus they do not incur a runtime overhead.
**ELF object emission**
The binary data to emit are organized as two ELF sections, i.e, the `.pseudo_probe_desc` section and the `.pseudo_probe` section. The `.pseudo_probe_desc` section stores a function descriptor for each function and the `.pseudo_probe` section stores the actual probes, each fo which corresponds to an IR basic block or an IR function callsite. A function descriptor is stored as a module-level metadata during the compilation and is serialized into the object file during object emission.
Both the probe descriptors and pseudo probes can be emitted into a separate ELF section per function to leverage the linker for deduplication. A `.pseudo_probe` section shares the same COMDAT group with the function code so that when the function is dead, the probes are dead and disposed too. On the contrary, a `.pseudo_probe_desc` section has its own COMDAT group. This is because even if a function is dead, its probes may be inlined into other functions and its descriptor is still needed by the profile generation tool.
The format of `.pseudo_probe_desc` section looks like:
```
.section .pseudo_probe_desc,"",@progbits
.quad 6309742469962978389 // Func GUID
.quad 4294967295 // Func Hash

```
For each `.pseudoprobe` section, the encoded binary data consists of a single function record corresponding to an outlined function (i.e, a function with a code entry in the `.text` section). A function record has the following format :
```
FUNCTION BODY (one for each outlined function present in the text section)
GUID (uint64)
GUID of the function
NPROBES (ULEB128)
Number of probes originating from this function.
NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS (ULEB128)
Number of callees inlined into this function, aka number of
first-level inlinees
PROBE RECORDS
A list of NPROBES entries. Each entry contains:
INDEX (ULEB128)
TYPE (uint4)
0 - block probe, 1 - indirect call, 2 - direct call
ATTRIBUTE (uint3)
reserved
ADDRESS_TYPE (uint1)
0 - code address, 1 - address delta
CODE_ADDRESS (uint64 or ULEB128)
code address or address delta, depending on ADDRESS_TYPE
INLINED FUNCTION RECORDS
A list of NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS entries describing each of the inlined
callees. Each record contains:
INLINE SITE
GUID of the inlinee (uint64)
ID of the callsite probe (ULEB128)
FUNCTION BODY
A FUNCTION BODY entry describing the inlined function.
```
To support building a context-sensitive profile, probes from inlinees are grouped by their inline contexts. An inline context is logically a call path through which a callee function lands in a caller function. The probe emitter builds an inline tree based on the debug metadata for each outlined function in the form of a trie tree. A tree root is the outlined function. Each tree edge stands for a callsite where inlining happens. Pseudo probes originating from an inlinee function are stored in a tree node and the tree path starting from the root all the way down to the tree node is the inline context of the probes. The emission happens on the whole tree top-down recursively. Probes of a tree node will be emitted altogether with their direct parent edge. Since a pseudo probe corresponds to a real code address, for size savings, the address is encoded as a delta from the previous probe except for the first probe. Variant-sized integer encoding, aka LEB128, is used for address delta and probe index.
**Assembling**
Pseudo probes can be printed as assembly directives alternatively. This allows for good assembly code readability and also provides a view of how optimizations and pseudo probes affect each other, especially helpful for diff time assembly analysis.
A pseudo probe directive has the following operands in order: function GUID, probe index, probe type, probe attributes and inline context. The directive is generated by the compiler and can be parsed by the assembler to form an encoded `.pseudoprobe` section in the object file.
A example assembly looks like:
```

This change implements pseudo probe encoding and emission for CSSPGO. Please see RFC here for more context: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s
Pseudo probes are in the form of intrinsic calls on IR/MIR but they do not turn into any machine instructions. Instead they are emitted into the binary as a piece of data in standalone sections. The probe-specific sections are not needed to be loaded into memory at execution time, thus they do not incur a runtime overhead.
**ELF object emission**
The binary data to emit are organized as two ELF sections, i.e, the `.pseudo_probe_desc` section and the `.pseudo_probe` section. The `.pseudo_probe_desc` section stores a function descriptor for each function and the `.pseudo_probe` section stores the actual probes, each fo which corresponds to an IR basic block or an IR function callsite. A function descriptor is stored as a module-level metadata during the compilation and is serialized into the object file during object emission.
Both the probe descriptors and pseudo probes can be emitted into a separate ELF section per function to leverage the linker for deduplication. A `.pseudo_probe` section shares the same COMDAT group with the function code so that when the function is dead, the probes are dead and disposed too. On the contrary, a `.pseudo_probe_desc` section has its own COMDAT group. This is because even if a function is dead, its probes may be inlined into other functions and its descriptor is still needed by the profile generation tool.
The format of `.pseudo_probe_desc` section looks like:
```
.section .pseudo_probe_desc,"",@progbits
.quad 6309742469962978389 // Func GUID
.quad 4294967295 // Func Hash
.byte 9 // Length of func name
.ascii "_Z5funcAi" // Func name

.quad -2016976694713209516
.quad 72617220756
.byte 7
.ascii "_Z3fibi"
```
For each `.pseudoprobe` section, the encoded binary data consists of a single function record corresponding to an outlined function (i.e, a function with a code entry in the `.text` section). A function record has the following format :
```
FUNCTION BODY (one for each outlined function present in the text section)
GUID (uint64)
GUID of the function
NPROBES (ULEB128)
Number of probes originating from this function.
NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS (ULEB128)
Number of callees inlined into this function, aka number of
first-level inlinees
PROBE RECORDS
A list of NPROBES entries. Each entry contains:
INDEX (ULEB128)
TYPE (uint4)
0 - block probe, 1 - indirect call, 2 - direct call
ATTRIBUTE (uint3)
reserved
ADDRESS_TYPE (uint1)
0 - code address, 1 - address delta
CODE_ADDRESS (uint64 or ULEB128)
code address or address delta, depending on ADDRESS_TYPE
INLINED FUNCTION RECORDS
A list of NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS entries describing each of the inlined
callees. Each record contains:
INLINE SITE
GUID of the inlinee (uint64)
ID of the callsite probe (ULEB128)
FUNCTION BODY
A FUNCTION BODY entry describing the inlined function.
```
To support building a context-sensitive profile, probes from inlinees are grouped by their inline contexts. An inline context is logically a call path through which a callee function lands in a caller function. The probe emitter builds an inline tree based on the debug metadata for each outlined function in the form of a trie tree. A tree root is the outlined function. Each tree edge stands for a callsite where inlining happens. Pseudo probes originating from an inlinee function are stored in a tree node and the tree path starting from the root all the way down to the tree node is the inline context of the probes. The emission happens on the whole tree top-down recursively. Probes of a tree node will be emitted altogether with their direct parent edge. Since a pseudo probe corresponds to a real code address, for size savings, the address is encoded as a delta from the previous probe except for the first probe. Variant-sized integer encoding, aka LEB128, is used for address delta and probe index.
**Assembling**
Pseudo probes can be printed as assembly directives alternatively. This allows for good assembly code readability and also provides a view of how optimizations and pseudo probes affect each other, especially helpful for diff time assembly analysis.
A pseudo probe directive has the following operands in order: function GUID, probe index, probe type, probe attributes and inline context. The directive is generated by the compiler and can be parsed by the assembler to form an encoded `.pseudoprobe` section in the object file.
A example assembly looks like:
```

# %bb.0: # %bb0
pushq %rax

.pseudoprobe 837061429793323041 1 0 0

All these potential null pointer dereferences are reported by my static analyzer for null smart pointer dereferences, which has a different implementation from `alpha.cplusplus.SmartPtr`.
The checked pointers in this patch are initialized by Target::createXXX functions. When the creator function pointer is not correctly set, a null pointer will be returned, or the creator function may originally return a null pointer.
Some of them may not make sense as they may be checked before entering the function, but I fixed them all in this patch. I submit this fix because 1) similar checks are found in some other places in the LLVM codebase for the same return value of the function; and, 2) some of the pointers are dereferenced before they are checked, which may definitely trigger a null pointer dereference if the return value is nullptr.

The `dso_local_equivalent` constant is a wrapper for functions that represents a
value which is functionally equivalent to the global passed to this. That is, if
this accepts a function, calling this constant should have the same effects as
calling the function directly. This could be a direct reference to the function,
the `@plt` modifier on X86/AArch64, a thunk, or anything that's equivalent to the
resolved function as a call target.
When lowered, the returned address must have a constant offset at link time from
some other symbol defined within the same binary. The address of this value is
also insignificant. The name is leveraged from `dso_local` where use of a function
or variable is resolved to a symbol in the same linkage unit.
In this patch:
- Addition of `dso_local_equivalent` and handling it
- Update Constant::needsRelocation() to strip constant inbound GEPs and take
advantage of `dso_local_equivalent` for relative references
This is useful for the [Relative VTables C++ ABI](https://reviews.llvm.org/D72959)
which makes vtables readonly. This works by replacing the dynamic relocations for
function pointers in them with static relocations that represent the offset between
the vtable and virtual functions. If a function is externally defined,
`dso_local_equivalent` can be used as a generic wrapper for the function to still
allow for this static offset calculation to be done.

To accommodate frame layouts that have both fixed and scalable objects
on the stack, describing a stack location or offset using a pointer + uint64_t
is not sufficient. For this reason, we've introduced the StackOffset class,
which models both the fixed- and scalable sized offsets.
The TargetFrameLowering::getFrameIndexReference is made to return a StackOffset,
so that this can be used in other interfaces, such as to eliminate frame indices
in PEI or to emit Debug locations for variables on the stack.
This patch is purely mechanical and doesn't change the behaviour of how
the result of this function is used for fixed-sized offsets. The patch adds
various checks to assert that the offset has no scalable component, as frame
offsets with a scalable component are not yet supported in various places.

This patch provides exception support for basic block sections by splitting the call-site table into call-site ranges corresponding to different basic block sections. Still all landing pads must reside in the same basic block section (which is guaranteed by the the core basic block section patch D73674 (ExceptionSection) ). Each call-site table will refer to the landing pad fragment by explicitly specifying @LPstart (which is omitted in the normal non-basic-block section case). All these call-site tables will share their action and type tables.
The C++ ABI somehow assumes that no landing pads point directly to LPStart (which works in the normal case since the function begin is never a landing pad), and uses LP.offset = 0 to specify no landing pad. In the case of basic block section where one section contains all the landing pads, the landing pad offset relative to LPStart could actually be zero. Thus, we avoid zero-offset landing pads by inserting a **nop** operation as the first non-CFI instruction in the exception section.
**Background on Exception Handling in C++ ABI**
https://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/blob/master/exceptions.pdf
Compiler emits an exception table for every function. When an exception is thrown, the stack unwinding library queries the unwind table (which includes the start and end of each function) to locate the exception table for that function.
The exception table includes a call site table for the function, which is used to guide the exception handling runtime to take the appropriate action upon an exception. Each call site record in this table is structured as follows:
| CallSite | --> Position of the call site (relative to the function entry)
| CallSite length | --> Length of the call site.
| Landing Pad | --> Position of the landing pad (relative to the landing pad fragment’s begin label)
| Action record offset | --> Position of the first action record
The call site records partition a function into different pieces and describe what action must be taken for each callsite. The callsite fields are relative to the start of the function (as captured in the unwind table).
The landing pad entry is a reference into the function and corresponds roughly to the catch block of a try/catch statement. When execution resumes at a landing pad, it receives an exception structure and a selector value corresponding to the type of the exception thrown, and executes similar to a switch-case statement. The landing pad field is relative to the beginning of the procedure fragment which includes all the landing pads (@LPStart). The C++ ABI requires all landing pads to be in the same fragment. Nonetheless, without basic block sections, @LPStart is the same as the function @Start (found in the unwind table) and can be omitted.
The action record offset is an index into the action table which includes information about which exception types are caught.
**C++ Exceptions with Basic Block Sections**
Basic block sections break the contiguity of a function fragment. Therefore, call sites must be specified relative to the beginning of the basic block section. Furthermore, the unwinding library should be able to find the corresponding callsites for each section. To do so, the .cfi_lsda directive for a section must point to the range of call-sites for that section.
This patch introduces a new **CallSiteRange** structure which specifies the range of call-sites which correspond to every section:
`struct CallSiteRange {
// Symbol marking the beginning of the precedure fragment.
MCSymbol *FragmentBeginLabel = nullptr;
// Symbol marking the end of the procedure fragment.
MCSymbol *FragmentEndLabel = nullptr;
// LSDA symbol for this call-site range.
MCSymbol *ExceptionLabel = nullptr;
// Index of the first call-site entry in the call-site table which
// belongs to this range.
size_t CallSiteBeginIdx = 0;
// Index just after the last call-site entry in the call-site table which
// belongs to this range.
size_t CallSiteEndIdx = 0;
// Whether this is the call-site range containing all the landing pads.
bool IsLPRange = false;
};`
With N basic-block-sections, the call-site table is partitioned into N call-site ranges.
Conceptually, we emit the call-site ranges for sections sequentially in the exception table as if each section has its own exception table. In the example below, two sections result in the two call site ranges (denoted by LSDA1 and LSDA2) placed next to each other. However, their call-sites will refer to records in the shared Action Table. We also emit the header fields (@LPStart and CallSite Table Length) for each call site range in order to place the call site ranges in separate LSDAs. We note that with -basic-block-sections, The CallSiteTableLength will not actually represent the length of the call site table, but rather the reference to the action table. Since the only purpose of this field is to locate the action table, correctness is guaranteed.
Finally, every call site range has one @LPStart pointer so the landing pads of each section must all reside in one section (not necessarily the same section). To make this easier, we decide to place all landing pads of the function in one section (hence the `IsLPRange` field in CallSiteRange).
| @LPStart | ---> Landing pad fragment ( LSDA1 points here)
| CallSite Table Length | ---> Used to find the action table.

This patch introduces the new .bb_addr_map section feature which allows us to emit the bits needed for mapping binary profiles to basic blocks into a separate section.
The format of the emitted data is represented as follows. It includes a header for every function:
| Address of the function | -> 8 bytes (pointer size)
| Number of basic blocks in this function (>0) | -> ULEB128
The header is followed by a BB record for every basic block. These records are ordered in the same order as MachineBasicBlocks are placed in the function. Each BB Info is structured as follows:
| Offset of the basic block relative to function begin | -> ULEB128
| Binary size of the basic block | -> ULEB128
| BB metadata | -> ULEB128 [ MBB.isReturn() OR MBB.hasTailCall() << 1 OR MBB.isEHPad() << 2 ]
The new feature will replace the existing "BB labels" functionality with -basic-block-sections=labels.
The .bb_addr_map section scrubs the specially-encoded BB symbols from the binary and makes it friendly to profilers and debuggers.
Furthermore, the new feature reduces the binary size overhead from 70% bloat to only 12%.

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.

This patch handles CFI with basic block sections, which unlike DebugInfo does
not support ranges. The DWARF standard explicitly requires emitting separate
CFI Frame Descriptor Entries for each contiguous fragment of a function. Thus,
the CFI information for all callee-saved registers (possibly including the
frame pointer, if necessary) have to be emitted along with redefining the
Call Frame Address (CFA), viz. where the current frame starts.
CFI directives are emitted in FDE’s in the object file with a low_pc, high_pc
specification. So, a single FDE must point to a contiguous code region unlike
debug info which has the support for ranges. This is what complicates CFI for
basic block sections.
Now, what happens when we start placing individual basic blocks in unique
sections:
* Basic block sections allow the linker to randomly reorder basic blocks in the
address space such that a given basic block can become non-contiguous with the
original function.
* The different basic block sections can no longer share the cfi_startproc and
cfi_endproc directives. So, each basic block section should emit this
independently.
* Each (cfi_startproc, cfi_endproc) directive will result in a new FDE that
caters to that basic block section.
* Now, this basic block section needs to duplicate the information from the
entry block to compute the CFA as it is an independent entity. It cannot refer
to the FDE of the original function and hence must duplicate all the stuff that
is needed to compute the CFA on its own.
* We are working on a de-duplication patch that can share common information in
FDEs in a CIE (Common Information Entry) and we will present this as a follow up
patch. This can significantly reduce the duplication overhead and is
particularly useful when several basic block sections are created.
* The CFI directives are emitted similarly for registers that are pushed onto
the stack, like callee saved registers in the prologue. There are cfi
directives that emit how to retrieve the value of the register at that point
when the push happened. This has to be duplicated too in a basic block that is
floated as a separate section.

Since the `RISCVExpandPseudo` pass has been split from
`RISCVExpandAtomicPseudo` pass, it would be nice to run the former as
early as possible (The latter has to be run as late as possible to
ensure correctness). Running earlier means we can reschedule these pairs
as we see fit.
Running earlier in the machine pass pipeline is good, but would mean
teaching many more passes about `hasLabelMustBeEmitted`. Splitting the
basic blocks also pessimises possible optimisations because some
optimisations are MBB-local, and others are disabled if the block has
its address taken (which is notionally what `hasLabelMustBeEmitted`
means).
This patch uses a new approach of setting the pre-instruction symbol on
the AUIPC instruction to a temporary symbol and referencing that. This
avoids splitting the basic block, but allows us to reference exactly the
instruction that we need to. Notionally, this approach seems more
correct because we do actually want to address a specific instruction.
This then allows the pass to be moved much earlier in the pass pipeline,
before both scheduling and register allocation. However, to do so we
must leave the MIR in SSA form (by not redefining registers), and so use
a virtual register for the intermediate value. By using this virtual
register, this pass now has to come before register allocation.

Summary:
When a desired symbol name contains invalid character that the
system assembler could not process, we need to emit .rename
directive in assembly path in order for that desired symbol name
to appear in the symbol table.

This patch uses ranges for debug information when a function contains basic block sections rather than using [lowpc, highpc]. This is also the first in a series of patches for debug info and does not contain the support for linker relaxation. That will be done as a follow up patch.

This function is deceptive at best: it doesn't return what you'd expect.
If you have an arbitrary GlobalValue and you want to determine the
alignment of that pointer, Value::getPointerAlignment() returns the
correct value. If you want the actual declared alignment of a function
or variable, GlobalObject::getAlignment() returns that.
This patch switches all the users of GlobalValue::getAlignment to an
appropriate alternative.
