For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
This reverts commit 55c4ff91bd.
Issues were introduced as discussed in https://reviews.llvm.org/D88241
where this change made previous bugs in the linker and BitCodeWriter
visible.
Make the corresponding change that was made for byval in
b7141207a4. Like byval, this requires a
bulk update of the test IR tests to include the type before this can
be mandatory.
Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

LLVM IR recently added a Type parameter to the byval Attribute, so that
when pointers become opaque and no longer have an element type the
information will still be present in IR.
For now the Type parameter is optional (which is why Clang didn't need
this change at the time), but it will become mandatory soon.

This is important in the case that the LLVM-inferred llvm-struct
alignment is not the same as the clang-known C-struct alignment.

This patch uses a new ABIInfo implementation specific to the le32
target, rather than falling back to DefaultABIInfo. Its behavior is
basically the same, but it also allows the regparm argument attribute.
It also includes basic tests for argument codegen and attributes.
