Adds utilities for creating anonymous pointers and jump stubs to x86_64.h. These
are used by the GOT and Stubs builder, but may also be used by pass writers who
want to create pointer stubs for indirection.
This patch also switches the underlying type for LinkGraph content from
StringRef to ArrayRef<char>. This avoids any confusion when working with buffers
that contain null bytes in the middle like, for example, a newly added null
pointer content array. ;)
This patch introduces generic x86-64 edge kinds, and refactors the MachO/x86-64
backend to use these edge kinds. This simplifies the implementation of the
MachO/x86-64 backend and makes it possible to write generic x86-64 passes and
utilities.
The new edge kinds are different from the original set used in the MachO/x86-64
backend. Several edge kinds that were not meaningfully distinguished in that
backend (e.g. the PCRelMinusN edges) have been merged into single edge kinds in
the new scheme (these edge kinds can be reintroduced later if we find a use for
them). At the same time, new edge kinds have been introduced to convey extra
information about the state of the graph. E.g. The Request*AndTransformTo**
edges represent GOT/TLVP relocations prior to synthesis of the GOT/TLVP
entries, and the 'Relaxable' suffix distinguishes edges that are candidates for
optimization from edges which should be left as-is (e.g. to enable runtime
redirection).
ELF/x86-64 will be refactored to use these generic edges at some point in the
future, and I anticipate a similar refactor to create a generic arm64 support
header too.
