DXContainer files resemble traditional object files in that they are
comprised of parts which resemble sections. Adding DXContainer as an
object file format in the MC layer will allow emitting DXContainer

Previously, omitting unnecessary DWARF unwinds was only done in two
cases:
* For Darwin + aarch64, if no DWARF unwind info is needed for all the
functions in a TU, then the `__eh_frame` section would be omitted
entirely. If any one function needed DWARF unwind, then MC would emit
DWARF unwind entries for all the functions in the TU.
* For watchOS, MC would omit DWARF unwind on a per-function basis, as
long as compact unwind was available for that function.
This diff makes it so that we omit DWARF unwind on a per-function basis
for Darwin + aarch64 as well. In addition, we introduce the flag
`--emit-dwarf-unwind=` which can toggle between `always`,
`no-compact-unwind` (only emit DWARF when CU cannot be emitted for a
given function), and the target platform `default`. `no-compact-unwind`
is particularly useful for newer x86_64 platforms: we don't want to omit
DWARF unwind for x86_64 in general due to possible backwards compat
issues, but we should make it possible for people to opt into this
behavior if they are only targeting newer platforms.
**Motivation:** I'm working on adding support for `__eh_frame` to LLD,
but I'm concerned that we would suffer a perf hit. Processing compact
unwind is already expensive, and that's a simpler format than EH frames.
Given that MC currently produces one EH frame entry for every compact
unwind entry, I don't think processing them will be cheap. I tried to do
something clever on LLD's end to drop the unnecessary EH frames at parse
time, but this made the code significantly more complex. So I'm looking
at fixing this at the MC level instead.
**Addendum:** It turns out that there was a latent bug in the X86
backend when `OmitDwarfIfHaveCompactUnwind` is naively enabled, which is
not too surprising given that this combination has not been heretofore
used.
For functions that have unwind info that cannot be encoded with CU, MC
would end up dropping both the compact unwind entry (OK; existing
behavior) as well as the DWARF entries (not OK). This diff fixes things
so that we emit the DWARF entry, as well as a CU entry with encoding
`UNWIND_X86_MODE_DWARF` -- this basically tells the unwinder to look for
the DWARF entry. I'm not 100% sure the `UNWIND_X86_MODE_DWARF` CU entry
is necessary, this was the simplest fix. ld64 seems to be able to handle
both the absence and presence of this CU entry. Ultimately ld64 (and
LLD) will synthesize `UNWIND_X86_MODE_DWARF` if it is absent, so there
is no impact to the final binary size.

Since eventually we want to add support for DXBC as a target

For PGO on AIX, when we switch to the linux-style PGO variable access
(via _start and _stop labels), we need the compiler to generate a .ref
assembly for each of the three csects:
- __llvm_prf_data[RW]
- __llvm_prf_names[RO]
- __llvm_prf_vnds[RW]
We insert the .ref inside the __llvm_prf_cnts[RW] csect so that if it's
live then the 3 csects are live.
For example, for a testcase with at least one function definition, when
compiled with -fprofile-generate we should generate:
.csect __llvm_prf_cnts[RW],3
.ref __llvm_prf_data[RW] <<============ needs to be inserted
.ref __llvm_prf_names[RO] <<===========
the __llvm_prf_vnds is not always present, so we reference it only when
it's present.

C++23 will make these conversions ambiguous - so fix them to make the
codebase forward-compatible with C++23 (& a follow-up change I've made
will make this ambiguous/invalid even in <C++23 so we don't regress
this & it generally improves the code anyway)
Global values imply flags such as readable, writable, executable for the
sections that they will be placed in. Currently MC places all such
entries into the same section, using the first set of flags seen. This
can lead to situations in LTO where a writable global is placed in the
same named section as a readable global from another file, and the
section may not be marked writable.
D72194 ensures that mergeable globals with explicit sections are placed
in separate sections with compatible entry size, by emitting the
`unique` assembly syntax where appropriate. This change extends that
approach to include section flags, so that globals with different
section flags are emitted in separate unique sections.

This untangles the MCContext and the MCObjectFileInfo. There is a circular
dependency between MCContext and MCObjectFileInfo. Currently this dependency
also exists during construction: You can't contruct a MOFI without a MCContext
without constructing the MCContext with a dummy version of that MOFI first.
This removes this dependency during construction. In a perfect world,
MCObjectFileInfo wouldn't depend on MCContext at all, but only be stored in the
MCContext, like other MC information. This is future work.
This also shifts/adds more information to the MCContext making it more

The situation with inline asm/MC error reporting is kind of messy at the
moment. The errors from MC layout are not reliably propagated and users
have to specify an inlineasm handler separately to get inlineasm
diagnose. The latter issue is not a correctness issue but could be improved.
* Kill LLVMContext inlineasm diagnose handler and migrate it to use
DiagnoseInfo/DiagnoseHandler.
* Introduce `DiagnoseInfoSrcMgr` to diagnose SourceMgr backed errors. This
covers use cases like inlineasm, MC, and any clients using SourceMgr.
* Move AsmPrinter::SrcMgrDiagInfo and its instance to MCContext. The next step
is to combine MCContext::SrcMgr and MCContext::InlineSrcMgr because in all
use cases, only one of them is used.
* If LLVMContext is available, let MCContext uses LLVMContext's diagnose
handler; if LLVMContext is not available, MCContext uses its own default
diagnose handler which just prints SMDiagnostic.

getWasmSection creates sections if they don't exist, but doesn't add them to the Symbols table. This may cause problems in subsequent calls to getOrCreateSymbol which checks this table, the calls createSymbol assuming it doesn't exist, which then checks UsedNames and finds out it does exist, causing an assert on trying to rename a non-temp symbol.
I tried also fixing the somewhat unintuitive forced suffixing (adding `0`), but it turns out that WasmObjectWriter currently assumes these section symbols are unique, so that may have to be a separate fix: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49252

CanBeUnnamed is rarely false. Splitting to a createNamedTempSymbol makes the
intention clearer and matches the direction of reverted r240130 (to drop the
unneeded parameters).
No behavior change.
Errors from MCAssembler, MCObjectStreamer and *ObjectWriter typically cause a crash:
```
% cat c.c
int bar;
extern int foo __attribute__((alias("bar")));
% clang -c -fcommon c.c
fatal error: error in backend: Common symbol 'bar' cannot be used in assignment expr
PLEASE submit a bug report to ...
Stack dump:
...
```
`LLVMTargetMachine::addPassesToEmitFile` constructs `MachineModuleInfoWrapperPass`
which creates a MCContext without SourceMgr. `MCContext::reportError` calls
`report_fatal_error` which gets captured by Clang `LLVMErrorHandler` and gets translated
to the output above.
Since `MCContext::reportError` errors indicate user errors, such a crashing style error
is inappropriate. So this patch changes `report_fatal_error` to `SourceMgr().PrintMessage`.
```
% clang -c -fcommon c.c
<unknown>:0: error: Common symbol 'bar' cannot be used in assignment expr
```
Ideally we should at least recover the original filename (the line information
is generally lost). That requires general improvement to MC diagnostics,
because currently in many cases SMLoc information is lost.
Allow sections to be placed into COMDAT groups, in addtion to functions and data
segments.
Also make section symbols unnamed, which allows sections with identical names
(section names are independent of their section symbols, but previously we
gave the symbols the same name as their sections, which results in collisions
when sections are identically-named).

we need get the value of StorageClass, Type,MappingClass before we invoke the getXCOFFSection every time.
actually , we can get the StorageClass of the MCSectionXCOFF from it's delegated symbol.
2. we also change the oprand of branch instruction from symbol name to qualify symbol name.

Ensure that symbols explicitly* assigned a section name are placed into
a section with a compatible entry size.
This is done by creating multiple sections with the same name** if
incompatible symbols are explicitly given the name of an incompatible
section, whilst:
- Avoiding using uniqued sections where possible (for readability and
to maximize compatibly with assemblers).
- Creating as few SHF_MERGE sections as possible (for efficiency).
Given that each symbol is assigned to a section in a single pass, we
must decide which section each symbol is assigned to without seeing the
properties of all symbols. A stable and easy to understand assignment is
desirable. The following rules facilitate this: The "generic" section
for a given section name will be mergeable if the name is a mergeable
"default" section name (such as .debug_str), a mergeable "implicit"
section name (such as .rodata.str2.2), or MC has already created a
mergeable "generic" section for the given section name (e.g. in response
to a section directive in inline assembly). Otherwise, the "generic"
section for a given name is non-mergeable; and, non-mergeable symbols
are assigned to the "generic" section, while mergeable symbols are
assigned to uniqued sections.
Terminology:
"default" sections are those always created by MC initially, e.g. .text
or .debug_str.
"implicit" sections are those created normally by MC in response to the
symbols that it encounters, i.e. in the absence of an explicit section
name assignment on the symbol, e.g. a function foo might be placed into
a .text.foo section.
"generic" sections are those that are referred to when a unique section
ID is not supplied, e.g. if there are multiple unique .bob sections then
".quad .bob" will reference the generic .bob section. Typically, the
generic section is just the first section of a given name to be created.
Default sections are always generic.
* Typically, section names might be explicitly assigned in source code
using a language extension e.g. a section attribute: _attribute_
((section ("section-name"))) -
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html
** I refer to such sections as unique/uniqued sections. In assembly the
", unique," assembly syntax is used to express such sections.

Some minor fixes were required to LLVM's tests, for tests had been using

This fix relies on the ",unique ," assembly feature. This feature is not
available until bintuils version 2.35
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25380). If the
integrated assembler is not being used then we avoid using this feature
for compatibility and instead try to place mergeable symbols into
non-mergeable sections or issue an error otherwise.
