In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Patch by Hsiangkai Wang.
llvm-svn: 331841
kernel verifier is becoming smarter and soon will support
direct and indirect function calls.
Remove obsolete error from BPF backend.
Make call to use PCRel_4 fixup.
'bpf to bpf' calls are distinguished from 'bpf to kernel' calls
by insn->src_reg == BPF_PSEUDO_CALL == 1 which is used as relocation
indicator similar to ld_imm64->src_reg == BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD == 1
The actual 'call' instruction remains the same for both
'bpf to kernel' and 'bpf to bpf' calls.

Emit error when BPF backend sees a call to a global function or to an external symbol.
The kernel verifier only allows calls to predefined helpers from bpf.h
which are defined in 'enum bpf_func_id'. Such calls in assembler must
look like 'call [1-9]+' where number matches bpf_func_id.
