[MC][ELF] Put explicit section name symbols into entry size compatible sections
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.
Fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43457.
See https://reviews.llvm.org/D68101 for previous discussions leading to
this patch.
Some minor fixes were required to LLVM's tests, for tests had been using
the old behavior - which allowed for explicitly assigning globals with
incompatible entry sizes to a section.
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.

Reland "[Clang][CodeGen][ObjC]: Fix CoreFoundation on ELF with `-fconstant-cfstrings`"
Relanding rL342883 with more fragmented tests to test ELF-specific
section emission separately from broad-scope CFString tests. Now this
tests the following separately
1). CoreFoundation builds and linkage for ELF while building it.
2). CFString ELF section emission outside CF in assembly output.
3). Broad scope `cfstring3.c` tests which cover all object formats at
bitcode level and assembly level (including ELF).
This fixes non-bridged CoreFoundation builds on ELF targets
that use -fconstant-cfstrings. The original changes from differential
for a similar patch to PE/COFF (https://reviews.llvm.org/D44491) did not
check for an edge case where the global could be a constant which surfaced
as an issue when building for ELF because of different linkage semantics.
This patch addresses several issues with crashes related to CF builds on ELF
as well as improves data layout by ensuring string literals that back
the actual CFConstStrings end up in .rodata in line with Mach-O.
Change itself tested with CoreFoundation on Linux x86_64 but should be valid
for BSD-like systems as well that use ELF as the native object format.
