A problem with our old behavior becomes observable under x86-64 COFF
when we need a read-only GV which has an initializer which is referenced
using a relocation: we would mark the section as writable. Marking the
section as writable interferes with section merging.
This fixes PR21009.

This reverts commit r217211.
Both the bfd ld and gold outputs were valid. They were using a Rela relocation,
so the value present in the relocated location was not used, which caused me
to misread the output.

Summary:
This fixes a long standing issue where we would emit many little .text
sections and only one .pdata and .xdata section. Now we generate one
.pdata / .xdata pair per .text section and associate them correctly.
Fixes PR19667.

On MachO, putting a symbol that doesn't start with a 'L' or 'l' in one of the
__TEXT,__literal* sections prevents the linker from merging the context of the
section.
Since private GVs are the ones the get mangled to start with 'L' or 'l', we now
only put those on the __TEXT,__literal* sections.

COFF lacks a feature that other object file formats support: mergeable
sections.
To work around this, MSVC sticks constant pool entries in special COMDAT
sections so that each constant is in it's own section. This permits
unused constants to be dropped and it also allows duplicate constants in
different translation units to get merged together.
This fixes PR20262.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

* Section association cannot use just the section name as many
sections can have the same name. With this patch, the comdat symbol in
an assoc section is interpreted to mean a symbol in the associated
section and the mapping is discovered from it.
* Comdat symbols were not being set correctly. Instead we were getting
whatever was output first for that section.
A consequence is that associative sections now must use .section to
set the association. Using .linkonce would not work since it is not
possible to change a sections comdat symbol (it is used to decide if
we should create a new section or reuse an existing one).
This includes r210298, which was reverted because it was asserting
on an associated section having the same comdat as the associated
section.

For MIPS, we have to encode the personality routine with
an indirect pointer to absptr; otherwise, some link warning
warning will be raised, and the program might crash in some
early MIPS Android device.

This allows us to put dynamic initializers for weak data into the same
comdat group as the data being initialized. This is necessary for MSVC
ABI compatibility. Once we have comdats for guard variables, we can use
the combination to help GlobalOpt fire more often for weak data with
guarded initialization on other platforms.

Summary:
Local common symbols were properly inserted into the .bss section.
However, putting external common symbols in the .bss section would give
them a strong definition.
Instead, encode them as undefined, external symbols who's symbol value
is equivalent to their size.

This is a pretty straight forward translation for COFF, we just need to
stick the data in a COMDAT section marked as
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES.
N.B. We must be careful to avoid sticking entities with private linkage
in COMDAT groups. COFF is pretty hostile to the renaming of entities so
we must be careful to disallow GlobalVariables with unstable names.

Summary:
llvm/MC/MCSectionMachO.h and llvm/Support/MachO.h both had the same

support.
No functionality change.

TargetLoweringBase is implemented in CodeGen, so before this patch we had
a dependency fom Target to CodeGen. This would show up as a link failure of
llvm-stress when building with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
This fixes pr18900.
