N_FUNC_COLD is a new MachO symbol attribute. It's a hint to the linker
to order a symbol towards the end of its section, to improve locality.
Example:
```
void a1() {}
__attribute__((cold)) void a2() {}
void a3() {}
int main() {
a1();
a2();
a3();
return 0;
}
```
A linker that supports N_FUNC_COLD will order _a2 to the end of the text
section. From `nm -njU` output, we see:
```
_a1
_a3
_main
_a2
```

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

- When signing return addresses with -msign-return-address=<scope>{+<key>},
either the A key instructions or the B key instructions can be used. To
correctly authenticate the return address, the unwinder/debugger must know
which key was used to sign the return address.
- When and exception is thrown or a break point reached, it may be necessary to
unwind the stack. To accomplish this, the unwinder/debugger must be able to
first authenticate an the return address if it has been signed.
- To enable this, the augmentation string of CIEs has been extended to allow
inclusion of a 'B' character. Functions that are signed using the B key
variant of the instructions should have and FDE whose associated CIE has a 'B'
in the augmentation string.
- One must also be able to preserve these semantics when first stepping from a
high level language into assembly and then, as a second step, into an object
file. To achieve this, I have introduced a new assembly directive
'.cfi_b_key_frame ', that tells the assembler the current frame uses return
address signing with the B key.
- This ensures that the FDE is associated with a CIE that has 'B' in the
augmentation string.

build version load commands in the object file
This commit introduces a new metadata node called "SDK Version". It will be set
by the frontend to mark the platform SDK (macOS/iOS/etc) version which was used
during that particular compilation.
This node is used when machine code is emitted, by either saving the SDK version
into the appropriate macho load command (version min/build version), or by
emitting the assembly for these load commands with the SDK version specified as
well.
The assembly for both load commands is extended by allowing it to contain the
sdk_version X, Y [, Z] trailing directive to represent the SDK version
respectively.

Summary:
If the target does not support `.asciz` and `.ascii` directives, the
strings are represented as bytes and each byte is placed on the new line
as a separate byte directive `.b8 <data>`. NVPTX target allows to
represent the vector of the data of the same type as a vector, where
values are separated using `,` symbol: `.b8 <data1>,<data2>,...`. This
allows to reduce the size of the final PTX file. Ptxas tool includes ptx
files into the resulting binary object, so reducing the size of the PTX
file is important.

Now that we create the label at the point of the directive, we don't

The standard library functions ::isprint/std::isprint have platform-
and locale-dependent behavior which makes LLVM's output less
predictable. In particular, regression tests my fail depending on the
implementation of these functions.
Implement llvm::isPrint in StringExtras.h with a standard behavior and
replace all uses of ::isprint/std::isprint by a call it llvm::isPrint.
The function is inlined and does not look up language settings so it
should perform better than the standard library's version.
Such a replacement has already been done for isdigit, isalpha, isxdigit
in r314883. gtest does the same in gtest-printers.cc using the following
justification:
// Returns true if c is a printable ASCII character. We test the
// value of c directly instead of calling isprint(), which is buggy on
// Windows Mobile.
inline bool IsPrintableAscii(wchar_t c) {
return 0x20 <= c && c <= 0x7E;
}
Similar issues have also been encountered by Julia:
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/7416
I noticed the problem myself when on Windows isprint('\t') started to
evaluate to true (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51435249) and
thus caused several unit tests to fail. The result of isprint doesn't
seem to be well-defined even for ASCII characters. Therefore I suggest
to replace isprint by a platform-independent version.

In some cases, for example when compiling a preprocessed file, the
front-end is not able to provide an MD5 checksum for all files. When
that happens, omit the MD5 checksums from the final DWARF, because
DWARF doesn't have a way to indicate that some but not all files have
a checksum.
When assembling a .s file, and some but not all .file directives
provide an MD5 checksum, issue a warning and don't emit MD5 into the
DWARF.

On targets like Arm some relaxations may only be performed when certain
architectural features are available. As functions can be compiled with
differing levels of architectural support we must make a judgement on
whether we can relax based on the MCSubtargetInfo for the function. This
change passes through the MCSubtargetInfo for the function to
fixupNeedsRelaxation so that the decision on whether to relax can be made
per function. In this patch, only the ARM backend makes use of this
information. We must also pass the MCSubtargetInfo to applyFixup because
some fixups skip error checking on the assumption that relaxation has
occurred, to prevent code-generation errors applyFixup must see the same
MCSubtargetInfo as fixupNeedsRelaxation.

Teach AsmParser to check with Assembler for when evaluating constant
expressions. This improves the handing of preprocessor expressions
that must be resolved at parse time. This idiom can be found as
assembling-time assertion checks in source-level assemblers. Note that
this relies on the MCStreamer to keep sufficient tabs on Section /
Fragment information which the MCAsmStreamer does not. As a result the
textual output may fail where the equivalent object generation would
pass. This can most easily be resolved by folding the MCAsmStreamer
and MCObjectStreamer together which is planned for in a separate
patch.
Currently, this feature is only enabled for assembly input, keeping IR
compilation consistent between assembly and object generation.

Rely on the assembler to finalize the layout of the DWARF/Itanium
exception-handling LSDA. Rather than calculate the exact size of each
thing in the LSDA, use assembler directives:
To emit the offset to the TTBase label:
.uleb128 .Lttbase0-.Lttbaseref0
.Lttbaseref0:
To emit the size of the call site table:
.uleb128 .Lcst_end0-.Lcst_begin0
.Lcst_begin0:
... call site table entries ...
.Lcst_end0:
To align the type info table:
... action table ...
.balign 4
.long _ZTIi
.long _ZTIl
.Lttbase0:
Using assembler directives simplifies the compiler and allows switching
the encoding of offsets in the call site table from udata4 to uleb128 for
a large code size savings. (This commit does not change the encoding.)
The combination of the uleb128 followed by a balign creates an unfortunate
dependency cycle that the assembler must sometimes resolve either by
padding an LEB or by inserting zero padding before the type table. See
PR35809 or GNU as bug 4029.
