For the AIX linker, under default options, global or weak symbols which
have no visibility bits set to zero (i.e. no visibility, similar to ELF
default) are only exported if specified on an export list provided to
the linker. So AIX has an additional visibility style called
"exported" which indicates to the linker that the symbol should
be explicitly globally exported.
This change maps "dllexport" in the LLVM IR to correspond to XCOFF
exported as we feel this best models the intended semantic (discussion
on the discourse RFC thread: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-exported-visibility-style-to-the-ir-to-model-xcoff-exported-visibility/61853)
and allows us to enable writing this visibility for the AIX target
in the assembly path.

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.

To better reflect the meaning of the now-disambiguated {GlobalValue,
GlobalAlias}::getBaseObject after breaking off GlobalIFunc::getResolverFunction
(D109792), the function is renamed to getAliaseeObject.
In preparation for passing the MCSubtargetInfo (STI) through to writeNops
so that it can use the STI in operation at the time, we need to record the
STI in operation when a MCAlignFragment may write nops as padding. The
STI is currently unused, a further patch will pass it through to
writeNops.
There are many places that can create an MCAlignFragment, in most cases
we can find out the STI in operation at the time. In a few places this
isn't possible as we are in initialisation or finalisation, or are
emitting constant pools. When possible I've tried to find the most
appropriate existing fragment to obtain the STI from, when none is
available use the per module STI.
For constant pools we don't actually need to use EmitCodeAlign as the
constant pools are data anyway so falling through into it via an
executable NOP is no better than falling through into data padding.
This is a prerequisite for D45962 which uses the STI to emit the
appropriate NOP for the STI. Which can differ per fragment.
Note that involves an interface change to InitSections. It is now
called initSections and requires a SubtargetInfo as a parameter.

The dst/dstt/dstst/dststt instructions are nop's on all PowerPC
cores that AIX supports. The AIX assembler also does not accept
these mnemonics. Turn them into nop's on AIX (similar to dstall).
Summary:
The bit order of the has_vec and longtbtable bits in the traceback table generated by the XL compiler flipped at some point after v12.1. This is different from the definition is the AIX header debug.h. The change in the XL compiler that caused the deviation from the OS header definition was unintentional. Since both orderings are extant and the XL compiler runtime also expects the ordering defined by the OS, we will correct the output from LLVM to match the defined ordering given by the OS (which is also consistent with the Assembler Language Reference). Mitigation for traceback tables encoded with the wrong ordering is required for either ordering.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D98078
Adds support for the TLS general dynamic access model to
assembly files on AIX 32-bit.
To generate the correct code sequence when accessing a TLS variable
`v`, we first create two TOC entry nodes, one for the variable offset, one
for the region handle. These nodes are followed by a `PPCISD::TLSGD_AIX`
node (new node introduced by this patch).
The `PPCISD::TLSGD_AIX` node (`TLSGDAIX` pseudo instruction) is
expanded to 2 copies (to put the variable offset and region handle in
the right registers) and a call to `__tls_get_addr`.
This patch also changes the way TC entries are generated in asm files.
If the generated TC entry is for the region handle of a TLS variable,
we add the `@m` relocation and the `.` prefix to the entry name.
For example:
```
L..C0:
.tc .v[TC],v[TL]@m -> region handle
L..C1:
.tc v[TC],v[TL] -> variable offset
```

We currently represent TOC entries by an MCSymbol. This is not enough in some situations.
For example, when accessing an initialized TLS variable v on AIX using the general dynamic
model, we need to generate the two following entries for v:
.tc .v[TC],v@m
.tc v[TC],v
One is for the region handle (with the @m relocation), the other is for the variable offset.
This refactoring allows storing several entries for the same symbol with different VariantKind
in the TOC. If the VariantKind is not specified, we default to VK_None.
The AIX TLS implementation using this refactoring to generate the two entries will be posted
in a subsequent patch.

Such a loader is implemented as a freestanding ELF32 LSB binary.
2) Userspace emulation of a 32-bit LE architecture such as x86 on 64-bit hosts such as PowerPC64LE with tools like box86 requires having a 32-bit LE toolchain and library set, as they operate by translating only the main binary and switching to native code when making library calls.

In IBM compiler xlclang , there is an option -fnovisibility which suppresses visibility. For more details see: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGH3R_16.1.0/com.ibm.xlcpp161.aix.doc/compiler_ref/opt_visibility.html.
We need to add the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility for compatibility with the IBM AIX OS (as the option is enabled by default in AIX). With this option llvm does not emit any visibility attribute to ASM or XCOFF object file.
The option only work on the AIX OS, for other non-AIX OS using the option will report an unsupported options error.
In AIX OS:
1.1 the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility is enabled by default , if there is not -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command .
1.2 if there is -fvisibility=* explicitly but not -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. it will generate visibility attributes.
1.3 if there are both -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. The option "-mignore-xcoff-visibility" wins , it do not emit the visibility attribute.
The option -mignore-xcoff-visibility has no effect on visibility attribute when compile with -emit-llvm option to generated LLVM IR.

Some design decision worth noting about:
I've noticed a recent mailing discussing about why string literal is
not affected by -fdata-sections for ELF target:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-September/145121.html
But on AIX, our linker could not split the mergeable string like other target.
So I think it would make more sense for us to emit separate csect for
every mergeable string in -fdata-sections mode,
as there might not be other ways for linker to do garbage collection
on unused mergeable string.
