Add r224985 back with a fix.
The issues was that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L symbol in the symbol table or not. Original message: Remove doesSectionRequireSymbols. In an assembly expression like bar: .long L0 + 1 the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0. In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information. For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next. The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero addend. In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections. This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented without the symbol. This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too. llvm-svn: 225048
