The protocol conformance record has two bits to describe how the
witness table will be produced. There are currently three states
(direct reference to witness table, witness table accessor, and
conditional witness table accessor). Add a reserved case for the
fourth state so the Swift 5 runtime will (silently) ignore
conformances using that fourth state, when/if some future Swift
uses it.
Swift class metadata has a bit to distinguish it from non-Swift Objective-C
classes. The stable ABI will use a different bit so that stable Swift and
pre-stable Swift can be distinguished from each other.
No bits are actually changed yet. Enabling the new bit needs to wait for
other coordination such as libobjc.

- Create the value witness table as a separate global object instead
of concatenating it to the metadata pattern.
- Always pass the metadata to the runtime and let the runtime handle
instantiating or modifying the value witness table.
- Pass the right layout algorithm version to the runtime; currently
this is always "Swift 5".
- Create a runtime function to instantiate single-case enums.
Among other things, this makes the copying of the VWT, and any
modifications of it, explicit and in the runtime, which is more
future-proof.
We can reduce the uniquing header from 3–4 pointer-sized words down to 1–2 32-bit words + one pointer:
- The initialization function (when present) and name are always emitted into the same binary image, so we can use relative references to shrink these down to 32-bit fields.
- We don't ever simultaneously need the initialization flags and the initialized uniqued pointer. (Keeping the "initialization function" flag bit theoretically lets us turn a "consume" load into a "relaxed" load, but that makes no practical difference on most contemporary architectures.) 12 flag bits Ought To Be Enough For Anyone and lets us reliably tell a valid pointer from a flag set, so overlap the initialization flags with the eventual invasive cache value.
The invasive cache is left inline, since we've decided we're not going to make the rest of type metadata records ever be true-const, so they'll already be sitting on a dirty page. A dynamic linker that was sufficiently Swift-optimized to precalculate the other load-time-initialized entries in metadata could likely precompute the invasive cache value as well.

Rather than silently returning "false" when we are unable to attempt
to satisfy a conditional conformance at runtime, produce a runtime
warning first, to note to users that this behavior is incorrect and
will change in the future.
While creating demangled tree for function and tuple types
`_swift_buildDemanglingForMetadata` should use correct format
established by mangler and respected by printer/demangler.
NFC intended. The layout of trailing matter here is getting fairly complex, so it's good to use LLVM's existing library code to keep track of it. We use a fork of llvm's TrailingObjects.h header so that future changes to LLVM don't disturb the ABI of Swift runtime objects that use the template.
Restructure the COFF metadata handling to use the linker section
grouping to emit section start/stop markers in the appropriate location.
This allows us to lookup the sections statically without having to the
walk the entire image structure.
Introduce a constructor for PE/COFF binaries. This will ensure that the
registration occurs for all modules appropriately. This should resolve
rdar://problem/19045112. The registration should occur prior to
`DllMain` being invoked from `DllMainCRTStartup`.
Don't emit placeholders for field offsets and vtable entries,
since they were always null. Instead, calculate the final size
of class metadata at runtime using the size of the superclass
metadata and the number of immediate members, and only copy
this prefix from the template to the instantiated metadata,
zero-filling the rest.
For this to work with non-generic resilient classes and
non-generic subclasses of generic classes, we need a new
runtime entry point to relocate non-generic class metadata,
calculating its size at runtime using the same strategy.
When allocating metadata for a generic class we would copy
any prefix matter from the superclass metadata, if the
superclass metadata's address point was greater than our
address point.
While we may use prefix matter for resilient metadata
in the future, I don't believe just copying bytes like
this will prove useful.
Proper evaluation of conditional conformances at runtime (e.g., as part of
dynamic casting) is too large to tackle in the Swift 4.1 timeframe. For now,
record that a conformance is conditional in the protocol conformance record,
and always return "does not conform" to such types.
Fixes rdar://problem/35761301.
Restructure the ELF handling to be completely agnostic to the OS.
Rather than usng the loader to query the section information, use the
linker to construct linker tables and synthetic markers for the
beginning and of the table. Save off the values of these pointers and
pass them along through the constructor to the runtime for registration.
This removes the need for the begin/end objects. Remove the special
construction of the begin/end objects through the special assembly
constructs, preferring to do this in C with a bit of inline assembly to
ensure that the section is always allocated.
Remove the special handling for the various targets, the empty object
file can be linked on all the targets.
The new object file has no requirements on the ordering. It needs to
simply be injected into the link.
Name the replacement file `swiftrt.o` mirroring `crt.o` from libc. Merge
the constructor and the definition into a single object file.
This approach is generally more portable, overall simpler to implement,
and more robust.
Thanks to Orlando Bassotto for help analyzing some of the odd behaviours
when switching over.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in error machinery.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in Foundation overlay.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in collections and hashing.
* [runtime] Remove symbol controls from the Linux definition of swift_allocError.
* [tests] Add more stub functions for tests that link directly to the runtime.
This requires the witness table accessor function to gain two new parameters: a
pointer to an array of witness tables and their count. These are then passed down
to the instantiation function which reads them out of the array and writes them
into the newly-allocated witness table.
We use the count to assert that the number of conditional witness tables passed
in is what the protocol conformance expects, which is especially useful while
the feature is still experimental: it is a compiler/runtime bug if an incorrect
number is passed.
Switch most general endpoint to be `flags, parameters, parameterFlags, result`,
instead of opaque `void **`, more specialized ones to use follow argument scheme:
`flags, param0, [flags0], ..., paramN, [flagsN], result` and store parameter/flags
information separately in `FunctionCacheEntry::{Key, Data}` as well.
Currently only single 'inout' flag has been encoded into function
metadata, these changes extend function metadata to support up to
32 flags per parameter.

This is a small code size win, and also gives us some abstraction so that future cooperative ObjC compilers/runtimes might be able to interoperate ObjC class objects with Swift type metadata efficiently than they currently are in the fragile Swift runtime.
While I'm here, I also noticed that swift_getObjCClassMetadata was unnecessarily getting exposed in non-ObjC-interop runtime builds, so I fixed that as well.
This is different from swift_deallocObject in that it applies to objects
at +1 while swift_deallocObject actually only applies to objects whose
state is deiniting (swift_release was called).
