Witness table accessors return a witness table for a given type's
conformance to a protocol. They are called directly from IRGen
(when we need the witness table instance) and from runtime conformance
checking (swift_conformsToProtocol digs the access function out of the
protocol conformance record). They have two interesting functions:
1) For witness tables requiring instantiation, they call
swift_instantiateWitnessTable directly.
2) For synthesized witness tables that might not be unique, they call
swift_getForeignWitnessTable.
Extend swift_instantiateWitnessTable() to handle both runtime
uniquing (for #2) as well as handling witness tables that don't have
a "generic table", i.e., don't need any actual instantiation. Use it
as the universal entry point for "get a witness table given a specific
conformance descriptor and type", eliminating witness table accessors
entirely.
Make a few related simplifications:
* Drop the "pattern" from the generic witness table. Instead, store
the pattern in the main part of the conformance descriptor, always.
* Drop the "conformance kind" from the protocol conformance
descriptor, since it was only there to distinguish between witness
table (pattern) vs. witness table accessor.
* Internalize swift_getForeignWitnessTable(); IRGen no longer needs to
call it.
Reduces the code size of the standard library (+assertions build) by
~149k.

- The module maps need to be renamed to module.modulemap
- The module maps need to be copied for non cross compiled builds as well
- The cmake variable is DIRS not DIR
Extending the mangling of symbolic references to also include indirect
symbolic references. This allows mangled names to refer to context
descriptors (both type and protocol) not in the current source file.
For now, only permit indirect symbolic references within the current module,
because remote mirrors (among other things) is unable to handle relocations.

Collapse the generic witness table, which was used only as a uniquing
data structure during witness table instantiation, into the protocol
conformance record. This colocates all of the constant protocol conformance
metadata and makes it possible for us to recover the generic witness table
from the conformance descriptor (including looking at the pattern itself).
Rename swift_getGenericWitnessTable() to swift_instantiateWitnessTable()
to make it clearer what its purpose is, and take the conformance descriptor
directly.
* [SILOptimizer] Don't diagnose infinite recursion if a branch terminates the program
This patch augments the infinite recursion checker to not warn if a
branch terminates, but still warns if a branch calls into something with
@_semantics("programtermination_point"). This way, calling fatalError
doesn't disqualify you for the diagnostic, but calling exit does.
This also removes the warning workaround in the standard library, and
annotates the internal _assertionFailure functions as
programtermination_points, so they get this treatment too.
* Fix formatting in SILInstructions.cpp
* Re-add missing test
This patch augments the infinite recursion checker to not warn if a
branch terminates, but still warns if a branch calls into something with
`@_semantics("arc.programtermination_point")`. This way, calling `fatalError`
doesn't disqualify you for the diagnostic, but calling `exit` does.
This also removes the warning workaround in the standard library, and
annotates the internal _assertionFailure functions as
`programtermination_point`s, so they get this treatment too.
Indicate whether a particular associated type witness is a default (whose
mangled name is relative to the protocol) vs. being supplied as part of the
conformance (whose mangled name is relative to the conforming type). The
use of pointer identity to distinguish these cases can fail due to the
coalescing of these linker symbols.
Default associated conformance accessors will be used in default
witness tables to fill in associated conformances for defaulted
associated types. Add (de|re|)mangling support for them and make them
linking entities in IRGen.
When an associated type witness has a default, record that as part of
the protocol and emit a default associated type metadata accessor into the
default witness table. This allows a defaulted associated type to be
added to a protocol resiliently.
This is another part of rdar://problem/44167982, but it’s still very
limiting because the new associated type cannot have any conformances.
Introduce an alias that refers one element prior to the start of a
protocol descriptor’s protocol requirements. This can be subtracted from
an associated type descriptor address to determine the offset of the
associated type accessor within a corresponding witness table. The code
generation for the latter is not yet implemented.
"WIP" is hardly unique to Swift, but it is a three-letter acronym that
someone might not have encountered before. "DNM" seems to have arisen
organically over the last few weeks.
This goes with 810b240354: if we want to pass extra arguments to SSH
when using remote-run, there has to be a way to get them to remote-run
when using lit.
