Summary:
This is similar to what was done for Darwin in rL264645 /
http://reviews.llvm.org/D16737, but it uses COFF COMDATs to achive the
same result instead of relying on new custom linker features.
As on MachO, this creates one metadata global per instrumented global.
The metadata global is placed in the custom .ASAN$GL section, which the
ASan runtime will iterate over during initialization. There are no other
references to the metadata, so normal linker dead stripping would
discard it. However, the metadata is put in a COMDAT group with the
instrumented global, so that it will be discarded if and only if the
instrumented global is discarded.
I didn't update the ASan ABI version check since this doesn't affect
non-Windows platforms, and the WinASan ABI isn't really stable yet.
Implementing this for ELF will require extending LLVM IR and MC a bit so
that we can use non-COMDAT section groups.
